Not long after, the locked door was finally opened.
Under the dim light, the two figures continued to walk forward silently. There was a path again, and Mono should have been happy, but he couldn't bring himself to smile. He even felt a bit "tormented."
Because his body was now emitting a faint, foul odor.
It was that rotting stench he had been trying so hard to avoid.
It was a stench a hundred times more unbearable than having someone shove dog excrement into your nose...
Damn that Six. How could her heart be so wicked? Mono silently glanced at the small yellow figure beside him. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch and stiffen.
Haha? Cute!!?
To hell with that!
He swore that if he ever pitied this Stinky Girl, Six, again, he would just slam himself to death with a block of tofu!!
Mono expressed strong, painful condemnation toward Six for hugging him just now. Faced with the "resentful" glares Mono threw her way from time to time, Little Six remained calm and composed. Who told Mono to be so annoying...
She had originally thought...
Carrying the stench, the two arrived in another unfamiliar Room 093. Upon seeing the layout of the room, Mono's face turned as pale as ash again.
There were many iron racks in the room, with cold, long objects lying on them.
It looked like they were drying cured meat.
They were also covered with White Cloth.
However, the smell still managed to drift out.
Compared to the morgue cabinet, these morgue racks, which were exposed to the air, made the smell
even more unbearable.
And the moment Little Six saw the scene before her, she couldn't help but turn to look
at Mono beside her.
Seeing Mono's face so stiff, a hint of hesitation flashed through her dark eyes.
After a moment of silence, she slightly raised her small hand and fumbled inside her clothes for a while. She took out a piece of white fabric and then walked over on her bare feet.
Uhh—
"Mono..."
She reached out and handed the White Cloth to Mono. Mono looked at the item in her hand in confusion.
Six explained, "You can tie it over your face... that way... it won't stink..." Hearing this, Mono looked at her suspiciously.
She was the culprit who had just "persecuted" him; would she really be so kind now?
Besides, this thing came from Six's person. Wouldn't it also be tainted with the smell of the morgue cabinet? If he tied it to his face, wouldn't he be knocked unconscious by the fumes?
Seeing Mono's hesitation, Little Six explained again:
"Mono... this doesn't stink..."
Hearing this, Mono looked at it suspiciously once more.
It was still a bit suspicious.
Despite his doubts, he still slowly reached out his hand.
The white fabric felt very soft to the touch.
Mono silently held it to his nose and sniffed.
It really didn't have a foul smell?
On the contrary, it carried a strange fragrance.
Though faint, it was definitely a fragrance, like a body scent.
Mono was only surprised for a moment. He didn't stand on ceremony and directly covered his nose with it, wrapping it around his head and tying a knot at the back.
He took a deep breath.
He felt much better now.
Because of this, the "hatred" in his heart toward Six lessened slightly.
Seeing Mono's actions, Little Six's face turned slightly red.
Of course, it was only a fleeting moment, and Mono didn't notice.
"Let's go!" Mono started walking again.
After a careful search, he finally found a vent in the corner.
Although Mono was wearing the face mask, he still instinctively didn't want to get close to those racks.
But if he wanted to reach the vent, he had to climb up.
So he had no choice but to keep his head down and climb.
With every level he climbed, he could see corpses lying on the racks.
It seemed the entire latter half of the basement was a morgue.
Although Mono felt disgusted, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
These corpses had clearly been here for a long time. Logically, they should have been cremated long ago.
So, why was the Doctor keeping so many corpses?
Could it be that creating dolls that could move still wasn't enough to satisfy his desires and needs?
But what use were corpses to him?
Thinking silently to himself, Mono's movements were not slow, and he quickly climbed to the top of the shelf.
It was very close to the vent here.
He didn't need much preparation; with just a leap, he successfully landed inside the ventilation duct entrance.
Six also jumped up after him.
U—f—H
Pi?
Mono crouched low and crawled forward.
Six followed closely.
After crawling forward along the twisting ventilation duct for about ten minutes, light appeared at the duct exit again.
Mono poked his head out and found that there was nothing in the room. However, through the other side of the door, a series of strange movements could be heard. Was someone there?
Mono instantly became alert.
Aside from the Fat Doctor, the puppets, and the moving hands, there was nothing else here that could make a sound.
However, no matter which of those three he encountered, it wouldn't be a good thing. Mono waited quietly for a few minutes, and only after making sure nothing unexpected would run into the room did he leap out.
Six followed right behind, jumping down to the floor.
Inside the room was a washstand, and beneath the dim electric light was a grey floor; everything appeared very monotonous.
However, Mono was indeed attracted by the tightly closed large door on the other side of the passage.
On the large door, several words were written crookedly: "Cremation Room."
Behind that door was where the incinerator was located? Mono felt a surge of joy in his heart.
He had finally found the location of the main thing needed to deal with the Fat Doctor.
Now, as long as he opened this door, he could begin executing his plan.
The door to the Cremation Room was also an electric door.
Mono turned his head to look at the fuse slot set next to the door; the fuse that should have been placed inside was nowhere to be seen.
So, did he have to go find a new usable fuse again? Mono felt a bit of a headache.
Finding keys and fuses to open doors had wasted almost half of his time on this journey.
He truly had no patience left for this.
But to open the door, he had no choice but to go find one.
Mono silently turned his head, scanning the room.
Not on the wall, not in the washstand, and the floor was even more empty.
There was no sign of a fuse in the room.
Mono had to turn his gaze toward the door on the left.
It seemed he could only go to the opposite side to look for it.
However, the faint sounds coming from over there still hadn't stopped.
