Six holding the rabbit was very cute, but...
Watching the process of the rabbit doll gradually deflating as Six emptied the cotton stuffing from its body was unexpectedly... harmonious.
Mono successfully found the key from inside the rabbit doll.
"Alright, let's go."
Hanging the key around his neck, Mono waved his hand and headed toward the second floor.
Six threw away the rabbit doll, which was now a wreck, and followed behind Mono.
The two of them climbed back to the door of the second-floor room.
As the key was inserted into the keyhole, a door in one direction slowly opened.
Mono poked his head in and looked inside the room, but he swallowed hard.
Inside the room, it was pitch black.
Standing at the entrance, he could see some objects within a few meters of the perimeter through the light emanating from the side.
Looking up at the ceiling beams of the room, he saw countless prosthetic limbs hanging there.
The prosthetic limbs stretched forward densely, with no end in sight; combined with the equally endless darkness, it was terrifying to the extreme.
Mono grabbed Six's hand to give himself some comfort, then took out his flashlight and turned it on.
The two of them slowly walked into the room.
The flashlight's beam swept across the floor, revealing many prosthetic limbs scattered there as well.
Passing through a door on the other side of the room, they arrived at a corridor warehouse.
On both sides, tall and long iron shelves were placed, also piled high with various doll models and prosthetic limbs.
At the end of the warehouse was a window leading to an inner room.
"Six, throw me up."
Because he had to hold the flashlight, it wasn't convenient for Mono to use his hands.
The two of them arrived directly below the window.
Mono only felt a small hand land on him, then his body experienced a moment of weightlessness before he landed directly on the windowsill.
Six was as reliable as ever.
Without time to think, Mono steadied himself and, holding the flashlight, watched the movements on the other side of the window alertly.
There was no movement.
Six also jumped up.
"Be careful~ Don't get too close to those things," Mono whispered, pointing to the countless dolls arranged in the room on the other side of the window.
There were dolls everywhere here; he couldn't tell at all which one would move.
This forced him to be extremely cautious.
At this moment, Mono actually missed the Ceramic Figurines.
Although they were a bit mischievous, at least they always made some noise, letting him know where they were.
But the dolls here... it was impossible to tell which one would move; it was truly a headache.
Hearing this, Six nodded silently, indicating she understood.
Mono turned around, jumped down from the window, and landed in the room.
After walking in the spacious room for a while, a light suddenly appeared ahead.
In the middle of the room's main hall, a high platform appeared before their eyes.
On the platform lay a doll without a head or legs.
Its arms and body were tightly bound to the platform by several sturdy cable ties.
The doll looked like it was being assembled, but the assembly had stopped halfway for some reason.
And it was tied up to prevent it from moving?
Mono looked warily at the fake doll on the platform.
This doll was truly too suspicious.
However, he didn't stop his pace; they had to find the fuse.
As they passed by, the doll on the platform didn't move. However, once Mono passed it, a sudden sound of wind came from behind him.
Mono's ears twitched, and his movements were not slow either, directly pulling Six's
body down to crouch against the ground.
Something flew over their heads.
What was ambushing them?
If he had been a bit slower just now, he might have been hit. Mono hurriedly directed the light over.
In the next moment, the figure of the incoming object was fully reflected in Mono's eyes. He saw a single hand, flailing about and blocking their path forward.
It was just a hand—no body, no head, nothing but an adult's hand.
It was just like that monstrous
hand in the basement of *Sixty Million Dollar Man* that could crawl everywhere; if an ordinary person saw such a hand moving before their eyes, they would surely be
scared unconscious.
Mono glanced back again, only to see that the palms on the body of the doll tied to the platform were gone.
The hand in front of them had broken free from the doll's body to ambush them?
Mono's lips twitched.
Luckily he was prepared; otherwise, he would have been blindsided.
He hated being ambushed the most, let alone when the opponent was just an ugly, giant hand,
right?
"Six, step back a bit and watch the surroundings; I'll deal with it." Mono said slowly, not particularly surprised as he had anticipated this. If it were a complete doll, he might have had to run. But since it was just a hand, Mono wasn't panicked at all.
Six obediently stood to the side.
