So he knew from the beginning that I was coming?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he's called Know-it-All. Looks like he really does know everything around here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, Xie Antong raised the status of Know-it-All in her heart quite a bit and started to feel a bit of respect and wariness toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just nodded slightly and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sorry to keep you waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All was dumbfounded. Did he just speak in human language?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had clearly asked why she came back so quickly, so why did she respond with \"sorry to keep you waiting\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the h**l does this person’s brain work? Whatever, she’s clearly a lunatic—might as well get down to business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that posture, Know-it-All’s eyelid twitched for no reason. He thought, why does she suddenly seem kind of normal this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He curled his lip and pointed to a cup of tea on the table, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still want a drink?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong looked at that terrifying-looking liquid and replied with a grim expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um, can I not drink it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you nuts? Drink it or don’t, up to you.\" As he spoke, Know-it-All took the tea off the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I don't want to waste time talking nonsense. Since you're here so quickly, let’s get straight to the point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\" Xie Antong nodded and looked at him seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like she’s triggered the game plot and it's time for the next step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Know-it-All was also staring at her, waiting for her to speak or take out the earphones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them just stared at each other—big eyes staring into small eyes—and neither said a word for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like they were in a competition to see who had more patience. The scene was hilariously awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong felt quite calm inside. She thought this might be his style, or maybe he was trying to test her with eye contact or read her somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she opened her clear eyes wide and looked at him sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her innocent and earnest expression, he started to wonder if he was the one with the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait... what do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do I mean?\" Xie Antong didn’t quite get it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch, why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong frowned slightly. Why was she here? She just wanted to talk with the person who knew the most to see if she could analyze anything useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he already claimed to know she’d come, then she should go with his version of the story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think I came here for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he really felt like his beautiful day went to sh*t the moment he met this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This person’s brain had clearly been messed up from the start. He was already annoyed, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, her attitude had done a complete 180 and suddenly became super respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea how to respond, just looked totally pained, and finally said helplessly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The earphones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? What chicken?\" The sudden word left Xie Antong confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The f***ing earphones! What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong frowned deeply, trying to figure out what he meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking about how she used to interact with \"Sin,\" she realized that when it comes to weird people like this, it’s better to just ask directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What earphones? Why would I give you any?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All: Huh??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From today on, he figured his nickname couldn’t be Know-it-All anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, there was one thing he definitely didn’t understand—and that was this woman’s brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean why? How the f**k would I know!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All couldn’t hold it in anymore. He was about to slam the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you trying to back out? Bringing up all this useless nonsense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and give me the earphones and the payment. You know what happens in this prison if you try to stiff me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quit beating around the bush!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re saying, I give you the earphones, and then I have to pay you too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... can I choose not to give you the earphones?\" Xie Antong tested cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Know-it-All: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face started to twist visibly. He really didn’t get it anymore!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then! What the f**k did you come here for?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?! Are you out of your f***ing mind? Do you seriously think, compared to that idiot prison guard, I look easier to deal with?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said you were coming to give me earphones, and now you’re here just to screw with me? You think I don’t know how to spell the word ‘death’?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, radiating an explosive aura. Xie Antong instantly sensed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was too much information packed into that one sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a second! Are you saying that earlier, I told you I’d give you a pair of earphones?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t tell me you’ve got amnesia. What, you a goldfish now? Forgot it all in a few minutes?\" Know-it-All growled through clenched teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of realization hit Xie Antong—earphones… What other earphones could there be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be the communication one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was so stupid, thinking she could have an easy time in a game that guy was involved in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could that be possible? There’s no way that guy would ever behave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earlier, ‘I’ said I’d give you a pair of earphones to hold onto temporarily, and then when I come back next time, you return them to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then, I’m supposed to pay you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she thought of Sin, the whole situation suddenly made sense. That guy had even turned into her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know what kind of new ability that was, but if it was him, then anything was possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right...\" Know-it-All’s expression softened slightly. But he still felt like he was being played with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I think... this isn’t reasonable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she noticed his face darken, so she quickly added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen to me. Think about it—if I give you a pair of earphones and ask you to give them back next time, what’s my intention?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re asking me?!\" Know-it-All nearly laughed from the rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obviously, it's because I think it’s too risky to keep it with me—it might get found—so I want you to help store it. The important part isn’t giving it to you, but getting it back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Getting it back is my goal. So I think, I should only pay you when I get it back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, if I pay you now and you lose my stuff, who am I supposed to go to? Right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong’s brain quickly caught up, and she was ready to kick the ball back to “Sin” and start haggling over the deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m the one who has to pay?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1158,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","83f5ce3f114b3f07a137c8e0f7c8a3f69f7dba1b2d9c5eef24ee2d8f7136c97b","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-232","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-230",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
