He only felt his whole body go numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this happen...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, images flashed by like a revolving lantern, scenes from the moment the game started to what he was witnessing now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every word spoken by Tom, standing before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please call me the Great Tom!....”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome to Demon Asylum...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can talk to each other, get familiar with your abilities...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The relationship between you is both cooperation and competition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like a competent game staff member, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this all just bulls**t?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s absolutely no useful information!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game rules were announced in a mechanical voice, the game’s goal also came from the mechanical voice, and then appeared on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beginning of meal time, the end of meal time—everything was just mechanical voice directly transmitted through the air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the warnings were mechanical voice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirk was shocked to realize that it seemed like this game didn’t have any problems at all with the iron-skin robot Tom beside him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirk’s whole body went numb, as if he had swallowed a whole prickly ash tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hadn’t he noticed before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words Lu Ce had said earlier were like sharp knives, deeply stabbing into his psychological defenses, giving him a strong sense of defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\"You keep saying you want to break the norm, but you’re still bound by the rules!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, why hadn’t he thought of this before? Why hadn’t he felt something was wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had defaulted to the game’s absolute authority, believing it was the game host, and never considered the possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually felt that what Lu Ce said made so much sense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He actually thought a madman’s words made sense! When did this madman notice these things and remember them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mental interference had backfired. The other person was clearly mentally confused—he had truly gone insane, hadn’t he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh....” Suddenly, eerie laughter echoed in the silent space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Lu Ce laughing, the sound behind his mask growing louder, until it became a full-on cackle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha ha ha ha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what he was laughing at; it seemed like he was going mad again, but also mocking. In any case, for a moment, even Jiu Tian thought it made sense that the Masked Man was the one truly sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh... sorry, Mr. Kirk, I still respect you, I didn’t mean to mock you, hahahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just... started losing control a bit....”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu Tian listened to his words, his gaze dropping, his eyelids twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that Lu Ce’s right hand was fully sunk into the ground, his fingers twisting and turning wildly as if crushing a piece of tofu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lu Ce’s rationality increased, the aura around him surged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boundary between them seemed like it was tied to a wild beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, wait... let me think.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Kirk’s mind was in chaos, Tom, who hadn’t spoken the entire time, finally spoke for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His iron-skin head mechanically twisted to look at Kirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Kirk Player, deduction correct!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You have found the one most seriously ill, now, begin to deal with him!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Kill him!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron-skin robot Tom announced the game result with no change in tone, just flat and calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing those words, Kirk shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know why, but he felt like something was off about the way Tom was speaking now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn’t he be reacting to what the red-masked man said?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But, if we have to say Tom is the host, there’s really no major issue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And your abnormal and crazy behavior seems even more inexplicable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirk didn’t respond to Tom, instead turning to Lu Ce and speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My behavior? My behavior has always been very clear.” Lu Ce sat on the ground and shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I’m hungry, so I need to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of explanation is this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the problem itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a thousand grass mud horses were galloping through Kirk’s mind, but now he dared not look at Lu Ce like a mental patient anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce, sitting on the ground, shook his head and muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already told you all, the food and the medicine are problematic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially the medicine... that’s not a completion item, that’s what our great Tom prepared, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not medicine to stabilize the mind! It’s medicine that makes you lose control, that worsens the condition!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirk’s brow twitched, and he subconsciously asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you know?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it—wasn’t this right in front of him....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy had already become like this after eating it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to know how I know... it’s just how it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce couldn’t explain too much here, because it was actually part of his own mask’s ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gluttony Mask stores the energy from eating, but if not released, it could explode the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was just a meal with over a hundred cans of food, with Lu Ce’s current physical strength, he shouldn’t have had any trouble. But when he ate for the first time, he felt something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy surged in an abnormal way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And under Gluttony, if you eat something toxic, you become immune to poison, but with the accumulation of food energy, your mental confusion increases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those medicines were really calming ones, they should have been like sugar pills to Lu Ce!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with such violent energy and mental confusion, the medicine definitely had “poison”—highly toxic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toxic enough to make everyone here think they were sick, toxic enough to drive everyone mad, even altering their consciousness to make them think they needed that medicine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, when I entered the asylum and saw the task, I thought of a very simple way to complete it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“—Just kill everyone, and wouldn’t that complete the game?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But later, I realized something was wrong... that patient said, someone tortured him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who tortured him? Previous players? No, they couldn’t defeat Wang Ao, and this wouldn’t make him go insane.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plus, look, the red light is still flashing, but the punishment hasn’t come yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s going to punish me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s torturing them?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce stood up, took a step, and looked down at the iron-skin robot Tom, whose mouth on the mask was wide open, as if to swallow Tom whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why aren’t you answering me, the one truly sick!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You smell so good... I’ve already smelled the human meat on you....”\u003C\u002Fp>",1119,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","23e046808e9a243ded2bda3f22f38ae9f09f6c805086222920002d1c11065881","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-52","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-200",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
