Silver Wolf: "Alright, isn't this all stuff that hasn't happened yet?"
Silver Wolf: "Don't get too self-inserted when watching videos."
Silver Wolf: "Otherwise, getting depressed is not a good thing."
Boothill: "Son of a nice lady, this monster was imprisoned for hundreds of years, suffered hundreds of years of torture, and is still this energetic the moment he gets out?"
Boothill: "The Judge lady's strike just now was so fast it was practically an afterimage."
Boothill: "And it was blocked by that Wubbaboo-looking thing so easily!"
Feixiao: "Did you guys miss a detail?"
Feixiao: "Hoolay absorbed the blood of the pack members who rushed in to rescue him at the very beginning."
Feixiao: "That's how he rid himself of his weakened state."
Diluc Ragnvindr: "Showing no mercy even when killing his own kin—truly a brutal demon!"
Ningguang: "But even so, his pack members still showed immense fanaticism toward his return."
Ningguang: "What a terrifying race."
Jiaoqiu: "The Borisin are like that. Bloody and cruel to their own, and even more so to outsiders."

『 [ How many years has the old verdant home(Verdantia) spun around since our last hunt? Ah, Duran's whelp(scions of Borisin)! Tell me your name! ]
Hoolay looked at Mok Tok, questioning him.
[ O, Great Hoolay, nemesis of the foxians, and the hunter of all beings, I'm Mok Tok, a humble counselor of the Rhinohound Pack. I am only one insignificant heir spawned from your bloodline. ]
[ It's been... at least seven centuries since you led our Pack through the hunting grounds of the stars. I'm thrilled to see that you are as cunning and skillful as ever. ] 』

Mualani: "Why does this Borisin talk so weirdly?"
Paimon: "Uh… It's the first time I've seen someone use 'cunning and skillful' as a compliment."
Furina de Fontaine: "How many times has the old verdant home spun around?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Is that the Borisin dialect for asking about time?"
Hu Tao: "This Hoolay looks completely fine right now."
Hu Tao: "Seven hundred years of torture, and it really didn't cause him any lasting damage?"
Zhongli: "From this, I see the immense power of Abundance!"
Zhongli: "That is a resilient vitality, uncorrupted by the passage of time."
Dr. Veritas Ratio: "And this is merely an insignificant sliver of the Abundance's gift."
Mavuika: "The mighty power of Aeons is truly incomprehensible."
Mavuika: "But even such existences can fall…"
Mavuika: "That is what's even more shocking."
Acheron: "No, the power bestowed by the Aeons is indeed strong."
Acheron: "But this Hoolay is not actually as fine as he appears."
Acheron: "Imprisoned for seven hundred years, this should be his weakest moment."
Feixiao: "Correct. Hoolay at his peak was far more terrifying than he is now."
Feixiao: "When he walked upon the battlefield, he was the most horrific existence."
Stelle: "But he was still captured alive by Jingliu, the former Sword Champion of the Luofu."
Stelle: "From this, it's clear that the former Sword Champion is even stronger!"
Navia Caspar: "No wonder the last rule on the visitation taboos from earlier said: 'Prohibit mentioning Jingliu in front of Hoolay.'"
Navia Caspar: "Is it because, to Hoolay, Jingliu has become an indelible shadow in his heart?"
Navia Caspar: "Hearing those two words might make him go wild?"
March 7th: "As expected of General Jing Yuan's master, she's so amazing!"
March 7th: "It's just a pity she's now a fugitive of the Xianzhou. Otherwise, I'd really want to learn a few moves from this legendary Sword Champion!"
....
『 [ Seven hundred years… Seven hundred years have passed. Why has a whelp of the Du'lan grown to look like this? ]
[ Answer me, Mok Tok. Why do you look like our most despicable slaves and enemies—the Foxians? ]
Hoolay looked at Mok Tok's appearance, and anger began to rise within him.
[ I was ordered to come and release you from this abominable prison. ]
[ This was destined by Sain(Fate)Jiyaa's will. ]
[ To do this, I had to swallow a magic elixir, put on the skin of a beast, and use a disguise to deal with their hypocrisy. ]
Facing Hoolay's questioning, Mok Tok hurriedly explained.
[ Since you have an escape plan, tell me, what's our next move to get off of this ridiculously large ship? ]
Having heard the explanation, Hoolay temporarily calmed his anger.
[ My brothers and I will seal the gates of this prison, suffocating the jailers inside. ]
[ This will buy us some temporary breathing room. ]
[ The brothers disguised like me will prepare vessels for your escape. ]
[ According to the plan, we have a total of two hours to leave this place. ]
[ Originally, I planned to execute the rescue tomorrow. However, they intend to transfer you to the Yaoqing Xianzhou. I had to seize this golden opportunity to liberate you. ] 』

Jiaoqiu: "So they acted early because of this…?"
Moze: "We were indirectly utilized."
Furina de Fontaine: "Then, if Mr. Jiaoqiu and Mr. Moze had gone a bit later, waiting until Yanqing reported the news of Borisin infiltrators on the Luofu, would this situation have been avoided?"
March 7th: "Hmm, if that were the case, General Jing Yuan would have definitely ordered a search."
March 7th: "No matter how well the Borisin hid, some clues would have been found."
Stelle: "The problem is, there are no 'ifs'."
Stelle: "Because no one expected the Borisin to be able to infiltrate the Shackling Prison."
Qingque: "No, it should be said that no one expected the Borisin to disguise themselves as Foxians!"
Qingque: "Look, even Hoolay himself was dumbfounded."
Qingque: "He was so angry he almost slapped this Foxian-looking Mok Tok to death."
Silver Wolf: "In my opinion, these people are just stupid. I'm baffled."
Silver Wolf: "Instead of looking for opportunities during normal times, they chose to jailbreak when three Arbiter-Generals are gathered?"
Silver Wolf: "Do they really think the Emanators of the Hunt are useless?"
Hu Tao: "Didn't they say… behind these people, there might also be a Lord Ravager lurking?"
Jade: "Looking at the current situation, these Borisin are clearly being used as pawns by Phantylia at her whim."
Jade: "Which means there is a high probability that Phantylia will not show up in person."
Jade: "As for the other Lords Ravager, they each have their own tasks. They probably wouldn't join Phantylia in what they see as a boring game."
....
『 [ What a reckless plan, you idiot! Even if we manage to get the ships, our chances of escaping are slimmer than a foxian slipping through my claws! ]
Hoolay scolded Mok Tok, highly dissatisfied with the plan.
[ To rescue you, we had no other choice! The angel serving under the Master of Immortality sent me with a message, 'Only your return will end the prolonged divisions among the borisin.' ]
[ All the brothers on this trip are prepared to sacrifice themselves—as long as it gets you out of here. ]
Mok Tok's attitude was extremely firm, causing Hoolay to look at him with a slight shift in gaze.
[ A sneaky weakling like you is actually showing some reckless bravery with this plan. Fine, you'll get what you want... and all of Duran's whelps will too. ] 』

Kaeya: "As expected of the leader of the Borisin. Although extremely conceited, he is indeed brainier than his subordinates."
Yunli: "This time, the Borisin have really overturned my perception."
Yunli: "Beast-like fellows actually know how to play mind games now!"
Yanqing: "Such Borisin will be even more difficult to deal with."
Feixiao: "Actually, you are mistaken. The Borisin pride themselves as predators. Cunning is engraved in their very bones."
Feixiao: "It's just that on the battlefield in the past, you might have only seen their brutal side."
Furina de Fontaine: "Did you guys see that just now?"
Furina de Fontaine: "Mr. Jiaoqiu was captured by them!"
Fu Xuan: "Hmm… They probably want to use Mr. Jiaoqiu as a hostage."
Stelle: "Despicable. I hate dirty tricks like using hostages to threaten others the most!"
Stelle: "Have the guts to fight a fair match, and see if I don't smash their dog heads!"
....
『 [ Then, My Lord, we should leave. ]
Mok Tok prepared to lead Hoolay away.
[ Before leaving, give me one of those magic pills you swallowed. ]
Hoolay spoke, saying words that shocked Mok Tok to the extreme.
[ You… You actually want to put on the skin of a beast? ]
[ This insults your great status… ]
Mok Tok said with a face full of terror.
[ You idiot! Greatness means nothing without freedom! Once I get out, I'll need a disguise that won't raise any suspicion. ] 』

Aventurine: "Able to bend and stretch, knowing how to assess the situation."
Aventurine: "This Hoolay is a formidable figure."
Topaz: "Setting other things aside, when Hoolay was still around, the Borisin pack's fierce reputation indeed spread far and wide across the cosmos"
Topaz: "And once Hoolay was gone, the Borisin pack rapidly began to decline."
Topaz: "Especially in recent years, they were completely scattered into a disorganized mess by the army led by General Feixiao of the Yaoqing Xianzhou."
Feixiao: "Without Hoolay, the Borisin pack lacked a Warhead."
Feixiao: "Without an existence that could suppress everyone, they would naturally slowly split up."
Stelle: "Then why didn't they elect a new Warhead?"
Stelle: "Is this Warhead title uniquely reserved for Hoolay?"
March 7th: "Uh… I think it might be because, other than Hoolay, there are no Borisin as powerful as him…"
March 7th: "After all, look at this Hoolay. Just his stature alone is vastly different from ordinary Borisin."
Xiangling: "So they would rather run the risk to rescue Hoolay?"
Xiangling: "I hope they absolutely do not succeed in the end!"
Xiangling: "Otherwise, with the revival of the Borisin, many innocent lives in this universe will die again…"
....
『 [ As you command. ]
Mok Tok nodded, took out a pill from his pocket, and handed it to Hoolay.
[ Is that foxian slave my meal? ]
At this moment, Hoolay's cruel gaze swept toward the captured Jiaoqiu.
[ No, he's an envoy from the Xianzhou Yaoqing. I plead you to endure him a bit, my Lord, as he's more valuable as a hostage. Take him, guys! Time to move out! ]
After giving the instruction, Mok Tok began to lead Hoolay outward. 』

Stelle: "…They are leaving!"
Stelle: "Where are the three of us?"
Stelle: "Haven't we arrived yet?"
Hanya: "The place we are at and the location where Hoolay is imprisoned are in two different directions."
Hanya: "The distance between them is not short. Even at full speed, it will take some time."
Dan Heng: "I wonder if we can stop him before Hoolay escapes!"
Silver Wolf: "Looking at the video, your timeline is just a bit slower than theirs."
Silver Wolf: "They started moving over there, and only then did you guys get attacked."
Hu Tao: "This time difference is a bit too much!"
Hu Tao: "Will we make it in time?"
Stelle: "Whether we make it or not, I'm afraid we can only leave it to fate."
....
『 The scene shifted to Stelle's group of three.
At this moment, they had already contacted some of the surviving guards.
[ Madam Hanya, the wardens in all areas are regrouping. Those ingenium enemies are wandering around and causing heavy casualties. ]
[ And to make things worse, those iron wolves broke open the cages and let the criminals out! We've called for backup, but it seems like all communication is jammed. ]
A soldier was urgently reporting the situation to Hanya.
[ Let's preserve our strength and first take down the isolated prisoners. By decree of the Ten Lords, all prison breakers and intruders shall be apprehended, dead or alive. ] 』
『 ....』
—✦Omniscient Viewer's Chat Lodge✦—
Charlotte: "Eh? Those iron wolves also deliberately released other prisoners?"
Wriothesley: "That's not surprising. If it were me, I would do the same."
Wriothesley: "Only then can the prison be thrown into chaos, leaving the guards unable to cope."
Stelle: "But daring to run at this time, unless they really have some skills…"
Stelle: "Otherwise, it's equivalent to throwing their lives away."
Li Sushang: "Did Lady Hanya mean just now that if they encounter escapees, they can kill them on sight?"
March 7th: "That should be what she meant."
Furina de Fontaine: "Oh no, Miss Stelle is still analyzing the situation here."
Furina de Fontaine: "I'm afraid she really won't make it in time to stop Hoolay from escaping!"
Hanya: "With communications deliberately blocked, even if we want to send a message out, it can't be done in a short time."
Welt Yang: "Sigh, this group of Borisin prepared very thoroughly…"
....
『 [ Just a short time ago, the Nether Key mechanism was activated. It was probably Madam Xueyi and the Yaoqing messengers, heading to the bottom of the prison. Given the situation, I'm afraid that area is exactly where our enemies are targeting. ]
An Aurumaton Spectral Envoy stepped forward and reported an even more important piece of news.
[ We must never let that beast escape from its cage! ]
Hearing this, Hanya's expression instantly became extremely grave, and she began to issue orders.
[ We have counted the jailers who can still fight. We are about to deploy to each floor to search and capture. ]
The Aurumaton Spectral Envoy and the soldier received their orders.
[ Go. ]
Hanya nodded, watching her subordinates quickly depart.
[ For those jailbreakers to be so bold, they must have planned this operation for a long time. ]
Dan Heng was deep in thought.
[ You are right. ]
[ It is just strange. The Borisin have always preferred violent slaughter. To formulate such a precise and detailed plan… ]
[ It is unlike their usual style. ]
[ The situation is critical right now. This is not the time to review and analyze. ]
[ You two, please lend me a hand first! ]
Hanya began to request assistance from Stelle and Dan Heng.
[ Sure enough, like I said, wherever we go, we always end up in trouble. ]
After Stelle complained, she nodded and agreed to Hanya's request. 』

Stelle: "No doubt I have to start working again."
Stelle: "But such is the situation; who else but me!"
Stelle: "Do you think the scene in a moment will be me and Hoolay fighting for three hundred rounds, and then I send him flying with one swing of my bat, saving the day, suppressing Hoolay, and rescuing the Shackling Prison?"
Silver Wolf: "Where does this confidence come from?"
Silver Wolf: "Do you really think of yourself as an Emanator?"
Hotaru: "That Hoolay looks very difficult to deal with…"
Hotaru: "But I believe in Stelle!"
Dan Heng: "Stelle has a low probability of defeating Hoolay, but self-preservation shouldn't be a problem."
