“Okay, let’s organize the information first.”
Nuo Ai’er sat steadily on the floor of the cramped cell and let out a long sigh. The memory of the previous cycle was crystal clear:
Stella’s identity as Guild Master, and the fact that the Falcon Guild was not very harmonious internally. Most importantly—she had figured out that Tina had a weakness.
To deal with a loli like her, who was cold on the outside but not cold on the inside, she had to use gentle persuasion and slowly extract information to have a chance of winning.
“Stella is still in the cabin right now… I can’t talk while she’s here. I’ll wait.”
Nuo Ai’er obediently curled up in the corner and stayed quiet.
According to the memory of the previous cycle, Stella would go out after a while, and then Tina would come to bring Nuo Ai’er food. She would work on Tina’s heart when they were alone.
***
Time passed slowly.
Finally, light footsteps and the sound of a door opening came from outside.
Stella’s voice rang out: “I’ll go patrol the periphery once more to see if there’s anyone else. Tina, keep an eye on that little prisoner.”
“Mm.”
Tina’s cool reply followed.
Then the cabin door closed again, and the whole cabin fell completely silent.
The familiar opportunity for alone time had come again.
Soon, the lock of the small cell turned softly, and the wooden door was pushed open.
The blue-haired, single-ponytailed loli entered carrying dark bread and water. She still looked expressionlessly at Nuo Ai’er sitting obediently in the corner, her eyes carrying habitual vigilance.
According to the script from the previous cycle, Nuo Ai’er should have attacked and failed next.
But this time, Nuo Ai’er completely changed her attitude.
‘I’m a good loli.’
She didn’t get up and pounce. She just looked quietly at Tina, her gaze soft and obedient, without any hostility.
Tina was slightly stunned, a strange doubt rising in her heart.
‘What is this little prisoner up to?’
“Eat.”
Tina still used her plain tone, placed the meal on the ground, and didn’t leave immediately.
Just then, Nuo Ai’er spoke softly, her voice sweet:
“Thank you.”
“…Thank who?”
Now Tina was completely confused.
She frowned slightly, her tone full of puzzlement: “Why are you thanking me? We’re enemies.”
Nuo Ai’er obediently picked up the food and nibbled on it, speaking seriously as she ate:
“Because you haven’t been whipping me like Stella, and you bring me food on time.”
“Even if you’re an opponent, I know you can’t be that bad.”
“…What are you talking about.” Tina stood there in silence, the suspicion in her eyes not diminishing at all, but growing even heavier.
‘It’s too strange.’
‘The person she had been torturing just a moment ago had suddenly become docile and grateful?’
‘There must be a reason for such abnormal behavior.’
Therefore, Tina didn’t leave the cell. She stood quietly at the door, her gaze fixed on Nuo Ai’er without moving, planning to see what bad idea this suddenly quiet loli was plotting.
Nuo Ai’er ate openly, finishing everything cleanly, behaving obediently and sensibly, showing no flaw at all.
After finishing the last bite, she casually started a topic, her tone light and harmless, as if just chatting:
“Come to think of it… Tina, you seem a little afraid of Stella?”
At these words, Tina’s pupils contracted.
“What are you talking about? How could I be afraid of Big Sister?”
“Well…”
Nuo Ai’er was secretly delighted, but her surface remained calm and composed. She slowly brought out the words she had prepared beforehand:
“Because she’s the Guild Master of your guild, right?”
“How do you know?” Tina couldn’t help but open her mouth.
“I can tell from the way you interact. It feels like… you have to obey her orders.”
‘Hehe, saying it this way should be reasonable, meow.’
Nuo Ai’er mentally gave herself a thumbs up. She would soon be able to slowly pry open Tina’s mouth and get more inside information about the Falcon Guild.
But she never expected—
After a few seconds of silence, all the doubt in Tina’s eyes instantly turned into sharp coldness.
Then, Tina moved her feet quietly, silently circling behind Nuo Ai’er, her movements so light they made no sound.
Before Nuo Ai’er could react, a pair of slender but terrifyingly strong arms suddenly shot out and wrapped tightly around Nuo Ai’er’s stomach!
Nuo Ai’er: “Ehh”
The next second, the arms tightened!
“Mm ah?!”
A strong squeezing sensation came from her stomach, forcing Nuo Ai’er to bend over.
“Oh ho”
Nuo Ai’er panicked instantly, her hands frantically pulling at Tina’s arms wrapped around her stomach.
But Tina’s strength was something she couldn’t break free from!
“What, what are you doing! Let me go!”
Nuo Ai’er’s eyes immediately reddened, and she shouted in grievance and panic.
‘What’s going on? In the previous cycle, I strangled Tina. Why is it reversed this cycle…’
Tina, while squeezing Nuo Ai’er’s stomach, leaned close to her ear and said in a cold, icy voice:
“Because you’re too dangerous.”
Nuo Ai’er: “What do you mean… mm ah…”
Tina: “An ordinary loli would just be scared after being treated like this by me… But you’re different.”
“You’re too good at reading people and guessing their thoughts. If I let you keep talking, all the secrets hidden in my heart would be gradually uncovered by you.”
Her tone carried a trace of fear:
“And, just now I participated in the torture, and I healed you only to whip and torment you in a cycle. I only had ill intent toward you, yet you suddenly became friendly toward me… That’s not right.”
Tina: “Your goal is to sow discord between me and Big Sister Stella, find a loophole, and escape, right?”
Nuo Ai’er: “I, uh…”
Tina: “A loli with such deep schemes cannot be kept.”
With those words, Tina increased the strength of her arms again, and the crushing pain in the girl’s abdomen instantly doubled.
“Aaaaah no… my stomach hurts”
Nuo Ai’er trembled all over from the pain, her small pink tongue even sticking out slightly from the pressure.
‘I messed up!’
‘This time I completely messed up.’
‘I thought I had Tina’s weakness and planned to use gentle persuasion to slowly trick her, but the other party was very meticulous!’
Now Nuo Ai’er was judged as a high-risk scheming loli, and she was going to restart again.
Pain and suffocation hit her simultaneously. Nuo Ai’er felt her vision slowly darken. The bad ending was already in sight.
Just when Nuo Ai’er was ready to accept the retrospect and wait for the load save—
Boom!!
The old wooden door of the cabin was violently kicked open from outside.
A pitch-black, tall puppet figure slowly appeared at the entrance.
Before the two lolis inside could react, the black puppet figure flashed and instantly rushed into the cell.
“Who?!” Tina didn’t have time to react before the blade was at her neck.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two crisp, decisive slashes of light flashed!
No hesitation at all.
Tina, who was still strangling Nuo Ai’er, and Nuo Ai’er, who was on the verge of suffocation—both lolis were hit at the same time.
The two lolis fell to the ground, unconscious.
[Detected Player Death.]
[Innate Talent: Time Rewind triggered!]
[Rewinding…]
“Stay put for me.” Stella’s voice came from outside the door.
Nuo Ai’er was dumbfounded…
It seemed she wasn’t strangled to death just now. Something had come in.
And it wasn’t just her; Tina had been slashed to death too.
‘What does that mean? Isn’t the Falcon Guild the only enemy?’
‘Is there a second stage?!’
