“Almost there.” I was speaking as much to Miyoshi as to myself, as we carefully descended the staircase running alongside the basement floors. We could see the doors to the second floor once we were part way down, their glass panes illuminated by small, rectangular bracket lights blinking on and off along the stairwell. Now standing some distance away, we could even see inside.

The second basement level—I guess it would be easier to call it the second floor of the dungeon—was even more dimly lit than the first.

Beyond the doors, we could see something that resembled fluorescent lights flickering on and off. But far from providing illumination, they only served to further accentuate the dark.

“I can almost hear their buzzing,” I commented regarding the lights. “Are those part of the dungeon too? Dungeon fluorescents? It really doesn’t overlook anything.”

“The first floor’s emergency lights were indestructible, so these should be part of the same deal.”

“You’d think they’d have switched to LEDs...”

“LEDs flicker too. When there’s a malfunctioning rectifier or something.”

“‘Malfunctioning rectifier’? Sounds like a fire hazard.”

“Anyway, let’s take a closer look.”

“How close?” I whispered. “Those doors open up into the stairwell you know.” I didn’t like the thought of a bunch of monsters pouring out as soon as we took one more step.

“Don’t worry. I’m prepared.” Miyoshi pulled out a set of rubber mallets and wedge-shaped doorstops.

“One set of double doors. One stopper under each, huh?” I looked ahead at the imposing industrial entrance.

We didn’t know what would happen if we accidentally banged on the doors. We stayed low and crept along the ground until we were just in front of them, then put the wedges in place.

“Now!”

We both hammered our wedges in simultaneously.

A dull thud reverberated through the doors, followed by the sound of something thwacking into them from inside. The wedges groaned under the strain.

I looked up at the doors. What was waiting for me—

“Gwaah!”

—was like something straight out of a nightmare, clinging to the glass.

“That...is pretty disgusting,” Miyoshi mused, walking toward the two circular mouths suction-cupped to the door, each full of sharp teeth and measuring about thirty centimeters in diameter. “Are you sure you want to run tests on it?” She eyed me with suspicion where I lay toppled on the floor.

“No choice,” I sighed. I pushed myself up and dusted myself off. “It’s like I said earlier. Just one of these things appearing as a normal spawn could be a doomsday scenario.” I tapped on the glass right in front of those nightmare mouths. “Thankfully they spawned here first.”

“‘Thankfully’?”

“All we have to do to reach them is head straight down the stairs. We can even capture one with a little ingenuity...probably. And we can run experiments on them here in the dungeon, using the staircase area.” Had the cleaners spawned anywhere else, it would have been almost impossible to take time to run tests on them both in and outside of the dungeon. “Plus, apparently these guys are pretty weak individually.
