The nun in the lead was Sister Love from last night.

Seeing Chen Xi standing in front of the bed, she looked at him meaningfully, took out the notebook tucked under her arm, turned to one of the pages and started calling the roll.

"Big sugar cube!"

The girl standing by bed number 1 immediately raised her hand, "Here!"

"Little sugar cubes!"

"exist!"

"Little coal!"

"exist!"

"Small cheese! Fork, small pot lid, small bread..."

The system tutted, [What kind of a name is this?]

The next door dorm was also taking roll call, and through the wall I could hear the nun calling out, "Chocolate, orange jelly beans, little stools!"

In contrast, the more Yu Tong listened, the more he felt that Chen Xi and Lily, who had human names, must have very special identities.

Sister Love finished her roll call and began checking the lockers, beds, and desks.

The two nuns following behind searched each child one by one.

Yu Tong was still hiding in the small gap from yesterday and was not discovered by the nun.

While searching one of the lockers, a nun found a half-eaten candy inside.

Sister Love looked at the cabinet number, grabbed the little sugar cube standing by the door, and slapped her hard.

"How many times have I told you not to eat candy? You can't eat candy without permission!"

The little girl with a ponytail was so scared that she screamed and cried, "I didn't put it there. I didn't know there was candy in the cupboard!"

Her twin sister stood nearby, wanting to help but not daring to speak out.

Sister Ai took off her necklace and thrust it in front of Little Sugar Cube. "Tell me again, were you the one who hid the sugar and ate it secretly?"

"I didn't, I didn't..."

The voice of Little Sugar Cube stopped abruptly.

Under Yu Tong's astonished gaze, densely packed thin iron wires suddenly emerged from the black stone inlaid on the necklace pendant.

The wire pierced through Little Sugar's skin in the blink of an eye, quickly wrapped around her lips, and finally sewed her mouth tightly shut.

“Woo—woo—”

Little Sugar covered her mouth and uttered an inarticulate scream. Blood flowed from between her fingers, leaving spots of blood on the ground.

The system screamed, "Fuck, fuck, how cruel! Wait, is that pendant supposed to detect if the child is lying? No wonder she takes out the necklace and spins it around every time she asks a question."

[It's okay, at least the child is still alive. Oh, poor little thing, it hurts so much to see him.]

Yu Tong sighed silently, "She's not really alive, she's already dead. Her mouth is sewn shut so tightly that it's hard for her to even drink water. She'll starve to death sooner or later."

【……】

[Ahhh! This orphanage is so depressing! I hate this world! ! !]

Yu Tong had seen this kind of thing many times, so he didn't feel much fluctuation in his heart.

He just thought it was a pity that the little girl lost her life just because she stole half a candy.

The thin wire returned to the pendant, and Sister Love put away the necklace. She grabbed Little Sugar by the ponytail and glanced coldly at the other children in the room.

"I'll say it again, no one is allowed to steal candy. This is the rule! The same will apply when the orphanage opens in nine days. You can go to the market to buy meat, bread, and clothes. But you can't buy candy, and you can't eat candy. Remember!"

The nun behind Sister Love took out a bunch of candies from her pocket and used them as a teaching demonstration, telling them which ones they could eat and which ones they couldn't.

The frightened children nodded randomly.

Sister Ai casually threw the small sugar cube on the ground and continued to check the dormitory.

After making sure there were no other contraband, the nuns turned and went to the next dormitory.

Before leaving the room, Sister Love walked up to Little Mushroom and gently touched his head.

He turned to look at Chen Xi again, sneered, "Little fox, your father will be executed tomorrow. First he will be whipped, and then he will be dragged on the ground by a horse for three hours."

"Three hours, Chenxi. His belly will be rubbed raw, and his internal organs will be exposed everywhere. Your father is dying, do you want to see him one last time?"

Sister Ai raised her hand and pinched Chen Xi's chin, forcing him to look up, then took out the necklace and made him stare at it.

"If you want, come to me tonight. I'll not only find you medicine to reduce your fever, but I'll also take you to see your father."

Chen Xi's face became even paler, and his thin body trembled constantly.

Yu Tong, who possessed the telepathic prop, felt a strong hatred and unwillingness rising in his heart.

Chen Xi said with a choked voice: "I'm not going."

"You didn't go to see your mother when she died. Now your father is dying too, why don't you go see him for the last time? You're so smart, maybe you can find a way to save your father."

The second half of Sister Love's words clearly hit the villain's soft spot.

He bit his lower lip and was silent for a while, "I'm not going."

Sister Love glared at him coldly, put away the necklace, turned around and left the dormitory.

"Breakfast starts at 6 o'clock today, and classes start at 9 o'clock. Everyone must be in the cafeteria on time. No lateness allowed!"

————

As the nuns' footsteps faded away, the children in the dormitory gradually relaxed.

Little Sugar Cube's mouth was sewn shut, and she cried in pain. Big Sugar Cube hugged her sister, stamping her feet anxiously.

Beds 3 and 4 were closest to them. Little Coal Ball and Little Cheese took out rags and frantically wiped the blood drops on the floor.

It's just 4:30 now, and there's still more than an hour until breakfast.

The children took towels and cups of water and went out together to wash up.

The little villain Chen Xi loves cleanliness and is a delicate boy.

Even though her face was red with fever, she still carried the small basin and went to the bathroom with her brother.

This reminded Yu Tong of his brother Chen.

In the previous world, he had already figured out that the little black dog in his childhood memory was his brother Chen.

Xiao Chenqing was abducted by his parents and tied up in the yard like a dog.

Every time it rained, the other tied people would hide in a corner to avoid the rain.
