"Hurry, go~"
Without delay, Mono quickly called out.
Sixth Master didn't need reminding.
The figures of the two had long since reached the entrance of the ventilation duct.
Then, with one leap, they darted inside.
"Aang~"
Outside the hole, came the angry cry of Neck Person Teacher.
"Boom boom boom~"
The sound of wooden beams collapsing continuously echoed.
Mono didn't dare delay. He remembered that the passageway couldn't hinder the extension of Neck Person Teacher's neck.
Mono also had no thought of taking advantage of the moment when Neck Person Teacher's neck was tangled on the crossbeam to attack.
He didn't have a suitable weapon.
Even the iron hammer from before was long gone.
And without a sharp weapon, with his strength, he probably couldn't even scratch Neck Person Teacher's skin, so how could he make it bleed?
In the dark passageway, chaotic footsteps echoed.
And behind them, was a wave of furious rage.
The atmosphere was tense.
Just as they were walking.
"Thud~"
A sound of something hitting the ground suddenly came.
Sixth Master, who had been walking ahead, suddenly collapsed onto the ground.
Mono was startled.
He quickly crouched down, supporting her to lean against his arm.
The light in the passageway was somewhat dim.
But Mono could still perceive her current state.
Sixth Master's breathing was very faint, and her whole body was wet and sticky, like a puddle of liquid.
"Hey~ hey~ Little Six!!!" Mono quickly shouted.
Sixth Master had definitely been outputting beyond her limits just now.
Now she was paralyzed.
Mono didn't get a response.
He hurriedly crouched down, grabbed her hand, draped it over his own neck, and continued crawling forward through the passageway.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from behind.
It seemed something was squeezing through the passageway.
"Damn it, if I don't fucking kill you, my name isn't Mono~"
Mono's steps didn't slow, he gnashed his teeth.
He naturally knew who the thing still chasing them from behind was.
Who else but Neck Person Teacher?
Soon, he ran to the other exit of the ventilation duct.
Without time to hesitate, he glanced at the room below, moved his feet, and directly jumped onto a bookshelf.
Then he quickly flipped over, tightly holding Sixth Master, gripping the edge of the bookshelf with one hand, and swung into a compartment between the bookshelves.
And the next moment after Mono jumped into the compartment.
"Bang~"
From the ventilation opening he had just jumped from, a head burst out.
The exit of the ventilation duct was directly squeezed out of shape.
Mono didn't reveal his head, quickly suppressed his breathing, and pressed his body into the corner among the books.
Using the shadows to conceal his figure.
Through the dim light, he could see a huge black shadow constantly projected onto the bookshelf.
The teacher seemed to be patrolling.
Just like that, several more minutes passed.
Mono was getting a bit impatient.
Of course, it wasn't that he lacked patience.
It was just that the state of Sixth Master in his arms was really not good.
Her breathing became even fainter.
Her heartbeat also slowed further.
This made him anxious.
It seemed he had wrongly blamed Sixth Master earlier, and Sixth Master's current state was also caused by saving him.
If she were to die like this, what would that make him?
Although Mono felt he wasn't a good person, he absolutely wouldn't let someone who hadn't done anything wrong by him come to a bad end.
He couldn't let anything happen to Sixth Master.
Just as Mono was about to lose his patience.
"Gurgle~"
A creepy growth sound gradually came again.
"Rumble~"
Neck Person Teacher seemed to have given up. The shadow of the long neck slowly retracted once more.
Then, the ventilation opening again transmitted a series of squeezing sounds.
It retreated back through the place it had just crawled in from.
Out of caution, Mono should have waited a bit longer.
But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about that.
"Hey~ Little Six, hang in there!!!"
Having said that, Mono once again picked up Sixth Master, gripped the bookshelf with one hand, and using both hands and feet, slowly slid down along the bookshelf.
Although Sixth Master's strength was considerable, her body weight... was not heavy.
Mono ran forward along the dark corridor.
This was a library, surrounded by scattered bookshelves in disarray, like a labyrinth.
"mo...no..."
A weak voice suddenly came from Sixth Master on his back.
"What's wrong? Sam?"
Mono's footsteps didn't stop.
"So tired..."
Hearing this, Mono's steps faltered:
"I know... but please don't fall asleep, okay?"
"Okay..." the weak voice came again.
