This “Sin”—his methods were downright b*stardly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce was sitting in the back seat now, shoulders trembling slightly, letting out a low chuckle from his throat, lost in his own world, laughing to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Total lunatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald guy had no idea what was going on, and he didn’t dare ask, didn’t dare speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: Hahaha, poor Bald Qiang. Classic “grab a random guy and torment him” move.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: Comedy gold—watching a mafia boss get trained into an elementary schooler by Mr. “Sin”.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: The way he’s blinking and doesn’t dare speak... kinda cute, wanna simp.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: ...Unreal!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lu Ce kept laughing nonstop, he finally slowed down a bit, tilted his head, and glanced over at the bald guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why aren’t you talking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bald guy: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, I... maybe I’ve got a sore throat or something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce waved a hand, not bothering to respond to that clumsy excuse, and lightly tapped his own head with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do others—I mean people like you—do they also tell the other players this same info?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald guy stammered a bit and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They should... should be, yeah. Anyway, that’s what the game says. I definitely didn’t make anything up. I’m just repeating what I was told.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce thought for a moment. Honestly, it was pretty obvious—assuming the bald guy wasn’t lying, then all hundred players in this game weren’t rookies. They should be able to assess the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, the line about “the fewer survivors, the greater the reward” had a pretty clear implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—It basically encouraged these prey-like players to attack each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those confident in their own strength—they’d have no problem taking out a few other players if the opportunity came up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the hint was so blatant, most people with half a brain would see it. That’s why Lu Ce suspected this might be a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A setup designed to make players slaughter each other?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe the so-called hunter didn’t even exist? That everyone was both hunter and prey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless of whether he was right or wrong, the Greed Mask was extremely satisfied, and a twisted smile slowly crept across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that even if it was a trap—so what? It was fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah... I get it... very good....”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce sat in the backseat, the mask glowing with an eerie and intimidating light, murmuring to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bald guy: What the h*ll do you get?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, he couldn’t actually say that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks for the intel,” Lu Ce said, spinning his gun while casually glancing at the bald guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh... sure... AHH!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was finishing his sentence, he suddenly screamed and jerked his head back in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because right after Lu Ce spoke, his head lunged forward like a teleport, nearly face-to-face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re sure you’re not lying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce moved incredibly fast—so fast the bald guy could almost feel the cold mask touch him. The sudden shock nearly made him pass out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“N-no... I’m not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heartbeat was about to explode, but considering the man in front of him, he had no choice but to answer as calmly as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just answer whatever he asks. Who cares if it makes sense...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oi, alright.” Lu Ce nodded. “So, the chest marker you mentioned—what is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, you can just look down,” the bald guy said, pointing at Lu Ce’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his head slightly and noticed that there was a pentagram-shaped brooch, about the size of a fist, pinned to his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the badge assigned to each person—it’s part of the game. Make sure you protect it. If it’s damaged, you’re out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe with your strength, killing you outright would be tough, but that thing’s fragile. Also, it can’t be stored in your backpack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that “Sin” was finally paying attention to the most critical item, the bald guy jumped straight into NPC mode and started explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.” Lu Ce fiddled with the medal hanging in front of him, showing no particular reaction. He just pulled out that die again and tossed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hit the floor. Still rolled a one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce glanced up at him with a playful look and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This stuff doesn’t matter. Also, take me to find some other players. Should be possible, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh...” The bald guy clearly froze for a second, then cautiously said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, I don’t know where the other players are. I can’t find them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you can contact me anytime. According to the game rules, I might have...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re being dishonest.” Lu Ce cut him off. The smiling face on the blue mask twisted continuously as he picked up the die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You lied......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, in this game, what matters isn’t what the game wants—it’s what I want......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald guy, who had finally calmed down a bit, suddenly felt a chill crawl across his whole body. But before he could even try to argue, Lu Ce’s voice continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll talk about all that later. For now... do you have a knife?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald guy shuddered. “No—it’s not that I don’t want to help you find other players, it’s just...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d prefer if we could skip all the useless chatter if you do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bald guy: .......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t dare say another word. That feeling—like being trapped with a beast—told him resistance was pointless. Hands trembling a little, he reached into the glove box and pulled out a dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy already had a gun—what difference did a knife make?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want a knife... for what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around cautiously, only to see a sight that made his pupils quake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, “Sin” had already peeled off his shirt, revealing a pale but muscular chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue mask wore a faint, ambiguous smile—an incredibly bizarre grin—as he stared straight at the bald brute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bald guy: ???\u003C\u002Fp>",1068,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","cee94d8678fa5a522470f7610d72c699d1ad8aaa1d5eb29b920a969ab8e8126c","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-164","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-162",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
