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

When they pushed open the heavy door of the Moon Hall, the statue elves suddenly changed their attack targets like crazy evil spirits and rushed towards them.

Even the palace guards turned, their jeweled eyes staring in the direction of the Moon Hall, trying to freeze the intruders.

They hurriedly hid behind the door, avoiding the deadly sight, but did not rush to close the door.

Shi Zhimeng guessed that perhaps the open door was the key to judging the "concept".

And the moment they stepped into the Moon Hall, the familiar light blue magic light flowed in the texture of the walls and the door, as if something was activated and awakened.

Not a single statue elf broke in.

Although I couldn't see the scene outside the door, I could tell from the sounds that the door was filled with terrifying statue elves. They were making anxious growls and screams, and the sounds were like the friction and collision of stones.

"Non-Duty Person"

Someone's whisper seemed to be heard in the sky, like a natural sound, blowing into the mind of every living being.

The will of the secret realm seems to be judging the sins of its creatures.

They let intruders into the Moon Hall, they violated their duty, they violated the 'concept'.

Thunder and lightning fell from the sky, like a punishment from heaven, making a loud crackling sound.

There was a howling sound outside, but it soon stopped.

Ying couldn't help but want to lean over to take a look again, but was pulled back by Shi Zhimeng.

They hid quietly behind the door until the situation outside calmed down.

……

I don't know how long it took, but I heard footsteps outside the door.

"Ameng, are you there?" Wan Yexi's voice came first, "There is no danger outside."

"Okay." Shi Zhimeng responded softly, walked to the door alone, observing the situation outside, but his feet never left the Moon Hall.

After a moment, with her permission, Ivy and the others also moved closer to the door and looked outside.

All the statue elves returned to the pillars and turned back to their original appearance, but with black smoke from being burned by electricity floating on their bodies, as if telling of everything they had just experienced.

The huge palace guard was now leaning quietly against one of the pillars, as if he had fallen asleep again, waiting for the next group of explorers.

The only thing that was regrettable was that in the garden courtyard that had experienced the punishment of heavenly thunder, almost all the human-shaped statues were destroyed, their metal bodies were shattered into pieces by electric shock, and no blood or flesh could be seen on the cold metal cross-sections.

"It's okay... they have been asleep for a long time." Shi Zhimeng whispered comforting words, as if she was talking to herself.

Afterwards, she asked Ivy and Ying to stay where they were and went out to discuss something with the captain of the exploration team.

Some members of the exploration team recorded the battle information and added the intelligence to the secret realm data, while the other part carefully stepped into the Moon Hall and were blinded by the dazzling array of treasures.

"I didn't expect that Senior Shi really guessed it right." Ying was still thinking about the magical development just now, "How did you guess the concept?"

It was like the voice of the will of the secret realm surged into her mind, as absolute and authoritative as a law, and then their enemies really fell silent.

“It’s probably due to the experience gap,” Ivy guessed.

Just like they were not allowed to leave the Moon Hall now, it seemed to be to prevent the 'withdrawal' of the conceptual punishment.

In the courtyard, the broken human-shaped statues were gathered together. Tokizhi Meng and several high-level magicians gathered in a circle, as if praying for the human-shaped statues that had long passed away.

Rest in peace.

She seemed to realize just now that it was because of her decision that the divine punishment appeared and destroyed all the human-shaped statues.

“…She shouldn’t be such a picky person.” Ivy looked at Shi Zhimeng’s busy figure and spoke softly.

"What?" Ying Youyou obviously didn't think that much.

Ivy pointed at the mess in the courtyard and said, "Look at the things on the ground. Do you think that Tokieda Meng caused them to die a second time?"

"The things on the ground..." Following her gaze, Ying looked at the metal-like broken limbs and bodies again, and then realized, "They...ah, so Senior Shi feels guilty?"

"do not know."

But it is obvious that praying for these people whose souls and bodies have disappeared into the mysterious realm will make them feel inner peace.

……

……

"Avi was very powerful just now." After a brief silence, Ying suddenly spoke again, "I thought you would definitely be forcibly teleported out of the secret realm."

"Ah."

Ivy's expression remained calm. She had already thought of a less rigorous excuse: "I used a magic that can temporarily make me stronger. That was originally my secret weapon."

"So that's how it is. No wonder Avi became so powerful all of a sudden. He's like a completely different person."

Ivy had no memory of that period, but looking at Ying Youyou's expression, she always felt that the other person was hiding something.

"...After I used this magic, my mind became unclear, so I probably didn't do anything strange."

Ying shook her head again: "There's nothing strange, Avi is very normal."

"Yeah, that's good."

Ivy looked at her and asked directly, "Then why are you so unhappy?"

"Eh...is it obvious?" Ying seemed to have not expected that she would be exposed.

"Yeah, because I care about you, too."

"I see." Ying lowered her head again, as if secretly happy, "I was just thinking, just now."

"Ah."

"Just now, the way Avi looked at me seemed different from usual. He looked a little fierce, a little unhappy, and a little... strange." After saying that, Ying scratched her head again in embarrassment, "Am I being too squeamish and making a fuss out of nothing? I'm sorry."

Evie shook her head.

"I should be the one to say sorry. I didn't mean it. Just think of me as being blind."

Ying was amused again: "Not really, really."

But Ivy felt a little heavy-hearted. Although she had no choice but to ask her future senior to take action, she didn't expect that the other party had no intention of hiding his hostility at all.

And it was towards Firefly again and again...

It's ok.

Ivy comforted herself silently in her heart.

Anyway, she is the one who truly controls her destiny. Her actions and decisions will not be influenced by anyone, including herself.

"...!"

Suddenly, Evie's eyes widened.

She saw her inner demon approaching from a distance.

"She" had a cold look in her eyes, holding a short knife in her hand, and moved closer to Ying step by step.

Hallucination? Or reality?

Ivy, who saw the inner demon in action for the first time, was unable to understand the situation.

But Ying also looked in the direction of her inner demon, as if quietly waiting for the other party to approach.

"She" raised the knife and stretched it forward, as if she was about to stab Ying Youyou.

Ivy stretched out her hand and gripped the hilt of the knife to stop her.

"Xiaowei?"

That's not the feel of the handle.

Evie blinked, and the demon was gone.

The person standing in front of him turned into Tokieda Yume.

At this moment, Shi Zhimeng was holding the key straight, feeling the direction of the key's resonance.

"What's wrong with you?" Shi Zhimeng asked curiously, "Do you want to find treasure too?"

……

“…………It’s okay.” Ivy silently let go of his hand and stood aside.
