I’m gonna f***ing kill kill kill kill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So at this moment, Lu Ce, while not making a move, actually seemed more normal than he did in his previous Greed and Gluttony states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even looked a bit refined, like a cool, quiet male god type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, all of that was an illusion—a storm hidden beneath a calm lake surface. Behind that elegant exterior was a bloodthirsty beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First campus mystery cleared. Solved in less than an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shattered most of Park Bu Seong’s illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the corpses and blood on the ground had all turned into black smoke and vanished, leaving only scattered organ pieces that were quite disturbing to look at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she couldn’t yet fully unleash the power of the All-Seeing Eye, it was still a legendary weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t even noticed that some of those body parts belonged to Kim I Ru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What level is the mask of ‘Sin’, exactly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or... was this simply a result of his sharp mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When... did you notice that some of those limbs belonged to Kim I Ru?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: ......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t notice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a short reply, then downed another bottle of Basic Healing Potion to restore his state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the very first bottle he drank at the start, he’d only used one Intermediate Healing Potion in between.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his state had returned to what it was at the beginning—actually, even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This first mystery was basically a bonus level for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in truth, he hadn’t overthought it this time. Contrary to what Xie Antong assumed, he hadn’t been aiming for completion from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Insisting on killing the Punisher and getting punished himself—he’d simply wanted to be punished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the part where he stopped and stared at the corpse, it wasn’t because he actively noticed something wrong or picked up on signs of Kim I Ru—it was pure instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a beast in the wild, sensing something watching it. Just pure, raw instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I ask... what was the goal behind the approach you chose earlier?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sin’s response, and having run through countless possibilities in her mind, Xie Antong cautiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce adjusted his Mysterious Cloak, changed its appearance, then shook off the blood with a sharp motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was... warming up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And now, it’s been proven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce stretched forcefully. A big grin spread across the pale green mask on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These horror games can all be cleared with brute force... right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong’s pupils contracted. Even though Sin was smiling, the violent energy around him only seemed to intensify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this time around, he had basically thrown himself into the game as a test—to figure out if brute force could work!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the punishments weren’t lethal... if he could wipe out all threats... then yeah, he was planning to bulldoze his way through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of frustration welled up in her chest—she just couldn’t keep up with the thinking of someone with rage issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, she’d thought she finally cracked the puzzle in one of the highest-level game duels. Who knew the guy never even planned to solve anything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sin had never considered team cooperation in the first place!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, over on Park Bu Seong’s side, the game interface had popped up with a prompt and a new round of notifications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black Side’s Lu Ce had already cleared one horror mystery, and now, the Hell Mode was beginning to show its true hellish nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Park Bu Seong was gaining higher and higher permissions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time Lu Ce cleared a horror mystery, Park Bu Seong could impose one restriction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the level and scope of these restrictions were ramping up too—getting more twisted each round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Park Bu Seong tried to write, “From now on, Sin cannot breathe,” but the game rejected it. Some restrictions just weren’t valid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he was testing the game’s limits on the screen in front of him, muttering curses nonstop as he planned the next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F***ing useless... Didn’t even pass back any info before exiting the game, wasn’t Kim I Ru ranked high domestically... Didn’t they say he had life-saving skills?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just quit like that? Might as well f***ing die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spineless piece of s***, what the hell are they doing over there...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sh*t, completely useless...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already holding back a lot. If there weren’t so many people watching, he’d be swearing even filthier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, you could understand the guy—his opponent basically cleared the level without doing anything, and his own teammate vanished without even leaving a message!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, everything should’ve been going great for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t like Kim I Ru had a choice. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to pass along info—Lu Ce just didn’t give him the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body had been split among several Fakes. When Lu Ce broke the rules, the game’s mechanics forced Kim to carry out the punishment immediately, leaving no time for messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each time a punishment ended, Lu Ce followed up with another shot! Kim didn’t even have time to be scared, let alone pass along intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And by the end, after taking a shot to the leg, if he’d delayed another second, he’d have been turned to ashes. No way to send anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce’s Wrath Mask was all about efficiency—not even a spare moment to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in the end, Park Bu Seong was left completely in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon enough, a smile reappeared on his face as he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it’s fine, don’t worry, in the end the winner will still be me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s just one level, nothing big. All it means is that Kim I Ru was garbage. My restrictions will be chained together, one after another, pulling him into the abyss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’ll pay for his arrogance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Park Bu Seong spoke, he hit the Confirm button again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Huaguo viewers in his livestream couldn’t help but facepalm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bro’s confident again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a system prompt rang in the players’ minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Black Side player has cleared one Campus Mystery. Now, White Side player issues the first restriction.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【—At any time, there must be at least one Black Side player inside a horror game location!】\u003C\u002Fp>",1102,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","fcd602af7aedb5d36e21dcab4a8e49f123ebb221d9f9a6884cd7d327ebb56108","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-73","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-71",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
