When he opened his eyes again, Luo Wei found himself back in that all-too-familiar office.
"If you discover any new leads, please make sure to notify me immediately."
Standing at the doorway, Captain Raymond said these words before leaving the office with Leon.
[
[Save Point: Magic Engineering Class A Advisor's Office]
[Available Loads Remaining: 3/5]
After they left, only Luo Wei and Evelyn remained in the office.
Luo Wei took a deep breath.
His heart was still racing from those few seconds of rapid descent moments ago, beating violently.
Each time he loaded back, there was a seamless transition from the moment of death to the save point, preserving all the lingering terror and pain from the previous moment.
Luo Wei rubbed his face, not wanting the person behind him to notice anything amiss.
Then, he slowly turned around with a smile.
Those dark green eyes were staring at him unblinkingly.
"Little Wei, are you really planning to help that police captain investigate the case?"
The same question again.
Luo Wei thought quickly for a second, then decisively shook his head.
"I'm not planning to help with the investigation anymore. I was just curious earlier, so I asked a few extra questions."
"You're not going to!?"
This answer was clearly unexpected for Evelyn.
She had just listened to Luo Wei seriously discussing things with that police captain for quite a while, and thought he was really going to get involved in this disappearance case...
She had even planned out a whole series of arrangements to use Luo Wei's curiosity about the case to lure him to that place...
But in the end, he just decided not to investigate just like that?
Evelyn's expression showed momentary bewilderment.
Seeing the strange look on her face, Luo Wei laughed internally.
Didn't expect that, did you? This time I'm not following your script!
I'm not playing your game anymore!
"Teacher, I just want to go home now..." Luo Wei sighed, holding his forehead as he sat down on the reception sofa.
Evelyn was quite the actress too. She quickly composed herself and walked over with apparent concern.
"Are you not feeling well again, Little Wei?"
"Mm, maybe because I didn't sleep well last night..."
Luo Wei completely avoided bringing up the campus disappearance case from earlier, and instead started talking about what happened "last night."
"Helena came to my house..."
"What?" Evelyn was surprised, "You saw that monster sister of yours yesterday? Did she hurt you?"
Luo Wei shook his head.
"No, she didn't, but the situation was very dangerous..."
As he spoke, he looked at Evelyn with a hint of worry.
"Teacher, Helena has been lurking around my house. She might be holding back because she hasn't recovered yet, but I'm worried that in the future..."
"Don't be afraid!" Evelyn laughed, "If your home isn't safe anymore, then come stay at teacher's place! "
She winked, "Teacher's home is very safe, you won't have to worry about your sister anymore~"
Luo Wei looked at her while internally cursing: Your home is safe my ass!
But on the surface, he showed concern, "That won't work... I can't have any involvement with any of you from school right now, or Helena will retaliate..."
Evelyn immediately gave a cold laugh, "You think I'm afraid of her? Let her come! Teacher will protect you!"
But Luo Wei looked at her seriously.
"Teacher, if you're not afraid, why don't you just stay at my place?"
Evelyn was taken aback, not expecting Luo Wei to make this request.
"Come on~ Teacher! I have something nice at my house~" Luo Wei said enticingly with narrowed eyes.
Complete reversal!
...
At six in the evening, near the old house in the West District.
Luo Wei stood at a high point, secretly observing the situation around the house with binoculars.
Every rustling of trees in the wind made him nervously guard against the possibility that Helena might be hiding anywhere.
"You don't need to be this careful..." Evelyn watched him helplessly, "We're just going home, why are you acting like a thief?"
"She must be nearby! Keep your voice down!" Luo Wei held up his finger, gesturing for silence.
He had worked so hard to lure Evelyn to his house, he couldn't let Helena discover them now.
Looking at the paranoid Luo Wei, Evelyn crossed her arms impatiently.
"You're acting like we're having an affair or something, what are you afraid of? If you keep this up, teacher is going home!"
"Please don't!" Luo Wei immediately showed a pitiful expression, "My dear teacher, my life depends entirely on you!"
Seeing Luo Wei pleadingly tugging at her wrist, Evelyn showed a helpless expression.
She sighed, "Since you're treating teacher as a bodyguard, you'll have to face her sooner or later, why are you so nervous..."
Luo Wei smiled gratefully, but what he was thinking was: All this effort isn't for dealing with her...
It's for dealing with you.
After two consecutive loads, he already knew Evelyn's true purpose. His vampire teacher seemed absolutely determined to have him.
If he didn't want to become her Vampire Servant, essentially a blood slave, he needed to resolve this trouble once and for all.
Getting outside help was clearly useless, so he had to rely on himself.
And Luo Wei's biggest trump card was still "containment."
Back at home, everything went smoothly, and Luo Wei who had been tiptoeing around finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Helena didn't notice him coming home, she wouldn't come secretly spying on him.
"You really are hopeless..." the clean-freak Evelyn wiped her clothes with a handkerchief, as they had gotten covered in leaves during their secret entry.
"Thank you for your trouble, teacher..." Luo Wei secretly brought Evelyn a glass of water.
It was cold.
Because he didn't dare to use the stove, wanting to maintain the appearance that no one was home...
Seeing him being so cautious, Evelyn burst out laughing.
Then she showed a teasing smile and quietly moved closer to Luo Wei.
"It's dark now, secretly inviting a young woman like teacher to your home at night, Little Wei, do you have other thoughts in mind?"
Luo Wei looked at her and nodded.
He actually did.
But Evelyn misunderstood his meaning, and she gently moved closer to Luo Wei's face.
"Could it be that Little Wei has feelings for teacher?"
Looking at Luo Wei who was curled up on the sofa, not daring to move.
Evelyn's eyes curved seductively as she moved even closer, becoming more daring.
Finally, her outstretched arms completely surrounded Luo Wei, pressing him down underneath her, so that when he looked up all he could see was her full, ample chest.
"No answer?"
"If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes~"
Feeling Luo Wei's increasingly heavy breathing and his direct stare.
Evelyn felt somewhat smug.
She knew that young men like him couldn't resist such teasing. She even thought that if she continued, she wouldn't need any schemes - she could easily seduce him and achieve her goal.
However, she didn't know that what Luo Wei was intently staring at right now wasn't her.
But rather the game panel that had appeared before his eyes.
[Evelyn]
[Race: Vampire (Rank: Vampire Baron)]
[Affection: 72]
[Corruption: 60]
[Danger Level: Three Stars (Dangerous!)]
He silently looked at the panel's indicators. A corruption level of 40-60 represented danger, and while it wasn't as ridiculously high as Helena's, the teacher was still a thorny existence.
Completely containing her wouldn't be an easy task either.
But fortunately, he had a trump card that could lower corruption by 20 points.
So now, it was his turn.
Looking at Evelyn who was so close, Luo Wei suddenly smiled, just like when he first met her in the office.
"Teacher."
His tone was sincere, his eyes also full of certain special emotions.
"I'm really grateful to you, teacher, for appearing at that time, saving me, and always taking care of me so kindly, so gently... Without you, I don't know what my days would have been like..."
He said with deep emotion: "I never properly said thank you to you... I don't even know how to repay you..."
Looking at the young man's smile before her, Evelyn's gaze showed a moment of bewilderment.
"Is teacher really as good as you say..."
Luo Wei smiled without hesitation and said:
"Teacher is the best!"
In that moment, looking at that seemingly magical smile, Evelyn felt an uncontrollable sensation throughout her body.
Her breathing became increasingly rapid, and a strange fire began to rise in her gaze.
"Then I'll repay you with my body!"
She suddenly pounced forward.
And bit Luo Wei's neck.
"Teacher!?"
Luo Wei looked at her in shock, "What are you doing?"
"Ah!"
Evelyn instantly came to her senses, seeing Luo Wei nervously covering his neck while looking at her with a startled expression.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, little Wei..."
Evelyn hurriedly stood up, awkwardly suppressing the emotions she had just felt.
In that moment earlier, she had suddenly lost control of her emotions, as if she had viewed the person before her as some incredibly delicious food...
Evelyn gazed at the innocent-looking Luo Wei with a hint of resentment. It was all his fault!
She had initially planned to seduce him, but instead...
Instead, she ended up being the one who got aroused...
That was close, so close... she had almost exposed her true identity...
"I'm sorry, I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back..."
Evelyn hastily stood up and walked toward the bathroom without looking back.
