The sun was setting, and it was almost dusk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night was gradually falling, and as the light dimmed, the veneer of civilization on people's faces also began to peel away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more chaotic it was outside, the weaker Lu Ce’s own independent spirit became, and the Greed Mask seemed like it was wrestling for control, getting more and more excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh, looks like last time there weren’t enough people — this mask didn’t have enough fun...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce chuckled softly, and the Black Knight under him roared with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! We’re almost there, but I have a feeling something’s about to go wrong. Is your body gonna hold up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just keep driving — your body might not even be as tough as mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it’s a deal — if I smash something, you gotta fix me up later!\" the Black Knight shouted as he sped like a gust of wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Depends on the price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chatting like this, Lu Ce already spotted a taxi up ahead accelerating suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the road ahead was jammed full of vehicles, all crammed together. The traffic lights at the intersection changed, and countless cars surged in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on tight, don't fall off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Knight shouted excitedly, blue fire blasting out of his exhaust pipe as he sprinted forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weaving through the crowded traffic like a dragon, Lu Ce could clearly feel how many side mirrors his shoulders had snapped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd’s curses and honking gradually faded from his ears; his eyes were locked firmly on that car ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, the accident’s here, just like I thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Knight’s current speed was nearly as fast as a bullet train. Suddenly, a teasing voice rang out, the tone sounding like someone who had already given up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But based on Lu Ce’s previous orders, the Black Knight didn’t slow down at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last T-junction, from a blind spot in his vision, a heavy pickup truck suddenly charged out without warning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Lu Ce’s terrifying reflexes, all he could catch was a blur — a truck charging out — and then, the roar of impact hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deafening crash sounded like two trains colliding — half of the pickup’s body exploded instantly, debris flying everywhere like grenade shrapnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the very last second, the Black Knight twisted slightly, shifting Lu Ce's body just enough to avoid taking the brunt of the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck, bro,\" the Black Knight said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't fall apart yourself!\" Lu Ce laughed back, his gaze never once shifting, locked onto the car ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the horrific crash, Lu Ce’s right leg twisted grotesquely, and his whole body was blasted forward by the shockwave, flying toward that taxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body drew an arc through the air and slammed squarely onto the taxi’s roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The taxi roof caved in with a massive dent. The driver inside looked absolutely terrified, flooring the accelerator and swerving like crazy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal roof screeched as it tore apart. The driver twisted his head around — and his eyes nearly popped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bloody right hand had punched through the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arm ripped open the metal roof, and with a forceful tug, tore a huge hole in the taxi’s top!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Blue Mask jammed into the hole, Lu Ce lying on top of the speeding car, grinned at the driver and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey there, where you running to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like he was telling the guy — run faster! Instantly the taxi maxed out its speed, swerving wildly in the middle of the road, trying to shake Lu Ce off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Ce’s strength? The car roof couldn't hold him at all — the whole shell was ripped open, and half his body squeezed inside through the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t even nighttime yet, but Lu Ce’s appearance was enough to scare the driver like he’d seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, what’re you so afraid of?\" Lu Ce asked, hanging upside down over the passenger seat, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course he was scared, who wouldn't be?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver, completely panicked, suddenly shouted and grabbed a gun hidden under his seat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: ?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pistol was shoved straight at Lu Ce’s head — Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, he flipped into the car, crushed the metal gun barrel with his hand, and a mocking smile appeared beneath the Blue Mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, see me and immediately pull a gun without saying a word. You people definitely have problems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I don't know anything...\" The driver said in terror, watching his gun crushed to bits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never said you knew anything,\" Lu Ce grinned. \"Relax, I know the rules. The game moves forward bit by bit. I’m not even forcing you to confess, hehehe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, where’s the player you picked up just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, Lu Ce grabbed the guy’s shoulder with one hand, gently applying pressure, watching the driver’s face twist in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? That face — hurts, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wasn't it supposed to be impossible for me to hurt you guys? Or is the protection time about to end... heh, you’d better not refuse me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the guy’s resistance crumbled like paper in front of the pain — he couldn't hold on — and his eyes darted toward a street corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce twisted his head and locked eyes with a plain-looking Japanese man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man instantly panicked. The Blue Mask grinned wickedly, nodded at him, then punched the driver’s leg hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The taxi shot forward under the driver’s foot, and Lu Ce wrestled the steering wheel a few times with his other hand, quickly crashing the car right in front of the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce kicked the door open, flipped, and jumped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi there~ Long time no see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce called out to the confused man across from him — the guy’s face clearly saying, \"When have I ever seen you before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, that look... really breaks my heart...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1120,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","f715ba6108854085aa32f07c0d390f6056cd9b3ec58735ac785c9beef1c61e26","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-168","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-166",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
