Before the effect of the 'Eagle Catches Chicken' prop disappeared, Yu Tong flew back to the bed.

The system gave him a tip, letting him use the props to transform into a human. The props lasted ten minutes, enough for him to explore the dormitory.

Yu Tong crawled into the gap between the wall and the bed and stuck himself in.

'Don't change it yet, and wait.'

The system was stunned. [What are you waiting for?]

"Wait until after six o'clock to see if there are any changes in the dormitory."

【？ 】

"Myna, have you ever read a novel about rules and strange stories? This orphanage gives me the feeling that it is a world of rules and strange stories."

The system pondered for a moment, its eyes lighting up. [I've seen it before... Yeah, it does look very similar! Everyone must stay in their beds at night. No sound is allowed, and no one must get out of bed. And no blood is allowed. Otherwise, you'll be eaten by the ice cone monster that appeared last night.]

Stealing eggs or candy would result in a beating from the nuns, and lying would result in a sewed shut mouth. In the morning, everyone had to gather for a dormitory inspection, and be at a designated location within a specified time. It really seemed like a rule-breaker.

"Yes, it's not necessarily a rule violation, but it's a similar situation. It's only five minutes until 6 o'clock, and the nun has emphasized that everyone must be in the cafeteria at 6 o'clock. I wonder what will happen if I stay in the dormitory and don't go to the cafeteria?"

The children had all left, and the dormitory was very quiet, with everyone waiting nervously.

Time slowly passed until 6 o'clock, and the dormitory was still dead silent.

The system couldn't bear such a depressing atmosphere, so it let Xiao Yuyu chat with it.

Yu Tong told it that the rules it had just mentioned were wrong and incomplete.

Stealing eggs wasn't a fixed rule; it was a new one added yesterday. Furthermore, most of the children in the orphanage, including Chen Xi and Little Mushroom, didn't know that stealing eggs wasn't allowed yesterday.

Otherwise, they would not hold the eggs in their hands carelessly after stealing them, so that passers-by can see them.

It's not that the orphans can't lie, but they can't lie to the pendant on the necklace when the nun asks specific questions.

This can be seen from the fact that the nun would put the pendant in front of the child before asking questions every time.

In addition, this pendant should have a special ability.

Once you promise something in front of the pendant, you can't regret it later.

So no matter how Sister Ai beat him, Chen Xi would not give in. Every time he would stiffen his neck and clearly say that he would not go.

However, the pendant also has obvious disadvantages.

Last night the nun interrogated Chen Xi about whether he had stolen eggs.

The little villain reacted quickly. He didn't say "I didn't steal the eggs", but "I didn't eat the eggs."

In the nun's subconscious, the child stole the eggs just to eat them, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Xi's answer.

But when she questioned him, she said 'stealing eggs', and the lies that the pendant was going to detect all revolved around 'stealing eggs'.

The villain turned the topic around to "stealing eggs"

He did not answer the nun's question, nor did he steal the eggs. He deceived both the nun and the pendant.

The system's eyes widened as it listened. [I don't think IQ has anything to do with age. If I were the one living in an orphanage, the grass on my grave would be three meters high.]

"Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, we are good brothers, I won't let you die."

【My love for you is not in vain! 】

More than ten minutes passed and the dormitory was still quiet.

Yu Tong was having fun teasing the system when he suddenly felt a gaze falling on him.

He stuck his head out and looked outside warily. The dormitory door was closed and there was no one in the room.

Yu Tong vaguely caught something in his mind.

At this moment, the system suddenly said hesitantly: "Yu'er, why don't we hide somewhere else? There's too much clutter under the bed, and I always feel like something is moving under the bed, which makes me feel uneasy."

Chapter 42 The Second World (5)

The moment Yu Tong heard the system's words, he caught a flash of information in his mind.

Last night, when he ran to the door to attract Sister Love's attention, he saw a rat hole in the wall behind the metal cabinet.

The dormitory door had never been opened and nothing had come in from outside.

So the one staring at him must have run out of the cave.

The system was still muttering: [This is weird, why do I feel like there's someone hiding under the bed?]

Yu Tong suddenly looked down.

In the darkness of bed No. 11, a dark shadow could be vaguely seen, looking up at the bed.

Its body is too thin and long, like a dry branch.

This is definitely not the body shape of a human or a mouse.

Thinking that the teddy bear was still in the dormitory yesterday, and that Lily took her Warrior Bear away before going out today, Yu Tong had a bad feeling in his heart.

The rule of going to the cafeteria on time at 6 o'clock is probably aimed not only at orphans, but also at all living things in the dormitory.

Lily has been with the Bear Warriors for a long time and knows this unspoken rule.

Chen Xi had just met Chicken Warrior, he had no experience and didn't expect this.

Yu Tong stared at the black shadow while moving out.

Chen Xi was not in the dormitory, so no one could use the props to control the chicken to fly.

The Eagle Catches Chicken props have just been used up and are still in the cooling-off period.

Now, the only things he can use are the mask that can transform him into a bear warrior and the small bag in which he can hide.

Just when Yu Tong was about to move back to the upper bunk, the dark shadow under the bed suddenly moved.

A rustling sound came from under the bed. As the thing crawled out of the crack in the wall, Yu Tong finally saw its appearance clearly.

It was a big insect, pitch black all over, with legs all over its body, and somewhat like a big centipede.

What’s more special is that it has the head of a five or six-year-old boy.

In Yu Tong's mind, a hundred ways to cook centipedes flashed through his mind, and a centipede this big was enough for him and Brother Chen to eat for several meals.
