In this cold and terrifying dungeon, a voice suddenly echoing out was just too spine-chilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creatures carrying Lu Ce froze mid-step, completely unsure of what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had never expected that someone sent here could still speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why’d you all stop? Oh—so you’re not A.I.s. I thought you didn’t have brains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing himself slowly coming back to life, Lu Ce couldn’t help it anymore and started mocking the things that he couldn’t even identify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, that’s just Lu Ce. A normal person couldn’t endure this kind of environment at all, let alone throw out taunts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget everything else—even the viewers in his livestream went silent. The chat was much slower than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was terrified. This wasn’t some virtual image—this was real. These scenes went beyond what could be described as hell on earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was actual hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, seeing this scene, every single viewer fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the true level of Hell Mode. This image screamed at everyone watching: if it were you in there, you could be one of the ones hanging on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Ce didn’t feel that. To him, it just seemed like he had effortlessly broken into the enemy’s weakest lair—and he even felt like throwing in a few insults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you guys can go get some rest now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, you probably don’t understand me anyway. No point wasting my breath. Let’s skip the small talk and get straight to the point, yeah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, his barely recovered right hand suddenly darted downward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed hold of something round and smooth—probably a head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I’ll apologize first. That way you can’t blame me later, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he casually squeezed—and actually popped the thing. Liquid sprayed everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce gave a lazy toss and flung the thing aside. Then he suddenly leapt up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel something strange beneath him. The creatures started squeaking like rats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, blades of light flashed and shot toward him from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Midair, Lu Ce twisted and landed on his feet. His wounds weren’t fully healed yet, but he was already jumping into the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t matter to him. Either way, it was a fight. If it got bad, he could always drink another potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, he hadn’t seen anything in here that could actually threaten him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, not these little runts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him were a bunch of goblin-like creatures. Entirely green, with semi-transparent skin—you could even see things moving inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces were monstrous, with fangs and claws. Barely a meter tall, they didn’t look like anything remotely normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, since entering the game, his tolerance for weirdness had gone way up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these things reminded him of the hunters from the previous game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine creations? That possible? Want to introduce yourselves before I kill you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce casually tossed away the head he’d been holding and stared down the five goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creatures waved their pointy weapons, making frantic gestures and yelling in some weird language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, two of them turned and bolted, while the other three came charging straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t understand a word. Tsk. Can’t the game at least auto-translate your language too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like you guys aren’t just some random mobs, huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lu Ce’s abilities were usable again. He raised a hand and fired off a second-tier Hell Roar, instantly blasting the two goblins who tried to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what they were saying, but judging by the vibe, they were clearly off to sound the alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t a combat junkie. Better to finish things off now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the three charging at him—it was even easier. Lu Ce didn’t even bother using a weapon. With raw strength alone, he tore them apart with his bare hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green parts scattered across the ground, and the long hallway returned to silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, he saw the vaguely human forms hanging on either side of the corridor—some of their eyes had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were still alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was all they could do. No big movements—not even a tremble. They couldn’t open their mouths. Their chests couldn’t even rise and fall anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, every single one of the tortured souls hanging on the walls was staring straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he hadn’t even activated [Focus Beacon]—this was completely voluntary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this kind of dungeon, being stared down by these things that were neither human nor ghost was enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Ce, from their eyes, saw pleading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A kind of desperate pleading born from soaking in hopelessness for who knows how long, finally seeing a sliver of hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You wanna die? Why should I help you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a sec. I need to scope things out first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Jealousy Mask on, any feelings like pity were completely out of the question. Lu Ce looked around, realizing there was something off about this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The floor and walls were slightly curved. Looking farther ahead, though the view was blocked, it felt more like a pipe than a tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except this pipe was huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the material of the floor—hard to describe. Normally, with Lu Ce’s strength, stone floors would’ve cracked from impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here? No cracks. Instead, it deformed slightly like metal—and was slowly returning to shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking for a moment, he pressed down on his headset and started speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, can you hear me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re still alive?!\" Xie Antong’s voice came through quickly, a mix of surprise and urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What, you thought I’d be dead already?\" Lu Ce replied, confused. \"Tch, disappointing you like this must really be a shame.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, guess you really are the kind of guy who can survive anything,\" Xie Antong joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough small talk. What’s going on? Did you see anything? What is this feeding thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say,\" Lu Ce looked around at the unrecognizable humans, then back at the pipe-like tunnel. \"Could be a divine creation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you come see for yourself? Isn’t the headset with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to trade places?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: ?\u003C\u002Fp>",1031,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","daea40dd251ed8e7c9e428b22dc8ec07e139ac0d3b82d1880a3f30b03e45d45f","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-250","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-248",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
