Dust filled the air, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, no one dared to approach the pit to look, but the All-Seeing Eye did. It flew swiftly, pierced through the dust, and entered the deep pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What it saw was a shattered ground and splattered blood, but those muffled booms still continued relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud... thud...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That amount of blood...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough... what’re you staring at!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was pitch black, the voice in her ear told Xie Antong that the man in the mask was still alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know why, but her tightly clenched heart seemed to loosen just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If “Sin” had died here, this game might have truly been a death trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every venting punch, Lu Ce felt as if the madness inside him had slightly been released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the “Hunter” beneath him could no longer stand. Its pained shrieks were growing weaker, until eventually, they couldn’t be heard at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oppressive aura it emitted—capable of suppressing all players—was now utterly crushed by Lu Ce’s Godslayer Badge, unable to activate at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lu Ce’s body was now riddled with holes, like a sieve, if not for his ability to pop a pill, his only path would’ve been death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was a game—none of the normal rules applied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Lu Ce outlived his opponent, he won!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No time to think, he twisted open a bottle of Advanced Healing Potion and poured it down his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept a tight grip on the All-Seeing Eye in his hand, just to avoid leaving the woman with any blackmail-worthy footage of him in this state. Who knew how long she’d keep it for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he chugged it too fast—Lu Ce choked and started coughing violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Xie Antong slightly opened her mouth, focusing hard on the completely blackened screen, listening to the coughing sound inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a global announcement echoed for all players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Prey [Sin], has slain the Hunter!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【First Kill Achieved!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The calm voice echoed in every player’s mind—but it rang out like thunder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every player, whether fleeing, hiding, or fighting someone else, all stopped at the same time, their pupils dilating instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followed by disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way?! If the Hunter in this game can be killed, then what’s the point of the setup?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy again—making headlines, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?... Sin? He’s not the Hunter, right? Is this guy just screwing around? Why’s he killing both Hunter and Prey?!\" — that was the reaction from those still clueless about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine, on the other hand, looked worse than ever. She glanced at her watch, and her eyes slowly turned resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Strongest Player...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, but this time, you have to lose! Even if it’s for the sake of the bigger picture...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong instinctively felt a burst of joy at the sight in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hunter was dead!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then this game...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But logic quickly reminded her—there was no such thing as a free lunch. And reality soon proved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the dozens of All-Seeing Eyes she had deployed earlier, quite a few were now in position, following players or individuals she deemed suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, at the edges of the city, her surveillance showed at least four more of those same creatures appearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were shrieking, lacking visual systems, wobbling their triangular heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them attacked nearby civilians—they exclusively targeted players! Guided by nearby witnesses, they quickly sprinted toward their targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but they seemed... stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, multiple screens demanded her focus. Her attention was being drained rapidly—right now, she was like a multi-threaded CPU, lagging and skipping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tripped and nearly fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, this thing can’t be that unsolvable. If that were the case, how many can ‘Sin’ even take on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back on everything she’d observed so far, her lips began trembling violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I get it. I get it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These things aren’t traditional lifeforms. If he’s right—Divine Creations... that means, they might not have senses at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These things can’t find players by themselves! They need someone to guide them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And those ‘someone’... are probably Hunters too. But they wouldn’t have that kind of combat ability. Which means, some of the civilians... are Hunters?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong proposed a bold theory in her mind, even startling herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, it all began to make sense. Divine Hunters had high combat power but couldn’t locate players. Civilian Hunters could locate players but couldn’t fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That balanced everything out. It also explained why every player had disguised faces—what the purpose of that really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back, it seemed like every player killed by a Hunter had first been identified by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing... she had stayed well hidden the entire time. No one had exposed her—except Chiyo Eine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait... Chiyo Eine?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden splitting headache struck Xie Antong. Every time she felt like her thoughts were aligning, some inexplicable factor would appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inserting her theory into the system, the game decryption progress immediately rose to 60%, confirming her suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could barely move now. Leaning against a wall, she looked through her All-Seeing Eye. On the other end, the seemingly invincible “Sin” still hadn’t gotten up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still not recovered... the injuries must be extremely severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even he...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong bit her lip and took out another Syringe, hesitating intensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt so close to the truth now. The urge to discover the end was overwhelming—so strong that she wanted to inject herself right then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... would it really be worth it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already knew so much now. She could just follow the original Battle Royale instructions—blend into the crowd, don’t get noticed, survive for 24 hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she had seriously overused her brain this time. She was genuinely worried that the mental backlash would push her to commit suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that would be dark humor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\" Xie Antong scratched her head with a wry smile. \"Am I going crazy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have I played Hell Mode a few too many times? Or has that guy rubbed off on me... I’m starting to consider reckless strategies way too often...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to give up, the steady sound of footsteps echoed down the street in the distance, accompanied by a mocking voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo! Isn’t this the little missy with hidden strength, full of secrets, who’s already cracked most of the puzzles?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not join the Tiandihui? There’s no future rolling with that guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1113,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","e4f1b6c30ad786ef6e2e964e8b71d829c36202efa23d9d6ed49b47592e5b81b0","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-192","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-190",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
