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

The actions of the inner demon did not end there, but instead intensified over the past few days.

……

Ivy often saw the inner demon trying to assassinate Ying Youyou. Sometimes it stood still, waiting for Ying Youyou to slowly approach, and sometimes it took the initiative to rush forward, intending to pierce her body with the dagger.

At first, Evie would try to stop it, but under Ying's increasingly puzzled gaze, she gradually became a bystander.

So, she began to witness Fireflies falling in pools of blood and dying again and again, and then new Fireflies appeared from another direction, and the dead Fireflies under her feet turned into illusions and disappeared.

The same scene continued throughout the day.

Ivy gradually couldn't distinguish between hallucinations and reality, but she also realized that the inner demon would not really kill Ying Youyou, but would only use it to torture her own spirit.

Although it was a bit mentally tormenting, she could endure it.

The inner demon seemed to have noticed her change. Its little trick no longer had any effect on Ivy, so it changed its tactics.

……

'thump--'

The steps beneath my feet seemed to disappear.

When Ivy lay on his back on the ground, his mind was still confused.

"Avi, are you okay?"

Ying rushed over from a distance again and helped Ivy up.

"Didn't you sleep well? You missed a step on the stairs." Tokieda Meng came over and checked her ankle, "Is it not sprained?"

"It's fine."

Ivy looked up at the crumbling chandelier. Whether it was a coincidence or something else, Ying Youyou was right below it.

The moment the chandelier fell, she threw out a defensive barrier to block the impact.

However, the chandelier disappeared after the fall, and a new chandelier reappeared on the ceiling.

"What are you defending against?" Shi Zhimeng looked up at the defensive barrier, feeling strange.

Ivy slowly withdrew her hand.

"Ha." She sneered, "Is it like this now..."

……

However, she still underestimated the impact this hallucination would have on her.

Since he was convinced that the inner demon was an illusion, Ivy could try to ignore it no matter what it did.

But the environment is not good.

She couldn't tell whether the suddenly falling chandelier was an illusion or reality, couldn't tell whether the objects that were about to explode, couldn't tell whether the sudden influx of bees, or whether all the things that were happening were non-human accidents.

Is it an illusion? Or is it real?

She instinctively protected everyone, but she found that everything she saw was an illusion. Gradually, her mind became more distracted.

After all, she had never been good at illusion magic, and was not sensitive to the illusions and hallucinations in her vision, so at this moment, she was repeatedly fooled by her inner demons.

If you want to find a way to prevent it, you can only ask experts in the field of illusion.

……

……

Ye Jiyan lay leisurely on the bed without raising his head.

After listening to Ivy's statement quietly, he confirmed, "So, your recent series of strange behaviors are all influenced by your inner demons?"

"Yes." Ivy sat on a chair beside him, looking confused. "But I've tried to act normal. Is it still weird?"

"Of course. There's a bigger difference between 'not seeing' and 'pretending not to see' than you think."

"Okay..." Ivy asked him seriously, "Do you have any ideas?"

Ye Jiyan fell into a long silence, so long that Ivy thought he had fallen asleep.

Finally he spoke slowly.

“There are two ways.”

"Learn how to distinguish illusion from reality, and no longer be influenced by the demons in your heart."

"Or, use some means to seal it, so that your inner demon falls into a deep sleep and no longer affects you."

Ye Jiyan raised her eyes: "Which one do you prefer?"

"Although I prefer the second one, the first one is also acceptable."

Evie thought she was very considerate.

The inner demon from the eighth level of the secret realm is not something that can be sealed so easily. Although she was the one who asked for help first, she didn't want to cause too much trouble for Ye Jiyan.

“Judging from your expression, do you think I can’t do it?” Ye Jiyan raised his eyebrows and said in an unpleasant tone.

"Ah..." Ivy covered her face.

Is it obvious?

"This is not the attitude of asking for help. I would be angry too."

Having said that, there was no joy or anger on Ye Jiyan's face, as if he was just observing Ivy's reaction.

"I'm sorry." Ivy apologized sincerely, "Can you help me seal it?"

After she finished speaking, Ivy secretly observed Ye Jiyan's reaction. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, she racked her brains for a long time and finally added: "Please, brother."

Perhaps it was because this address was devoid of true feelings, Ye Jiyan couldn't help but sneer: "Hypocrisy."

Evie hung her head.

Is it not possible...

Unexpectedly, Ye Jiyan didn't buy it.

“But considering your sacrifice…” Ye Jiyan changed the subject, as if there was a turning point.

Ivy looked up, eyes full of anticipation.

"I'll help you."

"Really? That's very nice of you."

It seems he still buys into this.

……

……

"So you think that the 'obsession' of your inner demon is to kill Ying Youyou?" Ye Jiyan confirmed with her.

“…Yeah.” Ivy nodded.

She had witnessed the 'death' of Ying Youyou too many times and gradually became indifferent to it. She hated it.

"Why would it do that?"

"..."

"Don't want to say? Then forget it." Ye Jiyan did not ask any further questions, but continued with his actions, placing some useless items at specific locations on the ground, as if setting up a magic circle.

Ivy tried to explain: "I'm just afraid that you'll become a bad person after you know this."

Although the explanation given is very outrageous and far-fetched.

Ye Jiyan was amused: "Do you think I can?"

"Maybe not...but I don't know."

"I prefer to go with the flow, but life or death makes no difference to me."

Ivy tilted her head: "Why are you saying this?"

"Because I want you to know that I have no interest in changing the world."

“……?” Ivy opened her eyes wide.

She obviously didn't say anything.

Obviously Ye Jiyan should know nothing, but he actually mentioned 'changing the world'?

How much did he guess and how much did he see through?

"Everything and everyone in this world is boring to me. Living or dying is just a matter of time."

After saying that, Ye Jiyan suddenly smiled, held his chin with one hand, and looked at her intently.

"But you are the only one who is interesting."

……

"Thanks?"

Although Ivy didn't quite understand, he still thanked her first.

At this time, Ye Jiyan had finished setting up the strange magic circle. He asked Ivy to stand in the center while he faced her.

"Now, look at your inner demon and don't look away."

The inner demon stood in the distance, like a bystander, seemingly unaware that they were plotting to seal it.

"Okay." Ivy had already locked his sights on the inner demon.

Powerful magical fluctuations of illusion were spreading all around.

"It will be fine soon." Ye Jiyan said as he touched his forehead with hers.

Hints of an illusion-type seal... suddenly flooded into her mind.
