Seeing the Ceramic Figurine leave, Mono once again led Little Six forward.
Stepping out of the room, there was finally a bit more light ahead.
A chandelier swayed overhead, barely allowing one to see everything inside the room.
This was yet another room.
Inside the room, several dilapidated and rusted cabinets leaned against the walls.
On the wooden floor, Tables and chairs lay scattered in all directions, many with broken legs.
"They really are a bunch of bratty kids..."
Seeing this ss, Mono thought of those Ceramic Figurines.
This was definitely their handiwork.
Although these Ceramic Figurines were hollow inside, their inherent nature remained.
They followed certain instincts, doing things they were accustod to, which seed brutal to outsiders.
Beneath those small bodies lurked a great evil.
Under their shabby exteriors, they were actually more insidious than they looked.
The scene before him reminded Mono of their behavior in the ga.
He was just thinking...
*Creeak~*
The sound of floorboards groaning suddenly ca from the side.
Then, a huge dark shadow erged from the ceiling.
Hearing the commotion, Mono was startled.
He watched the flying shadow.
Turning to see Little Six still standing there in a daze, he didn't have ti to think and imdiately lunged at her.
*Thud!*
The two of them fell heavily onto the floor.
*Whoosh~*
The next mont, a piercing and massive sound of wind rushed past Mono's head.
Looking back, he saw a huge bucket filled with bricks swinging through the air in a sharp arc at a violent speed.
A cold sweat broke out on Mono's back.
If his movents had been a second slower, Sixth Master would probably have been smashed into at paste by now.
"Hey, you idiot, didn't I tell you to follow ? Why are you wandering off?" Mono scolded.
Little Six clutched her head and slowly sat up.
"I'm sorry."
She looked at Mono and spoke blankly.
Seeing this, Mono couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
With that nonchalant look, there wasn't a hint of guilt at all.
But he also knew that this was just how Sixth Master was.
"Hey, focus. I can't save you every ti. You have to be alert to your surroundings yourself, idiot,"
Mono said.
Having an unreliable teammate was very worrying for him.
Little Six nodded.
Seeing this, Mono didn't say anything more.
Standing up, he turned his head to look at the ceiling.
He saw heavy objects hidden in every obscured corner of the ceiling.
Buckets, chandeliers, chairs, and even massive Tables were there.
Mono's mouth twitched as he saw this.
It seed he had still underestimated the capabilities of these Ceramic Persons.
This setup was clearly intended to kill anyone passing by; it didn't seem like a prank at all.
The space above their heads was entirely filled with traps.
"Stay here and don't move."
Mono said to Little Six.
Although Sixth Master was stronger than him, her delayed reaction just now made him afraid to trust her so easily—she was far too careless.
Little Six nodded without making a sound.
Mono stepped forward and walked ahead.
A piece of wood was lying on the ground, and he picked it up.
As he walked, he probed the floor.
He didn't know which floorboard would trigger a trap chanism.
Just when Mono thought this room had no more traps and reached the doorway, the wooden stick pressed down on a crossbeam.
*Click-clack~*
The wooden board sank directly down.
Then,
*Thump~*
The familiar sound ca from the ceiling again.
A massive chandelier swung directly toward Mono's position.
Mono's eyes narrowed; he quickly arched his waist back and perford a backflip, jumping away from the spot.
*Boom!*
The Chandelier crashed to the floor, letting out a massive boom.
Glass shattered instantly, and the sizzling sound of electricity rang out continuously, mingled with flickering sparks.
In the distance, Six watched this scene, a strange light flashing once more in her indifferent eyes.
A ripple of emotion seed to surge within her deep eyes once again.
Looking at Mono, whose trench coat fluttered as he stood with his back to her, her lips moved slightly.
But... no sound ca out.
Of course, if anyone could have heard her, they might have caught two words.
The massive commotion instantly spread far and wide.
"Kaka, kaka~"
From the distance, ssy footsteps suddenly rang out.
Hearing the noise, Mono hurriedly ran back.
The commotion from the falling Chandelier was too loud; the Ceramic Figurines must have heard it.
Running all the way back, Mono grabbed Six, who was standing there.
"Let's go!"
The two of them ran forward.
But Mono heard the footsteps behind them becoming increasingly hurried.
He hadn't expected these Ceramic Figurines to be so troubleso.
Finally, the two reached the cabinet they had just passed.
The footsteps behind were drawing closer. Out of necessity, Mono stopped and hurriedly said:
"Climb up there."
No sooner had he spoken than the silhouettes of the Little people appeared in the distance.
Their joints seed to have been liberated, no longer restricted.
Like motors, they were tireless.
Upon seeing them, they charged forward in silence.
"Damn it!"
"You go up first."
Mono hurriedly spoke to Six again.
Having said that, he turned around.
Instinctively, he still treated Sixth Master as an ordinary Little Girl.
He intended to buy her so ti.
However, just as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized his waist seed to be hugged by soone.
"Eh?"
Mono was confused.
But before he could turn his head, a massive yet gentle force ca from the hands hugging his body.
"Ah~"
Mono felt his body take flight.
He was flailing helplessly.
"Thud~"
In the next mont, his figure landed steadily on the cabinet.
Mono looked back, only to see that Six had already let go and started running forward.
Sixth Master had actually tossed him onto the cabinet?
"Hey, what are you doing!!?"
Before Mono could even calm down, he hurriedly stood up.
"Stay there and don't co out."
Sixth Master shouted back, then continued running.
The Ceramic Figurines had already passed under the cabinet.
They then chased after Six.
Mono finally understood her plan.
This girl actually wanted to lead these Ceramic Figurines away for him?
But?
Mono did a rough count and found that there were quite a lot of these Ceramic Figurines.
Although deep down Mono enjoyed trolling Sixth Master from ti to ti.
But seeing this group of Ceramic People chasing her, he couldn't bring himself to stay here quietly.
The thods of these Ceramic Figurines had just begun to show.
Although these guys seed to act only on instinct, they were surprisingly cruel.
Mono wasn't sure what they would do to Sixth Master if they caught her.
In the ga, it seed that after Sixth Master was caught, they hung her in the bathroom and beat her several tis.
What about now?
If an accident happened and Sixth Master was beaten to death, what then?
The thought of a Little Girl being beaten to death just to lead enemies away for him?
Mono really couldn't sit still.
He wasn't so boy who would hide behind a Little Girl.
Besides, even if Sixth Master was to be bullied, it had to be him doing it.
How could anyone else beat him to it?
"No way!"
Mono made up his mind.
He didn't linger any longer and jumped straight down from the cabinet.
Looking left and right, his eyes suddenly lit up.
In the corner sat a massive, pitch-black Hamr gleaming with a tallic luster.
