"I curse every scumbag to suffer endlessly! May they die a miserable death!"
Waking up in the classroom once again, Luo Wei was already numb.
He clutched his chest, looking around with a blank expression.
The dumped girl was still crying, surrounding classmates were indignant, and the female deskmate would steal glances at him from time to time...
A scene so familiar it couldn't be more familiar.
It felt as homey as returning to one's house.
[Returned to save point: Callen University Magic Engineering Class A]
[Remaining saves: 2/5]
Only two lives left...
Luo Wei slumped in his chair, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even trying different approaches...
The end result was still the same.
And each death was more miserable than the last.
Of course, although he was almost numb from dying so much, he wouldn't give up.
After all, it was his own life, and Luo Wei cherished it more than anyone.
The previous save, although he still didn't see the sun of the next day, was at least successful in one aspect.
[Helena]
[Race: Mixed Hybrid (95% Human; 5% Shoggoth)]
[Attributes: Strength: 83, Constitution: 54, Agility: 82, Charm: 76, Inspiration: Unknown, Sanity: Unknown]
[Talents: Mimicry, Regeneration, Psychic Attack, Tentacle Attack]
Bit by bit of trial and error, Luo Wei had finally erased the disadvantage in intelligence.
He finally wouldn't die from that damned four-year information gap, all this intel was bought with his life.
He just hadn't expected that Helena, after her transformation, would have abilities like mimicry or shapeshifting.
After all, in Saint Callen for so many years, she was the only Shoggoth, an extinct species...
This way, as long as she wanted, she could probably disguise herself as anyone, lurking by Luo Wei's side without him knowing.
It was truly terrifying...
Even knowing she hadn't found the classroom at this moment, Luo Wei still felt paranoid.
He felt that anyone around him could be Helena in disguise...
"Luo Wei... what's wrong with you?" his female deskmate looked at him strangely as he glanced around.
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing..." Luo Wei's gaze shifted to his side.
Apart from this, there was an unexpected gain.
His female deskmate's head was still intact on her neck, not killed by Helena.
This at least proved that the story's ending could be changed.
Thinking of this, Luo Wei felt somewhat relieved.
To survive, he still needed a little patience, and...
A little bit of luck.
Because Luo Wei was staring straight at her, the female deskmate touched her face awkwardly.
"Is... is there something on my face?"
"No, you're fine." Having figured things out, Luo Wei flashed a genuine smile.
"Don't try to chat me up later, for your own safety."
The charm-filled smile made the female deskmate a bit dazed, she lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushing red.
Then, she finally registered Luo Wei's strange words.
"Huh?" The female deskmate blinked in confusion, what did he mean?
But Luo Wei had already withdrawn his smile, no longer speaking or paying attention to her.
He sat upright in his chair, quietly waiting.
"Luo Wei, your girlfriend is here to see you!"
Along with everyone's gaze, Luo Wei once again looked towards the beautiful girl standing at the door.
It had begun again.
"Ex-excuse me..."
"Is my brother here?"
Luo Wei smiled gently, waving his hand, "Helena, I'm here."
"Brother! I've finally found you!" Helena lifted her white dress, excitedly running towards Luo Wei.
Luo Wei's smile was flawless as he opened his arms to Helena.
In the sunlight, the beautiful young man and woman embraced tightly, the sunset coating them in a layer of golden light.
A warm and beautiful scene.
Classmates let out envious or jealous whispers.
Yet they had no idea what murderous intent lay hidden beneath this image.
"Brother... let's go home quickly, Helena has been waiting for you for so long..."
In Luo Wei's arms, Helena looked up somewhat shyly.
Luo Wei nodded lightly, "Alright."
Even though his mind was full of calculations, Luo Wei's smile didn't show a single flaw. After all, the price of this performance was his life.
A moment later, a male classmate called out to him.
"Luo Wei! The teacher is looking for you! She wants you to go to her office after class!"
Luo Wei suddenly frowned.
If we exclude Helena's factor, what would he normally do?
He'd probably go to the office, right?
In that instant, a strange thought flashed through his mind.
He stopped on the way, turning to ask that male classmate.
"Where is the teacher's office?"
The male classmate was actually the class monitor of Class A. Hearing Luo Wei's question, he pointed to a direction in the corridor.
"Go straight ahead and turn left, after you see the principal's statue turn right, the third room is Professor Evelyn's office."
"Thanks!" Luo Wei nodded immediately.
"Brother? Aren't we going home anymore..." Helena looked at Luo Wei cautiously.
"I need to take care of some urgent business, you wait for me here, I'll be right back."
Luo Wei patted her shoulder, patiently instructing Helena.
"I see... alright then..."
Seeing Luo Wei's serious expression, Helena didn't say much more.
She obediently nodded, then stood in place, watching Luo Wei's retreating figure.
After Luo Wei turned the corner of the corridor, out of Helena's sight, he immediately quickened his pace.
He had a vague idea in his mind.
Perhaps he should involve himself and Helena in some sort of incident.
Although it might be dangerous, danger and opportunity coexist, at least it would be better than his death loop.
He still didn't know how much Helena was connected to [The Ghost of Callen University], but since it was a campus disappearance case, it would certainly attract the attention of the authorities. The bigger the fuss, the better.
More importantly, following the main storyline was the only way to get rewards.
Although thinking about that reward now might be a bit far-fetched...
Lost in his thoughts, Luo Wei finally arrived at the door of the third office.
'Evelyn, Academy Professor.'
The nameplate showed this title, with many small words underneath.
Basic Magic Theory, Magic Engineering Process, Advanced Lecturer in Divination and Mysticism, Departmental Professor, Acting Counselor for Magic Engineering Class A...
This teacher had many titles. Luo Wei quickly scanned them, forming an image in his mind of a middle-aged woman with wisdom in her eyes.
He took a deep breath and gently knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
Soon, the teacher's voice came from inside the office.
But to Luo Wei's surprise, this voice was very young.
