Little Nightmares: Betray Her Before She Betrays Me Chapter 40 40: The Ceramic Person Locked Beneath the Eye

Once outside the door, relying on his strong ntal fortitude, Mono quickly adjusted his emotions.

He wouldn't allow himself to be troubled by negative emotions—fear, dread, sorrow, and the like—for too long.

As for Sixth Master, her expression seed unchanged from start to finish.

Cool as a cucumber, she didn't need his concern at all.

Before leaving, Mono didn't forget the hamr he had left by the door.

Once again, he dragged the iron hamr while leading Sixth Master back along the corridor they had co from.

Sam remained silent.

Only when Mono wasn't paying attention would she look up and observe him walking ahead.

Her eyes were fixed on the paper bag on his head.

Her small hands clenched and unclenched restlessly.

Soon, the two of them returned to the elevator door they had passed earlier.

Smoothly inserting the key stolen from the classroom into the lock, the elevator door slowly opened.

The two rode the elevator, slowly ascending to the next floor.

"Clunk~ clunk~"

The elevator was steady, with no unexpected incidents.

"Thud~"

The elevator jolted to a stop, and the door slowly opened.

A familiar scene appeared before them.

Every floor in the school seed largely the sa—yellowed walls, rusty cabinets, dim lighting, decaying desks and chairs.

The two stepped out of the elevator.

After glancing around, Mono headed deeper into the corridor.

The teacher was still tapping the blackboard on the floor below.

He still had the iron hamr in hand, so he wasn't worried at all.

Now, on this floor, it's no joke, there's not a single one who can put up a fight.

Not far ahead, a large hall suddenly appeared.

The lighting in the hall was sowhat dim, with only a single lamp shining down in the very center.

"Ka-ka-ka~"

A familiar sound ca from within the hall.

It was the sound of chalk tapping against wood again.

Mono was startled.

Could the Long-Necked Teacher have run up here?

How could that be possible?

He had already checked; this building has no stairs.

Even if the teacher wanted to co up, he'd have to take the elevator.

Could there be another monster?

"Keep it down~" Mono said instinctively.

Sam nodded.

The two of them slowly crept forward. When they reached the doorway, Mono finally understood why the sound of chalk scraping and tapping was coming from the hall.

He saw a Ceramic Figurine, wearing a small, pointed white hat on its head, kneeling in the very center of the hall, waving its hand, continuously drawing sothing.

And around its neck was a tightly bound iron chain.

It seed the Ceramic Figurine had been tied up here by soone.

Mono stroked his chin.

"Only the Long-Necked Monster Teacher could do sothing so excessive."

However, even if a student is disobedient, they shouldn't be chained up like a dog and forced to kneel and copy howork in this cold, gloomy place.

Mono cast a sympathetic glance at the Ceramic Figurine in the center of the hall.

Then he slowly dragged his large iron hamr towards it.

Rather than lingering on in such a miserable state, wouldn't it be better to find release sooner?

...

The hall was spacious and had no cover.

When Mono's figure, dragging the hamr, appeared within the range of the lamplight, the Ceramic Figurine noticed him.

"Peng~"

It suddenly threw away the chalk stub in its hand.

Then, without a sound, it ran towards Mono.

"Peng peng peng~"

Urgent footsteps echoed through the hall, the sharp sound of ceramic colliding with wooden boards.

The next mont, the Ceramic Figurine rushed in front of Mono, then made a fierce pounce, descending towards his body.

Seeing Mono motionless, seemingly with no intention of swinging his hamr, Sam, who was to the side, wanted to charge over.

Although she was puzzled why Mono didn't raise the iron hamr to strike this Ceramic Figurine,

she had already experienced the strength of these ceramic Little people and knew the gap in power all too well.

If Mono didn't rely on the hamr, given his current strength, he wouldn't be able to deal with a Ceramic Figurine alone.

And if he got knocked down, he might get injured.
