Looking around, the building's rooftop was covered with overlapping tiles, made slippery by the rain.
Standing in place, Mono could no longer see any televisions with the naked eye.
"Let's go..."
Reluctantly, they could only move forward along the tiled eaves.
ooo
Although transmission was possible as long as both televisions were on, even without a visible target, Mono didn't dare to gamble.
Because if he blindly chose the wrong signal and got transmitted to some strange place, it would absolutely be a fatal matter for him...
And when there were still other options available, Mono wouldn't risk betting on whether his luck was good or bad.
"Mono... over there..."
They hadn't walked far when Six pointed towards a distant window.
Mono squinted. Under the dim, yellowish window, a faint light glimmered, and he could barely make out flickering shadows.
Approaching the window, the scene inside became clearly visible.
A figure dressed in a Black Suit and Black Trousers stood motionless inside the room, facing the television.
Mono silently lowered his head to look at the tightly closed window glass.
There were some black scratches on the glass, resembling claw marks.
And in a corner beside the window, a slightly tattered White Cloth stained with blood hung.
Two hollowed-out holes were cut into the White Cloth, making it look like a... ghost.
Beneath the White Cloth lay a pile of bones.
It was the skeletal frame of a rat.
"Little Six... come here, help." Mono withdrew his gaze and said to Six.
It seemed a tragedy had occurred here before.
But for Mono, this wasn't important.
Placing both hands on the window, Six also applied force.
"Creak...?"
The window slowly slid upward.
The black-suited figure inside the room still stood dumbly in front of the TV, unmoving.
Mono stepped forward and jumped down from the windowsill.
Little Six also jumped down.
Mono looked around once more.
The entire room wasn't very large. Several cabinets were haphazardly placed; aside from the sofa and table in the room, there was nothing else.
There were no other televisions around.
"Let's go, over there..."
Mono noticed another door to the side.
Moving cautiously, he slowly opened the door; what met his eyes was a dim hall.
Inside the hall, white light was also emanating.
A woman with wavy hair was standing there with her back turned. People in both front and back?
Mono stood at the doorway, took out the remote, and then pressed it directly towards the hall.
Invisible ultraviolet rays flashed, and in the next moment, the hall fell completely into dark-
-ness.
The woman with wavy hair also became "terrified," starting to howl and moan. Then, turning her head and seeing the light coming from the room, she suddenly broke into a run, charging toward the room.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
The hurried sound of footsteps sounded so rushed.
In just a flicker, she had already crossed the doorway.
Then she rushed straight toward the flickering television in front of the man in the suit. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mono pulled Six out from behind the door where they were hiding.
Looking at the woman running into the room, Mono breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he had the remote in hand, dealing with these people who had no reason to speak of didn't require much effort.
He watched silently.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, a loud noise suddenly came from inside the room.
The smile on Mono's face couldn't help but... freeze.
He saw that the wavy-haired woman who had been charging frantically into the room didn't stop after reaching the television; she went head-first and slammed her head right into the TV.
And the television, unable to bear the burden, directly... exploded in smoke.
The flickering light vanished instantly, and the room was plunged into darkness.
"Let's go!"
Mono quickly grabbed the doorframe and slammed the door shut.
Immediately after, a series of wails came from inside the room.
Mono curled his lip.
You smashed the TV yourself, so what the hell are you crying about?
Besides, for such a big person, would it kill you to watch a little less TV?
Are adults really such unreasonable creatures...
After a silent complaint, Mono pulled Six toward the living room.
Water continued to seep down from the ceiling panels, making the floor damp and smelling of mold.
"Little Six, help me look quickly. See if there's a knife or an iron rod or some kind of tool."
Mono didn't intend to let the well-dressed man and woman in the room off. Six nodded and started rummaging through chests and cupboards again. After the two small figures searched for a while... Little Six walked back silently, spread her hands, and whispered: "mono...
Didn't find anything..."
"That makes things difficult..."
Mono touched the remote, his eyes suddenly falling on the television in the hall, but then he froze.
"Little Six, go move that wooden box over there..."
Mono immediately said to Six again.
Little Six was somewhat confused, but she still did as Mono said. Because the wooden box was placed on a shelf, it hadn't been dampened by the rain.
Mono directed Six to place the box next to the television. Then, he leaped up onto the box.
"Stay back..." Mono turned his head and said again, while gripping the television's power cable with his hand.
Although Little Six was still confused, she obediently stepped back a few paces. Mono no longer hesitated.
"Hah!"
Rip!
The television cable was pulled apart directly, a burst of sparks flickering at the break, making a sharp, sizzling sound.
The sizzling continued.
Mono gripped the cable tightly and looked back again:
"Little Six, open the door..." Open the door?
Aren't there still people inside?
Little Six gave Mono a hesitant look but still turned silently and walked to the door.
At this moment, through the door panel, the constant howling could still be heard.
Stepping with her small feet, she grabbed the doorknob. Driven by gravity, with a soft "click," the door slowly swung open.
The commotion inside the large room also suddenly went silent as the door opened.
Then, two heavy and stiff footsteps, like machinery, came "clack, clack, clack" toward the yellow figure still standing by the doorframe.
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
A man and a woman, faceless and featureless, yet their movements felt unexpectedly ferocious.
They lunged forward.
Having lost the light of the television, they wanted to find new solace to release the violent emotions in their hearts.
And the scent of a human, in such an environment, was the most attractive thing.
Seeing the two adults rushing over while Little Six was still just staring blankly, Mono couldn't help but shout:
"idiot! Stop looking and get over here quickly!"
