The giant shadow spurted out two streams of heat and put the iron chain around the alarm clock on his wrist with satisfaction.
Although the size of the "watch" does not match it, this giant shadow rarely has some traces of humanity on it.
Lu Li's blown hair and corners of his clothes slowly fell down. He couldn't tell what these strange figures were. The counter made a rattling sound at a constant speed. Contact with them would not reduce Lu Li's sanity.
While he was thinking, a huge shadow descended. Lu Li raised his head. The giant shadow clenched its right paw into a fist with the watch on it, and stopped above the dining table less than half a meter away from Lu Li's head.
Lu Li was silent for a few seconds, then stretched out his fist and bumped it.
"Gululu..."
The giant shadow's dull muttering sounded a little more cheerful. It retracted its paws, picked up its wooden bowl, and poured the food into its huge mouth.
Compared to the contrast between the shark-headed monster shadow and the eyes next door, the contrast between the giant shadow and the eyes is even more exaggerated - the wooden bowl is not even bigger than one of its teeth.
This scene made Lu Li aware of some secret information and fell into thinking.
Octopus shadow, shark head shadow...
He raised his head and observed the outline of the giant shadow.
It has limbs like a human, but has an extremely oppressive and huge body, with a flat and wide head, and looks... like a whale.
Lu Li turned around to observe other strange figures.
A frog-shaped monster with a hunched back, webbed feet, and huge eyes, a cylindrical torso and head, and an awkward snake-shaped monster with a pair of human legs.
They more or less possess some of the characteristics of fish.
Lu Li felt that he was unraveling a corner of the ship's mysterious veil.
Bang——
The wooden bowl fell heavily on the table, and the table let out an overwhelming whine. But to the whale monster, it might have been "light".
Lu Li suddenly reached out and touched the bowl of food in front of him and pushed it in front of the whale monster.
He didn't know if food the size of a wooden bowl could satisfy the whale shadow, but it certainly wouldn't be full.
And it just so happened that I had an extra portion of food.
"Gululu!"
The whale monster made a brisk grunting sound that resounded throughout the cafeteria. Some of the monsters who were eating looked over and saw the whale monster raising its claws and slapping the unlucky maintenance man at the opposite table.
But when it was still half a meter away from Lu Li's head, the claw stopped and did not slap Lu Li's head into his chest.
Unable to hold back his emotions, the strange whale figure suddenly made an ethereal and melodious sound that was no longer sticky.
The sound was like the cry of a whale.
"Gululu..."
There was a murmur like a whisper in the cafeteria.
After the whale monster finished singing, it grabbed something from its body with its claws and spread it out in front of Lu Li.
It was a bag watch, lying quietly in the claws of the whale monster, as insignificant as a grain of sand. But to Lu Li, its size was just right - it was an item made by humans.
Maybe it was a reward for exchanging with Lu Li, or maybe it was a show of goodwill towards Lu Li.
Lu Li picked up the watch and opened the cover. The inner glass was covered with a black substance. He wiped it off to reveal the time behind the glass.
The hour hand points to 5, the minute hand points to 6, and the time is frozen at 5:30.
Lu Li tried to twist the edge spring, but found that it was broken and could not adjust the time.
This pocket watch is broken.
Lu Li nodded to the whale figure and put away the pocket watch. Maybe it would come in handy at some point.
The whale monster picked up the wooden bowl that Lu Li gave him and poured it into the bloody mouth. Even though the chefs gave Lu Li twice as much food as the other monsters, it was still insignificant to the whale monster.
It just makes it eat more than usual.
The whale shadow put down the wooden bowl and began to make a continuous low muttering sound, as if it was narrating something to Lu Li.
Lu Li pretended to listen, and his eyes fell on a dining table in front of him on the right.
A deformed monster moved slowly, grabbing the eyeball from the wooden bowl and putting it into its mouth. It had no teeth in its mouth and its chewing power was not strong. The eyeball was squeezed around in the mouth like a marble, and finally got into the throat.
——
The deformed monster pinched its neck, grunting in pain, and spat out an intact eyeball, which fell to the ground and rolled to Lu Li's feet, where it hit his feet and stopped.
The deformed figure that had coughed out its eyeball was still looking down for the missing eyeball. After searching for a long time and not finding it, it returned its attention to the wooden bowl of food.
At this moment, Lu Li lowered his head, picked up the elastic eyeball, and put it in his pocket.
What does it need to help it crush food, such as a pair of dentures?
And Lu Li knew what to do.
There was a total of ten minutes of eating time. When the time on the whale's "watch" pointed to 11:52, a rapid ringing of the bell rang.
Eating time is over.
There was a sound of tables and chairs moving, and the strange figures left their seats one after another and rushed towards the exit of the canteen.
"Gululu..."
The whale phantom muttered to Lu Li and walked towards the exit. The phantoms next to him all tried to avoid it, especially the ferocious-looking shark phantom.
Lu Li looked at the strange, deformed figure that had just left his seat and followed it.
The monsters left the mess hall, walked through the corridor full of climbing vines with eyeballs, and returned to the lower cabin.
Lu Li noted down all the rooms that the strange figures entered, and at the same time watched the deformed strange figures walk into a corridor that he had never been to, and entered behind a door. He noted down the location here, and followed the thinned team back to
Morgue.
To a certain extent, this is his office.
Lu Li walked to the row of morgues by the door. The dentures were still inside. He used a crowbar to pick up the dentures. He looked at a certain morgue that was still locked and left the room.
Knock knock knock——
In front of the door where the deformed figure walked in, Lu Li knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, and a deformed figure appeared behind the door.
After briefly scanning the room, there was only one desk in the small cabin, so it was impossible to determine its duties.
"Gululu?"
The deformed figure made a strange muttering sound.
Quietly, Lu Li raised the crowbar, letting the deformed monster see a pair of dentures on the crowbar.
"Gululu?"
Lu Li pointed at the dentures and then at its mouth, indicating the use of this thing.
The deformed figure tentatively took off the dentures. It might have recognized the thing, and put the dentures into its mouth regardless of the black substance on them.
Lu Li promptly took out the eyeball from his pocket and handed it over.
The deformed figure picked up the eyeball with its flipper-like palm, stuffed it into its mouth and bit it off.
Poof——
The eyeballs burst under the pressure of the teeth, and the viscous liquid filled the entire mouth.
"Gululu!"
The deformed monster jumped happily on the spot for a long time. Remembering that Lu Li was still standing by the door, he held the door with his webbed hands and closed the door——
It seems that it has no intention of paying Lu Li.
Bang!
A fist holding a crowbar was pressed against the door that was about to close.
Lu Li stretched out his other hand and stretched it flat in front of the deformed monster.
