I, Luan Feihu, killed Sin! I killed the Strongest Player!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, he shouted like he’d lost his mind. He truly hadn’t expected that this strike would actually land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you stay alert, as long as you’re careful enough—when the opportunity comes, even the smallest of people can kill those that seem unreachable like gods in the sky!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luan Feihu shouted like he was delivering an acceptance speech, cheering for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, a cold voice came from beside his ear, like a basin of cold water in the depths of winter, chilling him from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Sin” who’d had his neck pierced, still wearing that Blue Mask, slowly turned his head, staring into his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you just say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you stay alert, even the smallest person can kill those unreachable figures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luan Feihu’s brain seemed to have stopped functioning. His lips trembled as he stared at the being in front of him, whose throat he had just pierced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the wrist holding his blade was already caught by Lu Ce. Once caught by Lu Ce, it was no different than being welded into an iron wall—completely immobile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a... what... monster...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone turns into a monster in the end,” Lu Ce said. “But what you just said—was good. I agree with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a black blur swept by—a high kick exploded out and smashed into the opponent’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene looked like a sledgehammer smashing a watermelon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce stood there coldly, watching a headless corpse collapse onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a shame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He almost succeeded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he had, would your plans have failed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he took out the Dice of Fate and tossed it into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it landed back in his hand, it showed a precise “1”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce was still talking to the sky, muttering to himself, possibly having a mental episode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he pulled out a bottle of Advanced Healing Potion and poured it down, and while doing so, yanked the dagger from his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Chosen’s Game had already turned the impossible into possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The neck—a fatal spot—could still be survivable as long as the time window was short, just like with Reno before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless your head was chopped off instantly, nothing was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting for his body to heal, Lu Ce pressed a hand against his mask. The radiance on it seemed to have gone berserk, completely out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Calm down, calm down, it’s not time yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke softly, as if soothing a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we’re going to be used, then we’d better maximize our own gains...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Blue Mask, the light shimmered dangerously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Blue (KAITO) — Greed! (Can enter Overload Mode at any time)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already experienced the personality effects and functions of this mask—an old acquaintance from his very first game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the overload standard... was extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Overload Mode: All stats boosted (base ability shared across all masks), enhanced vitality and self-healing.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Overload Personality: Peak of Greed. Enjoys chaos and madness. Order is a restriction on profit, so it despises order. Rationality will be suppressed to its lowest limit.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Overload Special Ability: Chaos Trigger—wherever you walk, madness follows. Fortunate: when you care about nothing, your luck skyrockets.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Warning: Overload Mode is a special kind of “energy.” If the energy is not fully consumed, exiting Overload will be impossible and may result in severe consequences...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Extremely dangerous. Absolutely do not attempt lightly.”】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Overload description for the Greed Mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, even Lu Ce was a little startled when he saw it. To him, these abilities—and side effects—were just too intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So intense, he felt lucky he got Greed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Masks like Wrath? He’d have to be extremely cautious with those.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he’d already prepared for Overload from the start, he now had to accelerate the game’s spiral into chaos, to find a release—or else, he wouldn’t be able to bear the constant Overload state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey.” After calming himself down, Lu Ce stepped over the corpse and walked forward, starting to connect with the Black Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, it really breaks my heart when you just hang up like that,” the Black Knight answered in his usual tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, are you confident you already know the real answer to this game? Why aren’t you rushing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not totally sure yet,” Lu Ce replied. “But I’ve more or less figured out the concept of this game. Heh, a real-life game. I’m being used by the game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just gave someone a small opportunity—but he failed. Didn’t kill me. So I guess, for now, we’ll have to let ourselves be used.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” The Black Knight seemed to not understand at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to worry about that. Tell me, done shopping?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Almost. Same as usual, though now people’s desire to kill each other has gone down a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they chatted, another special message came through in the game feed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The thirty-eighth Eliminated Player has been born!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Killer — Hunter!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ahhhhhhh! What the...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a player’s scream rang out. Clearly something had happened at the moment of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce snorted coldly and looked down. One of the glowing dots suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From past experience, this indicated a Player death. His monitor, it seemed, had nothing else to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This should be the place...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Black Knight, you go first. Here’s a coordinate—I’ll follow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked up again, glancing at the night sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you—I’m a Hunter. Did you think I was joking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s start the counter-hunt. Give me the mask that’s ready for Overload... time to warm up.”\u003C\u002Fp>",994,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff3349e7f538bef89f3b67859abd7a2d4fd8b8066fb73c1f602837e158f0c954","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-189","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-187",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
