I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

Time passed, and no other events or problems occurred during that time.

Red felt like he had spent a day here worse than a stray dog.

During the night, prison guards deliberately came to the death row section to mock the death row inmates.

The death row inmates gritted their teeth, their every word a curse, trying to pry open the iron bars in front of them.

But the iron bars in front of them were specifically designed for death row inmates, and even those with superhuman strength couldn't pry them open.

Reed ignored the provocative guard, partly because he'd wasted all his vocabulary that day on SA?4011.

Secondly, because Reed didn't take the other person seriously at all; right now, Reed just wanted to wait until tomorrow.

SA?4011, however, remained full of fighting spirit, and the four of them even got into a shouting match with more than ten prison guards.

Several prison guards initially intended to taunt and insult Lilia and Lilith, but SA?4011 stepped forward and drew their attention.

This is why we were able to have four people verbally attacking more than ten people in a back-and-forth exchange.

Finally, the jailer broke through the defenses first; mental attacks were no match. So, physical attacks followed.

After being repeatedly beaten by more than a dozen prison guards wielding iron bars, SA?4011 and the others are now covered in bruises.

The prison guards showed no mercy, as if they were preparing to execute him on the spot.

However, some rational individuals intervened, stopped their hot-tempered colleagues, and then left.

SA?4011[078] "Damn it, these sons of bitches!" 078 cursed under his breath, rubbing his bleeding forehead.

Lilia craned her neck slightly to look at 078 and asked, "Are you alright?"

078 "If you're asking whether I'll live to see tomorrow, then the answer is yes, I'm okay."

"If you ask me how bad my injuries are, I can only say they're terrible... He practically kicked my head to pieces...!"

The area was filled with the soft groans of pain from the SA4011s, but even after being beaten like this, they did not back down. Instead, they shouted, "Give me back my weapon and I'll fight you again!"

078 leaned against the wall, rubbing his forehead, and his eyes met those of Lilith and Lilia.

The two sisters looked worried about 078, because he was the one who had been beaten the most and whose head had been hit the most.

078 "Don't look at me like that, you won't die..."

"I'm just a little dizzy. Let's try to distract ourselves. Why don't you tell me what you used to do..."

SA?4011[A] "Stealing chickens and dogs, just getting by day by day... I joined this group because I didn't want to live a life where I'd get beaten up if I got caught."

SA?4011[B]“I am a scholar who wants to earn money so I can go to the academy to study and become a great person.”

SA?4011[C] "My wife disliked me for being too poor and kissed her mistress right in front of me, and even beat me up."

"I joined this place not for money or food, but because it's dangerous. I'm here to train and, if I survive, I'll find those two bastards and fight them back!"

SA?4011[078] "I was convicted of harboring a witch and banished to the witch district, but then I ran away and joined this place."

SA?4011[C] "By the way... Noelle, what did you do before?"

Noelle, holding the communication crystal, heard SA?4011's voice and the question from before.

Noelle's voice emanated from the crystal in Reid's hand: "I am of noble birth, but I lost both hands because I was deceived by the headmaster while trying to be number one..."

“Red saved me, and I want to get my hands back/get revenge, and then the priest and you guys are stopping me…!”

Noelle's tone grew increasingly fierce; it seemed that the days of fleeing and fighting had truly wronged this young lady who had originally enjoyed a life of luxury as a noblewoman.

SA?4011[A] "Ah...actually, I guessed long ago that you were the victims, but the priest said the complete opposite."

Noelle: "I know all that, yet I still joined! You're going to capture me and offer me to the evil god!"

SA?4011[B] "What can we do... Actually, most people know about this."

"You heard what we were talking about earlier, right? We're all from the bottom of society."

SA?4011[078] "It means we are all living for ourselves, and if we hadn't joined here, we would probably be dead in some gutter by now."

SA?4011[C] "The priest promised that as long as one remained loyal to him, one could receive a lot of money."

"We're just a bunch of people who work for money, we're not exactly good people..."

Noelle was somewhat indignant. "So you're making an enemy of me, a disabled person?!"

Reed interrupted with a yawn, "Come on, Noelle."

"No matter how much you talk to them, it will only make them feel guilty for a moment, but their actions will remain unchanged."

That's just how the world is; you can't survive without money, and you might not survive even if you have money.

"They'll still be enemies in the end; talking to them again will only be revealing information."

078 agreed, "Yeah... so what did you do before, Redner? Tell us, we're in the same boat."

After a moment of silence, Reed said, "Murder, theft, robbery—anything goes, as long as you're alive."

078 "So, this equipment and all your killing skills were stolen? Then you're really good at dirty work."

Reed: "So you're just using this as an excuse to insult me? Even if you say that, I don't care if it's stolen or robbed, as long as I'm alive."

078 "People like you live the longest, people who have no attachments..."

SA?4011[C] "Isn't Noelle something he cares about? It seems like everything he's doing now is for Noelle."

SA?4011[B] "Perhaps I'm just inexperienced, but I've never seen a mercenary so willing to risk their life for a fallen nobleman."

SA?4011[A] "So is this person stupid or smart?"

Noelle [blushed/quietly] ?＞????＜?

Reed: "You guys say these things to my face, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"I haven't lost my pickaxe. I'm pretty confident my trajectory will glide past a few cells and snag one of your heads."

SA?4011[A] "Can you stop being so petty? We were just exchanging ideas, and I didn't say anything bad about you."

Reed said, "Then please talk about me behind my back. After all, I'm more fragile than you think, and I can't stand hearing people whisper about me."

"When I hear that, I won't just find a place to squat and cry; instead, I'll find a chance to give you all 25 hours of deep sleep..."

Reed's deep and imposing voice made the four SA4011s, who clearly sensed his murderous intent, fall silent.

Reed's voice, "Noelle," snapped Noelle out of her daze.

Noelle replied, "Yeah! I'm here... What's wrong with Reed?"

Reed said, "It's late, let's go to sleep."

After Reed finished speaking, he turned off the communication crystal. Noelle, standing in the distance, stared blankly at the crystal that had lost its light.

(Huh? Is this a reminder to go to sleep...?) Noelle felt like she was being treated like a child; she used to be told to go to sleep a lot when she was even younger.

Noelle muttered a few words with a pout, rubbed her eyes, and prepared to go to sleep.
