Chapter 324 - The Ark Of The Hallway Of Doors (1/2)

”Well that's a bummer,” said Gab, keeping the blood.

The doctor stirred in his sleep but was knocked out once more by Ysabeau's foot. With the silence between the two, they managed to close the box on the child and murmured a few prayers. As Ysabeau took a deep breath, she realized something familiar with the child's scent.

”That kid... I know that scent. I've just come across it recently, but I can't remember when or where,” said Ysabeau, her brows furrowing.

”What is your definition of 'recently? A few days ago or a few years ago?” asked Gab, though it was sounding like he was making fun of her age.

”A few days ago.”

Lost in her recent memories, Gab found a small, white stuffed dog. It was an actual plushie, to his relief. It had buŧŧon eyes and floppy limbs. Its ears were small and pointy. It was quite soft to the touch, reminded Gab of one of the dozens of plushies Mavislin owns.

He smiled gently at it and guessed that it might have been the child's belonging. Ysabeau caught sight of it and her face lit up.

”That buŧŧerfly! He had the same scent as that buŧŧerfly!”

”Mavislin and Bryan faced off with Rina a few hours ago. Let's keep this as proof first. We can tell her the truth,” instructed Gab as they both got out of the room.

They went down the hall, they halted at a narrow hallway full of doors. If each door would open to the same scene as what they encountered earlier, it would be such a pain to go through each room. But they had no choice, that was their mission. And so they went through the rooms.

To their surprise, not all of them were grim and dark. Some were empty, with small skeletons lying with their bones in chains. Okay, those were the grim rooms, but at least it was less painful than the live ones. The duo had to interrupt some 'experiments' and witness a child on the operating table.

This went for hours, even Ysabeau was beginning to tucker out. Gab was beyond tired, he had already ascended by the time they took out the doctors from the 27th room. Despite them going through so many rooms, they have yet to find a kid that they can save.
