The system thought about it seriously and said, "I understand what you said, but what does this have to do with the orphanage?"

"Of course it is related, because this orphanage is a product of war, and these orphans are victims of war."

Were they captured by the invaders?

"No, he was captured by his own people."

【……ah? 】

Chapter 47 The Second World (10)

To confirm his guess, Yu Tong returned to the chicken's body. He looked up at the boy leaning against the wooden door, ready to rush out at any moment. "Is there a war going on outside?"

Chen Xi was stunned and subconsciously looked down at him.

Seeing his reaction, Yu Tong said with understanding, "The ones fighting you aren't humans, but orcs or some other race?"

Chen Xi pursed her lips and said calmly, "I can't say it. We're not allowed to talk about this in the orphanage."

"Why?"

"The nun said it would spread panic. And it's been a long time since the war started."

"So it was the war between humans and orcs that destroyed your family? And the humans were attacked from both sides in the war, without gaining any advantage. Now the situation is very tense?"

Chen Xi was silent for a while. "I don't know. I heard from the nun that we were defeated."

As if thinking of his dead mother, Chen Xi, who had been stern all the time, became visibly depressed.

He lowered his eyes and looked quietly at the little yellow chicken in his hand. "I hate war."

The little yellow chicken in his hand tilted its head and stared at him seriously.

Reading the concern in the chick's eyes, for a moment, Chen Xi suddenly felt wronged and wanted to cry.

In an orphanage, crying is a very dangerous thing.

Tears will annoy the nuns, attract unknown monsters, and cause other children to look down on and exclude them.

Perhaps Lily is the only one who can cry whenever she wants.

Chen Xi took a few deep breaths and was about to hold back his tears.

At the same time, he heard a man's gentle voice coming from his palm, "It's okay, Chenxi, there are only two of us here. You've been holding it in for so long, you'll feel better if you cry."

"Lily has her little bear warrior, and you have your little chicken warrior, right? Chenxi, the chicken warrior is here, you can cry."

The boy stared at him intently for a long time, and after a long time, his thin body, which had been tense all the time, suddenly relaxed.

His lips began to tremble uncontrollably, and tiny sobs squeezed out of his throat.

Tears slid down his pale cheeks, falling drop by drop on Yu Tong.

Chen Xi bit his lower lip tightly, lowered his head and buried his face between his knees.

Yu Tong heard him repeat in a barely audible voice, "I hate war."

Yu Tong sighed lightly and said nothing.

The system waited for a long time, but the host continued to stroke the boy's cheek with its wings over and over again.

The system spoke hesitantly: [War is terrifying.]

'Yeah, it's really disgusting.'

【? It's over. Why didn't you say you've been through this before?】

"...I haven't experienced it. When I was born, the most recent war had ended decades ago. I lived in a peaceful era."

"Then why is it still such a mess over there? It seems like everyone's life is so miserable."

"Perhaps it's because humanity was defeated."

【???】

Considering Chen Xi's current unstable mental state, Yu Tong chose to stay with him and did not return to the system space to organize the information for the time being.

The little ball of light asked him, jumping around and jumping up and down.

What's going on back home? What does it mean that humans have been defeated? What's going on here with Chen Xi? Can you please stop being a riddler?

Yu Tong didn't know how to explain it to it. "My hometown is quite complicated. It has a long history and involves many major events. I'm not a history major, so I can't explain it to you clearly."

"You can simply understand it as humans fighting artificial intelligence, and humans losing."

[Fuck!]

"On Chenxi's side, it was a fight between humans and orcs, and the humans lost."

[Fuck!]

The system had given up thinking. It folded its arms in a serious expression. "Two wonderful worlds have been destroyed by war. War is truly horrible. Fortunately, I am lucky enough to live in a prosperous country. When the plane was upgraded, I also upgraded to become a system!"

Yu Tong was wiping Xiao Chenxi's tears. When he heard the system's words, he suddenly stopped what he was doing.

He didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after 8102 said this, he suddenly felt that the world he lived in was inexplicably similar to the world Chen Xi lived in.

Moreover, the system's words revealed a very important piece of information, that is, it was upgraded from a biological organism to a system.

It could be a human, a robot, or something else.

Thinking of how the system got angry at Mosaic in the previous world, throwing things around and insisting on watching him and Brother Chen applaud for love.

Yu Tong decided not to sleep with the system in his arms anymore.

So scary.

While he was talking to the system, the little villain who was crying quietly gradually calmed down.

He tapped the chicken in his palm with his fingertips.

Yu Tong tilted his head in confusion.

The moment their eyes met, Chen Xi, who had been keeping a stern face, raised the corner of his mouth to reveal a faint smile.

He thanked the chicken, his voice still with a distinct nasal tone.

Yu Tong shook the chicken claws and said, "We are friends. You don't have to be polite about such a small matter."

Chen Xi pursed his lips, "We are not friends. To me, you are something else."

Children don't have a large vocabulary to begin with, and Chenxi had neglected his studies for a long time. His words were vague, and Yu Tong couldn't guess what he meant.

He asked for a long time, but the boy still didn't know how to express his thoughts.

I just said seriously that chicks are more important and greater than friends.
