Lu Ce gradually realized he seemed to be lying down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm... looks like a top bunk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of setup was pretty rare. Every time he entered a game, no matter what the rest was like, he was usually standing to hear the info, then transitioning into a scenario.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, why did he go straight into the scenario lying down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The posture felt oddly familiar. It even made him lift his leg slightly to check if it had been chopped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, not this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Welcome, Player, to the game: Kidney Slicer’s Redemption.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Player Task: Lead the others in the prison to escape together.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Prison Guard, the Warden, and the Know-It-All.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【While inside the prison cell, players will be restricted. Only outside can you use your full abilities.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【For details, communicate amicably with your cellmates to gather new information.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This game was being unusually straightforward this time—no flashy opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just threw everything at you inside the game, including the mission, giving off an oddly honest vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the last game’s events had made the game system tone itself down a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce scanned the mission roughly and immediately found it annoying—he had to escape together with everyone else in the prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was even worse than a cooperative mission. It was basically a deadweight-carrying task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fing annoying. A bunch of useless trash, why not just drop dead already? Still here to drag me down—f everything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought popped into Lu Ce’s mind, and even he was startled. His mind went blank for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he was shocked by the bitterness and malice lacing that tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, right, he should have a new mask on, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand to touch his face. The cold touch reassured him a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he’d entered the same game as Xie Antong—if he hadn’t brought a mask, that would’ve been ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the reflection from the broken tiles, he saw the color of the mask on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Pink!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Envy (LUKA)!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Envy—this was the extremity of evil. It represented pure malice and uselessness, a bottomless pit of harm to both self and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the Seven Deadly Sins had its own traits, but what made Envy special was that this emotion almost never brought any benefit to the person feeling it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was purely offensive without defense, hurting others while also hurting yourself. If all the other sins could be somewhat excused, envy was the most senseless one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Sin Mask Form: Envy, Mode: Normal.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Personality Effect: Envy—baseless malice.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ability: Ultimate Envy, Face Switch—your mask can turn into any face, as long as you’re familiar with it and remember its details.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Memory boost.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【When I’m envious, I want to become anyone—except myself.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Side Effect: From now on, all descriptions of good traits will no longer apply to you. All descriptions associated with evil will belong to you. You are humanity’s beast.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You may subconsciously become foul-mouthed, venomous, and passive-aggressive. Your own emotions will also sink into gloom and irritability. Only by spreading negativity to others will you feel any joy.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading the full description, Lu Ce was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sh*t is straight up beast mode!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t a single redeeming feature to this mask. It was pure chaos, so bad that Lu Ce himself was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t the mask supposed to magnify one aspect of your personality?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he really have such a beastly side buried in his humanity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a garbage mask. It’s way worse than the others. And its only function feels totally useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No decent ability at all, and now you’re playing Sichuan opera face changes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mumbled under his breath, already slipping into character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pink mask started to morph into a twisted and miserable expression—perfectly in sync with the mood. (눈益눈)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a f***ing garbage room. What dead-mom architect built this? Even pigs wouldn’t want to live here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fing bunk beds too. How much did that brain-dead warden embezzle? Might as well fing wipe out his whole family!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Escape? Just die here already.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t just thinking those things—he said them out loud, like he was venting the darkness in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t alone in this prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other inmates had been chatting earlier. Now, they all went completely silent, like they had no idea how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone finally turned toward Lu Ce’s bunk. A raspy old voice said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, you sound real fed up with society.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the voice pulled Lu Ce a bit out of his own world. Just now, he had been syncing with the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And truth be told, after just a bit of verbal venom, that internal agitation had eased a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice snapped him back. He tilted his head, poking it out from the bunk to get a better look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning the prison cell, he realized—yeah, there were others here. Besides himself, there were five more people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all looked male. Xie Antong wasn’t among them—maybe she’d been placed in a different prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the game task, which required him to lead the others in escaping, those cellmates were most likely NPCs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought clicked quickly in his mind. The one who’d spoken was an older-looking inmate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two locked eyes for a moment. The old guy might’ve been puzzled by the mask, so he asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s up with the mask? You new? When did you come in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce responded with a sweet and friendly smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know why my great-grandfather lived to be 108?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was dumbfounded, not understanding the sudden change of topic, but he instinctively shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because he never stuck his nose into other people’s business! Whether I wear a mask or not—what the hell does that have to do with you? Mind your own damn business, alright? Talking too much doesn’t make you wise, it makes you annoying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget the old man—even everyone else in the cell was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WTF! This young guy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he landed in prison. That mouth alone deserved a sentence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five pairs of eyes turned in sync to the cold, dingy top bunk. Their expressions were visibly shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they had never seen a weirdo like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce also knew—the game was officially beginning. He adjusted the pink mask on his face, flashed a cold and biting expression, then sat up from the bed, his legs swinging off the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you looking at? Looking for your dad? I didn’t donate sperm these past few years, alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1121,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","f06acb704b6c2daf947625faa11fc5ad1b606abe8e3961f6df7fedd06f79fc15","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-223","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-221",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
