Always Ending Up as an Animal Cub

chapter 58 - The Second World (20)



At 19:00, the nuns came to the dormitory area to deliver meals on time.
Wooden lunch boxes were handed to the children one by one. Chen Xi opened the lunch box and took a look. There were three rice balls, a piece of cheesecake and a small piece of milk pudding inside.

All the food could not be stored for a long time. It seemed that the orphanage was determined to let them kill each other.
Apple sauce was an honest child. After a day, she was still grateful to Chen Xi and Lily for taking her in.
She reluctantly divided her cake into two halves and gave them all to them.

Chen Xi didn't want it. The little bear warrior still had a lot of food in his stomach. Compared with him, Apple sauce was more in need of food.
He sat on the wooden table and chair under the bed and shared his dinner with Yu Tong, who had turned back into a little yellow chicken.
In the system space, the small light ball held the milk that had been heated several times, and hesitantly said: [Xiao Yu, I think you can't be full just by eating that little bit of rice, Brother B has prepared milk bread for you, do you want to come in and eat? ]

Yu Tong's eyes fell on the cup of milk with added ingredients, and asked calmly: 'Why do you suddenly want to treat me to dinner today? '
[It's because I'm afraid you're hungry, come on, drink it while it's hot! ]
'Where's your own dinner? '

[I've eaten. ]
Looking at the system ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) that thought it was well disguised but actually looked guilty, Yu Tong sighed imperceptibly.
His soul drilled into the system space, lowered his eyes and looked at the small light ball in front of him, 'Brother B, do you really want to give me this cup of milk? '

The system wiped the cold sweat, [Of course, aren't we good brothers? 】
Yu Tong was silent for a long while, then squatted down and looked directly into the beady eyes of the light ball, [Myna, if you really regard me as a friend, just tell me the truth, can I really drink this cup of milk? 】
The words have been made clear to this extent, no matter how slow the system reacts, it can be seen that it knows that it has put drugs in the milk.

Looking at Yu Tong's slightly lost expression, the system gritted its teeth and stomped its feet, and drank half a cup of milk first.
It wiped its mouth and handed the cup over, [This milk is indeed not pure, but Xiao Yu, believe me. Myna is the most loyal and will never hurt you. 】
Yu Tong's tense face finally had a smile.

He rubbed the smooth ball of the system casually and drank the remaining half cup of milk.
The naive system swung its matchstick legs and giggled happily.
[Xiao Yu, I feel that our relationship is better than before. 】
Yu Tong glanced at the salted fish surveillance on the wall, 'What do you mean? ’

[If you had found out that I added something to your milk when we just met, you would have definitely fought back. Now you would have a good chat with me and give me a chance to explain.]
[And you drank the milk I gave you. You trust me so much! I feel that I have a very high position in your heart now. Brother Chen is first and I am second. As expected, sincerity can really be exchanged for sincerity. You really, I cried!]
The system wiped its tears and opened its arms. [Woo woo woo, good brother! Hug my brother!]

Although Yu Tong's memory was a little confused, he vaguely remembered that everyone around him, including Brother Chen, was very rational and calm.
This was the first time he met such a sentimental friend.
Quite novel.

Yu Tong hugged the light ball into his arms, and the system stomped his feet excitedly.
[The little beauty hugged me! Hiss, hiss, so happy, beauty, hug me! Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, please give me a mua, mua my round head top! 】
Yu Tong:……

Damn pervert.
Damn friendship, let’s not have this brother.

The heavy rain will last all day, and the orphanage has no other arrangements after dinner.
The nun said four rules, which can be summarized as you can move freely after dinner, but don’t go too far from the dormitory. There is a private bathroom in the room, and you are not allowed to go to the public bathroom. The lights will be turned off on time after the dormitory inspection at 21:00.
Chen Xi and Apple Sauce had just finished their meal when the little follower sent by Ye Kos ran over and asked them to report to dormitory 4-1.

Seeing that only Chen Xi and his wife were in the room, the little follower poked his head out suspiciously and asked: "Where are Lily and her bear?"
Chen Xi pointed to the bed with the curtains drawn, "They are sleeping."
"So early?"

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well last night and in the afternoon. It was too noisy."
The little follower nodded in agreement, "I didn't sleep in the afternoon either. There was a lot of noise in the corridor. Your chicken is wearing a little hat? What's that on it, a little bag?"
"Yes, it's very cute."

"You made it yourself. You are really skillful. You look pretty. , I thought you were very beautiful the first time I saw you, like a girl.
"Your name is Chenxi, right? You have a nice voice. To be honest, I like your voice very much. It's a pity that you are a boy and have a voice change period, it's better to be a girl."
The little follower is a chatterbox. He walked forward while muttering, "Fortunately, you can move freely between 19:00 and 20:00, otherwise I can't call you to the dormitory."

Chenxi looked at the boy in front of him with complicated eyes. He would never give important things to people who talk too much.
With just a few words from the little follower, it was revealed that Yekos could get the rules in advance.
When they arrived at the door of dormitory 4-1, Chenxi almost got Yekos's background out of the little follower.

Yekos and the priest have a close relationship, and they are probably biological father and son. Compared with Yekos, the god of the marshland listens to the priest more.
He stayed in the orphanage the longest, and no one knows why he has only one eye.
Yekos knew that the little yellow chicken might be the young phoenix, and he wanted to take the sun god for himself.

Chenxi asked him how many people lived in dormitory 4-1.
The little follower said four without thinking.
Yu Tong raised his eyebrows.

Four people correspond to four beds. Yekos will definitely take them out of the dormitory and go somewhere else tonight.
Unless he wants to share a bed with the two of them.
As the dormitory door opened, Yekos, who was eating, turned around and looked up and down at Chenxi, looking past the little follower.

His eyes paused for a moment on Chenxi's eyes and the little yellow chicken on his head, and Yekos waved his hand to signal them to sit down.
Chenxi sat opposite him and put the water bottle on the nearby table.
The glass water bottle was covered with a yellow cup cover sewn with needle and thread, covering most of the cup body, and Chenxi's name was embroidered on the cup cover.

Yekos pointed at the water cup and asked him what was going on.
Chenxi said that everyone's water cups looked similar, and he was worried that someone would mix them up, so he made a cover for his cup.
"No, I'm asking why you brought the water cup."

Chenxi licked his cracked lips, "Today's dinner is dry rice balls and cakes, too dry and too sweet. I get thirsty easily at night, and I need to drink water at night."
The black-haired boy raised his mouth corners, and a mocking smile appeared on his delicate face.
He didn't ask Chenxi any more, and ate slowly.

Yu Tong relied on the fact that he was not a human being, and looked at the dormitory openly.
There were no signs of damage in the room, and it was not attacked in the afternoon.
There were four people in the dormitory, including Yekos, a total of three boys and one girl.

The girl looked thirteen or fourteen years old, with signs of beating and abuse all over her body, and there was no god protecting her.
At this time, the little girl with a swollen nose and face was limping on one leg to serve tea and water to others.
She was not a believer and could not make any contribution to the dormitory. Her only value of existence was the shared sandbag in the dormitory.

The little follower who brought Chenxi here took the milk handed by the girl. While drinking, he grabbed the girl's hair and slammed her against the corner of the table.
Apple sauce was frightened and found that the believers were very scared. The fairy godmother immediately wrapped her into a cocoon.
The girl was hit with blood all over her head and lay on the ground sobbing softly. Looking at Apple sauce and Chenxi who were protected by the gods, her eyes were full of envy.

Seeing Chen Xi staring at the girl, Ye Kesi propped up his cheek and said casually: "I just received it this afternoon. Do you want to try it?"
Chen Xi was stunned by the question, "What to try?"
"Slaves, I have tried both male and female slaves. Boys aged eight or nine are too young to die easily, and teenage boys will have a voice change period. When they scream, they sound like ducks, and the sound is very unpleasant."

"Girls are different. No matter how old they are, their voices are very nice."
Ye Kesi took out the belt from his waist and handed it to Chen Xi, indicating that he should try it too. "If you use this to beat her, she will crawl all over the floor. Climb all the way from the balcony door to the dormitory door, like a dog."
Chen Xi's hand, which was twisting the bottle cap, froze in mid-air, "Why should I beat her?"

"What are you talking about? Will your father give a reason when he beats your mother?"
"Why does my father beat my mother?"
"Because useless people deserve to be beaten, tsk, you are so long-winded, do you want to beat them!"

The black-haired boy said it with confidence, and Chen Xi's mind went blank after hearing it.
Yu Tong stepped on Xiao Chenge's head to tell him not to be confused by Yekos's train of thought.
Because Chenxi and Apple Sauce did not participate in the dormitory team-building activities, the attitudes of the three people, including Yekos, became visibly cold.

The girl, who was dragged back and forth like a rag doll, was still screaming.
Chenxi seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of him, and hurriedly put the uncovered cup aside.
The little yellow chicken that had been lying on his head obediently suddenly opened its mouth and started to cry.

Although the cry was not harsh, the attention of everyone and the gods in the dormitory was attracted by the chicken.
Yekos asked hesitantly: "What is it calling?"
Chenxi looked blank, "I don't know, maybe it's hungry?"

During the conversation between the two, a stream of water came out of Chenxi's water cup. It floated in the air and finally fell into the cup next to Yekos.
The black-haired boy seemed to be blind to the water and kept staring at the chick.
He didn't look away until Yu Tong stopped chirping.

Yekos felt something was wrong and looked around, but couldn't see what the problem was.
He pursed his lips and drank the water while thinking.
Seeing the water slowly flowing into the boy's mouth, Yu Tong raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The Eagle Catches Chicken prop can turn into three small animals in total.
Eagle, mother hen and chick.
The chick can attract the attention of all the characters in the sight range to Yu Tong by crowing.

They will not move their sight until the chick runs out of sight or stops chirping.
Yu Tong likes to keep a hand when doing things. Chen Xi only knows the mother hen and the eagle, but doesn't know there are chicks.
In the information collected by Yekos using the Marsh God, there is no mention that the Sun God can also attack mentally.

————
At 9 p.m., the nun came to check the dormitories on time.
Apple sauce was still worried about whether she would be scolded for running to someone else's dormitory.

But the nun walked straight past the door of 4-1 and went to check the dormitory 4-2. When passing by 4-5, she didn't look inside and went straight to 4-7.
Apple sauce realized belatedly that the orphanage and Yekos were in cahoots.
After the dormitory check, the lights were turned off one by one, and the corridor, which was originally bright, suddenly became dark.

The little follower took a belt and beat the girl to the ground. Yekos watched the excitement from the side for a while, and soon lost interest in the old game.
He waved his hand, motioning Chenxi and the others to follow him into the bathroom.
The moment the bathroom door opened, Chenxi's eyes met the Marsh God floating inside.

The huge eyeballs moved quickly, and the cold and emotionless eyes made people's backs cold.
Yu Tong found that the character of the gods seemed to be related to the believers.
And the more he looked at the appearance of the Marsh God, the more familiar he felt.

How come the color of this eyeball is so similar to Yekos's eyes. If the boy's remaining eyes were magnified several times, they would be exactly the same as the Marsh God.
The boy's feminine voice interrupted Yu Tong's meditation.
"You two look at the Marsh God, I have questions to ask."

He walked in front of Chen Xi and pulled his face with both hands, "Do you want to resist me?"
Chen Xi took a deep breath, "Yes."
"Do you want to kill me?"

The latest novels are first published on the 69th book bar!
"Yes."
The boy sneered, "Tell me your plan to kill me."

Chen Xi didn't say anything, and the bathroom fell into a long silence.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, dense and thin iron wires gradually grew out of the dark pupils of the Marsh God.
After a while, Chen Xi said calmly: "I want to kill you, but I don't have a plan yet."

Yekos narrowed his eyes, "Really?"
"No, I haven't made a plan to kill you."
"Will you kill me tonight?"

"I really want to, but I'm too weak and can't be your opponent."
Seeing that the Marsh God didn't attack, the black-haired boy patted Chen Xi's shoulder with satisfaction and turned to ask Apple Sauce.
The girl didn't know anything and just wanted to get into the arms of the Fairy Godmother.

After making sure there was no danger, Yekos stopped the interrogation and took Chen Xi and Apple Sauce out of the dormitory.
The corridor was quiet, and the dormitory doors on both sides were closed.
Several strange monsters wandered in the corridor. Under the threat of the Marsh God, they circled around the three people and dared not attack.

Yekos led the two to the confessional on the second floor, and they saw at least a dozen monsters on the way.
Yu Tong's eyes lit up as he looked.
These were all walking experience packs. When he was free, he would bring the little bear warrior to fight monsters and level up.

————
As Yekos knocked on the door of the confessional, the wandering monsters turned their heads. Their greedy eyes fell on the few people, making people feel uncomfortable.
The wooden door with the goddess statue opened, and Sister Ai poked her head out from inside.

However, in just a few days, the black hair on her body had grown wildly to a terrifying degree.
When Yu Tong saw her for the first time, he thought it was a monster wearing a nun's uniform.
Sister Ai let the few people into the house, and her sticky eyes stared at Chen Xi's face.

"The priest is waiting for you downstairs. He is in a bad mood today, so his movements may be much rougher than before. I have some new healing medicine. If you like, you can exchange things with me."
Yekos turned his head and looked at the nun in the weak yellow light of the bulb, "What do you want to exchange?"
"Him."

"Okay."
These words were said without a beginning or an end. The system that was looking at the excitement couldn't help but ask: [What are they talking about? ]
Yu Tong squatted on top of Chen Xi, looking at Sister Ai with cold eyes.

'Tonight Yekos will attack Brother Chen and take his god for himself. After the matter is done, he will give Chen Xi as a gift to Sister Ai. '
[Fuck, giving a little boy to a perverted hairy monster? ! ]
'It's not what you think. Sister Ai is not a human being and has no interest in the body of a little boy. She just wants to keep Brother Chen as a pet, like a little mushroom. ’

The system was so angry that it jumped up and down, calling Sister Ai an idiot.
Yu Tong pondered for a moment, and suddenly turned over with certainty: ‘The nuns in the orphanage are also domestic gods. Like me, they are all known races in this world. ’
‘From the letter that Chen Xi found in the warehouse of the mayor’s house, the nuns should be ghouls brought to the priest by outsiders. Ghouls can communicate with people, and their IQ and strength will be raised again after becoming gods. They can be domesticated, and are very suitable for working in the God Training Center where monsters are rampant. ’

The system felt a flash of inspiration in its brain, and it was briefly smart for a few seconds.
[You mean... the reason why these nuns started to grow long hair is that they have atavism and are degenerating into wild ghouls? ]
‘Yes, this is also the reason why they are obsessed with raising pets. They are artificially summoned and mass-produced tool gods. Without receiving the power of faith for a long time, their bodies and strength are degenerating bit by bit. ’

‘By taking in godless children as pets, they can rely on the method of whipping and sweetening, so that the children will regard them as their support to survive in the orphanage. Although they may not develop into followers of the nuns, they can still provide them with some strength.’
[Oh——Sister Ai’s pet mushroom died early, so she degenerated the most. No wonder some nuns have long hair and some have short hair. ]
Looking at Sister Ai who was leading the way, Yu Tong’s guess became more and more certain.

In such an important orphanage, no one had any relationship with the imperial family. This meant that the orphanage had long been out of the control of the empire and became the private property of the priest.
He made money by selling pet competitions and older children, and he might have been involved in the sale of ownerless gods behind the scenes.
Even though he knew that only the gods who had escaped from the orphanage could kill all the nobles in the town overnight, he had no intention of investigating further afterwards.

For the priest, it would be best if all the nobles sent by the empire to supervise him died.
Yu Tong was fed up with this kind of life of being controlled by others.
He wanted to take a risk and get the orphanage.

————
Sister Ai opened the secret door hidden deep in the confessional, revealing a dark and narrow staircase.
The staircase was very long and led directly to the underground, and it was impossible to see what was underneath.

Chen Xi followed the nun, and all he could think about was what happened in the afternoon.
After discovering that he had no intention of attacking Yekos, Yu Tong gave him a severe lesson.
He repeatedly hit his head with chicken wings, trying to make him open his mind.

Chen Xi didn't feel any pain, but only felt a little itchy on the top of his head, as if he had realized something.
He was a very obedient person. After listening to the pros and cons of the Sun God, he immediately decided to kill Yekos.
The Sun God and the Bear Warriors discussed a plan to deal with Yekos, but didn't let him listen.

Chen Xi knew that this was to guard against the Marsh God.
He knew nothing about the assassination plan, and Yu Tong only told him to remember to bring the water cup when he went to the 4-1 dormitory at night.
Take some time to drink a few sips of water, and then put the uncovered water cup on the table. Leave the rest to him.

Also let him clear his mind, think more about what to do after leaving the orphanage in the afternoon, and don't think about assassinating Yekos.
Chen Xi was so sleepy that his brain didn't work the whole time.
Just after the interrogation of the Marsh God, he quickly figured out Yu Tong's plan.

The teddy bear is very good at sewing things, so let the little bear warrior make a cup sleeve. Covering the glass cup can prevent outsiders from seeing the situation inside the water cup.
The water drop warrior can get into any place and can also burst the bodies of monsters and people from the inside.
Just put the water drop warrior in the water cup and then take the cup to Yekos's dormitory.

Under the cover of Yu Tong's mental attack, let the water drop warrior have the opportunity to slip into Yekos's water cup and be drunk by him.
In this way, the Marsh God believers can be killed silently and Chen Xi can be cleared of suspicion.
The question is, why didn't the water drop warrior take action?

What is the Sun God waiting for?
Chen Xi had a thought in his mind.
He not only wanted to kill Yekos tonight, but also wanted to attack the priest?
Although they had known each other for a short time, he had more or less understood the character of the Sun God.
He was very smart and proud, and there was a ruthlessness in his bones. He looked rational and calm, but he actually liked to rush.

As long as he saw an opportunity, he wanted to rush.
Chen Xi pursed his lips tightly, and a trace of anxiety gradually rose in his heart.
The Sun God was anxious.

The priest could not be killed, and he could not rush this time.
————
Ten minutes later, the stairs finally came to the end.

Sister Ai pushed open the wooden door below, and there was darkness behind the door.
She fumbled on the wall for a while and turned off the switch of the basement.
The moment the lights came on, Chen Xi and the others saw the scene inside clearly and could not help but stand there in a daze.

This is a place similar to a large-scale arena, with a huge prototype open space in the middle and a circle of audience seats around it.
However, the audience seats are not filled with spectators, but tall and burly giants.
Apple sauce is very nervous, shrinking in the cocoon woven by the fairy godmother and not daring to come out.

Chen Xi has seen these giants holding giant axes, and they look exactly like Uncle Jill.
No, to be precise, they are the same robot operated by the noble named Jill.
At the pet beauty contest last night, the nobles far away in the imperial capital watched the competition remotely through the eyes of these robots.

At this time, the robot was standing quietly in place, and there was no strange red light in its eyes that had been seen before.
It seems that the nobles did not receive the invitation from the priest today, and did not come to operate the robot at night.
When he was still in the old dormitory area, Yu Tong had chased Uncle Jill's robot and entered this arena.

The priest had a guilty conscience and did not dare to put up the surveillance camera. He strolled around the arena for a few laps and roughly understood the environment here.
Obviously everything was going according to plan, but when he turned around and looked around, Yu Tong felt a sense of uneasiness for no reason.
This anxious and nervous emotion was transmitted to him by Chen Xi through the telepathic prop.

The two could not communicate, but Yu Tong quickly understood what Brother Chen meant.
Today, just kill Yekos. The time is not ripe yet, don't do anything to the priest.
Yu Tong began to struggle whether to listen to Brother Chen's advice.

At this moment, the voice of a middle-aged man suddenly appeared, breaking the silence at the scene.
"You are here, my dear Yekos."
The priest walked out of the shadow of the arena.

The moment he appeared, the god of the marshland, who had been following Yekos, quickly flew behind the priest.
After looking at Chen Xi and Yu Tong above his head, the man raised his hand and touched Yekos's face.
"I know you've always been unhappy about me digging out your eyes and summoning the Marsh God. But it doesn't matter, you will soon have a pair of beautiful golden eyes and a unique phoenix."

Meeting the priest's eyes, Chen Xi timidly lowered his head to hide the fierceness in his eyes.
Yu Tong: Tsk.
