The long-necked monster before them was merely toying with life, not conducting academic research.
Why was it doing this?
Mono didn't know.
He also didn't understand the monster's inner thoughts.
Like the Hunter, perhaps the Neck Person Teacher was also just following its instincts, or perhaps it no longer had any thoughts.
They both caused immense suffering and torment to other lives, yet remained completely unaware, even enjoying it.
The Neck Person Teacher turned around again.
Mono remained silent.
Six leaned against him.
"Tap~ tap~ tap~"
The Neck Person Teacher turned and walked over to a large blackboard mounted on the wall.
"Click clack~"
Holding chalk, it seemed to be recording something.
Mono had no interest in watching any further.
He also didn't want to stay any longer in this room filled with various organs and a foul stench.
He gestured with his hand, and Six nodded.
The two slowly crouched down and moved along the other side of the long Table.
Soon, they reached the other end.
And the window was right in front of them.
"Mo...no... jump over first."
Six, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
Mono glanced at her.
Six still wore a calm and composed expression; Mono couldn't read her emotions.
Could it be that Six was concerned about him?
This feeling...
Mono's sense of nausea vanished, and he was just about to reply.
But Six suddenly whispered again, "Mono runs slowly; I don't want what happened last time to occur again."
The 'last time' referred to when he was chased and bitten by Neck Person Teacher.
Mono choked up.
He silently shot a glance at Six.
This time, it was Mono's turn to remain silent.
As expected, pleasant conversation was impossible. Would it kill her to explain one less sentence?
Ah? Would it?
Mono nodded, then turned his head to glance at Neck Person Teacher in the distance.
The teacher was still busy with the work in hand, unaware of their presence.
Mono also had no reason to hesitate anymore.
He wasn't worried about any problems arising with Six covering the rear.
Worrying about her was less productive than worrying about himself.
Mono took a few steps back, then leaped forward.
His trench coat traced a long arc in the air.
*Thud~*
His feet landed; Mono successfully jumped onto the windowsill.
Before he could look back.
*Thud~*
The next moment, another figure appeared beside him.
Six had also jumped up.
Silently glancing at Six, Mono walked to the other side of the window.
On the other side was a small cubicle.
There was nothing inside.
This time, there really was nothing to hesitate about.
He jumped directly from the window into the room.
"Up there~"
Mono pointed at the vent above the bookshelf.
Their direction had always been eastward.
As long as they maintained that, they would be able to reach the back of the school and smoothly find the bridge from the game.
Once they found the bridge, they could leave this damned school, cross the massive north-south chasm, and enter the Inner City.
Six walked over.
Mono climbed up along the bookshelf.
Before long, the two smoothly crawled into the ventilation duct.
Crawling through ducts was already second nature to them.
Soon, they reached the exit on the other side.
The other end of the ventilation duct led to a Changing Room Corridor.
Mono stopped at the edge.
Many crooked cabinets were placed in the corridor, with a few dilapidated Tables and chairs thrown into a corner.
However, the main thing was that several Ceramic Figurines were loitering here.
One of them was squatting on the ground, drawing something; from afar, it looked like another eye.
Another was kneeling in front of a cabinet, staring at its own lower body, lost in thought.
One was sitting on top of a cabinet.
Three figurines in total.
To Mono, these posed no threat.
Moreover, he still had a big leg... well, a calf to cling to.
Six's strength against these three Ceramic Figurines would be as easy as child's play.
"Ahem, Sam, I'll handle the one on the ground in a moment; you deal with the two by the cabinet," Mono arranged.
Six did not refuse; she glanced and nodded.
The two jumped down from the ventilation duct.
Out of caution, Mono carefully surveyed the surroundings again.
It was fine not looking, but looking startled him once more.
He saw that iron buckets were actually hanging from the beams above.
Without much thought, Mono knew these must be the arms of these Ceramic Figurines.
These little monsters, indeed, never forgot to set up these sneaky contraptions wherever they went.
However, looking down, he spotted a large iron hammer on the ground.
He had grieved for a long time after discarding his previous hammer; now he had finally found another one.
Mono walked straight over and gripped the hammer.
"Alright, Sam, you just stay there and watch."
Mono directly changed the battle plan.
Sam looked at Mono holding the hammer, blinked her eyes, but said nothing.
Mono dragged the iron hammer, slowly approaching the Ceramic Figurines.
Of course, he wasn't acting recklessly or driven by blind courage.
It was just that with traps here, he dared not let Six, with her somewhat dull nature, charge in.
