Though she’d only seen him a few times, it felt like she’d been hearing it for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue mask, a twisted-looking body, filthy on the outside, yet the mask still gave off an overwhelming and domineering presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came from the exact opposite direction of the “Sun.” The two of them seemed to emerge from either side of the street, walking toward the center—toward Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this guy appear, the Sun narrowed his eyes. His whole aura changed in an instant, creating a pressure so intense that even Xie Antong, who was nearby, felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a snort, he looked at Lu Ce and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, you look like a mess. Took a pretty bad hit, huh? You okay? Looks like the guy who hit you wasn’t easy to deal with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You reek of blood too. Looks like the guy who beat you wasn’t easy to deal with either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun: #\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veins on the Sun’s forehead popped. Everyone knew “Sin” had just fought a Hunter, and the last one to fight the Sun was obviously Sin himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong looked at the two who were suddenly on edge. It felt like she was standing in a very dangerous spot—though oddly, she didn’t feel trapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mood was strangely low—so low it felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ninety-five percent... it just means it didn’t hit one hundred. What’s the big deal...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I shouldn’t be feeling this defeated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, she realized something was wrong. If she hadn’t guessed fully, she could just keep trying—so why this overwhelming emotion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be... the side effects had started?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart jumped. It hadn’t been that long since she took the injection—were they already kicking in? If they came this early, she was in serious trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her high rationality and analytical ability instantly helped her notice something else: this wasn’t right—she was clearly still thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the side effects hit her before, she couldn’t control her thoughts at all—there was no “doubt,” no “suspicion,” nothing like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now? She had all of that. The despair, the negative thoughts—they felt forcibly imposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crap! Did I overdose? My current state must be a new variant of the side effects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the very next second, Lu Ce silently lifted a book in his hand—already flipped to page three—facing it toward Xie Antong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, your mental state’s still pretty stable. Impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: #\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She almost laughed out of sheer frustration. So this guy was messing around again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly hopped back a few steps, trying to avoid the book’s light, face grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you stop doing these pointless things?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a former fan and now the lead analyst, she obviously knew what Sin’s props were used for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Confessions of the Disillusioned\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone illuminated by it would become overwhelmed with negative emotions, and even the user would suffer backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for someone like Lu Ce? As long as it was fun to watch, he didn’t care about backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pointless? This is totally useful... I’ve always thought you were way too impatient. Speedrunners always suck the fun out of a game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cut the cr*p already!” This time, it was the Sun who roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rolling his shoulders, all the muscles on his body tensed, and flames reignited all over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We never finished that fight before. You two trying to pull something here? If we’re throwing down—I’m game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his feet, countless lines of flame started spreading. Some reached under Lu Ce’s feet and began to wrap upward—this was a move he hadn’t used before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You call that earlier fight... unresolved?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Greed Mask, a taunting expression appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though both were badly hurt, everyone knew who won that last fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirteen...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong quietly stepped aside, leaning against the wall to recover, then muttered softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those Hunters from before—I saw them. My eyes can see them now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already found at least thirteen more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you two sure you want to fight now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked a little pale, a sheen of sweat on her forehead—as if she’d just seen something terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One-on-one against Sin had already gone that badly, and now she could see at least thirteen more... maybe even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong couldn’t shake the feeling—this game was starting to feel hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should’ve followed the rules. You always play your own way, but this time it looks like you went too far...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unintentionally, she said this to “Sin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game made it very clear—players should hide, escape, and survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t understand why Sin had to make things so chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you really sure about this? Did you already figure out the game’s goal from the start?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lu Ce could answer, the “Sun” spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thirteen? So what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Burn ’em all. Blow ’em all up. What’s the problem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is how the game should be played. No matter how many there are, it won’t stop me from throwing down with this punk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their words were full of tension, the “Sun” seemed to approve of this playstyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then, I’ll throw out a guess at the game’s goal too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Player [Sun] has advanced the game decryption progress to 99%!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hunters are everyone except the prey!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the game’s progress jumped straight to ninety-nine percent. It was a wild guess—but clearly, the Sun was bolder than Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the final voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Player [Sin] has advanced the game decryption progress to 100%!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Hunter is “Tokyo”!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Game Decryption Mode has ended!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, all of Tokyo—went dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already night, but now—it got even darker!\u003C\u002Fp>",978,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","83dd81e457705e5324169e782ef8921f2b2d8df1d8b480f3c0069ac4df563bbf","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-194","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-192",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
