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

In the cool and humid mist, there stood a tall tower. Ivy woke up alone on the top floor of the tower, with no one around.

What place is this? She tried to remember.

Before she could think of anything useful, there were knocks on the door. The sound was neither fast nor slow, and seemed tentative but not hostile.

Ivy walked to the door and opened it.

A group of furtive, masked and hooded men stood outside the door.

“…Who are you?” Ivy raised her eyebrows.

The guy in the lead looked into the room, as if looking for other people. After confirming that there was no one, he asked mysteriously, "Hey, little sister, are you alone? Do you want to go out with us for some fresh air?"

"We have no ill intentions hehehe..."

Questionable remarks.

Even the person walking beside him couldn't stand it anymore.

"No? Can you speak? Let me do it."

So someone else stood in front of Ivy.

He rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Hello, we are from the special operations team. After our efforts, the unrest outside has been quelled. Our current mission is to send you home safely. Come with us..."

Ivy stood still, her expression saying it all.

Someone nearby also complained quietly: "Your fabrication is too unlikeable! Can't you be more sincere?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"She won't suddenly jump off the building, right? Why don't we go around her first..."

"Maybe he didn't intend to do that, but after we messed him up, he might want to jump."

"Why not just recognize the relatives on the spot? We are all good friends, right?"

"With this look?"

"Will she believe it?"

The whispered complaints gradually turned into loud conspiracies.

Ivy's expression remained unchanged, and she secretly thought to herself: Is she deaf?

"No matter what, sincerity is the greatest killer move!"

The masked Zhi Meng squeezed to the front again and hugged her with emotion: "Xiao Wei! I have been looking for you for a long time! Do you still remember me? I am your sister!"

After she introduced herself, she accurately picked out Wan Yexi and Chu Yu from the crowd: "And this is your sister, this is also your sister!"

“And this one…” Tokizhi Meng pulled out Ying Youyou again and stared at her for a long time, as if comparing her age difference with Ivy. “Oh! This is your sister too!”

Then, he pointed randomly in the crowd and said, "That's your sister too!"

Ye Jiyan: “?”

"Remember now, we are reunited, come home with us!"

She hugged Evie tightly again.

The silence of the crowd was deafening. Only a fool would believe such a family reunion scene.

However, even if Ivy didn't believe it, it didn't matter. She was already firmly in the hands of Shi Zhimeng and could be forcibly abducted downstairs at any time.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Ivy's gentle laughter came to my ear.

Tokieda Meng nervously let go of her hand. Her limited memory made her worry that Ivy might have mutated.

She didn't want to be the first unlucky person to be bitten to death this time.

Ivy stopped laughing and pointed out her mistake speechlessly: "That's too fake. I don't have so many sisters."

"Oh..." Tokizhi Meng scratched his head.

What should we do now? Kidnap them by force?

Just as the group of people were thinking of new countermeasures, Ivy held Tokieda Meng's hand.

"Let's go."

“What—?” Tokie Meng was shocked, and her voice startled Ivy.

"...Didn't you say we should go home together?" Ivy was speechless. "Bad guy."

"Bad...bad guy?" Hearing this familiar name, Shizhi Meng was happy, "You have memory this time? Do you remember us?"

Ivy looked proud: "Did I say I forgot?"

After floating around the bottom of the illusion and coming back, her mind became much clearer. She recovered a lot of memories along the way, even clearer than anyone else present.

The way to crack this game is very simple, as long as Ivy takes the initiative to walk down the tower.

Any reasonable behavior that complies with the rules and plays a role is likely to make the dream deeper and deeper.

"Great! Come with us!"

……

When they went down the stairs, the white mist had already reached their ankles, as if they were actively drowning in the sea of ​​fog. The pure white mist continued to flow below.

Ivy reached out and touched the edge of the wall. The stairs extended under her feet. She walked down step by step until a pure white appeared in front of her.

This process seemed to last for a very long time, until the last step disappeared into nothingness. Ivi stood on the pure white ground with nothing in front of him, just like when the illusion was first constructed.

……

……

"You finally woke up."

Evie woke up with a start.

The fresh air of the forest wafted into the air as the group set up camp. The dancing sparks made crackling sounds and sounded warm.

The first thing he saw was Tokieda Meng's concerned expression: "What's wrong? You're so startled, haven't you gotten enough sleep?"

Ivy sat up with lingering fear, feeling a little resentful: "Don't say that again, it's a bit stressful."

"Ok??"

"Vivi, did you have a nightmare?" Wan Yexi sat over considerately and handed her a glass of water.

"Was that a dream?" Ivy took the cup of water and silently observed the people around him.

Was it a nightmare? Or an illusion?

Everyone looked as if nothing had happened. Could it be just a weird dream she had?

"Don't think about it after you wake up." Wan Yexi rubbed her head.

Evie nodded.

"……All right."

……

The night of secret time.

As Evie fell asleep again, the other companions woke up stealthily.

They gathered together quietly and placed the spoils of the Illusionary Maze in the middle.

It was a spiral made of crystal material, with white light particles emitting from the upper and lower ends, which seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power at a conceptual level.

"Is this the...core of the spring monster?" Ying couldn't help but complain about the appearance of the treasure again.

It looked quite dreamy at first glance, but when she thought of the monsters in the fantasy, she couldn't help but guess.

Could this be the spine of some spring monster king?

"I didn't expect the last cycle to end so easily. Xiaoye, I admit that you have something." Shizhi Meng praised.

Ye Jiyan said calmly: "I didn't do anything on purpose, she just understood it quickly."

"This is a small step towards success." Wan Yexi stared at the white spiral.

One of the key props, but just one of them.

"The rest of the stuff will have to wait until school starts."

"...Can we really succeed?" Ying couldn't help feeling discouraged again.

After school starts, without the help of the current exploration team, things may become more difficult.

"It is not so easy to erase the wear and tear of time, but... this is the most critical problem we have to solve." Shi Zhimeng looked at the fire in the camp from afar, full of thoughts.

"We can definitely do it." Chu Yu tried to give them confidence.

"take it easy."

"We still have plenty of time."
