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

The chess spirit world collapsed and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned into a dark void in an instant. The black chess spirit finally stopped its deadly attack, as if it had completed its mission, and turned into light and dissipated; while the white chess spirit suffered a fatal blow and fell to the ground and died, looking up at the sky with unwilling eyes.

Its hatred turned into a curse, breaking out of the world of annihilation and coming outside the chessboard.

Meanwhile, the All-Seeing Eye pronounced its verdict.

"The game is over, Black wins."

The white chess curse instantly penetrated into Ibiru's body, and the powerful power of the curse also impacted the surrounding environment, distorting the space.

Ivy completely blocked the aftermath of the curse with her [Level 5] posture. She watched Ibiru's defeat in silence until the curse completely entered her body and the aftermath dissipated.

"You lose, Ruby. I'm sorry I can't bear witness to your death again."

Ibiru opened his eyes wide and looked at her unwillingly, as if he wanted to reach out to stop her: "You..."

Ivy bowed gracefully, like the curtain call of a performance.

"Then I will be the first to leave. May you have a sweet dream."

When Ivy woke up, she saw Ibiru's face with a gloomy expression.

The all-seeing eye in the sky turned dark, which meant that the victory was certain. She had indeed won.

The feeling of opening my eyes and finding that the battle was over was unexpectedly good.

"The game will end in five minutes. If there is no correction, the bet will be executed at the end."

When Ibiru heard that he might only have five minutes left to live, he was surprisingly calm.

"Can I ask a few questions?" Ivy asked politely.

"...So that's it."

Ibiru looked clear and said, "The reason you took away the 'lie' was just for this moment."

After stripping away the lies, the answers you get will surely be extremely true.

Ivy did not deny it, but asked, "Are you also a member of the Shi family's reform faction?"

"Yes."

“Is every gardener a reformist?”

“Maybe.” Ibiru’s answer was vague. She explained, “I don’t care about their affairs.”

"Who do you take orders from?"

"The Yuye family split up, and the head of the family is Shi Yan."

A name and a family division that I had never heard of appeared.

Ivy silently kept this information in mind and asked further, "Does he want the Sage's Heart?"

"Yes and no."

"Is it his plan to train us?"

"I don't know." Ibiru shook his head, "Before you entered school, I didn't know you existed."

"Who created the blue flower?"

"The original person has been poisoned to death. Now it is managed by Ran Yin, your dean."

Ivy lowered her head in thought.

Although it was the director of the orphanage who raised them, he was just following orders, and there was someone else manipulating them behind the scenes.

But no matter who that person is, they all seem to belong to the Yuye branch family and take orders from the head of the family, Shi Yan.

Ibiru smiled and said, "If you want to know who caused all this, why don't you ask - who made the head of the family, Shi Yan, want to steal the heart of the sage?"

"Who is it?"

Ivy didn't expect Ibiru to give her a hint.

"Kutar Sixiu, no matter how things evolve in the meantime, he is always the beginning of everything."

"Kutar..."

A familiar last name.

"The elder brother of the gardener Klin." Ibiruer introduced him and sneered, "They are all mentally ill people."

"Family disputes and time authority are too complicated. At least for you, if you just want revenge, killing Xi Xiu and Ran Yin is enough."

"Thank you for telling me, but I will use my own judgment."

Ivy looked at her and asked, "Last question, why 'ten years ago'?"

Ten years ago was a very distant time point for her, and she had no idea what major events had happened back then.

Generally speaking, leaving aside whether her lifespan can withstand the wear and tear of time travel, she probably wasn't weaned ten years ago.

Ibiru showed a meaningful smile: "So you didn't know, you obviously like her so much."

"Like?" Ivy tilted her head and thought for a moment. "You mean... Pukulia?"

"Ten years ago, Elq was murdered, and since then, she has become Pukulia's inner demon..." Ibirul looked into the distance, and seemed to think of Pukulia's appearance, her eyes became soft.

"Are you testing me for her?" Ivy was surprised.

It turns out that Pukulia's daughter had passed away ten years ago.

Evie knew nothing.

Pukulia never said this, and Ivie never asked.

She is a person who likes solitude but is afraid of solitude. She can feel the sense of distance from Pukulia. It is the sense of security brought by this distance that makes her dare to get close to Pukulia without crossing the line.

She would always stop at a suitable distance and watch everything that Pukulia was going through.

"Don't you believe that we have a good relationship?" Ibiru looked at her with a smile, "If you hadn't appeared, I would still be an ordinary teacher who knows nothing. After the class every day, I would go to Pukulia's courtyard to sit and drink tea and chat, watch her get drunk and crazy, and clean up the mess for her."

"I haven't seen you in the potion garden."

"One year, I accidentally broke her flowers. Since then, the potion garden has banned me from entering, and the ban has not been lifted until now."

Ibiluer felt a little regretful, but her eyes lit up, and she suddenly remembered: "But she no longer grows flowers. Maybe I can go in again..."

"It's a pity that I only have less than five minutes to live. So forget it." Ibirul sighed and accepted the consequences of failure calmly.

Ivy couldn't help but ask, "Even if I go back ten years, do you think I could save her daughter?"

For this unrealistic desire, he risked his life and ended up losing.

Ivy suddenly felt that it was no wonder that Ibiruer regarded Pukulia as a friend. They both had unique ways of thinking.

"You should have seen it. The world after the reset is full of traces of the 'first game'."

"..."

"It's the same with human nature. After experiencing such deep pain, it will always leave traces that time cannot erase. If she does it again, she will catch up." Ibiluer vowed in a gentle tone.

"I won't go back to ten years ago. Even if I really reset time again, I won't go back that far." Ivy shattered her fantasy.

Ibiruer was not discouraged. She seemed to have seen through everything: "Your heart has also been deeply scarred. This has nothing to do with your will. I believe... the heart of the sage will make the decision for you."

Just like the 'first time'.

The first time the time was reset, the Sage's Heart made a choice for her and returned to the time point where she could save Ying Youyou.

"So, this bet——"

Ibiru looked at her.

“It’s a win-win situation for both of us.”
