Mono's speed was very fast; he didn't become sluggish despite the accident.
Before the dolls could pounce and tear him to shreds, he successfully climbed to the top of the cabinet.
However, even though Mono had climbed the cabinet, the dolls below did not stop their movements.
They still surged toward the cabinet.
Both sides were desperately fighting for what they wanted.
"Gurgle, gurgle~"
The massive iron cabinet was surrounded by them, shaking and vibrating uncontrollably as if it would be toppled by them at any moment.
Mono stood on top of the cabinet, crouching low to maintain his stability.
However, his expression was indeed not very good.
Even relying on the height of the cabinet, he still couldn't escape the wooden people's detection range for the living.
Boom!
Creak...
Just as he was thinking, a loud booming sound suddenly came from beneath his feet again.
Mono glanced down at the base of the cabinet and was startled.
He saw that the puppet with the scarlet maw he had seen earlier had already rushed to the edge of the cabinet. It bit down on the cabinet, tearing off a large piece of sheet metal.
The cabinet instantly sagged a short distance toward the side that had been bitten open.
Crunch!
Ripped?
After biting off a piece of iron, its movements didn't stop; it continued to open its large mouth and keep gnawing away.
"The hell? Are your teeth made of iron?"
Mono looked at the Giant-toothed Doll, feeling completely bewildered at this moment.
The cabinet shook violently again.
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before it lost its support.
"Damn it!"
Mono looked up again.
Now that he was trapped, where should he flee?
"Am I really going to die at the hands of these brainless dolls today?" Mono felt a wave of sorrow for no reason.
He had always prided himself on being brilliant, but now...
To him, this was an absolutely humiliating situation.
Mono thought back to the cause and couldn't help but turn his gaze to the flashlight in his hand.
This damn flashlight had been working perfectly fine before.
But why did it have to malfunction at such a critical moment?
Was his luck really that bad?
Was everything around him conspiring to make him perish in this sinister Nightmare World?
Time passed...
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Below, the massive, ear-grinding sound roared over.
With the help of the Giant-toothed Doll, the iron cabinet was finally bitten through.
The thin sheet metal could no longer withstand the weight of the massive iron cabinet.
The dark shadow slowly tilted, and a louder roar suddenly echoed further out from the darkness.
The cabinet...
Crashed to the ground...
And at that moment, the fallen cabinet was instantly... submerged by the frenzied dolls.
Pant, pant, pant...
Rapid footsteps echoed in the darkness.
A barefoot figure wearing a Yellow Raincoat was running forward.
She was holding a lighter.
The faint flame illuminated the surrounding darkness.
"Clack, clack, clack~"
The dolls spotted her and rushed toward her with hurried steps.
However, when they reached her side, their bodies were frozen by the light emitted from the flame of the lighter in her hand.
"Mono..."
"Mono..."
"mono..."
She didn't care, or rather, she didn't have time to care.
