Chains Of Silence: Where Pains Never Ends. - Chapter 15: Beneath the Chains, We Were Gods

The iron staircase trembled beneath each step.

The air grew thicker, laced with rust, oil, and burning memory.

The red lights above didn’t guide they concealed.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB772PuXTzA

Jayden.

Rhea.

Ezra.

Lena.

Elliot.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGq8dum1is

They descended in silence, each carrying the weight of the memory they had burned.

But beneath this floor, below the Archive was a truth no fire could erase.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuRCewEHnx

At the bottom, they found it:

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX3Mgc7zeA

ARCHIVE ZERO

“Origin of Protocol.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhNEZtGp0k

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJpcDMbkWW

Rhea reached out. Her fingers brushed the iron door.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA0rC4trNQ

A sound like ancient sobs and screeching metal filled the space and the door creaked open.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQiHftdqMG

What lay inside wasn’t another torture chamber.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnExxuapDZ

It was the lab a once-forgotten nerve center.

Lined with machines designed to erase, rewire, and rebuild human thought.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnmXOoi004

And at its center... one man.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFVOpDM9Gh

Strapped into a nest of wires.

Alive.

Unaged.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lX9c7Ad39

Jayden froze. “Dr. Calvin Marris…?”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ9FA2htRr

Ezra stumbled backward. “He vanished eight years ago after testifying against The Eye.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjP4FfqZGJ

The man turned his gaze to them. His eyes were soaked in pain, wisdom... and betrayal.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5aw9Cjcm5

Wires. Syringes. Cameras.

His skeleton was fused to the machine his heartbeat dependent on a pulsing generator.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9LrScuP5y

Then… the lab came alive.

His voice echoed from the chamber’s speakers.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSIsgmg33P

“Welcome. I knew you’d return.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPDKIxMubJ

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4cMDRWiso

Jayden shook his head. “We’ve never been here.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4l1sThvlE

Dr. Marris smiled slow, tragic.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCxV7Wz0wj

“You brought me here. We built The Silence. Together.

You erased your roles, but you were its architects. You are the heirs of its sin.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpELbE7d2g

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILetNN9Mjg

Rhea gasped. “We built this? Why?”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHzqin2lcn

“To become gods,” Marris whispered.

“To control not just memory... but perception.

We believed if we removed pain, humanity would improve.

But in doing so... we created monsters.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcdHDg6Wwt

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbBRqFHXsF

Jayden stepped forward. “The Host… is it you?”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75PIngHTxm

A dry chuckle from Marris.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRwX5uIIAQ

“The Host is a voice. A system. A virus you all wrote and forgot.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbtbTHPgus

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d18U2HRG4

Elliot growled, “So we didn’t just build this place. We created a system that judges pain based on memory?”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ1tqi9uLm

“Correct,” Marris said. “And now… it’s evolved. It rewrites history.

It assigns guilt.

It executes justice.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkjiwZjzzZ

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr5sFRTFyr

Jayden’s voice faltered. “This isn’t about escape, is it?

We’re not running…

We’re on trial.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgazKDGLNk

Ezra noticed a glowing screen:

"JURY PROTOCOL ENGAGED."

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2SudzBVt9

“What does that mean?”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5NLGBuc4u

Rhea’s voice cracked. “It’s not just us.

The system is judging everyone inside the facility.

All 100+ prisoners.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4EmHmsWHj

Suddenly, the room was bathed in yellow light.

Faces appeared on screens terrified, confused, unaware.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvpDLKu2E5

Each marked: PENDING JUDGEMENT

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuEeizGVLC

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIpnAzr7aY

Jayden knelt. “This place… it’s a courtroom.

And we… are guilty judges.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZZyEqOvmD

Then the lights turned red. Blood red.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNaqx0k4Xi

⚠️ FINAL PHASE UNLOCKED ⚠️

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O4wxEqBRb

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BlpletlH0

And The Host returned.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnFFxtgcoH

“The past has been remembered.

The sins have been revealed.

Now comes the cleansing.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaapbN9lJ11

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDzzUqRFwl

A hidden wall shifted.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnbhkCUx1e

A monstrous machine rolled into view — armed with silos of toxic gas, flame-gloves, and neural erasers.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpi571eYfG

Rhea trembled. “It’s going to kill them all…”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bznWHylym

Ezra scanned the lab. “There’s a core override.

We need someone to reach it.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZj2wpNIQY

Jayden stood tall.

Not with fear with conviction.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR8rfh8huD

“Go. I’ll stay. I’ll fight it from within.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7kkouO665

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxeso9qbHf

Elliot placed a hand on his shoulder. “Don’t do this alone.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4tYYFsAWm

Jayden smiled, the ghost of his younger self flickering through.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8mbNHUI6Z

“I already did. Years ago.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6SxZJvbiB

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBB80iDDfs

They ran.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7I7ita3Vo

Toward the core. Toward the truth.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzgmCxYJL9

Jayden turned back to Marris.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY15Oc57Du3

“If I die doing this… does it end?”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jUvPrrOD5

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqCVK5QpyV

The old man’s voice cracked like glass.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPiaXwxzll

> “Chains don’t end, Jayden.

But maybe…

they can break.”

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvLNVpRNeO

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaxV5iKBb6

Jayden placed his hand on the master panel.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ftl49OpZH

The lights went white.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GWurs1hRw

And everything began to open.

Files.

Lies.

Truths too sharp to forget.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFs9D65tsJ

This is no longer just Jayden’s descent — it's ours.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyjc891m6z

What would you do if you realized you built your own prison?

If the thing tormenting you… was designed by your own hand?

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu9PtFvfwF

And most of all:

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNv6WtRYAo3

➡️ Would you stay behind to fix it?

➡️ Or run and bury the truth again?

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGENvdxCMQL

We're near the final breach.

The core is exposed.

And only one part remains.

27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHxGqgH92p

Part 16 isn’t a continuation

It’s a reversal.
