Following the slowly moving team, one minute later, they arrived at their destination: a hall.
The "chefs" who had interacted with Lu Li twice left the team, walked behind the display window, and stood in front of wooden barrels filled with food.
The canteen is open for dinner.
The team consciously lined up in front of the window, waiting to receive food.
The team came to a standstill, and only when the strange shadow left holding the wooden bowl, the team would move forward a short distance.
Gulu, gulu, gulu——
Vague, sticky, sharp, dull, and messy exchanges sounded among the teams.
"Gululu?"
A cold and slippery claw suddenly poked Lu Li's shirt. He lowered his head. Standing next to him was a short strange figure less than half his height. It was holding a wrench that was heavy and huge for it, looking up at him.
What is it asking?
Lu Li probably guessed it, after all, it was holding a wrench and he was holding a crowbar - they had the same profession.
But he couldn't answer, he just raised the crowbar silently.
"Gululu..."
The short strange figure lowered his head and muttered with a certain sense of loss.
It might have asked Lu Li why he could grow so tall.
The number of strange figures in front of Lu Li gradually decreased. Lu Li, who was close to the window, could see the food that the "chef" put into the wooden bowl: a light black sticky substance with three eyeballs floating on it.
As expected.
At least they're not eating black stuff.
What is puzzling is that if they eat this kind of thing, where are the massive amounts of food that are constantly being made in the "kitchen" sent?
In other words, the fish meat is prepared as food for the upper cabins, such as the strange shadows on this level.
While he was thinking about it, the huge monster in front of Lu Li took half of his bowl of food, grumbled dissatisfied with the lack of food, and turned around to walk away.
"Gululu..."
The "chefs" who were busy cooking recognized Lu Li and murmured something like a greeting. They took out a wooden bowl from the bowl rack, stirred the wooden barrel a few times with a spoon, and filled Lu Li with a bowl full of black goo.
It's something that might spill out if shaken a little.
thump--
The chef who was standing in front of the second wooden barrel serving the food gave Lu Li six frog eyes, which fell into the wooden bowl and made slow ripples.
Lu Li put the crowbar on his waist, silently took the wooden bowl the size of a human head, carried it to an empty seat and sat down.
In addition to muttering, there was also the sound of eating.
Lu Li didn't touch the food on the table in front of him. Of course, he couldn't eat it, but now he had to find a way to make the bowl empty.
No one knows if there will be any punishment for not finishing the food.
Lu Li observed his surroundings while he was thinking. Dozens of strange figures were scattered throughout the cafeteria. Lu Li did not find the horned figure among these strange figures.
This time the meal was served only by these strange figures in the lower cabin.
Continuing to move his eyes, he fell on the burly strange figure on the table next to him. Its head was spindle-shaped, like the head of a shark. It was pinching the eyeballs in the wooden bowl with one hand, not paying attention to the silk thread pulled out of the wooden bowl.
Fall on your body, put it into your open mouth, and chew it.
Its fist-sized eyes are as small as snacks to it.
After looking at it for a while, Lu Li looked away and looked further away before it noticed.
The walls and ceiling of the cafeteria also have those eyes with vertical pupils, and they are the same size as the eyes in the wooden bowl.
So they can not only be used for surveillance, but also for eating?
While he was thinking, a large shadow poured down.
A giant creature walked up to Lu Li's desk, its head almost touching the ceiling, and it sat on a chair that was tiny compared to it.
"Gululu." With a muffled muttering like thunder, a black shadow rolled down onto the table from the giant creature's paws that could hold Lu Li.
It threw an alarm clock to Lu Li.
The alarm clock is tied with an iron chain on both sides, forming a ring as thick as a barrel. This is a very trendy idea. At least in Belfast, I have never seen anyone wearing a bag watch as a wrist watch.
It wears this thing on its wrist like a watch
It thought Lu Li could fix this thing with a crowbar.
Lu Li shook his head. He guessed the intention of the giant shadow opposite him, but he couldn't do it.
After all, he is not a real repairman, and even if he was, he would not be able to repair an alarm clock.
call--
Two dense streams of air emerged from the giant shadow's nostrils, blowing Lu Li's black hair down, causing the corners of his clothes to tremble, and the thick and sharp claws were raised to grab Lu Li——
Lu Li reached out and picked up the alarm clock.
He first turned the spring on the back of the alarm clock, but the hands did not move. He put the alarm clock close to his ear and listened. The subtle sound of gears inside indicated that the spring was working, and there was no problem here.
The giant shadow's claws retracted behind the table.
The gears were working, so the problem was probably somewhere else. Lu Li turned the alarm clock to the front.
The glass cover is criss-crossed with tiny scratches, which make it difficult to see the pointer.
This glass cover was a rare sight for Lu Li to see anything other than black.
Lu Li raised the crowbar and signaled to the giant shadow that he wanted to start repairs. Of course, the maintenance did not require a crowbar. He just wanted to prevent the giant shadow from doing too much.
Even if the psychic gun can still be used, it will be difficult to cause effective damage to this giant shadow that is four to five meters high.
Lu Li first took off the outer ring of the alarm clock. After losing its restraint, the glass cover automatically fell off. Lu Li caught it and put it aside.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the giant shadow opposite, but it didn't raise its paws the size of a dining table again.
The internal pointer was clearly revealed in front of him. Lu Li suddenly noticed that the pointer was trembling slightly, but it could not be lifted. It was always trembling at the position of 37 minutes.
It seems like there is no power, or the pointer is loose.
The former can probably be ruled out because the clockwork has already been wound up.
Lu Li stretched out his finger, put it on the minute hand, and moved it upward, but after his finger left, the minute hand immediately dropped down.
Moving his gaze towards the center of the alarm clock, Lu Li saw some black material seeping out from the edge of the cylinder.
It became clear that the black substance that appeared on the cylinder made the pointer on the round rod too lubricated and difficult to move.
Lu Li took off the hour, minute, second and red timing hands, wiped off the black substance on the cylinder with his fingers, and put them back on.
Tick tock—tick tock—
The alarm clock resumed operation and made a small sound.
After putting on the glass cover and the ring, Lu Li returned the alarm clock with the chain in front of the giant figure.
"Gululu..."
With a muffled mumble of satisfaction, the giant shadow used two paws to hold the alarm clock, which was no bigger than its fingernails, using movements that were incompatible with its giant body. It stretched one paw to the back of the alarm clock and turned the minute hand to adjust the time.
.
Lu Li saw that the time had been adjusted to 11:45.
This seems to represent this time.
Lu Li thought thoughtfully, if he considered this encounter as part of solving the mystery in the secret room, what he would get... was the exact time.
Does time mean anything?
For example, if you wait until daytime, there may be new changes.
