Pythagoras and Rachel began to try other doors to see if there were any
other rooms to explore. They found out that room S6, the operating room and
the washroom were all locked. The others had broken locks or jammed
handles.
Rachel looked at the gold ring Pythagoras gave to her. There was a small picture carved in the inner side of the ring. It looked like a rose but Rachel wasn't too sure.
"If there is nothing else, let's get back to the second floor", Pythagoras suggested. Rachel agreed.
The remains of the three Straight Jackets were still there. So did the blood stains. Rachel and Pythagoras split up and searched for unlock doors again. Rachel had found one. Pythagoras continued his search.
Rachel found out she entered the children's room. It looks like a place where patients aged 4 to 13 received their treatment. Beds had mattresses that were torn and worn out. Rachel suddenly heard a banging noise. She looked around and found a wooden cupboard at one corner of the room. She readied her shotgun and slowly approached the cupboard. The banging was getting louder as Rachel got nearer. She hoped it won't be like the safe on the third floor.
She gripped the handle and gave a fast pull to reveal a copper ring, nicely placed in the centre of the cupboard as if wanting and waiting for someone to find it. Rachel picked it and examined it. There was a small picture carved in the inner side of the ring. She gladly pockets the ring. That was when a Straight Jacket burst out of the cupboard, sending a piece of debris flying towards her head and hit her.
Rachel staggered backward and managed to maintain her foothold. Her head was bleeding and blood soon reached her 'eye'. She put her hand on her head and then checked it. There was blood. Rachel suddenly felt rage running through her. It was something she can't control. She gritted her teeth and eyed the Straight Jacket which seems to be cowering in fear. Rachel lost it.
She went straight up towards the Straight Jacket and used the butt of the shotgun to whack the Straight Jacket's head downwards. The moment the Straight Jacket 'bowed', she lowered the butt of the shotgun and whacked the Straight Jacket's head upwards. The force made the Straight Jacket fell back. It started to squirm. Rachel dropped the shotgun and went in front of the Straight Jacket. She took its head and placed it in her left arm. Using her right hand, she placed it on the Straight Jacket's head and twists its neck. A 'snap' was heard and Rachel released the Straight Jacket's lifeless body as it collapsed to the floor.
Rachel suddenly snapped out of her rage. She was the lifeless body and looked at her hands. Both were stained with blood. Rachel went down on her knees in disbelief and cried softly. Meanwhile, Pythagoras had found a room. He opened the door and was greeted with a whack from a steel pipe held by a Faceless Nurse in the room. There were two others. Both swiped their steel pipes and hit Pythagoras on his head. Pythagoras' head just swayed with each blow dealt to him.
After the Faceless Nurses stopped, Pythagoras stepped forward and closed the door. He dropped his wooden stake and spread both his arms out as if wanting to hug the Faceless Nurses. His hands slowly went to the back of his head. The Faceless Nurses just looked at what Pythagoras was doing. Two loud clicks were heard. The three Faceless Nurses seemed to sense danger. But it was too late for them.
A loud roar caught Rachel's attention. She looked up and tried to detect where the roar came from. She got up and picked her shotgun. Another roar was heard. An inhuman one. Rachel quickly walked out of the room she was it. The roar seems to come from the medicine room. She walked towards the door and placed her ear on it. There was silence. Rachel reached for the handle and opened the door wide.
The first thing she noticed was Pythagoras. He was adjusting his helmet, using both his hands to get it into its correct position. The second thing Rachel noticed was the room. The whole room looked was splashed with thick, red blood as if someone had brutally killed an ox in the room. The ceiling was also dripping with blood. Rachel also caught sight of three steel pipes, each bended and twisted.
Pythagoras smacked his head twice with his right hand. He caught sight of a dazed Rachel who was looking very frightened and confused.
"Don't ask and don't bother," Pythagoras said before gently shoving Rachel away from the room and closed the door.
He took Rachel's hand and put something on her palm. It was a key with a tag which said 'S6'.
The two demons went back to the third floor and arrived at rooms 'S6'. The key obediently unlocked the door. The door swing open to reveal a box with a combination lock placed on a bed. Both of them step in. Pythagoras found some writing on the wall. He quickly pointed out to Rachel. It read:
1) Fool's Day 2) Time of witching hour 3) Room number 4) Nurses in medicine room
The moment Pythagoras read it, he immediately said to Rachel, "You handle this."
"I'm sorry, but this has got me stumped", Rachel admitted.
"I know the last one. It's three", Pythagoras told her.
"How do you know?" Rachel asked.
"I have already said, don't ask," Pythagoras said, his eye narrowing.
Rachel turned the last number in the combination to '3'.
"Then the next must be '6' as they want the room number", Rachel exclaimed as she turned the third combination to '6'.
"Last two," Rachel said, half to herself, half to Pythagoras.
Pythagoras took the lock and shifted the first and the second combination to '1'. The lock clicked and it was opened.
"Can I ask now?" Rachel begged.
"Fool's day is April fool's day. That falls on the first of April whereas the witching hour is at one in the morning", Pythagoras explained.
"Looks like I'm not the smartest one after all", Rachel laughed.
She opened the box to reveal a magnet and a key with a tag. The tag read: 'Place to get hands cleaned'
This would probably mean the washroom on this level, Rachel thought. Both of them began to proceed to the washroom. Rachel insert the key and turned it, unlocking the door. She opened it to see a drain in the centre of the room. Rachel realized what the magnet was for. She took it and placed one end into the drain while holding on to the other. She felt the magnet caught something. Rachel fished it out to see her catch. It was yet another key with a tag which read: "Place where people mostly die."
"What a way to describe the Operating Room," Rachel said out loud.
"I wouldn't be too surprise to find many dead bodies there. If there are I hope to eat some. I haven't tried a human for a very long time", Pythagoras said.
They arrived at the Operating Room within a few seconds. The key unlocked the door and they both enter. They stood in the middle of the room. There was nothing but cabinets displaying medicine used during operations. The door suddenly slammed shut and there was sucking noises that seem to come from above them. Two steel caged containing what seems to look like a sack came sliding down from the gap between the wall and ceiling. The sack was clinging onto the ceiling vertically with its human like arm. Two black human feet suddenly appeared beside the lips which were below the sack. The lips made more sucking noises.
Rachel readied her shotgun. "What are these demons?" Rachel said in disgust.
Pythagoras thought for a while before saying, "Hangmen. Don't let the legs grab you. They will carry you towards their lips which will pull back and reveal their teeth. That will be the last thing you will see before they bite your head off."
"Pythagoras, this will be our first battle that we fight together. And are their tongues forked?" Rachel asked.
"No. Why?" Pythagoras answered.
Rachel turned and smiled at him. "I'm starting to get hungry."
Pythagoras just looked at her in disbelief.
Me cute? He thought sarcastically. I think you are cuter.
Rachel looked at the gold ring Pythagoras gave to her. There was a small picture carved in the inner side of the ring. It looked like a rose but Rachel wasn't too sure.
