After Luo Wei said "containment" in his heart...
The entire old mansion underwent changes, with the ground rumbling and all doors and windows opening and closing. A cold wind swept through the entire hall.
At this moment, the place felt like a gloomy, isolated house being battered by a storm.
Even Helena, with her massive body, had her tentacles becoming anxious and restless.
She curled up, nervously gazing into the depths of the old mansion, as if some powerful entity was calling to her...
If it weren't for Luo Wei's hand gently stroking her, Helena would have likely fled quickly.
This was why she feared "containment" so much - not because she was afraid of being controlled by Luo Wei, but because she feared the power he now wielded.
It was a presence more terrifying than any Anomalous Species or superhuman expert she had ever encountered.
It was fear etched deep into her marrow...
At this moment, Luo Wei was unaware of Helena's thoughts.
He was just struggling to keep his eyes open, quietly waiting for the final result of the containment.
He couldn't fall asleep - if he did, all this effort would be wasted, and he really didn't want to do this again...
[Evelyn]
[Race: Vampire (Rank: Vampire Baron)]
[Affection: 53]
[Contamination: 42]
[Containment in progress...]
At this point, both the affection and contamination levels of the Vampire Evelyn had reached the containment standards.
Just then, in Luo Wei's hazy consciousness, he sensed—
A force seemed to be spreading from his body, and it was this power that had awakened the mansion's response.
Subsequently, black chains appeared on Evelyn's wrists, one after another, binding her firmly.
The scene before his eyes appeared only for an instant, like an illusion, and quickly dissipated.
But the strange marks slowly appearing on Evelyn's slender wrists proved that everything that had just happened wasn't imaginary.
Unfortunately, Luo Wei's current state didn't even allow him to take a closer look at what pattern those small marks formed.
An irresistible sense of dizziness enveloped his entire body.
His vision grew increasingly blurry.
[Containment Check Successful!]
[Anomalous Species-001]
[Evelyn Abraham (High Vampire)]
[Home of the Containment Facility has been activated, 001 will be assigned Room 101 on the first floor. You may reduce the containment subject's contamination level and threat through forced confinement measures]
[The Containment Facility Director bears supervisory responsibility for contained subjects and is accountable for their behavior. For maintaining world stability and returning it to normal operation, please continue your efforts]
Luo Wei looked at the rows of data on the panel, feeling his eyelids fighting each other, about to give in.
Damn it, stop saying so much, get to the point...
Finally.
The system prompt gave him what he wanted most, which was also the key reason in his plan to contain Evelyn first.
[Upon successful containment, the Facility Director can obtain the subject's basic talents]
[High Vampire]
[Physical Recovery (Rapid Healing), Blood Magic (Crimson Blade)]
When the system prompts before his eyes disappeared.
Luo Wei finally blacked out, losing all consciousness and fainting.
...
After Luo Wei closed his eyes, Helena's body began to show obvious signs of anxiety.
Although the disturbance from deep within the old mansion frightened her, Helena still forced herself to maintain composure, her black massive tentacles searching through the old mansion for something.
The old mansion echoed with various sounds of things breaking.
Helena couldn't see things, she could only search by feeling, and finally, her black tentacles carefully placed a medicine box and various medicine bottles in front of Luo Wei.
Brother is about to die! Must save him quickly!
Brother can't die!!
The massive black tentacles clumsily arranged the first-aid bandages, but because those items were too small, they accidentally knocked over several glass vials.
Helena was almost crying with anxiety.
Brother! She anxiously shook Luo Wei's body, Brother can't fall asleep, he'll really die!!
However, what happened next surprised Helena into stopping.
Her tentacles keenly sensed that all the horrific wounds, big and small, on Luo Wei's chest had stopped bleeding.
Moreover, they were healing at an incredible speed.
This is!?
Helena gently touched Luo Wei's cheek, and he made a barely audible murmur, as if responding to something in his dreams.
If Helena could see Luo Wei's current state, she would have been even more surprised.
Originally, due to excessive blood loss, Luo Wei's face had been completely pale.
However, in just this short time, his face had regained some color, becoming somewhat rosy.
Helena cradled Luo Wei, whose breathing was gradually stabilizing, and gently placed him on the soft carpet.
Even though she couldn't see Luo Wei's current appearance, she still silently watched over him for quite a while.
Only after truly confirming that Luo Wei's condition was stable did she finally relax.
Is it because of the successful containment... Brother, has he gained recovery abilities like a vampire?
It must be so...
Perhaps because the battle was over and her angry emotions had calmed, or perhaps because brother's current state reassured her...
Helena felt her massive body slowly shrinking.
Human vision, smell, hearing, all sorts of sensations were returning.
Her blurry gaze finally saw brother's current state, saw the old mansion that looked like it had been through an earthquake, the equally unconscious vampire, and...
Herself in that broken mirror.
Ugly, bloated, a horrifying appearance that inspired disgust...
Is this...
Is this me?
Helena couldn't believe it, she stood frozen before the mirror, eyes wide as she stared at her monstrous self.
In an instant, many unwanted memories flooded her mind.
'Monster!'
'It's a monster!!'
'Sister nun! Waaah... that monster is going to kill me!'
'You! Are truly! A monster!'
'And so ugly too, I hate ugly things the most...'
'To be so gentle with this disgusting, ugly monster!'
All of Helena's tentacles were painfully clutching her head, she didn't want to remember any of those things, but those endless cries of "monster" were like omnipresent ghosts, like devil's mockery, burrowing into her brain like maggots, impossible to shake off no matter how hard she tried...
Monster... I am such a monster...
This ugly me...
She looked at herself in the mirror with disgust, then gently glanced at the quietly sleeping Luo Wei.
How could someone like me stand beside such a good brother...
A feeling of sadness welled up spontaneously.
The main door was thrown open with force, and Helena disappeared into the night like she was fleeing.
Under the night sky, the old mansion once again fell silent.
ose... to cooperate with the protagonist! Shen Yuan: I have a system! Protagonist: What? System: Holy crap, you're just spilling it out like that?

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
