Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

Rod quickly checked his condition.

The system status bar displays Professor Rhodes' information.

Without a doubt, he has now returned to the warlock world where Professor Rhodes resides.

He even discovered that the system had tasks.

……

[Villain: Chief Professor Rhodes]

【Task Objective】

[1. Pay the price for your past actions.]

2. Seeking the truth of the world.

3. Survive.

[Task Rewards]

Anything is possible.

……

Why is there a main storyline even when the villain returns?

Rod was completely baffled.

Furthermore, the taskbar also displays a large number of optional side quests.

……

[Objective: To accompany Ange to the ends of the earth.]

Objective: To assist the Golden Generation in destroying the Advent Society.

[Objective: To complete the research project on the Primordial Witch.]

Objective: To protect the life of the Empress.

Objective: Escape the palace with the Empress.

[Goal: The better days are yet to come! Survive this hellish battlefield!]

……

In previous portrayals of villains, new mission objectives were only triggered at specific points in time.

The current villain's return presents all available missions from the outset, with specific priorities assigned.

Could it be to demonstrate a degree of freedom?

"They can't possibly give me some weird, unexpected plot twists again, can they?"

Rod's lips twitched slightly.

Shut down the system and suppress your doubts.

He began to observe his surroundings.

This is an underground chamber, and the walls are covered with ancient and mysterious spells and incantations.

Rhodes's memory is still stuck on the rainy night when he was killed by Luna.

He was certain he had never been here.

But I don't know why.

There's a strange sense of déjà vu.

Rhodes attempted to decipher the spell on the wall.

Perhaps it was due to his innate talent for "extensive knowledge and strong memory," but he quickly deciphered the most crucial technique—

Rise again, my love.

Rhodes was quite upset about this result.

Suddenly.

A strange "click" came from the tightly locked iron gate.

Rhodes looked in the direction of the sound.

As expected, his chief disciple An Jie appeared at the door.

Three years have passed, and Anjie has matured a lot.

He just looked a little haggard.

"teacher!"

Ange was so excited that she rushed over and hugged Rod tightly.

"Teacher...teacher...teacher..."

She kept murmuring in a trembling voice.

His words carried a strange, unsettling, and sticky quality that made one feel intensely uncomfortable.

She looked up at Rod, her face filled with a sickly joy.

"Welcome back, teacher."

……

"So, this is how you survive?"

Rhodes finally understood the meaning of the system's mission objective.

He is currently facing a major life crisis.

Ange locked him in the basement, as if she intended to imprison him until he died.

Rhodes did try to make a last-ditch effort.

Unfortunately, Anjie's skill level was much higher, and she wasn't falling for her trap at all.

If they were to break through using force, Ange would already be a top-tier sorcerer, while Rhodes would still be at level one, and even be somewhat mentally weakened, making it difficult for him to exert his full strength.

It's highly likely we can't win.

Rhodes had no choice but to rethink his strategy.

When it was time to sleep, Anjie came over wanting to sleep together.

Rod initially refused.

But considering that Anjie had worked so hard for him for three years, he couldn't help but agree based on the principle of equivalent exchange.

The two lay in bed, with Ange happily resting her head on Rod's arm.

"Teacher, do you remember? We used to try to hide in a dark room like this, huddled together."

"You're talking about the ghost story from when I was in second grade."

Rhodes still remembers this incident.

This is one of the events of a predetermined destiny. The spies from within the academy, taking advantage of the headmaster's absence, will unleash a long-prepared spell to transform the entire school into a ghost town.

Rhodes had anticipated this and calmly directed Luna and the other students to deal with the danger and find the traitor.

As a result, Anjie's fear of ghosts caused her to perform poorly, and she inadvertently fell into the trap of a spy.

Fearing for Ange's safety, Rod also jumped into the trap.

The two were thus imprisoned in a dark cell.

The situation then was somewhat similar to that now.

Seeing Ange trembling with fear, Rod hugged her tightly, giving her a sense of security.

Later, by analyzing the spell of the Dark Prison, Rhodes discovered that it was located in the core area of ​​the spell.

Thus, by coordinating with Luna from the outside world, they broke through the Ghost Realm.

The academy's spies were also killed by Rhodes.

The incident has now come to a satisfactory conclusion.

"My teacher may not know, but before this incident, I had only one goal in life: to become a top-tier sorcerer who would reach the pinnacle of the world."

"And after that, I found a new goal."

"Can the teacher guess what it is?"

Ange looked up, staring intently at Rod.

Rod realized something, but pretended not to know and asked.

"What purpose...?"

His words came to an abrupt halt.

His eyes widened in surprise.

What comes into view is Anjie with her eyes closed.

Her face, flushed with a delicate blush, moved closer to Rhodes, her soft touch pressed against his lips.

Before Rod could react, something slippery and moist pried open his mouth, and a sweet aroma filled his oral cavity.

Young people lack martial ethics.

They actually tried to trick me, to launch a sneak attack! I'm an old professor who just came back to life!

Rod thought to himself.

At the same time, another question arose in his mind.

"Why are you so skilled at this?"

It's like doing it thousands of times.

Unfortunately, his mouth was gagged, so he couldn't ask any questions.

After a long time, their lips parted.

"Does the teacher know my goal now?"

Anjie asked with a smile.

The blush on her face didn't fade; instead, it spread to her glistening earlobes, making her look especially alluring against her silver hair.

"..."

Rhodes suddenly became curious.

If he continues to say he doesn't know, will he do it again?

……

three days later.

Following the system's instructions, Rhodes persuaded Ange to leave the underground research lab by citing the reason that they were going to the ends of the world.

The research lab is located in a remote area, and outside it lies a desolate wilderness.

However, it was a long-awaited moment when the sun shone on us.

Rod's mood brightened as well.

"Teacher, where are you planning to go now?"

Ange linked arms with Rod.

When Rod heard this question, he felt a sense of déjà vu.

He remembered the system's mission and quickly made a decision.

"My former students have formed a team and are pursuing the Advent Society. The Advent Society is not easy to deal with, and I need to return to the Imperial capital to check on their situation."

"Is the teacher doing this for Luna? She tried to kill you, yet you still give her special treatment."

Anjie said softly.

Her expression was somewhat sinister, and she exuded a chilling aura.

Rod felt a chill run down his spine.

I just want to complain about why my own chief disciple has turned out like this.

He tried his best to remain calm and stared intently at Anjie.

"Luna is my student, just like you. Even if a student makes a mistake, as her teacher, I should guide her back to the right path."

Ange and Rod looked at each other.

Sensing the determination in Rhodes' eyes, he finally gave in.

The two boarded a train and headed directly to the imperial capital without making any stops.

The train sped along the tracks.

As Rod gazed at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, he experienced a sense of déjà vu once again.

If I remember correctly, we'll be going through a tunnel ahead.

Suddenly, Rhodes felt a sense of foreboding.

"Be careful!"

He suddenly pulled Anjie into his arms.

Just as the train entered the tunnel.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion rang out from outside the car.

The speeding train shuddered violently and was suddenly overturned by the explosion.
