From the impact?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh.” The blue-clad woman in charge of clerical work responded and pulled out a stack of reports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not sure. That’s why it feels a little strange.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, his skull also has fractures, which is more normal. Based on the angle of impact, that makes sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But with that angle, his jaw shouldn’t have been hit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe there was some friction, or it was an old injury.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s out of life-threatening danger now. His name is Liu Peng. After an investigation, it’s confirmed that he is a Chosen’s Game player...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a minute!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, he walked over, picked up the stack of X-ray films, and examined them repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The secretary responsible for the investigation was stunned. He didn’t understand why Zhao Jiacheng was suddenly so interested in the injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This level of bone fracture looks even more severe than the head trauma.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have to consider that, at the time, this student’s body was already extremely strong—strong enough to crash through a wall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even though the skull is harder than the jaw, the difference in damage is still strange. What do you think could have caused it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he asked, Zhao Jiacheng recalled the events from earlier that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Day and night cycle...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guy had clearly lost his sanity for some reason, repeatedly muttering the same phrases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repeating them over and over meant that his jaw couldn’t have already been broken—it could only have happened during the impact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe it was friction from the wall? Since he crashed straight through it,” the secretary guessed tentatively, assuming Zhao Jiacheng was simply concerned about the injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Jiacheng: ……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t refute, only murmured to himself, but in his mind, he kept replaying the scene from earlier, going over that high school student’s bizarre behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed quickly. After that unexpected incident, the weekend arrived, and the school took the chance to tighten its security measures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce lay quietly on his bed, waiting for the next game to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The past two days had been nerve-wracking. He kept wondering if someone from that strange organization would come to investigate him or if the family of the student he had instantly taken down would cause trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Time until the next game begins: 00:58:43.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he was on a phone call with Xie Antong, discussing the upcoming game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong: “I don’t know how you did it yesterday, but I assume your strength isn’t weak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But no matter what, this game is too dangerous. I strongly suggest you buy an Exit Token before entering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce typed back: “Got it. Are you playing this round too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.” A short reply. “Let’s play separately for now. If there’s a chance later, we can add each other as friends.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, just a heads-up—the in-game clothing is standardized, but according to my intel, underwear can be brought in directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… you might want to see if you can bring other things in from the real world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading the message, Lu Ce was surprised. He had never heard of this before. Just what kind of special connections did his deskmate have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh, having a background is nice. Unlike me, who has no choice but to rely on cheats...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thanking her, he held onto the information and lay in his small room, staring at the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if Xie Antong was trustworthy. If they were to cooperate, he would have to reveal his #1 ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her family background was clearly not simple. Could this really be settled with just trust?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought about it, feeling the passage of time, he pulled a golden name card from his school uniform pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was from Zhao Jiacheng, who had told him to “call when he felt he should.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the department name—something he had never heard of—then flipped it over to look at Zhao Jiacheng’s contact info.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of thought…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stuffed the name card into his underwear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry, Mr. Zhao Jiacheng! You’ll have to keep my buddy company for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xie Antong mentioned testing whether items could be brought in, and he had nothing else suitable, he might as well use this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, fits just right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, he organized his backpack, packed up his achievements and various healing potions, and waited for the voice he had been anticipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, this voice always ignited his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Please make the necessary preparations in advance.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Please choose to enter as a Spectator or a Player.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Player!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Welcome, Player. You have a brief period to prepare…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Reward Points: 12,400】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Pain Points: 6】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Strength: 24】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Agility: 10】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Speed: 10】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Luck: 3】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Spirit: 1】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Bonus Achievements: Godslayer (Legendary); System Exploiter (Epic)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Game initialized. Preparing to begin!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Welcome to Chosen’s Paradise!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same dizziness, the same vertigo—but this time, Lu Ce had already adapted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—It felt like coming home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dim, empty room. The air was damp and moldy, and the hygiene conditions seemed poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body swayed slightly, but his feet were firmly on the ground—not like last time, when he had been suspended in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce felt a bit disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn’t it feel as thrilling as last time? At least before, he had been hanging in the air with a chance to saw off his own leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He touched his face. The mask was already in place, fitting perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were several other players around him, but before he could take a good look at them, a sound rang out—one that he found incredibly satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Welcome, players, to Hell Mode of the Chosen’s Game—Demon Asylum.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time as the mechanical voice spoke, the sound of grinding gears echoed. A treaded robot rolled out from the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this voice, all the players’ expressions changed dramatically, their faces turning grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were no longer beginners. They already understood the terror of Hell Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How unlucky—this was only their second game, and they had already run into something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But beneath Lu Ce’s mask, his lips curled into a satisfied smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hell Mode?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now this… this really felt like home!\u003C\u002Fp>",1066,"2026-06-02T09:03:26.862Z",1,"novelbin.me","4261ffb06814e50f529e18b5e7565a5688172ae885f1426d344978192d214bf4","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-28","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-26",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
