Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

The dark shadow spread across the sky, like a firework made of thick smoke, blooming towards the dark mountains and forests.

Everything around her was shaking, and Chu Yu couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or reality, but Ran Yin looked at her calmly.

That look was serious.

She can't.

Even though my heart resisted countless times, my body took decisive action.

The pitch-black sickle drew a half silver arc, then turned sharply down and instantly pierced Ran Yin's chest.

The subtle sound of cloth tearing mixed with the sound of bones breaking. Warm blood dyed the blade of the sickle red, dripping down the handle to the ground, and dripping into the boiling shadow that was gradually calming down.

Ran Yin raised the corner of his bloodstained mouth and showed a gentle expression again.

"well done……"

"Why?" Chu Yu looked at him blankly, the cold shadow of the sickle still reflected in the corner of her pupils, and her hands began to tremble.

But she soon discovered that it was actually the sickle that was shaking.

It greedily sucked the blood, dyeing every line on the blade red. It seemed as if it had absorbed new nutrients and was growing faster.

The pitch-black giant tree behind him was withering at an accelerated rate. As the power of the shadow continued to drain away, its twisted and spreading branches began to fall off, shrink, and wither, turning into black snow-like powder and melting into the earth.

Finally, the entire giant tree collapsed like an avalanche and turned into debris on the ground.

"Ha ha……"

Ran Yin also saw the growth of the weapon. He slowly collapsed to the ground, watching the blade separate from his body.

"Do I deserve this...feeling of despair?"

Chu Yu knelt on the ground, covering Ran Yin's wound in panic. The sickle was thrown aside by her, but it was still sucking blood from the soil.

Growing.

"Why are you doing this? I, I don't understand..."

"To make you stronger... it's simple, right?"

The boiling shadows sensed the crisis of their bodies and wanted to fill and repair their wounds, but under Ran Yin's control, those protective shadows were forcibly suppressed, and blood continued to flow out of the wounds.

"Why me? Why you... Mr. Dean! Please, I don't want to see you die...!"

Chu Yu could clearly feel that the dean's life was slowly slipping away. She could only try her best to cover the crack and pray that the death process would be slower.

Ran Yin pushed her hand away from the wound, he gently covered the bloody hand and shook his head: "Do you remember... my answer?"

Chu Yu's tears suddenly fell out.

"Remember……"

Why give her the Lock of Life?

At that time, it was Chu Yu's turn to ask the question, and Ran Yin quickly answered her.

"Because you are my favorite child"

His answer was so casual, as light as a gust of wind, just like his casual affirmation of his love for them, that no one dared to believe it.

Chu Yu couldn't believe it either. She didn't believe that the dean loved them, and she didn't believe that she would be the most special one.

But now, every word of this answer was so heavy that it seemed to burn her soul.

"Because you are my favorite child." Ran Yin looked at her, with a smile on his tired and pale face.

"I do not believe……"

But her tears betrayed her.

The death sickle grew faster, the soil became dry due to its sucking, and the sickle glowed with a dark red light that could not be ignored in the dark night.

"It seems that this is enough..." Ran Yin took one last look at the sickle, and he spread out his other hand, "I have one last favor to ask of you... Ayu."

"What...?" Chu Yu stared blankly at the thing in his palm. It was none other than the chain of life.

At this time, as Ran Yin gradually became weaker, the flashing of the life lock became slower and slower.

"Crush it..." Ran Yin smiled, as if begging, "Don't let my remaining soul be trapped here forever."

"I can not do it……"

The dean always says things that are unacceptable. He has let Chu Yu kill him once, and now he wants to kill him a second time.

Suddenly, a loud 'boom' sound was heard in the distance.

"!!" Chu Yu turned around suddenly.

It was like a taut string finally broke, the mountain seemed like a giant beast awakening, huge rocks collapsed from great heights, carrying trees, soil and rubble, forming an unstoppable torrent, and the mountain began to collapse!

The earth trembled, and this time it was not an illusion.

Ran Yin's voice came again, he described the facts calmly and clearly: "It seems... you failed to stop me."

The first second of hesitation finally allowed him to successfully awaken the cocoon buried in the mountains.

Then, the collapsed soil crushed rows of houses. The walls were as fragile as thin paper, and twisted beams were looming in the rising dust.

Her friends are still in there!

Thinking of this, Chu Yu instantly disappeared into the shadows.

But a moment later, she reappeared in front of Ran Yin and picked up the faintly flickering life lock.

"Go quickly..." Ran Yin looked at her deeply.

Without saying goodbye or responding, Chu Yu once again dived into the shadows of the ground.

While shuttling back and forth at high speed, between rapid breaths, she crushed the chain of life.

……

……

Evie couldn't sleep. She was so anxious that she couldn't sleep at all.

Chu Yu was in charge of the night watch. This suggestion was made by her, but Ivy had no idea what consequences this would cause.

She spent half of her time worrying whether Chu Yu would leave with Ran Yin and never come back; the remaining half of her time was spent thinking about other possibilities.

Feeling her anxiety, Ying woke up halfway through. Ivy shared her random thoughts with her, but was laughed at by Ying.

"Avi has such a vivid imagination."

Although Ran Yin was very cooperative in the question-and-answer game during the day, it still couldn't change his cold and aloof image.

Ivy was sulking. She felt that Ying had not personally experienced the events of the second round, so she had no idea how critical the current node was.

Finally, she became more and more unsure and simply called everyone together.

Having said that, it was not convenient for Ivy to say directly that he was "afraid that Chu Yu would rebel". This would always give people a preconceived sense of offense, so others did not know the reason.

For a moment, several people sat in a circle, with sleepy eyes, yawning from time to time, and staring at each other.

Tokieda Yume accepted the current situation as quickly as possible. She even pulled Yui Sho over, lit the candles, dealt the cards, and started playing a card game.

……

When Yuishu reminded them that the location of Ran Yin's magic power had changed, he was so defeated that half of his face was covered with a note.

……

When Yui Shu reminded them again that Chu Yu's magic position overlapped with Ran Yin, he was so defeated that his entire face was covered with notes.

Ivy's premonition came true. They finally finished their card game and speculated and waited for what would happen outside.

Finally, they encountered a landslide.
