One hundred and twenty-nine. Maintenance workers

The broken door latch, which smelled of dampness and mold, fell to the floor.

The carved wooden door is now passable.

Lu Li held the door handle and pulled it gently. The bottom of the wooden door made a rough friction sound with the floor, revealing a gap.

A pair of deep black eyes peered out of the door after exploring the gap.

There was a dark black wooden corridor, and the sea breeze came from the other side of the corridor carrying a fishy smell that was several times stronger than during the day. The oil lamps on the wall swayed in the wind, emitting a light black hazy light.

Is this the cabin?

The gap in the wooden door opened a little, and Lu Li leaned out. There was no figure in the corridor, and the sea breeze blew in with unidentifiable sounds.

Lu Li hid behind the door and observed for a few minutes, but no one appeared in the corridor.

He looked back at the morgue where the movement had subsided, grabbed the crowbar, and walked sideways out of the door.

The door closed gently behind you.

Lu Li leaned against the edge of the dark corridor and quietly walked towards the direction where the sea breeze was blowing.

At regular intervals on both sides of the cabin corridor, wooden doors of unknown purpose appear, and they are tightly closed at this time——

Squeak——

Suddenly, a few meters in front of Lu Li was suddenly pulled away, and a strange shadow came from the room into the corridor.

It was a strange figure with an octopus-like lower body covered with tentacles. It discovered Lu Li and made an incomprehensible urgent grunt at Lu Li.

Lu Li, who touched his lower back in caution for a moment, stopped his next move.

The octopus shadow opposite had no intention of attacking, and its muttering sounded like it was urging itself, rather than warning of an attack.

A slimy tentacle on the lower limb of the octopus shadow lifted up and closed the door. Then the tentacle hooked towards Lu Li, turned around and moved forward.

After moving some distance, the octopus shadow stopped and turned around, only to find that Lu Li was still standing where he was.

Gululu...

It made a sticky grunting sound similar to dissatisfaction.

Lu Li frowned and took a few steps forward. The octopus shadow shook its head and turned around to continue moving forward.

It wanted Lu Li to follow it.

Lu Li, who couldn't understand this scene, thought of something and raised his hand to touch his face.

My hands were slippery and cold, and my face was covered with black substance.

Apart from his body shape, Lu Li was no different from them.

Lu Li, who was thoughtful, followed behind the octopus monster. After moving forward for more than ten meters, a new corridor appeared on the left. The octopus monster in front turned and turned into the corridor on the left.

Lu Li slowed down his pace, regained his speed after a few seconds, and followed the octopus shadow into the corridor on the left.

This corridor is the same as the previous one, with wooden doors appearing on the wall at regular intervals.

The octopus shadow passed by the first door and stopped in front of the second wooden door.

Gululu...

One of its tentacles opened the door and turned its head towards Lu Li, urging him to come over quickly.

Lu Li walked to the side of the octopus monster, his right hand never leaving the handle of the gun.

Gululu...

The tentacles clicked on the door, and the octopus shadow jumped behind the door.

Lu Li did not move. What appeared in front of him was the plane of the conveyor belt. This door led to the kitchen, and the exit of the door was actually the ceiling of the "kitchen".

No wonder Lu Li didn't find any other exit from the "kitchen".

The octopus shadow once again made an urging sound.

Lu Li took a deep breath, took two steps back, then accelerated his steps and kicked his legs towards the back of the door——

Just as Lu Li expected, the gravity changed the moment he entered the door. The gravity changed from Lu Li's back to his feet. He fell straight behind the door and fell to the floor of the "kitchen" with a muffled sound, splashing a black substance.

.

Dang clang——

The crowbar fell beside him.

The height of nearly three meters and the speed at which he rushed into the door combined, making it difficult for Lu Li to withstand the impact.

Lu Li bent his legs, but was unable to relieve the force of his falling. His knees hit the floor with a muffled sound.

Under the urging of the octopus shadow, Lu Li reluctantly stood up. Lu Li frowned at the numbness and sharp pain in his knees and soles, but it was only pain and no injury.

If it were a solid ground, he might have cracked his bones.

Lu Li picked up the crowbar and looked up at the "chefs" gathered around him holding machetes. They made sticky grunting sounds to communicate with the octopus shadow.

The octopus monster seemed to be their boss. The huge backs of the "chefs" were slightly hunched, and their mutterings were recognizably docile.

Lu Li quietly observed the end of their exchange. The "chefs" and the octopus turned their heads and their eyes fell on the crowbar in Lu Li's hand.

Lu Li instantly understood what they wanted him to do.

Because the root cause of the failure was him.

Under the gaze of the monsters, Lu Li walked to the conveyor belt where he stuffed the sea snake and squatted down. This action caused pain in his knees, but it was still within the tolerance range.

The conveyor belt has stopped, and the gears are filled with black and red minced meat and water snake remains.

Lu Li spent a few minutes using a crowbar to clean out the debris between the gears. He stood up with his knees concealed and nodded to the strange figures.

They understood Lu Li's movements, and a "chef" returned to the stove and turned on the conveyor belt switch.

Buzz——

The conveyor belt resumed operation, and the gears began to rotate extremely smoothly.

There is a reason why Lu Li filled it with part of the black substance as lubricating oil.

The fish carcasses on the conveyor belt were again carried to the stove, and the "chefs" returned to the stove one after another. The sound of chopping meat sounded again, covering up the buzzing sound of the conveyor belt.

Gululu——

The octopus shadow seemed to have said something to Lu Li, and its grunting voice was filled with satisfaction. It moved to the door on the ceiling, and its tentacles suddenly curled up and straightened instantly, leaving a pool of sticky black substance on the spot, and its body shot towards the ceiling.

door.

"..."

Lu Li stared at the ceiling in silence.

Is he going to leave the morgue again?

Although this time Lu Li didn't need to destroy the conveyor belt and take the opportunity to escape.

Now he may have been recognized by these strange figures as the same kind and crew member.

The jobs of these monsters seem to be related to their body shape, or they get corresponding jobs because of their body shape.

Although Lu Li's human body shape is new, there is nothing special about it.

So your current job...is a maintenance worker?

"Gululu..."

There was vague muttering behind him, and a chef stood behind Lu Li, talking to Lu Li, and finally raised his short, deformed arm and pointed at the door on the ceiling.

Lu Li understood its movements and nodded.

"Gululu..."

The chef muttered, picked up Lu Li, exploded with strength in his arms, and threw Lu Li towards the door.

It used just the right amount of force to fly towards the ceiling. Lu Li, who had passed through the door, was instantly captured by the changing gravity and fell to the floor. He accidentally bumped his knee and felt a sharp pain.

Lu Li slowly got up. On the kitchen surface inside the door, the "chef" who had thrown him up had returned to the stove and started working.

Apart from the fact that they almost chopped Lu Li into pieces, they were still very friendly.
