But!
Is it really okay?
Mono's fist slamd onto the ground.
The next mont, he looked up and tore off the Paper bag hood on his head. On his youthful face, a look of determination flashed through his originally kind eyes. How could he just leave like this?
How could he hide behind a Little Girl?
How could he peacefully accept this shaful gift?
If he left?
Then what would he be?
Would he still be himself?
The world is cruel, but that is no reason for him to lose his original heart. If he discarded these things for the sake of survival...
Then what difference would there be between him and these monsters?
What right would soone like him have to talk about the world's sorrows and joys?
What talk of change?
Moreover, Six had been so loyal to him until now, how could he treat her with such hypocrisy? Even if they might be enemies in the future, he had to save her.
This was his promise to her—to escape this damned world together.
His promise could never be a joke full of irony.
He couldn't leave!
This... was determined from the very beginning.
Mono slowly stood up, his gaze gradually falling upon Neck Person Teacher.
"If I don't kill you today, my na isn't Mono—!"
Anger flashed through his eyes for a mont, then was replaced by indifference.
Mono forced himself to calm down.
His brain whirred rapidly.
His eyes constantly scanned the room.
A piano, a shelf, beams, ropes, books, a Table, a broken hole, a vent.
Everything flashed through his mind quickly.
Six's figure was below, still leaping around the piano.
Neck Person Teacher was in pursuit.
The booming sounds were constant.
Mono, who had been looking around, finally made a move.
Standing up, retreating, sprinting, jumping—the actions were seamless.
Mono's small figure leaped high, flashing through the dark room.
Shi Yi II
Diao?
"Creak—?"
Flying along a long trajectory, Mono reached out and grabbed.
The rope that had already snapped was caught by its tail by Mono, pulled taut once again.
Mono's figure, carried by inertia, swung forward again, pulled by the rope.
Reaching the critical point, Mono let go.
A feeling of weightlessness ca over him.
Xi?
Mono successfully swung onto the original platform.
Ran
The steel pipe left in the corner of the platform was hoisted onto Mono's shoulder.
Without wasting ti,
Mono went straight along the pile of books,
sliding down.
Below,
"Boom!"
Neck Person Teacher launched another dive.
Sam stepped on the wooden board, trying her best to dodge.
But this ti, her movent was slower than before.
This wasn't the first ti she had dodged; her physical strength was being rapidly consud. Although her reactions were fast, the fatigue of her body was unavoidable. A dark shadow flashed past.
"Bang!"
A dull thud sounded, and the small figure was instantly sent flying. She landed far away on the ground, rolling a few tis before barely coming to a stop. She looked like a dusty sandbag.
Six's originally pitch-black hair was now coated in layers of dust.
Her long gown was also torn.
Her entire person appeared sowhat disheveled.
Although she had tried her best to dodge the teacher's pounce, she was still struck by its hard skull.
"Cough?"
A soft cough escaped her throat.
Six slowly stood up once more.
Instead of imdiately reassuming a combat stance, she raised her head.
Her gaze drifted toward the platform on the opposite side.
The platform was now empty.
Six turned her head back to look forward.
Neck Person Teacher's neck was already winding as it rushed to a spot not far in front of her. However, this ti, she lowered her hands.
A hint of confusion appeared in her faint eyes.
But this confusion did not trouble her for long.
She had already found a reason for herself to do this once before. What was there to be confused about now?
The little monts along the way flashed through her mind once more like fras of an animation.
So ordinary, yet so extraordinary.
To what extent would one person be willing to sacrifice for another?
Life?
Is she smiling?
Why?
Mono, who had already rushed over, watched this scene with wide eyes.
What is this girl doing, acting like an idiot at such a critical mont!???
U-H
Seeing Six's indifferent appearance, Neck Person Teacher did not hesitate or pause for a single mont.
It let out a piercing shriek and lunged with its mouth open.
Six's faint figure stood there alone, motionless... After all, the strength of Little people simply cannot compare to that of monsters.
Though her strength was considered great among the Little people...
In the face of these terrifying existences whose souls had been twisted, she remained fragile and vulnerable...
The struggle just now was rely to buy ti.
And now...
Perhaps death would also be a form of release...
In this lonely world, everything is filled with despair, and everything is shrouded in shadows.
If it ends, there's nothing to regret...
The wish to escape the cage can only...
She comforted herself this way...
But beneath her emotionless expression, her small hands were still clenched into fists.
Why is there still so... sadness...
What am I still afraid of...
Mono's face flashed through her mind once more.
That youthful face, those intelligent eyes, those gentle words—every aspect of his voice and smile...
oooO
So, it was just... reluctance to part?
Between life and death, thoughts pass in a flash; ti is but a fleeting mont.
Shadows gradually lood over her head.
The teacher's foul-slling teeth and crimson lips slowly grew larger in her eyes.
Who would have thought they would die in such a manner?
Bang!
Boom!
A yellow-black shadow fell directly.
The ground vibrated.
Six's originally indifferent black eyes suddenly froze in shock.
A dark shadow had crashed into her...
Who...
A familiar scent...
It felt like a dream, so surreal...
Crash-thud-bang
Under the force of the impact, two figures tumbled far along the ground.
Mono held Six's body tightly, enduring the constant bumps as they rolled, gritting his teeth.
Finally, the montum slowly ca to a stop.
Huff, huff, huff?
Mono panted as he slowly propped himself up.
Six stared blankly at the familiar figure holding her in front of her: "mo...no..."
Mono panted, his face flushed, and he roared:
"You idiot, do you fucking want to die? Why didn't you dodge!" Little Six was stunned, her mouth opening, but... she couldn't find the words.
Seeing this, Mono felt even more furious.
However, he didn't have ti to scold her now, nor did he care about the pain; he hurriedly scrambled to his feet.
As Little Six was helped up, her dark eyes were filled with astonishnt.
Seemingly caught completely off guard, her slightly raspy voice ca through:
"Mono, why... did... you..."
"Co back..."
Glimring light flickered in her eyes...
It was as if stars were twinkling, or like the night moon's pure light being obscured... An inexplicable mist swirled in her eyes...
Mono had originally wanted to criticize Six harshly for her performance just now, but seeing this, he froze.
Six was actually... again...
