The two of them left the dark hall, walked through a long corridor, and finally arrived smoothly at the room where the fuse was placed.
Mono breathed a sigh of relief.
It really wasn't easy.
He had circled almost half the Hospital just to find a fuse.
However, before he could even steady himself, a strange odor wafted into his nose.
Mono turned his head to look at a corner nearby.
In the corner sat a dilapidated iron shelf.
The iron shelf was piled high with jars and bottles of all sizes.
And this foul, pungent stench was coming from these opened bottles.
Mono turned his gaze away again.
Only to see that the other wall was fitted with hooks, with various iron tools hanging from them.
Long curved iron bars, needle-like razors, serrated sharpening knives, barbed chains... and the like.
Moreover, many of these items were stained with a thin layer of a black substance, resembling paint or perhaps dried blood.
However, the smell of blood could no longer be detected.
"zero nine three" seemed to have been set up here for a long time.
Mono only took a glance before walking away.
He had seen too many such scenes in this city; he had long since grown accustomed to it.
This city was shrouded in pain and shadows; tragedies played out every day, no matter when or where.
He couldn't take it all in.
Besides, he himself was still in a predicament.
He would already be lucky if he could resolve his own issues, so how could he have the heart to sigh for other things?
Mono walked silently to the switch on the wall.
The switch was used to control the power to the electric chair.
Only by pulling the switch down could he safely remove the fuse connected to the electric chair from the wall.
"Little Six, move back a bit~" Mono said to Six.
Although Little Six had briefly "thrown a bit of a tantrum" due to a small misunderstanding, she had returned to her usual self under his comfort.
She nodded and ran to a spot not far from Mono.
She looked at Mono silently, then turned to scan the surroundings to ensure there was no danger.
Mono didn't dally; he jumped up and grabbed the switch on the wall.
Under the weight of his body, the switch was pulled downward.
"Click!"
A soft sound.
Then, the electric chair emitted bursts of current fluctuation sounds due to the sudden loss of power, and sparks flew everywhere.
Sizzle?
After a puff of green smoke rose from the electric chair, it went completely still. Mono looked up at the fuse on the wall.
"Little Six, come here quickly and get it down for me," he called out next. The fuse connected to the circuit was placed somewhat high on the wall. Six ran over silently and glanced in the direction Mono pointed. The fuse was plugged into a groove in the wall.
Thump?
With a leap, a yellow figure flashed by. "Snap?"
A small hand reached out, and in the next moment, she directly grabbed the fuse plugged into the wall. Then, with a surge of strength in her arms, her body flipped over, her little feet braced against the wall, her entire form forming a ninety-degree angle with the wall as she pulled hard.
"Crack!"
Six's figure and the fuse fell from mid-air.
Seeing this scene, Mono nodded inwardly. Six's movements were always so agile.
Just as he was thinking this, his eyes suddenly widened.
He saw that as Six fell, her hands were tightly clutching the fuse, with no intention of letting go.
Mono was startled.
How could she land steadily while holding such a large fuse?
"idiot, throw the fuse away~" he hastily shouted.
Hearing Mono's words, Little Six's figure paused.
However, after only a moment's hesitation, she tightened her grip again.
This fuse was something Mono had found with great difficulty; if it fell to the ground and... broke, he would definitely be very angry.
She knew Mono really needed this fuse; otherwise, he wouldn't have risked such great danger to come here and find it.
Allowing the sensation of weightlessness to take over, Little Six did not let go.
Until she fell completely.
Thud?
The expected pain of hitting the ground did not come.
