You’re faster than me, so go first, loop through each one, and let me know if anything seems off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong was walking alone down the street, her steps slightly unsteady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze was a little unfocused, and she uttered the same question as the last eliminated Player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all the Players, she was the first to see it—she clearly saw the appearance of the “Hunter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a roughly two-meter-tall humanoid-looking thing, entirely blood-red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its torso was quite small, seemingly existing only as a connector for its limbs, and its head was shaped like a triangle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for its limbs—they were four long, massive spikes, like four spears, born for the sole purpose of killing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment ago, her All-Seeing Eye had clearly witnessed its appearance. It had suddenly appeared in the middle of the street, startling everyone around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the civilians had even stepped up to it, pointing in the direction of a Player—and the next instant, it exploded into motion, its spear-like limbs piercing the Player clean through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong had almost never seen a burst of speed at that level. It was too fast—if ranked by Player standards, perhaps only “Sin” could match that velocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing was a Hunter? Then it was clear—Players really should just run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, the All-Seeing Eye delivered an even more grotesque scene to Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing, the creature didn’t immediately look for a new target. Instead, it let out an excited roar and began brutally mutilating the corpse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its four massive, spear-like limbs stabbed at such speed that the eye couldn’t track it. The ground turned blood-red in an instant—it looked like ground meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong felt nauseated at the sight. With a thought, she pulled up the Game Panel, and after a brief pause, quickly wrote:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The true identity of the Hunter is a blood-red creature with spear-like limbs and extremely high speed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she finished writing, the newly added game decryption progress bar jumped from 30% to 31%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Player [Blank] has advanced the game decryption to 31%!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The true identity of the Hunter is a blood-red creature with spear-like limbs and extremely high speed!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game announcement appeared again, this time broadcasting Xie Antong’s guess to all other Players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately perked up—realizing that as long as the progress bar advanced, whatever she wrote down could act as a means of message transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bit more thought, she continued writing on the game interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Player [Blank] has advanced the game decryption to 45%!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Hunter’s appearance condition is likely related to a reduction in “Prey.” Also, the first Hunter is currently slaughtering Players on Kral Street and may be heading south toward Player “Shen Dao’s” location.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time it was a long string of text—the latter part was essentially a warning from 【Blank】 to the other Players!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key issue was—she had to find a way to let the top-tier Players know the Hunter’s location. On her own, there was no way she could handle that kind of killing machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shen Dao” was currently hiding out in an ice cream shop. He hadn’t participated in any fights yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the sudden warning pop up in-game, his whole mind went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell is coming for me?! Who the hell is ‘Blank’? How do they know where I am?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Dao jolted upright in panic and looked toward the north. It still looked calm and peaceful over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tch, what the hell?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cursing, he sat up straighter like a guilty thief, pretending nothing was wrong, and started writing in the game interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is Blank? Do you know me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the “answer” he wrote flickered for a moment—and disappeared without triggering anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he hadn’t advanced the game decryption, so there was no Player broadcast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F**k!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing what happened, he quickly stood up, finished his drink, and headed outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he didn’t notice was that behind him, the shopkeeper was watching his back with a pair of cold, dead eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once Shen Dao had left, the man opened his mouth slightly, as if to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Dao started to run. He arrived at the bus stop. In the sky, the Hunter carved crimson lines, rapidly closing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong, posing as a normal civilian, used her All-Seeing Eye to track Shen Dao’s movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew there were no Players or Hunters near her, and no one was paying attention to her—but she remained cautious, determined to act like a regular civilian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, she had a bad feeling—maybe something the All-Seeing Eye picked up had seeped into her subconscious. She hadn’t fully realized it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Shen Dao looked into the distance and saw a bus approaching—but it didn’t slow down at all, instead speeding past with a roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze, about to curse, when he suddenly whipped around—and came face-to-face with the blood-red creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahhhhhhhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp roar rang in his ears. His eardrums burst instantly, blood gushing out—it felt like he’d been hit by a sonic weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battle instinct kicked in, and twin sabers appeared in his hands! He slashed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp sound echoed—the high-grade weapon shattered into fragments in an instant, and Shen Dao flew backward without any footing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like he was barely hanging on to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong’s heart sank. She only knew about Shen Dao because he was ranked over 2,000 in the world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was 2,000 in the combat category—not like her, a functional-type Player... and he couldn’t even survive one round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart began to turn cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she found her All-Seeing Eye had stopped working—it could no longer follow the battle below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second, the All-Seeing Eye’s perspective began to spin on its own, as if it had been grabbed by something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a menacing Blue Mask filled her field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sin” had arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>",1083,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","bad6476bfa1fb613e99b1c6f8a1b5dadee8c61e075375c61d1038a4bc71c154e","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-190","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-188",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
