A fleeing Hero's head exploded before the body was thrown through the city walls.
Every Hero in the city watched in horror as the headless body shot into the sky again.
What the fuck were they supposed to do?!
This was their Governor!
Their Governor was a Specter?!
A bright light appeared in the sky, and the Governor hit the ground again, but this time, there was a Zephyx Suppressor around her.
"Let me go! I'm not a Specter!" she shouted.
The Heroes watched their Governor in shock.
They almost couldn't believe it!
"Wait! I am a Specter!" she suddenly shouted. "I can prove it! Just destroy my head again!"
The Heroes were shocked at the sudden change.
That sudden change happened because Nick transmitted something to her.
"Be suppressed in the city or be killed. Your choice."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
In confusion, the Heroes apprehended their former Governor.
It had rained Specters for the entire day.
After the first Demon was captured, the Governor suddenly vanished.
When Nick had seen that, he assumed she was a Specter.
He suspected that she was a Specter but couldn't be sure since she was a Mid Hero.
So, he launched an attack that a Barrier would be able to deal with.
Lo and behold, there was no Barrier.
'Quite a lucky find,' Nick thought. 'Seems like the Specters in the different cities are becoming more anxious.'
This was the ninth city Nick had paid a visit to, and judging by their reactions, they had already heard of this phenomenon.
A powerful Extractor who kept gifting Specters to cities.
'This is a good sign,' Nick thought. 'The more the Specters fear me, the more likely they are to make mistakes.'
Nick went to the next city, and he decided to watch it for a while.
He took special note of the Specialists and Heroes of the city.
Then, he started his rampage again.
'He's a human servant of the new Fallen working for War, but just like the other ones, he doesn't know anything about it.'
'He just hears its voice occasionally and follows the orders.'
BANG!
Nick punched the Specialist's head into a bloody pulp.
'Traitor!' he thought in hatred.
Nick left the hidden place and directly went to a Containment Unit.
He used his administrator rights as a special Agent and opened the employee entrance of the Containment Unit.
He walked in, killed the Specter, and walked back out.
This Specter had been a servant of the new Fallen.
If he had the possibility, Nick would have fed it to the Crimson Sea, but he didn't want to expose himself.
Not even he could override the alarm and delay that occurred when one opened the main door of a Containment Unit.
After dealing with the Specter, Nick returned to dealing with the remaining hidden Specters in the city.
Then, he dealt with the Specters in the surroundings.
By now, with all the cities he had visited in the last couple of days, Nick had uncovered over 200 Specters.
He dealt with every Specter inside the cities, but he only dealt with Adults and stronger when they were outside the city.
There were just way too many Hatchlings buried in the wilderness.
The world had so many Specters, but only a small portion of them ever managed to become Adolescents.
Almost all the Specters were born outside cities, and to become stronger, they needed normal humans and very weak Extractors.
But those only existed inside of cities, which meant that they had to enter the cities.
Yet, the cities were extremely fortified, and almost all Hatchlings would be noticed.
Because of that, 95% of Hatchlings just waited deep in the underground for things to change.
About 4% were stupid and just tried to enter the city before getting captured.
Only the last percent managed to actually enter a city and grow.
There were also a bunch of Hatchling Possession Specters buried deep underground, and those couldn't even move.
If Nick caught all of them, the cities would run out of Containment Units, and many Manufacturers would probably not even catch them. That would mean that the Hatchlings were either killed or ignored. ṟå????ȎbĘṦ
Both cases would be bad.
