This was an electric chair: usually used for the severe interrogation and torture of prisoners. Why was an electric chair set up in this room?
Isn't this a Hospital?
Why would such a thing be here?
At a glance, the partitioned room looked more like a prison or a cage.
However, that wasn't what Mono noticed.
His gaze was drawn to a white object on the wall of the room. That was a... fuse! Mono moved closer.
He looked left and right.
The gaps in the bars were very small, making it impossible for his body to pass through. However, to the side, there was also an electric door.
But this electric door also required a fuse to open.
Yet the only fuse he had was already being used on the door that opened the corridor behind him.
Therefore, he had no way to enter the room directly from here.
Mono turned to look at the other side.
Those were the bars of the first room.
Unlike here, there was a square window in the center of the first room's bars.
Through that window, he could enter the area behind the bars.
But,
Mono silently looked at the red warning light hanging above the bars.
That glaring, bright color seemed to be sending a signal to anyone who approached—do not come near here!
Mono swallowed silently.
Actually, the moment he saw that motionless doll in the first room, he already knew what this place was.
Across the bars was the Doll Room from the game.
Inside were dolls placed one after another.
Unlike the piles of severed limbs he had encountered in the room with the moving hands, the dolls here were mostly fully assembled.
Mono took a deep breath and turned to look at Six:
"Little Six, I'm going in to get the fuse in a moment. You wait for me here."
Although he still felt an inexplicable sense of guilt and apprehension, Mono forced himself to calm down again.
He was human too, and he could feel fear, but what made him different from others was that he wouldn't stop his pace because of it.
Mono felt that this was one of his strengths.
But at the same time, it was also a weakness.
Because someone who 'doesn't know' fear is, to put it another way, commonly known as 'unafraid of death!'
People who are 'unafraid of death' are often the ones most likely to end up battered and bruised.
Because they don't flee from what they fear based on the inner dread they feel, they end up encountering the objects of their fear much sooner.
"Mono... I want to go with you..."
The pressure from the cold little hand grew a bit stronger.
Mono shook his head.
"Little Six, I have to go inside to get that fuse and throw it out to you. You need to help me plug it into the electric door of the bars, otherwise I won't be able to get out."
Wu Bei pointed to the bars of the second room and explained.
He had to jump through the window of the first room, take a long detour from behind, pass through the rear, and reach the second room to get the fuse.
If he took Little Six inside with him, no one would be guarding the outside of the bars.
Then, even if he got the fuse inside the bars, he wouldn't be able to
open the electric door of the second room to leave the barred area immediately; he would have to return the way he came.
Mono didn't want to pass through this dark space filled with countless dolls twice in such a short amount of time.
Doing it once was already enough to handle; twice would truly be the death of him.
"But..." Hearing Mono's explanation, Little Six hesitated, "Won't Mono be in danger..."
A rare look of worry appeared on her small face.
Even though she liked Mono very much, she had to admit that Mono's strength was very weak; he even had to use a weapon just to deal with a single hand.
What would happen if he encountered other things?
Little Six instinctively didn't want to leave Mono's side...
