It descended upon Tokyo, everyone knew that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without a Hunter, what’s the point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is a Hunter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, alright, someone might be asking—what exactly is a Hunter?\" Lu Ce continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, it's simple. The game says we players are the Prey, and we have to survive the Hunt by Hunters for 24 hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, that’s it. But now the situation’s changed. In fact, there are no Hunters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the twist is—Hunters are Prey, and Prey are Hunters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re being hunted, but we also have to hunt others. This game is essentially a 100-player battle royale to see who survives in the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, after he finished speaking, “Sin” didn’t do anything else—he started clapping by himself, and the entire sky above Tokyo echoed with “clap clap clap” sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crowd: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sun” stood under the Tokyo Tower like some brute, looking up at the sound. Then he suddenly cursed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s it? He called us over here just to explain that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Must be out of his f***ing mind. He could’ve said this without calling us, couldn’t he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Changkong floated in the air on a silver hoverboard, glanced at Sun and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn’t actually call us over, you know.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun instantly froze, speechless for a moment—after all, the guy really had just said, “You know where I am.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting a bit flustered and angry, he snapped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what! How does he make that claim—that there are no Hunters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from the sky again came a voice, \"Hey! Maybe someone’s about to ask again—how can you be sure? What makes you think your judgment is correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are two reasons. The lesser one being, some of us, myself included, never hid our identities from the beginning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But not once did any Hunter show up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the main reason is—this is just my deduction. I figured it out, so of course, you’ve got to believe it. No problem at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of reasoning clearly didn’t sit well with the crowd. Reno’s brow furrowed deeply, sensing something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So gathering us here was really just for leisure?\" Sun spat on the ground after seeing the guy seemed done talking—completely lacking manners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Maybe now a player’s gonna ask—then why did I reveal my location and lure players over earlier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You motherf***er!\" Sun lost it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This part’s the simplest, hehehe.\" An eerie laugh echoed from the Tokyo Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I’m the Hunter. At the top of the food chain. Gathering up all these guys naturally means throwing them in one pot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give me a minute—I’ll go down there and take care of them all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then get the h**l down here already!\" Sun cursed from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, I suggest everyone, now that you know the game’s true objective, stop hesitating and start making moves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the mission for Prey has already been issued, and every one of you is also a Hunter~.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can’t even hunt a single Prey, there’ll be a little punishment, heh heh. It is a Hell Mode Game, after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I believe that among the people here, some are aiming for Perfect Completion. I’m one of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The condition for Perfect Completion is likely: kill the other Prey and survive as the only one left~.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, wicked laughter drifted across the sky over Tokyo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As those words ended, the broadcast cut off. The three people below—instantly—had their expressions change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if what “Sin” said was questionable, even if they didn’t fully believe him.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Perfect Completion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any game, only one person can achieve Perfect Completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After today, the Peak Ranking may just get reshuffled....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the crowd, Xie Antong was briefly dazed after hearing all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That doesn’t sound right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does it feel like... this isn’t “Sin’s” level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sin’s” interpretation of the game was understandable, but Xie Antong couldn’t help but feel that between the lines of the initial rules, wasn’t there already guidance hinting at this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t we be questioning whether this is a misdirection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, why did they get someone to read the rules at the beginning? Why did they pick an ordinary person who hadn’t been Chosen? Why use a taxi for pickup? These suspicious details still haven’t been explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we go by “Sin’s” interpretation, then all of that would be meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, which Mask are you wearing?......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s your goal? Just trying to simplify things? Or am I overthinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe...... fraud?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t be sure. But regardless, the objective “Sin” wanted to achieve had already been achieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the plaza, the atmosphere among the three had turned razor-sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After “Sin’s” earlier deconstruction, their relationship had shifted from a fleeting “possible alliance” to deadly competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the outer rings of spectators, several layers deep, didn’t share in this tension—they only found it entertaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was truly a rare event in human history. Supernatural power and actions had descended upon the world, like a festival of chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the people on stage, including the one who spoke, were all top-ranked globally!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant—cheers, commotion, people swarming. It was as if they didn’t even know what fear was. They just felt the thrill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reno furrowed his brow, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this what Tokyo citizens are like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun’s expression grew more and more twisted. He lit a fireball in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re so f***ing noisy... how about....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the fireball in his hand swelled violently in the wind! In seconds, it had become a ten-meter-wide miniature sun. He raised it above his head, radiating searing heat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I throw this, it’s gonna be on international news, hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun suddenly burst into wild laughter. His face twisted into madness. Reno and Wu Changkong both froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t expected this guy to actually move against ordinary civilians! That was completely unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Sun was about to throw it, a black pool suddenly formed at his feet. Pitch-black tentacles twisted up and entangled him, locking him in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullying the weak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t allow you to harm our citizens on this land.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold, clear voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman in a long black dress stepped forward from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——No.3 Chiyo Eine!\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","63493849f4fb326dc9a8f55ad2cb067aa3991bb9a29541fd1eac600abbe0c462","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-173","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-171",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
