Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Chapter 142 - 142:Conditions [4]

Staying silent for a moment, I continued checking the remaining leaves on the branch I was on before turning around.

Looking downwards at the four girls, I contemplated my options.

Considering that this a new situation, as I had no idea what to do with this damn tree, their perspective and insight would be useful.

Lily was already suspicious of me due to my behavior thus far, so would it even hurt me if I made her more suspicious?

On the other hand, I could simply take the easy way out and spout some nonsense, as they would soon realize what I had when Liam, Kevin, and Zach returned.

But then, unlike me with my crow, they would have to wait an hour every time they tested something.

They would need to send the three boys out to confirm whether the loop ended and then wait for their response.

The only reason I had allowed the three boys in the first place was because I wanted to confirm my suspicions about the tree in a less crowded environment.

But now my suspicions were confirmed, as I learned that despite this tree being the end condition, it had not yet terminated the loop.

...I had run out of excuses.

If I don't tell the main cast about the scenario now... every second from now on will be considered wasted in my head.

I wasn't all-knowing or the smartest person in the world; Lily or others could have opinions or insights that could unearth the problem behind this tree and its end condition.

However, what was stopping them was that they didn't have the same amount of resources as me.

Thirty seconds had passed since Lily had spoken her words about me... that was one more time that those children had been tormented by this loop and forced to collect buckets of water.

Reaching the top of the tree and where the last few branches and leaves stood, I examined them before swapping bodies with my crow.

The same result; my crow ended back up at the carriage.

The same flipped carriage is placed in the same area, next to the same waterfall, and beside the same village.

Nothing had changed.

Turning my head upwards to the sky, I broke the silence by simply shrugging my shoulders and replying.

"Thirty minutes from now, your other group will come back to you guys with the story that the loop is still alive. Then you'll test something; then the exact same scenario will occur... over and over again."

Still looking at the tree in front of me, I didn't bother to see their reactions but simply halted my

You might say that I had already wasted plenty of time relaxing and training, but I don't consider those moments wasteful.

And that's all that matters to me.

Stopping her search of the tree, Lily simply gazed at me, presumably trying to see if I was lying or not, before turning to the other three girls.

"If what he says is true...then we might be stuck here for months... or even years... or forever."
