The two retraced the path they came from, encountering those Doll Ghost-Hand Walls again along the way.
Fortunately, Six had the lighter in her hand, so they didn't face much of an obstacle.
Climbing out of the fence again, Mono finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
He was truly fed up with these dolls that usually stayed motionless but were deadly when they moved.
Facing these beings, he really had to stay at twelve-tenths alert.
And that was truly a painful and grueling experience.
If...
Right?
Taking one last look at the room behind him, Mono set off again.
Six silently started walking, clutching the fuse and following behind him.
They walked along the corridor outside the fence. Before long, they returned to the electric door where they had previously used one of the fuses to open the passage to the corridor.
Stepping through the doorway, Mono directly pulled out the fuse that had been used to open the electric door.
At this point, they had finally gathered both fuses.
Each carrying one, they headed toward the elevator leading to the Hospital basement. Shortly after, they were back at the elevator entrance.
"Plug it in, move slowly."
Mono said to Six.
Six's strength was too great; he was honestly afraid she would be too rough.
As he spoke, he moved quickly himself, holding the fuse and slowly inserting it into the slot. Six followed his lead, inserting her fuse into the other slot.
With both fuses inserted into the slots...
*Click!*
The light above the elevator door finally lit up.
Mono walked to the side of the elevator door and pulled down the elevator switch.
A slow sliding sound echoed as the elevator doors gradually opened.
Mono stepped onto the elevator, gave it a little jump, and then turned to Six who was still outside.
"Come on up~" The elevator feels reliable, there shouldn't be any problems.
Six stepped in with her bare feet and walked to his side. The elevator doors slowly closed, followed by a jolt.
*Rumble*
*Rumble*
Then, the sound of iron chains and mechanical friction came from outside the elevator car.
Mono felt a slight sense of weightlessness.
The light inside the elevator was a dim yellow.
Coupled with the dull rumbling, everything felt quiet.
It felt a bit oppressive.
The elevator kept descending.
Time passed second by second...
But it still hadn't stopped.
There were no indicators; he didn't know when it would stop... the Hospital basement seemed quite deep.
In the quiet environment, Mono's thoughts couldn't help but wander.
The Fat Doctor was active in the basement. Once the elevator stopped, it would likely be another difficult battle.
Although Mono already had a plan to deal with the doctor, thinking about what happened in the Doll Room and the various accidents before, he didn't feel at ease.
One mistake and it's game over. This was his life now. There was no room for error.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a soft, cool sensation on his hand.
Mono silently turned his head; Six was looking at him.
"Mono... don't be afraid, I will protect you..."
Her voice came softly.
Her cold, dark eyes showed no emotion, yet they seemed to offer a sense of security.
Wait a minute...
But Mono curled his lip.
What does Six mean? He's afraid? What a joke.
"Hmph, just be quiet. Just don't cause trouble for me later."
Mono said "annoyed."
While Six could be very reliable at times, she also often did things that "screwed people over." For instance, she had been known to daze out at life-or-death moments.
Because of that, he had ended up with scraped skin several times.
So, she was the one who really needed to worry about herself.
And now she was worrying about him?
Wasn't that unnecessary?
Although... she indeed just saved him once.
But that was just luck; it was definitely not his fault.
Besides, while Mono felt his luck was bad and his raw strength wasn't that high...
