Noir and I entered carefully. There was no one in sight, to our relief. But as we walked past the frosted glass partition, our eyes widened in shock at the sight.
Countless tubes trapping humans were lines in rows, horizontally and vertically. My gaze looked up at the highest rows, and my whole body couldn't help but shudder. It was horror. The higher the rows are, the younger the subject.
Kids sleeping, floating in liquid, unaware of all the tubes connected to their bodies.
"Wow. Your father's the greatest evil I know," Noir mumbled in disbelief.
I could hear suppressed anger in his tone, something he rarely showed. Even my body trembled, and I had a strong urge to smash those tubes and free everyone, so I had to calm myself down, lest we thwart the plan.
Suddenly, we heard footsteps approaching.
Noir and I hid behind the rows of human containers, while the puppet stayed, pretending like he was checking the monitor.
"What are you doing here?"
