He silently pushed open the door of one of the large rooms on the first floor.
The scene inside the room came into view, also with a black and white checkered floor.
A large chandelier was placed on the ceiling.
Mono suddenly noticed the pictures hanging on the wall.
Those seemed to be some X-ray images.
Some of them were of human skeletons, including X-ray images of the human skull, arms, palms, and the like.
However, one of them was quite eye-catching.
Because it seemed to be an X-ray of a doll.
From the image, one could clearly see a key-shaped object inside the doll's body.
Mono breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that in this part, there wasn't much difference from the game.
Now, he just had to find that doll, and he would be able to find the key to open the doors of the second-floor rooms.
Mono confirmed it was safe and pulled Six, slowly walking into the room.
"080" Before long, Mono stopped in front of a machine.
It was the medical machine capable of performing X-ray scans.
Mono continued walking inside.
There was another partition inside.
Inside the partition was a small, warmly decorated room.
In the corners on both sides, two small cabinets were placed.
The cabinets were filled with various plastic toys, cloth dolls, and figurines, some of which had fallen onto the floor.
In the center of the room, under the dim yet bright yellowish light, a small round table and two small wooden chairs were placed crookedly.
__There were some graffiti-like watercolor paintings on the surrounding walls that looked like they were drawn by children.
It seemed to be a playroom specifically for children's leisure.
The atmosphere was a world apart from the darkness and cold outside.
Of course, behind this warm room, Mono noticed some hidden oddities.
Among the graffiti hanging on the wall, another drawing of eyes appeared.
Moreover, next to the eyes, there was also a picture of a tall, thin figure wearing a black suit and a bowler hat.
Six suddenly gripped Mono's hand tightly.
"Mono..."
A slightly hurried voice came...
Mono was helpless.
It seemed his expectations for Six were still too high; Six still had a shadow in her heart regarding Mono, which couldn't be eliminated by just a word or two from him.
Mono patted her hand:
"Don't worry, it's just a painting. Wait here, I'll go take care of it for you."
Six hesitated for a moment and let go of his hand.
Mono silently stepped forward and entered the room.
Then with a jump, he directly took down the two pictures hanging on the wall depicting the eyes and the Tall, Thin Black Shadow.
Mono walked back to Six's side.
Six looked warily at the paintings in Mono's hand.
Seeing this, Mono couldn't be bothered to complain. Had Six turned back into a coward?
He said to her, "Take out your lighter."
"Mono... what are you going to do...?"
Little Six withdrew her wary gaze from Mono's hand and confusedly took out the lighter that Mono had given her from her bosom.
Mono grabbed it.
Then,
Click.
A spark flashed.
Little Six stared blankly at the patterned paper in Mono's hand as it slowly began to burn.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh?"
The firelight flickered with the airflow, appearing somewhat illusory...
Before long, everything dissipated, the flames vanished, and clouds of black ash slid down Mono's hand.
"Alright, stop staring, it's time to get to work."
