Always Ending Up as an Animal Cub

The student dormitory in the theology classroom is not far away. It only takes two or three minutes to run from here.
That's why Chen Xi acted leisurely before.
The knocking on the door continued, and Chen Xi hesitated whether to open the door. There was no peephole in the wooden door of the orphanage, and he was not sure who was outside.

However, the risk of opening the door or not was actually the same. After 5 o'clock, the big centipede would come out of the hole in the wall and attack all living things left in the dormitory.
In this orphanage, the dormitory has never been a safe place.
After thinking this through, Chen Xi opened the door.

Lily, holding a teddy bear, and the pale-faced little coal ball appeared in front of him. Little Coal Ball was so anxious that he cried, "The door was locked from the outside. Lily and I shouted at the door for a long time, but no one came to open the door. What should I do, Chenxi!"
Chenxi thought for a while, "I remember that every time before class, there would be nuns walking around the dormitory building, as if they were checking something. They would not leave until the class bell rang, and the nuns would not lock the door."
"We heard the nun's footsteps through the door, but I called her for help, and she told me to wait for death."

"The little bear warrior said that the nun knows everything."
Chenxi's face suddenly became ugly.
With three minutes left before class, he ran out of the dormitory first, followed by a group of panicked and crying little tails.

The dormitory building has two floors, and there is only one exit on the first floor.
Every room has windows, but the windows are installed very high, nearly two meters away from the ground.
These children have been malnourished for a long time and are much shorter than children of the same age. Even if they were stacked up, it would be difficult to climb out of the window.

Chen Xi ran to the door and pushed it hard, but the heavy wooden door did not respond at all.
When all the children were paying attention to the door, Yu Tong poked his head out of the villain's pocket and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
This was his first time to visit the corridor of the dormitory building.

Above the wooden door more than two meters high, there was a goat head hanging. From a certain angle, you can see a strange red light flashing in the eyes of the goat head.
On the wall to the right of the wooden door, there was a duty list. It showed that after the meal at 7 o'clock this afternoon, there were only two nuns on night duty in the entire orphanage.
The other nuns were either on rotation or on sick leave. It is estimated that they all planned to skip work and go to the pet beauty pageant.
Yu Tong was staring at the flower bed on the left side of the wooden door, and suddenly his peripheral vision saw a black mouse hole hidden behind the flower bed on the left side of the wooden door.

The size and shape are exactly the same as the hole behind the metal cabinet in the dormitory.
Yu Tong thought for a moment.
Oh... he understood.

Chen Xi did not push the door open. He pulled the small coal ball and the small mushroom and tried to climb out through the window.
Even if the three children tried their best, they could only barely touch the edge.
Seeing that there was only one minute left, Chen Xi quickly looked around, trying to find a safe place to hide, but he had no idea where to hide.

He jumped to the ground, walked to Lily and whispered: "What else did your little bear warrior say."
Lily hugged the little bear in her arms tightly, "It said that the person who closed the door is among us. You should stay away from that person, he will eat you."
Chen Xi tilted his head to think about her words, and glanced at the two boys beside him, "Since the person who closed the door is among us, it is better for us to act separately to avoid being attacked by hidden people. If you feel scared, you can also team up in pairs."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the little mushroom beside him, "Together, brother."
The boy lowered his head and didn't look at him, and stepped to stand next to the little coal ball.
The little coal ball wiped his tears with sobs, "I'm scared, why should we separate, I want to go with you."

Lily was whispering to the teddy bear in her arms.
The teddy bear didn't react much. Lily was the only one who spoke and nodded throughout the whole process, but it looked like there was ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) a question and answer.
She acted too strangely, and the two boys shrank back.

Seeing Lily put down the little bear, Chen Xi asked calmly: "What did the little bear warrior say again?"
"It gave me a team-up suggestion. I will go with the little coal ball. You go with the little mushroom. When the matter is over, we will meet in front of the door of the first floor lobby."
"What is it."

"The little bear warrior won't let me say it. It said you will know. If you don't know, then you'd better die here."
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows, grabbed the little mushroom's wrist, and led him to the depths of the corridor.
The little coal ball wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Lily holding the big bear.

Seeing that Chen Xi had no intention of waiting for him, he reluctantly followed Lily to another direction.
————
There were other children in the dormitory who were trapped in the building.

They ran back and forth in the building anxiously, sobbing in fear from time to time.
'Dong-dong-dong'
As the melodious bell rang, the noisy dormitory building suddenly quieted down.

In order to survive, the trapped children each found a place to hide.
Chen Xi pulled Little Mushroom back to his dormitory.
He adopted Little Chicken's suggestion, and together with Little Mushroom, he pushed all the iron cabinets in the room inward to block the holes in the wall.

Then he used padlocks to seal all the iron cabinets, ensuring that even if the monster drilled through the cabinet, it would not be able to get out for a while.
Chen Xi climbed to the upper bunk and squatted on the iron cabinet closest to the door.
Little Mushroom wanted to kill Chen Xi and take Little Chicken for himself, and he thought Chen Xi must have thought so too.

Worried about being attacked, he rejected Chen Xi's invitation. He followed his example and squatted on the iron cabinet opposite.
When the two children finished, the room fell into silence.
The duration of this class is one hour, and dinner time is 7 pm.

The rules say that children can move freely in the orphanage during unscheduled time periods. The nun didn't say what the restricted range of activities was, only that they couldn't enter any door.
So as long as they could make it to 6 o'clock, they could leave the dormitory alive.
Even if the dormitory door was not open at that time, they could still get an hour of rest time.

Yu Tong was not very panicked, and even had some free time to ask Chen Xi to help him find the diary that Lily had hidden under the mattress.
The system rubbed its matchstick hands nervously, [I envy you, Xiao Yu, I also want to be as calm as you in times of crisis. ]
Yu Tong flipped through the diary and said absentmindedly: 'It's okay, I have saved a bunch of props, and the preparations are quite sufficient, I should be able to last an hour. '

[Xiao Yu Yu, I'm thinking about something. Since the bolt is placed outside, why does Lily's bear say that the person who closed the door is among these children? ]
'People can't do this, so the child who closed the door is not a person, but a demon hidden among us, a little coal ball. '
[...Ah? ]

‘On the first day we came here, we found a note in the teddy bear’s stomach. It said that the devil was hidden in the body of the child in bed 3. This is our secret. Lily is the bravest child. Only you can save the world, little bear warrior. ’
‘Lily and her bear knew who the devil was, but the time was too short and they didn’t have time to deal with the devil. Little bear warrior is alive. It knows that I have seen the note and knows that I know who the devil is. ’
[But the villain has seen the paper...]

‘His chicken warrior can tell him. ’
[Ah, that’s right. ]
By observing Chen Xi’s reaction, Yu Tong felt that he had only seen that the child who locked the door was not a human, and did not see that the little coal ball was a devil.

After the little bear warrior assigned the team, he knew everything.
Lily often pointed to a child and said that the child had a devil in his body. Not long after, the child she named would die tragically.
The reason why the little bear warrior chose to let Lily and the little coal ball team up was nothing more than to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of this demon.

The system thought it made sense after listening, [How did the little coal ball close the door and come back in? ]
'He left the dormitory building before Lily, and after leaving, he turned into a monster and closed the door. He got into the building from the hole behind the flower pot next to the door, and turned back into a human to greet Lily who was about to leave. ’
'Last night, Sister Love checked the dormitory and found the note hidden in the belly of the little bear warrior. She knew that the demon was the little coal ball in bed number three, and she knew that the other nuns knew it too. After the dormitory building was locked, the little coal ball kept shouting in a pretentious manner. Hearing his voice, the nuns immediately understood that this was the devil's plan, so no one came to open the door. ’

[Wow——]
'There is also the most direct evidence. In the practical class this morning, Lily was protected by the little bear warrior, and the nuns and priests did not dare to do anything to her. Chen Xi, Xiao Mushroom and other surviving children all gritted their teeth and completed the practical tasks. ’
‘Only Xiao Meiqiu did nothing. When the children rebelled, he was frightened and fainted, and did not wake up until the end of get out of class. How strong a background does it have to be to dare to skip class under the eyes of the priest? ’

The system stopped talking.
It found that Yu Tong knew everything, but did not tell it anything in advance, which was very unfraternal.
Thinking of the unpacked express box, the system was a little nervous.

That was the medicine sent by the boss to it, asking it to secretly feed it to Yu Tong. It was said that it was a good medicine that would benefit Yu Tong, but he must not notice it.
What a contradictory statement.
The system never found a chance to feed it, and it always felt that Yu Tong was guarding against it.

————
Unlike Yu Tong expected, the notebook that Lily hid under the mattress was neither a diary nor a fairy tale book, and the content on it was very strange.
[So many clouds, a cloudy day without the sun, the god of the marshland. ]

[The Marsh God likes wet ground. He likes to go to the bathroom, washroom and all places with water. In order to take care of his believers, he will only stay in the same building with his believers. We have to avoid his believers. ]
[Dark sky, very dark sky without light, big cat. ]
[Big cat always appears in dark, small and crowded places. He hates light very much. He will only stay in dark places. We should ignore him. ]

[When the temperature is below 0 degrees, the temperature will drop sharply and the room will become very cold. The three brothers Bingbingliang. ]
[The three brothers Bingbingliang have no believers. He can go anywhere. He is very powerful, but he is very picky about food. We can't make a sound or bleed. ]
What makes Yu Tong feel relieved is that Lily is also a child who loves art, just like the illegitimate child who died next door.

In addition to the text, she also carefully drew pictures under each piece of paper.
The picture of the Marsh God is a big eye with curled eyelashes.
The picture of the Big Meow is a mess of black lines.

The picture of the three brothers Bingbingliang is a simple little man with three heads and hands all over his body.
The more Yu Tong looked, the more surprised he became. He raised his little chicken claws and poked Chen Xi's ankles.
Chen Xi looked down and immediately connected his brain circuit with the little chicken.

The monster that was attracted by the smell of blood last night and wanted to twist his head off was Bing...
Chen Xi was speechless for a moment. What a strange name.
I guess Lily and the little bear warrior didn't know what it was called, so they just picked one randomly.

Why is it that among the same monsters, only the Marsh God has a name.
Is it because the Marsh God has believers, but the other two monsters don't?
Chen Xi stroked the paper with his fingertips, and his peripheral vision swept to the little yellow chicken at hand, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

If he gave the chicken a proper name and became its believer, would the chicken always protect him in the future?
Just like Lily and her little bear warriors, the swamp god and its believers?
Chen Xi still had things to do, he had to escape the orphanage alive.

————
This book recorded all the monsters that Lily knew.
The first part was the conditions for the monsters to appear, and the second part was the names of the monsters.

Then there were the places where the monsters interacted, and whether the monsters were tough, and whether the little bear warriors could defeat them.
Finally, there was a picture of the monster.
The painting was very abstract, but the features were distinct, and it was easy to match it with the monsters in reality.

Yu Tong flipped through it roughly and found something very scary.
Lily's cartoon book had a total of thirty pages, and she recorded it on both sides. At present, the book in Yu Tong's hand has recorded more than twenty kinds of monsters.
On the blank inner page of the first chapter of the book, a line of childish small characters was written crookedly - [Notes compiled by Lily and the little bear warrior·Volume 2]

The latest novel will be first published on the 69th book bar!
This means that Lily's monster encyclopedia has at least an upper volume, and may even have a middle volume.
In the booklet that Yu Tong got, there was no giant centipede monster that would go through the hole in the dormitory wall and eat children.

If the encyclopedia only has upper and lower volumes, and each volume has thirty sheets of paper and sixty monsters, there must be at least eighty or ninety monsters in this orphanage.
After listening to Yu Tong's words, the system said "Fuck".
[What is this for? Putting a bunch of monsters in the orphanage, are you going to raise Gu! ]

Yu Tong was stunned.
Raising Gu?
Noble lords, videos, monster believers...

An idea flashed through his mind, but before Yu Tong could think about it carefully, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly rang out in the dead silent dormitory.
'Sizzle——'
'Squeak——'

Yu Tong tilted his head and listened carefully to the direction of the sound.
The next second, the two people and the chicken in the dormitory turned their heads and looked at the iron cabinet between beds No. 11 and No. 9.
There was a constant scratching sound coming from behind the cabinet.

Something was trying to get into this dormitory through the blocked hole in the wall.
I don't know where Lily took the little coal ball to hide to exorcise the demon. The corridor was quiet, without any sound.
The scratching sound in the dormitory became louder and louder, and even the double-layer iron cabinet filled with things began to shake slightly.

Chen Xi gestured to the little mushroom on the cabinet opposite to keep quiet.
At this time, the boy did not compete with Chen Xi, but when he looked at Chen Xi, his eyes were still full of hatred.
Perhaps in his heart, if Chen Xi had not dragged his feet and insisted on leaving the dormitory on time. If Chen Xi had not helped him bring his schoolbag, he had to come back to get it himself.

He could have arrived at the classroom safely like other children, instead of being trapped in a closed dormitory building waiting to die.
When you hate someone, everything that person does is wrong.
Chen Xi and Little Mushroom looked at each other and turned their heads silently.

Three minutes later, the monster in the cave seemed to realize that it could not scratch the iron sheet with its ability.
The scratching sound stopped abruptly, and several people in the dormitory heard a rustling sound, which gradually disappeared from large to small.
The crisis was resolved, and Little Mushroom collapsed on the cabinet like a faint.

Yu Tong felt that the situation was not good, but he could not tell what was wrong.
Little Mushroom found a diary from the twin sisters' bed. He tore off a page and started writing on it.
Big and small Sugar Cubes both died in the practical class this morning.

When Lily told them that the dead would come back and that they could not touch the relics, Little Mushroom had not returned to the dormitory.
Chen Xi looked at the dagger he had been holding tightly in his hand, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Little Mushroom crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi opened the paper ball, and Yu Tong looked out curiously.
[Brother, I know I was wrong. I am sorry for what happened today. You have always been very good to me. I shouldn't be jealous of you, and I shouldn't vent my anger on you. ]
[I also want to go with you to see the legendary mermaids, elves, goblins and dwarves. We still have many promises to fulfill and many delicious foods to eat. Little Chicken is right. The money it sells is enough for the two of us to share. We shouldn't quarrel over such things. ]

[Please forgive me. I was just too scared of my previous willfulness. Brother Chenchen, let's make peace. 】
Chen Xi raised his head, and the little mushroom opposite was looking at him eagerly. Their eyes met, and the boy smiled at him flatteringly.
After all, he was still his only friend in the orphanage.

His heart softened, and just as he began to recall their past, the chicken suddenly pecked his fingertips fiercely.
Chen Xi was silent for a long time, and showed a gentle and tolerant smile to the little mushroom.
Before the boy opposite had time to be happy, a rustling sound was heard again in the silent room.

The sound became louder and louder from far to near, but the sound of scratching the iron cabinet was delayed.
The two children began to fidget, and their eyes kept looking at each cabinet.
At the same time, the rustling movement suddenly disappeared, and the monster seemed to have left again.

Chen Xi's heart just settled down, and he suddenly saw a yellow chicken next to him, staring in one direction.
A thought emerged in his heart, and Chen Xi followed the chicken's line of sight and turned his head stiffly.
In the middle of the dormitory wall, more than two meters above the ground, is the only window in this room.

At this time, a bloody girl's head was slowly rising from the glass window. A pair of eyes that were still open in death stared straight into the room.
As the head rose, the girl's eyeballs began to turn left and right.
In the end, the two eyes, one left and one right, looked at Chen Xi and the little mushroom on both sides at the same time, like a chameleon.

Iron cabinets and wooden doors can block monsters, but I don't know if windows made of glass can block them.
As soon as this thought came to Chen Xi's mind, he saw the corners of the little girl's mouth curled up, revealing a weird smile.
Then, a sharp tentacle suddenly popped out of her mouth and stabbed the edge of the glass.

‘Crack-Crack-Crack’
The cracks spread rapidly on the window, and with a sharp sound, the glass window completely shattered.
Chen Xi did not hesitate, jumped off the bed, opened the door and ran outside, and Little Mushroom followed him closely.

There was a bang in the room, and the big centipede jumped in from the window and crawled wildly on the ground.
Chen Xi originally wanted to close the dormitory door, but the centipede was too fast and there was no time.
He gave up closing the door and pulled Little Mushroom to run to the bathroom deep in the corridor.

When passing the stairs leading to the second floor, the two clearly heard the sound of an axe chopping bones and a boy's shrill screams from upstairs.
"Help!!! It hurts so much, please let me go, please don't cut my legs!"
"Uncle Jill, I know I was wrong, please don't cut my legs! I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I didn't see anything, I won't talk nonsense again!!!"

Yu Tong stuck his head out, trying to listen more carefully.
But the boy seemed to be in pain, and he just kept shouting a few words.
A big monster with more than a hundred legs is just faster than a little kid with two legs.

Seeing that the distance between the big centipede and the two was less than five meters, the little mushroom asked anxiously while running: "Brother, where are you going!"
Chen Xi pursed his cracked lips, "To the bathroom."
"Is it safe there?"

"The bathroom is the territory of another monster called the Wetland God. The Wetland God should not be here now, so it is probably safe there."
Before he finished speaking, the little mushroom running behind him suddenly grabbed his slightly long white hair and pulled it back hard.
Chen Xi groaned in pain, and his body fell backwards involuntarily.

Little Mushroom bypassed him, rushed to the bathroom first, and locked the door from the inside without hesitation.
System: ? ? ?
[Fuck you little beast! ]

Yu Tong:...
He couldn't stand this grievance, he was angry.
Feeling the strong killing intent from the telepathic prop, Yu Tong knew that Little Mushroom was dead this time.

The rustling sound was approaching, Chen Xi got up with a cold face and prepared to run to the nearby dormitory.
Yu Tong jumped out of his pocket, "Run upstairs, there are monsters up there, stand in the middle of the stairs and observe the reaction of the big centipede!"
"No, the monster on the second floor may come down."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, you won't become a sandwich."
Chen Xi made a sharp turn, and the big centipede missed, and roared.
The distance between the tentacles and Chen Xi began to shorten rapidly.

Two meters.
One meter.
Half a meter.

Just before the tentacles touched his ankles, Chen Xi stepped onto the stairs to the second floor.
The monster suddenly retracted its tentacles and wandered at the stairs, with hundreds of legs scratching the ground irritably.
Chen Xi slowly sat down with the handrail, holding his chest and panting violently.

Yu Tong stood above him, tilting his head and looking up.
On the wall at the corner of the stairs, there was a huge portrait of a goddess. From a certain angle, the goddess' eyes flashed with a strange red light.
Just like the sheep head hanging at the door.

‘Dong——’
‘Dong——’
The boy's screams disappeared at some point, and a heavy sound of footsteps was coming from far to near towards the stairs.

Chen Xi turned around, and a fat man carrying a huge axe slowly walked into his field of vision.
His tall body was covered with dense suture marks. A pair of mung bean-sized eyes flashed scarlet light.
