The speed of these dolls was truly terrifying. Finally, Mono rushed to the door.
Bang! Then he stomped his foot.
His body leaped directly toward an opening in the large door.
A sudden gust of wind came from behind, but Mono didn't look back.
"Click—"
With a backhand move, the flashlight in his hand shone directly behind him.
The sound of the wind stopped instantly.
Finally, Mono jumped through the opening.
The surrounding environment suddenly became bright. "Clang, clang, clang!"
Scrape, scrape, scrape?
The moment Mono landed, countless long hands suddenly reached out from the opening.
However, after being hit by the bright light, they fell into a state of stasis. The sound of them hitting the door also vanished instantly.
Mono looked at the lamp hanging overhead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
These dolls were afraid of light; as long as he stayed within the range of a light source, he wouldn't be in any danger.
After panting silently for a while, Mono composed himself and started walking forward again.
After jumping out of the door's opening, he had arrived at another corridor.
Aside from a dim lamp installed at the door that barely emitted enough light to keep the dolls motionless, the rest of the corridor was still pitch black.
Mono walked toward the depths.
However, before he had gone very far, Mono stopped once more...
As the flashlight's beam swept across, the corridor ahead was completely visible, yet it was unexpectedly clean.
There wasn't a single doll on either side of the walkway?
This was truly too strange.
In these rooms and corridors filled with dolls, how abrupt and eerie was it for there to be no dolls?
Mono carefully examined the corridor before him once again.
As he looked, his gaze fell upon the rooms on both sides of the corridor.
These rooms were arranged very neatly, extending a long way.
The large iron gates of the rooms were all fitted with sturdy locks, as if to prevent people from entering, or perhaps, to prevent something from coming out.
On the heavy iron doors, there were many square windows used for observation and feeding.
With just a slight association, a scene flashed through Mono's mind that instantly gave him goosebumps.
Inside these rooms, the ones locked away were all dolls.
Countless dolls.
Mono held his flashlight and slowly walked forward.
Soon, he arrived outside the iron door of the first room.
Mono looked through the observation port on the iron door.
It was pitch black inside; he couldn't see anything.
But Mono did not let his guard down because of this.
He suddenly took a small step.
"Bang!" In the next moment, from behind the iron door and out of the observation port, several long arms suddenly lunged toward his position.
Although Mono had prepared and jumped away, he was still slightly startled.
The long arms were flailing, and the iron door emitted a series of loud bangs as if it couldn't withstand the heavy burden.
Mono didn't dare to linger; who knew what the quality of this iron door was?
If the wooden things inside the rooms all ran out and blocked the corridor, how would he get through?
Mono quickened his pace and ran toward the depths of the corridor.
As his figure swept past each door...
...countless man-eating long hands would reach out from within each doorway. Fortunately, Mono remained vigilant and ran only along the center of the corridor,
giving those long hands no chance to touch him.
Finally, when Mono successfully ran past the long corridor and suddenly looked back, all the rooms behind him were echoing with violent movements.
Arms flailed in the darkness, and the sound of grinding teeth drifted through the silence, forming two airtight walls of ghostly hands.
