"That monster is a slug magician. It can stuff a lot of things into its body and then make them come out like magic. It has a lot of slime on its body, which is salty and slippery like snot. It's not tasty at all. But it's very big and very filling."
Lily pointed at the teddy bear whose face was being split. "Warrior Bear's stomach split open after he ate the Slug Magician. The fur inside won't fly out, and he can stuff anything shorter than him into his stomach."
Her words were full of information. Yu Tong narrowed his eyes slowly and said, "Tell me in detail."
Lily's ability to express herself is not good enough and she doesn't know how to be detailed.
It is said that one day the nun suddenly told them that this was the last dinner, and for the next month everyone would have to find food for themselves.
The children often went hungry, but they all had some food in their hands. During the first week of the food shortage, although they didn't have enough to eat, they were not too hungry either.
After a week, the children who had eaten all their food began to steal food from others: the older children would steal from the younger ones, and the stronger children would steal from the thinner ones.
Once all the stored food was eaten, there would still be half a month left before the orphanage could be provided with meals.
The breeding area was guarded by nuns, and children were not allowed to enter. Children were no longer allowed to go out to exchange food for food at the market that opened every ten days.
The starving children searched every corner of the orphanage and ate all the insects and birds they could catch.
In order to survive, they began to eat weak children.
After the smaller and thinner children were eaten, several children formed a small group called the Brave Alliance. They would hunt down the stronger children and bring them back to their dormitories to share.
In the end, only Lily, the Brave Alliance, and other children protected by the gods survived.
Lily raised her head proudly after she finished speaking. "I didn't eat humans. I was eating monsters with the little bear warrior. The little bear warrior said that Lily is a kind and good girl."
Yu Tong was in a complicated mood.
I didn't expect the orphanage could be so cruel. Even his parents had never done such a thing.
After recovering from his shock, Chen Xi pondered, "Why did the orphanage suddenly stop feeding the children?"
"I have no idea."
"Did anything special happen in the orphanage before this incident?"
Lily shook her head.
Chen Xi was chewing on a biscuit while thinking. He always felt that he had figured out the key, but he couldn't figure out where the problem lay.
At this moment, a soft and gentle male voice came from above his head. Although it was a soft voice, the tone was exceptionally calm and steady.
"Lily, before the orphanage runs out of food, you have a few roommates left in your dorm."
Lily thought for a moment and said, "Including me, there are still three left."
“When you go to a classroom, how many children are there?”
"Well... a lot. The priest put all the children in one classroom."
Chen Xi and Yu Tong's faces darkened at the same time.
The classroom where they take practical classes in the morning can accommodate more than fifty people.
If the classroom Lily mentioned was the same size as the practical class, then there were less than sixty children left in the entire orphanage, or even fewer.
Yu Tong asked the last question.
"After your roommates died, the orphanage didn't assign you a new roommate. Only after the one-month food shortage period was over did new children move into the dormitory, correct?"
The moment Lily nodded, Yu Tong felt a surge of anxiety, which was transmitted through the telepathic props.
He stroked Chen Xi's smooth white hair, lowered his head and softly comforted her, "It's okay, the little warrior bear is very good at pretending. Let's stuff more food into his stomach before we go back, and he will definitely survive a month. Even if he can't, you can eat me."
Chen Xi took off the chicken on his head and stared at him straight in the eyes.
Yu Tong immediately changed his tone, "Even if we can't survive, we can still eat monsters."
Brother Xiaochen pursed his lips, his expression very serious, "I won't miss eating roasted chicken anymore, Sun God Chicken, you believe me."
I believe you.”
"You are the Sun God Chicken. I will never hurt you."
"I believe it, I believe it. Could you please stop calling me that? It's so embarrassing."
Chen Xi remained silent, with a stern face that looked a little unhappy.

The little bear warrior divided the woman's face into four parts, and sat with Lily, holding the human face and chewing it.
The bloody pieces of flesh disappeared little by little in front of the teddy bear. It seemed that they were eaten by the soul of the woman hidden in the plush doll.
Lily bit the person's face, leaving it covered in blood.
Yu Tong was a cat in the previous world. He had eaten all kinds of cat food, canned cat food, and various freeze-dried foods, so he didn't mind trying monster sashimi.
The delicate boy Xiao Chenxi really couldn't stand such a bloody midnight snack.
He built a pile of wood on the ground and tried to grill meat, but because he hadn't activated his cooking skill, the meat was half-cooked.
Chen Xi was covered in dirt and smoke, and a hole was burned in his exquisite suit.
He sat upright on a stone, lowered his eyes and ate the meat on the wooden stick seriously.
It was as if he was not eating monster meat in a cemetery, but savoring a fine steak in a luxuriously decorated restaurant.
This reminded Yu Tong that Chen Xi would rather be beaten to death by Sister Ai than be her pet.
In Chen Xi's heart, he was still a noble young master, the eldest son of the family. As the heir, he had to maintain the dignity of the family even in times of hardship.
Yu Tong tilted his head and stared at him for a while, and suddenly felt a little sad.
He wasn't sure if it was the emotion conveyed by the telepathic props, or if he was feeling sorry for Xiao Chenxi.
Yu Tong has never known what dignity is since he was a child. Neither he nor the people around him have it.
Little Brother Chen Qing, who was tied up in the yard, was the only one who felt he had dignity.
He told Yu Tong that if he had a chance to escape, he would kill everyone except Yu Tong when he came back, because these people had seen him at his most miserable side.
