When his consciousness gradually recovered, Lin Li slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was the broken glass. On the outside of the glass, there was a layer of sand that was flowing with the sea water.
——It’s the same glass I saw in the nightmare on the first night, except now it’s cracked.
And Lin Li finally knew that this was not the glass from Sandy's house at all, but the goggles on the [unscientific diving suit].
Lin Li stretched out his hand. Unlike in Squidward's fantasy world, he could now clearly feel the resistance of the water. After wiping away the sand in front of his eyes, Lin Li sat up.
Turbid and pickled.
The surrounding environment is simply ridiculously bad. All kinds of impurities are floating in the water, drifting freely with the surge of water. The visibility is only a few meters due to the obstruction of garbage and sewage.
It turns out that the fishy and unpleasant smell does not come from Sandy's house, nor does it come from Squidward's fantasy world, it simply comes from this 'reality'.
"Squidward? Squidward?"
The sand under his feet was very soft, and he would sink into it if he didn't stop. Lin Li could only explore carefully while shouting to the dark front.
Lin Li seemed to have stepped on something foreign on the sole of his foot. Lin Li looked down and saw that it was the remains of a starfish.
However, it seems that he has lived in sewage for too long, and his skin has too many unsightly pustules and stains.
It reminded Lin Li of that starfish.
This starfish wreckage is not big, only slightly larger than Lin Li's current palm, and its style is very realistic.
In other words, now, I am of normal body size.
Lin Li continued to take a step forward, only to find that there were a large number of such starfish densely packed in front of him, some of which were wreckage, and many more were still alive starfish.
The condition of the living starfish was even worse. Their bodies were twisted in an extremely unnatural way, and they were slowly climbing on the corpses of the same kind.
All the starfish were climbing in the same direction. Lin Li looked at the direction they were heading, but saw nothing. When he was about to follow them, there was movement behind him.
A tentacle as thick as Lin Li's waist stretched out from the dark sewage, quickly rolled up a starfish, and took it back into the darkness.
【do you know? All I could eat were starfish, starfish, starfish, starfish everywhere, what a disgusting species. Dirty, disgusting, and the feeling of swallowing it makes you want to vomit. Starfish are actually the creatures I hate most, bar none. 】
It turns out that these starfish are not rushing, but running for their lives.
Lin Li took a deep breath, turned his head, and walked towards the darkness.
Whether it is the main mission or the dungeon clearance mission, now it seems that they are all guiding me to kill Brother Squidward.
In other words, this is "liberation".
Lin Li also realized why Squidward was crazy. Living in such an environment, he had no protection from a diving suit and was being polluted by such an environment all the time.
Those short-lived starfish have been polluted like this. Maybe Squidward has lived here for a long time...
The teeth, pustules, and rotten flesh inside the tentacle suckers in the 'dream' are enough to explain the situation.
"Squidward."
As Lin Li continued to move forward, he finally saw clearly the huge thing hidden behind the darkness.
This was a giant octopus, but it was different from anything Lin Li had ever seen.
The whole body is white, which looks out of place in the dark world, but it is not the kind of festive white that is on the walls after the house is renovated, but the kind of white that is formed by boiling shriveled meat.
The skin is very smooth, but it is not like a normal octopus, but like a dry body with a layer of lubricant forced on it. It is rough yet smooth, weird and absurd.
At this time, Squidward was eating, and he no longer swallowed directly. Instead, he first smashed the starfish with his tentacles, then protruded a few small tentacles from his mouthparts, and stabbed hard into the center of the starfish's opening. Suck their flesh and blood.
The picture is a bit scary and weird.
"no……"
Lin Li's current mood is indescribable.
Although he was a little sad when he saw that his mission was to deal with Brother Squidward, considering that this was a copy of the system's magic modification, and that Brother Squidward personally asked him to do this, Lin Li's psychological pressure was almost gone.
Now...the psychological pressure is indeed gone, but...the physical pressure is completely back.
After all, Lin Li originally thought that in the so-called real world, Squidward should be an anthropomorphic octopus about the same height as himself.
Lin Li thought that it would not be difficult to deal with a madman. He knew the opponent's weaknesses and had an [unscientific diving suit] on him.
When I first saw the starfish, although it was a little different from what I had planned, it was not anthropomorphic, but it was just a small sea creature, like an octopus.
This decline in mood began the moment the tentacles appeared, and stopped at the moment when the complete appearance was clearly seen.
"What the hell is this an octopus?"
"You really want me to hit him on the back of the head?"
Lin Li let out the cry of the master in "Let the Bullets Fly" in his heart.
When Lin Li looked at Brother Squidward in silence, Brother Squidward also noticed him.
His eyes were filled with dark liquid, but the vertical pupils turned into a speck of white, and this speck of white gradually moved and converged on Lin Li's body.
After throwing away the eaten starfish, Squidward swam towards Lin Li. What was completely inconsistent with his bloated body was that Squidward moved extremely fast.
"Zhang... ugh!"
The huge tentacle hit Lin Li's waist directly. Even under the water, he could feel the huge impact. Lin Li couldn't stand at all and staggered and fell to the mud on the seabed.
"I'm going to...eat you."
Squidward's voice rang out from the giant beast in front of him.
His tentacles followed the words and wrapped around Lin Li's body. Then the other tentacle began to tap Lin Li's body continuously, trying to open Lin Li like a starfish.
This may be the reason for the cracks on the diving suit.
Lin Li didn't feel any discomfort. This [unscientific diving suit] was of really good quality, but his fingers kept dangling around, making him a little dizzy.
Lin Li stretched out his hand and hit the tentacles wrapped around his waist hard.
To Lin Li's surprise, Squidward's tentacles were very fragile. A simple hand knife directly penetrated the skin of the tentacles and cut into his body.
——Lin Li originally thought that this kind of terrifying beast should be very powerful in combat. What he just did was a subconscious struggle.
Is it because living in such an environment, the body can no longer support it?
In the fantasy world, the meat seen in the cellar appeared before his eyes.
Blue blood erupted, then disappeared and merged into the turbid sea water.
Squidward didn't react at all and didn't stop. Instead, he attacked Lin Li even more fiercely.
Lin Li continued to cut with his hands, but this action was still too slow, and the deeper he cut, the tighter and tougher the meat became.
"Uh-huh!"
Suddenly, the tentacle used to hit Lin Li suddenly slid down and hit his other tentacle.
The huge tentacle was directly cut off by Squidward himself. The tentacle, which had lost its source of power, naturally let go of Lin Li's waist, and Lin Li slowly fell to the ground.
"I'm going to...eat you."
He is still saying this.
However, he retracted the other tentacle, and even forced himself to turn his head, with his back to Lin Li, and began to slam his huge head against the seabed.
Mud was flying all over the sky, mixed with dark blue blood, and sad flowers bloomed.
"I'm going to... kill me."
he said.
