Passage

Jay walked alone down the passage to the right, silently contemplating, wondering how passionate the helvetians must have been for revenge, to even give up their own lives and become abominable monsters.

He still had his skeletons with him, but technically he was alone. It was a little darker without Anya’s brighter luminous orb.

He crossed another ring of crystals, and it turned yellow as he passed through.

The scanners only meant one thing.

“Mm, thought so. Must be another laboratory down here…”

Jay proceeded down to the gate, finding another heavy iron bar. He got the four skeletons to lift it once more.

Apparently, the living were prevented from opening it as it heated up and stopped moving whenever Jay touched it - even when he was too close it wouldn’t budge, causing him to step back further.

*Clung!~~*

The heavy bar dropped, and the skeletons pulled the door open.
