The two of them climbed back onto the rooftop again.
The cold instantly assaulted them once more.
Mono turned his head to look around, then turned back to Six and said:
"Little Six, which building still has people?"
The heavy rain obstructed his vision, forcing Mono to rely on Little Six's eyes to discern. Little Six shook her head, looking left and right, then slowly extended a finger: "Over there."
Following the direction of her finger, Mono silently walked to the edge of the building.
The rooftop of the opposite building was much lower than this one, and a long Steel Cable Chain was hanging in mid-air, connecting them.
Mono jumped onto the steel cable, pulling down on it forcefully a few times. The cable only swayed slightly, showing no signs of snapping.
Mono looked down and spotted a Coat Hanger with a Hook lying on the ground.
Silently, he jumped down, walked over, picked it up, and tapped it in his hand.
The hanger wasn't rotten. Satisfied, Mono nodded, returned to the Iron Chain, and hooked the curved part onto the chain.
"Come over quickly?"
Mono said to Six, who was still watching.
Little Six silently walked over.
"Hold on tight~" Mono, gripping the wooden handle part with both hands, said again.
Little Six nodded, walked over, her small arms encircling him, her head resting slightly on his shoulder.
"Is that a proper hold? Hold tighter..." Mono said, exasperated.
Wasn't she usually quite strong? Why was she being so reserved now, unwilling to use her strength?
If he weren't afraid that Six might accidentally fall halfway through the slide, he wouldn't have bothered saying anything.
After he spoke, Little Six gave a muffled acknowledgment. Mono couldn't see her expression at that moment, only feeling the sound she made was somewhat... cute. Then, the small arms holding him tightened with force.
"Don't let go, we're moving..."
Mono shouted, then leaned his body. The Hook instantly tightened against the chain, and under the force of gravity,
their figures slid straight along the Iron Chain towards the opposite building.
"Whoosh?"
The wind whistled urgently past their ears. Mono once again felt a strange surge of excitement...
This was more thrilling than riding a roller coaster.
Little Six also heard Mono's rapid heartbeat, and her small arms held on even tighter.
After sliding through the air for a minute, the scenery of the opposite building finally appeared before their eyes.
"Clang!"
With a jolt, the downward slide abruptly stopped. The two of them successfully reached the rooftop.
If it weren't for saving time, he really wouldn't want to cross between buildings this way.
He looked down.
"Hey, we're here. Aren't you going to let go? Do you want to strangle me..."
Why wasn't Six a bit more perceptive?
After he spoke, Little Six slowly loosened her grip.
"Where are the people?"
Mono asked again.
"Mono..." Little Six raised her hand, pointing to the side again, "Over there..." Mono silently walked over. Soon, on the low Parapet Wall of the rooftop, he discovered several shadowy figures.
"Little Six, don't just stand there, come help me push them down..."
As he spoke, Mono moved swiftly, already pushing the first person off the building. Little Six acknowledged, walked over with her bare feet, and imitated him.
Before long, the rooftop was cleared again.
All those who had been staring at the Signal Tower had completely fallen to their deaths.
Little Six didn't question Mono's actions. Mono must be doing this to grant these people release...
Mono asked Little Six again.
Little Six pointed towards another building.
Mono looked. This time, however, he didn't find anything suitable on the rooftop for crossing over.
However, between some of the lower floors, there were many Ropes hanging interconnected.
"Let's go, we're heading down."
Mono started walking.
His goal now was simple—since the Signal Tower needed these people's gazes,
he would just destroy them all.
By doing this, he could not only avoid a deep, direct conflict with an unfathomable force,
but also weaken its power. It was killing two birds with one stone.
After descending several floors, Mono suddenly heard a crackling sound of electric current in his ears.
The sound was coming from inside a room.
Pulling Six along, he walked over...
"Creak?"
Silently pushing open the rotten wooden door, flickering white light emanated from inside the room.
Peeking his head in, the scene inside came into view.
It was a Living Room. Some bottles and books were scattered on the floor, piled messily in various places. The floor was covered in dust. The surrounding walls were somewhat dilapidated, the plaster layer
fallen away, revealing the concrete beneath.
However, Mono's gaze was drawn to the figure standing quietly between the Sofa and the Television.
Like those people standing on the rooftops, the person inside this room was also motionless, just staring at the Television emitting white light.
Mono felt a tight grip on his hand.
He turned his head and saw Six silently staring blankly at the Television in the room.
"Little Six, wait for me here. I'm going in to take a look..."
Knowing why Little Six was afraid, Mono didn't say much, just patted her hand.
Six snapped back to reality, withdrew her gaze from the TV, then silently shook her head and slowly said:
"I want to go with Mono..."
Mono silently looked at Six. Still scared, yet so stubborn?
"Are you sure you're okay with this?"
After all, she was just a Little Girl. Her tolerance did have its limits...
Little Six tightened her grip on his hand again and nodded.
"Alright then. But there's nothing to be afraid of. Just stay close to me... understood?" Six nodded again, but her hand remained tightly clenched.
Mono sighed helplessly, said no more, silently turned, and started walking towards the inside of the room.
As the distance closed, the figure before him became increasingly clear.
A head of mottled white hair, neatly coiled at the back of her head. She wore a homely apron dress and high heels on her feet. This was the woman.
Mono moved a bit closer, but the woman's body suddenly swayed.
Mono quickly pulled Six into a corner to hide.
the woman turned her head, glanced behind her a few times. Seeming to find nothing, she silently turned her head back and resumed staring at the flickering Television.
"Can she still sense the presence of living people?"
Mono silently wondered.
Although this woman's soul had also succumbed, and her body had been distorted, the
degree was likely lighter than those people on the rooftops who stared directly at the Signal Tower.
Mono glanced around, then pulled Six along, bypassed the Living Room, and continued walking further inside.
Although the person before him was just an adult twisted by desire, if it came to a fight, he probably wouldn't lose. But he didn't want to resolve things in such a laborious way.
Because his plan was to kill... destroy as many people in this city as possible. If he had to deal with each one individually, he might exhaust himself to death before Mono even appeared.
Beyond the Living Room was a large Kitchen, furnished with many cabinets and a Sink.
"Little Six, quickly look around. See if there's a Remote nearby..."
