After Luo Wei said "Containment," the entire old mansion seemed to transform into the kind of eerie, haunting house you'd find in a horror movie. All the doors and windows began slamming open and shut, and a chilling draft passed through the hall...
It was a power that sent shivers down one's spine, which was why all those who had been contained at the mansion always felt a lingering dread.
At the same time, Tilis's magic finally erupted, bringing with it an overwhelming killing intent directed at Luo Wei. Fortunately, Luo Wei's "Containment" activated just before she lost control.
Luo Wei watched as the witch who had almost endangered him was suddenly whisked away by an invisible force deep into the mansion. With a loud thud, Tilis was locked inside a room on the second floor of the mansion.
This was "Forced Containment." Once the containment criteria were met, no resistance from the contained object would matter.
Luo Wei waited quietly in the living room.
A notification popped up.
【Containment Success!】
Luo Wei finally let out a sigh of relief, then glanced toward the living room window. Outside, chaotic lines appeared, and the Hounds had tracked him down from afar, lurking outside the mansion and coldly observing him.
However, after sensing the terrifying aura from earlier, the Hounds hesitated once more. This time, Luo Wei felt it was even more effective than Naya's previous warning.
Though he couldn't see their forms clearly, Luo Wei could sense a mix of anxiety and fear emanating from them.
Eventually, the Hounds scattered and left.
"Guess they're gone..."
Luo Wei stopped worrying about the Hounds; perhaps he wouldn't have to deal with them again.
He slowly ascended the stairs to the second floor.
【Anomaly-004】
【Tilis (Human Mutant / Currently a Spirit Form)】
【004 will be assigned to Room 201 on the second floor. You can reduce the containment object's pollution level and lower its threat through mandatory incarceration.】
【The Head of the Containment Facility is responsible for overseeing the containment object and accountable for its actions.】
【Upon successful containment, the Head of the Facility gains the contained object's basic talents.】
【Acquired: Basic magical attributes, magical talent, magical energy storage organ】
【Character panel updated, added Magic Power attribute】
Just like in his previous loop, Luo Wei regained the ability to use magic.
When everything settled, Luo Wei knocked on Room 201's door.
After patiently waiting, the door slowly opened, revealing a tired and sleepy Tilis.
【Tilis】
【Affection: 100】
【Pollution Level: 25↓】
After a brief moment of eye contact, Tilis let out a soft sigh and invited Luo Wei into her room with a smile.
"After all that, I still ended up here..."
Her expression was a mix of emotions.
"But this time, I got a new room upstairs..."
"My house is pretty big, and there are lots of rooms," Luo Wei chuckled. "If you don't like this one, you can pick any room you like."
"No, it's fine," Tilis waved her hand dismissively. She stepped onto the balcony, which offered a wide view of the surroundings.
"The view here is nice, and there aren't many people around. It's a peaceful place to study magic."
Luo Wei joined her in silently admiring the scenery.
After moving factories from the western district, the environment had improved, making the riverside road outside the window quite picturesque.
Looking at the scenery, Luo Wei reflected on how everything that had happened in the oceanside town seemed to truly be over...
Tilis felt the same nostalgia.
"Coming back here made me think of the memories we shared when we first met..."
A gentle breeze caressed her black hair, and her purple eyes sparkled slightly.
"Luo Wei, you saved me again."
Luo Wei nodded quietly, recalling the past.
Back then, a young Tilis was being hunted by a high-ranking Church official due to an internal conflict within the Magic Hermitage. Betrayed by her peers, Tilis had exhausted all her strength and was on the verge of a magical breakdown when Luo Wei took her in.
This containment felt similar to that time in the past, and Luo Wei smiled. "Guess it's fate."
Tilis's expression softened. "Yes, no matter what happens, we're destined to be together. I like this kind of fate."
Luo Wei felt his shoulder grow heavier, and turned to see the witch leaning against him lazily, using him as a pillow.
"I'm so tired... I really don't want to go back..."
She yawned, her tone like that of a languid cat.
"After going back, I'll have to deal with everything in the Hermit's Circle, and after this battle, the Empire and the Church certainly won't let us off easily..."
"Hold on..." Luo Wei shook his head and chuckled. "Are those people from the Hermit's Circle idiots? Can't they manage without you? Why not take a break?"
Luo Wei quickly made the decision for her. "Even if the sky falls today, our vice-leader is taking a break!"
Tilis giggled. "Sounds like a good plan."
When everything settled, a heavy weight seemed to lift from her heart.
"How about... we go on a date?"
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
Having finally returned to the real Saint Callen, she really wanted to recreate that romantic date from her dream.
The hopeful witch immediately grabbed Luo Wei's hand. "Let's go! Is that knife-thrower magician still around? We should watch him perform the head-cutting trick!"
"Uh... let's skip that," Luo Wei gave her a helpless look, knowing that the magician really only had a head.
"Alright, then you decide," Tilis lazily nestled into Luo Wei's arms, not bothering to think further.
As long as she was with Luo Wei, it didn't matter where they went.
The atmosphere grew peaceful and warm again... until
Luo Wei's ring lit up—
"Luo Wei!!!"
Ophelia's voice, filled with murderous intent, echoed in his ears.
Luo Wei shuddered and saw Ophelia's semi-transparent figure appear before them, glaring at the two of them with resentment.
"Where have you two been??"
"Huh? You're back home?"
"How come you didn't take me with you! I'm so mad!!!"
Luo Wei hurriedly explained, "Tilis's magic was running low, so we only had enough power to bring her..."
"No way! You've been deceived!"
Ophelia immediately interrupted Luo Wei's excuse.
"That sly witch was definitely lying! Didn't you see all the magical items she used earlier? I was feeling apologetic toward her just now—what a joke!"
Luo Wei's gaze shifted to Tilis, who completely ignored Ophelia, her expression calm.
But the sly, mischievous smirk tugging at her lips revealed her true thoughts.
"Wait, what...?"
After venting, Ophelia suddenly noticed something that made her uncomfortable.
"Why are you two standing so close? Are you... hugging? What are you doing?!"

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
