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

Walking on the covered bridge, the cold wind was whistling around, and the buildings in the distance were blurred in the fog.

When they reached the middle of the covered bridge, the doors in front and behind suddenly made dull noises.

The gate dropped like a brake, trapping them inside.

Evie looked up first.

Among the high tower buildings, a statue slowly woke up.

With a sharp sword in hand, it flipped over and jumped into the corridor bridge, and its joints creaked as if they were rusty.

"Wow! It's a living mechanical creature!" Tokizhi Meng's eyes lit up with excitement.

When the statue raised its sword and pounced towards her, Tokie Meng rushed forward with great speed.

When it was about to make contact, she gently turned sideways, avoiding the rusty blade and going behind the statue!

The blade struck the ground with a violent impact.

Tokieda Meng took the opportunity to secretly touch the statue several times from behind.

"Senior Shi! This is too dangerous!" Yu Liu was completely frightened by Shi Zhimeng's smooth movements, and he spoke out to stop her.

“Ah… cough cough!”

Shi Zhimeng quickly retracted her excitement, as if nothing that had just happened had happened.

"Let's get this over with quickly!"

The two men joined the battle, and wild winds continued to hit the statue's body from all directions.

Its body is made of machinery and mechanisms, yet it can withstand the impact of turbulence! Its rusty body is stiff but not slow, and the long sword in its hand is also extremely hard.

After repeated attacks failed, Tokie's urge to tear it apart became stronger and stronger!

"It's worthy of being a creation from a secret realm. I really want to see how the mechanical heart inside works!"

At this time, the other side.

Ivy still stared at the towers high up.

More statues came to life. They stood quietly in the tower, and their eyes under the helmets seemed to be staring closely at this side.

"Can illusions deceive them?"

They had nowhere to hide at the moment, and if this group of statues really came over together, the situation might not be good.

"You saw it too." Ye Jiyan glanced at the statue on the covered bridge.

He had already cast all sorts of hallucinations and illusions on the statue from the beginning.

"They don't rely on vision to fight, perhaps, out of instinct?"

They represent the will of the secret realm. Illusions can cover their eyes but cannot cover the eyes of the secret realm.

The secret realm still watched them.

“Then let’s try this.” Ivy held the pillar of the covered bridge.

The huge illusion magic instantly enveloped the entire bridge. At the same time, the statues on the tower took action!

They jumped towards the bridge and tried to land.

The covered bridge also underwent tremendous changes. The roof became tall and slanted, and the surface was covered with a layer of abrupt ice and snow.

The statues that fell on the top suddenly slipped and fell along the inclined roof into the abyss below the bridge.

"It's very much your style." Ye Jiyan commented.

"?"

However, the slide on the covered bridge was not 100% successful, and a few statues still broke through the bricks and tiles on the roof and came onto the bridge.

The statue locked onto them and charged at them, sword raised.

Ye Jiyan took a step forward, holding the Shadow Sword in his hand to fight back—

The two swords collided, and the statue's sword turned into foam and dissipated in an instant, while the virtual sword in Ye Jiyan's hand became real and turned into the rusty sword, slashing towards the statue's head!

'boom--'

The rusty sword broke, the statue's momentum collapsed, and then it stood firm again in an instant!

suddenly!

A violent wind blew up from the covered bridge, blowing everyone off the ground without distinction.

Ye Jiyan used the power of the wind to kick the statue off the bridge.

……

In the wind field, someone caught Ivy steadily.

"The treasure hunt is over, it's time to start the real battle!"

Tokizhi Meng held the mechanical heart, her eyes shining with excitement.

The original statue, having lost its core, fell on the bridge, as if only a suit of armor remained.

“There’s still a lot left.”

Ivy saw the statues rising up from the towers.

The wild gusts of wind kept blowing between the pillars of the corridor, and the statues on the bridge locked onto Shi Zhimeng and attacked her intently.

Tokieda Yume shuttled between the statues at an extremely fast speed, knocking them down with wind flow.

And Yuru also tried his best to cooperate with Tokieda Yume in the messy wind, and the two wind forces merged into one, turning into a stronger force.

"Hahaha - this is something you desire but cannot have!"

Tokizhi Meng saw through the empty shells of those statues, and the mechanical hearts in her hands were equally cold and inanimate.

"But what you are pursuing is not real. Even if it is beating inside you right now, it is not the real heart."

The will of the secret realm brings them back to life, but can they really be considered living things?

Countless statues were born, rushed, slid down, and fell into the abyss.

But... there is an end.

The final statue ascends the covered bridge.

At this time, the top of the bridge had been smashed into pieces, and the ice and snow that covered it were unable to support it. Finally, in a gust of wind, the roof of the corridor was blown away and fell into the abyss.

The mechanical heart made a slight sound of gears, as if it was still running.

The last statue was the largest, and the long sword it was equipped with was extremely new, shining sharply in the cold wind.

A fierce battle began, with strong winds and sharp swords constantly colliding.

In this kind of windy environment, wind magicians do have the advantage.

……

Ivy found an opportunity to come to the empty shell of the original statue.

Having lost its mechanical heart, it naturally also lost the energy for movement. Now in the biting cold wind, it seemed to rust faster.

Ivy placed her hands on the armor, and her fingers instantly turned red from the cold.

She retracted her hand, then patiently attached it again, quickly injecting a large amount of illusion magic power.

"What ideas do you have this time?"

Ye Jiyan stood beside him and asked quietly.

"I want to bring it back to life and turn it into a helper."

Ye Jiyan understood immediately.

“You always get what you want.”

"If you have a wish, I can consider helping you realize it." Ivy said halfway, and then added, "But I'm not a real wish-granting machine. If you have an outrageous wish, then I advise you not to dream."

"Haha, how heartless."

Ivy didn't say anything else and continued to inject magic into the empty shell.

……

After watching for a while, Ye Jiyan also squatted down and put his hand on Ivy's frozen little hand.

Ivy was stunned.

In addition to the warm heat, there is also a stronger illusion magic power coming from the hands.

"I want to replace the heart and make it move, but it requires a lot of magic power." Ye Jiyan teased her while transmitting magic power, "I don't want to carry a corpse that has been depleted of magic power around."

Ivy swallowed back the thanks that was about to come out of his mouth.

She retorted unhappily: "I don't want you to carry me, you are the corpse!"
