Always Ending Up as an Animal Cub

chapter 54 - The Second World (16)



Chen Xi looked at the nun in front of her expressionlessly. Although she was much shorter than the other one, she was not inferior in momentum at all.

"We stayed in the dormitory all night, and no one came to check last night."
Sister Ai narrowed her eyes, "Really? How many times did the bell ring last night?"
With the support of the sacred bird, Chen Xi was obviously tougher than before when facing Sister Ai.

"The orphanage was too noisy last night. I thought they were too annoying, so I plugged my ears with cotton before going to bed."
Sister Ai wanted to continue asking.
The little yellow chicken on the boy's head suddenly made an impatient sound, and the voice of an adult man came out of the chicken's mouth.

"I'm starving. When will the meal be served? I want to eat."
Sister Ai's expression twisted for a moment, and she took the initiative to skip the topic with a gloomy face. She took out the list from her arms and called out the names loudly.
"Lily!"

"Here!"
"Chenxi!"
"Here."

"Louder your voice, why are you so weak? Didn't I tell you before that you should shout loudly when calling the roll? Do it again, Chenxi!"
"Here."
Chenxi's voice was still half dead.

Yu Tong stared at the nun in front of her with her round black bean eyes, "Poor little Chenxi, he is too hungry to shout. It's 9 o'clock in the morning, he may have hypoglycemia and needs to replenish sugar."
Sister Ai was silent for a while, then fumbled out a bag of chocolate from her clothes and handed it over.
Chenxi asked first, is this for him?
After getting a positive answer, he reached out to take the chocolate.

When Sister Ai started to call the roll again, Chenxi finally cooperated with her work.
Sister Ai had never suffered such humiliation before, and she gritted her teeth and finished talking about the rules of this morning, then slammed the door and left.
Compared with the previous few days, the rules this morning are much more complicated.
[One, the breeding area of ​​the orphanage was attacked by wild beasts last night, and all the livestock died. It will take 30 days to repair and rebuild the breeding area. No one is allowed to enter the breeding area in the next 30 days. ]

[Two, when checking the damage to the breeding area, the hardworking nuns found a dog hole in the wall. In order to protect the safety of the children, the priest decided to block the dog hole and drive away all the dogs in the orphanage. ]
[Three, between 10 am and 12 pm, the orphanage prepares a total of two courses. One is a theology class on the second floor of the teaching building on the east side, and the other is a practical class in the small warehouse on the north side. You can choose to take the course you like, and all children must attend class on time. ]
This is the first time that Yu Tong has encountered a course that children need to choose after coming to this world.

He is sure that there is a 100% pit in this rule, and only one of the two classrooms is truly safe.
Chen Xi wrote down all the rules Sister Ai said in his notebook.
The tip of his pen slid back and forth between the two locations given in the third rule. He shook his head at the little yellow chicken on his shoulder, indicating that he had no idea.

The little bear warrior, who had added all his points to bravery, and his naive bear knight, had already collapsed on the bed.
The teddy bear took out a piece of mille-feuille wrapped in newspaper from its torn stomach and shared it with Lily and Chen Xi.
Chen Xi took a bite and showed an expression of opening the door to a new world.

Yu Tong pecked off a piece curiously.
Oh! It's durian mille-feuille!
He likes durian!
It seems that before going to see the mayor, the little bear warrior did take Lily for a walk around the town.
————

There were five rules in total in the morning. Chen Xi ate while looking at the remaining two.
[Fourth, there will be heavy rain in the orphanage today, and everyone must wear a full set of raincoats and rain boots. If you are touched by rain, you need to clean it as soon as possible. 】
【Five, the heavy rain will last all day, pay attention to cold protection in bad weather. 】

The last two rules are very straightforward, and Yu Tong's intuition tells him that there is a pit here.
Lily and Chen Xi got together to finish breakfast and took a small basin to the bathroom to wash up.
Only Yu Tong followed him.

The teddy bear was hiding in the dormitory, stuffing cotton into his legs and mending the little bear's legs that were bitten by the big cat.
Yu Tong felt that the little bear warrior was very generous and didn't think that the chicken and Chen Xi might hurt Lily.
After he proposed to accompany the children to wash up, the teddy bear agreed without thinking.

The woman in the alley of the tavern last night told Yu Tong about the experience of Kelly, the owner of the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) ready-made clothing store.
Before returning to the orphanage, Chen Xi went to the ready-made clothing store on purpose. He found Kelly, whose facial features were sewn with needles and thread, nailed to the wall, and starved to death in the store.
Bear Warrior helped dig a pit in the backyard of the clothing store and buried Kelly's body.

Chen Xi found the needle and thread in the store and gave it to Bear Warrior.
Chen Xiaoyan was just ten years old, and his values ​​and personality had not yet been formed. The increase in the deviation of his personality was more obvious in him.
Yu Tong could clearly feel that Chen Xi had become much more cheerful and caring than before.

He was quite happy to see this change in Brother Chen.
Thinking of Brother Chen, Yu Tong remembered that Chen Qing had stabbed him to death.
After so long, so many doubts were found. Now, compared to being angry, Yu Tong was more confused.

There must be something strange about Chen Qing killing him. There is an 80% probability that the person who killed him was not Brother Chen himself.
Of the remaining 20%, 10% is that something went wrong with Brother Chen and he didn't know that he killed Yu Tong.
The other 10% is that they turned against each other.

This possibility has the lowest probability.
Considering their relationship at that time and Chen Qing's personality, even if he died, he should die in bed, from overexercise.
Recalling the feeling of clapping for love with Yun Mingchen, Yu Tong subconsciously licked his lower lip.

This way of dying doesn't seem to be impossible.
No, he still feels that his life is precious, and it would be a loss to die.
————

After the bloody massacre last night, there are almost no children left in this dormitory building.
The washroom, which is usually crowded, is now empty.
When Chen Xi and Lily went in, there were only three children washing inside.

A girl was washing her bloody hair, and something that looked like a vine but dripping with mucus was wrapped around her and slowly squirmed.
There were no monsters around the other two boys.
I don't know if it's inconvenient to carry it with you, or if they were taken by the nuns last night to participate in the pet beauty contest.

There was nearly an hour left before class. Chenxi and Lily were both very dirty after crawling through the dog hole and searching the warehouse last night.
Especially Chenxi. He had just been beaten the day before yesterday. His clothes were stained with blood and a bunch of wine and perfume were sprinkled on him.
He smelled both good and bad, like stinky tofu mixed with Liushen floral water.

The two children ran to the shower area to take a shower with clean clothes in their arms.
The orphanage really didn't treat the children as human beings. There was no gender distinction in the toilet and bathroom, and there were no special compartments.
Fortunately, most of the children were young and used to living in the same dormitory, so no one thought it was a big deal.

Chenxi, who had received aristocratic education since childhood, knew a little more about the affairs between men and women.
Two twelve or thirteen-year-old boys came in to take a shower. Chenxi felt that at their age, they were not children who knew nothing.
He raised his hand and pushed Lily, who was rubbing her hair, to the corner. He stood in front of her and acted as a human partition for her.

Since they entered the bathroom, the system's sight has been filled with human-shaped mosaics.
It can't see anything, and jumps up and down curiously, [Why is Chen Xi's mosaic moving around? What is he doing? ]
Yu Tong squatted on the shower in the bathroom, looking up at the ceiling with Chen Xi in a daze.

'Brother Xiao Chen is shy, he is embarrassed to use the mixed bath. Just now, another girl came in, and he didn't know where to put his eyes, and now he is busy counting the tiles on the wall. '
[He is still shy? I thought he was numb to this broken place like everyone else. ]
'No, he sleeps in his clothes every day. He will change his clothes after all the girls in the dormitory go to wash. Before entering the orphanage, his parents should have given him a sex education class. So he is more sensitive in this regard than other children. '

The system sighed a few times, lamenting that this orphanage is really inhumane and doesn't worry about trouble.
Seeing that Chen Xi's mosaic began to move again, it asked suspiciously: [Why are you peeking out? ]
'I'm eavesdropping on the kids talking. They're talking about what happened last night. Wait, can't you hear the noise outside? '

[Ah, a large area of ​​mosaic appears, and the privacy protection system will automatically determine that the current scene is scene 18. The sound and picture are all blocked to protect the pure green little heart of the system. ]
Yu Tong: ...
Pure green, which has anything to do with mynah.

'Those children who have become believers are saying that there were a lot of monsters in the dormitory building yesterday. They prayed all night to provide strength for their gods, and now they are exhausted. '
'The two children over there have whip wounds and burns on their bodies. They are the nuns' pets. They were taken to participate in the competition yesterday and were not in the dormitory. Those children discriminate against pets and are asking them about the game last night. '
[Are those two children bullied? ]

Yu Tong hummed, 'It's just verbal bullying at the moment, and no physical action has been taken yet. I guess they were all very tired last night and didn't have the energy to exercise. ’
‘The pet children said that the nuns asked them to keep it a secret, and it would be against the rules to tell about the game. But the child on the left let it slip, and the other children didn't notice it. He said it was dark down there and he didn't see anything. ’
Yu Tong narrowed his eyes slowly, 'The competition venue is an underground building, and it should be stored in the same place as the big robot operated by Uncle Gil. ’

‘It was dark around, and the venue was not lit. This means that there were no guests visiting at the time, and they probably watched the game through mechanical equipment. It could be a monitor, or it could be other robots similar to Uncle Gil. ’
The system felt that this information had nothing to do with them.
Yu Tong continued to listen to the children's chat.

After bullying the pets, they continued to discuss how dangerous last night was.
A boy said that his roommate was killed by a ghost, and blood was splattered everywhere. He didn't have time to clean up the blood, and met the three brothers Bingbingliang at night, and his god was almost beaten to death.
Another boy told him that it had nothing to do with blood, that there was something wrong with the rules last night, and that the dormitory was just not safe.

He wanted to leave the orphanage, but he couldn't find a way out. There were always things fighting in the breeding area, and he didn't dare to go over. In the end, he could only hide in the warehouse with his god, and was discovered by a monster at dawn.
If it weren't for his god being so powerful, he wouldn't have had the chance to come and take a shower today.
Yu Tong raised his eyebrows.

Oh——
He understood,
The system was about to ask him what he understood, but Yu Tong suddenly arched his body and looked at the ceiling vigilantly.

The system followed his gaze and looked up, only to see the ceiling at the top of the bathroom, which had turned into a huge eyeball at some point.
The black and white eyeball kept turning, scanning everyone below.
System:...

[Fuck! ]
————
The moment he looked into the eyes, Yu Tong felt dizzy.

Nausea, irritability, anxiety, all kinds of negative emotions came like a tide.
Yu Tong even had hallucinations.
The environment around him changed from a steamy bathroom to a farmyard.

His parents, whose limbs were removed and their eyeballs dug out, were crawling naked on the ground like maggots. From their sewn mouths, they made strange whimpering noises.
Young brother Chen, covered in blood, was lying on the ground barking, with a leftover human head and fetus in front of him.
The latest novels are first published on the 69th book bar!

The steel city floating above their heads was falling at a very fast speed.
Yu Tong watched the city fall, and finally crushed him into a pulp.
[Hey, Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, are you scared silly? Why are you staring blankly? Damn! You fell off the shower head! 】

【Xiao Yu! Wake up! 】
The voice of the system sounded in his mind, and the next second, Yu Tong's soul was dragged into space by the system.
The small light ball grabbed his shoulders and shook him back and forth, [Wake up! Wake up! 】

Yu Tong raised his hand to push away the light ball in front of him, and began to dry heave while holding the trash can.
The illusion he just saw was nothing to him. His brain was very clear and told him that everything was fake.
But the feeling of being crushed into meat paste by the falling city was so real that it was terrifying. Even after getting rid of the illusion, Yu Tong still felt a dull pain all over his body.

The system said that he was under mental attack. If he could see the san value, his san value must have dropped a lot.
The children in the bathroom also discovered the eyes on the top of the bathroom one after another.
Not every monster can resist mental attacks. Except for a little girl with vines wrapped around her body, the other children and their gods fell to the ground and screamed wildly.

The girl was wrapped in vines all over her body, like a green cocoon, motionless.
Lily cried heartbreakingly. She called her mother and the little bear warrior.
Yu Tong looked around and found that Chen Xi was the best here.

He was just a little pale, and the mental attack of the eyeball did not cause him any harm.
This should be related to the secret he was hiding.
Chen Xi held the little yellow chicken that suddenly fell in his hands and whispered in his ear: "This is the swamp god in Lily's illustration."

Yu Tong thought that it would be fine if he didn't look directly into the eyes. As soon as he got out of the space, he was so disgusted that he stamped his feet.
It seems that as long as you are within the sight of the eyeball, you will suffer a mental attack.
No wonder Lily and the little bear warrior specifically mentioned when they recorded the swamp god in the illustration, 'We must avoid his believers'

They have probably met the swamp god, and the little bear warrior has not done it yet.
Three minutes later, the big eyeball finally looked away and looked at the wall not far away.
The children lay on the ground panting violently, and their gods were around them, accompanying their believers.

Chen Xi pulled the towel over and covered himself and Lily.
Hearing the footsteps outside, he curled up with the chicken in his arms, pretending to be frightened.
As the footsteps became clearer, a tall and thin boy appeared at the bathroom door.

He had short black hair and wore a delicate and neat white dress.
The boy was very beautiful, with a feminine and feminine appearance. The only flaw was that he wore a white eye mask on his left eye.
Yu Tong took a look at him and was sure that he was a believer of the Marsh God.

Judging from his appearance, he was at least 15 years old. To be able to live in the orphanage for so long, his god must be very powerful.
The boy swept his eyes coldly over the people present, "I need to use the bathroom, you go out. You, you, and you stay, I haven't seen you three before, tell me the information of your gods."
The children who were not named wrapped themselves in bath towels and hurried out of the bathroom.

Only the nine-year-old girl with vines wrapped around her, the six-year-old boy carrying a small bottle of water, Chen Xi holding a chicken in both hands, and little Lily who refused to go out first.
The boy seemed to know Lily, but he looked at her and ignored her.
He walked into the bathroom with a change of clothes and questioned each child. With the big boss, the Swamp God, watching from above, the children did not dare to resist.

The girl's vines were called Fairy Godmother, and they were originally green plants she raised in her dormitory. One day, the green plant suddenly came to life, talked to her, and helped her fight monsters.
The main attack method of the Fairy Godmother is to entangle people to death, and the means of defense is to entangle herself into a huge green cocoon.
The boy's bottle contained a water drop warrior, which could get into any place, including the bodies of people and monsters, and swell them to death from the inside.

The believer of the Marsh God stopped and frowned and asked: "That's all?"
The little boy nodded.
The black-haired boy held his face and forced him to look up at the roof.

The boy's sight was the same as the Marsh God's.
The gods of the land collided.
The believer said again: "Say it again, this is all the water drop warriors know?"

The boy just said "yes", and dense thin wires suddenly grew out of the huge eyeball and went straight into the boy's slightly opened mouth.
The bottle in his hand shook violently, and a stream of water broke the bottle cap and gushed out, rushing towards the god of the land on the roof.
The water flow only rushed halfway, and then it shook violently in the air. Like a person trapped in a nightmare, struggling in fear.

Yu Tong frowned.
The water drop warriors were not experienced enough in combat, and they didn't know to capture the king first.
It hits your believers, and you also hit its believers. Torture the hostages to see who lets go first.

However, the lie detection method of the god of the land gave him a strong sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere.
When the water drop warrior broke free from the mental attack, its believers had been pierced through the body by thin wires.
The wires in the body spread out in all directions and pierced the boy's skin. The little boy was like a wire hedgehog, with blood constantly flowing down his body.

The girl shuddered in fear, got into the arms of the fairy godmother, and shrank into a cocoon again.
The water drop warrior, who had lost his believers, fluttered wildly in the air. Even if he couldn't hear his voice, everyone could see that he was wailing in pain.
Before being caught by the god of the marshland, the water drop warrior got into the nearest shower and escaped from the bathroom along the water pipe.

Yu Tong lay in Chen Xi's hands and felt that the little villain's palms were sweating. It seemed that before the little boy died, he was also hesitating whether to lie.
The black-haired boy glanced at the shower with contempt and walked in front of Chen Xi.
Chen Xi pursed his lips and raised his head, his pale face full of fear.

The boy was very satisfied with his reaction, "Did you see how that person died? Whatever I ask you later, you should answer it. You can't lie."
Chen Xi nodded.
"Well, did you leave the orphanage last night!"

This question was different from others, and Yu Tong and Chen Xi were both stunned.
The boy held Chen Xi's face and forced him to look at the God of the Marshland, "Answer my question, did you leave the orphanage last night!"
The huge eyeball slowly turned again, and thin iron wires gradually emerged from the dark pupils.

Chen Xi was trembling as if he was scared silly, "I swear I definitely didn't walk out of the orphanage last night!"
"Say it again!"
"I didn't! I didn't walk out of the orphanage last night!"

The black-haired boy waited for a while, and when he saw that the God of the Marshland didn't attack, he withdrew his hand and continued to ask the previous question.
After Chen Xi told him all the skills that Yu Tong had told him, the boy asked him to look at the God of the Marshland again.
It was 9:30 until Chen Xi and Lily finally left the bathroom.

Even though he was immune to mental attacks, Chen Xi was still stared at by the Marsh God and broke into a cold sweat. This bath was in vain.
Lily's face was pale. She returned to the dormitory and hugged the little bear warrior and cried.
The teddy bear couldn't stand this grievance. He grabbed the steel knife and jumped off the bed, wanting to rush out to fight the Marsh God.

He was hugged by Chen Xi and pressed tightly on the bed.
Chen Xi coaxed him for a long time, and the teddy bear, who was a little upset, calmed down.
The system was very worried. [Xiao Yu, do you think you and the little bear warrior can beat the Marsh God together? ]

Yu Tong went into the space and took a few puffs of cigarettes. 'No, and I don't want to fight it until the last moment. '
[Fuck, it's so strong? ]
'No, the Marsh God and his believers should be considered a cooperative relationship with the orphanage. This morning, Sister Ai had just been humiliated in the dormitory, and the God of Marshland ran to the bathroom and asked Chen Xi if he had gone out last night. ’

‘Fortunately, Brother Chen reacted quickly and found another loophole in the text. The boy asked him if he had left the orphanage, and he replied that he had not walked out of the orphanage. He really did not walk out, he crawled out through the dog hole, and he definitely did not walk a single step. ’
System:...
[Fuck, this is also possible? ! ]

‘Of course it is possible, didn’t Chen Xi try this method before? Last time Sister Ai asked him if he stole eggs, he also fooled her in this way. ’
[Eggs...ah! The pendant that Sister Ai used for lie detection was the God of Marshland? The black stone inlaid on the pendant at that time was not a gem, but a miniature version of the eyeball of the God of Marshland! ]
Yu Tong hummed, ‘Yes, Sister Ai usually wears a necklace when she calls the roll to check the dormitories, but this morning she did not use the necklace to confront Chen Xi. ’

‘Maybe because there were too many monsters in the orphanage last night, the Marsh God was busy going back to protect its believers. He may have been injured during the fight and had no energy to help Sister Love with the lie detector test. ’
Chen Xi is only ten years old, and I don’t know how many years he will have to stay in the orphanage.
The Marsh God has a cooperative relationship with the nuns in the orphanage, and Yu Tong does not intend to offend the orphanage for the time being.

Seeing that the time is about to reach 10 o'clock, Chen Xi put on his schoolbag and put Yu Tong on his head.
Lily took a copper coin and threw it on the ground with a pious look.
Chen Xi stood by and urged, "Lily, what are you doing? It takes five minutes to walk slowly, and we are in a hurry."

Lily said with a stern face, "I am deciding which classroom to go to for class later. Theology class on the second floor in the front and practical class in the warehouse at the back."
"No need to test, go to the second floor."
