♪ BGM: LABO Security Lv. 3

Taking into account the state of things, Salyu had to have run to either Area 1 or in the direction of Area 3. But they didn't know which way she'd gone.

We have no choice. Let's split up.
No! Going alone is way too dangerous after everything that's happened!
Then what should we--

Just as Ena said that, she and Watase heard a sound coming from far off.

We hear a security door opening and closing.

♪ BGM: Psychological Warfare

That sound was...!?
It came from this way! Let's go!

Watase and Ena ran towards the source of the sound: Area 1. On their way, they heard yet another noise--

Another security door opening.

There's no doubt about it! It came from the connecting passageway!

The two of them followed the sound as quickly as they could. They ran through the connecting passageway and entered Area 1--





Only to see red bloodstains scattered here and there.

(It's fresh... is it Salyu's blood!?)

The blood trail continued all the way to the stairwell.

Let's follow it!
Yeah!

Watase and Ena ran over to the stairwell.



But Salyu wasn't there.



...!?

--was a vinyl bag full of a red liquid. The bag's label read ''AB''.

Isn't this... a blood transfusion pack!?
What's something like that doing here!?

Watase and Ena stood there in confusion--



♪ BGM: Abyss

!?

Taken aback with surprise, Watase tried to open the door-- But he couldn't. It only budged a few millimeters, like something was propped against it.

Dammit, we got locked in!?
What is this, some kind of a trap...?
A trap!?

Watase looked around for an exit as he tried to recover from the shock. He quickly spotted something that caught his eye immediately.

Th-that's...!



A fire extinguisher...
Captain Kasasagi? Is something wrong about that fire extinguisher or something?
N-no...!

He didn't know why, but when he saw it... alarm bells went off in his head.

H-hold on a sec, Teach...!

Watase gently walked over to the extinguisher. He picked it up and examined it.

Wh-what are you doing...!?
I don't know... but I have a bad feeling about this.

He turned it upside down and checked it out-- Only to find what appeared to be soldering marks on the bottom.

...!

Watase picked up a piece of debris. He pushed it against the soldering marks and tried opening up the extinguisher. He succeeded in removing the bottom of the extinguisher—— and found something strange inside.

!!



A cord stuck out of what appeared to be a digital clock, wrapped around several cylindrical objects. He could tell from a glance that it was a time bomb.

Wha... what the hell!?
Why was there a bomb planted inside a fire extinguisher!?

Just as Watase finished voicing his shock,



numbers appeared on the digital display.

!?

A strange beeping sound began echoing through the stairwell.

The numbers are ticking down...!?
poo poo, I think it's been activated!

Watase knew for sure that the constant beeps coming from the timer were a countdown to their deaths.

(Was this what the one who trapped us in here was after!?)
Captain Kasasagi, isn't there any way you can defuse the thing!?
Defuse it!? Don't ask the impossible! I don't have those kinds of skills! Anyway, we need to get out of here ASAP!
But how're we supposed to do that!?

The staircase had crumbled, and the fire door was shut. It was just as Ena said: there was no way out. The bomb's timer was ticking down by the second. And then... the time between the beeps gradually grew shorter and shorter as if to fuel Watase and Ena's fear.

Dammit!

Watase body slammed the door out of desperation.

Open! Open up, you goddamn son of a bitch!

But it didn't budge an inch.

(Is this it!? Is this where it ends!?)

But just as Watase was about to give up...

Captain Kasasagi, out of the way!

Ena shouted that and took something out from under her clothes. That object, shining with a black luster, was none other than--



(A pistol!?)

Ena pulled the trigger as that wave of sheer disbelief hit Watase. The bullets successfully destroyed the door's hinges.

Smash the door down now! Hurry!
R-right!

Though Watase was still confused, he kicked the fire door with all his might.





A blue path, asking us about Ena, who sits at 4.

Go! There's no time!

Watase and Ena rushed into the hallway without a moment's delay.



(It's gonna blow!)

Watase shouted out to Ena as soon as he realized.

Teach, get down!

Right after the two of them proceeded to throw their bodies into the hallway-- --The beeping finally stopped.
