Little Six blinked her eyes in confusion.
Mono looked at Six in his arms, his hands trembling. His arms were about to break.
He immediately let go.
"Thud!"
Six, who was still being held, fell directly onto the ground this time.
Mono rubbed his shoulders.
"Stinky Girl, do you want to die? Didn't you hear me tell you to let go?"
Mono said with a sour face.
He hated "pig teammates" the most.
Six slowly crawled up, still clutching the fuse in her hands.
"I was just afraid... of breaking the fuse..." she stated in explanation.
The corner of Mono's mouth twitched.
He no longer had the energy to complain.
Could a fuse possibly be more important than her?
If the fuse was gone, they could find another, but if Six was gone, there would be nowhere to find her.
Mono walked silently up to Six, raised his hand, and pinched her little face:
"Remember this: next time, you must listen to me, or else... or else I'll... pinch your little face into a ball..."
As he spoke, Mono's hand even gave a tug.
Six's expressionless little face was suddenly pulled out of shape.
Looking at Mono, who was putting on a "serious look" while pinching her face, Little Six was speechless.
After a long while...
Only then did a thought silently flash through her mind—"Mono is a bad guy..." Seeing Six's expressionless face, Mono tugged again...
Surprisingly, Six's face looked quite thin, but it actually felt pretty good to pinch—soft, smooth, and a bit cool, as if touching a gelatinous water balloon.
It was hard to let go.
However, seeing that the look in Little Six's eyes seemed to have become "strange."
Mono coughed twice and finally withdrew his hand.
"What are you looking at? Remember, if there's a next time, just you wait."
With that, he flicked his sleeve.
"Still looking? Let's go, idiot."
Mono squeezed his hand, turned around, and walked forward.
Six silently watched Mono's back for a moment, then silently reached out to rub her own little face.
It really seemed a bit excessive...
However, seeing that Mono was really about to leave, she hastily lowered her hand, picked up the fuse, and followed behind him.
...
The two of them once again retraced the path they had come by.
Mono didn't want to do this.
But he had no choice.
Because Little Six had run from outside the room's bars to rescue him while he was trapped, even though they had the fuse now, they couldn't open the electric gate from the outside to leave directly.
They could only return the way they came.
Mono felt a bit depressed about this.
He didn't want to see those brainless dolls again.
Because as soon as he saw them, he would be reminded of what just happened.
Although it was a mistake and accident caused by a matter of luck, he still instinctively felt unpleasant thinking about how he had been trapped and how Little Six's emotions had changed because of it.
He had made a mistake after all.
However,
Mono raised his eyes again and looked at Little Six, who was silently following him.
5.3 A piece of information flashed before his eyes.
He watched, rubbing his chin. "So the activation progress of [Shadow Siphon] has stalled again after reaching ten times?"
Six's other attributes had returned to normal levels after she recovered.
However, just like last time, that activation progress showed no sign of receding.
As he was thinking...
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Six suddenly turned her head, looking at Mono with confusion.
She was very sensitive to being watched, especially when it was Mono looking at her.
Mono shook his head. "Nothing... let's go..."
Mono didn't explain; he didn't even know if this was a good or bad thing for Six.
Naturally, he didn't know how to explain it either.
Seeing this, Little Six looked at Mono with confusion once again.
Mono seems to have something on his mind again...
But why won't he tell her?
She clearly... could help him too...
