Chapter 22 22. "He is behind you now."
"Patrick?!"
Lin Li looked at the face in front of him with dumbfounded eyes, and because he was too surprised, he spoke directly.
"Are you finally willing to talk, Patrick? It's such a familiar name. The last person called me that too." 'Patrick' raised his head. It seemed that the light was a bit dazzling. He didn't feel comfortable with it, so he lowered his head instantly.
Said softly,
"I think you must have mistakenly recognized the person. I don't have a name. You can just call me Haixing."
Haixing seemed to want to get up, and there was the sound of chains rubbing in front of him. Then his expression of exertion showed, and he leaned on the wall again:
"It seems it's quite early now, and my legs haven't recovered yet."
Lin Li moved the flashlight downwards a little.
Lin Li's brows furrowed fiercely. The scene was a bit bloody. The hands and feet of the starfish in front of him seemed to have been cut off, and a huge hole was even dug in his stomach.
His body was covered with acne wounds and developed pustules, which looked very disgusting.
Blue blood was continuously flowing out from the wound, staining the entire ground, and even spreading to Lin Li's feet. When he raised his feet, there was a sound of the shoe uppers separating from the sticky water.
However, the starfish's powerful self-healing and regeneration ability allows him to recover at an extremely fast speed. Whether it is the cross-section of his hands and feet, or his tattered belly, there is fresh flesh and blood squirming at this moment.
"Do you want to know why I am locked up here?" Haixing asked with a smile, and blue blood was overflowing between his teeth.
Lin Li did not answer. The prototype of an extremely unacceptable answer had already appeared in his mind when all the clues were connected.
It's just that he still doesn't want to believe the answer in his mind.
Didn't it say it was the world of "SpongeBob SquarePants"? Didn't the introduction say it was only slightly modified? Was it just a little bit or a tiny bit? Didn't this completely ruin my childhood?
Lin Li had a saying in his mind: Mom sells batches, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.
"Tell me." Lin Li nodded, but his voice was a little unclear.
"Have you ever eaten delicious crab patty?" Haixing asked.
"Only one bite."
"Is my meat delicious?"
Speaking of this, Haixing seemed to have a crazy smile on his face.
“It doesn’t taste good, it’s even disgusting.
I finally understand why the Krabby Patty I ate was so terrible, because it was not the Krabby Patty of my childhood at all, but your product."
Lin Li sighed and said the following words very softly, more like talking to himself.
"Not delicious? I thought you would also say it was delicious." Haixing said with a smile, then he lowered his head and looked at his belly, "I heard that in this city called Bikiniburg, everyone
They all like Krabby Patty.
To be honest, I was curious and tasted my own meat. How should I put it, it’s not delicious or not. I just felt it was very strange, even if it was roasted, I felt the same.
If I didn't have any hands now, I could show you the scene."
His two 'newbies', which had just grown out and were slightly smaller than the wound, were trying hard to move towards his belly, but unfortunately they couldn't touch them.
This starfish gave Lin Li a feeling that he was on the verge of madness, or that he had gone crazy in the midst of this endless torture.
"So you want to say that the patties in the Krabby Patties are made from your meat, right?" Lin Li asked.
"It seems that you have also surmised it, of course, and this is not 'what I want to say', but a 'fact'." Haixing nodded.
"Look over there, there's a machine for making meatloaf." Starfish said as he turned his head towards a dark area.
After taking a few steps further to put some distance between him and the starfish, Lin Li illuminated the area with a flashlight.
"Are you still worried that I am plotting against you?" Haixing's voice was full of ridicule, and he noticed Lin Li's caution.
Lin Li didn't pay attention, his focus was on the meat pie making machine.
Mixing machines, conveyor belts, and round molds are all available.
"Is there electricity and lights here?" Lin Li asked.
"Of course there is. There is a switch on the wall behind the corner."
Lin Li found and turned on the switch. There were two in total, one was responsible for lighting, and the other was pressed. The machine next to it started running and made a huge noise.
There was a large bucket of starch next to the corner, leaning on it, and a huge machete. Lin Li stepped forward and took it in his hand. The blue blood on it had dried and turned black.
"This knife is already very blunt, and it's not agile at all when cutting my limbs." Noting Lin Li's action, Haixing said calmly, "So Mr. Crab sometimes likes to use its pliers to directly cut off my limbs.
limbs.
I prefer a knife, because it is much faster and the pain when cutting is much less than using pliers. So, can I ask you to sharpen this knife for me? This way he will use the knife more in the future."
"How long have you been locked up here?" Lin Li asked instead of responding to the request.
"How long? What an interesting question," Haixing shook his head, looking at the surrounding darkness, and then turned to look at Lin Li:
"Do you think I can remember how long I have been here in such an environment? The only creature I can see is Mr. Crab, and he doesn't come at a fixed time. Who knows the exact time?
What about the number? How many years, how many decades? Forgot, it’s not important anymore.”
"..."
"Do you know the complete secret recipe of meatloaf?" He didn't nod and still remembered his mission. He put away his thoughts and told himself that this was just a system copy world. After adjusting his mood, he asked.
"Understanding this situation, do you still want to know the secret recipe? Yesterday - probably yesterday, I don't remember very clearly.
The little guy who came here originally thought I was the protector of the secret recipe, so he threatened me with a gun and asked me to tell him. What a stupid and cute guy.
Then after I told him the real situation, he ran away in panic."
Haixing shook his head and spoke slowly, as if he was recalling his encounter with the ruffian boss.
"Is it a plankton that's a little tall and green all over?"
"That's right." Haixing nodded.
"What happened to him?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen him since I ran out. If you see him, say hello to him for me." Haixing seemed to think about it again and added: "If he is still alive."
"So, do you know the real secret ingredient of the meatloaf, including its proportions?"
"I know, Mr. Krabs often says in front of me, 70% my meat, 29.9% starch, 0.1% Mr. Krabs' meat, plus a little bit of crushed coral to increase the taste, it's that simple."
Starfish didn't hide it, but spoke frankly.
Lin Lizheng was planning to verify with the system.
"Do you know?" Haixing suddenly laughed maniacally and spoke at the same time, attracting Lin Li's attention.
"What."
"I suddenly remembered that Mr. Krabs installed a sensing device here. He knew you were coming."
Lin Li looked stern.
"Do you still know?"
"What."
"Why do I suddenly think of it now? Hahahahaha——" Haixing continued.
"because--"
"He is behind you now."
Haixing tilted his head, his eyes were so crazy that he couldn't see reason, and he was staring at Lin Li...'s back.
[Absurdity level: 50%]
He is a starfish, not Patrick.
How could I bear to persecute President Pai?
Speaking of the back, I remembered a horror story I heard when I was very young, "Back to back, are you comfortable?"
It was very short, but it amazed my childhood!
This is the py I cheated on today!
