It had turned into liquid, constantly twisting as it fused with Lu Ce’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xie Antong and Chiyo Eine, an incredibly bizarre and maddening scene was unfolding—the mask had become his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the meaning of Overload. A mask worn too long becomes your face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His facial features were continuously changing, as if being reshaped manually—his cheekbones rose, and his chin gradually sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were squinting with a smile, as if the grin had been permanently carved into his face. Nothing could shake the feeling that he was mocking the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nose curled upward, like the joker in a deck of cards, sniffing the scent in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe… the air here is great, filled with the smell of unrest…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahahaha! What a wonderful place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue face suppressed a low laugh, the smile widening until his whole body trembled, and finally, he burst into loud laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, his audience didn’t feel awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: Did he… just snap?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: What does this mean? Why did the mask fuse with his face? That’s kind of terrifying.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: Why can’t I laugh when I see him laugh? This is just creepy.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【: Honestly, every time I see things from \"Sin's\" perspective, I treat him like the final boss. Honestly, he's looking more and more like it.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the viewers—mere spectators—could tell something was seriously off, not to mention the two standing nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Chiyo Eine and Xie Antong were unsure how to react, Lu Ce’s laughter suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That abrupt end made it feel like the air had been sucked out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly looked up at Chiyo Eine in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is it that people with a sense of humor are always so rare in this world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guys are really no fun. People without a sense of humor—I’d charge them the highest price even if it’s just business.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why aren’t you laughing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, eyes locked onto Chiyo Eine. Under his gaze, she felt completely unsafe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe… hehehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, “Sin” started laughing. This time, the laughter had a strange rhythm to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bizarre rhythm echoed inside both women’s minds, as if a voice was laughing in their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, they felt their minds flood with madness, like something was laughing non-stop, making it impossible to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Xie Antong—she felt it most intensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She touched the corner of her lips and was shocked to find they were turning up into a smile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe… hehehehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another laugh rang out in the area—Chiyo Eine quickly reached for her face and found that her mouth was open in a laugh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene was utterly bizarre—her upper face full of vigilance, but her mouth involuntarily curved into a grin, letting out laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine was horrified and instantly burst into a splash of water, reassembling herself on the other side, clutching her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pool of Black Water suddenly appeared at Lu Ce’s feet. Countless black arms reached out and clung tightly to his legs, then started tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But “Sin” didn’t react at all. He let them hold him as he turned to look at Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong’s brain was still under her control. She hadn’t started laughing, but meeting “Sin’s” gaze gave her the illusion of staring straight at death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sin” raised his hand slowly, lifting the earpiece in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of insight hit Xie Antong. She quickly raised her own matching earpiece to show she was an ally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” Greed looked at the earpiece in his hand and placed it against his ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you’re one of us. I guess I can’t kill you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong hesitated, then replied after some thought, “He never said he wouldn’t kill me, but he did ask me for that earpiece.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha!” Greed laughed out loud, pointing at Xie Antong as he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Smart girl. Too bad you're still too serious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But he is him, and I am me. Don’t you think... you should pay me a little something to spare your life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong elegantly tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, her gesture refined, like another personality had taken over. She replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think I can point you to someone else. They might have more of what you’re looking for—money to spare their lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you’re not him, since he sent you out, what he said earlier must still matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sin” didn’t respond. He simply walked forward, the distance between them slowly closing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong instinctively wanted to step back, but she held her ground. Her feet felt rooted in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her instincts told her that if she took even one step back now, she’d lose the right to stand before this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue mask—or rather, the face—moved closer. Their faces were nearly touching! “Sin” finally spoke with a grin:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha! Impressive. Just teasing you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am him, and he is me. We’re one and the same—maybe just a tiny bit different.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I know you. Your name is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, guess I’m not supposed to say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No worries. Happy to work with you. Let’s continue later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned his head to look at Chiyo Eine again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, where’s your payment for your life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine’s eyes almost popped out—her earlier restraints on “Sin” had done nothing at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just walked forward. With every step, countless black hands on the ground were torn off. Who knew how many he had ripped apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine was drenched in sweat. The binding she cast looked simple, but she had given it her all. And yet, it had no effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know how to answer “Sin’s” question. She didn’t know how to talk to a lunatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, the man before her was already insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat dripped into her eyes, stinging her corneas. She blinked instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that blink—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she opened her eyes again, she nearly screamed her soul out. A massive blue face was right in front of hers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I asked you, where’s your payment for your life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy could teleport?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no time to think, a massive tentacle burst out of the Black Water, slicing through the air toward him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sin” didn’t move at all, letting the monstrous thing lash him. A thunderous boom rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tentacle exploded into a splash of water, but “Sin’s” body didn’t budge an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyo Eine was instantly shocked. But then—her wrist ached. She looked down—her wrist was caught in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>",1090,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","d951f4044ed22fc049b172cfea05319e16cb4cc6ce114d199fdbf22fe3a51353","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-199","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-197",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
