What are you even talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can actually hear me? Then maybe this really is connected...” Xie Antong’s voice carried a trace of surprise, like she hadn’t expected it to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your headset’s broken already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are Epic-tier Weapons really this crappy? You must’ve been scammed when you bought it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, that’s not what I meant. The prison guards canceled yard time and told us to go back, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But now, for some reason, the door isn’t closed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I wanted to test if it would still work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And? Does it work?” Lu Ce asked, feigning intense “curiosity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This prison is poorly built, but you still managed to build it to the worst possible standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce suddenly thought of something and looked down again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just said you were all forced back in, but the prison doors didn’t close, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why? Could it be that someone hasn’t returned yet? Is there still someone outside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, like you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: #......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I don’t think that’s really the key point. I mean, would a prison really care if someone hasn’t returned before locking the doors?” Xie Antong added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True, that makes sense...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce looked down at the writing next to the three brains in the container, reading the lines that described the yard time and the door schedules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it possible... that they’re not leaving the doors open on purpose, but because they can’t close them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say?” Xie Antong picked up on the message instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing. Your info is useful. This game better not turn into some kind of cursed-rule mystery story.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe those three are just the surface-level controllers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are the three of them doing right now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that question, Xie Antong activated her distant All-Knowing Eye and checked on the three people under surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t hear very clearly—their guard’s up and they’ve got outside shielding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the three of them have pretty bad tempers. After the prison guards came back, they moved to one side and looked like they were arguing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only caught fragments. The Warden and Know-it-All questioned the prison guard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They said, ‘Why did you feed that person? Weren’t we supposed to deal with that guy today? Now we’ve wasted today’s opportunity again.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong relayed the message word for word, but Lu Ce’s brows furrowed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re sure? You didn’t mishear anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Positive!” Xie Antong was confident when it came to things like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked again at the rule written up top, which clearly stated: “At least one feeding per day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tch. Could this be a problem with the translation software? Could the game’s auto-translate system actually have ambiguities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, keep observing. Also, if anything weird happens in the prison over the next little while, tell me everything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong raised her eyebrows slightly. This might be the first time “Sin” had proposed such a direct form of collaboration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this, “Sin” always meant to watch things alone. Like he could handle everything by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After agreeing, Xie Antong gave it some thought and injected herself with the game’s first dose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, on Lu Ce’s end, he rubbed his chin, staring at the three brains in front of him, studying the rule descriptions above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This prison... has a lot of suspicious stuff going on...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, including among the three big shots like the Warden and the prison guard, tensions were flaring again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core issue was the questioning of why the prison guard had done what he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, today’s feeding quota was supposed to go to that shapeshifter. So why’d he use it on some riot-crazed idiot instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of chaos could an idiot like that stir up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, the prison guard wasn’t backing down either—he thought he was completely justified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them looked like they were about to throw hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was already mistrust among them, and today’s situation only made it worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, are you starting to suspect me now?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prison guard clenched his fists and glared daggers at the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wanna fight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can’t calm down, then go ahead and swing.” The Warden wasn’t exactly calm himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before we go there, can one of you give me my headset back...” Know-it-All said, clearly annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the entire prison went into chaos. Door after door opened, and a swarm of black-clad figures carrying trays streamed out. The trays held this round’s food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was—it wasn’t even meal time yet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it was way too early!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prison guard and the Warden both looked on in total confusion at the flood of figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the... is going on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get back! It’s not time yet! What the h*ll are you doing? Get lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prison guard roared in fury, his voice so loud it made the entire prison tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong frowned as she watched all this unfold. Was this the abnormal event “Sin” mentioned earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems like it. Guess this counts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could say anything, another swarm of black-robed figures ran out, heading for every cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sleep! Sleep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From under the black robes came a grating voice, urging every prisoner to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s what you’re supposed to do after eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole prison: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prison guard: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you rebelling?! What are you doing?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prison guard stormed toward the figures, looking like he was about to throw hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong quickly pressed on her headset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you do something?! The prison’s gone completely haywire!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, in the underground tunnel, Lu Ce was poking at the three brains in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Really? Looks like it actually worked.” Lu Ce said in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong told him everything she had seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those weird things, the ones always wrapped in black clothing, they all came out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. They’re delivering food and telling everyone to go to sleep,” Xie Antong replied while watching the scene unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good!” Lu Ce nodded and pulled his hand back from poking the brains. “Help me confirm something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?” Xie Antong was surprised. “Did ‘Sin’ just use the word ‘help’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use the All-Knowing Eye and get under those black robes. Go in and see what their bodies look like inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: !?\u003C\u002Fp>",1085,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","64bb315a01aa894b2f9536f345eab27f7d6c6690319b104e6832bdf6adb715cc","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-252","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-250",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
