After experiencing so many masks, she still found this communication extremely difficult to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she could clearly sense that the other party must have undergone something underground that they couldn't share with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her current information was too limited - she only had superficial data from her All-Seeing Eye to analyze the essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The possible secrets underground were only being faced by \"Sin,\" who apparently couldn't tell her for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she had to command on the surface, where players seemed to regard her as an expert awaiting her orders, while the prisoners currently had little will of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time limit of Sound of Falling Snow was almost up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to break through the walls, she felt much of their current work was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath and looking at the chaotic crowd before her - she had actually harbored doubts for a while - she asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn. This woman was being perceptive at the worst possible time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of answering directly, he seemed to change the subject:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you're doing now is actually the most crucial part of the prison break.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember the Cutter's plan? It was actually quite good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong recalled and understood his meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Cutter had said before - some would create a major distraction on the surface (essentially sacrificing themselves) while others dug tunnels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That absurd plan now seemed to have fully materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except now, everyone on the surface was sacrificing themselves to create the distraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the tunnel was this green passageway, with only Lu Ce inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These goblin-like creatures are endless. Though Know-it-All tried his best to act, he still had to fight seriously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case... our people will probably all die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce's voice instantly turned icy, as if it had never held any warmth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already said - let them die then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these last three words, he changed his tone, using his own will to suppress the aggressive jealousy as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong closed her eyes, hesitating. She wasn't sure whether \"Sin\" truly had some unspoken difficulty or was simply treating lives like grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded silently without responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally she just said: \"The warden asked me to contact you again. He said to continue what you were doing before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce had already carved another path through the goblin army to reach the end, staring directly at where all the pipes terminated in that black cross-section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began violently tearing at them, trying to sever all the pipes in this prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since each tear from his body directly drained massive amounts of his vitality, he was essentially using his own body as a medium to destroy the enemy's design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now he still had to spare effort to \"organize\" the three brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He speculated that only by doing this could they regain some rationality to go easy on Xie Antong's group outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if those three were fully controlled and joined the battle, the surface team would be instantly doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This placed an excessive burden on him - organizing enemy brains amidst thousands while also destroying their pipes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't dare use the Black Knight in this scenario, fearing its AI might be recognized as the simplest lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the enemy took it, that would be disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After consuming his massive stockpile of recovery potions, Lu Ce decided to try something riskier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the pipes fused into his body, he stopped rushing to pull them out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd just leave them embedded - it didn't hurt anyway - planning to destroy them all at once later while downing a high-grade potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now he looked like some escaped bioweapon experiment, hundreds of pipes protruding from his body as he fought through green creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, seems your time is running out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, every second you have is bought with lives from outside~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wouldn't want you to actually get everyone killed, would we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of Life didn't seem angry anymore, just teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Lu Ce laughed and retorted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You keep using these tricks - makes me think you're not actually that strong. All show, no substance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would a true powerhouse resort to such tricks? Don't lie - I've figured it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice paused as if glitching, then asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Figured what out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce briefly cleared a space around himself. \"Want me to tell you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forgot to mention - in my current state, my memory's excellent. I remember many things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That warden really went through trouble - he'd brainwashed himself long ago trying to send messages outside, but no one understood. Not even you noticed anything odd.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He once told me: 'The living cannot leave this place.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think that means?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Life]: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't find it strange, right? Just thought it emphasized the prison's impenetrability - that escapees get killed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But there's another interpretation, isn't there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That the living can't leave... because everyone here is already dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They've died already. Like you told me - didn't you realize you'd already self-destructed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That story about helping abductees but getting discovered and suffering? That was actually you dying, wasn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your 'second life' - let me guess - did you steal some authority from something like the Grim Reaper to drag those who should've died here for your use?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Ce finished, the other side remained terrifyingly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha!\" Lu Ce burst into laughter, knowing he was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The prison break - it's about letting those who should've died finally die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You came here trying to awaken my conscience to save people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the prison's hints have always been obvious, haven't they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The nature of this game is good people's utter defeat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",958,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","992b9909c5968bf9b48a651613ebd9464bb29c307be1fbab0302b928074188dd","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-264","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-262",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
