Always Ending Up as an Animal Cub

chapter 51 - The Second World (13)



‘Meow——’
‘Meow——meow——’
The sound of a cat’s meow lingered in my ears, and it was very shrill, a bit like a cat in heat.

The chickens in the chicken coop began to move around restlessly, making frightened noises. After a few noises, they stopped abruptly.
Yu Tong looked towards the chicken coop abruptly, and the hens that were originally walking around in the chicken coop disappeared under his nose.
The system was so scared that it said, [Where is the chicken? Where is the big hen? ! ]

Yu Tong narrowed his eyes, ‘I don’t know, I only know that the thing that makes a cat’s meow should be very black. Look at the light over there in the chicken coop, isn’t it darker than before? ’
[The monster is lying there, blocking the light above? ]
‘Maybe it is. ’

[……]
While the system and Chen Xi were talking, the group of chicks that lost their mother and started running around disappeared one by one, like a magic trick.
Lily, whose head was stuck in the hole, couldn't see the situation on the chicken coop, but Chenxi, who was only two steps away from the chicken coop, could see it clearly.

Each monster has different habits, and he didn't know whether to keep going or stand still.
Lily and Little Bear's monster encyclopedia mentioned the big cat, but Chenxi was not sure whether the monster they encountered was the big cat.
The encyclopedia said that the big cat would appear in dark and narrow places, and it didn't like light.

Out of caution, Chenxi brought two boxes of matches before going out. One box for Lily and one box for himself.
It should be time to use the matches now.
He fumbled to take out the matchbox and was about to light the match. The chicken held by his one hand suddenly pecked his hand a few times.

Chenxi looked down and saw the chicken shaking its head vigorously and pointing its beak at the dog hole in the distance.
Looking at the chicken with a cramped neck, and then at the dog hole that could only accommodate a child, Chen Xi's heart sank.
The big meow monster that makes cat sounds will only appear in dark and narrow spaces.
There are many animals in the backyard, which is large and not densely built.

It does not meet the requirement of "narrow".
There is moonlight in the sky, and the light is enough for people to see the small animals around.
It does not meet the requirement of "no light".

So now there are only two possibilities.
First, there are two monsters that can meow in the orphanage.
One is very delicate and ceremonial, and has strict requirements for the appearance environment.

The other one does not.
Second, what they encountered was the big meow, but it came out to forage in a team.
At this time, there are two monsters in the backyard, and the extra monster is creating a dark and narrow environment for the big meow.

'There are no cats in the orphanage. If you hear a cat meow, don't respond. ’
They could only determine from the rules given by the nun that ‘responding to the meow’ would trigger the attack of the big meow. There was no way to know what would trigger the attack of another monster.
It could be making a sound, lighting a match, or standing still for a long time.

Anything is possible, so the chicken told him not to act rashly.
Time passed by, and darkness gradually enveloped all the animals that made sounds.
After those chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs disappeared into the darkness, they never appeared again.

Yu Tong looked around for a while, and suddenly found that the light was not getting darker little by little.
This feeling was very strange, as if there was a dark cloud above their heads.
Wherever the cloud floated, the light would dim.

Yu Tong looked up.
Through the layers of branches, he saw a face in the sky.
A huge woman's face that almost occupied his entire sight.

The face was deeply sunken, with no facial features, only a thin film that was constantly undulating and bloody flesh inside.
The system was eating dinner, and it couldn't stand such a curious scene, so it ran back to the bedroom with the bowl in its arms.
Yu Tong suppressed his nausea and continued to observe with narrowed eyes.

The woman had her hair loose, and her long black hair hung down from the air, crisscrossing between the trees like a spider web.
The disappeared chickens and ducks were tightly entangled in the black hair.
A small creature with red eyes was shuttling between the hair. From time to time, it meowed and pounced, gnawing and biting the animals bound by the hair.

As if it noticed Yu Tong's gaze, the woman's face began to move slowly, approaching the direction where the two were.
Chen Xi also vaguely noticed something unusual. Just as he was about to look up, the little yellow chicken in his hand suddenly jumped out.
While flapping his wings and rushing towards the orphanage, he whispered to Chen Xi: "There is a more ferocious monster in the sky. She has no eyes but eardrums. I will make a noise to lure her away. You hurry out! I will be there soon!"

Chen Xi's eyes widened, and his breathing became uncontrollably rapid.
Seeing that the darkness on the ground was about to catch up with the chicken, Chen Xi pursed his lips and clenched the dagger, ready to rush over to duel with the monster.
He just took a step forward, and his waist suddenly tightened. Something hugged his waist from behind, blocked his mouth, and carried him out.

Chen Xi turned his head and saw that it was Lily's teddy bear.
Just now, he secretly looked up and saw the huge woman's face.
His sacred chicken was very powerful, but he was only born less than two days ago, how could he be the opponent of that big monster.

When he was attacked by the orc army, his mother also said that he and his father would catch up in a while.
But Chen Xi waited for three days at the agreed place, only to receive the news of his mother's death.
On the way to escape, they met a kind old lady with rabbit ears who adopted them.

When the army caught up with them, the old lady with rabbit ears said she would help them trick the soldiers away and let them hide in the cave, and they would eat baked carrot cakes together at night.
He huddled in his father's arms until dark, and the old lady with rabbit ears never came back.
The phrase Chen Xi hated the most was "wait for me to come back."

He struggled desperately in the arms of the teddy bear, but he couldn't get out.
The little bear warrior ran to the dog hole and forced a piece of dry bread into Chen Xi's mouth. Pushing his butt, he pushed him into the hole.
Little Lily, who was waiting outside, grabbed Chen Xi's hands and pulled him out.

Chen Xi was not full and had little strength, and he was still running a low fever.
He was stubborn for less than a minute before he was taken out by the man and the bear.
The little bear warrior went back to check the situation, and Lily blocked the cave entrance to prevent Chenxi from passing.

The boy, who was always calm and composed, fell to the ground with a pale face and shivered constantly.
Looking at the turbulent and cold river not far away, Lily thought he was too cold, so she took off her coat and handed it to him.
Chenxi took a few deep breaths, took the coat and whispered thanks.

Lily tilted her head and stared at him, "Your breathing is so loud, oh, I know, you are not cold, you are afraid!"
"Good boy, don't be afraid, the little bear warrior and the chicken warrior will protect us."
Chenxi looked at her with red eyes, "Aren't you worried that the little bear warrior will be killed by the monster?"

"The little bear warrior is the most powerful, no one is its opponent!"
"What if, if it can't beat the monster and never comes back, what should you do?"
"There is no if, the powerful bear warrior will never fail!"

Chenxi and the little fool can't explain it.
He took out the remote controller that Yu Tong had given him and stroked its smooth surface.
When introducing the controller, Xiao Ji said it was a prop for two-player cooperation. He could use it to fight with Xiao Ji.

When they really needed to fight together, Xiao Ji left him alone to fight monsters.
Just like his mother and the rabbit grandmother, he was untrustworthy.
Chen Xi turned his back to Lily and quietly wiped his tears for a while.

His tears wet the matchbox in his hand. He stared at the small box for a long time and turned to look at Lily.
The little girl was squatting at the entrance of the cave with a head of burnt black and bald hair, blowing dandelions.
Chen Xi's eyes lit up.

He remembered that Lily's hair caught fire very quickly during class.
————
Yu Tong didn't use his skills and was chased by the woman's face and ran around everywhere.

The hair of the woman's face can weave a web in an open place, and the big cat likes to hunt in narrow places.
The two monsters cooperated very well, and Yu Tong had nowhere to hide.
It was already 9 o'clock in the evening, all the lights in the building were turned off, and the orphanage fell into a dead silence.

Seeing that Yu Tong was about to be caught up by the monster, the system stamped its feet anxiously, [You hide in the building, there are nuns in there. You lead the monsters over and let them fight with the nuns! ]
Yu Tong nimbly moved through the grass, bypassing the chasing monsters, and explained while running back, 'I can't go in, there are more monsters in the building. I don't know if they will fight, but I will definitely die in there. '
[Fuck, a hair touched your chicken ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) butt! It's important to solve the crisis in front of you first, what if there are no monsters in the building! ]

'It's impossible! '
'Chen Xi said a long time ago that all the rules in the orphanage are not fixed, including the time to get up and turn off the lights. One of the rules the nun mentioned at noon today was that since the number of people in the orphanage has decreased too much today, the workload of personnel statistics is very large, so there will be no dormitory inspection tonight. ’
Yu Tong lifted his tail to avoid the hair behind him. He dived into the drain on the ground.

‘No dormitory inspection means that no nun will come at night to tell the children when they need to get up. When the nun talked about the rules at noon, she only said that the lights should be turned off and go to bed at 9 o'clock, and did not mention getting up. ’
‘So the time to get up is completely unknown now. It may be 0 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 7 o'clock, or even 9:01. After 9 o'clock, there will be danger at any time. ’
[Fuck...]

‘We have introduced it before. The nuns and priests are not the ones who make the rules. They just know the time and place of the monsters' activities in advance, and summarize these action trajectories into rules and tell them to the children. Ensure that children with relatively good IQ and mentality can avoid the attacks of monsters and will not be wiped out. ’
‘This time they didn't say anything, and it was clear that they wanted to let the children wait to die. Tonight, only the pets of the nuns, the believers with backers, and the smart kids who knew to sneak out of the orphanage can survive. All the other kids who stayed in the dormitory obediently will die. ’
The system rubbed its hands in disappointment, [Monsters have a limit to how much they can eat. There are so many kids, they can't eat them all. It's okay, Xiao Yu, don't be so pessimistic. ]

Yu Tong sighed.
If he wasn't being chased by the big cat, he really wanted to enter the space and shake the system wildly to wake it up.
‘The blond young master in the next dormitory has been dead for a long time, and his bed is covered with dust. His soul has been in the dormitory, but he has never hurt his roommates, nor has he attacked the chicken that ran over to peek at his diary. His target is very clear, that is, to kill his little mushroom. ’

‘The children who can survive until night, without exception, have personally dissected and killed a child in the practical class in the morning when they couldn't talk. Lily said that the dead tonight will come back. The ghosts of the children who died in class will avenge the people who killed them. ’
[Wait, one-on-one precise revenge? It’s over, all these children are finished. If you want to return to the orphanage tomorrow, do you have to kill the ghost children killed by Chen Xi and Lily first? ]
‘Not sure if it’s one-on-one or one-on-many. Anyway, I can’t go back tonight. There are too many monsters. I’m worried about being besieged. ’
Yu Tong was afraid that the system wouldn’t understand, so he didn’t explain the process and directly explained the conclusion.

In fact, as long as you reverse the rules given by the nun, you can figure out the trajectory of monster activities within a specific time.
After the children’s nap, they all go to the theology class for an hour. This is a time period with a specific arrangement.
During this period, the theology classroom where the children and the nuns gather is safe for one hour. Outside the theology classroom, all areas that children can enter have monsters active.

So the children trapped in the dormitory will encounter the big centipede and Uncle Jill.
After class, the children will leave the classroom together under the leadership of the nun.
This is a time period without a specific schedule, and the corresponding rule is that you cannot enter any door.

When children walk out of the teaching building and want to enter other buildings, they need to enter the door.
The latest novel is first published on the 6th 9th book bar!
This should mean that only the outdoors are safe during this period, and there are monsters indoors.

As for why it says "cannot enter the door" instead of "cannot enter any building",
It may be that the monsters that will mainly threaten children in the afternoon will detect the entry of the door...
Wait.

When Yu Tong thought of this, his eyes narrowed suddenly.
He remembered that when he just arrived on the first floor in the afternoon, the little bear warrior was smashing the door.
The thin wooden door seemed to be cast under some kind of spell. Even if it was scratched to pieces by the little bear, the broken wooden boards were stuck together, which completely violated physics.

It was not until the little mushroom died completely that the too-stubby wooden door shattered into a pile of wood slag.
Oh——
He understood that the door was the monster itself.

It was not aggressive, but when someone walked into the door, it would weld the door shut, and no one could get out.
It might be that the person would be released when the time period of "no specific arrangement" was over.
It might also be that the door would be opened only after the person was trapped until death.

During this period, if there was a monster in the room, the person trapped inside could only climb out of the window or wait to die there.
Just like the little mushroom.
————

It turned out that the two-legged chicken could not outrun the four-legged cat and the flying human face.
Yu Tong relied on the snake skin to move and escaped the monster for more than ten minutes, but was eventually entangled by the hair of the woman's face.
All the chicks in the chicken coop were eaten by the monster, and there were no eggs or chickens in the orphanage. He was worried that after his body died, he could only be resurrected thousands of miles away.

Yu Tong jumped up and bit the hair around him. He took out the prop "Hidden Black Chicken" that looked like a small satchel and prepared to get in to take shelter.
"Dong-dong-"
The ground suddenly began to shake.

Yu Tong raised his head and a teddy bear the size of a wardrobe rushed over.
It waved the steel knife in its hand and cut off the woman's hair with one knife, and stuffed the hair and the chicken into its cracked belly.
The little bear warrior was a fierce man, holding the knife to confront the woman's face.

Yu Tong quickly poked his head out of the stuffing, "Don't fight, this monster is not easy to deal with, it's important to escape first."
The little bear warrior gestured back and forth with his hands. The commentator Lily was not there, and Yu Tong didn't understand what it meant. He only knew that it had to stay here and fight the monster.
He glanced at the orphanage where screams were faintly heard, poked the little bear's belly and urged it in a low voice.

"If you want to fuck her, I'll do it with you tomorrow. It's not safe tonight. There are probably many monsters in the orphanage. The child ghost I told you about before is just one of them. There are also monsters like the three brothers Bingbingliang that roam at night and will come out to look for food. The fighting makes too much noise and easily attracts other things."
"If you really don't give up, just listen to me and run back first. I have a way to deal with her."
The little bear warrior nodded, took a steel knife to cut off the hair wrapped around his arm, and ran to the wall with a thump.

The woman's face was completely enraged by being teased by the chicken and having her hair cut off twice. The eardrums on her face began to vibrate violently, and the long black hair danced quickly in the air like the tentacles of an octopus.
The big cat's cry became more and more sharp and piercing, and it ran fast in the dark place like lightning.
The black hair wrapped around the neck of the teddy bear, and the little bear warrior was pulled to a standstill. The big cat immediately jumped out and bit the little bear warrior's leg fiercely.

The sharp teeth pierced the rags on the surface, and the wool used for filling spurted out from the wound and flew in the air.
Yu Tong knew it was time to use props.
Before, he was fighting two monsters alone, and even if he used props, he was still no match for the two monsters. Only when someone came to help him, his props would not be used in vain.

He pressed the button of "Eagle Catches Chicken", and the light spot jumped rapidly on the portraits of the three small animals, and finally stopped on the portrait of the eagle.
The little bear warrior, who was fighting with the hair, heard a childish eagle cry from his stomach.
The little yellow chicken flew out of the crack, flew into the sky, passed through the dense hair, rushed to the woman's face, and pecked hard at the film on her face.

The little chicken's mouth, which was blessed by the props, became extremely sharp.
Every peck could leave a small hole in the film.
The long hair trembled violently, and the woman's face stopped attacking the teddy bear, and the hair rushed towards the chicken.

The little bear warrior, who was freed from the restraints, took advantage of the chaos to slash at the thing biting its bear leg.
Every time the knife went down, a cat screamed.
Before being caught by the hair, Yu Tong flew back to the top of the little bear warrior's head. The teddy bear waved a steel knife, shedding fur as it ran.

Returning to the edge of the fence, Yu Tong patted the bear to signal it to move aside.
He looked behind him and whispered to the outside: "Chen Xi, three o'clock."
"3"

"2"
"1, throw!"
One by one, burning wood flew high over the fence and was thrown in one after another.

The human face could hear Yu Tong's words, but her IQ was obviously not high enough. She didn't guess what he was going to do, so she didn't hide.
The wood hit the human face's drooping hair accurately, and the flames quickly spread on the hair.
The human face didn't care about attacking the teddy bear, and swung his long hair wildly.

Yu Tong observed the movements of the human face, "Xiongxiong, the fire will not only burn her, but also ignite you. I will ask you to grow bigger, and you will grow bigger. If you don't do anything else, just poke the thin film on the human face from this angle."
"Use as much force as you can, and try to get it into the head. No need to draw the knife, I will steal a good one for you outside. After the poke, you will directly turn into a little doll, and Chen Xi will find a way to put out the fire on you."
The little bear warrior was a little nervous, and he switched the knife to his right claw for a while, and then to his left claw.

Seeing that the hair on the woman's face was getting less and less, it was no longer enough to pose a threat to the little bear. Yu Tong found the right time and stepped on the bear's head, "Fuck her!"
The teddy bear roared silently and its body quickly grew bigger.
It threw away the steel knife in its hand, grabbed the hair blocking the way with one claw, and smashed it hard with the other claw at the thin film.

The thin film was instantly torn by the sharp claws, and the bear's paw inserted into the human face and scratched it frantically.
Blood and flesh splattered, and the human face twitched violently in the sky. She struggled to escape, but her hair was still held in the bear's hand.
The flames spread over the bear, and the stuffed toy was also flammable. Yu Tong was worried that the teddy bear would be burned, so he urged it to leave quickly.

The bear warrior, who was already crazy about killing, didn't care about these things at all.
It grabbed the woman's hair, picked her up from the sky, threw her out of the wall and pressed her down with a big stone. It turned itself into the size of a pillow and climbed out of the dog hole with the chicken on its head.
The two children squatting at the entrance of the cave waiting for emergency treatment carried the bear and threw it into the nearby river.

It was called a river, but in fact it was filled with sewage from the orphanage.
Chen Xi was quick-witted and grabbed the chicken before the bear fell into the water.
The bear warrior, who was so angry about killing, didn't care about the safety of the bear at all.

It climbed out of the river and rushed over to continue beating the woman's face.
Yu Tong huddled in Chen Xi's palm and watched.
The bear warrior was really a tiger general.

He liked the fact that he could fight with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he wanted it.
————
At 10:05, the seriously injured woman's face was completely beaten to death.

The big cat who cooperated with her did not show up. It was unknown whether it was hacked to death by the little bear warrior or it was afraid to catch up again.
The little bear warrior who lost its target collapsed on the ground half dead. Under its command, Lily skillfully cut the monster with a steel knife.
The pampered young nobleman had never been to the kitchen. Chen Xi could taste whether a steak was fresh enough and whether the snacks were cooked to the right temperature, but he could not cut vegetables.

After helping but causing trouble, Chen Xi held Yu Tong and found a corner to sit down honestly.
Looking at the lively little yellow chicken in his hand, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
Chen Xi touched the chicken's head and wings. Feeling the chicken's warm body and strong heartbeat, he buried his head and chuckled.

Yu Tong observed the movements of the teddy bear and Lily, thinking about why they were so persistent in killing monsters.
At this moment, a burst of extremely strong joy rushed out through the telepathic props.
Before Yu Tong could react, he was drowned by the overwhelming joy. His heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and a smile appeared on his face.

The boy's childish voice sounded in his ears, "Chicken, did I help you?"
Yu Tong turned his head and looked directly into Chen Xi's eyes.
The golden eyes infected by numbness seemed to be illuminated by a beam of sunlight at this moment, looking warm and bright.

Yu Tong lost his ability to think for a moment, and he subconsciously murmured: "You helped me a lot."
"Have I protected you this time?"
"Yes, you saved my life."

The boy put away his cold and fierce disguise, he held the chicken to his face and rubbed it back and forth affectionately.
"You also protected me, Lily is right, you are my chicken warrior. But there is already a little bear warrior, you are a unique chicken, I don't want you to have the same name as others."
"Gold coins don't sound good, the golden treasures in this world, in addition to gold coins, there is also the sun."

Chen Xi lowered his eyes and stared at Yu Tong in his hand, "From now on, you will be my sacred chicken, my sun god."
[Deviation value plus 20, the current deviation value of Chen Xi's personality setting is: 30/100. 】
