The moment Xiao Snail appeared, his two snail eyes began to collide with each other rapidly, making a golden sound like knocking a wooden fish. The sound waves like waves destroyed the fog in Taylor's mind and the obstacles to his self-cognition, allowing him to recognize himself faster, more clearly and more rationally.

“You, who are you?”

Looking at Xiao Wo, whose eyes revealed calmness and wisdom, Taylor, who had a splitting headache, subconsciously took two steps back. He looked at Xiao Wo as if he was looking at a monster. The severe pain in his head, the rapidly flowing images and the inexplicable waves of information made him even more miserable.

Xiao Wo ignored his shocked look and just slowly crawled forward. Then, like a rational and elegant scholar, she spoke in a charming voice.

"The world has been running like this for too long, so long that even I, the backup left by my master, have almost forgotten my past. I only remember that I am a little snail named SpongeBob..."

"It seems that my life has always been changing back and forth, and is full of different changes, just like that guy, the guy in the starfish, he is changing, he seems to be a little lost, but also a little steadfast..."

"Until a while ago, the world underwent a huge change. Some unknown golden particles with instincts seemed to have merged into that guy's body. This made me suddenly realize that it seemed that I should play my role..."

As Xiao Snail crawled forward, he shook his two big eyeballs, motioning Taylor to follow. As he walked, he chattered about the changes over the years and his true identity.

Behind Xiao Wo was Taylor, who had fully awakened and understood his true identity. Taylor had calm eyes, and his sparkling pupils were shining with magical light. The laws of space in his body seemed to have recovered at this moment. He looked at the snail in front of him that was leading him forward, and spoke softly.

"This special witchcraft item has completely bound every particle factor in my body. Logically, I should have fallen into a hallucination of certain death, until my body decayed and my soul collapsed and I died. Why did you come to wake me up?"

After waking up, Taylor has recognized what stage he is in. His soul has been separated from his body, which is a very dangerous phenomenon, and his soul is now trapped in this super-large illusion space.

This is a dream space between nothingness and reality, constructed by dreams and huge spiritual power.

"I woke you up because of my master. This is the instruction he left me. It was only when you came here that my backup plan was truly activated. Even as a backup plan, I didn't know what I should do. I only understood it after seeing you."

After listening to Xiaowo's explanation, Taylor nodded in understanding, and then continued to ask.

"What exactly is the situation now? What is the nature of the illusion space here? What is its function? What kind of impact does it have?"

Xiaowo took Taylor to the kitchen, opened a bag of snail food and poured it into his bowl. He ate while meeting Taylor's strange eyes and spoke.

"Don't look at me like that. I've lived here for long enough, and many habits are engraved in my mind. I always feel weird if I don't eat something."

After a pause, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Xiao Wo's eyes. After swallowing the snail food in his mouth, he said lightly.

"The essence of this place is actually a spiritual space formed by the body and mental power of a giant octopus monster. It has absorbed all the defects and hidden dangers contained in the extraordinary particle factors in your body, that is, all the instinctive will in your blood. This is also the ability of the octopus monster, absorbing the origin and dream creation."

"If you want to talk about his role, you can just think of him as a copy. The octopus has completely absorbed the instinctive suppression in those extraordinary particle factors. He is now a monster, but he is just trying his best to endure."

Xiao Wo sighed with a look of regret, but when he mentioned the word "murder", there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes and his pronunciation became a little unclear.

Oh, I see…

Taylor felt that he seemed to understand. As for what the master behind him intended to do to help him, or what means he used to test him, this was not within his current consideration. It was completely meaningless and unnecessary.

When a big shot like this gives you something good, just accept it. You will definitely have to pay it back in the future, but if you don’t accept it now, I guess in the future, uh... there may be no future.

While Taylor was thinking, he found that something pushed his lower back. He turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Snail who was still chewing a snail in his mouth. Xiao Snail was pushing Taylor forward with his eyes.

"Just like you came here to see me this time and made me understand, the octopus must have understood it too. Go find him. I'm sure you know his name. Maybe you can listen to his story or just kill him. This will allow you to truly escape from this illusion space that seems real."

After saying that, Xiao Snail turned around and opened several more bags of snail food.

"All this will come to an end. I guess you must feel bad being a fish every day. I have to hurry. I need to eat more of these snail food. Once you kill the other party, or you are killed by the other party, you won't be able to eat it if you want to. I've been used to it for many years..."

After muttering to himself, the little snail jumped up and dove into a pile of snail food to devour it.

As if they had telepathic connection, Taylor walked a few steps to the round window of the pineapple house and saw a slightly golden tentacle extending from Squidward's house next door, shaking and waving at him.

"It's really amazing. When I talk about art with you, I really think your art has a lot to recommend it, Mr. Squidward."

A blue gem suddenly appeared in the palm of Tyler's hand while he still maintained the appearance of a fish. A blue light flashed on the gem and a cloud of dark blue fog instantly swallowed Tyler. Then Tyler appeared in Squidward's house where Squidward's own artworks were placed.

At this time, Squidward was dressed like an artist, with a beret, fake beard, turtleneck sweater, flowery pants, and a paint palette and paintbrush. He was painting a majestic golden three-headed dragon with his back to Taylor.

His skin color also changed from the original bluish-green to a light gold covered with scales. His shoulders were bulging as if something was about to burst out, and two tails grew from his buttocks, with sharp barbs at the ends of the tails.

"You are here Mr. Taylor......"

The octopus turned its back to Taylor and clenched the paintbrush, as if trying hard to endure something. Soon he spoke in a trembling voice.

"I think... we... should... talk... some more."
