His lips twitched, and the muscles on his face made it clear—he couldn’t force a smile anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just standing there, his mental state was clearly different from just a moment ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he faced “Blank” earlier, Park Bu Seong had felt confident. But the guy standing in front of him now gave him a strange sense—like his heart had skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even animals with undeveloped intelligence can instinctively fear the presence of a predator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Park Bu Seong gulped, warily watching the man before him, completely forgetting that he had just claimed, “Dealing with ‘Sin’ won’t be a problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Lu Ce was also sizing up Park Bu Seong—this was his first time seeing, head-on, this so-called young master who dared challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too much so. Just by looking at his limbs, you could tell there was no training. Let alone any combat experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His facial skin looked smooth, but even with a decent disguise, it was obvious from the hollowness under his eyes that he’d been indulging himself far too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce even suspected this guy had put on makeup before entering the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why so quiet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember you had a lot to say earlier when you were challenging me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce rolled his shoulder, looking at his completely non-threatening opponent, casually making small talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mood had clearly improved. The Seven Mysteries were all complete now—only fighting remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And fighting, under the Wrath Mask, was the one thing he was best at—and the simplest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way… the horror mystery’s already been triggered… this is a separate space… how did you get here…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Park Bu Seong muttered in disbelief. At this point, things had already gone this far, and he was still babbling nonsense—truly comical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That, I don’t know. You’ll have to ask her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Earpiece: True interconnectivity!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, it only worked for communication—no different from a regular Bluetooth earpiece. But it was actually an Epic-tier weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its true function was spatial exchange, controlled by the user. It allowed two wearers to swap positions—ignoring all restrictions, space locks, and incantations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swap could only be used once before needing to recharge. But that single unrestricted, fully-conscious exchange was exactly what made it an Epic-tier weapon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce had only realized something was off when Xie Antong repeatedly reminded him to “wear the earpiece properly”—his strong instincts picked up the hint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, she was holding onto some top-tier gear. Meanwhile, his own Mysterious Cloak was the weakest of all the Epic-tier weapons…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, Lu Ce unconsciously rubbed the corner of his cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You might want to focus. I still need you to come help me over here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the other end of the earpiece, Xie Antong’s voice came through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, in the pitch-black restroom, a dripping sound had begun—as if something was leaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one could open their eyes and look, they’d see blood seeping out of every sink and stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson blood was already about to reach Xie Antong’s feet. In the mirror, a black-haired girl slowly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl had no eyeballs. In the dark sockets of her eyes, a tongue wriggled and slithered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole restroom was soaked in a terrifying atmosphere, but Xie Antong stood completely still in the center, eyes tightly shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had even deactivated the All-Seeing Eye, refusing to move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew—this stage was the “open-your-eyes-and-you-die” type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she really opened her eyes or used anything to look around, it would fully trigger the berserk state of the horror mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was almost a universal trait of every horror mystery involving “mirrors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, she also believed—as long as she didn’t look, this space couldn’t unleash its full power, and she could endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even as the sounds, the temperature, and the atmosphere screamed a terrifying tale all around her, she kept her eyes tightly shut and didn’t seek death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know.” Lu Ce quickly replied from the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, no matter which version of folklore you go by, the Thirteen Steps is the most dangerous—possibly the only instant-death horror mystery!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I was over there just now, the All-Seeing Eye already told me how dangerous it was. You better take it seriously—don’t underestimate the enemy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful you don’t get yourself killed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Lu Ce’s end, something shifted in the Wrath Mask’s energy—just a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me?! Get killed by him?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong quickly ended the call. That line was purely to help “Sin” stack up some Rage Points—get him fired up fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was already gambling hard. If “Sin” actually lost… then her own situation… well, she’d be screwed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Epic-tier weapon—Earpiece—creaked loudly under Lu Ce’s fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he didn’t even need Xie Antong to help him build rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked calm, but he was already fuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially this Park Bu Seong. Just looking at that idiot made his “idiot allergy” flare up. What pissed him off most was—why does someone like this get to challenge me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of trash, just because of his background, gets to rank 79?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Park Bu Seong didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, “Sin” looked more and more monstrous, and it was like a black hole—space itself was collapsing inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a grim expression, Park Bu Seong gritted his teeth and gave an order to Ye Ah:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take that woman out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked back at “Sin” and said, “Doesn’t matter—you’re going down too…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Lu Ce cut him off,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you think… you’re standing a little too close to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, alarm bells exploded in Park Bu Seong’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horror mystery had granted him part of a demon’s power—his alertness was way higher than normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly jumped back—and saw something on his right side: a hand, still attached to tendon and flesh, torn clean off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—It was his right arm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce had lunged, aiming to rip the guy’s head off. Unfortunately, he didn’t get the whole thing—just one arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain was unlike anything Park Bu Seong had ever experienced. His body twisted and swelled—skin ripping, muscles bulging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of ram horns sprouted from his head—he transformed into a demonic figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, all along the staircase, everything began to squirm. On the walls, the floor, the steps—countless evil things seemed to be wriggling to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>",1120,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","a041cdfbf9fb466193881eb77d59de9dc73efad006c3e352c5e149192da1cbca","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-96","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-94",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
