Six nodded to show she understood.
Mono continued to press his ear quietly against the door.
His hearing had been enhanced, so he could clearly hear the footsteps next door.
The sound was sometimes near, sometimes far; likely the Neck Person Teacher was pacing back and forth.
Finally, after a short while, the sound faded into the distance again.
"Now, Little Six."
Mono called out.
Six's movements weren't slow; as Mono's words fell, her figure leaped.
"Thud!"
Her small hand firmly pressed the switch on the wall.
The large door slowly slid upward.
Mono stood by the doorframe and looked inside but didn't see the Neck Person Teacher's figure.
He could only see another door inside the room, slightly ajar.
It seemed the Neck Person Teacher had gone into another room.
Six walked to Mono's side.
"Let's go, remember to be quiet." Mono took hold of Six's hand.
Six nodded.
He slowly walked into the room.
Under the dim yellow light, several transparent glass containers could be seen quietly placed on the Table.
They contained some unidentified organs.
Seeing these, Mono confirmed his guess.
This was the Laboratory from the game.
Six also saw the containers holding the strange objects, but there was no change in his expression.
"Let's go~"
Mono started walking again.
Six followed closely.
The two arrived at the edge of the doorframe.
Through the slightly ajar door crack, the familiar sound of high heels clicking came again from inside.
The Neck Person Teacher was inside.
Mono slowly stuck his head out, carefully observing.
In the somewhat dimly lit room, countless glass containers were placed on shelves along the walls and on Tables in the middle of the room.
Densely packed, a huge number.
All of them contained some unidentified organs.
Looking closely, one could see that most of them were... human brains.
Real human brains.
Or rather, the brains of the Little people.
Each bottle contained several.
And yet, there were countless bottles placed here.
Such a scene, with just a little thought, was enough to send chills down one's spine.
What had happened in this school in the past?
Why did the Neck Person Teacher have so many "collectibles"?
Where did the original Little people go?
Why were the students in the school all ceramic people without flesh and blood?
Why was there nothing inside their brains?
"Tap~"
"Tap~"
"Tap~"
Mono also saw the figure of the Neck Person Teacher.
It was currently pacing back and forth among the countless bottles and jars of "collectibles".
"Zzzz~"
A sound came.
The Neck Person Teacher seemed to be busy with something.
Because the Table blocked the view, Mono couldn't see clearly what it was doing with its hands.
Mono looked around again and saw a window on the wall opposite the room.
"See that window? We'll go through there."
Mono said to Six.
Although the scene inside the room seemed somewhat terrifying to a person.
But Mono wouldn't stop because of that.
Ever since arriving in this world, he never intended to retreat.
Six nodded.
As taciturn as ever.
Seizing the moment when the Neck Person Teacher turned around, Mono slipped into the room.
Inside the room, there was only a dim electric light emitting a faint glow. While this made the organ storage room seem eerie and oppressive, it also made it easier for the two to hide their figures.
Moving closer and hiding in the shadow of a Table leg, Mono looked at the window again.
The window was nearly two meters off the ground.
Mono asked Little Six about it.
She shook her head: "Too high..."
Hearing this, Mono wasn't surprised.
There were no footholds below the window—no cabinets, no shelves. Even if Six's abilities seemed heaven-defying, there were still limits.
Not being able to jump over was normal.
Mono looked around again.
He soon spotted the Table in front of the window.
Although the Table was still quite far from the window, it at least reduced the height difference to within half a meter.
As long as they climbed onto the Table opposite the window and made a sprinting jump, it would be easy to jump over.
Mono quietly explained his plan to Six again.
Little Six nodded.
So, without a word, the two slowly climbed onto the Table and soon landed on it.
"Thud!"
But immediately after, a loud noise came.
Mono was startled and quickly pulled Six, hiding behind some glass bottles that were facing away from the light.
"Zzzz!"
The familiar sound came again.
Through the gaps between the glass bottles, Mono finally saw clearly what the Neck Person Teacher was busy with.
On the long Table, at the other end, there was a cutting board.
And on the cutting board lay a bloody, crimson heart.
The Neck Person Teacher was holding a knife, making cutting motions.
After finishing the cuts, it picked up the heart, held it up to the light in front of its eyes, and examined it carefully, like a diligent scholar deeply engrossed in research.
Anyone who didn't know better would be moved by the Neck Person Teacher's dedication.
However, Mono watched as it examined for a while, then turned around.
Then, it installed the heart onto the human body behind it.
The body only had the upper half remaining.
Mono had originally thought it was just a model.
But his nostrils were filled with a strong smell of blood.
Combined with that crimson heart, it was hard for him to believe it was just a model.
So, were the other organs on the body—heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs—installed in the same way?
Mono couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Not from fear, but from disgust.
