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

In the cold and silent underground, there is a forgotten building. Its walls are made of special metal stones and crystals, blending with the magical elements in the air. It is so strong that it can even withstand a natural disaster.

The remnants who covet the power of time are hiding here.

Ivy was very familiar with this place. She herself was also surprised. She had never expected that the enemy would hide in—

Under the orphanage.

This is where she grew up.

She had often been locked up in some of the detention rooms for skipping classes, but now, these ordinary detention rooms were obviously too insignificant.

As the key, she is now in a pure white room at the bottom of the ring hall. She is locked in a special cage in the center of the room.

The cage was made of special stone that could absorb and imprison magic. Thanks to it, Ivy was now almost unable to cast any magic. With her physical strength, she was unable to violently destroy the cage in front of her.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Two people walked in from the door.

One of them was Xi Xiu, and the other man was a complete stranger.

Ivy huddled in the corner warily. She couldn't guess what the enemy wanted to do to her.

"This is our second meeting. It seems that you have calmed down." Xi Xiu stopped in front of the cage. He leaned down slightly and put his hand between the bars. "Let's get along well in the next period of time."

"..."

Ivy didn't say anything. She shrank into the corner, but the hand still stopped in front of her patiently, waiting to shake hands with her.

Xi Xiu's face is 50% similar to Teacher Klin, and it can be seen that they are indeed brothers.

The difference is that Teacher Klin often smiles, pretending to be easy-going and friendly, but Xixiu doesn't need this kind of disguise at all. There is no expression on his face and he looks very cold.

very dangerous.

Ivy didn't dare to rashly anger him.

She raised her hand and shook it carefully.

"Good boy."

Xi Xiu smiled with satisfaction. He withdrew his hand, stepped back, and introduced the people around him.

"This is the head of the Yuye branch family, Lord Shiyan. He will go to the new world with you."

Time cigarette?

Isn’t he already dead…?

Ivy remained alert, trying to recall what Tokieda Meng had said.

She was very sure that Shi Zhimeng had said this.

The Yuye branch of the family has been destroyed and the head of the family is dead.

Then why is he still standing here?

Looking closely, Shi Yan's face was extremely pale. Compared to Xi Xiu beside him, he was even abnormally pale.

Like a living dead crawling out of a grave.

"Together..." Ivy whispered.

She was going to the new world with this half-dead man?

"Yes." Xi Zheng was about to answer when he was suddenly interrupted by the person next to him.

"Don't waste any more time, Mr. Xi Xiu, and get to the point."

Shi Yan stared at Ivy closely. He was like a dying wolf, and couldn't wait to open the door to the third round.

Xi Xiu just glanced at him calmly and replied slowly, "Don't worry, sir. You still have a lot of time."

"So best."

His face was still gloomy, and he waited impatiently for Xi Xiu's next move.

So Xi Xiu continued, "After the Sage's Heart is activated, you will enter the time vortex."

"In order to ensure that Master Shi Yan can successfully reach the world of the third round, you need to voluntarily give up your position as the first helmsman and be willing to be erased by time."

"I wonder if you would be willing, sir?"

There seemed to be no other answer to this question, so Xi Xiu did not wait for her to speak and said, "I guess you must not want to."

He finally dropped the polite tone that seemed appropriate in social situations.

"So next, I will brainwash you so that you can do this from the bottom of your heart."

Ivy hugged her knees subconsciously.

do not be afraid.

At least she knew what the enemy was trying to do.

Shi Yan frowned again: "Why bother? As long as I jump into the time vortex first, I can become the first helmsman. I just need to force her to activate the heart of the sage."

Xi Xiu refuted considerately: "No, the first person will be worn out by time, you need to go to the third round in the best condition."

When he heard about the wear and tear of time, Shi Yan immediately shut his mouth. He was probably wondering whether he had enough life to resist the wear and tear of time.

"Then do as you say."

Shi Yan's expression almost betrayed him.

He must be a dying man.

……

Ivy observed the two quietly.

Shi Zhimeng was right.

No one knows about the Sage's Heart. Ivy is the only one who has used it. To be more precise, the Sage's Heart was only used by her in the first round. In the current world, no one has come into contact with it.

Didn't they really know? Ivy gradually became certain in his heart.

They really didn't know.

The wear and tear of time does not discriminate between people in order of importance. No matter how many people jump into the time vortex, the wear and tear will fall equally on everyone.

And... they didn't seem to know that the second helmsman's memories could not be synchronized smoothly, and he would only become like Ivy.

……

Thinking this way, it doesn't matter if she is brainwashed. Although Ivy's life span is limited, she is confident that if she can outlast this half-dead man, she will regain control of time and reach the third round.

But... after she regains control of the helm, what will happen to her memory?

Will she become a consciousness living in the brain?

She... doesn't want this.

"Then, let's start now." Xi Xiu squatted down and his eyes were level with Ivy in the cage. "Next, please repeat what I said."

Ivy looked away uneasily, but Xixiu didn't pay attention to her little action and continued to speak -

"I voluntarily give up the control of time and hand over the power to my fellow traveler Shi Yan."

His words had a special magical power, like a spell of truth, connecting him and Ivy.

It's the magic of words.

As long as she said this, it was equivalent to tacitly accepting the contract.

Ivy said nothing.

Unless she is a fool.

She was still huddled in the corner, staring at the ground in the cage with trembling eyes. From the corner of her eye she could see that Xi Zheng was staring at her.

It seemed that once they looked at each other, Xi Xiu could capture her gaze and control her mind.

These are all things that black magic can do.

But Xi Xiu did not take the next step.

Instead, he sighed and stood up again.

"What a shame, it seems you are unwilling to cooperate."

The oppressive feeling in her sight disappeared, and Ivy breathed a sigh of relief. But she knew that the enemy would not let her go easily.

"It must be because we have known each other for such a short time."

Xi Xiu carefully analyzed the reasons, and suddenly he said generously, "In this case, let him persuade you."

-

"You can come in now, Krillin."
