The two of them walked down from the second floor to the hall and arrived at the large door in the corner.
Mono skillfully used a key to unlock the tightly sealed door.
He had opened this door several times over the past two days, so he was very familiar with it.
The two entered a corridor paved with ceramic tiles.
Once again, the familiar, noisy sounds, much like a bustling marketplace, echoed in their ears.
Mono pointed at the wall and said to Sam:
"We need to go through here; the Cafeteria is over there."
Six nodded to show she understood.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
Mono confirmed once more.
Although Six's performance was indeed somewhat freakish.
Mono still remembered how utterly exhausted she had looked before.
That was definitely something he would have a hard time forgetting.
So, could she really recover that fast?
Sam nodded and said expressionlessly, "I want to leave this place... with Mono."
Mono: "I hope so too..."
It was rare for Six to say something like that. Mono didn't know whether to be happy or, well, happy.
Leaning against the wall was the dining table Mono had pushed over earlier.
This place seemed untended, so the dining table looked no different than before.
On it still sat a tall stack of unwashed bowls and plates.
Mono went under the dining table and started climbing up along the metal leg pole.
As for Six, with one leap, she directly clung to the midpoint of the dining table, then with another scramble, she landed on top of the table, which was over a meter high.
Mono, who was hugging the metal pole, was stunned.
He then looked left and right and found he had only just left the ground by twenty centimeters.
Just as he was speechless,
"Mono..."
A call came from above, followed by a long tablecloth falling before him.
Mono looked up and saw Six leaning her head over, holding the other end of the tablecloth, saying to him, "Grab it..."
Mono grabbed the tablecloth and felt a pulling force.
Soon, he was pulled up to the top of the dining table.
Six extended her small hand and pulled him up.
Mono felt a sense of loss.
Now there was no need to doubt it; Six had recovered very well.
Moreover, even with one hand still injured, she could still... utterly outmatch him!!!
Clearly, this was a good thing, so why did he always feel sad?
Mono silently extended his pinky finger towards his own cheat system.
Anyway, this was definitely not his fault.
The two continued climbing and smoothly reached the vent on the wall.
It was no different from before.
Looking through it to the other side, those savage Ceramic Figurines were still making a racket there.
And it seemed to be getting worse.
Mono could see some Ceramic Figurines throwing dough and food, some having their arms twisted off, some being pressed into water vats, and some continuously using their lower limbs to perform repetitive motions on some strange objects.
The area was in complete chaos.
They had turned the school Cafeteria into a complete mess.
"Let's go down."
Mono whispered to Six.
At the moment, the Kitchen compartment contained nothing but scattered ceramic shards on the floor; there were no other Ceramic Figurines.
The two jumped onto the cabinet below, slid down along the shelves, and landed safely on the ground.
"Wait~"
Mono suddenly stopped Six.
He then walked over to a cabinet.
Opening the cabinet, he took out something he had hidden there earlier—two Ceramic Figurine heads.
Or rather, head covers.
"Put this over your head." Mono handed the head with Twin Ponytails to Six.
He had already tested it the day before yesterday.
These head covers worked just like in the game; they could be used to deceive the Ceramic Figurines in the Cafeteria.
As long as they wore them on their heads, they wouldn't have to worry about being attacked.
Six took the head, puzzled.
The delicate ceramic head had a smiling face painted on it, very stiff, with hollowed-out eyes and colored glaze applied.
If one ignored the creepy expression, it was indeed a rare piece of art.
Of course, if heads could be collected, it would certainly have some value.
"Stop looking, let's hurry up."
Mono had already put on his head cover and walked to the exit of the compartment.
Six slowly placed the Ceramic Figurine head cover over her own head.
There was no peculiar smell inside.
She silently came to Mono's side.
Mono glanced at Six. "It" had rosy cheeks, Twin Ponytails, a chubby face wearing a smile, just like a clown in a circus.
Six also looked at Mono.
"It" had a swollen head, cracked skin, center-parted hair, deeply sunken eyes, and a jovial expression on its face, like the Maitreya Buddha.
Both of them now had huge heads, which looked rather comical.
"Pfft~"
Mono couldn't help but laugh.
Six's expression under the mask also twitched slightly.
"Ahem~ Alright, we need to go. Are you ready? Stay calm later, and don't give anything away."
Mono took a deep breath and said.
This was no joke; he couldn't laugh.
Six nodded silently.
Seeing her nodding head, the corner of Mono's mouth twitched again uncontrollably.
Indeed, a smiling "Six" was quite special.
