Chapter 8 The Safest Place
After Luo Wei attacked the police...
As expected, he was put in silver handcuffs and enjoyed a day trip to the police station.
In the interrogation room of the St. Karen East District Police Station, looking at the rusty metal railings in front of him, Luo Wei inexplicably felt a sense of security.
Serial killers, bandits with seven-figure bounties, and even some occultists who went crazy while studying supernatural powers have all been imprisoned here.
He was an indirect "cellmate" of Luo Wei.
In the corridor outside the interrogation room, some fully armed police officers pass by from time to time. It is still shift change time, and most of the security forces in the entire East District are here.
Luo Wei's situation at this moment was indeed extremely safe.
"What are you looking at, kid? Are you trying to escape from prison?"
The police officer who was interrogating him looked at Luo Wei with an unhappy expression as he looked around.
"How could that be?" Luo Wei looked at him sincerely, "I won't go out even if you beg me to."
The police officer threw a stack of files on the table and looked at the boy in front of him in confusion.
"What a freak..."
"Am I out of step with the thinking of today's young people? There are actually people who are willing to be thrown into prison..."
"That...police officer..." Luo Wei looked at him seriously.
"explain."
"Can I be kept in jail for a few more days?"
The police officer looked at him angrily and slammed the table.
"Do you think this is your home? You can come and go as you please?"
Luo Wei couldn't help laughing.
The police officer was furious when he saw that the teenager showed no remorse at all.
He put the file away, coughed, and then looked at him seriously.
"Lovi Edeling, the sole heir of the Edeling family. Both his parents are deceased, and he inherited his father's property in the West District. He is a first-year student at the Saint Karen Royal School of Magical Sciences."
"Four years ago, I was implicated in the Blackwater Town cult case. I dropped out of school due to illness and went overseas for recuperation. Three days ago, I returned to St. Karen and am repeating my first year of the magic major."
"The records show that you are the only son in the family and you don't have any younger sisters."
"I've searched all the orphanage files in the city and haven't found the Helena you mentioned. There's no social identity to be found about this person either."
"The police team we sent out just returned, and Helena wasn't found in your home."
"Because there are so many crazy kids coming out of your school, I can't really believe what you're saying is real."
Luo Wei nodded as he listened, appearing to be listening very attentively.
It was within his expectation that the police station could not find Helena. The slums were a mixed crowd, and there were too many people whose identities could not be traced.
As for the fact that even the original welfare home files could not be found, it was probably because Helena had erased all traces of them within the past four years.
What the police officer just said also answered some of Luo Wei's questions.
It turns out that in the second round of the game, he fixed the bug that had been missing for four years.
The Blackwater Town Cult Case was the last chapter he played before crossing over, but it was too difficult and he kept dying and got stuck there for a long time.
It was a weird town filled with twisted monsters and crazy cultists.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that "I" contracted a disease there and recuperated overseas for four years.
The police officer looked at Luo Wei helplessly as he nodded seriously, and felt a headache.
Every case involving "aliens" and "mysterious powers" is of great importance and cannot be neglected.
Even though this kid was probably playing a prank, he had to take it seriously.
"Although I still can't verify what you said..."
"But I have already informed your so-called 'old friend,' Sheriff Ramones."
"He's out investigating a case and will be back soon."
The officer snorted again, "You'd better not lie to me. Filing a false alarm has cost us so many officers a waste. Even though you're a minor, the consequences are very serious."
Luo Wei looked at the police officer with a smile. Although he always had a stern face, he was actually very competent.
"Thank you, sir."
The police officer put away the file and left the interrogation room with a snort.
"You will be transferred to the detention room next door in a moment."
"Leave."
"Bye, sir!" Luo Wei waved politely.
After the police officer left, silence returned to the interrogation room.
Luo Wei leaned back in his chair bored, listening to the wailing and cursing coming from the rooms around him.
If Sheriff Ramons doesn't come back today, he will have to stay here all day. If he comes back, Luo Wei can connect with the Special Affairs Office.
No matter how you look at it, today is a safe day.
This made Luo Wei, who had died repeatedly and had never seen the sun the next day, feel a little sad.
Will I really survive this day?
Luo Wei relaxed and began to plan for the future.
The current situation is that all the alien species that were once taken in have escaped, so he now has no skills other than basic attributes.
So after he was safe, he still had to go back to the "shelter" and pick up the potion/alchemy again, which was the only thing that could save his life.
When thinking about these things...
Suddenly at some point, the entire police station fell strangely quiet.
All the voices of cursing or begging for mercy disappeared.
Luo Wei frowned and looked outside the metal railing.
Heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Luo Wei saw a long, narrow black shadow approaching his location step by step.
The sound of footsteps in the corridor made Luo Wei's heartbeat gradually accelerate.
He stood up warily.
Who is it?
Finally, the footsteps stopped.
A man wearing a special black police uniform, holding a key chain in his hand, stood opposite Luo Wei.
"Lo Wei?"
Luo Wei stared at him and nodded slightly.
The strange police officer nodded, then opened the cell door and walked in.
After sitting down, he looked at Luo Wei and made a very low voice.
"Special Services, Agent Calder."
"We have received your report regarding the 'alien species' and need more information from you."
Hearing that it was someone from the Special Affairs Office, Luo Wei felt relieved.
"You should have told me earlier... You're so surprised."
Facing the agent named Card, Luo Wei told him about the threat he had received from Helena.
However, since the process of her killing herself involved things like "rewinding the game", it could not be revealed to outsiders, so there was no way for the agents to empathize with how terrifying Helena was.
It was precisely because of this that the police officer who interrogated him before was skeptical and even suspected that he was playing a prank...
"It's actually a Shoggoth?"
"The most annoying thing is the tentacles..."
"If that's the case, it's really a bit troublesome..."
Agent Calder seemed to be thinking about something and was silent for a long time.
"You can send the elite forces of the Special Affairs Office to follow me to the old house. I remember that you have quite a few mysterious and powerful extraordinary people there."
"Our agents cannot be deployed at will." Agent Card shook his head with a smile.
He looked up at Luo Wei.
"First, tell me what your so-called sister, that monster, Helena, really is like."
"she……"
Luo Wei frowned slightly. In fact, at this point, it was difficult for him to describe what Helena was like in his heart.
She used to be a timid and weak little girl, following him like a little transparent person.
Perhaps because he lacked love since childhood, this child is very sensitive and has low self-esteem, which can be felt from the lines in the game.
She also has many quirks, is gluttonous, and has an extreme passion for food.
You can even talk to your favorite stuffed animal.
So when she prepared a table full of dishes for him and looked at him expectantly with a nervous expression...
Luo Wei even showed a moment of sympathy.
Sympathy for Helena... could this feeling actually arise in me too?
Luo Wei felt that this world was a bit absurd.
She had clearly killed herself twice, and each death was more tragic than the last...
so……
Yes, there is sympathy.
But sympathy and resentment are not in conflict.
I sympathize with her, but who sympathizes with me...
Whenever Luo Wei thought of the unspeakable pain he had suffered during his two deaths, he would feel boundless anger.
Even though I knew she was just suffering from the backlash of her power and had mental problems, and that the original Helena was not like that...
Luo Wei was still angry.
Originally I was playing the game, but now the game is playing me. This life-threatening feeling of disappointment will not disappear in a short time.
Thinking of this, Luo Wei narrowed his eyes and his gaze gradually became gloomy.
He continued to narrate for Agent Calder until his mouth was dry and he finally stopped.
Agent Calder sat across from him motionless, seemingly not feeling the slightest bit of fatigue.
He supported his chin, thinking about what he had just heard.
"A terrifying alien creature..."
"Disgusting slimy tentacles..."
"Paranoid, sinister and cunning."
"Don't be deceived by the appearance , he's a completely twisted monster on the inside."
Agent Calder nodded, "Yeah, I see."
Luo Wei looked at him and said, "How is it? Can you take me away next? I need the protection of your department."
Carde did not answer this question, he just looked at Luo Wei calmly.
"So, I am such a disgusting existence in my brother's eyes..."
The voice suddenly changed from a low and hoarse male voice to a cold and sharp female voice.
Luo Wei looked at the person in front of him in shock. He saw that "Calder's" body was twisting violently, as if something was trying to drill out from under his skin.
"you……"
In the quiet interrogation room, a strange sound of movement was heard.
Luo Wei watched helplessly as the so-called "Agent Carder"'s body under the police uniform gradually transformed into a thin female body while twisting.
Helena, wearing a police uniform, appeared before him.
"H...Helena?"
It was not until then that the blood outside the corridor began to spread over like a sea of blood.
So this is why the police station went quiet...
How many people did she kill!?
Luo Wei felt dizzy, as if an invisible net had fallen from the sky and was covering him.
No matter where he escapes to, this net will tighten around him and suffocate him.
"Brother~"
Helena's face was gloomy, and she put on a strange smile that was neither real nor fake.
She was angry, extremely angry.
"So, this is how my brother has always viewed Helena. Helena is so disappointed..."
"But it doesn't matter..."
Her arms trembled and turned into disgusting tentacles that Luo Wei was extremely familiar with.
The soft tips of the tentacles began to develop hard scales, and eventually turned into sharp knife-like objects.
"Although my brother doesn't like Helena..."
"But it doesn't matter, as long as Helena likes her brother..."
"We'll be together forever soon..."
The scattered sharp tentacles are like blooming red spider lilies, with a strange beauty.
Luo Wei looked at the tentacles turning towards him.
I closed my eyes weakly.
