Nighshift 23: Entry Room

While her commander opened the door into unchartered territory for her, she listened for his reaction, knowing he would see whatever was inside first.  In the meantime, her attention swept the wide hall behind them, not wanting to give up her guard prematurely.

He wasn't wasting any time, it seemed (though caution was never wasted time to her), and she followed him in, almost back-to-back with him. Trusting his reaction in place of her own, she didn't turn around until the door was shut in their wake.

Nothing jumped out at him as he stepped inside, nor did it feel like there was anything lurking in the shadows. Then again, the institute defied all logic, which meant that something could appear out of nowhere at any second.

It couldn't be this easy, could it? Something had to attack, in an attempt to keep them inside.

He cast a glance at the two files rooms. They could force the locks open and search for their folders, but he doubted there would be much of interest in them. At this point, he was eager to see what laid behind that door...

He crossed the room.

It didn't take long for Hisoka to reach the entrance of what must have been the entry room. It was easy to find, with it being directly across from the Sun Room. Yet regardless, Hisoka froze not even halfway inside, his hair on end. The other two occupants of the room were panicking, yelling despite there being no obvious trouble, but that's not what stopped the boy in his tracks...

It was the air, which was an odd thing to say, but even though his empathy was dulled and useless he still knew when something was happening.

And right then, the air reeked of Something.

Turning to the other two, Hisoka made a gesture with his free hand, wordlessly motioning for them to make as little noise as possible. If they could, the shinigami would have liked for them to be able to get by without mishap.

Once outside the room, Hisoka pressed himself against the wall in effort to remain unnoticed. Whatever it was that lurked in this room had obviously decided to start committing havoc again, if the sickening uneasiness was anything to go by. Hisoka didn't want to have to deal with whatever it was on top of waiting for Tsuzuki to get his ass out of the room.

Which he would.
