"Run quickly, the spider is coming."
The slender arms emerging from the sleeves of the blue kimono swayed eerily in the dark warehouse, as if boneless.
Toyama was terrified.
He didn't know what the "spider" referred to, but...
Run!
Escaping was the right choice.
Bang!
The flashlight flickered wildly as Toyama crashed through the warehouse door.
He dashed to the nearest stairway to the warehouse.
At this moment, he didn't even consider which way to get back to the first floor, whether it was through the stairwell, the mall's escalator, or the elevator; he simply ran towards whatever was nearest.
Just as he rushed into the stairway, Toyama heard a sound coming from below.
Step, step...
A very mechanical and noisy sound of footsteps was exceptionally clear in the narrow, dark stairwell.
Toyama pointed his flashlight downward, and in the passage below, surprisingly crowded with heads.
Many figures were walking upwards in an extremely distorted manner, heading towards him.
