A Fated Rivalry

"I'm so cold... why... why did you bury me alone there?"
In her parents' eyes then, there was the clearest, most genuine fear of death, and regret from the bottom of their hearts, even though they had never thought they did anything wrong; it was only because they were about to die that they became afraid.
But Lolita didn't care.
Cheng Li was the type of player Lolita hated most, and also the type no one in the group liked.
He had never participated in any group activities, always acting alone. No one knew where he went, what he did, or what information he gathered. He didn't communicate with anyone. Gradually, everyone regarded him as a lost sheep who could die at any moment, and no one bothered with his actions; even Lolita almost forgot about him.
When the group leader assigned tasks, he just silently stood up, preparing to leave the group. Even when questioned and doubted, he left without hesitation.
Everyone thought he would be the next to die, and Lolita thought so too.
The two monster parents inherited weaknesses from her real parents: weakness itself. They only wanted to pick the easiest players to deal with, avoiding strong ones from the start. They had clearly died once, yet they were still so afraid of death.
Therefore, under Lolita's guidance, they decided to attack the lost sheep, Cheng Li.
That night, the two monster parents indeed appeared in Cheng Li's bedroom.
At this moment, Lolita was in the leading player's room. She sat with her legs crossed, swinging on a chair, and hearing the sound of the monster's axe approaching Cheng Li's room from outside, she smiled contentedly. Then she snuggled into the player's arms, softly saying, "Lolita can do anything for you~. Just please, don't abandon me like my parents did."
...Just kidding.
Lolita's smile instantly turned malicious, a wicked sneer on her lips.
The leading player seemed enchanted, his eyes gradually becoming hazy. He was about to open his mouth to express pity and affection for the "poor little girl" Lolita, and had just uttered "Lolita"...
*Bang!* The door was kicked open.
The one who kicked the door was Cheng Li.
He didn't come alone.
Cheng Li dragged Lolita's "family" with him, carrying a man in his left hand and a man in a maid outfit in his right... Well, because in the previous instance, a female player, thanks to her extremely sharp intuition, didn't believe Lolita's words and led her teammates to escape together.
