Click!

The bedroom door pushes open.

The middle-aged woman with a golden wavy head stood in the doorway, motionless, with a smile on her face that a 'mother' should have.

With the smile unchanged and the lips not moving, a gentle voice came from the depths of his throat:

"William, have you seen Sherry?"

"No, oh Mom! I went upstairs to read a book after breakfast, isn't it downstairs? ”

Yi Chen sat upright at the desk, with his back to the door, flipping through the book with one hand and the other ready to touch the hand axe under the table.

The mother didn't ask about Xuerui, but changed the subject, "Do you know why the mailbox in front of our house was opened?" ”

"Huh? Has someone opened our mailbox? ”

"It seems that you don't seem to know about this, don't worry, Mom will look into it...... Once he finds out who did this kind of thing, he will definitely get the punishment he deserves.

Now it's time to come down and eat, tonight there is your favorite red stewed beef. ”

"Okay, Mom."

After making sure that 'Mother' was leaving, Yi Chen got up and straightened his clothes, and put his axe and firearm in the right place.

When I walked briskly to the first floor,

The neat dining table has been set up with cutlery for three people, and the middle-aged couple has already taken their seats.

Looking at the brand-new stove that had never been used at all, I wondered how the so-called 'red stewed beef' in my mother's mouth would appear.

Takeaway? Or is it cooked quickly in an unknown place?

My father was holding the newspaper in one hand and the cup of coffee in the morning, also steaming.

The mother straightened up, her palms flat on her knees, smiling and staring ahead, completely motionless like a wooden figure.

Yi Chen was also smiling, like a good child listening to a class with his hands stacked on the table, sitting upright, completely blending into such a grotesque atmosphere, without any sense of disobedience.

Be quiet

I could only hear the pendulum swinging and the sound of my father flipping through the newspaper.

Buzz~

This state didn't last long, and Yi Chen unexpectedly heard a long-lost sound of flies. This kind of sound has rarely been heard since Yi Chen's crossing, and there is not a single fly in Zion City.

When the afterglow swept around, there was no trace of any flies,

It wasn't until I cast my eyes on my mother that I found that a green crystal fly was lying on its nostrils and spreading its wings at high speed, but it was entangled in nose hairs and couldn't get out.

If you look closely, there is even a second, a third......

When Yi Chen still wanted to look more closely,

Ding dong! The doorbell rang, and the mother quickly got up and ran to open the door.

There was a steaming metal cauldron at the door, apparently the 'red stewed beef' in my mother's mouth...... The person who delivered the food was a strong man dressed as a chef, and he was walking briskly back to the 'food delivery car' on the side of the road.

To be exact, it was a large truck carrying 'red stewed beef' from every household.

Drag the metal cauldron with one hand and easily place it on the tabletop.

Each person is served a fragrant red stewed beef, and the main part is the large piece of beef that is completely stewed and soft.

After some inspection, there was no problem with the food, and even the ingredients were very fresh, and it was indeed real beef and not the unsettling meat quality that was expected.

End of meal,

Just when Yi Chen wanted to get up, pop! His mother's palm fell instantly, pressing on his shoulder.

"It's not good to waste food, but you have to eat it all like your dad did."

Eyes on the father,

Holding the coffee in one hand and holding the plate in front of him with the other, the thick and fat tongue is carefully licking along the plate, and the plate that has been licked completely clean does not even need to be cleaned.

Yi Chen kept his head slightly, and turned his head a little stiffly to ask 'Mother', "Does it have to be like this?" ”

"That's right."

"What if I don't?"

"Then you have to be punished accordingly."

When the mother said this, her mouth opened as well.

Buzz! The dense sound of flies immediately came from inside.

The oral mucosa is covered with holes in which dense swarms of flies are inhabiting.

The beef stewed beef that has just been eaten still has several lumps stuck to the mouth for the flies to eat...... A closer look will also reveal that these flies are a little different, they have sharp teeth and can easily crush meat.

This image once again stirred up deep memories.

The orphanage's [three meals a day] is not so easy to eat,

Sometimes it's just eating normally in the cafeteria,

Sometimes it is necessary to fight for food in a room full of rats,

Sometimes there is a special event in the cafeteria that provides random food for everyone.

Once encountering certain foods that are difficult to swallow, there are always some students who cannot eat, and even cause vomiting and stain the canteen.

These actions will be considered 'food waste'.

Once it appears more than three times, it will be sent to a special area and will never be able to return.

Yi Chen was able to swallow the food every time, because he knew the fundamental purpose of the orphanage. Although everyone who is taken in here is treated cruelly, the orphanage does not directly make food that is harmful to the body.

As long as you think about this clearly and hold on to the idea of living, you can swallow it no matter what.

But during a canteen riot, Yi Chen accidentally knocked over his plate and was regarded as a waste of food, and got a chance opportunity to visit.

He was taken to an underground passage that specialized in 'filth'.

The orphans who had disappeared due to food problems were all concentrated here, and due to special drug injections and the effects of the environment, they had combined with flies to evolve some of the limbs, and some of them had completely degenerated into 'saprophytes'.

……

As for Yi Chen's father, it also corresponds to a kind of orphanage punishment mechanism.

Orphans who have repeatedly wasted water will be asked to serve a full glass of water and then live a normal day to participate in various activities, after which the amount of water in their cups will be checked.

As much as you spill out, you need to forcibly feed the same amount of concentrated acid.

If the water in the cup is gone, it will be taken to a special area and will no longer be able to appear in the orphanage.

Call......

Yi Chen took a deep breath and suppressed the negative thoughts that kept pouring out. It's just the beginning, and there's no need to fully release the nature in your body.

"I'm sorry, Mom! I'll eat it right away. ”

Yi Chen immediately changed his face, turned into a good child, and made a look of being ready to lick.

The mother's eyes widened, staring at the process.

At the moment when Yi Chen lifted the plate and was about to take his mouth.

The wrist exerts force instantly, and there is even a crisp sound at the joints...... Click! The plate flew towards the middle-aged woman at high speed, completely obscuring her face.

While throwing the plate,

Yi Chen supported the seat with one hand, and the core of his waist contracted and exerted force! Give a kick directly, and the table is kicked up directly.

The 'hot coffee' in his father's hand was poured on his own face.

Hiss~ The strong acid directly burned through his father's face, revealing a terrifying white bone structure, and before he could react...... A silver flash flashed.

Syllable! His head, which was being corroded by strong acid, landed on the plate he had licked clean.

At the same time,

The thrown plate slammed into the mother's face...... Poop!

As the metal plate slid down, the woman's vision was no longer obstructed, and the muzzle of the black hole was hovering in front of her eyes.

"Good night, Mommy!"

"Ahh

When the mother opened her mouth as wide as she could, screaming and trying to exhale the carnivorous flies in it.

Bang！

Dirty, hole-filled debris splattered all over the kitchen stove behind it.

The headless bodies of the middle-aged couple leaned forward almost at the same time, slumping heavily on the table.

Yi Chen still kept smiling,

The shotgun spun in the palm of his hand and then inserted it back into his waist,

After wiping the blood stains on the surface of the axe blade with a tablecloth, Yi Chen got up and tidied up his clothes, muttering softly:

"The so-called [orphanage qualification] has to become the so-called 'orphan' first, right? That's it, right...... It's a pity that my memory doesn't have any information about my parents, and there is no sense of substitution at all in this opening.

For as long as I can remember, I've been in an orphanage. ”
