Chapter 10 - Nightmare Agent In Action

A short while later, Dean stood in front of an unfinished building. He looked up at the top floor, where his map showed a dot.

[Ready?]

"Okay, start," Dean said.

"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a black, swirling hole opened in front of Dean. He stepped inside and came out into the Nightmare World, where the skeleton of the building looked terrifying. Blood stained the floor, and bloody handprints were on the support beams. The whole building was fenced off with barbed wire, and bloody bits of flesh were still stuck on the thorns.

"Okay, I'm going in," Dean said.

"Shing!" He pulled out his large scythe. Dean's outfit changed into a full black suit with a tie, black gloves, and a black long coat. His blue eyes turned red. Then he stepped inside.

"Graaaah!" Several horrifying zombies immediately came out from behind pillars to attack Dean. Casually, Dean swung his scythe, and several zombie heads instantly flew off. After reaching the stairs,

"I wonder why I have to fight these zombies every time we want to meet a client," Dean said.

[They are mindless evil spirits in the real world. Think of it as you cleaning up this abandoned building in the real world, right? In every house, building, shop, or any structure, evil spirits are always there. Some cause harm, and some just wander around. In the Nightmare World, they always appear as zombies or ghouls.]

"Haaah... okay, okay," Dean replied.

Dean went upstairs. There were many zombies wearing construction worker clothes, foreman outfits, school uniforms, gangster clothes, and many more. They also held weapons like large hammers, bricks, chains, and other things. As Dean went up, they turned to look at him and "Graaaaaah!" they immediately ran towards Dean. Of course, Dean didn't stop walking. With one hand, he destroyed the zombies that came at him.

"By the way, where do these destroyed spirits go after they're destroyed?" Dean asked.

[They go into nothingness or emptiness. Just like the human souls I destroy, they are considered to have never existed and are erased.]

"Hoo... so Alex too?" Dean asked.

[Of course... and the man you destroyed this morning too. Only their bodies remain.]

"Hmm... okay, got it. Good thing I used his body earlier to send letters to his victims and apologize before leaving him in that rental house," Dean said.

[You're too kind. I'm just surprised you took his organs.]

"Huh... of course I sold them! You don't give me money, and all I've been doing is reducing debt. I need money to live and for my family. Laila... ah... Mom's been alone since Victor left... ah, Dad died from a gunshot wound on duty a few years ago, right? Besides, I still have a younger sibling in junior high. Don't ask me why I take the organs." Dean vented.

[Ah... okay, suit yourself. I won't interfere with your job as a professional organ supplier.]

"Thanks, don't ask any more weird questions," Dean said, swinging his large scythe, destroying the zombie in front of him, and kept walking.

After climbing the stairs for a while, Dean finally reached the top floor, and the entire room became black and white, as if time had stopped. "Pop!" NS turned back into human form and walked beside Dean, using his cane. They saw a girl standing at the edge of the building, looking down. The girl wore a school uniform similar to Dean's, but it looked old and worn.

"Jenna Anderson?" Dean asked.

Jenna turned and faced them, but she didn't move. Her hair was very long and blonde. Her eyes stared blankly at Dean, and her mouth was slightly open, but she was very beautiful. Dean stepped forward and raised his hand. He placed it on Jenna's shoulder, and a hologram screen appeared in front of Dean. Before watching the footage, Dean glanced at Jenna's face to ask for permission to see her life story. Jenna turned to look at him. She shed a tear and smiled, then nodded. Dean smiled and looked at his screen.

Jenna had died 15 years ago, murdered in that abandoned building by a man named Raymond. At that time, Raymond was Jenna's classmate, known as a bully. He targeted Jenna because she was the smartest student in their year and was expected to get a scholarship for college after graduation.

Initially, Raymond tried to get close to Jenna, who was very beautiful and popular in their class, besides being smart. But Jenna rejected him, and he started bullying her cruelly, especially when he found out that Jenna's mother was in the hospital with cancer and Jenna worked after school to pay for her mother's treatment.

Using his father's position as the owner of the hospital where Jenna's mother was being treated, he pressured Jenna and forced her to become his girlfriend. Jenna couldn't refuse because Raymond threatened to stop her mother's treatment through his father's power. Although it wasn't really possible, Jenna didn't understand at the time and fell into Raymond's hands.

However, her mother eventually died five months later, and Jenna asked to break up with Raymond. That's when Raymond started to destroy Jenna a year later. She was drugged and raped by gang members Raymond paid, then thrown from the top of the building, which was under construction at the time.

The construction project stopped when Jenna's body was found lying below, shattered and unclothed, early in the morning. The gangsters who raped Jenna and threw her from the building were caught by the police and punished for their actions, but the mastermind behind it all was never caught because the gangsters didn't tell the police anything, and when they got out of prison, they were paid by Raymond.

After that, Dean and NS also saw what made Jenna's soul special. It turned out Jenna was the only child of a woman who abandoned her in a trash can, and her mother, who died of cancer, was a nurse who picked her up, raised her, and never married. She continued to care for her mother and studied relentlessly because she was determined to make her mother happy in the future, as she had no idea who her real parents were.

"Okay, I've seen it," Dean said.

Dean looked at Jenna's face, which now seemed to be pleading with him, though she said nothing. Dean smiled and held Jenna's head.

"Don't worry, your revenge will be carried out. I accept your request," Dean said.

"Whoosh!" A hologram screen appeared in front of Dean, showing the data of his revenge "target."

"Hohoho... nice. Let's go, NS. Please teleport me there," Dean said.

[Hohoho... you're starting to sound like me. Let's go.]

NS pressed his cane to Dean's arm. "Swish!" Both of them instantly vanished. "Whoosh!" A large red hologram screen appeared in front of Jenna's face, who looked confused and tilted her head.
