Looking at the dazed Sixth Master, Mono shook his head:
"idiot, didn't I tell you? I won't let you die. You're still alive and well right now."
"And I, thanks to you, can still breathe here too."
"We're both still alive right now, understand?"
Mono didn't take the opportunity to tease Sixth Master, he just explained.
"I... am still alive?"
Sam was dazed again.
She was somewhat doubtful.
She remembered it—her body was in agony, terrible agony, no strength, heavy, consciousness fading, everything felt powerless, until she lost everything and fell into endless darkness.
Only death gives people that kind of illusory feeling.
She couldn't be remembering wrong.
"You don't believe me?"
Mono looked at the dazed Sixth Master, pondered for a moment.
He suddenly jumped down from the edge of the bed, then turned around.
Then he pulled the paper bag on his head up a bit, and facing Sixth Master who was still lying on the bed, slowly leaned down.
A very cold sensation came.
Sam's heart skipped a beat, and she stared wide-eyed in a daze.
Mono straightened up.
Looking at her, he said: "Does it feel real?"
Of course, Mono indicated that this wasn't to thank Sixth Master for saving his life just now. He did this only to help Sixth Master return to reality faster.
That's completely reasonable, right?
Sam slowly raised her hand and touched her cheek; there was still some saliva on it.
She wanted to say she didn't believe it, but...
She looked dazedly at the glistening substance on her fingertip.
After a moment of silence, Sam turned her head, looked at Mono, and silently nodded.
...
Looking at Sixth Master who had suddenly gone quiet, Mono sat down again.
He thought about what had just happened.
"Hey~ why did you push that bottle down just now?" he asked.
This really left him scratching his head.
Of course, one thing was certain—Sixth Master hadn't betrayed him.
Sam looked silently at Mono, a trace of confusion appearing in her eyes again.
She was somewhat puzzled and said faintly:
"Didn't Mono say, tell me to push the bottle down?"
Mono was stunned: "I said that? When did I say that?"
"Like this..." Sam made a gesture.
"Like this..." She made another gesture.
"And then like this..." She made an expression Mono had shown.
...
So cute.
...
Finally, Sixth Master said:
"Mono said, tell me to push the bottle away, then attract the attention of the teacher below, then run upwards, don't look back, until..."
The more Mono listened, the more his kidney hurt.
Finally, he couldn't hold back:
"idiot, I meant for you to move the bottle aside! Are you trying to spite me?"
"Did you not understand a single one of my gestures?"
"Then why did you nod?"
"And here I thought we had a telepathic connection..."
"..."
Mono was too exhausted to complain.
Only a ghost would want to alert Neck Person Teacher!
Doesn't she realize her neck is very long?
And attract her attention?
That's just absurd.
Upon hearing this, Sam looked full of confusion.
Then, looking at Mono who kept grumbling, she fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said slowly:
"Mono... is the real idiot..."
"What? You dare talk back?"
Mono was displeased.
"We could have avoided a lot of trouble, but because you pushed the bottle down, you almost got us both killed."
"Look at you, lying here now, why is that?"
"Isn't it because of that reckless move just now?"
"You still dare say you're not an idiot?"
"And also..."
Mono got more and more worked up as he spoke.
Sam suddenly closed her eyes and turned her head away.
"Hey~ you think if you close your eyes I won't scold you? You idiot, so stupid, understand?"
"If something like this happens again next time, I'll... I'll beat you to death for sure."
Mono, of course, didn't think this was his fault for unclear communication.
Everything was Sixth Master's fault.
Faced with Mono's nagging, Sam kept her eyes closed the whole time.
Mono curled his lip.
Since when did this girl have such strong endurance?
He felt his throat was a bit dry and silently stopped talking.
The incident just now had left him with some aftereffects.
Mono glanced at Sixth Master, who was still stubbornly looking away, and also curled his lip.
"Alright, I'll let you off this time. You lie here and rest well. I'm going to find something to eat."
He needed to find some water and food as soon as possible. Otherwise, even without encountering the Neck Person Teacher, they'd be done for.
After speaking, Mono stood up again.
He slowly walked towards the door.
This was a room on the second floor of the hall, very clean.
Moreover, he had already confirmed there were no other strange monsters around.
As long as the door was locked, Sixth Master would be quite safe staying inside.
"Wait..."
Hearing Mono's footsteps fading away, Sam quickly opened her eyes and called out urgently.
She sounded nervous, her tone hurried and uneasy.
She wanted to climb down from the bed, but her body felt a sharp ache.
Mono turned back, saw her, quickly stopped, walked over, and restrained her movement:
"idiot, don't move around."
Sixth Master's condition wasn't good right now. Mono really didn't want to have to deal with her wounds again.
