26. Empty Beach Castle
Lin Li looked at this starfish that had become a little strange, and his eyes became wary.
Starfish didn't seem to care about Lin Li's reaction, and continued to talk to himself in his strange tone.
"I really, so much want to eat you, Mr. Lin Li." He repeated.
"If it weren't for this barrier, I might have eaten you by now." The starfish struggled with their arms, and the only remaining chains made a 'whoosh' sound.
"I think you're going to taste good, you're going to taste good enough to make me want to cry, damn it, damn it!"
There was some anger in Starfish's strange voice, and he grinned, chewing the air with his broken teeth.
He suddenly regained his composure.
"You know what? I've always been able to eat starfish meat, starfish, starfish, starfish everywhere, what a disgusting species. Dirty, disgusting, and the feeling of swallowing makes you want to vomit, starfish are actually the creatures I hate the most, not one of them.
Actually, I hate a lot of people, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Sandy...... No, maybe everyone in Beechburg except SpongeBob SquarePants. β
"Heh, forget it, they're not people, they're just one of the sources of the stench." Starfish scoffed.
"I really feel like I'm going crazy, no, I'm crazy, otherwise how could I be in this place at this time, in such a way to face you, and say these things?"
The starfish raised his head and looked at Lin Li painfully, such a look appeared on his face for the first time:
"Mr. Lin Li, if I can't eat your flesh, can you kill me? I want to die, it's hard for me to die, but with firecrackers like yours and stuffed in my stomach, I might die. β
He was a little sad, and his eyes were full of sadness.
"I ...... Damn. β
After saying this, the starfish suddenly lowered his head frantically and raised his head rapidly, allowing the back of his head to slam against the wall.
Leave a blue flower.
"I want to die, I want to die, I want to die, I want to die!"
Starfish muttered these words in her mouth, and kept repeating the operation of banging your head against the wall.
The remaining chain, which had already been smashed by Lin Li, was a little loose, and finally fell off and fell to the ground under the huge movement of the starfish.
Lin Li took two steps back and raised the steel rod in his hand.
That barrier was gone, and he feared that the starfish would come up and bite him.
But the starfish didn't seem to realize this at all, and only slammed the back of his head against the wall, and didn't even open his eyes to look at Lin Li.
The blood on the walls grew bigger and stronger.
He's really gone crazy.
"Delicious crab roe burger recipe: bread, meatloaf, tomato, mustard, pickled cabbage, onions, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, bread.
The patty is made up of 70% starfish meat, 29.9% starch, and 0.1% crab boss meat. β
Lin Li submitted his answers to the system inwardly.
[The secret recipe is correct. γ
γYou have completed the main quest (1/3), you have obtained [Delicious Crab Castle]*1.] γ
After confirming the correctness of the secret recipe, Lin Li sighed, raised the steel rod high, and swung it at the side of the starfish's head.
"Whew."
The starfish fell to the ground without a sound, but the flesh and blood on his body that were still slowly wriggling seemed to tell Lin Li that he was not dead yet.
But Lin Li didn't care about him anymore, this stick didn't intend to kill him, perhaps, just expecting, after he woke up, maybe he would come back to his senses.
He walked to the exit and looked at the second main quest that popped up from the system.
[Main quest (2/3): Find the true source of the absurdity]
γQuest Hint: Go to the Crab Castle Kingγ
γReward: Character "SpongeBob SquarePants" (One-Day Trial Card)*1γ
Lin Li paused, he turned his head and looked at the corpse of the crab boss on the ground.
"The source of the absurdity, isn't it Mr. Krabs?"
[The answer is incorrect.] γ
Hearing that the system responded to his judgment, Lin Li's eyes rolled and he whispered:
"The source of the ridiculous, is SpongeBob SquarePants? Is it Patrick? Is it Squidward? Is it a ruffian? It's this starfish ......."
It's a pity that Lin Li, who wanted to use the exhaustive method to directly solve this task, found that the system did not respond to his temptation at all.
"It should be subconsciously felt that there is evidence to support it." Lin Li made this speculation.
"But the source of the ridiculousness is not Mr. Krabs? Who would that be? β
Lin Li looked at the lower right corner of his line of sight, too, the degree of absurdity showed that it was only 50%, and it was just halfway there.
Then he sighed again, this "SpongeBob SquarePants" world, which was originally good, suddenly became so underworld today.
Lin Li looked at the time on the diving suit, oh, it was already 0:13, and it had become netherworld since yesterday.
What's even worse is that the events of Hades are only halfway over.
Spare me.
Adjust your mood and march towards the exit.
He plans to go back to Sandy's house to sleep first, and go directly to the Crab Castle King during the day to find clues to the second mission.
Lin Li paused again, and at the entrance of the cellar in front of him, bright light spilled in from the hole and filled the steps below.
Someone out there?
When Lin Li cautiously walked to the exit with a steel rod, he found that this light was not artificial, but that it was dawn, and it was warm sunlight.
Out of the cellar: "......"
Lin Li, he really hadn't seen the sun at 0.13 minutes.
Feeling incredulous, he looked at the watch on his wetsuit.
The first second, 0.14 minutes.
But when Lin Li's eyes locked on it for the second second, the numbers on it suddenly began to change rapidly, and zero became one to two...... In the end, it stayed at 9:14.
[Ridiculous level: 60%]
ββ¦β¦ Is this fast-forwarding? Does it mean that you won't let me sleep? The expression on Lin Li's face at this moment can only be described indescribably.
But he was a little glad in his heart - this little thing can increase the level of absurdity by 10%, compared to the experience just now, this is really the sun!
Since it was already more than nine o'clock, Lin Li gave up his plan to go back to Sandy's house, and instead went directly to the Crab Castle King.
If everyone doesn't realize that the time is fast forward, there will be no one at this time, and you can check it yourself.
If time is fast forward, including residents, it is also time to go to work.
After tidying up his somewhat dirty wetsuit, Lin Li began to return.
Soon, he realized something was wrong.
- I didn't see a single person along the way.
And this is not only the section of the road where there was no one at the time of coming, but when Lin Li walked to the residential area of the nameless residents of Beechburg, where it should have been bustling at 9 a.m., there was no one left.
Even if the actual time is still early in the morning, it shouldn't be like this - no one notices the change in time.
The begging fish, who had never moved his nest next to the garbage heap, was also gone, but his carton hut was still in place.
"Anyone?"
"I'm having a problem, can someone help me?"
"There's a wallet here, who lost it?"
Lin Li tried to shout, but there was no response.
In the whole of Beechburg, there is not a single sound of a living person.
Lin Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva and pressed the pine cone sign on his chest.
"Connecting for you, please wait."
ββ¦β¦β
"Connecting for you, please wait."
ββ¦β¦β
"Sorry, we can't connect with each other at the moment."
Sandy, who returned in seconds, did not respond this time.
