"Then why... didn't I feel... pain just now?" Jiang Yu asked in confusion.
"Just now you were in a state of adrenaline rush, so the pain wasn't obvious... but now, after the adrenaline has receded, the accumulated pain has erupted all at once—even if the wound has healed." Lilith said, "You need to learn to adapt to pain... or you could learn to enjoy it, like I do. Then this negative effect wouldn't be negative anymore; it would become a reward instead."
As Lilith spoke, a smile akin to a psychopath appeared on her face, causing Jiang Yu to shudder internally, and even the painful, itchy, numbing feeling in her arms seemed to lessen considerably.
"Actually, there's another way." Lilith put away the psychotic smile and said seriously, "This pain mostly comes from nerve responses—your arm doesn't really hurt, but your pain nerves are continuously sending signals to your brain... Um, it's a bit like 'phantom limb pain.' Do you know what 'phantom limb' is?"
Jiang Yu nodded.
