Always Ending Up as an Animal Cub

chapter 39 - The Second World (2)



Through the gap in the quilt, Yu Tong saw a nun with an exceptionally muscular body.

She was nearly two meters tall, and she looked like a small mountain when she stood in front of people.
Looking at her muscles, Yu Tong couldn't tell for a moment whether she was a nun or a bodybuilding coach.
The orphans who were playing and fighting just now all climbed back to their beds obediently the moment the nun came in.

The dormitory with twelve people was frighteningly quiet at this time. The sound of the nun walking on the old wooden floor was particularly harsh.
The nun held a stick, "I ask again, who stole the eggs! Stealing eggs today is not allowed!"
No one in the room made a sound, and all the children hugged the quilt and curled up in a corner of the bed in fear.

Seeing no one answer, the nun began to check each bed one by one.
She dragged the little girl in bed No. 1 down and pulled her quilt open. The bed was clean, with only half a bottle of unfinished milk hidden.
The nun took off the necklace from her neck and put it in front of the girl, "Did you steal the eggs? Tell me!"

The girl was so scared that her face turned pale, and she shook her β˜… 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞π₯𝐒𝐠𝐑𝐭 β˜… head while crying.
"Why are you crying? Speak!"
"No... No, I didn't steal the eggs."

The nun looked at the necklace for a few seconds, threw the girl onto the bed, and continued to check the upper bunk No. 2.
She was very tall and could see the situation of bed No. 2 without standing on tiptoe.
The girl on bed No. 2 lifted the quilt swiftly.

Seeing that there was nothing on the bed, the nun raised the necklace as usual.
The girl whispered: "I didn't steal the eggs."
The nun stared at the necklace for a few seconds and walked towards bed No. 3. Repeat the previous process for the boy on the bed.

Lift the quilt to check the bed, and interrogate with the necklace.
This seems to be a fixed process.
The beds No. 1-6 on the left were quickly checked, and the nun began to check the beds on the right side of the room.
The boys in beds 7 and 8, and the little girl in bed 9, all behaved normally.

When the nun found Lily in bed 10, she suddenly snatched the toy bear from her arms and inserted her hand into the bear's torn belly to grope back and forth.
Lily cried anxiously, but she didn't dare to anger the nun. She huddled at the foot of the bed and sobbed: "Give me back my bear, that's my bear."
The nun took out the note hidden in the bear's belly, unfolded it and took a look, then sneered and stuffed it back.

Yu Tong, who was curled up in the little villain's quilt, kept his ears perked up and listened carefully to the movement outside.
While the nun was distracted by the note, Chen Xi secretly grabbed the little yellow chicken in the basket and stuffed him into the narrow gap between the iron bed and the wall.
He shook his fingers and tapped the chicken's head a few times. It was as if he was telling the chicken not to make a sound.

The gap was very small, and Yu Tong was squeezed very uncomfortable.
The iron bedside blocked his view tightly, he couldn't see anything, he could only listen to the sound to determine the position.
The nun walked to the bed of the two villain brothers and began to talk to the little mushroom who lived in the lower bunk of No. 11.

For some reason, the nun's voice became particularly gentle when facing the little mushroom, "Did you take the eggs?"
The little mushroom shook his head silently.
The nun was not angry, "You are a good child, I believe you didn't take it. After lunch tomorrow, come to the confessional to find me, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, Sister Ai, I will go on time."
Sister Ai touched his head and asked him to lie back on the bed and rest.
When facing Chen Xi in bed No. 12, she returned to her previous attitude.

As Sister Ai pulled open the quilt, the bamboo basket hidden in the bed was exposed.
Sister Ai's face changed, and she scolded in a cold tone: "What's in the bamboo basket, bring it over!"
Chen Xi handed the bamboo basket over honestly.

Looking at the two big caterpillars squirming in the basket and the bread crumbs scattered around the caterpillars, Sister Ai narrowed her eyes, "What are you doing?"
Chen Xi lowered his head and whispered: "I heard that caterpillars can turn into butterflies. I want to keep them as pets."
The nun sneered, "Pets?"

She grabbed Chen Xi's ankles and dragged him down from the upper bunk.
Chen Xi's forehead hit the ground and blood flowed instantly.
He covered his head and curled up his body and dared not get up.

The nun crushed the basket and the caterpillars inside, grabbed Chen Xi's slightly long hair with one hand, and forced him to raise his head and look directly at the necklace in her hand.
"Did you steal eggs? Tell me!"
Chen Xi behaved similarly to other children, crying and defending himself: "I didn't steal eggs, I didn't steal them..."

He looked like a little punching bag.
But the telepathic props continuously conveyed a strong murderous intent to Yu Tong.
The scene of the child being beaten with a stick reminded Yu Tong of some unpleasant memories.

He was angry to begin with, and now he was even more uncomfortable.
β€”β€”β€”β€”
Sister Ai didn't see that Chen Xi was rebellious at such a young age. She waited for a while and put the necklace away again.

Chen Xi covered his bleeding forehead and lowered his head timidly.
Yu Tong, who was stuffed into the gap, arched his body hard, poked out a chicken head from under the iron bed, and looked out secretly.
Sister Ai, who was too tall, walked a few steps out of the door and suddenly turned back.

She squatted in front of Chen Xi, fiddling with the necklace in her hand.
Yu Tong narrowed his eyes. It should be a pure gold necklace.
Although the style is very retro, it looks like an antique. But the person who wears the necklace takes good care of it and keeps it very clean.

A black stone is inlaid on the big pendant of the necklace.
The stone was too black, as if someone had dug a hole in the necklace. The human eye was small, and it was hard to see what was inside.
The nun pinched Chen Xi's chin and forced him to look at the pendant, "Tomorrow at noon, you also come to the confessional. I have something to tell you."

The little villain pursed his lips, "Sorry, I can't go. I have something else to do."
"I said, you come to the confessional tomorrow."
"I'm sorry Sister Ai, I can't go."

Sister Ai's face suddenly turned black.
She threw Chen Xi to the ground, pulled out the stick hanging from her waist, and beat him hard.
"I said, go to the confessional with me! I want you to go to the confessional with me!"

Not knowing what was in the confessional, the little villain suddenly became very stubborn. He protected his head and bit his lower lip tightly, refusing to agree.
Sister Ai beat him mercilessly, and blood soon seeped out of Chen Xi's clothes on his back.
The system doesn't like children who are two-faced, but when it saw this scene, it couldn't help but shout.

[Fuck, is this idiot going to beat him to death? This is a shitty orphanage! This is a prison, a prison! ]
The little villain's body contains Brother Chen's soul, and Yu Tong can't bear to see someone beat Brother Chen like this.
And judging from the strength of the nun's attack, she won't stop until Chen Xi is crippled.

He asked the system if it had bought any props that could be used after going out for an afternoon.
The system said while taking out the express delivery, [There are props, but you can't rush out to fight with people with the body of a chicken. Oh, I'm worried. ]
Yu Tong was also worried.

Why can he only dress as an animal? Is there any special requirement for this thing?
What will happen if he turns into a human?
β€”β€”β€”β€”

The first item given by the system is called β€˜Eagle Catching Chicks’
After using the item, the host will randomly draw the identity of a chick, an eagle or a mother hen.
The chick can attract the attention of all characters within the sight range to the host through the sound of the chicken. They will not move their sight until the chick runs out of sight.

It has no other use except to attract hatred, and Yu Tong needs to rely on his two short legs to get rid of the pursuit.
After drawing the identity of an eagle, Yu Tong will have the ability to fly, and his claws and beak will become particularly sharp, which can easily pierce human skin.
At the same time, vision and speed will also be greatly improved.

Yu Tong flipped through the human text manual given by the system, and asked hesitantly: β€˜I understand the first two, but what does the mother hen mean? What does it mean to form an invisible barrier. ’
[Have you seen the picture of a hen protecting her chicks and covering her chicks with her wings? ]
[Become a mother hen, and your little wings can hold people. You can choose anyone around you, raise your wings, and that person will swoosh and hide under your wings. During this period, the negative buffs on him, such as injury, poisoning, collapse, etc., will slowly disappear. 】

Yu Tong looked at his short wings and couldn't understand how this thing could hide a living person.
The system was holding a cigarette, [The props are effective for 3 minutes each time they are used, and the cooldown is 3 hours. There are no side effects. 】
'……'

[Be content, we are a fast-travel company, not an infinite flow company, where can we get so many awesome props for you to use. I got this from the infinite flow commercial street through my connections. 】
Yu Tong was not curious about how the props came from. He felt that the villain version of Brother Chen was almost beaten to death.
Seeing that Chen Xi was no longer dodging and lying on the ground motionless. Yu Tong decided to take a gamble and directly used "Eagle Catches Chicken"

The moment the props were activated, three cartoon bird portraits appeared in Yu Tong's mind.
A spot of light jumped left and right on the three portraits, and finally stopped on the portrait of the eagle.
Yu Tong's two little chicken claws suddenly became sharp. His originally soft body was now full of strength.

He turned his little chicken head and began to observe the reactions of other people in the room.
Due to the angle, he could only see the three boys in beds 3, 5 and 6 opposite.
The child in bed 6 sat on the bed with his ears covered and a numb face.

The child in bed 5 on the lower bunk was closest to Chen Xi who was beaten. He desperately pulled the quilt in, as if he was afraid that Chen Xi's blood would splash on his bed.
The black-skinned boy in bed 3 was leaning on the edge of the bed and looking out. He clenched his little fists, and his young face was full of sympathy and anger.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on the nun and Chen Xi, Yu Tong fluttered hard, squeezed out of the gap, and fell directly to the bottom of the bed.

Before landing, he flapped his wings quickly without making much sound.
The bed was very dirty, with dust everywhere, mixed with cockroach corpses.
Yu Tong ran from under bed No. 11 to under bed No. 7 near the door. When he saw a cabinet blocking his way, he crawled through the narrow gap between the metal cabinet and the wall.

Strangely, the beds and cabinets in this dormitory were not close to the wall.
I don’t know if the children moved them themselves, or if the orphanage was originally arranged like this.
When passing the metal cabinet in front of beds No. 9 and No. 10, Yu Tong saw a small black hole at the back door of the cabinet, which looked like a mouse hole.

But no mouse was seen.
As the nun beat him, Chen Xi’s screams became smaller and smaller.
The emotions conveyed by the telepathic props gradually changed from strong murderous intent to fear and despair.

Yu Tong struggled with his two chicken legs, and ran to the door when there was only one and a half minutes left in the props.
The door of the dormitory was open, there was no light outside, the corridor was dark, and nothing could be seen.
Yu Tong rushed out of the dormitory, stood in the shadows and shouted at the top of her voice: "Who, stand there and don't run! Sister Ai, help me stop him!"

Hearing the voice of an adult male, the nuns and children in the room were all stunned.
Chen Xi's eyelashes trembled, he opened his eyes weakly, and looked quietly at the door.
Sister Ai looked around with a stick in her hand.

The oldest boy in the dormitory, 10-year-old Chen Xi, was now lying half-dead at her feet.
Sister Ai walked to the door and looked out. There was no one in the corridor.
Another nun poked her head out of the dormitory not far away and looked around like her.

The little chicken eagle Yu Tong had already flown back to the dormitory and was hiding under the bed and looking out secretly.
Sister Ai didn't see the adult man who was talking, and shouted to her companions: "Did you hear footsteps in the corridor just now?"
"No! The shouting came suddenly!"

Sister Ai's face suddenly became ugly, and Yu Tong heard her whisper, "Is there one more?"
Yu Tong was stunned.
What do you mean? What more?
Sister Ai didn't beat the little villain again.

She told the children in the dormitory that someone would ring the bell at 9 o'clock in the evening, and those who were close to the switch should turn off the lights on time.
Before the wake-up bell rang, everyone had to stay in bed obediently.
It was not allowed to get up at night to go to the toilet, and all the messes had to be dealt with before 9 o'clock.

Before leaving, Sister Ai turned her head and looked meaningfully at Chen Xi on the ground, "You bleed a lot, Chen Xi, do you want to go to my place tonight?"
The little villain struggled to raise his head, gasping for breath, "No, thank you, I won't go."
The system watched the whole process and couldn't help but hissing, [Xiao Yu, it stands to reason that the villain should be quite flexible, how could he make himself so miserable. You said that nun... wouldn't she be a pedophile? ]
[She took the little boy to the confessional or her room, threatening the child to do this and that. Chen Xi knew what she was going to do, so he refused to go with her. ]

'I don't know, but there is such a possibility. '
[Fuck, go to hell, it's so fucking unlucky! ]
Yu Tong knew that the system would definitely scold him.

He also wanted to scold him.
Chen Xi's body contained the soul of his brother Chen. If this bastard dared to attack Chen, he would kill her.
β€”β€”β€”β€”

As the heavy footsteps of the nun faded away, the sound of children talking gradually rang out in the dormitory.
The familiar children gathered together to chat, sharing milk and snacks with each other, and soon they recovered their spirits.
The latest novels are first published on the 69th book bar!

The boy in bed No. 5 took out a small bottle of wine from under the bed, poured a little on the bed rails, and wiped the blood drops on it.
The little girl in bed No. 10 hugged the teddy bear and kept saying, "Bear Warrior, you are Lily's favorite Bear Warrior."
The children were busy with their own things, as if they could not see the scarred Chen Xi on the ground.

Yu Tong returned to bed No. 12 before the prop effect ended.
He was just a little chicken, and there were too many people around him so he couldn't show up. Seeing that no one paid attention to Chen Xi for a long time, he looked a little anxious.
Where is the villain's younger brother? Why doesn't the little mushroom-head come over to take care of his brother?

Yu Tong pouted his chicken mouth and pecked the back of the little mushroom's head from a distance.
The mushroom-head sat on the bed with his back to the wall, hugging his legs.
After a while, he got up from the bed and helped Chen Xi up.

Seeing this, the dark-skinned boy on bed No. 3 ran over to help push Chen Xi to the upper bunk.
Looking at the two boys' strenuous movements, Yu Tong raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
Since it took so much effort to send Chen Xi up, why not temporarily switch positions with him and let him sleep on the lower bunk for one night?
Little Mushroom has a mysophobia and a strong sense of territory. He doesn't like people to sleep on his bed?
Finally, Lily on bed No. 10 put down the little bear warrior and lent a hand on the upper bunk. They moved the oldest Chen Xi to the upper bunk.

Listening to the conversation of several children, Yu Tong realized that the mushroom-headed boy was actually called Little Mushroom.
The black-skinned boy in bed No. 3 is called Little Coal Ball, and the two twin sisters in beds No. 1 and No. 2 are called Big Sugar and Little Sugar.
Most of the children in other beds also have similar names.

From this point of view, only the little villain Chen Xi and the girl in bed No. 10, Lily, have normal names.
The villain and his brother, whether in appearance or name, are not the same style. They are indeed not brothers.
Yu Tong felt that this orphanage was really wrong the more he looked at it.

Little Coal Ball and Little Mushroom discussed for a while, and exchanged two bottles of milk and a small piece of bread for a bottle of wine from the boy in bed No. 5.
Yu Tong arched in the gap between the bed and the wall for a while, moved back into Chen Xi's quilt, and secretly looked out.
Little Mushroom took off Chen Xi's clothes and poured wine on his wound. Little Coal Ball wiped his back with a rag filled with wine.

Yu Tong has not seen such a rough treatment for a long time.
Chen Xi groaned and fainted from the pain.
The system couldn't bear it any longer.

[No, this world is so scary and cruel. The villain is so young, I'm worried that he will be tortured to death. Xiao Yu, I'll take another night off tonight and go get some special props. ]
[The express delivery on the left is the props I bought in the afternoon, and the ones on the right are my own express delivery. The prop box contains human text instructions, you can disassemble and install them yourself. I'm leaving first, bye! ]
The little light ball ran out of the door, leaving Yu Tong alone to do the task.

He observed carefully for a while and found that the two children were more like cleaning the blood on Chen Xi's body than healing Chen Xi's wounds.
Yu Tong had a vague guess in his heart.
He returned to the gap and looked down at the lower bunk.

Several children living in the lower bunk were cleaning the blood on the ground.
After wiping with clean water, pour wine, spray perfume, and scatter flower petals.
Until a child lay on the ground and smelled carefully, raised his head and said that he couldn't smell it, the other children stopped.

Yu Tong raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
Is it that the orphanage does not allow blood in the room, or will blood bring some danger?
After dealing with the blood stains on Chen Xi's body, Xiao Meiqiu returned to bed No. 3 and continued to be in a daze.
The bamboo basket was broken, and Yu Tong had no chicken coop to live in. He hid in the quilt, shaking off the dust on his body while listening to the movement outside.

Xiao Mushroom complained in a low voice, "Brother, if you promised to love the nun, you wouldn't be beaten. Now that you have lost so much blood, I don't know if you can make it to the evening."
Chen Xi was still in a coma and couldn't answer him.
Xiao Mushroom took out a slightly clean rag and wrapped it around Chen Xi's head, which was considered to be bandaging the wound.

Lily took out a small bottle of ointment from the interlayer of the quilt. Use your fingertips to dig out a soybean-sized amount and let Xiao Mushroom apply it on the rag.
Judging from the attitude of these children towards Chen Xi before, Yu Tong didn't think they would be so kind to help the little villain.
Except for Coal Ball in bed No. 3 and Mushroom in bed No. 11, they really care about Chen Xi's life and death. The others are busying around, more like to protect themselves.

Yu Tong guessed correctly.
When the dormitory was completely free of the smell of blood, the boy sitting in bed No. 5 immediately turned cold.
"Mushroom, when are you going to move out of the dormitory?"

Little Mushroom didn't say anything.
The boy folded his hands, "We have heard about you stealing eggs. Can you not cause more trouble to others?"
"There are so many chicken coops, and there are so many people stealing eggs. It's not just us two. There are people stealing in other dormitories. Why are you yelling at me!"

"The younger brother is a dog of the nun, and the older brother is a thief. You two brothers are both disgusting."
"You are talking nonsense! Don't think I don't know what you did in private! We are all the same, what qualifications do you have to scold me!"
Lily said timidly beside her: "The little bear warrior said that the real devil is hidden among us. Let's stop fighting and fight the devil together."

The boy picked up the socks he had just taken off and threw them on Lily's bed, "Crazy girl, shut up! Sooner or later I will throw your little bear into the pit!"
"You are a devil! The little bear warrior will punish you!!!"
β€”β€”β€”β€”

The dormitory was noisy, and the children's voices were sharp and piercing. Yu Tong had a headache when he heard it.
Seeing Xiao Mushroom get off the bed and leave, Yu Tong simply sat in Chen Xi's hand and began to unpack the express delivery left by the system.
There were three express deliveries on the left. The first two express deliveries contained a handle remote control and a red helmet.

These two things need to be put together to use. The prop is called "Remote Control Little Flying Chicken".
The chicken puts on the helmet and can fly under the control of others.
The specific flight height, duration and speed depend on the skill of the person holding the handle.

Chen Xi was not awake yet, so Yu Tong took the helmet out of the space and put it on the chicken's head to try.
The next second, a mechanical female voice sounded in his mind, [Welcome to use the remote control little flying chicken. You can adjust the direction of the little flying chicken by shaking the joystick.]
[Press the red button on the right to release the skill "Chicken Charge". The chicken in the charge state will get a bonus to speed and strength. The chicken will crash into the target and peck at the opponent with its beak, causing scraping damage. 】

【Press the green button on the right to release the skill β€˜Which came first, the chicken or the egg?’ to cause mental damage to the enemy, making the enemy think about life and enter a 5-second stagnation state. 】
【Press and hold the yellow button on the right to enter the team channel mode and communicate with the little flying chicken remotely. 】
Yu Tong:……

The system has been fooled by which live streamer again.
Putting away the props, Yu Tong opened the last express on the left.
The box was very small, with only a bottle and a piece of letter paper full of words inside.

The words on the letter paper were only understandable by the system. The glass bottle was filled with small white particles, which looked like some kind of medicine.
This was a delivery for the system, but it was misplaced.
Yu Tong was about to put the things back in the box, and suddenly saw two words on the letter paper that he could understand - β€˜Yu Tong’

Yu Tong has been bound to the system for more than 20 years. Although he did not secretly learn the system’s language, he also had some understanding of their civilization.
He knew the names of humans, but he couldn't translate them into the system's text, so he could only write them out normally.
But why did his name appear in the express delivery to the system?

Are the white particles in this bottle prepared for him?
β€”β€”β€”β€”
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the orphanage's bedtime bell rang, and the lights in the dormitory were turned off on time.

All the children climbed into bed in an orderly manner, and no one spoke in the corridor. The dormitory was dead silent.
But Yu Tong knew that the children in the room were not asleep. He could hear their trembling and nervous breathing.
When it was almost 0 o'clock, Chen Xi, who had fainted from the pain, finally regained consciousness.

What came into view was the dormitory with the lights turned off. Chen Xi frowned and closed his mouth without making any sound.
The wound was treated roughly, and he was in great pain all over his body.
After a few quick gasps, Chen Xi suddenly felt that there seemed to be something furry in his hand.

He tried to move his fingers and touched a warm and soft fur ball.
It was his and his brother's chick, Jinbi.
Remembering that Jinbi ran to the door and made a sound to lead Sister Love away. Chen Xi pursed his lips and couldn't help but hold the chick tightly in his hand.

Jinbi nudged his palm back and forth, as if to comfort him.
Chen Xi's brows relaxed a little.
At this moment, the tightly closed dormitory door was suddenly pushed open.

The old wooden door made a creaking sound, which was particularly harsh in the silent room.
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly.
Lily, who was in bed No. 10, cried a little bit.

The little mushroom on the lower bunk trembled even more violently, and the upper bunk also shook slightly.
Yu Tong wanted to get out to see who entered the dormitory. Just after taking two steps, Chen Xi pinched the chick's mouth.
Like other children, the young villain was also very scared.

He endured the pain in his body, moved down little by little, and hid his head in the quilt.
Yu Tong was caught by the villain Chen Ge, and covered with a quilt. He could not see anything, and could only listen with his ears erect.
The old wooden floor made a creaking sound. It seemed that someone was walking on it, but no footsteps could be heard.

The temperature in the dormitory dropped sharply, and even Yu Tong, who was held in his palm, felt that the quilt was not so warm.
β€˜Ding——’
A crisp sound came from outside, like the sound of glass being hit by an object.

Yu Tong pondered carefully for a while, and an idea came to his mind.
Could it be that the thing that entered the dormitory hit the light bulb on the roof with its head?
But Yu Tong had observed the dormitory before.

The dormitory structure of this orphanage is special. The dormitory is very narrow horizontally, but the roof is built very high.
From the ground to the roof, it is at least four meters high.
With my feet on the ground and my head touching the roof, what on earth could have come into this room?

However, since this is a world created by magic fantasy novels, it seems normal for monsters to appear.
Yu Tong wanted to go out and take a look, but Chen Xi wouldn't let him.
It seemed that as long as he showed his head, he would be in danger.

'Squeak-squeak-'
The strange sound of footsteps entered the deepest part of the room from the door and stopped next to bed No. 5.
Yu Tong could hear the boys in beds No. 5 and No. 6, breathing with tremors.

At this moment, a deep inhalation sounded in the room.
Yu Tong's heart sank.
The monster in the room was sniffing the floor.

'Squeak-'
'Squeak-'
The footsteps sounded, and the tables and chairs between the beds on both sides were knocked over, making a banging sound.

The next second, Yu Tong heard the inhalation sound again.
This time the inhalation sound was very close, just above his head.
