Forever... Together.

"Why are you looking at me like that, brother?"

Helena stared intently at him, "It's exactly the same as how they used to look at me..."

Although Luo Wei didn't speak, she still found that kind of gaze particularly piercing.

"Am I a monster? Is that it? You think I'm a monster too?"

Helena let out a cold, sinister laugh as her body began to shake violently.

"Hehehe, I knew it, I knew it..."

"You never saw me as a sister, you've always seen me as a monster!!"

"You'd even get angry at me for the sake of some woman!"

Her arms began to writhe and twist, then suddenly, like scattered flower petals, they burst into many flailing tentacles.

Those tentacles were slimy and moist, as disgusting as snakes.

Luo Wei instantly felt a powerful mental shock.

Distortion, fear, heart palpitations...

His whole body was unable to move.

[You have received a strong mental shock]

[Performing a sanity check...]

Luo Wei clenched his fists tightly, using all his strength to resist the contaminating impact.

Since returning to the old mansion again, he had prepared himself to face Helena directly.

[Sanity check successful]

[Sanity -0]

Perhaps due to Luo Wei's strong survival instinct and willpower, his luck was good this time.

As soon as his body regained freedom, he immediately reached for the glass vial in his pocket.

Helena seemed surprised that Luo Wei could still move.

But soon, she let out a cold laugh, and six flailing tentacles all neatly stabbed towards Luo Wei's direction.

Meanwhile, Luo Wei had already thrown his potion.

There was a crisp sound.

The glass vial smashed hard against Helena's face, shards scattering everywhere, and the pungent smell of the medicine spread quickly.

The tentacles stopped a few centimeters in front of Luo Wei's face, then retracted as if they had been stung.

Helena's entire body began to tremble even more violently.

She covered her cheek and let out a monstrous roar.

"Ahhhhhhh—"

The angry, shrill sound filled the entire old mansion.

Seeing Helena in this state, Luo Wei felt relieved, but of course, he didn't forget to check Helena's current status.

His trump card wasn't actually the potion, nor was it his maxed-out charm, but rather the authority of "containment".

Or you could say it was this mansion.

As long as the data reached the containment standard, containment would be successful.

No matter what you were, even if you were some horrifying anomaly, you would all be locked up in the guest room with no escape.

However, this time...

Luo Wei was a bit too happy too soon.

[Helena]

[Hybrid Species]

[Affection: 100]

[Contamination: 65↓]

[Danger Level: Four Stars (High Risk!)]

[Description: A twisted being who hates you out of love]

Who knows what she had been through these four years, her tolerance far exceeded that of the first week, and her contamination level was still above 50.

Helena had become even crazier!

Accompanied by shrill screams, the scattered tentacles began to attack wildly without discrimination, and the dining room was filled with continuous shattering sounds.

The moment the dining table split, Luo Wei immediately grabbed a dinner knife for self-defense.

Then, he kept retreating.

He glanced back at the mansion that Helena had modified to resemble a prison, quickly calculating in his mind.

With nowhere to retreat, there was only one option left.

Forced containment.

Even if the chances were slim, he had to try!

Luo Wei immediately opened the interface, not caring about Helena's current state, and directly pressed the 'containment' option.

[Containment in progress...]

The huge mansion emitted a faint rumbling sound. Helena realized something, and her terrifying eyes, already bloodshot, glared hatefully at Luo Wei.

"Don't even think about it!"

Two tentacles extended rapidly, flying towards him like arrows.

Blood splattered, and Luo Wei cried out in pain, collapsing powerlessly to the ground.

These two tentacles had pierced through his leg bones in an instant, rendering him immobile.

Helena's tentacles churned inside Luo Wei's flesh. As Luo Wei screamed in agony, her body levitated slightly, using the tentacles as pivot points to descend in front of him.

[Containment check failed]

[Not contained]

It seemed his luck wasn't good. Luo Wei sat slumped on the ground, too weak to even maintain feelings of anger. He silently watched Helena towering over him.

That face, once angelic, was now covered in blood from the glass shards. Combined with her twisted and gloomy expression, and the background of flailing tentacles...

She looked like a demon straight out of hell.

"Almost..."

She looked down at Luo Wei, smiling rather than angry.

"You almost succeeded."

"My dear brother..."

"As expected of you..."

Slimy tentacles slithered over Luo Wei's skin. His body was lifted up, forced to be at eye level with Helena.

The movement pulled at his wounds, causing Luo Wei to groan from the tearing pain.

Blood and sweat kept dripping.

"I almost fell for my brother's trick. So, all those promises you made to me before were lies."

Helena admired Luo Wei's pained expression.

"Brother never really wanted to stay with Helena."

"Brother doesn't actually like Helena. Brother thinks Helena is a monster..."

Helena giggled.

"Brother is good in every way - looks, temperament, family background, and that never-wavering courage..."

"Just one flaw."

The pressure from the tentacles gradually increased, making the smell of blood even more pungent.

Luo Wei, having lost too much blood, began to feel his thoughts growing hazy.

"Brother is just too good at lying!"

"I bet all girls would willingly let themselves be deceived by you!"

"Brother is such a scumbag!"

Helena drew closer to Luo Wei's body, lovingly embracing him, her tone becoming increasingly soft.

"Even if it was all fake, Helena is very happy... Today was really enjoyable..."

"Although brother is crippled now, Helena will take good care of you..."

"Now that you're like this, you won't be able to leave my side anymore. How wonderful~"

"Let's just stay like this... Brother, let's never leave this home again..."

"We'll be together forever..."

Helena didn't finish her sentence.

There was a sound of flesh being pierced.

Helena let out a muffled groan, her hands releasing Luo Wei's body.

Then, she looked down in disbelief.

The dinner knife had been thrust into her chest by Luo Wei, precisely piercing her heart.

"Brother... you..."

Luo Wei, at point-blank range, struggled to curl his lips into a mocking smile.

"A life for a life. We're even now."

An overwhelming surge of violent energy instantly erupted.

All the tentacles began to thrash uncontrollably, transforming into the sharpest blades.

Luo Wei, pierced again by the tentacles, fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood.

All the scenes before his eyes gradually blurred as his life rapidly ebbed away.

But a faint thread of consciousness still remained.

He saw Helena, clutching her chest, approach him with a sorrowful expression.

"So... is this brother's answer?"

She laughed self-mockingly, "Yes... someone like brother was never meant to belong to me from the start, was he..."

"I am a monster..."

"Monster, monster, monster, monster, monster, monster..."

Helena kept repeating these words maniacally, her face alternating between guilt and self-loathing, and burning hatred.

"Ahhhhhhh—!"

She clutched her head, as if unwilling to recall those memories.

After a long while, she finally stabilized.

Helena looked again at Luo Wei on the ground. His body was motionless, as if dead.

She curled up, seeking a comfortable position, and leaned against Luo Wei's side.

This posture finally gave her some sense of security, as if returning to her mother's embrace.

Although she couldn't even remember what her mother looked like anymore.

"Brother, we're about to be together forever now~"

She smiled happily as she pulled the dinner knife out of her chest.

She made no attempt to stop the bleeding, letting the blood fountain gush out freely.

Her complexion gradually turned pale.

In the dim, ambiguous candlelight, the two figures nestled together in the pool of blood seemed to become eternal...

Luo Wei closed his eyes with a smile.
