Mono silently picked up a stone, checked the direction, and threw it into the distance again.
*Clatter?*
Neck Person Teacher moved toward the sound again.
Mono hurriedly grabbed the rope, passed it under the piano, and then jumped onto the...
...top of the piano, tying a tight dead knot.
Neck Person Teacher bit off another large chunk of earth and stone.
It spat the stone out of its mouth.
Two failures had made it somewhat irritable.
Its neck kept twisting, and its head looked around incessantly.
Its ears pressed against the floor one moment and the cabinet the next; occasionally, it would slam its head against its surroundings.
It attempted to flush out its silent prey this way.
Mono snapped two piano strings that had already popped out.
*Clang!*
The moment they were pulled, they made a sound. Neck Person Teacher immediately turned its head.
Mono didn't stay put; he had already left the spot the moment he snapped them. Neck Person Teacher's attack missed completely.
Neck Person Teacher continued to circle around.
Mono walked over slowly, making no sound.
He pulled out the two steel wires he had just torn from the piano.
He tied one end of one wire directly to the piano's soundboard and made the other end into a...
...noose.
He made the other one into a noose as well.
Mono took a deep breath and looked back. He gave Six a gesture to prepare to pull up.
Six had been paying attention all along.
She waved her hand, signaling that she understood.
"Hey!?"
Mono turned his head and suddenly let out a loud shout.
He needed to keep attracting the Teacher's attention so that Six could turn the wheel and pull the piano up.
Instantly, the straightforward Neck Person Teacher turned its head and rushed over.
"Sam, now's the time."
Mono shouted while his entire body tensed up.
One slip-up and he would be beyond redemption.
*Rumble, rumble...*
As Mono finished speaking, the wheel began to turn. The piano, already tied with the rope, began to rise. The dark shadow of Neck Person Teacher arrived in an instant.
*Boom!*
A violent blast of air suddenly exploded.
Mono leaped suddenly, his left hand grabbing the edge of the piano.
With his right hand, he flung the prepared piano string. *Bang!*
The Teacher's head went straight into the noose.
Upon impact, the piano string tightened immediately, binding around its neck.
"Sam, hurry! Faster!" Mono shouted urgently upon seeing this.
*Rumble, rumble...*
The wooden wheel turned rapidly, the silk rope tensed, and the piano rose quickly toward the beam.
*Hiss...*
*Screech...*
Neck Person Teacher suddenly turned its head toward Six's direction. The sound of the wheel was too loud.
*Hiss...*
*Screech...*
It let out a sudden cry and rushed toward Six's position.
Sam saw it too, but she didn't let go.
Because Mono was still on the piano.
And he hadn't spoken yet.
"Damn it!"
Mono cursed under his breath.
Glancing left and right, with no time to think, Mono suddenly climbed onto the piano.
Then he gave a sudden leap!
*Clang!*
Mono's feet landed on the keys, and a discordant burst of piano music immediately echoed through the room.
Neck Person Teacher's figure paused.
Seeing this, Mono shouted:
"Hey!!! Old Hag, didn't you want to eat me? Over here, come on! You monster!"
Mono shouted as he jumped.
Neck Person Teacher seemed to "understand"; it changed direction immediately, turning its head once more to rush toward the rising piano.
*Rumble, rumble...*
The piano was rising rapidly.
But the height posed no obstacle to Neck Person Teacher.
Its neck elongated, chasing directly after him.
Mono's expression was grave.
He gripped the piano string he had just tied to the piano frame.
Leaning his head out slightly, he saw Neck Person Teacher's head rapidly approaching from below.
