"I'll need you to get in there."
"Why?"
"We're moving today. I know that you won't try to escape, but we don't want to show you off to everyone, and we also don't want to give other Manufacturers an opportunity to criticize us."
The Money Sink looked at the black cube with furrowed brows.
If she entered, she wouldn't be able to even stand up.
However, that didn't bother her a lot.
She just wanted to know why Nick suddenly wanted her to enter this black box.
"Fine," she said as she walked forward.
Nick opened the cube, and a white mist came out.
This cube was made for moving Specters, and it essentially worked like a portable Specter Cage.
The Money Sink went on all fours and crawled into the cube before she pulled her legs to her torso.
"It's just going to be about 15 minutes or so," Nick told her before he closed the cube.
After pressing a couple of buttons, the cube closed, and several lights and displays appeared on its side.
Then, Nick left the cube in the middle of the Containment Unit and left via the employee entrance.
He quickly went over to the console of the Containment Unit and pressed the release button.
A huge alarm rang throughout the building, and about a minute later, the wall of the Containment Unit opened, revealing the black cube in its middle.
"This okay?" Nick asked the person standing beside him.
"You may proceed," the red-haired woman said neutrally after inspecting the black cube.
This red-haired woman was a guard captain sent by the city, and she was an Expert whose job was to ensure that Dark Dream properly secured their Specters for the move.
"You don't need to be so uptight, Stacy," Julian said from beside her. "Even if something goes wrong, I'm here to take care of it."
Stacy chuckled. "I know, but I still have to do my job."
Nick went forward and lifted the black cube before walking towards the stairs.
Julian stayed at his current position, while Stacy followed after Nick.
When they reached the first floor, they saw most of Dark Dream's Extractors, who were just waiting for orders.
Nick and Stacy just ran past them while Nick still carried the black cube.
After leaving the building, they jumped down to the streets and ran towards the city's southern entrance.
The southern entrance had already been opened, waiting for Dark Dream.
Whenever a Manufacturer needed to move into the Inner City, basically the entire city adapted to them.
Transporting several Specters into the Inner City was risky.
The outside air was entering the lower layer of the Inner City, and the inhabitants were not happy about that.
But what could they do?
These were matters between the city and a big Manufacturer.
A big group of people had already gathered at the entrance of the Inner City, and they were all looking at Nick, who was still carrying the black cube.
They were filled with morbid curiosity.
They wanted to see a Specter, even though they knew that it was extremely dangerous to be here.
However, the guards of the Inner City had already been called to deal with the crowds, and several Johns were keeping the citizens at bay.
Nick and Stacy ran through the opened path for a while.
The two of them continued for over a kilometer until they finally stopped.
In front of them was the central pillar.
It was in the middle of the megastructure, and it acted as the biggest support for it.
The entire central pillar was made of materials found in the ruins below the city, and only Elders and stronger could damage it.
Surprisingly, the pillar was not completely solid throughout.
It had been constructed with a building inside of it in mind.
There were many rooms inside the pillar, and it acted as the walls of a big tower.
Originally, this was where the city's leadership resided.
After all, it was in the center of the city, and its walls were extremely sturdy.
But then, the different layers formed, and all the strong and important people moved toward the top of the megastructure.
So, the leadership of the city also moved towards the top, leaving this huge tower inside the pillar as an administration office for the lower layer.
Sadly, most of the rooms hadn't been used, and the few ones that were used were just filled with different documents.
Of course, the guards also stayed there occasionally, and some of the rooms had even been turned into party and leisure rooms.
The fact was that the building was just too big for a couple of guards and administrators.
On the other hand, the former building belonging to the Spartans was smaller and also acted as a makeshift entrance between the Inner and Outer Cities.
Not only would there be no wasted rooms, but the guards could also more easily get to the Outer City while also giving people from the Outer City easier access to the city's government.
With that move, they could also get rid of two of the city's administration outposts in the Outer City, moving everything to the new administration office inside the megastructure's walls.
So, all in all, the city and Dark Dream were happy with the relocation of the city's forces.
Nick looked at the couple of entrances leading into the pillar.
There were two small ones at the side and a huge gate in the center.
The two small ones were about 2.5 meters high and wide, while the big one was five meters high and nearly ten meters wide.
The huge gate was already open, and Dark Dream's guards were already standing beside it, keeping the normal people at bay.
Each floor of the pillar was nearly seven meters high, essentially transforming the entire building into a collection of halls instead of rooms.
And even though the building only had eight floors, due to the size of each floor, it was over double as high as Dark Dream's old building.
