The Villain’s Perspective

Lucifer sprinted back to his room and closed the door instantly. The room had become a lot more comfortable without Mastro in it.

Lucifer quickly jumped onto the bed that Mastro had used to experience the soft feeling it brought. Indeed, the bed was very cozy and pleasant, but because it was soaked with Mastro's scent, Lucifer couldn't stand the smell of it.

He sat up and returned to his familiar sofa.

He had killed another person today. It seemed like he was more used to killing people, or perhaps he was only willing to kill bad guys like Mastro.

Lucifer rummaged through the room to find a first aid kit. He quickly disinfected the wound and bandaged it. The whole process took longer than Lucifer thought because this was the first time he had bandaged a wound like this himself.

After calming down, Lucifer decided to look at his system panel.

Ancient name: ???

Potential: Uncountable

Everything was still the same, nothing had changed. Lucifer felt a little disappointed and worried. He needed to get a Destiny as soon as possible if he wanted to survive in this harsh world.

But that wasn't the problem he needed to worry about right now. Right now, he needed to come up with a plan to escape from here with Mask.

After Mastro's death, the security in Hell would definitely be ten times tighter than before, making escape much more strenuous than previous.

'Fuck you Mastro!'

Lucifer cursed Mastro in his mind. But it was thanks to him that Lucifer was able to steal the key from the red guard.

'At least I should show some respect to him.'

Lucifer's time in Hell was not useless unlike Mastro and Mask. He had discovered a lot of interesting things that he could take advantage of after exploring Hell every single night.

A few days ago, Lucifer received a message on his computer saying that next week they would transport more humans here and let them kill each other to find the strongest one. Therefore, the security on the 1st and 3rd floors would be extremely tight, while the other floors would have less security.

Moreover, Lucifer learned that the people here had surveillance cameras covering the entire area within a 5km radius, which meant that even if he used the item to call the heroes, the bad guys had already escaped.

But because Lucifer had promised a hero that he would destroy all of them and also because Lucifer didn't want to let the villains escape, he couldn't use the item at the moment.

In addition, Lucifer often sneaked out of his room at night and went to the 7th floor because that was when the security would be the lowest. There, he had known that the cells that held the monsters needed a key to open.

And it seemed that these monsters slept a lot. They usually woke up at 7pm and went to sleep at 10pm. They would only be active for around 3 hours before going back to sleep.

Most importantly, most of the guards would usually gather on the 2nd and 1st floors at 5pm for dinner, so the other floors would be less guarded.

Lucifer took out an old key from his pocket, it seemed to be related to the locks of the cells on the 7th floor because they all looked old and the red guards always brought a key wherever they went. There was a high chance that this key could be used to open all the cells on the 7th floor because all the locks there looked identical.

Lucifer stared at the key for a moment and then smirked.

'I think I have had a plan!'

***

Lucifer's plan would be as follows:

The truck carrying the sold people would arrive here at 4pm. During that time, most of the floors would be deserted because Hell would concentrate most of its manpower on the 1st and 3rd floors.

Taking advantage of the time when the guards on the 1st and 3rd floors were gathering to escort the truck and having dinner, Lucifer would sneak down to the 7th floor to unlock the cells. Since the monsters only woke up at 7pm, he didn't have to worry much about being attacked.

After finishing his job, Lucifer would go up to the security room on the 1st floor and set the timer for the doors to automatically lock. He couldn't disconnect the cameras because only the red guards could do that.

When the monsters woke up, they would get out all over this place and destroy everything that caught into their eyes. The guards would go downstairs to try to stop them while Lucifer would take Mask out of here in the meantime.

When the guards realized that they were no match for the monsters, they would tried to escape but couldn't because all the doors were locked. As a result, the monsters will eat all of them.

Once they were out, Lucifer just needed to inform the heroes and that's it.

'I guess that plan was perfectly fine!'

Lucifer can't help but feel proud of himself for coming up with such a thorough plan.

***

Lucifer went upstairs to have dinner, since Mastro was no longer around, the money in his card would be completely his.

Lucifer knew that he was about to leave, so he attempted to spend all the money in the 2 cards on food. His dining table was full of expensive dishes like lobster, caviar, raw salmon, steak, mashed potatoes, etc.

There were a few guards who glanced at his food, but Lucifer didn't pay any attention to them.

'You guys are all going to die anyway.'

After finishing the meal, Lucifer also bought a lot of tasty and nutritious food for Mask. Her current condition was not getting any better, and was even getting worse as time went on.

Lucifer told himself that he had to leave at all costs and let Mask go to the hospital.

He gently placed the food next to her bed so as not to wake Mask up. Just as he was about to turn away, Mask suddenly started talking in her sleep.

"Stay here..."

Lucifer immediately reacted to Mask's words.

"I'm really lonely..."

He could see a few tears flowing from Mask's mask. It turned out that illness could change a person's personality this much.

Lucifer brought the only chair in the room closer to Mask's bed and held her hand. A satisfied smile appeared on Mask's lips.

"Don't worry, we'll get out of here." Lucifer whispered into Mask's ear, not sure if she could hear him or not.

After making sure that Mask was asleep, Lucifer gently pulled his hand away and walked out of her room and back to his own.

Lucifer's face immediately became serious after getting back to his room. He had known that 3 days later, many people would be brought here.

'3 days later is the end of Hell.'
