I open the door a bit, but I only find darkness. I can see another door leading to the next room, but without a source of light, I won't be able to make out anything more.

>>228652
Wait, the side facing the camera in the previous room... is that rubble? It looks like there's some long poles in there you could use for obtaining keys and pressing that keypad elsewhere in the hall.

Yes, there is a large blockade made out of some big chunks of rubble. But it's all wedged and pretty heavy. I don't think that I am able to free a pole out of the pile.

>>228693
Are the planks too heavy to lug around? Hmmm, we need a light source of some kind...

Well, we just found out, that I possess superhuman strenght and possibly a wide variety of other helpful powers, so I can of course easily lift the plank.

>>228742
Should be able to get the other key with that, then.

After we get the key, let's... uh... I guess we should try opening this other door.

The last door doesn't have a regular lock. It has some kind of number lock.

>>228778
Now armed with a multitude of keys and a wooden plank, I think you are ready to brave the darkness once more. Back into the rat-infested labyrinth with ye! Run in with the plank swinging, and you will surely make it through to the room you were in before. We have a door to unlock.

>>228778
I'm thinking we use the plank to tap at the floor in the dark room to make sure we don't step on anything dangerous.

>>228778
There's only 6,561 combinations. Get to it!

I guess I have no choice but to return to the rat hive. Armed we now may stand a chance.

But before I go back, I use the plank to pass through the dark room, tapping the floor to search for potential obstacels.

I enter a huge hall and am overwhelmed by the stench of blood. I turn around to gasp fresh air and to maybe catch a glimpse of that smile you saw.

But the dark room is empty.

You must be seeing things. But I can't blame you. I thought too, that I heared somebody a moment ago. All this stress just isn't good for us.

And I was so looking forward to finally seeing a smile after this long time of loneliness

>>229215
Well, there is a smile on that wall there.

Is there anything interesting in the cages?

Keeping my distance, I face the cage with the living inhabitant.

"Hello."

The creature withdraws even further back into the shadows. I can't see whether it's dangerous or not, but it's only slightly bigger than I am.

grab that key on the ground and hold it up to the cage, see if it recognizes the key.

Don't be alarmed if it jumps out and gives you hugs.

The other cage contains a rotting corpse wearing the faculties uniform. It is missing its head.

I find some coins, a couple of paperclips, a badge identifying the corpse as "K. Miller - lab assistant" and a flashlight, which is a bit dented at its side and has some small fractures at its glas, but appears to be still working.

>>229244
Awesome; we can go find the smile in the darkness.

But g'wan. Unlock that cage first---after all, you were imprisoned here unfairly by nefarious forces!

Well, I guess you're right. I shouldn't let whoever is imprisoned here die in the clutches of an evil mastermind. I open the cage.
[animated]

it's some kind of dog man. it probably fears your mask because it kinda looks like a skull. tell it that you mean no harm, you were imprisoned here as well.

>>229250
Aww, it's adorable. Tell it you don't mean any harm. Ask if it saw someone that looked like you before.

You're like two feet tall. Use this opportunity to approach the figure menacingly hands raised overhead. Once they realize your diminutive stature, they'll probably find it incredibly hilarious.

...ask if she catches rats.

The creature seems to be a girl and indeed some kind of mix between dog and human. She must be pretty terrified of me.
I guess I look a bit menacing for the unprepared observer. This intiminating physique is a natural side effect of my daily battle with demonic rats and various other devils and the mask doesn't help.

"Don't worry. I don't want to harm you. I was a prisoner here as well."

Slowly entering the cage, I raise my hands to show my good will and approach her.

[animated]

throw us over to her, we are small and therefore un-intimidating.

>>229274

Aww, go give her a big hug.

>>229274
Okay, I don't think she can understand what you're saying. Maybe we should just step away from the door so she knows we're not gonna attack her.

I would suggest against approaching the scared shitless cornered animal-person.

"Maybe you'd prefer to talk to my little friend?"

I don't think this is working. I step away from the door, so that she at least doesn't feel cornered any more.

Follow her at a distance. She might get into trouble!

follow after her though. dangerous rat beasts everywhere after-all.

It's dangerous to run out there alone. We have to follow and protect her. It's my duty as a hero.

I have to admit, that she is pretty fast though. There aren't a lot of things that can outrun my battletrained legs.

While I run past the rows of empty cages, I hear screams from the hallway and quicken my pace. Shocked I enter the room. Am I too late?

>>229362

Check if that is her!

enter the door. it's the other guy in the mask you saw on the monitor.

I jump back into the rat hive and start running into a random direction, hoping fortuna is by my side so that I find my way back to the kitchen. I hear the creature ripping through the small hole and coming after me.

JUMP?

Seriously, run before it squeezes through.

Guys, do we have a plan for when this thing gets to the other side?

My plan was stick our dick in it and hope it's allergic. But I'm open to suggestions.

>>229401
Not die? God I have no idea how to stop this thing...shine light in its face to temporarily blind it?

we need our stick and the pot. defend against it's attacks and then counter. maybe chug more food to get a boost.

I don't know when I took the wrong turn, but this is a dead end. The only way out is a vent just out of reach and I cannot turn back with the creature behind me.
I hear it slowly coming closer.

get out the flash light. wait for you to see it's face then turn it on and blind it.

Use FLASHLIGHT on SHADOW-CREATURE.

I try to run away, but the creature grabs me and lifts me up. A humanoid figure emerges from the shadows, but it seems as if a bit darkness still sticks att its body. I can now see directly into those two big soulless eyes and semiconsciously notice how it readys its claws for the final slash.
