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

Under the gardener's deliberate arrangement, the personnel guarding the secret realm of the echo mechanism became ordinary employees who were temporary replacements.

Most employees did not have outstanding magical skills, and under the interference of Ye Jiyan's illusions, they really did not notice anything unusual.

The three junior high school members hid quietly behind Ye Jiyan without saying a word. The employee's gaze passed over them without stopping, as if in his eyes, these three people were transparent and non-existent.

"These are four teleportation necklaces. Please use them in emergencies. Your exploration time is a maximum of three days. If you do not leave for more than three days, the necklaces will automatically teleport you out." The staff member read out the precautions in an unfamiliar voice.

This is also to deal with situations where students are trapped in the secret realm or lose their necklaces. If the wrong number of people are teleported out after three days, rescue can be launched in time.

Finally, after comparing their club's secret realm exploration qualification certificate and each person's student card and confirming that the names were correct, the staff watched the 'four' of them walk into the Echo Mechanism Secret Realm one by one. Shi Zhimeng, who walked last, specially expressed her gratitude to the staff.

After the three "transparent" junior high school members entered, Tokieda Yume ended her thanks and also walked into the secret realm.

……

After the entrance to the secret realm was closed and contact with the outside world was cut off, everyone felt relieved.

"Great, we managed to get in." Yu Liu was the most nervous of everyone. Before entering the secret realm, he followed Ye Jiyan closely, his face so tense that he didn't even dare to breathe.

"It seems my plan was successful." Shi Zhimeng was very proud, as if the ingenious plan she had thought of in just a second had done a great job. "Although the person at the door is different from what I investigated at the beginning, as long as everything goes well in the end!"

The one who really made a great contribution was the gardener.

But the plan inevitably had some omissions, and only four life-saving teleportation necklaces were distributed.

Tokieda Yume discussed the plan on the spot.

"Because there are not enough transmission necklaces, we have to prioritize the safety of the junior high school members. Let them each get a necklace, and then simply divide them into groups."

"Are we going to act separately?" Ying felt uneasy again when she heard about the grouping.

"To be more precise, each of you will be assigned a guardian. The guardian's task is to protect and be responsible for the safety of the junior high school members."

At this moment, Tokieda Meng really has some of the heroic spirit of a president, and he considers things very seriously and comprehensively.

So, Ivy, Hotaru Mata, and Yuru each received a necklace, and the extra one was kept by President Tokieda Yume first.

Although Yuru took the initiative to show that he had a necklace with a similar function, Tokieda Yume still hung the free necklace around his neck.

Then came the grouping. Tokizhi Meng prioritized attribute magic and put Ivy and Ye Jiyan, who were both illusion-type, into the same group.

Yuru and Yume Tokieda, both of whom are wind-type, are in a group.

In the end, Ying was assigned to a group with the remaining two people.

Being grouped with the terrible Manyo Yu and the terrible Hatsuyu, Ying became pale with nervousness again, but at least she was the safest for now.

"This is the result of the grouping. Everyone please protect your children!"

……

……

The terrain in the Echoing Secret Realm was very strange and complex. Everywhere you looked, you could see lifeless buildings. Some of them towered into the sky like giant statues, while others went straight into the ground with no end in sight. They all exuded a cold and hard aura.

Ivy spread her magic power far away, but soon became dizzy with the complex and chaotic terrain. In the process, she did not detect any breath of magical creatures.

I remember Ying Youyou said that the difficulty of this secret realm lies in the mechanisms and terrain changes. It is very easy to get lost, and it is difficult for natural magical creatures to survive in it.

At this moment, Ying Youyou also felt the gap between books and reality. She looked at the cold and deserted mechanical city in front of her, which was like a wasteland, and was so surprised that she forgot to speak.

"Watch your step." Chu Yu pulled her back.

"!" Ying suddenly became so nervous that her body stiffened until Chu Yu let her go.

The path they were on became narrower and narrower, until finally only one person could pass through.

Walking straight along the rope ladder on the side of the building, there is a bottomless abyss under your feet, like a huge black hole.

After walking for a while, they came to a wide circular platform with a mechanical pillar in the center.

"Everyone, stand firm."

Shi Zhimeng stood in the center of the platform and injected magic power into the mechanism column.

Suddenly, the platform began to shake and was separated from the connected high-rise building!

The platform slowly rose, then moved forward above the abyss, and finally arrived at the other side of the abyss, perfectly connecting with the building opposite.

This platform acts as a bridge in the city of machinery.

"The ore detector is responding. It's on the lower level."

"It seems that the exploration records of the predecessors are still useful. Let's go."

After saying that, Shizhi Meng pulled Yu Liu and walked in front to take the lead.

Ye Jiyan followed behind, and Ivy silently followed his steps.

The remaining three people walked at the back, and Ying was sandwiched in the middle, unable to speak out her pain.

She was really afraid of these two people.

When I walked down the stairs, there was a loud noise suddenly coming from above!

“Avi!” Ying’s face changed again, and she rushed forward and tried to push Ivi away.

But just as she was about to touch him, Wan Yexi suddenly pulled her back. At the same time, Ye Jiyan also pulled Ivy in front of him.

A huge wall fell from the sky, instantly separating the front and the back!

But the mechanism did not end there. With sharp wind sounds and heavy noises, the walls continued to fall, hitting every descending step.

Ye Jiyan picked up Ivy with one hand and jumped down the stairs as swiftly as the wind. His steps were light and steady, and he finally reached the lower level smoothly.

The mechanism stopped, and the walls tightly blocked the stairs, thick and solid.

Also coming to the lower space were Tokieda Yume and Yuru. The moment she heard the mechanism activated, Tokieda Yume controlled the wind and brought Yuru downstairs with him. She was the fastest person.

"Manye, are you okay?" Tokizhi Meng shouted to the upper level through countless walls.

"We're fine, how about you?"

"We are fine too. Can you find a way to get down?"

"I'll try to punch through the wall!"

Chu Yu's voice came from above to stop him: "Wait a minute, what if the mechanism is triggered again?"

The people above discussed for a while, and finally Wan Yexi conveyed: "Let's try to find another way down, and then meet at the bottom."

Shi Zhimeng readily agreed.

"It doesn't matter! Now is the perfect time for grouping, so go explore without worry!"

Her outing mentality that she carries through to the end is truly worth learning.

"Avi, wait for me--!" Ying's desperate cry came from above again.

"Well, see you later." Ivy also responded to the thoughts from the upper level.
