"Is big brother scared?" Helena looked at Luo Wei's pale face and chuckled reassuringly.
"Didn't I tell you before? As long as you drink the potion and sleep quietly, everything will be over!"
She gently caressed Luo Wei's cheek, "It won't hurt at all. Don't be afraid, big brother. It'll be over soon~"
Luo Wei stared at her speechlessly. He wasn't afraid of pain; he was afraid of waking up as a human stump!
"Such a big deal... not being able to use hands and feet for the rest of my life, how can I not be afraid..."
"Do you think I'm like you? Able to regrow tentacles after they're cut off?"
Helena looked confused, "But... isn't this good?"
She seemed to fall into a reverie, "If big brother can't move around anymore, he won't be able to flirt with other girls. And even if big brother is handsome, if he becomes like that, surely no girl will like him anymore."
The more Helena thought about it, the happier and more excited she became, even growing somewhat impatient.
"Wait, wait a minute! Put down the knife first!!!"
Luo Wei looked at her speechlessly, almost forgetting that the crazy girl in front of him couldn't be understood with normal logic.
Why was he trying to reason with a lunatic?
Realizing this, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly, giving Helena a big eye roll.
"Just consider it pre-surgery anxiety, okay..."
"Chat with me for a while, and we'll deal with your stupid surgery later! Then you can do whatever you want with my body."
This request didn't seem excessive to Helena. She nodded with a smile and put the potion and surgical tools back on the table.
"Big brother is so funny. Helena likes chatting with big brother~"
She brought over a small chair and sat down obediently opposite Luo Wei.
"What does big brother want to chat about?"
"Oh, and... what did you mean earlier by pre-surgery anxiety?"
Luo Wei glanced at her, "It's in the realm of psychology. Don't bother, your backward era certainly doesn't have it yet."
"Psychology? What's that?" Helena's eyes widened with curiosity.
"Psychology..."
Since he had already decided to stall for time, Luo Wei prepared to launch into a verbose explanation to chat with her for a while.
"Psychology is a discipline that studies human psychological phenomena and their impact on behavioral activities, involving cognition, emotions, thinking, personality, behavioral habits, and so on... It's a great study of the human soul."
"Ah..."
Hearing Luo Wei's long-winded and seemingly authoritative explanation, Helena stared at him blankly. "Big brother knows so much..."
"Of course."
Helena immediately asked curiously: "Since it's the study of the human soul, what can you see in my soul, big brother?"
Luo Wei stared intently at her.
After being stared at for a while, Helena shifted uncomfortably.
"Well? Big brother? Did you see anything?"
"I did," Luo Wei nodded.
Helena blinked, looking at him with a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
"Sensitive, insecure, bipolar disorder with alternating manic and depressive episodes, borderline personality disorder. Upon assessment, long-term psychiatric treatment is recommended."
"Huh?" Helena asked nervously, "Big brother, am I really that bad?"
Luo Wei looked at her and nodded.
Although he was half making it up, he knew that Helena's current condition wasn't entirely due to the corruption of supernatural powers.
Every madman has a different kind of madness, a different form of expression.
Helena's "symptoms" were more due to her upbringing, rooted in her terrible childhood.
So when Luo Wei appeared in her life like a light in the darkness, Helena clung to him pathologically, as if she had been saved.
Of course... later events also had a little to do with him.
Because of her insecurity, when those "superior" women appeared around him, Helena felt threatened.
Anxiety, insecurity, and finally stimulation turned her into her current state...
However, Luo Wei didn't know all this at first. He just wanted to clear the game...
If he hadn't been killed so many times in a row, he might never have delved so deeply into Helena's inner world, thinking about so many aspects like a psychologist.
When he voiced his thoughts aloud,
Helena froze in place and began to mutter incessantly.
"Helena is sick... Is Helena really sick..."
Luo Wei nodded silently. Yes, you are indeed very sick.
"But... but... if I don't do this..."
"I..."
"Big brother will be taken away... No, I must do this..."
"No... I'm sick, big brother says I'm sick... What I'm doing is wrong..."
She hugged her head, her whole body starting to tremble, her expression alternating between excitement and pain.
Luo Wei watched her, knowing this was a state of self-doubt.
Time slowly ticked by.
There were still more than ten minutes left on the skill cooldown.
He could barely stall any longer...
In the dim basement, Helena kept muttering to herself as if possessed, her expression becoming increasingly distorted.
"No!"
"No! No!!"
She suddenly looked at Luo Wei's calm expression, her eyes bloodshot.
"You're lying to me! You're lying to me again! Big brother doesn't really want to stay with Helena! You're saying this on purpose!!"
Well, all that talk was for nothing. Luo Wei knew this trick wouldn't work on her.
Helena excitedly stood up, quickly walked to the long table, and firmly grasped the jagged amputation saw.
"The night is long... The night is long... We can't go on like this, we must act quickly!"
Helena walked towards Luo Wei step by step, the saw blade gleaming coldly.
"Helena, listen to me..."
"I won't listen! Don't say anything more! I won't listen!!"
Looking at Helena, whose entire body was trembling and about to go berserk,
Luo Wei's heart pounded violently.
He was almost out of options, only able to watch helplessly as the potion was brought to his lips.
He kept his mouth tightly shut, not loosening at all.
Helena anxiously gripped his mouth, trying to force the anesthetic in.
"Drink it! Drink it quickly!!"
Her aggression grew stronger, her hands making Luo Wei's jaw red and swollen.
Luo Wei still wouldn't open his mouth.
Finally, Helena smashed the potion heavily on the ground.
"Fine! Since you won't drink it, don't blame me!"
"You'll regret this!!"
She immediately raised the cold, gleaming knife, ready to use it on Luo Wei directly.
But just then,
The firelight in the dim room suddenly flickered erratically.
A strange crackling sound echoed from a corner of the basement.
What was that noise?
Luo Wei and Helena both raised their heads, looking into the darkness.
After searching for a moment in the firelight, they were surprised to find that the eerie sound was coming from the location of Teacher Evelyn's corpse.
Luo Wei's eyes widened in shock as Teacher Evelyn's corpse began to shake violently.
But what happened next was even more bizarre.
With a series of strange noises from the corpse, its entire body...
Suddenly sat up bolt upright.
Holy crap!
Is it coming back to life!?

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
