Chapter 106: Party Time (8) - Confession
Party Time Second Night
- Han Kain
When I came to myself, I was in a place that resembled a clean conference room. In the background was Ahri’s clear voice.
“The administrative target is ‘Dream Eater’. According to the records, it was first discovered in 1924 near London. Digging into the mind of the host, it stirs up their trauma and eats away at their body. Their favorite hosts are young, creative, and emotional humans. In order to eat ‘uninterrupted’, it creates physical avatars of the host’s trauma and spreads it nearby. While the surrounding people are fighting against the host’s realized trauma, the Dream Eater devours the body and the mind of the host to a point of no repair.
“The priority is to kill it on the spot. The method is by having an agent with superior conditions to the host sleep nearby. Soon, the Dream Eater would leave the body of the host and move over to the more appealing target. The agent would then starve the Dream Eater inside their mental world, and destroy it once the weakened Dream Eater leaves the body.”
“...”
“How was that? Did I sound like an agent?”
“Was that how agents do briefing in the Administration?”
“Yeah.”
