Power Station—Dream-Entering Room
Deputy Director Kimberly Cabrera suddenly sat up in the tank room and leaned over the edge of the vat, vomiting violently.
Everything he vomited was mechanical crude oil, mixed with a large number of severed Octopus Tentacles. Some of the tentacles even resembled female bodies.
Although he had been killed in the dream, in a sense, Kimberly had realized that defeat was inevitable and voluntarily cut off the power supply to his brain when the nightmare invaded it.
More than fifty percent of Kimberly's brain had been modified, which was fully enough to allow him to exit the dream on his own.
It was also during his vomiting that several employees belonging to Kimberly and working on cybernetic bodies tried to come in and help.
Kimberly endured his discomfort and raised a hand, signaling for them to stay outside. After all, the Nightmare Substance he had vomited could spread. He also exchanged a glance with the director, communicating simple information through electrical currents flickering between their eyes.
Kimberly would complete a self-check in the Dream-Entering Room while also checking on the other team members.
His metal body quickly repaired itself under the support of his clothing. He also discovered that the silver main brain immersed in the central container had withered, indicating that MacGuffin was dead and that his teammates were independently trapped in dreams.
Just then, a commotion came from the liquid tank beside him.
Romary Tahan, the deputy captain of the Purification Force, also broke free from the dream, but something was seriously wrong with her condition.
She had fallen into full-body convulsions the moment she woke. Blood began to seep from her seven orifices, and her body twisted into an exaggerated posture, as if some kind of threads had pierced through her entire body
