Mono pushed open the wooden door of the cubicle.
The next moment, waves of clamor and smashing sounds rushed towards them.
Inside the Cafeteria, the dining Tables, cabinets, shelves, and all surrounding areas were filled with ceramic dolls.
To the side ahead, several ceramic dolls were slapping the Tables there.
On the other side, several dolls were raving—continuously jumping and stomping on the floor.
Plates flew through the air.
Some ceramic dolls were hiding in corners.
Strangely, even though these ceramic dolls couldn't speak, they managed to create a scene that felt exceptionally chaotic and noisy.
This was something one had to admire.
...
As the two walked past, some ceramic dolls turned their heads, casting empty gazes at them.
However, they didn't seem to intend to take any further action.
Mono understood this well.
As long as they wore hoods, how could these brainless little monsters possibly detect them?
Sam also silently observed everything around her.
Originally, her small hands were somewhat tense.
But as they went deeper and saw the ceramic dolls "ignoring" them, she gradually relaxed.
Of course, they still had to distract themselves to dodge the flying pots, pans, and dishes.
They walked forward, one after the other, for a while.
Just as Mono thought they could smoothly pass through this noisy Cafeteria, a ceramic doll suddenly appeared in front of them.
Though called a ceramic doll, its build appeared larger than usual ones.
It stood half a body taller than the other ceramic dolls around.
Its arms and legs were also thicker and larger than those of other ceramic dolls.
Moreover, it had a long braid tied on its head, clearly a "female."
Of course, most importantly, it seemed to have noticed them.
"Huh? Why did such a 'big guy' suddenly appear?"
Mono was somewhat puzzled in his heart.
He had wandered around here several times before and hadn't seen such a 'big' ceramic monster?
The sturdy Single Ponytail ceramic doll seemed to sense Mono's scrutinizing gaze.
It paused, then suddenly walked towards him.
Seeing this, Mono stiffened, and an ominous thought immediately arose in his heart.
What did it want to do?
Was it coming for him?
Though thinking this, Mono didn't act immediately.
Seeing Sam clench her fists, he grabbed her.
"Don't move~ It probably won't discover us."
Though feeling something was off, out of caution, Mono didn't overreact immediately.
Being a bit bigger didn't necessarily mean anything.
After all, these ceramic monsters were all brainless; could they really see through their disguise?
The female ceramic monster with a ponytail, resembling a "British strongman," finally reached their side.
Mono ignored it, intending to keep walking.
However, just as he thought they could pass by like this,
the one that had reached his side suddenly stopped.
Yes, right beside him.
Mono felt uneasy. What did this voluptuous 'beauty' stop for?
Had it really discovered something?
As he wondered, Mono felt a pair of large hands suddenly land on his hand, and then he was lifted up.
Mono was stunned for 0.01 seconds before reacting.
Discovered?
How was that possible?
As he wondered what to do, Mono felt weightless.
He saw the Single Ponytail ceramic doll leap with a bounce, landing directly on a high Table.
Mono was also carried onto the tabletop, like a roller coaster, which startled him.
Once back on solid ground and steadying himself,
Mono looked through the eyeholes of his mask and saw the Single Ponytail beauty shaking its stiff head, examining him continuously.
Mono couldn't help but curse inwardly.
What the hell was this??
He quickly raised his hand, trying to remove the thick arm gripping his own.
But he found the Single Ponytail beauty ceramic monster's arm was incredibly hard.
"System, I'm about to die. Can't you damn well come out and give me some bugs? Even giving me some luck would be good!!"
Mono felt aggrieved.
Yes.
This wasn't the first time.
But this definitely wasn't his fault.
Due to the system's incompetence, he had already tried his best to use his intelligence.
Yet, the cruel world always threw various surprises at him, catching him off guard.
How was he supposed to play like this?
Mono really wanted to throw down his arms and fight to the death now.
Dying wasn't supposed to be this aggrieved!!!
As he thought,
"Thud~"
A soft sound suddenly came from the tabletop.
A gust of wind swept by, and a figure leaped high, flashing down in an instant.
Looking, it was a small figure wearing a twin-ponytail hood.
It was Six.
Six landed, slowly straightened up, then stepped forward, walking towards the Single Ponytail ceramic monster.
As if an illusion, dark energy swirled around her feet.
