The Inferior looked up with mockery.
His last words were slang used among the Codeless of Happiness Island. Though it was called slang, it had actually become harmless, turning into a kind of meme—a popular meme among the Codeless and some "Codeless culture enthusiasts" in Upper City District schools.
When usually threatening to kill someone, one might say "I'll turn you into sausage" or something similar... It's probably similar in meaning to "sink in Tokyo Bay" or "a seat at the bottom of West Lake."
Strangulation heard these words and his expression turned somewhat strange.
"... Don't talk about sausages," Strangulation shook his head, "It's not good being overheard."
"Huh? You mean... there really is such a thing?" Strangulation appeared quite astonished.
He was just casually using a meme; he had never taken it seriously.
And yet, Strangulation reacted so strongly?
"Yeah, about a decade ago. It was pretty popular back then."
