I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was clearly in the wrong, he couldn’t defend himself. No matter how many excuses he had, the fact remained — he tossed out something someone had entrusted to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any excuse was still a betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what disappoints me the most is that you tried all kinds of ways to dodge the issue instead of just telling me the truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the moment I walked in, I’ve been testing you. Unfortunately, you failed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong’s eyes behind the helmet were now looking at Know-it-All with the same contempt you'd reserve for trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really thought you were different from the rest of the people in this prison.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve lost the last shred of my trust.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All freaked out on the spot and quickly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I swear I didn’t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce looked back and glanced at the cabinet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what were you doing over there earlier, digging around for stuff?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell me you were trying to whip up a fake to fool me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Know-it-All was dumbfounded. “You seriously can read minds?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce stood up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Agh, no—ugh, fine. I admit it, okay? The headset was taken by the Warden.” Know-it-All came clean. He could feel himself turning into exactly what she’d called him — a dishonest little b*stard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But there’s a reason, I swear! Back then I—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lu Ce didn’t expect him to spill everything so easily, like he was trying to get a lighter sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then, I’ve never seen something like this in this prison before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guess I was wrong from the start. But wait, are you the one they said is super weird? The one who could bring some big catastrophe?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wanna tell me what's going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce was a little thrown, but kept up his act — he turned around to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need. I don’t want your compensation either. I’ve got nothing more to say to someone who breaks promises.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Consider this my loss. I’m out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned and headed for the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No hesitation in his steps, he walked away fast, screaming in his head, Hurry up and stop me already!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a second!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All stood up like he’d made some huge decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you calling a dishonest b*stard?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about this — in exchange, tell me what’s really going on. Satisfy my curiosity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll get your headset back for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even wearing the Jealousy Mask, Lu Ce was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected this guy to actually have some backbone when it came to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d come here purely to mess with him — never thought it’d turn into something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guess he really was the scumbag in this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve all been fooled,” Lu Ce said, opening with a total lie and keeping a straight face. “Someone’s been feeding you a gigantic f***ing lie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All: “Did I end up in the wrong story... what are you even talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean by a gigantic lie?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he mean by a gigantic lie?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce obviously had no clue — he was totally making this up. Just like when he’d pretended to be the Warden and talked about some huge disaster. That was BS too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Know-it-All looked like he was taking it super seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A normal person might’ve felt bad seeing him like this and stopped lying, but Jealousy? Nah, not a normal person. He felt zero guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time to speak in riddles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This prison, the feeding, the purpose of this place, even all of you — everything, everything is part of one massive conspiracy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This conspiracy includes every single person.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Lu Ce was saying was total bulls**t. No real content at all, just pure bluffing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, Know-it-All seemed to buy it. His brow furrowed, and his whole demeanor changed from earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then… who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m here to end it all. Or die trying.” That was the only thing Lu Ce said that was actually true. “So, you can call me… the Terminator.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell kind of nonsense is this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost lost it again, but figured they were having a serious conversation now, so he forced his twitching face to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, quietly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About this conspiracy… can you give me any details?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry.” Lu Ce started walking forward, but realized he had to tilt his head up to look at the other guy — after all, he was still in Xie Antong’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tch. Couldn’t this woman be at least 180 cm tall?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, his presence wasn’t weak at all. As he walked toward Know-it-All, the guy actually took a step back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t trust you. Just like I told you the first time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you get it now, then you should know what to do next.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, Lu Ce didn’t stop — he turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he really left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t, he was gonna lose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this crap about a conspiracy, even the “if you understand” line — he didn’t understand sh*t himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal lies at least have some connection to the truth. Lu Ce? He had nothing. Just pure nonsense. No real goal either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just banking on the other guy to fill in the blanks himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what the guy ends up imagining? Not his problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get the headset back from the Warden?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good luck with that — the Warden never had it in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those two end up fighting? Even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without realizing it, Lu Ce's footsteps got lighter as he walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing something rotten, Jealousy always felt a little happier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh… maybe I should keep going…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe go scam that other guy next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce muttered to himself as he walked out of the room, and as soon as he stepped outside, he switched faces again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— Now he looked like Know-it-All!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the real Know-it-All was still inside the room, fingers interlocked, sitting there with a serious expression. His whole face seemed hidden in shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce's random B.S. had hit him like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A conspiracy, huh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many years has it been…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what kind of insane idea he’d just come up with based on Lu Ce's total nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, in a corner outside the women’s prison, Xie Antong's lips curved into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw clearly — Know-it-All had just walked out of that room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was sure… that wasn’t Know-it-All.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s you, isn’t it…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1104,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","f2cf6f9673574c40be30bc77df0bbd62c43d4805963e206f9011997598c572f9","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-242","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-240",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
