He shot the man a wary glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cut the crap, we’re on the same side. Time’s running out. Which division are you from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me?” Lu Ce raised his head slightly and thought for a moment. “I’m from the Senior High Division.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The f*** do you mean \"High School Division\"?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of nonsense is that?! What the hell are you talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian was completely dumbfounded. Seeing that there were only three minutes left, he was starting to panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was his colleague still acting like this? Did he look that untrustworthy?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dude, hurry up. I already saw your name card. I’m Jiu Tian, from K City, Jianghai Province. I didn’t bring my card!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, do we even need to use these anymore? Look at my clothes!” He tugged at the red fabric of his outfit. “Why aren’t you wearing the uniform? Turned it into a Red Mask instead? The rules in your division are pretty unusual, huh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh right, your Livestream should have our people watching. Just have them check my identity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce figured the guy must have misunderstood something and continued talking nonsense: “You look pretty old. How could we be in the same division? You’re still in high school?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you the Director of the Political Education Office?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists clenched—hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell was wrong with this guy?! No sense of organization, no discipline at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Jiu Tian, based on our records, there is indeed a Perfect Completion Player in our organization.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【However, there’s no record of anyone matching this mask type. Try engaging in more conversation.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A message popped up in Jiu Tian’s Livestream Footage, a reminder from the support staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian suppressed his growing urge to punch someone. Keeping his expression cold, he lowered his voice and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Comrade, I don’t know what you’re planning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you mentioned my uniform earlier and deliberately showed your name card. Clearly, you were trying to get my attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… do you have something to say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce scratched his head. “Now that you mention it, I think I’m kinda hungry. Weird.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who asked you that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian turned away immediately, throwing out a quick “Take care of yourself” before deciding to ignore him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bye-bye, man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to the staff in his Livestream, he said, “Hurry up and check which department this guy belongs to. Is he out of his damn mind?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a Hell Mode Game! How the hell can he be messing around?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Reminder to all players: You should leave this room before time runs out.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Countdown had already reached one minute. The door had opened, revealing a pitch-black corridor stretching forward like an abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one wanted to ignore the system’s warnings. In Hell Mode, you never knew when an instant death condition might trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foreigner Kirk was the first to step out, his back exuding an air of cold arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Guy frowned at his retreating figure. “Tch, what a show-off.” Then, he followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian and the woman left as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce, true to his usual antics, stepped out at the last second—then stuck his head back inside, just to see what would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door slammed shut, smacking him right out. A mask-shaped imprint even appeared on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian, who had been keeping an eye on this “colleague” from the corner of his eye, silently turned his head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like he couldn’t handle this anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the closed door was a long corridor, curving slightly to the left. About a hundred meters ahead, the darkness swallowed everything from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On either side of the hallway, large iron doors lined the walls at regular intervals. They were pitch-black, silent—like cages holding wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sound came from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was probably where the “Patients” were kept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian ran his hand along the curved wall, calculating the distance ahead as he strode forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before making any serious moves, he wanted to get a clear grasp of the layout and basic structure of this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No stairs leading up or down. It should be a single-floor structure—unless there are hidden doors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this curvature, it might be a circular building…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice echoed in the eerie silence. He wasn’t keeping his thoughts to himself—he shared them decisively with everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the Game System announced:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Breakfast time: 30 minutes.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mealtime is part of the Game Task. During this period, Players must enter a Patient’s room.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【If you leave, you must return quickly. Staying too long in the hallway will lead to unfortunate consequences.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANK! CLANK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the announcement ended, hidden compartments beneath each door opened, revealing metal trays that had been delivered from… somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, an overwhelming, sickening stench filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the dim strip lighting, each tray held a large can of slimy, unidentifiable sludge—so unappetizing that it was hard to believe it was meant to be food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You couldn’t even tell what was inside. There were bits of bone and shreds of membrane floating in the mush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the can, a small dish of white pills sat neatly on the tray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A label was attached to the tray:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Patients are mentally unstable. Sedative medication has been mixed into their food. You may attempt communication.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place looks more like a psychiatric hospital,” Jiu Tian murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F***!” Big Guy cursed. “This crap is supposed to be food? No wonder the Patients are crazy, eating this sh** would mess up anyone’s mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it really that bad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce stared at the trays on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did it look… kinda delicious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gluttony Mask maximized his hunger drive, completely suppressing any rational judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red warning light started flashing, urging Players to enter their designated Game Instance Rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No time to think. Lu Ce randomly picked a door, grabbed a tray, and stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was nothing like the corridor outside—it was filthy. Stains covered the walls, some even resembling blood smears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the lights were blindingly bright, on 24\u002F7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner, a gaunt, ghostly man crouched, shackled in High-Grade Alloy Handcuffs and foot restraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lu Ce stepped in, the man glared at the tray in his hands with pure hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time to eat. Looks like breakfast, I think? Don’t really remember. A feast, my friend. Look at you—you’re practically skin and bones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want some?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was completely barren—no furniture at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce glanced around before casually sitting on the floor, setting the tray down beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Want some?” A hoarse, grinding voice came from the Patient’s throat, filled with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not! You little newbie—feast? Feast, my ass! If it's so damn delicious, why don’t you eat it yourself? Let me tell you, don’t get cocky—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Lu Ce’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? Thanks, man!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that, he grabbed the sludge can and chugged it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patient: ?\u003C\u002Fp>",1184,"2026-06-02T09:03:26.862Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe84c6b05a0e9062de39e4617143155973d0383c8cb995a30927961d1487bfe2","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-31","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-29",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
