Having already come this far, Mono naturally didn't want to give up halfway, nor did he want to pass up this last rare opportunity.
Hearing this, Six still gripped Mono's hand tightly.
"Why won't Mono let me go again..." she asked once more.
If someone must go to lure the Monster Doctor away, couldn't she be the one? Some painful memories were enough to be unforgettable after just once. She was very afraid...
"You go?"
Mono curled his lip. He actually wanted to let Six lure the Fat Doctor, but...
"The smell on you is too stinky. Do you think that big nose hanging on that guy's face over there is just for decoration?"
Hearing this, Six looked at him in confusion again:
"But Mono's scent is the same as mine, why can you go then..." Hearing this, Mono became annoyed and interrupted her:
"Shut up, you have the nerve to say that. If it weren't for you, Stinky Girl... how could I have such a disgusting smell on me... Hmph, anyway, it's decided. Be faster with your movements later; once you get the fuse, run far away..."
Of course, Mono didn't refuse to let Six lure him because of the smell, but because Six's ability to adapt to circumstances was really not very good.
Furthermore, he wasn't sure if there were any suitable places to hide in the room opposite.
So, if a noise was made over there to lure the Fat Doctor away, but one failed to hide properly and exposed their identity, it would be dangerous.
The Fat Doctor's build, with that layer of fat, was truly too thick; ordinary weapons would likely find it difficult to cause him any harm.
o... Seeking flowers...
If an accident really occurred because of Six's mistake, no matter how capable he was, he certainly wouldn't be able to save her.
He didn't want this journey, which they had finally managed to bring this far, to be cut short midway.
So by comparison, it might be more suitable for him to go.
Although his strength couldn't match Six's, when it came to the art of hiding and evasion, it was still hard for ordinary people to surpass him.
This was the confidence brought about by intellectual superiority.
He was much smarter than the dazed Six.
Hearing this, Six silently looked at Mono, her grip on his hand tightening slightly...
Why is Mono always like this...
Mono found Six's direct gaze a bit hard to bear, and besides, her grip on his hand was quite painful...
"Hey~ I said, that's enough. If you don't listen, I'll... give you a black eye, believe it or not..."
Mono felt a bit uneasy being watched like that again.
0...
Last time when he went to the Doll Room to find the fuse, Six had looked at him with that same gaze, hadn't she?
And then, an accident happened to him.
He always felt that being looked at like this made it seem as if he had already become a dead man.
Mono was already too tired to complain.
Hearing his words, Six did not let go...
After a long while, faint words drifted over silently...
"What Mono says must count..."
A stiff smile appeared at the corner of Mono's mouth.
He naturally knew what Six meant by 'must count'.
But, was he really going to continue setting flags in front of Six?
The last time he set a flag, he was almost torn to shreds by the dolls...
So...
Mono took a deep breath...
A faint unease and nervousness flickered in Six's pitch-black eyes...
Even though she was expressionless, he could still feel it...
"I will... keep my word."
As the words left his mouth, Mono wanted to cry but had no tears, feeling a wave of deep grief.
Why... did he still agree?
As expected, in front of Six, did things like setting flags no longer matter?
Mono's thoughts wandered, but he quickly snapped back to his senses.
He didn't believe... that his luck could really be that bad.
"Alright, remember, move quickly later. No matter what sound you hear, don't be nervous..."
Mono patted Six's small face again.
Six nodded. Her eyes still revealed a faint unease, but she was no longer gripping him tightly.
Mono withdrew his hand, turned around silently, and crawled outside.
Six crouched down, silently watching Mono's departing figure, clenching her small hands again.
One thing, she wouldn't let it happen twice...
Once was enough...
