He waved his hand, motioning Chen Xi and the others to follow him into the bathroom.

The moment the bathroom door opened, Chen Xi's eyes met the Marsh God floating around inside.

The huge eyeballs moved rapidly, and the cold and emotionless gaze made people's backs chill.

Yu Tong discovered that the character of the gods seemed to be related to their believers.

And the more he looked at the Marsh God, the more familiar he seemed.

How come the color of these eyes is so similar to Yekos's? If you magnify the boy's remaining eye several times, it will look exactly like the Marsh God.

The boy's feminine voice interrupted Yu Tong's thoughts.

"You two watch over the Marsh God. I have a question."

He walked up to Chen Xi and twisted his face with both hands, "You want to resist me?"

Chen Xi took a deep breath and said, "I want to."

"You want to kill me?"

"think."

The boy scoffed. "Tell me exactly how you plan to kill me."

Chen Xi didn't say anything, and the bathroom fell into a long silence.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, densely packed thin iron wires gradually grew out of the dark pupils of the Marsh God.

After a while, Chen Xi said calmly: "I want to kill you, but I don't have a plan yet."

Yekos narrowed his eyes, "Really?"

"No, I didn't make any plans to kill you."

"Will you kill me tonight?"

"I really want to, but I'm too weak to be your opponent."

Seeing that the Zedi God did not attack, the black-haired boy patted Chen Xi's shoulder with satisfaction and turned to ask Apple Sauce.

The girl knew nothing about anything and just wanted to get into the arms of the fairy godmother.

After making sure there was no danger, Yekos stopped the interrogation and took Chenxi and Apple Sauce out of the dormitory.

The corridor was quiet and the dormitory doors on both sides were closed.

Several strange-looking monsters were wandering in the corridor. Under the threat of the Marsh God, they circled around the three people and did not dare to attack.

Yekos led the two all the way to the confessional on the second floor, and they saw at least a dozen monsters along the way.

The more Yu Tong looked, the brighter his eyes became.

These are all walking experience packs. When he is free, he will bring the little bear warrior here to fight monsters and level up.

As Yekos knocked on the confessional door, the wandering monsters all turned their heads. Their greedy gazes fell on the few people, making them feel uncomfortable.

The wooden door with the goddess's statue on it opened, and Sister Love poked her head out.

However, in just a few days, the black hair on her body had grown to a terrifying extent.

When Yu Tong saw her for the first time, he thought she was a monster wearing a nun's uniform.

Sister Ai let a few people into the house, and her sticky eyes stared at Chen Xi's face.

"The priest is waiting for you downstairs. He's in a bad mood today, so his movements might be a lot rougher than usual. I've got some new healing potions. If you like them, you can trade them with me."

Yekos turned his head and looked at the nun in the dim yellow light of the bulb. "What do you want in exchange?"

"he."

"good."

These words were spoken without a beginning or an end. The system, which had been watching the excitement, couldn't help but ask: "What are they talking about?"

Yu Tong squatted above Chen Xi's head, looking at Sister Ai with cold eyes.

"Tonight, Yekos will attack Brother Chen and take his god for himself. When he succeeds, he will give Chenxi as a gift to Sister Ai."

[Fuck, giving the little boy to a perverted hairy monster?!]

"It's not what you think. Sister Ai is not human and has no interest in the little boy's body. She just wants to keep Brother Chen as a pet, like a little mushroom."

The system was so angry that it jumped up and down, calling Sister Ai an idiot.

Yu Tong pondered for a moment, then suddenly said with conviction: "The nuns in the orphanage are also domesticated gods. Like me, they are a race known to exist in this world."

"From the letter Chen Xi found in the mayor's warehouse, the nun must have been a ghoul brought to the priest by someone from outside. Ghouls can communicate with humans, and their intelligence and strength rise even higher after becoming gods. They can be tamed, making them well-suited to working in a training center where monsters are rampant."

The system felt a flash of inspiration in its brain, and became smart for a few seconds.

"You mean... the reason these nuns started growing long hair is because they're experiencing atavism and are degenerating into wild ghouls?"

"Yes, that's why they're so obsessed with pets. They're artificially summoned, mass-produced tool gods. Without the power of faith for a long time, their bodies and strength gradually deteriorate."

"Taking godless children as pets, one can use the method of whipping and sweetening to make the children regard them as their support to survive in the orphanage. Although they may not develop into followers of the nuns, they can still provide them with some strength."

[Oh—the little mushroom that loved the nun died early, so she degenerated the most. No wonder some nuns have long hair and some have short hair.]

Looking at Sister Love who was leading the way in front, Yu Tong's guess became more and more certain.

In such an important orphanage, no one had any connection to the imperial family. This meant that the orphanage had long since slipped out of imperial control and became the private property of the priests.

He makes money from pet competitions and the trafficking of older children, and may also be involved in the buying and selling of ownerless gods.

Even though he knew that only a god who had escaped from the orphanage could kill all the nobles in the town overnight, he had no intention of investigating further afterwards.

It would be best for the priest if all the nobles sent by the empire to supervise him died.

Yu Tong was fed up with this life of being controlled by others.

He wanted to take a risk and take over the orphanage.

Sister Love opened the secret door hidden deep in the confessional, revealing a dark and narrow staircase.

The stairs are very long and lead directly underground, and it is impossible to tell what is underneath.

Chen Xi followed the nun, all he could think about was what happened in the afternoon.
