When the two children finished their work, the room fell into silence.
The class is one hour long and dinner is at 7pm.
The rules state that children can move freely within the orphanage when there are no specific scheduled times. The nun didn't specify the limits of where they can move, only that they cannot enter any doors.
So as long as they can hold on until 6 o'clock sharp, they can leave the dormitory alive.
Even if the dormitory door is not open at that time, they can still get an hour of rest time.
Yu Tong was not very panicked. He even had some free time to ask Chen Xi to help him find the diary that Lily had hidden under the mattress.
The system rubbed its matchstick hands nervously, "I envy you, Xiaoyu! I also want to be as calm and composed as you are in times of crisis."
Yu Tong flipped through his diary and said absentmindedly: "It's okay. I've collected a lot of props and am well prepared. I should be able to last an hour."
"Xiao Yuyu, I'm wondering something. Since the bolt is on the outside, why does Lily's bear say the person who closed the door is among these children?"
"Humans cannot do this, so the children behind the door are not human beings, but demons hidden among us, little briquettes of coal."
【……ah? 】
"On the first day we arrived here, we found a note inside our teddy bear. It said, 'The devil is hiding in the body of the child in bed number 3. This is our secret. Lily is the bravest child. Only you can save the world, Warrior Bear.'"
"Lily and her bear knew who the devil was, but they didn't have enough time to deal with him. The little warrior bear is alive. He knows that I have read the note and knows that I know who the devil is."
[But it’s not like the villain hasn’t seen paper before…]
'His Chicken Warriors can tell him.'
Ah, that's right.
By observing Chen Xi's reaction, Yu Tong felt that he had only realized that the child who locked the door was not a human, and did not realize that the little coal ball was a devil.
After the Bear Warriors assigned the teams, he knew everything.
Lily used to often point to a child and say that the child had a demon inside of him. Not long after, the child she named would die tragically.
The Bear Warrior chose to let Lily and Little Coal Ball team up, simply because he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of this demon.
The system thought it made sense. [How did Little Coal Ball close the door and get back in?]
He left the dormitory building before Lily, and after leaving, he transformed into a monster and closed the door. He then slipped back into the building through a hole behind a flowerpot next to the door, and transformed back into a human to greet Lily as she was about to leave.
Last night, Sister Love was checking the dormitories and found a note hidden in the stomach of Little Bear Warrior. She knew the demon was Little Coal Ball in bed number three, and her knowledge was enough for the other nuns to know. After the dormitory door was locked, Little Coal Ball kept pretending to shout inside. Upon hearing his voice, the nuns immediately realized it was the demon's plan, so no one came to open the door.
【Wow--】
"There's also the most direct evidence. During this morning's practical class, Lily was protected by the Little Bear Warrior, so the nuns and priests didn't dare to do anything to her. Chen Xi, Little Mushroom, and the other surviving children all gritted their teeth and completed the practical task."
"Only Little Coal Ball did nothing. When the children rebelled, he fainted from fear and didn't wake up until the end of the class. What kind of background does he have to be so strong that he dared to skip class under the priest's nose?"
The system is silent.
It found that Yu Tong knew everything but didn't tell it anything in advance, which was very unbrotherly.
Thinking of the opened express box, the system became a little nervous.
The boss had sent it medicine, asking it to secretly feed it to Yu Tong. He said it was good medicine that would benefit Yu Tong, but he couldn't let him know.
What contradictory statements.
The system never found an opportunity to feed it, it always felt that Yu Tong was guarding against it.

Unlike what Yu Tong expected, the notebook that Lily hid under the mattress was neither a diary nor a fairy tale book, and the content on it was very strange.
[So many clouds, so cloudy that the sun is not visible, the god of the marshland.]
The Marsh God loves wet ground, especially bathrooms, washrooms, and any place with water. To make it easier for him to care for his followers, he only stays in the same building with them. We should avoid his followers.
[It’s a dark sky, a very dark sky without any light, big meow.]
Big Meow always appears in dark, small, and crowded places. He hates light and only stays in pitch-black places. We should ignore him.
[When the temperature drops below 0 degrees, the temperature will drop sharply and the room will become extremely cold.]
The three Bingbingliang brothers have no followers. They can go anywhere. They are powerful, but they are picky eaters. We cannot make a sound, and we cannot shed blood.
What makes Yu Tong feel relieved is that Lily, like the illegitimate child who died next door, is also a child who loves art.
In addition to the text, she also carefully drew illustrations at the bottom of each piece of paper.
The picture of the Marsh God is a big eye with curly eyelashes.
Big Meow is a messy mass of black lines.
The picture of the three Bingbingliang brothers is a simple little man with three heads and hands all over his body.
The more Yu Tong looked, the more surprised he became. He raised his little chicken claws and poked Chen Xi's ankles wildly.
Chen Xi glanced down and immediately connected his train of thought with Xiao Ji.
The monster that was attracted by the smell of blood last night and wanted to twist off his head was Bing...
Chen Xi was speechless for a moment. What a strange name.
I guess Lily and Bear Warrior didn't know what it was called, so they just picked one at random.
Why are they all monsters, but only the Swamp God has a name?
Is it because the Marsh God has believers, but the other two monsters don’t?
Chen Xi stroked the paper lightly with his fingertips, his eyes swept over the little yellow chicken at hand, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.
If he gave the chick a decent name and became a believer of the chick, would the chick always protect him in the future?
