Chapter 2 My Sister Wants to Kill Me
On the way home, Helena held Luo Wei's hand tightly.
But he didn't say anything, as if he was worried about something.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Helena looked up at Luo Wei and asked hesitantly:
"Brother...can I not go to school?"
"Helena hopes her brother can stay at home with me..."
Luo Wei looked at her with a smile, "Didn't my brother always stay at home with you before?"
Helena shook her head, and her smile became a little lonely.
"My brother is so popular at school... Helena, I'm worried..."
"I'm worried that my brother will be taken away..."
Luo Wei ruffled Helena's hair and said, "How could that be? Brother will always be your brother."
Helena dodged Luo Wei's big hand stubbornly, and her voice became lower and lower.
"That's not the case..."
"That's not the case..."
“That’s not the case!!”
She kept repeating these words, talking to herself, and her tone became sharp and strange.
Luo Wei looked at her with some worry. He had never seen Helena react like this before.
Even the strength in her hands became stronger and stronger, as if she was going to crush her hands.
Luo Wei began to feel a little scared.
"Helena wants to..."
"think……"
Luo Wei looked at her puzzledly, not knowing what she wanted to express.
But Helena lowered her head, so Luo Wei couldn't see her expression.
The atmosphere became extremely silent.
Luo Wei had a strange feeling. His "sister" seemed to be different.
She remained silent, and Luo Wei could only look at the retro-style street.
Because of the combination of steam and magic technology, the streets are full of magical and new things.
The game "Alien Asylum" has never been very popular, and no one talks about it on the forum. Luo Wei always feels that he is the only one playing this game.
However, the game's art style was particularly outstanding and very much to his liking, so he was very addicted to it for a long time and invested a lot of enthusiasm in it.
So when Luo Wei first realized that he had traveled into the game world, he was quite excited.
In the original world, he was alone and lived a monotonous and boring life.
In this world, the protagonist's identity is extremely mysterious. He has a girlfriend and a house. He is simply a winner in life.
He couldn't wait to start his adventure in the other world.
His identity as an "ordinary student" of St. Karen's College was a necessary disguise for him, so he didn't give a direct answer when Helena asked him just now.
Looking at Helena again, who was keeping her head down and silent, she seemed angry.
Just as Luo Wei wanted to continue comforting her, Helena suddenly raised her head.
She gave an angelic and gentle smile.
"It's Helena's fault. Helena didn't consider her brother's thoughts."
"Let's go home quickly!"
In the plot, Helena has always been the most gentle and considerate. Luo Wei felt relieved when he saw her smile.
The strange thought that had just appeared also disappeared.
"As long as you understand."
How could Helena, the most gentle and considerate, have other thoughts?
Luo Wei held her hand and the atmosphere became warm again.
The two chatted and laughed about what had happened in the past four years, walked through the streets, and came to their big house in a remote suburb.
This is a two-story Western-style house, which was the inheritance of the deceased "father" and later became the activity venue of the protagonist's shelter.
Of course, although they were called shelters, after the crisis was resolved, they all became like tenants, and the whole family lived happily in this big house .
So when he opened the door and looked at the deserted house, he asked with some doubt:
"Huh? Where are they? Where did they go?"
The room was empty and clean, indicating that Helena had been taking care of it, but it didn't seem very lively at all.
"they?"
Luo Wei heard a muffled clicking sound behind him.
Helena locked the door.
Luo Wei suddenly felt a chill in the air, a chill that penetrated his bones.
Just after he said the word "they"...
Luo Wei slowly turned his head, and then his smile gradually disappeared.
Because he saw that Helena no longer had the gentle smile she had outside. She had a gloomy face and was looking at him with an indescribable weird look.
"they?"
"they???"
Helena's face went from expressionless to ferocious and agitated.
"Four years! I 've been looking for you, brother, for four whole years!!"
"Only Helena is still trying to find you! They disappeared long ago!!"
"But you're still thinking about them? Isn't Helena enough?"
Luo Wei opened his mouth. Helena's reaction was so intense that he was caught off guard.
He subconsciously glanced at the door and found that Helena had added a chain to it at some point.
Just when I wasn't paying attention, she had locked the door tightly.
"Helena, you..."
"What’s wrong with you?"
Looking at Helena, who seemed to have completely changed, Luo Wei subconsciously took a half step back.
She was apparently fine just now, was she pretending the whole time?
Helena looked at Luo Wei who subconsciously retreated, and a weird smile appeared on her angelic face.
"Brother, why are you backing off?"
"Could it be, could it be that my brother is afraid of Helena?"
"Hahaha, I knew it, I knew it..."
"You've never treated me as a sister, you've always treated me as a monster!!"
"Wait, Helena!" Luo Wei saw that Helena was becoming increasingly abnormal, and hurriedly explained.
"That's not the case..."
But it was too late. As Helena's smile became more and more distorted, an indescribable feeling hit Luo Wei's mind.
He suddenly felt unable to move, his heart was filled with fear, and even his vision began to twist.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Helena’s body began to become distorted and strange.
The girl who was as innocent and gentle as an angel was gradually becoming someone that Luo Wei could not bear to look at directly.
You are under a strong mental shock.
[Making a Sanity Check…]
Sanity Check Failed
Sanity -5
"Helena, stop it!" Luo Wei gritted his teeth and shouted, "You're not normal now! You're releasing mental pollution!!"
"No! Brother!"
Helena approached Luo Wei step by step, "Helena knows what she is doing~"
She took out a sharp knife from somewhere and walked towards Luo Wei with an increasingly crazy smile.
"Helena..."
"Helena will never again..."
"I will never let my brother leave again!!"
"What... are you going to do!" Luo Wei gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling. The mental pollution made it almost impossible for him to speak.
The sharp, cold blade touched Luo Wei's skin, and he immediately felt a cold touch.
"Brother is not behaving well, there is nothing Helena can do~"
Helena was like a devil and a naughty child. She smiled, and the tip of the knife slid across Rowe's neck from time to time and then touched Rowe's chest.
"Only in this way can my brother stay with Helena forever..."
Looking at Luo Wei's excited expression, Helena laughed and said, "It's all because my brother is too philandering and too popular~"
"It would have been great if my brother had just promised me~"
"What a pity... Helena has no choice but to do this!"
Luo Wei felt the tip of the knife slowly piercing his chest. The sharp stinging sensation made him realize with horror...
Helena is serious!
She really wanted to kill herself!!
"Brother, is it painful?"
"It's okay..." She stroked Luo Wei's cheek with some heartache, as if to comfort him.
"It will be over soon..."
"Don't worry, Helena will be with you..."
"No one will ever take you away from me again... We will be together forever soon..."
The pain caused by the knife tip gradually sinking into his body made Luo Wei cry, and also made his mind suddenly clear.
At this moment, he finally broke free from the oppression of mental pollution.
He gathered all his strength, pushed Helena away, and knocked the sharp knife into the air.
When his mind became clear again, Luo Wei covered his chest and immediately wanted to use his authority as the "director of the shelter."
As long as they are "abnormal creatures" that you have taken in, you can control them and form a team to defeat the enemy.
And now the enemy is the containment itself!
However, what happened next made Luo Wei feel like he was falling into an ice cave.
Helena (Not Contained/Escaped)
[Race: Hybrid (Human 95%; Shoggoth 5%)]
[Favorability 100]
Pollution Degree: 75
Danger Level: Four Stars (High Risk!)
[Description: A twisted thing that is madly in love with you]
Perhaps it was because I had been away for four years, but Helena on the system panel was in the [Uncontained] status...
In "Alien Shelter", the target must have a [Favorability] of 50 or above and a [Pollution] of 50 or below in order to be successfully sheltered.
And I, who had just returned, had no abilities at all because I had no containment object, and no way to counter her.
It’s over…
Helena, who nearly fell, stood up again. She stared at Luo Wei in front of her, the smile on her lips still twisted.
"Brother...will you still choose to resist..."
"It seems that Helena's choice was indeed right."
"After all, a wonderful person like my brother never belonged to me from the beginning..."
But Luo Wei had no intention of paying any attention to her at this moment. He was observing the environment quickly.
The door had been locked by her and there was no way she could open it. No wonder she had always wanted her to go home. It turned out that this was a trap she had deliberately prepared.
Luo Wei immediately glanced at the window next to the living room.
The window was not far away and was probably the only escape route.
What we need to worry about most now is the extraordinary ability that Helena just displayed.
In the first round, Helena is the first character to be taken in. She has only one skill, [Mental Pollution], and she can escape by just escaping a certain range.
But if you are unfortunately attacked by [Mental Pollution], you will need to make a sanity test, and at this time it all depends on your luck.
Helena seemed to have caught Luo Wei's little thoughts. She laughed and said, "Don't think about it, brother. This is my territory. You can't escape~"
Luo Wei looked at her silently, thinking quickly in his mind.
Then he gave a helpless and gentle smile.
"Helena, actually..."
Based on past experience, if you have maxed out your [Charm], you can get a lot of things done with just a smile, but don't use it too much.
And then it happened as expected.
Helena looked at Luo Wei's smile, a little stunned.
"Actually what? Brother?"
"actually……"
Actually, bullshit! Luo Wei sneered in his heart and made a lightning-fast move.
Turn around and run.
The gloomy atmosphere behind him suddenly stagnated, and he ran towards the window without looking back.
step……
Two steps...
Three steps...
The windows are within easy reach.
Driven by the will to survive, Luo Wei climbed up to the balcony using his hands and feet at a very fast speed.
The sunset outside the window enveloped me.
Jump down and you will be saved!
However, this ray of hope only lasted for a second.
With a puff.
My chest suddenly felt cold.
His hands gradually became weak, and he heard the sound of a large amount of blood dripping onto the ground.
Is this... a new ability?
Luo Wei slowly lowered his head.
He saw that his chest was pierced by a sharp and slimy tentacle.
How could it be... so far?
The scarlet blood quickly spread on the white shirt and soon soaked Luo Wei's entire clothes.
With a dizzying spin, Luo Wei's body fell heavily on the cold ground.
Thinking also gradually became blurred.
At the last moment before his consciousness faded, he saw Helena walking towards him step by step.
She looked at herself expressionlessly, her arms having transformed into tentacles flying in all directions.
Luo Wei's eyes went dark and he lost all perception of the world.
