In the next moment, his eyes lit up.
Yes, how could he have forgotten this damn thing?
Without time for second thoughts, he quickly broke into a run, sprinting along the wall.
*Smack!*
Then with a jump, he directly grabbed and held onto the switch of the equipment controlling the oxygen supply.
*Click!*
Pulled by the heavy weight of his body, the switch inevitably flipped downward.
*Beep—*
Following the flipped switch, the electrocardiogram also emitted a sharp sound. The "patient" who had been constantly crying out on the bed began to shake even more violently.
To
Hearing this commotion, the doctor who had previously 'ignored Mono's calls' finally stopped in its tracks of its own accord.
It turned around. Upon seeing the previously beating electrocardiogram slowly flatten into a straight line, a sharp, urgent cry once again erupted from its throat.
It could no longer care about anything else.
It charged directly towards the hospital bed.
Mono released the switch he was holding and dropped to the floor.
Seeing the Fat Doctor charging in his direction, he once again began to run.
He moved to the side of the oxygen supply equipment and, before it could reach him,
yanked the oxygen tube out in one swift motion.
"Disgusting thing, wasting oxygen," Mono cursed. He had long been fed up with the incessant noise from these two deformed monsters.
It would be better if they died sooner, saving him the distress of listening to them. As for praying to God for salvation?
To hell with that!!
The moment after tearing out the oxygen tube, Mono's figure was enveloped by a shadow.
A massive arm reached straight down from above, aiming to grab him.
Mono, prepared, executed a standard roll, swiftly moving away from his original spot.
The Fat Doctor's grab met only air.
Not waiting for the Fat Doctor's next move, he pushed off with his feet and leaped forward again.
"Huff...
The doctor was now thoroughly enraged. It wanted to tear the little thing before it, who dared to ruin its work, to shreds.
But before it could act, another series of urgent, agonized gasps came from the bed.
The 'patient' whose oxygen tube Mono had pulled out was now in a state bordering on death.
The doctor's body jerked to a sudden stop.
It frantically turned its head back, climbed onto the 'patient's' head, and began clumsily trying to reattach the oxygen tube.
Seeing this, Mono felt a wave of relief.
He had guessed correctly. The doctor, just like its behavior in the game, cared deeply about this life form it had created.
Mono didn't waste this precious opportunity. He immediately rushed towards the door.
A small figure was lying prone on the ground.
Mono ran over.
"Little Six, are you okay?"
Mono quickly crouched down, supporting Six.
Six's hood had been pushed back. Her short hair was disheveled across her forehead. Her expression was, as always, devoid of any fluctuation, but her heavy breathing indicated she wasn't as fine as she appeared.
Although Mono had been truly furious moments ago, he was also genuinely concerned now.
He hadn't gone through all this trouble, all the way here, just for Six to die in this place.
He hadn't even collected his interest yet.
Six lifted her dark eyes and grabbed Mono's hand with her small one.
"Take it easy, I'll help you up..." Mono said hurriedly.
With Mono's support, Six slowly rose from the ground.
She shook her head and finally steadied herself.
Seeing that Six seemed to have only been stunned by the fall, Mono's worries subsided.
However, as he turned back, he heard Six, who had just regained her footing, suddenly say to him:
"Mono... I'm, I'm sorry..."
Mono was taken aback. Sorry?
Just as he had relaxed, he couldn't help but recall the earlier events. And thinking about how Six had foolishly pushed the door open, he felt... angry again. After getting him into such a mess, was a simple'sorry' enough? He absolutely wouldn't forgive Six so easily this time.
Although Mono really wanted to give the Stinky Girl in front of him a good scolding right then, the sounds coming from behind forced him to temporarily shelve that plan.
"Shut up. I'll deal with you later. Hurry, let's go!"
Mono started running, pulling her along as he dashed out the door.
Little Six had no time to say anything more. Holding his hand, she silently broke into a run, following closely behind.
The two of them entered the room outside the door once more.
"Where's the fuse?" Mono scanned the room.
"Over there."
Six pointed, her voice calm.
"Then go get it, quick!" Mono let go of her hand, his tone impatient.
Why did Six always act stupid at critical moments?
She was usually so capable.
It was truly frustrating.
Six's steps were swift. She immediately ran over with a clatter, scooping up the fuse that had been
dropped in the corner.
Thud!
Another violent roar erupted from the Intensive Care Unit, causing the entire space to tremble with agitation.
"Not good! Run!"
Mono urgently shouted.
The two of them charged towards the automatic door.
They hadn't run far...
The next moment, the door to the Intensive Care Unit was smashed open.
Dust and debris flew, a haze filled the air, and a massive, bloated figure
appeared.
Its breathing was ragged, its eyes blazing with fury and intense flames.
Those eyes, filled with nothing but killing intent, locked onto the two small figures still running on the ground below.
There were no more gasps coming from the Intensive Care Unit.
It was dead...
A life form on the verge of being born...
Its creation...
This drove it to madness...
Mono and his companion had reached the automatic door.
"Quickly!" Mono urged.
Before his words even faded, Six, already holding the fuse, jumped up.
"Click!"
With a soft sound, the fuse slid smoothly into its socket.
Mono immediately leaped up, grabbed the switch, and pulled it down.
"Clunk... clunk..."
The automatic door shuddered, then slowly began to open, revealing a narrow gap.
And from behind, the sound of pursuit was close.
"Go!"
Mono glanced back and saw the fat one had already climbed along the ceiling to a spot not far from them.
Its movements were still incredibly agile and swift.
Despite its stubby legs and bloated body, it moved with the speed and grace of a spider.
The two of them slipped through the automatic door.
"Run inside, don't stop!"
Mono yelled.
This was the Incineration Room. At the very back, there was an Incinerator. He needed to find it before the doctor caught them.
The room was filled with many shelves, most of them stacked with foul-smelling corpses.
These corpses, which should have been incinerated, had been preserved here. Mono cursed under his breath.
This terrain, filled with obstacles, posed a huge challenge for their small size, especially while being chased for their lives by the doctor.
Reaching the first rack blocking their path, Mono threw himself to the ground, using his forward momentum to slide through the narrow gap beneath the rack.
His trench coat tore a little in the process, and the friction made the area feel hot.
Six's figure followed right behind.
"Keep running!"
Mono didn't pause.
The Monster Doctor squeezed its way into the Incineration Room.
Seeing the two figures weaving between the shelves, it directly leaped onto the ceiling and began its pursuit.
These terrains barely hindered it at all.
The distance was closing at a visible speed.
It was visibly enraged, like a beast that had lost its mind, like a heavy train out of control.
"Damn it!"
Mono cursed under his breath.
If this continued, they would be caught before they even found the Incineration Room.
