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

Ivy woke up on the top floor of a tall tower, with gray fog outside.

“Where is this…?” She climbed up from the hard ground, feeling sore all over.

It seemed like she had some strange dreams, but she couldn't remember them.

"you're awake."

"?!"

A voice suddenly sounded, and Ivy jumped in fright.

When I looked over where the sound came from, I saw a man standing in the dark corner. He was wearing black clothes and a hood, and his face could not be seen.

When he stepped out of the shadows, Ivy found that he was very tall and had a dangerous and oppressive feeling.

But there doesn't seem to be any malice.

"Hello?" Ivy tried to communicate with the weirdo in front of her, but this was obviously not something she was good at. After racking her brains, she asked carefully, "What's your name?"

"Xiaoyi."

"Ok."

silence.

"Do you know where this is?" Ivy asked again.

"tower."

"Oh...then why am I here?"

"Wait for someone to save you."

"Then why are you here?"

"protect you."

"Oh."

silence.

Ivy rubbed his head, still feeling a little confused.

Just as I was thinking about what to ask next, strange noises suddenly gathered below.

Ivy ran to the edge of the terrace and leaned half of his body over the fence to look around, but his vision was filled with white fog and he couldn't see what was happening below.

Xiaoyi walked to the back of her and stopped.

“Has my rescuer arrived?” The noise continued, so Ivy had no choice but to ask the people around him.

Xiaoyi shook his head.

"The monster is coming."

"monster?"

Ivy tensed up, and the noisy noise was indeed approaching.

The monster is coming upstairs.

She searched for her weapon and held the dagger in her hand.

The noise became clearer and clearer, and the sound of "thump thump thump" soon approached the door. The next moment, there was a rapid knock on the door on the top floor.

Immediately afterwards, the door was forced open and the people outside rushed in.

Ivy was startled because the appearance of this group of people was very strange.

……

Spring body.

The part below the head where the body should be was replaced by something shaped like a spring.

Every time they took a step towards Ivy... or bounced, their spring joints would emit a subtle hum, expanding and contracting in a spiral. It was a very strange sight, as the heads of those people drew exaggerated parabolas under the pull of the springs, and then instantly bounced back into place.

The monsters uttered incoherent syllables and pounced on Ivy.

"!"

Xiaoyi swiftly stood in front, grabbed the throats of the monsters in front with both hands, and threw them out of the tower.

Ivy came back to her senses. She stared at the white fog under the tower. The monsters were falling, but she could not hear the sound of them falling for a long time.

It turned out to be the case.

This is indeed an illusion.

After knowing this conclusion, the originally panicked Ivy quickly calmed down.

Xiaoyi was still fighting hard. He was dutifully playing the role of a protector, preventing any monsters from approaching.

But there seemed to be some kind of communication between the monsters. After the first wave of monsters discovered Ivy's existence, their kind gathered under the tower and rushed up one after another.

Gradually, the ground on the top floor was filled with the remains of the monsters, and black liquid flowed from the cross-sections of the spring bodies and heads, like liquefied shadows.

Xiaoyi gradually became exhausted, so one monster successfully pinned him to the ground, and the others of the same kind followed closely and pounced on him.

Evie watched helplessly as her protector was torn into pieces, Xiaoyi like a pool of melted black water, mixing with the liquid flowing out of the monster.

She had no protector.

The last few monsters that climbed up stepped on the corpses of their own kind and slowly approached her.

They made inarticulate sounds that Evie could not understand.

“Is this… a dream?” Ivy held the dagger in her hand and stepped back subconsciously, but her waist was pressed against the terrace fence and she had nowhere to retreat.

The monsters were still approaching, and the monster in the front even suddenly rushed forward.

Just as the monster was about to touch her, Ivy jumped decisively and fell into the white mist under the tower.

……

……

Ivy woke up on the top floor of a tall tower, with gray fog outside.

“Where is this…?” She climbed up from the hard ground, feeling sore all over.

It seemed like she had some strange dreams, but she couldn't remember them.

"You're awake." Xiaoyi stood in the shadows.

This was supposed to be their first meeting, but for some reason, Ivy had a strange sense of déjà vu.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

Xiaoyi walked out of the shadows. He paused for a moment. His expression could not be seen clearly under his hood, but he probably felt strange. "Nothing. Why do you ask?"

"I don't know. I think I had a dream. Do you have any clue?"

"No."

Xiaoyi’s answer was still very concise.

"Why am I here?"

"Wait for someone to save you."

"Then why are you here?"

"protect you."

"Oh."

Ivy lowered her head and thought: "Then - how many times has this happened?"

"What do you mean?" Xiaoyi didn't understand.

As he was speaking, there was another noise coming from below the tower. It seemed that a group of people were approaching quickly on the spiral staircase.

"It's okay." Ivy decided not to dwell on this question. "Who's here?"

"monster."

"it is good."

She drew out her short knife and stood beside Xiaoyi: "Let's go together."

Xiao Yi turned his head and the shadow under the hood stared at her: "This is dangerous."

The sound quickly reached the top floor, and there were crackling knocks outside the door. The spring-like monsters broke in and rushed towards them.

"fine……"

Facing the monster's steps, Ivy raised his knife and stabbed it accurately at the junction of the spring and the head.

Pitch-black liquid gushed out from the cross-section and the monster fell to the ground, its body stretched out like a spring as if it had lost its strength.

Xiaoyi swiftly threw more monsters out of the tower. He coordinated with Ivy's movements and quickly cleared out the enemies that reached the top floor.

……

but.

The two of them alone could not withstand the continuous attacks.

Xiaoyi gradually became exhausted, and a monster found his weakness. Its head moved in a curved arc, approached him in an instant, and swallowed him in one gulp.

Then, more monsters came up and bit him into pieces, turning him into a pool of black water.

Failed again.

For some reason, Ivy had this idea.

She stepped back until she hit the terrace railing.

In front of her, five monsters with spring bodies surrounded her.

There is nowhere to hide.

Ivy shrank back in pain as she felt a sudden burning sensation in her hand, and the dagger fell to the ground.

"!"

She raised her eyes in horror and saw a monster right in front of her. It opened its huge black mouth and bit her arm.

Other monsters also rushed over, gnawing and tearing her apart.

Until the vision returns to darkness...

The next dream is about to begin.
