chapter 62 - The Second World (24)
The next morning, the children got up on time at 9 o'clock to welcome the dormitory inspection as usual according to the rules provided by the nuns.
As the leading nun, Sister Love did not show up today for some reason.
But the children did not care, they were all worried about how to survive the food shortage period.
After checking the dormitory, Sister Smith, who replaced Sister Love, called all the children to the corridor and began to talk about today's rules.
There were five rules in total.
First, the priest was away for something, and his friends would manage the orphanage on his behalf.
From today on, they would not hear any news about the priest from any staff of the orphanage.
If they heard anyone mention the priest, they needed to report to the acting priest immediately.
Second, in order to maintain the cleanliness and harmony of the orphanage, the staff carried out a big cleaning last night to clean up all the flesh and human organs in the building.
After discovering the above two things, they should report to the nearby nuns in time.
3. At 10 a.m., you can go back to the old dormitory area to pack your luggage and officially move to the 4-person dormitory area. If you find items that do not belong to you, you must report them to the nearby nuns.
These rules were summarized by Yu Tong and Chen Xi. In fact, there will be no danger if you do not follow them.
Their only function is to help them take over the orphanage as soon as possible.
The children are not aware of this.
In their inherent cognition, breaking the rules will be attacked by monsters, and the tips behind the rules are ways to save your life when facing monsters.
Today's first three rules have tips, and their chances of survival have increased a lot.
There are a few smart children who know some inside stories, thinking about why the priest suddenly went away.
From time to time, they looked at the closed door of the 4-1 dormitory, wondering why Yekos didn't come out this morning.
He is the son of the priest, and those who know the situation don't think he will die.
Last night, under the guidance of the Sun God, Sister Ai was slashed forty times by the little bear warrior, but she didn't die completely.
Finally, the teddy bear grabbed the dying ghoul, tore it in half, and ate the body on the spot.
Sister Smith faced her fear and was so scared that she didn't sleep well all night.
She ignored the whispering children and continued to announce the remaining two rules.
"Fourth, starting at 11 o'clock this morning, there will be an hour-long theology class in the new classroom on the second floor of the east side. The new priest will call the roll, and everyone must be on time."
"Five, we will split and reorganize the dormitories. This is the lottery bucket. Four people who draw the same number will live in the same dormitory."
The orphanage has never taken care of the children's dormitory problem. They will just pile up the same batch of children into one dormitory.
This is the first time since entering the hospital that they have encountered separate dormitories.
The children looked at each other. When they have already formed a small group, the proposal to split the dormitory is obviously intended to prevent them from forming gangs.
A little boy leaned into the arms of his god, raised his hand and asked in a low voice: "Can I not participate in the dormitory division? I want to stay with my good friends."
Chen Xi, who had been standing quietly in the crowd, turned his head without leaving a trace.
Yu Tong, who was lying on his head, also had a cold look in his eyes.
They had noticed this troublemaker a long time ago.
Since he heard that the priest was going away, the boy's eyes have been rolling around.
As permanent residents in the orphanage, the nuns know the information of each child.
Yu Tong quickly recognized that the boy who raised his hand was one of Yekos's good brothers.
He was once introduced to the priest by Yekos and was one of his most trusted people.
He lived in dormitory 4-2 and was responsible for helping Yekos manage the younger brother in room 2.
Sister Smith was stumped by the boy's question and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing this, the boy asked again, "Can we not participate in the dormitory change? I want to live with my friend."
Sister Smith was hesitating when a thin black line suddenly flew from behind the crowd, bypassing the god who had been protecting the boy, and pierced his chest directly.
The boy's god was a paper-cut man the size of an adult. It reacted quickly and grabbed the thin line with one hand and pushed the believer aside with the other hand.
When the boy who fell to the ground turned his head and looked over, the black line had disappeared. Only his god was left standing there, staring at the palm that was strangled by the thin line with a sad face.
After being trained by Yu Tong's claws for a night, Sister Smith is now very sensible.
Seeing the boy looking back at her, she immediately raised the corners of her mouth and showed a cold and evil smile.
"Does anyone have any objections now?"
The first bird was almost shot to death, and the other children became quiet.
Another nun put the small wooden box on the table and motioned the children to draw lots.
The nun called the roll outside, and the water drop warriors hiding in the box pushed the slips of paper into the children's hands according to the list provided by Yu Tong.
Every child wondered why the paper was wet when they got the slip.
Most of the children were very satisfied with the result of the lottery.
The new roommates were all honest people who only thought about how to survive, and it was not tiring to get along with them.
Especially the girls whose breasts had developed, they almost laughed out loud when the list of new dormitory personnel was announced.
They were members of the Brave Alliance before and were arranged to live with the old members.
Those thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, although they didn't know much, had already vaguely realized that the bodies of men and women were different.
Every time they changed clothes and took a bath, those boys would run over to stare at them, and would touch them everywhere.
Fortunately, they also had their own gods.
There was a sense of induction between the gods and the believers. When the believers felt panic and anxiety, they would take the initiative to go over to protect their children.
The dormitories were reorganized, and older boys and girls were basically assigned to different dormitories.
The younger ones were still in mixed dormitories.
The troublemakers were keenly aware that something was wrong, and the lottery bucket had been tampered with. But the fear of the rules was already deeply rooted in their hearts.
No one dared to openly oppose the nun, so they could only get together privately to discuss what was going on.
The fairy godmother hanging on the tree branch silently wrote down the names and conversations of several people.
Looking at the information collected by the water drop warriors and the fairy godmother, Yu Tong quickly locked on the recent assassination target.
Only by getting rid of the troublemakers can these kids be suppressed.
Obviously, Yu Tong didn't say anything, but just lowered his head to study the intelligence.
The little villain was like a good student, taking notes with a notebook beside him, and looking at him with admiration.
On the night of killing the priest, Yu Tong also saw this expression on Chen Xi's face.
He endured for a long time, but couldn't help asking: "Chen Xi, why do you always look at me as if I were God?"
Yu Tong couldn't think of a suitable adjective, "You always look at me as if I were God?"
The boy tilted his head blankly, "What is God?"
"It's God."
"In that case, you are the sun god, my god. Is there anything wrong with me looking at you as if I were God?"
Chen Xi pursed his lips, and there was an abnormal blush on his fair and tender face.
Yu Tong felt that what Chen Xi said made sense, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.
The system was attracted by the voices of the two people and poked its head out of the space.
[Xiao Yuyu, I know where the problem is. Before, Chen Xi thought that you two were equals, and he was both your believer and your good friend. Your mode of getting along is basically the same as Lily and the bear, Applesauce and the vine. 】
Yu Tong was slightly stunned, and instantly figured out the key to the problem.
The system took out a pair of black-framed glasses from nowhere and put a red bow on it.
It stretched out its hand with great momentum, [There is only one truth, you are deified in his eyes, and he treats you completely as a devout believer. ]
[The good news is that he will listen to you and take your words as the truth. The bad news is that because he respects and worships you too much, he will take the initiative to lower his status. ]
Yu Tong:...
'Myna, what are you playing again. '
[Cosplaying Detective Conan, these things are gifts from my buddies. It heard that I'm having a hard time here, so it gave me a small detective suit to help me grow my brain. ]
'...'
[Oh, why do you care so much? I tell you, the most important issue now is that if you two continue to get along like this, he will definitely not dare to applaud you when he grows up. ]
Yu Tong was silent for a moment, 'Why not. '
[You are his god, how can a believer dare to sleep with a god. ]
‘I ordered him to blaspheme, will he refuse? ’
[Oh! You look innocent, but I didn’t expect you to be more playful than me! ]
‘How interesting, I will let him do me sooner or later. ’
After talking to each other, they looked at the villain in front of them at the same time.
The boy’s golden eyes were unusually bright, and he lay on the table and looked at the little yellow chicken devoutly, as if he was looking at his savior.
In his heart, he was able to live to this day with the help of the sun god, to have good friends like Lily and Apple Sauce, and to chat with his dead father.
Since leaving the protection of his parents, Chen Xi has never met someone who treats him so well.
He reached out and stroked the little yellow chicken carefully, fearing that he would make the sun god angry if he was careless.
Chen Xi cherishes his current life so much.
The boy’s eyes were too pure, and his mind was full of yellow fertilizer adults and adult systems, and they all retracted their eyes.
Chen Xi's version of Brother Chen is ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) still a little kid, and the more they look at it, the less they want it.
Fortunately, the system has a bunch of intimate photos of Yu Tong and Yun Mingchen.
Yu Tong's soul went into the space, and his fingertips gently stroked the face of the man in the photo.
He grew up in a special environment, and he had never been exposed to family, friendship or love.
Yu Tong's brain is not good at dealing with emotional issues.
He only knows that he has been with Brother Chen since he was a child.
The lost memory is gradually recovering, and Yu Tong can remember the first time he and Chen Qing kissed and the first time they got together.
The system is right, they are indeed lovers.
Yu Tong can't tell what his feelings are for Yun Mingchen, nor can he figure out whether he likes Chen Qing or not.
But every time he thinks of the intimate scenes, his cheeks will get hot. Even a simple kiss and hug can make his heart beat fast.
When facing others, his body will not have this reaction.
Yu Tong felt that he probably loved Brother Chen.
————
At 11 o'clock, the children came to the theology class on time.
As the bell rang, the new priest entered the classroom holding heavy books.
Compared with the old priest, the young and handsome new priest in a white robe and long hair was obviously more popular with the children.
They had never seen Chen Xi's father and didn't know who he was.
They only knew that the new priest was very thin, with pale skin and seemed to be sick all year round. He spoke softly and looked good but also easy to bully.
Yu Tong used props to disguise himself as a new priest, and while teaching, he lowered his eyes to observe the children below.
Just as he thought before, the children who can survive to this day are not less cunning.
Before the end of the class, the old members of the Brave Alliance looked at each other, turned their heads and winked at the new members.
A seven-year-old boy raised his hand tremblingly, "Father, we will face a month of food shortage, but we are still growing and cannot go hungry."
"Excuse me, can you please shorten... shorten the food shortage period? I am really hungry."
The white-haired man showed a gentle smile and looked at the boy with loving eyes, "Of course, how long do you want to shorten it?"
The boy asked tentatively: "Half a month?"
"Why not end it tomorrow?"
After the new priest finished speaking, he walked to the boy and put a piece of chocolate in his mouth.
"Your stomach has been rumbling. Have you not eaten enough for a long time? Starting tomorrow, the orphanage will end the food shortage, and you will not be hungry anymore."
The boy held the sweet milk chocolate in his mouth, looked at the old member who was winking at him, and then looked at the kind-looking priest.
A strong sense of grievance suddenly surged in his heart.
He wanted to pull the priest's clothes and tell him that those older children joined forces to kill his god in order to make the god stronger.
He was bullied every day, and his position in the dormitory was the reserve food during the food shortage period.
The priest seemed to see the grievance in his heart, raised his hand and hugged him.
The boy could no longer hold back and buried himself in the priest's arms and cried loudly.
"If the food shortage period is not over, I will be eaten as reserve food. After the food shortage period, they will treat me as a sandbag!"
"My god was killed by them, they ate my god! I don't want to be eaten, I'm really scared, please save me!"
Yu Tong did want to split the two small teams, but he didn't expect that a child would rush over and hug him and cry.
He subconsciously looked up and looked around.
Most of the children in the classroom were looking at him with an expectant look.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he shouldn't look at these children completely with the eyes of adults.
They are both insidious and simple. In the hearts of children, there is no clear boundary between good and bad people.
Even if the monster kills more people, as long as it is willing to protect them, the monster will be regarded as a god.
Even if he has been beaten and abused by the people in the orphanage, but the new priest treats them well, then he is a good person.
A faint power of faith came from the boy.
Yu Tong couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his head and whispered in his ear: "The priest will help you, but you still have to solve the problem by your own strength, understand?"
The boy nodded seriously.
At the same time, Yu Tong felt a sense of restlessness in his heart for no reason, which was the feeling conveyed by the telepathic props.
He turned his head to look at Chen Xi who was sitting not far away.
The white-haired boy lowered his head and kept picking at the paper with his fingers.
Yu Tong remembered what Chen Xi said to him on the night he turned into a big bird.
'If the Sun God has many believers in the future, can I be the most special and important one? '
Of course Chen Xi is the most important, and others are just passers-by in the life of the Chicken God, and only they will be together forever.
As the deviation of the character setting increases, Chen Xi and Chen Qing in Yu Tong's memory become less and less alike.
But even so, there is still a voice in Yu Tong's heart telling him that this is his brother Chen.
————
With a group of weak children complaining, Yu Tong found a reason that night and called a few troublemakers to the arena.
The latest novels are first published on the 69th book bar!
Let a group of children have a large group battle.
Everyone has revenge and grievances.
He became Chen Xi's father and supervised from the side. With the help of the nuns, Chen Xi tried to operate the large robot left by the priest.
If the weaker group of children are not the opponents of the troublemakers, they will go over to take sides.
Make sure that no matter how the troublemakers struggle, they will not see the sun tomorrow.
This arena was specially built by the priest. In addition to being used as a venue for pet beauty pageants, it is also used to upgrade the Swamp God.
He would call some children who had little potential and could only survive by fighting in groups to be killed here.
According to the nuns, they would first trick the children and their gods to the center of the venue.
Then they would manipulate the robots in the audience seats in the backstage to directly bombard the bottom.
Generally, after one round, all the children with fragile bodies would die.
The remaining gods would lose their believers and fall into a short state of confusion. At this time, the Swamp God and the priest would come out to attack and quickly take them down.
The four girls in dormitory 4-5 were within the hunting range of the priest, and they died here.
Sister Smith brought a thick list, and all the children on it died in the arena.
Looking at the densely packed names, Yu Tong felt nothing.
He just thought the priest was too greedy.
Most of the monsters on the list were sold by him. The Marsh God who worked hard to help him could only get a little leftovers.
If he had upgraded the Marsh God a little more, they wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.
People who started from scratch by secretly photographing the toilet really don't have a future.
————
The next morning, the children who finally got rid of the control returned to the dormitory with the gods happily.
Yu Tong did this to help Chen Xi get rid of his opponents. Those children didn't know that the orphanage had changed hands, so they didn't think of this.
The children thought the new priest was giving them a chance to vent their anger. Yu Tong didn't receive the power of faith, but received the monster meat they left behind.
The little boy who had hugged him and cried before, held a small piece of monster meat in his hand and told him that these things were very nutritious. People can become stronger after eating. Maybe if he eats more, his coughing problem will be cured.
One of the six-year-old girls came over and said that she liked him and hoped that he could stay longer.
Yu Tong knew very well that they didn't really like him, but he was better than the old priest, and they wanted to live a good life.
This was the effect Yu Tong wanted.
Get rid of those who are difficult to manage, appease the honest and dutiful ones, and then win over the neutral children little by little.
There were not many children left in the orphanage, and they were not the biggest problem at the moment.
The real trouble was the army outside the town and the nobles who had deals with the priest.
I hope that the people who have been oppressed by the empire for a long time will have less patience and cause more trouble.
Yu Tong found a corner to end the transformation before the effect of the prop disappeared.
Chen Xi had been waiting nearby, and when he saw the little yellow chicken jump out from the corner, he subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth.
It was just a telepathic prop, but he still felt anxious.
Chen Xi picked up the little yellow chicken and turned around to look around.
Seeing that there was no one around, he took a deep breath and whispered as if he had made up his mind: "Sun God, did my father tell you the secret of our family?"
Ever since he found out that Chen Xi was immune to mental attacks, Yu Tong guessed that he was not ordinary.
Seeing the little yellow chicken shaking his head, Chen Xi took out the family brooch in his pocket.
"The first patriarch of our family was once the most respected believer of the goddess. Hundreds of years ago, he accompanied the goddess in the southern expedition and made great military achievements. As a reward, the goddess gave our family a blessing."
"She said that we have been the most loyal and powerful believers of the gods for generations, and our family will last for a hundred years. Immunity to mental control is an additional effect of the blessing. It is one of our family's trump cards to save lives and cannot be exposed casually."
Yu Tong looked at him in confusion, not quite understanding what he wanted to say.
Chen Xi's cheeks gradually turned red. "This blessing is called the 'eternal messenger of God', but when the goddess gave the blessing, she did not emphasize that we must believe in her. So after the goddess became a legend, our family lost faith."
"I asked my father last night, and he said that if I believe in you devoutly, the blessing the goddess gave to my family will also take effect."
Hearing him say this, Yu Tong finally understood what he meant.
Little Brother Chen is trying to prove that he is better than other children and more worthy of being liked.
The longer he stays with him, the closer the relationship between the two, and the stronger the power of the Sun God will be.
As for whether the blessing of the goddess is still as useful as before after hundreds of years, no one knows.
The scene of the children surrounding Yu Tong gave Chen Xi a great sense of crisis.
Especially after the Sun God began to emit a faint golden light because of absorbing the power of other people's faith, this sense of uneasiness reached its peak.
The little believer is doing his best to please the god, hoping that he will still be the most important boy to the god.
Yu Tong comforted Chen Xi for a long time, but Chen Xi still didn't get out of his anxiety.
The system sighed, [The little villain really has the talent of a yandere top. He is only ten years old, but his possessiveness is so strong. If someone gets a little closer to you, he gets anxious and his face turns red. ]
'He is only ten years old, and he has nothing except the little yellow chicken. If I were him, I would have hidden the chicken long ago. ’
[Imprison? ]
'What else? What if someone else takes it away? ’
'But the deviation value growth seems to be useful. If it were Brother Chen, who I am familiar with, I would have no chance to go out now. ’
[? Are you remembering something again? ]
'Yeah, I remember that Brother Chen imprisoned me, and I imprisoned him too. Force, reverse force, training, etc., we seem to have done it all. But the things I remember are vague, and I may need to go through a few more worlds for treatment. ’
'To be honest, my dear, I think the world I live in is a bit strange. Before I met you, I seemed to be living in a cycle, dying and living and dying. ’
The system dared not say a word.
If it guessed correctly, Yu Tong was one of the villain bosses in a world.
The company sent many hosts to multitask.
The mission failed miserably, the villain destroyed the world, and the world was reset. In order to ensure the normal operation of the small world, the company sent new people over.
Failure, destruction, reset, send new people, failure...
It has been repeated over and over again, and it is an endless cycle.
The salted fish monitoring is still hanging on the wall. The system has not decided whether to tell Yu Tong about this.
But it always feels that Xiao Yu should have guessed something, but he has not said it clearly because of his concern for its feelings.
Wait.
Yu Tong did not force it to ask, does this mean that they have upgraded from good buddies to iron buddies?
The system stamped its feet excitedly.
Its good friend is right, sincerity can really be exchanged for sincerity!
————
The people of the empire are now living in dire straits than Yu Tong expected.
The nobles who were supposed to buy children from the priest did not send anyone to contact him.
Instead, more and more people came to buy monsters. After discussing with Chen Xi, Yu Tong rejected all of them.
The priest has saved countless treasures in the years since he took charge of the Nurturing God Institute, enough for them to squander for decades.
If they want to develop the Nurturing God Institute into Chen Xi's territory, the monsters that can be controlled by believers will be their army.
Wild monsters without believers are training tools and supplies for the army.
Yu Tong is not cruel enough to capture children again, abuse and intimidate them every day, and use the despair they have bred to summon new monsters.
Even if he wants to do this, Chen Xi, whose deviation value has risen to 70 points, will persuade him to give up this idea.
The merchant team that delivers food to the orphanage still comes on time every half a month.
The person in charge of receiving them changed from Sister Ai to Sister Smith. They were all nuns, and these people didn't think anything was wrong.
When chatting with Sister Smith, they mentioned that many nobles in the town had disappeared.
The families of those playboys couldn't contact the priest, and they asked for news several times, but when they saw no results, they gave up asking.
At Yu Tong's signal, Sister Smith asked them if something happened outside.
The delivery people looked at each other, and one of the women sighed.
"Everyone can't eat. In order to survive, many people started to find new ways, set up many clubs and so on... You know, anyway, the peaceful days are gone again."
"If after a while, the higher-ups no longer provide you with fixed food, you can contact us. We not only cooperate with the higher-ups, but also do business on weekdays."
Sister Smith took the card handed over by the woman, which recorded their addresses for easy communication.
Yu Tong knew what the woman meant.
Chen Xi's father was right, the empire was going to be in civil strife.
After this civil strife, it is likely that not only will the imperial family of the empire have to change a wave of people, but the great nobles will also become the history of the empire.
That is why those nobles have no energy to care about their dead clansmen.
In the third month after Yu Tong became the acting priest, the army that had been guarding outside the town finally noticed something unusual.
They sent people to inquire about the old priest's situation, but they were all sent away by the nuns sent by Yu Tong.
The soldiers did not really care about the life and death of the priest, nor did they care whether the Yushen Institute belonged to the empire.
Every time the priest sold monsters outside, he had to pass through the checkpoints guarded by the army.
The army sent by the empire not only fulfilled the duty of monitoring and assisting the priest, but also did business with the priest in selling monsters in private.
Now that they have replaced a new priest who is more generous with money, they pretended to scold him a few times and didn't say anything more.
The soldiers hinted to Sister Smith, who was in charge of reception, that something happened in the empire and that the monster trading would be strictly investigated recently. There may be fake buyers, so they should not take risks in doing business in the near future.
More than six months have passed since the death of the priest, and during this period the orphanage has received two more batches of children.
They were sent by the army.
If the orphanage does not want them, the army will not be able to deal with them. They can probably only use a few fireballs to burn them all to ashes.
The deviation value increased to 80 points, and Chen Xi became more soft-hearted than before.
After discussing with the Sun God, they decided to accept these children.
Put them in the town, live in the empty houses at night, and go to the town to work and earn money during the day. Occasionally, if there are no monsters in the orphanage, they will be brought in to listen to the nuns' classes.
The more people in the town, the better for the development of the territory.
People nearby can see that the orphanage has changed.
But the emperor is far away, and the imperial family is too busy to take care of it.
The devastated townspeople are happy to see their hometown get better.
The army did not receive a mandatory order and did not want to take the initiative to conflict with the monster-filled Yushen.
Merchants prefer prosperous and stable places. The expenses of the orphanage and the army are very high. The current town is very suitable for business.
As time passed, the wild monsters in the orphanage gradually could not keep up with the speed of use.
Yu Tong used the notes left by the priest to contact channels to buy monsters from outside.
During his management of the orphanage, Chen Xi has been studying beside him.
Yu Tong can clearly feel that the look in Xiao Chen's eyes when he looks at him is getting more and more wrong.
He always worries that one day when he wakes up, he will see Chen Xi kneeling in front of him with a pious face and offering him offerings with both hands.
Facts have proved that Yu Tong's worries are correct.
Chen Xi has started Little Bear Warrior and learned how to carve the statue of the sun god.
The time spent with the little villain has already exceeded 100 days. With props, Yu Tong can become a human at any time.
After talking to Chen Xi for two weeks, Yu Tong felt that his influence in Xiao Chen's heart should not be so sacred and inviolable.
On Monday night, after finishing all the work at the orphanage, Yu Tong took Chen Xi to the old priest's former bedroom.
He closed the door tightly and told the boy to be prepared, because he was going to change his appearance.
Chen Xi tilted his head blankly and was about to ask him what he meant.
The next second, the little yellow chicken on the bed was surrounded by dazzling golden light.
When the golden light faded, a black-haired man with fair skin and delicate features appeared on the bed out of thin air.
Chen Xi looked at the black-haired and black-eyed man, and then at the golden feathers he made into a necklace, and his brain fell into a brief blank.
The color did not match his Sun God Chicken, so this should not be the Sun God's body.
So who is this beautiful brother?
He had never seen him, and he looked like he was not yet an adult.
Did the Sun God meet another boy behind his back?
Why, was he not obedient enough?
