Always Ending Up as an Animal Cub

chapter 52 - The Second World (14)



Although they are both Brother Chen, the difference between Chen Xi and Yun Mingchen is still very obvious.
In the last world, even if Yu Tong used a self-torture trick to make himself half dead in order to gain his favor, Yun Mingchen did not completely trust him.
When he was dying, Yun Mingchen cried and saved him. It seemed that if the kitten died, he would commit suicide.

But after this incident, they still tested each other.
Yun Mingchen was older and thought more, and he was used to the evil nature of human beings. Even when he was with the closest people, he was used to keeping a hand.
It was not until the two confirmed their relationship that Yun Mingchen completely let down his guard against Yu Tong.

In comparison, the young version of the villain Brother Chen was much simpler.
Before entering the orphanage, he was a young master loved by a lot of people. Everyone he met was very friendly to him.
After entering the orphanage, no matter how bad the children around him were, they were very straightforward. The little mushroom that he killed instantly was the one with the most cunning heart.

Chen Xi had never experienced the beatings of society, and he didn't take the things that the little mushroom cheated him into heart. It seemed that as long as he took revenge on the little mushroom, he would not be deceived again.
Silly, very naive.
Yu Tong's plan of self-torture, bitter drama and the plan of the little chicken to devote herself to roast chicken were all useless.

Chen Xi loved him to death, and when he looked at the little chicken, his golden eyes were full of trust.
For a moment, Yu Tong suddenly understood why the system always made a fuss and wanted to change the silly and sweet host.
Xiao Chen was just a little sweet, but he felt very accomplished. If he was replaced by a real silly and sweet, would he be overwhelmed by the sweetness?

Yu Tong thought about it carefully.
No, he still prefers those with more cunning hearts. Sweet is fine, but silly is not.
Dealing with the woman's face and the big cat consumed too much of their physical strength.

It was just past ten o'clock, and the night was still long.
Yu Tong decided to take a short break and then go to the town to rescue Chen Xi's father.
But to be honest, he thought Chen Xi's father had died a long time ago.
Sister Ai said those words just to take advantage of Chen Xi's feelings for his father and coax him to become her pet.

After all, this was just Yu Tong's guess, and he couldn't tell Chen Xi.
The boy took out a tightly wrapped handkerchief from his pocket, took out a small piece of butter biscuit from it, broke it into small pieces and fed it to his Sun God chicken little by little.
Little Lily, who had been cutting the monster's body, raised her hand and shouted: "Don't eat yet, we have dinner!"

Yu Tong turned his head and looked over in surprise.
Lily cut a large piece of meat from the woman's face and trotted to them, "Monster meat can make people stronger and make warriors stronger."
Chen Xi asked with a little surprise: "How do you know?"

"We have eaten it."
Chen Xi:...?
Yu Tong:...?
He looked at the bloody face in Lily's hand, and then at the curious-looking woman's face not far away. The young master, who had never seen the world, gradually had a distorted expression.
Yu Tong was silent for a while, then hesitantly said: "Let me ask you, what was your mental state when you first tried to eat monster meat?"

"Mental state? Lily was not mentally alert at the time. The nuns didn't give us food, and the children were eating each other. In order to prevent Lily from starving to death, the little bear warrior hunted a little monster for me."
"That monster is the slug magician. It can stuff a lot of things into its body and then take them out like a magic trick. It has a lot of mucus on its body, which is salty and slippery like snot. It doesn't taste good at all. But it's big and full."
Lily pointed to the teddy bear that was splitting its face, "The little bear warrior only had a crack on his stomach after eating the slug magician. The hair inside will not fly out, and it can stuff anything shorter than it into its stomach."

Her words contained a lot of information, and Yu Tong narrowed his eyes slowly, "Tell me in detail."
Lily's expression ability is not good enough, and she doesn't know how to be detailed.
One day, the nun suddenly told them that this was the last dinner, and for the next month, everyone had to find food for themselves.

The children often went hungry, and they all had some food in their hands. In the first week of food shortage, although they were not full, they were not too hungry.
After a week, the children who had eaten up the food began to steal food from others. The older children robbed the younger children, and the stronger children robbed the thinner children.
When all the food was eaten up, there was still half a month left before the orphanage provided food.

The breeding area was guarded by nuns, and the children could not enter. The market opened every ten days, and the children were no longer allowed to go out to exchange food.
The hungry children searched every corner of the orphanage and ate all the insects and birds they could catch.
In order to survive, they began to eat the weak children.

The small and thin children were eaten, and several children formed a small group called the "Brave Alliance". They formed a group to hunt stronger children and bring them back to the dormitory to share the food.
In the end, only Lily, the Brave Alliance, and other children protected by gods survived.
Lily raised her head proudly after she finished speaking, "I didn't eat people, I was eating monsters with the little bear warrior. The little bear warrior said that Lily is a kind and good girl."

Yu Tong was in a complicated mood.
I didn't expect the orphanage to be so cruel. His parents had never done such a thing.
After recovering from the shock, Chen Xi pondered: "Why did the orphanage suddenly stop feeding the children?"

"I don't know."
"Before this happened, did anything special happen in the orphanage?"
Lily shook her head.

Chen Xi chewed the biscuits and pondered. He always felt that he had thought of the key, but he couldn't figure out where the problem was.
At this moment, a soft and gentle male voice came from above his head. It was obviously a soft voice, but the tone was particularly calm and steady.
"Lily, before the orphanage ran out of food, how many roommates were left in your dormitory."

Lily thought for a moment, "Including me, there were three left."
"How many children were there in the classroom when you went to class?"
"Well... a lot. The priest put all the children in one classroom."

Chen Xi and Yu Tong's faces sank at the same time.
The classroom where they had practical classes in the morning could accommodate more than fifty people.
If the area of ​​the classroom Lily mentioned was the same as the practical class classroom. Then there were less than sixty children left in the entire orphanage at that time, or even less.

Yu Tong asked the last question.
"After your roommates died, the orphanage did not arrange new roommates for you. It was not until the end of the one-month food shortage period that new children came into the dormitory, right?"
At the moment Lily nodded, Yu Tong felt a sense of anxiety, which was transmitted through the telepathic props.

He touched Chen Xi's smooth white hair, bowed his head and comforted her softly, "It's okay, the little bear warrior is very good at pretending. Let's stuff more food into its stomach before we go back, it will definitely survive a month. Even if it can't survive, you can eat me."
Chen Xi took off the chicken on his head and stared at him straight in the eyes.
Yu Tong immediately changed his words, "Even if we can't survive, we can eat monsters."

Little Brother Chen pursed his lips, his expression was very serious, "I won't miss eating roasted chicken anymore, Sun God Chicken, you believe me."
I believe you. "
"You are the Sun God Chicken, I will never hurt you."

"I believe it, I believe it, can you please stop calling me like that, it's so embarrassing. "
Chen Xi was silent, with a stern face that looked a little unhappy.
————

The little bear warrior cut the woman's face into four parts, and sat with Lily, holding the human face and chewing it.
The bloody red meat disappeared in front of the teddy bear little by little, and it seemed that it was eaten by the woman's soul hidden in the plush doll.
Lily bit the human face raw, and her face was covered with blood.

Yu Tong was a cat in the previous world. He had eaten cat food, cat canned food, and various freeze-dried food. He didn't mind trying monster sashimi.
The exquisite boy Chen Xi couldn't stand such a bloody midnight snack.
He built a pile of wood on the ground and tried to grill the meat. Because he didn't light up the cooking skill, the grilled meat was half-cooked.

Chen Xi was smoked and his exquisite suit was also burned out of a hole.
He sat upright on a stone, lowered his eyes and ate the meat stuck on the stick seriously.
It was as if he was not eating monster meat in a cemetery, but savoring a fine steak in a luxuriously decorated restaurant.

This reminded Yu Tong that Chen Xi would rather be beaten to death by Sister Ai than be her pet.
In Chen Xi's heart, he was still a noble young master and the eldest son of the family. As the heir, he had to maintain the dignity of the family even if he was in trouble.
Yu Tong tilted his head and stared at him for a while, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.

He was not sure whether it was the feelings conveyed by the telepathic props, or whether he felt sorry for little Chen Xi.
Yu Tong did not know what dignity was since he was a child. Neither he nor the people around him had that thing.
The little one tied in the yard Brother Chen, Chen Qing, is the only one who feels that he has dignity.

He told Yu Tong that if he had a chance to escape, he would kill everyone except Yu Tong when he came back, because these people had seen his most miserable side.
It was not enough to just escape from here. Only by shutting up these people forever could he completely escape from here.
Once his experiences during this period were spread, his suffering would become a topic of conversation after dinner.

They would speculate whether he, a child, would be forced to satisfy the desires of pedophiles before his internal organs were sold. Did he kill other people in order to survive?
These rumors would spread more and more, and in the end they would become a recognized "truth".
No matter how much he achieved in the future, people who knew the "truth" would say that he When he was a child, he was a prostitute and was raped by many people. He can live to this day because he is better at pleasing people than other children.

They would force the sufferings he had never experienced into his life resume. At the same time, they would "share" his pain with others and sigh on the Internet that he was really pitiful.
His dignity had been trampled on for a long time, and Chen Qing didn't want to be unable to raise his head for the rest of his life.
Yu Tong was younger than Chen Qing, and he didn't understand these at all at that time.

Until now, he still felt that Brother Chen's ideas were a bit extreme.
Yu Tong felt that life was much more important than those illusory things.
If kneeling down and kowtowed could save his life, he would kneel down on the ground and kowtow loudly and standardly.

He had finally lived to this age, his life was precious, and it would be a loss if he died.
But Brother Chen couldn't do that, his knees were very hard and he couldn't bend them.
————

After eating the monster meat, Yu Tong obviously felt that he had become stronger. The chicken claws were sharper and the wings were bigger than before.
The system, which was hiding in the bedroom to eat dinner, suddenly ran out excitedly, [Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, your props have been upgraded! ]
It called up the background interface, and the props properties on it had obvious changes.
The effective time of the Eagle Catches Chicken props has been increased from three minutes to six minutes, and the cooling time has been shortened to two hours.

I have all the props for the beauty you want, and the time to transform into a beauty has been increased from 10 minutes to 20 minutes, and the cooling time has been shortened to two and a half hours.
The special mental attack "chicken and egg" attached to the remote-controlled flying chicken has been upgraded from originally making the enemy fall into a 5-second sluggish state to making the enemy sluggish for 10 seconds and producing a terrifying hallucination.
In addition, the handle has a new DIY function, which can freely change the appearance and button layout of the handle.

Yu Tong told Chen Xi the good news, and Xiao Chen seemed very happy, and ran to the corner with the handle to DIY himself.
But Yu Tong, who /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ has the telepathic props, has always felt flustered.
Chen Xi didn't say it, nor did he show it on his face. He was thinking about his father.

The Hidden Black Chicken and other items didn't change, but these gains were enough to shock Yu Tong.
The latest novels are first published on the 69th Book Bar!
Since eating monster meat can randomly multiply the effects of some items by 2, he won't eat biscuits anymore. He wants to be a meat chicken.

When he returns to the dormitory tomorrow, he will take Little Bear to eat the big centipede.
Chen Xi didn't tell Lily that he was going to save his father. Lily and Bear had their own plans, so he didn't ask.
Several people walked through the cemetery and the woods together, separated at the edge of the town, and agreed to meet in the dormitory tomorrow.

Lily kept muttering the names of various delicacies on the way. Yu Tong thought that Little Bear Warrior was probably going to take her to steal food.
Every ten days, the orphanage would let the children go to the market. Chen Xi had been to the orphanage several times and was quite familiar with the situation in the town.
Yu Tong squatted on Chen Xi's head and looked up at the town in front of him.

On both sides of the clean and tidy gravel road, there were neatly arranged street lights. Under the dim light, two rickshaw drivers were waiting to pick up customers.
The tavern not far away was flashing with dazzling colored lights, and a group of drunkards in gorgeous clothes were walking back with their arms around each other.
Just as Yu Tong guessed, the country's technological level was very chaotic, but overall it was still relatively high.

While eating monster meat, Yu Tong reviewed the entire process of fighting with the woman's face.
Monsters of this strength are far from being able to fight against the orc army.
The human empire should not have put all its eggs in one basket. While cultivating the strongest gods, they are probably also developing technology to train the army.

There should be many god-cultivating centers similar to this orphanage in this country.
In addition, he discovered one more thing.
Among the monsters he had seen so far, only the little bear warrior had an IQ close to that of humans. Others, such as the woman-faced, big cat and big centipede, had pitifully small brains.

Yu Tong had a vague guess.
This was a world of swords and magic, where there might be some mysterious powers, such as the power of faith.
Would the monster undergo a qualitative change in its body after it had believers and was recognized by others? It could gain power from faith, gradually break away from ordinary monsters, and become a true god.

It was time for him to study this matter carefully.
If monsters could really gain power from faith, then the orphanage would not force each monster to have only one believer.
In this way, the relationship between Chen Xi and Xiao Lili would no longer be a life-and-death struggle.

Everyone, stop fighting, and believe in the Little Chicken God Cult.
————
In the dark alley behind the tavern, the prostitute who had just received a customer was dazed with a cigarette in her mouth.

A man in a cloak whose gender could not be identified walked quickly into the alley and stopped beside the woman.
Looking at his skinny arms, the woman took a step back in surprise, "How long have you not eaten?"
The man pulled his hood and did not answer her.

The woman turned around and wanted to leave, but the man suddenly pressed her against the wall and took out a dagger to hold against her neck.
A very low male voice came from under the hood, "There is a noble with long white hair and golden eyes who was captured in this town. He wears a fox-like badge on his chest, which is the symbol of their family. Have you heard of this person?"
The woman did not dare to breathe, for fear of being touched by the dagger.

She trembled and said, "Is he a handsome man? We have seen him. We have all seen him."
"We have all seen him? When? Do you know where he is being held now?"
"I can't remember the exact time, but one night, several people forced the white-haired noble into the bar. They changed him into a stripper's outfit and forced him to dance erotically to entertain customers. At that time, many people started to make a fuss, saying that he was someone...hiss, Mr. Chen. Before the war started, he seemed to be a very famous noble."

Under the cloak, the man's voice became even colder, "Where is he being held now?"
"He died a long time ago, committed suicide. He was very stubborn and would rather die than dance erotically. After being pushed into the crowd, he grabbed a guest's knife stabbed me several times, and I died very thoroughly. The gang was very angry, and they cut him up and fed him to the dogs. "
The man pursed his cracked lips and didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't hurt herself, the woman became bolder.
She sighed softly, "I have never seen someone as thin as you. Did you escape from outside? This town is not a place for people to stay. It is occupied by a group of rich young masters and their servants and bodyguards."
"They are not good people. They killed all the townspeople who didn't obey the rules. The rest are like me and my husband. I sell myself for free to please them, and my husband does manual labor for them for free. Only in this way can the elderly and children in our family survive."

"Didn't they take your child to an orphanage?"
"My child is already fifteen years old, and they only want those under ten years old. I am so lucky that my son was born early."
The man was silent for a moment, "Why don't you run away? ”

The woman was a little confused, "When you came in, didn't you see the soldiers guarding outside? This town is now only open to entry but not exit. You must be a very strong magician or thief. Ordinary people will be caught by the soldiers if they come in."
"You and your husband serve these people for free. You have no income. Won't you starve to death?"
"Those people will give us some money as rewards, but starvation is a matter of time. But if you don't obey, you will die more miserably, like Kelly in the clothing store. What a lovely girl, only eighteen or nineteen years old. Because she didn't want to go out wearing only underwear, she was tortured to death by them."

The woman's pale face was full of sympathy, "Poor little Kelly, no one dared to collect her body, and her body is still hanging in the store."
"You'd better leave this town quickly. No one will come to take care of them. Small towns like ours that can't contribute to the empire have all been abandoned by the empire. ”
————

The mask transformation time ended, and Yu Tong turned back into a little yellow chicken.
He held a piece of muffin cake and struggled to get out of the cloak.
This was the food given to him by the prostitute behind the tavern.

Yu Tong used props to transform into a skinny woman hiding in a teddy bear. The woman died of starvation and was as thin as a skeleton.
The prostitute thought that he must have been hungry for a long time because he was so thin.
She felt sorry for him. Even though Yu Tong had just threatened her with a knife, she still gave the reward she got from selling her body to Yu Tong.

She hoped that he would not think about revenge for the white-haired noble, so as not to be cruelly killed.
I hope this cake can fill his stomach and give him the strength to escape from this town.
Chicken wings are not suitable for holding things, and Yu Tong can't fly with the cake.

Looking at the muffin cake that accidentally fell on the ground, Yu Tong's mood suddenly became very bad.
He didn't understand what he was thinking and why he accepted this cake at that time.
This thing was wasted for him.

Yu Tong was busy asking Chen Xi to come over to eat cake, and the system took the opportunity to open the background to take a look.
[The deviation value is detected to be 5 points, and the current deviation value of Yu Tong's personality is: 20/100]
Chen Xi has It has been a long time since I had dessert.

He broke off a piece of cake, wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his pocket.
Yu Tong knew that this was for Lily and Little Bear Warrior.
Compared with the more cunning Yun Mingchen, Chen Xi, who was still a child, had much simpler ideas.

In his cognition, Little Bear Warrior helped his chicken and shared the meat of the woman's face with them.
In return, he should help Lily and leave a portion of the good things for them.
Yu Tong had already asked the woman who forced Chen Xi's father to death.

His original plan was to tell Chen Xi the truth directly, and then tonight Take him to kill the murderer of his father.
But looking at the boy in front of him, he didn't know how to start for a while.
An indescribable feeling surged from the bottom of his heart. Yu Tong hadn't had such obvious emotional fluctuations for a long time. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

It wasn't his father who died, why should he feel sad.
If his father died, he would be happy.
————

The boy sat in a dark corner, sharing the cake in his hand with the chicken.
After eating the last piece of cake crumbs, Chen Xi suddenly whispered: "Sun God Chicken, my father... is he dead?"
Yu Tong didn't care about this embarrassing name anymore, silently raised his wings and touched the back of his hand.

Chen Xi fiddled with the cake paper, picking up the crumbs on it bit by bit, "Every time I go to the market, I ask the vendors in the market about my father. There was a grandma selling flowers who secretly told me that the person I want to find is dead. "
"But I always think that the grandma is so old, what if she just has a bad memory and remembers the wrong person, or her eyes are too blurry, and she mistook someone for my dad. Maybe my dad is still alive and waiting for me outside."
The boy raised his mouth and looked down at the little yellow chicken beside his legs.

"Thank you for accompanying me to find my dad tonight. This cake is delicious. The sister who gave me the cake is very nice. Lily and the little bear warrior are also very nice. Everyone I met tonight is very friendly."
Yu Tong was about to say something when a tear fell on his head.
Chen Xi took a few deep breaths, but still couldn't hold back the tears.

He held the palm-sized little yellow chicken in his hand, lowered his eyes and sobbed: "I guessed that my dad might be dead, and I want to avenge my dad. As long as I can avenge him, I am willing to sacrifice my soul to you. ”
“Please, help me, my sun god,”
As he prayed, Yu Tong suddenly found that his chicken wings seemed to be glowing.

At this moment, he was like a glowing chicken lamp.
He was bright.
