Lily is young and her ideas are still simple.
When the little bear warrior asked her to kill someone, she would stab him with a knife. When asked to take risks and act alone, she would leave her friends and sneak out.
Lily trusts the little bear warrior very much and takes the teddy bear's words as the truth.
She was the most devout believer in women in this world. From then on, the monster had a special name, the Little Bear Warrior, just like the swamp god.
The system pondered for a moment with a silly expression, then clapped its hands excitedly. "Ah, I get it. No wonder the nuns and priests didn't dare touch Lily. They were afraid of the little bear warrior's revenge."
"Yes, but it's not just fear of retaliation. This touches upon the fundamental purpose of the orphanage's establishment: they want to raise Gu and cultivate the most powerful gods belonging to mankind."
The orphanage has nuns, priests, theology classes, and pictures of the Virgin Mary and the Goddess.
With so many important elements gathered together, the country where Chen Xi is located must have gods and a related religious system.
This can also be found in the original novel.
Before his family was destroyed by the villain, the male protagonist Ye Yong often followed his parents to the nearby church to pray.
Considering that Chen Xi was clearly not a believer, just now in the utility room, he was still extremely frightened and recited a prayer while holding the chicken.
This fully demonstrates that there is a goddess in this country who has many believers, a wide range of influence, and is well-known to the public.
For various reasons, they ultimately chose children to become victims of war.
Compared to adults, children are more fragile and more easily frightened.
They often experience panic and despair, but their little minds don't think as much as adults. When effectively comforted, they calm down more quickly. Their chances of committing suicide or going insane are lower than those of adults.
In addition, children are young, have little experience, and their physical fitness is far inferior to that of adults.
If the people attending the morning class are a group of adults, who have lived in this environment for a long time, should have figured out some of the rules and would not be frightened to the point of screaming and crying collectively.
The three men who had been locked in the dormitory that afternoon would have climbed out of the window and would not have been left hiding in the dormitory.
Children are a vulnerable group both mentally and physically.
No matter how smart the child is, he is destined to not be able to escape from this extremely harsh environment with his short arms and legs, and can only wait for external help.
Most importantly, the child has no faith.
Even if the people around them believe in the goddess, they can only imitate the adults' prayers and have not yet truly understood the meaning of faith.
For example, Chen Xi doesn't believe in goddesses. He just knows that when people are afraid, using this blessing phrase can make them luckier.
His idea is very simple: whoever protects him is a good person.
Even if the one protecting him is just a chick, that chick can become his god.
A group of desperate children are trapped in an orphanage. Monsters attracted by their cries will choose their believers in various ways.
Unfortunately, the orphanage is filled with monsters, hidden surveillance systems, and human-controlled robots.
Outside the orphanage is a small town that has long been occupied by outsiders. Outside the small town is the country that secretly supports and funds the orphanage.
Even if the child had his own god, he would not be able to break through so many blockades and escape the country.
He will stay in the orphanage until he and his god kill all the monsters here, and then he will be released.
In the end, the god became a killing machine for the empire's conquests, and its children became the handle for the empire to manipulate it.
The nobles sent their unfavored children to orphanages, hoping that they would gain the favor of the gods and bring honor to their families.
Ordinary people knew nothing about this. Their families were either torn apart or their children were kidnapped. Losing children in war is a very common thing.
If the children who are captured stay for too long and grow too old, they will understand more and will no longer be as easy to control as before.
In addition, the impression of monsters is so deep-rooted that it is difficult for people to have any illusions about man-eating monsters and become believers.
Therefore, most children who are over ten years old and have not died will be sold or returned to their families.
Chen Xi's family is gone, and since he is handsome and a former noble young master, he will be bought back by the noble master as a plaything on the day of God's descent.
No one wanted the little mushrooms, so they were given as buy-one-get-one-free gifts.
This is also why girls don’t have to worry about attracting the three Bingbingliang brothers during their menstrual period.
They were sold before their first period came.

The system looked confused, obviously not understanding much.
Yu Tong gave a brief summary of it.
Locking up children is to attract monsters.
There is a certain chance that the monster summoned will fall in love with the child, and the relationship will change from predator and food to god and believer.
In order to protect their believers and help them escape, the gods will fight other monsters. In the endless battles, they will become more tacit and stronger.
After defeating all competitors, the god with believers will become the most powerful and controllable war machine.
When the war with the orcs broke out again, he won a victory for the human empire.
The system blinked, "I understand, but not completely. This topic is too heavy, I don't want to dwell on it. Xiao Yuyu, how do you know all this?"
"When I explained it just now, I mentioned my basis. Compared to the previous world, this world actually has quite a lot of clues."
[Oh...Okay, Xiao Yu, what are you going to do next? ]
Yu Tong pondered for a moment, "In the eyes of the nuns, the talking little yellow chicken is also a monster, which is a good thing. As long as Chen Xi becomes my believer, he will receive the same special treatment as Lily. He will no longer be beaten by nuns and priests, and he will not be sold to the gods on the day of his death."
[Then you wait until he's plump and strong enough to run away, then secretly take him away?]
