The guy in the lower bunk said his grandfather was an old hunter. Before he was taken to the orphanage, he often followed his grandfather to hunt foxes and rabbits in the forest. He told me that if we just ran upstream along the stream in the forest, we would be able to get back to town.
He had originally planned to run out, but it was too late and dark that day. He was worried he might encounter a monster, so he decided to try again another day.
Yu Tong wrote down the route map in the diary and continued to read.
[Year, month, and day (I don’t know the exact day, I just know it’s passed. Why is there no date on the pocket watches given by the orphanage?)]
The guy in the lower bunk wanted to run away, and I knew why. He had a childhood sweetheart, a shepherdess, who was still living outside the orphanage. He was always worried that the people in the town would capture his shepherdess and put her in the orphanage, so he wanted to run away with her.
What a touching love story! He was only ten, the same age as me, and yet he already had a girl he wanted to protect. We were best friends, and he told me about his plan and invited me to run away with him. I refused to go, and I asked him not to go, too, but he wouldn't listen.
There was a fourteen-year-old girl in our dorm who told us not to try to escape. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get out. There were people watching us inside and outside the town. If we were caught, they'd chop off our legs and make them into ornaments to please us.
The system was stunned and asked what Bala Bala was. Was it Balala the Fairies?
Yu Tong couldn't understand what it was saying.
The illegitimate child who was locked up in an orphanage was a child who loved art. He hand-drew illustrations under each diary entry.
Ugly, but thoughtful.
On this page of his diary, he drew a stick figure of a woman herding sheep.
Turning the pages further, the contents of the diary became much sadder.
The illegitimate child's lower bunk successfully ran away from the orphanage, but when he found the shepherdess's home, he discovered that the shepherdess and her family had already died.
The native residents of the town either died or fled, and the only ones left were outsiders.
Before the lower bunk student had the chance to escape from the town, he was caught by several outsiders and sent back to the orphanage.
The nun picked up the boy's lower bunk like a chicken and broke his legs in front of all the children in the dormitory.
The lower bunk was bleeding profusely, and the illegitimate son and several roommates tried to save him, but the bleeding from the wound would not stop.
After the lights were turned off that night, the monster that followed the smell of blood came in and ate the lower bunk as a midnight snack.
The illegitimate child must have been terrified when he wrote this down. Tear marks covered the paper, and the neat and beautiful handwriting became distorted.
At the end of this diary page, it was written, "I don't know when these days will end. I heard that if I can establish a relationship with a nun and win a place in a pet beauty pageant, I'll have a chance to be adopted by a noble lord."
I don't mind being a nun's pet, nor do I mind being a man's male favorite. Perhaps it's because I'm the young master of a large family, and the nuns all like me. Sister Ai may be fierce, but she's the leader of the nuns. When I follow her, no one dares to bully me.
After that, the entries in the diary became shorter and shorter, often only containing one or two sentences. Perhaps after becoming a pet, the boy had less free time.
[Sister Ai likes me very much and always gives me little cakes.]
[Her beating hurt me so much, but I got candy.]
Sister Love doesn't like to have too many pets; she only wants one. She always calls me over, so I think she likes me.
[I think I am the most beautiful, and I will be Sister Love's only pet.]
One day, the diary stopped abruptly.
The boy died that day.
Judging from the dust on the bed, the boy did not have the accident this morning and he should have died a long time ago.
For some reason, the nun did not take his belongings.
Putting the diary back in its place, Yu Tong thought for a moment, took out the small notebook containing portraits of beautiful women, and scanned it back and forth across the boy's bed.
The system asked him what he was doing.
Yu Tong explained as he swept the things, "Just now when Brother Xiaochen was looking through the remains, didn't Lily say that they would come back and that we had to wait until they were completely dead before looking through them?"
【hold head high. 】
"I was using this notebook to scan the dorm room, and when I came across Lily's teddy bear, a picture of a skinny woman appeared in the notebook. That's it, you saw it."
"So the beautiful women featured in this book shouldn't just be living people, but also pretty ghosts. The possibility that the dead can return to the dormitory is that they've been resurrected, their bodies have been made into puppets, they've become zombies, or they've become ghosts."
The system clapped its hands, [Yes!]
"But I don't know if this illegitimate child is considered a beauty. Even if she can't be included in the book, we can't rule out the possibility of a ghost..."
Yu Tong's voice suddenly stopped.
At the same time, a thin figure slowly emerged on the notebook in his hand.
The boy has bright short golden hair, delicate features and fair skin, like a little prince who walked out of a fairy tale book.
His eyes were closed as if he was sleeping, and there were several wounds of varying depths on his thin chest.
Yu Tong looked at the empty foot of the bed, then at the illustration on the notebook.
He thought for a moment and then said, "He was stabbed to death by a child with a dagger."
The system thought for a moment, "Has he also taken a stupid class similar to the one this morning?"
"No, the wounds of children who died in class were all of similar depth, and there wouldn't be these messy scratches. Because there were nuns assisting in the classroom, the children who were used as teaching tools had no chance to struggle."
"This child was secretly killed by other children."
————
Only after Lily and Xiao Meiqiu left the dormitory did Yu Tong run out from the corner.
He looked at Chen Xi who was packing her schoolbag and couldn't help but ask hesitantly: "Why do you think Lily is still alive?"
