No. 22 stared at him for a moment before finally stepping toward the entrance of the Time Maze, with the others close behind.
When he arrived before that river of moonlight, its bright glow clearly illuminated the enormous, grotesque stitched-together body. At the female corpse's chest cavity, a ruthless glint appeared in No. 22's eyes.
