Chen Xi's eyes darkened, motioning him to continue.
"Today's lunch was provided by kind people, but the family doesn't like to drink milk. If you find milk in your food, please tell the nearest nun."
"The only thing you can't drink is milk, right?"
Little Mushroom thought about it carefully and nodded affirmatively, "I really like drinking milk. I didn't get to drink it yesterday, and I can't drink it today either. What a pity."
Chen Xi lowered his eyes and looked at him quietly for a long time, then said softly, "Yeah, what a pity."
————
Chen Xi did not ask Xiao Mushroom why he did not wake him up in the morning.
Little Mushroom didn't ask him if his fever had subsided, but was always concerned about how their little chicken gold coins were doing.
Hearing that the gold coin was fine and was now in Chenxi's pocket, Little Mushroom smiled happily.
At 9 o'clock sharp, all the orphans sat in the classroom on time.
A middle-aged priest in a black robe, holding a heavy book, walked up to the stage to give a lecture.
Yu Tong originally thought that the priest would tell stories about the gods and religious history centered around the gods they believed in.
But the course content has nothing to do with God.
The priest knocked on the blackboard and called the boy closest to the door, "Say your name."
The boy lowered his head. "Candy apple."
"Why did you end up in an orphanage?"
"Because my parents killed someone, I am their child and I deserve to be punished."
"Then how are you going to atone for your sins?"
The boy's expression was numb. He fell to his knees, slapping himself in the face and shouting, "I was wrong! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
The system was shocked.
[What's the point? It was his parents who killed people, not him. The murderer's child deserves to be beaten?]
Yu Tong frowned, realizing something was wrong. "I remember one of the rules today is that you must remain quiet throughout the class."
【But the priest asked him to answer the question.】
"Last night, when Sister Love was in the dormitory telling the children not to eat candy, another sister was standing behind them, holding various candies and demonstrating which ones were edible and which were not."
"If there are special circumstances in the class where speaking out is permitted, the nuns will explain them. So no matter what happens in this class, you must remain silent throughout."
The system froze for a few seconds. [But these kids are only twelve or thirteen at most. They're not adults, so how could they possibly understand so much? Pulling a bunch of kids into playing a game with rules and strange stories—isn't that just torture?]
Yu Tong didn't respond. He didn't know what the meaning of the orphanage was.
The priest looked at the boy's self-torture with an expressionless face, and raised his hand to signal him to return to his chair.
The order of asking questions is like a long snake, and the children sitting behind the boy are called one by one.
"My name is Little Gummy, and my parents are thieves. As the child of a thief, I should stay in the orphanage to atone for my sins."
The six-year-old girl stammered, then froze there, not knowing what to do. The nun closest to her came forward and slapped her hands hard with a wooden board.
The little girl screamed in pain, but she couldn't break free. The nun didn't let her go until her hands were covered in blood.
The boy sitting in the back was ten years old. His mother was a mistress. As the child of a mistress, he had to accept punishment.
The boy who came after him had his father lose all his money in the casino and his mother was forced to hang herself.
In this world, suicide is considered disrespectful to the gods and is against the law.
The boy's father is a gambler and his mother is disrespectful to the gods, so he will suffer two punishments.
The children's cries and screams echoed in the classroom.
Yu Tong felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.
This is not punishment at all, but torture and killing.
Soon all the children in the first row on the left were punished.
The orphan sitting first in the second row is the little girl Lily.
She held a pillow-sized teddy bear in her arms and raised her head proudly. "My mom is a witch, and my dad is an orc shaman. I was sent to an orphanage because I'm the child of a shaman and a wizard, and I'm the most special girl!"
The nun took a match and burned all of Lily's hair. Lily covered her head and sat on the ground crying.
Yu Tong began to get nervous.
Sitting behind Lily is the young villain Chen Xi.
There were too many people around and there were rules to follow, so Yu Tong couldn't speak.
He could only flap his wings back and forth at Chen Xi's fingertips, trying to tell him not to answer the priest's questions.
After Lily's punishment was over, Chen Xi stood up.
The priest's voice rang out again in the silent classroom.
"What's your name?"
Chapter 43 The Second World (6)
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Xi lay on the ground, found a position suitable for being beaten, and silently covered his head.
The room suddenly fell into deathly silence.
The priest's expression twisted, and it took him a long time to regain his composure. "What's your name?"
Chen Xi said nothing, and adjusted his lying position to avoid pressing on his little yellow chicken.
This kind of situation had probably never happened before. It was three minutes later that the nun, at the instruction of the priest, came over and beat Chen Xi up.
In the orphanage, being beaten is a common occurrence for every child.
Chen Xi gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
When the nun's foot kicked his hip again, cold sweat slid down the boy's pale forehead.
Lying on the cold bed, Chen Xi's mind inexplicably emerged the scene of the chicken protecting him with its wings last night.
If he could hide in the chicken's wings now, would he not be beaten?
If the chicken could really take him out of the orphanage, would he have a chance to save his father?
The system is a kind-hearted ball and can't bear to see the child being beaten like this.
It wants to find a way to see if it can buy a pain blocker that can be used for the mission target.
