Sir! Don't close the net!

Whether or not it is true, that's what humanity has come to believe.

Similarly, why do humans have a natural affinity for orcas, which are known as the "fat tigers of the sea" and who, when bored, will smack a passing sea turtle in the mouth?

There are no records of wild orcas preying on humans; all the records are of orcas and humans interacting amicably, overcoming language and other barriers between two completely different species. Orcas will not harm humans. Even if there are incidents of wild orcas injuring people, it must be because the human got too close to the orca and was accidentally hit, given the size and weight of the orca.

If a wild tiger jumps out to scare people without malice, just as a prank, humans will most likely respond with malice, because tigers are man-eaters, and this lesson is ingrained in human genes.

If a wild orca jumps out and scares people, or even sprays water in a human's face, the human will just laugh and interact with it.

Of course, there may also be a visual issue. Humans can understand the threatening actions of tigers, while the plump body of orcas makes humans not feel threatened until they are bruised and battered by them.

The premise for humans to feel goodwill and security towards animals suspected of cannibalism is rational control.

Without rational control, cruel nature will impose the most primitive form of cannibalism, making creatures more likely to decide to eat each other.

Theresa Prison allowed its inmates to receive the most primitive form of education.

The prison doors were not locked, and while freedom was granted, sufficient food was not provided. Although there was a certain degree of environmental protection, the influence and abuse of the strong on the weak could not be completely avoided.

"Gurgle—"

Rebecca couldn't help but open her mouth, and glistening saliva flowed down her sharp teeth.

The reason was simple: Li Yili had placed a roast chicken outside the cage. The spices perfectly brought out the deliciousness of the chicken, and the aroma lingering around her nose constantly stimulated her taste buds.

She didn't understand what Li Yili meant, but she knew she was hungry.

Chris Dorf instinctively tilted his head back, and a terrifying growl completely shattered the image of the pitiful girl; inside the iron cage was only a ferocious, man-eating beast.

“Miss Rebecca, you seem hungry, which is normal. Your body is very resilient, so you need to consume a lot of energy. Although it was all meaningless, you must have used up a lot of energy just now. If you don’t replenish it in time, tsk tsk tsk—you probably won’t feel well.” Li Yili clicked her tongue twice and deliberately circled the roast chicken by the campfire.

The glistening oil dripped down the roast chicken and landed in the campfire, making a crackling sound.

"What, what do you want to do—" Rebecca swallowed hard.

“No rush, wait a bit longer,” Li Yili whistled as she leisurely spread the sauce the jailer had brought onto the roast chicken. After examining the chicken’s sheen from all sides, she nodded and handed the chicken to Chris Dougher.

“Mr. Chris Dougher, this is yours.”

Chris Dorf was taken aback. After realizing what was happening, he rubbed his hands vigorously on his clothes before taking the roast chicken. He glanced subconsciously at Rebecca in the iron cage, hesitated for a moment, then tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Li Yili under Rebecca's incredulous gaze.

"Give-

—”

"Huh? Oh, thank you," Li Yili blinked, took the chicken leg, waved it at Rebecca in the iron cage, and then took a bite of the chicken leg.

"Aaaaaahh ...

After a full hour of fussing, Rebecca finally calmed down, but because she had been making a rumbling noise for an hour, her stomach was rumbling as if a wild beast was roaring inside.

Li Yili let out a burp, picked up a chicken bone from the ground, and waved it at Rebecca.

Rebecca's eyes, already glowing green, were fixed on the chicken bone in Li Yili's right hand.

Li Yili had no doubt that as long as he threw the chicken bone in, Rebecca would happily eat it.

"Miss Rebecca, would you like some?" Li Yili picked up a marinated chicken from the bucket at her feet and waved it at Rebecca. "If you'd like, I can roast one for you right now."

"You think I'd bow down to you over a roast chicken?!"

Rebecca sneered, but the tail behind her swayed from side to side.

"Lower your head, haha—that's really interesting. Even if you agree, I don't believe a roast chicken can make you lower your head."

Li Yili smiled and tossed a piece of meat that looked like thick phlegm in front of Rebecca.

"What do you want to do—" Rebecca couldn't help but open her mouth.

“This is meat I picked up from the garbage dump. I don’t know which prisoner’s body it was from,” Li Yili shrugged, turned around and hung the marinated chicken on the campfire, no longer looking at Rebecca.

"As long as you don't swallow that piece of meat before this chicken is roasted, this roast chicken is yours."

"Huh? I'd rather starve to death than eat such disgusting meat!" Rebecca sneered. "If you're so tough, let go of my hand and I'll throw this piece of meat right in your face."

"After all... education is not brainwashing; it must be done step by step."

Chapter Twenty-Five: Prisoners Should Look Like Prisoners

"Time's up, let's eat."

Li Yili raised her hand and flicked the golden roast chicken, which flew through the space between the iron cages in a perfect parabola before being swallowed by a gaping maw.

The terrifying chewing sound made Chris Dougher facepalm.

Rebecca quickly devoured the entire roast chicken, leaving not even a bone fragment.

However, judging from Rebecca's still-satisfied expression, one chicken was clearly not enough to fill her stomach.

Li Yili nodded in satisfaction, resting her chin on her hand.

Wild beasts don't wait. An ordinary hungry wolf might have already eaten that piece of meat. After all, that piece of meat... was just ugly. But Rebecca, being human, clearly understood that as long as she resisted eating that ridiculously ugly piece of meat, she could enjoy the delicious roast chicken.

Although I really want to educate them further, the chances of them being exposed are high, and the education period may be prolonged.

After thinking for a while, Li Yili put down her hand and gave Rebecca, who was licking her lips, a bright smile.

"Miss Rebecca, how did that roast chicken taste?"

"You don't actually think you can bribe me with a roast chicken, do you?" Rebecca immediately realized what she meant and sneered, "Damn it!"

Li Yili tilted her head slightly.

Rebecca's tail wagged very happily; clearly, the roast chicken had impressed her.

Noticing Li Yili's gaze, Rebecca blushed and twisted her hips to avoid Li Yili's gaze while yelling at her, "What are you looking at!"

“Miss Rebecca, you are a smart person. There’s no need for us smart people to waste each other’s time communicating in such a roundabout way,” Li Yili said, stretching out her legs and interlacing her fingers. “There’s no such kind and considerate thing as Teresa Prison that provides ingredients for prisoners like you. And you don’t look like someone who can cook.”

"Gulp—so what!" Rebecca gulped resentfully and raised her head.

“Not so great. At least I’ll keep you locked in this cage for more than a week,” Li Yili said, glancing upwards before smiling at Rebecca.

"A week? A week! You must be kidding me!"

Rebecca was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily, twisting her limbs with all her might, and the entire iron cage rattled under Rebecca's monstrous strength.

"Ha... Hey—how do you usually manage the prisoners?" Li Yili sighed helplessly and turned to shout at the prison guards not far away, "These prisoners have absolutely no sense of being prisoners—"

The two jailers scratched their faces awkwardly, unsure how to respond.

"Forget it—" Li Yili pinched the bridge of her nose, stood up, put her hands behind her back, paced back and forth in front of the iron cage twice, then twisted her waist and stretched her hands to the sides. "Anyway, you're already locked in this cage, do you think your opinion matters?"

"you--"

“Miss Rebecca, this is my friendly suggestion to you,” Li Yili leaned down and held up her right index finger, “If you behave well… you will get a full half hour of free time, of course, I will be holding the leash, isn’t that great?”

"Happy my foot!" Rebecca yelled angrily at Li Yili.

Normally, she can wander around outside the cell as long as she wants. Half an hour of free time? And she has to be tied up with ropes?

Pooh--

Li Yili bent her raised finger downwards.

"Xiao Lei, you seem to..."

"I understand the current situation, but I don't blame you. It's all due to poor personnel management here," Li Yili shook her head helplessly, raised her hand to rest on the iron cage, and straightened up, her eyes gradually sharpening. "Don't worry..."

Rebecca felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively looked away, unable to meet Li Yili's gaze.

"You'll be more self-aware in the future."

Both corn and carrots are essential.

After saying that, Li Yili turned around and prepared to leave.

Rebecca was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted at Li Yili's retreating figure, "Hey! You just left me here!"

“I really want to take you around, but you look like you’re going to bite me to death, and it’s not easy to catch you in jail, so you’ll just stay in this cage for now until you’re more sensible.”

Li Yili paused, turned her head, and waved her little finger at Rebecca.

"Everything is negotiable."

"Wait! You can't just leave it here! The toilet..." Rebecca gritted her teeth, "What about the toilet?!"

Li Yili was stunned, gasped, turned around and quickly walked to the front of the iron cage, chin in hand and serious expression.

"You...you've stumped me. If I told you to just settle it on the spot..."

"I'll suffocate myself! I'm not kidding!" Rebecca's face flushed red. "No! I'll bite my tongue and kill myself!"

“Ah… ordinary wolves don’t have so many troubles, because they’re werewolves, right?” Li Yili raised her hand and scratched the back of her head. “To be honest, I’m not confident I can put you back in this cage, but I value you quite a bit. I would be very distressed if you died.”

Feeling that this was no longer a topic for him to hear, Chris Dorf took his hoe and returned to the cabin early.

“Now I have a plan,” Li Yili said, squatting down while holding onto the cage, her expression extremely serious.

Because it concerned her last shred of dignity, Rebecca also became serious.

"Do you mind... using the toilet in the water?" Li Yili asked in a low voice.

Rebecca was taken aback at first, but quickly reacted. Her pupils widened in shock as she saw the glittering Path of Teresa reflected in Li Yili's dark eyes.

"You, you, you're not, you're not joking, are you?" Rebecca stammered.

This is no longer a matter of dignity.

“I’m not kidding, don’t worry, there won’t be any problems. This is upstream, and there are no cities around Theresa Prison,” Li Yili gave a thumbs up. “Of course, if you’re willing to let me do a bunch of things to control your hands and feet, you can go back to your cell to use the toilet.”

Rebecca's eyes flickered.

First of all, biting her tongue is a lie. With her constitution, even if she bit her tongue, she wouldn't die; it would just give her an unforgettable memory. As for suffocating herself... that's definitely just talk. When she really can't hold it in anymore, she'll definitely...

No, I don't want this... It leaked.

She was faced with two choices: either be pushed onto Teresa's Path while still locked in this cage, and then be pulled back up afterward, or go back to her cell to use the toilet, but Li Yili would do a lot of things to her. Considering that Li Yili kept emphasizing that she dared not let her out, those things would most likely make her completely lose her control.

After hesitating for a long time, Rebecca opened her mouth, turned her eyes away, and spoke so softly that only a mosquito could hear her.

"Wh-when can I go to the toilet?"

Chapter Twenty-Six: Miss Rebecca, you don't want to suffocate, do you?

In the end, Li Yili decided to let Rebecca go to the toilet around 11 p.m.

Although she was a million times unwilling, Rebecca still agreed. She certainly couldn't go to Theresa's Road to solve the problem in broad daylight. After what happened last night, most of the prisoners in Theresa's Prison would probably turn over a new leaf and become good kids who go to bed at ten o'clock.
