Mono lay quietly at the vent listening for a while, but he still felt a bit apprehensive. He had roughly recalled where this place was.
...
When playing the ga, he rembered that in the darkness of the Hospital, there seed to be many dolls that didn't move.
Usually, they were silent and still, but once soone approached, they ran faster than anyone.
Looking at the pitch-black darkness before him and thinking of the scenes in the ga, how could one not feel nervous?
His hearing wouldn't serve as a warning against these monster dolls that could pretend to be wooden.
If he jumped down, would a monster doll suddenly rush out from the darkness?
However, despite so worry, his strong ntal state allowed Mono to quickly recover from this brief hesitation.
"In the ga, these dolls seem to fear light. When they encounter light, they turn back into motionless puppets."
As the thought flashed through his mind, Mono felt a bit more at ease.
Then he slowly reached out and pulled the tool from his pants—a lighter.
It was exactly the sa lighter engraved with exquisite petals that he had found in the Hunter's Cabin last ti.
*Click!*
The flint sparked, and the lighter in his hand instantly lit up.
The warm light seed capable of dispelling all coldness and fear.
*Thud!*
*Clack?*
Mono jumped down from the duct opening, his body landing on the ground with a crisp sound.
Though faint, it sounded particularly piercing in this silent darkness.
Mono listened intently and turned his head to look around with the lighter.
There were no dolls around; it seed he could relax...
*Tap!*
"Ah—"
His back was suddenly bumped, giving Mono a jolt, and the lighter fell to the ground.
Looking back, he saw Six's small hand.
Mono:...
"Did you do that on purpose?"
Mono really wanted to ask Six.
But instead, he silently picked up the lighter from the floor.
Then he walked over, grabbed her hand, and placed the lighter in it.
"Hold onto it tightly. If you run into any monsters, rember to light it."
"Also, don't pat from behind. I hate it when people do that. If you do it again, watch out, I'll teach you a lesson..."
Mono said irritably.
"What are you looking at? Hold it tight. Let's go."
Ignoring Six, who was still staring with confused eyes, Mono silently turned and picked up the flashlight that had been dropped nearby.
This was much more useful than a lighter, providing plenty of light.
With the flashlight in hand, Mono no longer felt panicked.
Six silently opened her hand and looked at the lighter placed in it.
The lighter engraved with petals looked small and beautiful.
She silently tucked it into her bosom and started walking.
Because of the flashlight, he could at least see so things in this boundless darkness.
It looked exactly like a room. However, it was surrounded by airtight walls with no windows.
Inside the room, several rusty and worn-out iron beds were placed.
So old clothes lay on the floor.
Mono wandered around, and the light from his flashlight spread forward along the surroundings as he shone it.
But after only a few steps, Mono's hand stopped.
The light fell upon the wall of the room, and a pattern appeared before his eyes.
A giant eye was staring at them under the illumination of the light.
It was lifelike, as if it had co to life.
In this uninhabited, pitch-black darkness, anyone would feel creeped out by suddenly seeing such a realistic pair of giant eyes.
"Pah!"
Mono spat at the wall and silently turned his flashlight away.
Such eyes were everywhere, even in the Hospital; it seed there was no way to avoid them.
They were certainly still being watched by sothing unknown.
