However, this didn't stop Jason from seeing hundreds and thousands of hearts piled up here.
They had already cracked open.
Blood flowed out, gathering together, and tracing a slanted path toward the outside.
The dripping blood that Jason had seen earlier came from this source.
A group of pitch-black humanoid monsters were increasing the flow of blood, rushing from outside, holding hearts in their hands, and then, standing in the center of this room, began to 'pat' the hearts in their hands.
The slap, slap noise came from this action.
As they patted, the hearts began to beat.
From slow to violent.
Until—
Pop!
The heart burst open!
A shadowy figure crawled out from the split-open heart, shaking its body with force before growing into one of the pitch-black humanoid monsters Jason knew.
Then, these newly emerged monsters joined the ranks of the previous ones.
They flocked outward, and another group of monsters carrying hearts returned here to begin a new 'incubation.'
