The rope overhead seemed to be affected by the rapid piano music, starting to twist and spin.
Six also noticed the silk rope above. She paused for a moment but continued to follow closely behind Mono.
"Clang!"
"Snap!"
The teacher suddenly stopped playing again.
And this sudden cessation of the melody seemed to directly affect the few remaining
strands of the rope.
"Snap!"
"Pop!"
The taut rope, like a rubber band stretched to its limit, suddenly snapped at its weak point in the middle, erupting with a soft pop and a puff of dust.
"Quick, run!"
Mono didn't dare maintain a steady pace any longer.
He quickly stood up and sprinted along the rack, rushing toward the exit of the opposite ventilation duct.
But...
The rack began to lose the support of the rope.
The figures of Mono and the other also began to descend along with it.
Mono cursed inwardly.
What should he do now?
If they fell, they would definitely land on the Neck Person Teacher's head, and then... Mono didn't dare think further.
Just the thought of it made his skin crawl.
I have to jump up!!
Mono gritted his teeth.
But the distance was still too far.
Is it over?
There was clearly only one last exit left.
If they could just get past it, they could escape this damned hellhole!!
Mono felt a trace of bewilderment, a trace of confusion.
And naturally, there was also a trace of resentment and frustration.
And anger.
At this moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
It was as if something you had spent your whole life pursuing,
was just about to be within reach one day,
when it was suddenly smashed and trampled by someone.
That feeling of despair, mixed with a sense of loss, was simply impossible to describe in words.
However, just as Mono was at a loss,
he suddenly felt a surge of immense strength from the cold little hand he was holding tightly.
Mono felt something and turned his head, his eyes widening.
Six was looking at him expressionlessly.
He hurriedly said:
"—"
But before the words could leave his mouth...
"Whoosh—"
In the next instant, the wind brushed past, and his body stopped its downward descent.
"Bang!"
With a flutter of clothes, Mono's figure was thrown from the rack, flying toward the vent above.
Meanwhile, the other figure was subjected to the opposite force and began to accelerate downward.
As he slowly drifted away, Mono's eyes were dazed as he stared blankly at the small figure still standing on the rack.
Their pitch-black eyes met, their gazes intersecting in the air...
everything seemed to
slow down.
Mono was dazed and reached out his hand, only to find there was no way... to hold on. "Crash!"
The light and shadows flickered away, and in an instant... the rack finally collapsed with a roar.
Falling straight down.
Boom!
A massive sound echoed.
The eerie piano playing came to an abrupt halt.
In its place was a sharp screech.
Neck Person Teacher's eyes suddenly widened, and a terrifying, hoarse sound came from the throat...
It was struck by the shelf.
Suddenly suffering this heavy blow, she was startled out of the joy of playing, her heart filled with rage.
o... Seeking flowers...
With a thrust of its head, the shelf on top of it was sent flying.
"Bang!
n
The shelf landed on the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.
Neck Person Teacher's neck twisted in all directions.
Then it stopped abruptly.
Its bulging, wide eyes stared straight at a small figure within the smoke.
Six's thin, weak figure crouched beside the fallen shelf, slowly swaying as she stood up from the dust on the floor.
Having found the target, Neck Person Teacher immediately flew into a rage.
U^3 H
Ang—
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, its long neck carrying its head lunged forward like a giant snake, biting toward Six.
"Sam, run quickly!"
Mono, standing on the platform, shouted urgently.
Hearing the sound, Six steadied herself.
0...0
A dark shadow flashed past.
With a roll, she leaped away from her original spot.
"Boom!"
Neck Person Teacher's head smashed directly into the ground, shattering wood chips. Having dodged, Six looked up.
"Mono, leave this place!"
Her flat words came with a hint of urgency. Hearing this, Mono was stunned again.
Leave?
He became somewhat stiff.
Should he... or should he not, leave? Mono's eyes glazed over.
In the moment between life and death, thoughts swirled, and it was hard for him to remain calm...
As long as he stepped into the vent behind him, he could leave this godforsaken place.
He would no longer have to endure all the terrible things in the school; all the horror and darkness would be far away from him.
As long as he left the school, he could... continue to live.
What if he didn't leave?
No, that wouldn't work, right?
If he didn't leave, he would have to face Neck Person Teacher. This terrifying monster was a pervert. It couldn't be judged by common sense at all.
Even if he didn't leave, he absolutely couldn't help Six with anything. Even if he stayed, he couldn't beat it and would only be throwing his life away for nothing.
How could a normal person's strength defeat such a non-human existence? Moreover, they were just Little people.
There was no, truly no possibility at all. He could not stay.
He still wanted to escape this damned world, didn't he? For himself.
He should leave here, turn around immediately, run immediately, sprint, and not look back. Until he could no longer see this damned school.
He should do this!
