Detective Grimshaw calmly drove back to the territory of his boss.He had a grin on his face that was unbothered by the bumping sounds and murmers emanating from the trunk of his bently.
As he neared the territory he felt his stamina and mana returning to him.The boss didn't know that when the mobs of the dungeon left the dungeon territory they would have limited stamina and mana and as such could only use their skills a limited number of times.
Needless to say Detective Grimshaw didn't tell his boss as he worried that Alfred would hesitate to send his monsters outside his territory.Usually hesitation was a death sentence for dungeon cores.
Detective Grimshaw observed that the roadblocks leading to the dungeon opened up for him.The personnel manning the roadblocks had unwilling expressions and gazes but still let him pass.
When Grimshaw reached the hotel he saw two people waiting for him.They were Maladus 17# and Gary 12#.They didn't look happy but they made no move to stop Grimshaw.
The surrounding personnel continued on with their duties but they kept an eye on Grimshaw.Gary 12# and Maladus 17# did nothing but watch as Grimshaw unsummoned his bently and took Evan Nokio into the hotel.
...
"I can't believe we let that happen" Gary 12# was furious with himself.He felt incompetent as he allowed the monster to disappear from his sight.
"It's all in the name of maintaining good relations with the dungeon.Also we need Jane 6# to control the education of the younger generations of the town and then control the older generations.That way we'll have a loyal bastion within the town as well as another recruitment centre." Maladus 17# tried to comfort Gary 12# but he was also likely doing it for himself.
Maladus 17# and his "Home Defenders" taskforce was here to create a new base but the safety and sanctity of that base had come into question.What was the point of him being here if monsters could leave and enter the dungeon whenever they wanted.
"We have to create countermeasures against the jesters teleportation and we should also probably bring in some flame based weaponry to counter that new insect monster.I'll add this new information to the archives you get a hold of the required technology while Jane 6# handles the town."
...
Alfred Winson was happy.He was the happiest he had ever been since he had been turned into a dungeon core.He had been depressed ever since he heard about what happened to his sister.
The only question was what to do with Evan Nokio.Alfred didn't want to kill him straight away.He wanted Evan to suffer excruciating pain before he died.How to do it though?
Alfred first asked Inbred King Vousch Augustus the boss of the second floor.
"Well King of Kings we do have a torture chamber in the castle if it so pleases you." Gurgled the inbred King as his spittle squirted out of his mouth.
Hmmm a good choice but he hadn't yet browsed all the options.Alfred then asked Doctor Silas.
"My lord I do in fact require test subjects for my experiments."Doctor Silas the boss of the first floor told Alfred.
"Will he suffer?"
"Yes"
...
Evan Nokio awoke to find himself strapped to a steel table.Needless to say he felt quite disturbed.Even more so when he heard the voice.
"Ah your finally awake then.That is splendid news.Now I can begin my experiments at a whim.You should feel honoured."
Evan Nokio looked to the side to see a tall lanky figure in a lab coat and gas mask.He also appeared to possess robotic hands.There were also tubes containing red liquid all over his body.The large cylindrical device on his back was also filled with that red liquid.
Evan attempted to rouse his magic into action in order to break free of his restraints but soon found it was futile.This left Evan confused.
"Clearly your curious as to why your magic doesn't work.Its the work of a special spectral mana draining leech that I have attached to the back of your neck.You can rest assured that your not the first sorcerer I have experimented on." Doctor Silas' eyes were positively brimming with vigor and excitement.
"Wait,wait whatever you want... I can give it to you.You want money right.I can give you money." Evan Nokios eyes widened in fear as the doctor drew closer with a syringe filled with a pink substance.
"Shhhhh a true doctor doesn't take money or bribes from his test subject/patient and my master simply insisted that I give you my full attention.Not to mention I have some new drugs,elixirs and operations I would like to test out on you.I'll turn you into a work of art."
Doctor Silas injected the pink substance into Evan Nokios adrenal gland.Evan's body convulsed as a grotesque pink colour emerged in his glands,veins and arteries.
"Ahhhhhh."
