From a time perspective, there’s no one in this world who could believe that the double curve of that bullet just now was actually calculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, in the central plaza, the loudest gunfire... stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reno’s continuous barrage of gunfire came to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze. After all, the sudden disappearance of what sounded like a full-scale battle was... just off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shark Fin skidded across the ground, as if it had noticed something, suddenly leaping out of the earth and staring at Reno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like the battle had hit pause for a split second. All eyes turned to Reno.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body armor—nearly full coverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the front, there weren’t any visible blind spots at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the junction between helmet and torso, where two plates of metal overlapped—there was the tiniest of gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reno's mental state was unstable. Using his powers too intensely always wrecked his mind, but now... he was getting dizzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached up and touched his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was covered in blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakness radiating from his body and the blood on his hand instantly snapped him back to clarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the h*ll did I get injured?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who did this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No time to think. That spot was way too dangerous—anyone would guess the carotid artery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shot to the carotid? That’s game over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he made the most critical decision: disengage the armor at his neck. The armor on his fingers shifted into spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shoved a hand into his own neck, tearing through flesh, and yanked the bullet out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his other hand grabbed a bottle of Advanced Healing Potion and chugged it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Survival first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the weakest moment for him—but no one around attacked, caught off guard in that lightning-flash moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except Xie Antong saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Reno in his weakened state, she lifted her gun again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her hand trembled. After a few shakes, her arm drooped, limp, and even her body wobbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ability was just too f***ing bugged. For a girl who had never fired a gun before to calculate bullet collisions, kinetic decay, and angle shifts—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had drained nearly all of her stamina. But the effect? Oh, it worked beautifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, come on, come on~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feeling good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regret it? Feeling happy? Wanna come over?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wire transfer slip, lighter, Michelin...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, for some reason, those whispers kept echoing in her ear—growing louder, more meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really wanted to lie down. But her survival instincts wouldn’t allow it. Rationally, she knew this was one dangerous battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That strange whispering by her ear... she’d noticed it from the first time she used the All-Seeing Eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time it ended, a wave of depression would follow. And then a voice would echo in her mind: “You’re useless.” “You’re garbage.” “You’re disgusting.” “No one could ever like you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She always thought it was just her own “self-talk,” her inner negativity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the last time—after she faced “Sin,” overdosed on meds—she realized something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That voice was... too real! Like someone was actually whispering in her ear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She should’ve felt afraid. But the crushing despair and self-loathing drowned out the fear. Looking back later, she began to question—was it a hallucination?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, as the potion kicked in, those voices returned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this time, the voice was cheerful. Unlike that depressed tone from before. But she could tell—it was the same person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of... side effect is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As that thought flashed through her mind, she cracked a smile, almost deranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, Twelfth in the World... Twelfth in the World...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I just nearly kill the Twelfth in the World?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was slipping into manic muttering, her expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaotic whispers faded from her ear. Her mind returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she felt like a stranger to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was I just doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was trying to kill someone?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I was thrilled that I almost succeeded?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, she slowly raised her head, quickly restoring composure, a faint smile returning to her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chiyo Eine no longer needed to fight. She simply turned around—and was staring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks for not kicking me while I was down,” Xie Antong said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re welcome...” Chiyo Eine’s expression was complicated. “That just now... was your doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the complex look on her face, Xie Antong didn’t answer directly. Instead, she tilted her head curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you thinking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine: !?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she heard that, she started frantically chanting in her mind again: takoyaki, takoyaki...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fear of mind-reading crept back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, seriously, you don’t have to worry. I really don’t have mind-reading powers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this overly imaginative woman across from her, Xie Antong couldn’t help but find it funny. In the All-Seeing Eye’s amplified brain mode, she was way more laid-back—so she spoke bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chiyo Eine suddenly leapt a huge step backward, shouting in shock:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then how did you know I was worrying you had mind-reading?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You said it earlier...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I didn’t say it just now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does every high-ranking player feel like they’ve got a few screws loose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from Chiyo Eine’s perspective—this woman had teamed up with “Sin” and somehow made the Twelfth in the World lose combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just now, in a few seconds, her face had shifted from despair, to excitement, to joy, to calm—then looked up with a smile...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was 100% a major villain arc!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she really could read minds...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takoyaki...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine gritted her teeth and snapped, “Leave!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leave now. Honestly, I still have plenty of killer moves I haven’t used yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, I know.” Xie Antong nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See! She does know! Chiyo Eine thought bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get away from me. Get away from this battlefield. Go hide out in the Tokyo suburbs and pretend none of this ever happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise... I’ll hold nothing back and kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words were threatening, but her face was filled with unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong wordlessly ran her fingers through her hair, giving her a strange look, then paused for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that last overload... it felt like she’d gotten a little smarter. Some things she hadn’t been able to figure out earlier were clearer now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! Do you think there’s a chance—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That you’re not a player.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1069,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","be96b9811e53b1c2fa9a3d359e74f945d3a34e0698c0d45808df3f220f4df835","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-180","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-178",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
