"No one in this world understands me, except you, Mr. Lin Li."
"You are my second beam of light in this world, Mr. Lin Li."
Because he was so excited, Squidward kept repeating similar words.
It's just that the 'light' in Brother Squidward's current condition is not very good.
Lin Li was in low spirits and walked slowly out of the door of the portrait room with a slightly frivolous step. His cheeks were dry and his lips were white.
There was no other reason. It was fine at first. Brother Squidward just took Lin Li to see his paintings or his sculptures. These were all acceptable.
However, when you really need to hear Squidward playing his recorder up close, everything is not so wonderful.
Lin Li only felt that the abuses made by big stars outside were more beautiful than this voice. He was "wandering in the ocean of music" at such a close distance, but he couldn't cover his ears. He even had to maintain an intoxicated attitude and praise.
Physical damage: 0.000001, mental damage: 9999999.
When he came out, the sky was already dark blue, and a few undersea stars were hanging in the sky. This showed how long Lin Li had been tortured, and he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea.
"Welcome to come back tomorrow, Mr. Lin Li. I actually have a lot of art at home, but I have stored it in the storage room. I will wipe them down at night and share them with you tomorrow."
After sending Lin Li to the door, Squidward said with a sincere smile.
"We will definitely meet again tomorrow. I heard that you also work at the Krusty Krab. I plan to go to your store tomorrow to experience working at the Krusty Krab. I can see you in the morning."
"With all due respect, Mr. Lin Li," Squidward shook his head at Lin Li, "You don't want to work in a shabby place like the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs is simply a scumbag."
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing." Lin Li said with a smile, "I'm going back first."
"Okay, stay safe and be careful on the road!"
When the door closed behind him, Lin Li softened and let out a long sigh of relief.
The night was already dark, and the diving suit showed that the time was approaching ten o'clock in the evening. Lin Li decided to go back to Sandy's house to sleep.
Spongebob and Patrick were still sitting outside the Pineapple House, but now they were facing each other, smiling, and both covering their ears.
"What are you doing?" Lin Li asked as he passed them.
"..."
Oh, they covered their ears and couldn't hear.
Lin Li did not ask further questions, waved to the two of them, turned around, and returned the same way.
"When Squidward was cutting wood with the saw, we would play the game 'cover your ears.'" After a few steps, Patrick's voice came from behind:
"This is the most fun game I've played this year."
"This game is really good." Lin Li did not look back, waved his hand, and said with a smile. If Squidward played his recorder, Lin Li swore that he would also want to play this game.
"Patrick! You can hear Lin Li's voice, you cheated!" was SpongeBob's high-pitched voice.
"Did I cheat? Oh! I seem to have really cheated!" Patrick was a little panicked, and then he seemed to be really smart: "But Spongebob, you heard the sound of Lin Li and I talking, did you also Cheated?"
"Uh...it seems so."
After a second of silence, two people's wanton laughter came from behind. It was extremely contagious, and Lin Li's smile naturally aroused.
Although the system was unreliable, at least in the first dungeon world, there was no fighting or killing.
"By the way, SpongeBob, I have a question." The honest Patrick Star has another question.
"What?"
"The 'Lin Li' you just mentioned, who is he?"
"That's the one."
"Isn't that Sandy?"
"No, no, he is Lin Li."
"Impossible. Wearing a diving suit. In this world, only Sandy is right!" Patrick's eyes widened. He twisted his body mechanically and looked at the direction Lin Li was leaving. In his eyes, it was like Bloodshot.
Lin Li had already walked away, leaving only a small dot.
The sea water was a little distorted, and there was no one around Patrick. He was obviously talking just now, but now, SpongeBob is no longer around.
--
"Connecting for you, please - beep." Lin Li pressed the pine cone button in front of him.
Even before the machine finished speaking the first tone, Sandy connected.
It’s really a matter of seconds.
When she told him that she was almost at her house, Sandy said she had left the door open for herself.
After walking to the isolation room, Lin Li took off his diving suit when the sea water receded.
It can only be said that the quality of the items in this kind of anime is very high. After wearing it for a long time, there was no water on my body at all.
I turned the handle on the door. Because I had used the intercom on the diving suit in advance, the door was opened directly.
"Sandy? Where are you?" There was no Sandy outside, so Lin Li asked.
"I'm here, helping you prepare your sleeping place today." Sandy's voice came from inside the oak house.
"That's very welcome. Thank you Sandy. When I get back to Texas, I will tell everyone everything you did to me."
When he walked into the tree house, he saw Sandy making an extra small bed for him, and he quickly stepped forward to help and said.
"You're welcome, it's all what I should do," Sandy was very helpful, but she said this verbally, "Have you had dinner? Do you want me to prepare some for you?"
"No, my body has already stored enough nutrients before coming here." Lin Li shook his head and refused. There is no problem in trying the food on the seabed, but the unpleasant smell was always present in Sandy's house when he first came, and it still exists now. Existence is really unappetizing.
"Can you humans also store fat now?" Sandy asked curiously.
"No, it relies on technology." Lin Li was vague, then remembered something and reminded: "By the way, Sandy, I suggest you remember to lock the door when you hibernate in the future to prevent 'thieves'."
"It's not necessary. You may not know it when you first come here, but everyone in Bikini Castle is very friendly."
"Yeah." Lin Li didn't say anything anymore, but he still remembered the episode where Sandy hibernated: all the hair on his body was torn off by the 'friendly' Patrick Star and Spongebob with tape, and it hurt just to look at it.
"Ah, yeah." Sandy yawned, patted her mouth, and walked upstairs in the tree house, "That's enough, you can sleep here tonight, and I'll sleep upstairs. If you have any questions, just come to me. I'm so sleepy, so I'll go to bed first. Good night."
"Goodnight, Sandy."
Lin Li was also a little sleepy, especially his tortured soul, who urgently needed to rest. He turned off the lights on this floor and turned over to sleep.
…
"Bo."
A crisp sound, like a suction cup being tightly attached and then released, rang in Lin Li's ears.
Lin Li turned over and continued to sleep.
"Click, click, click."
It seemed like something hard was rubbing against the glass.
Lin Li impatiently opened a crack, trying to see clearly the source of the sound.
He saw densely packed teeth.
Circles formed by countless fangs, wrapped around a circle, squirmed in front of his eyes through the glass. In the middle of the teeth, there was scarlet flesh, looming in the pickled sewage, greasy and disgusting. .
It was covered with huge pustules.
"Bo."
Another pustule burst, and a rich green liquid flowed out from it, merging with the surrounding dark and dirty water, blocking Lin Li's sight.
"Haha——" Lin Li's eyes widened, he stood up, and took a deep breath.
Looking up, only the light brown ceiling is exposed in the darkness.
Looking around, there was nothing around, but Sandy's snoring could be heard in his ears.
It just seemed like a nightmare.
Worried, Lin Li walked out of the treehouse and looked outside the glass wall - in his dream, there was glass in front of him to block everything.
The moon and stars are sparse and the scenery is just right. This is a beautiful underwater world without any toothy monsters.
"It's over. I must have listened to Squidward's recorder too much, and it has directly affected my spirit. No, I have to find an excuse tomorrow night."
"The increase in favorability is a bit hurtful," Lin Li murmured to himself.
In the lower left corner of the sight, the illusory value has changed at some point.
