Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 231: A Completely Mismatched Conversation, Arguing Over the Deal

What did that mean?

What do you mean by "you came so quickly"? So he knew from the beginning that I was coming?

No wonder he's called Know-it-All. Looks like he really does know everything around here.

Unconsciously, Xie Antong raised the status of Know-it-All in her heart quite a bit and started to feel a bit of respect and wariness toward him.

She just nodded slightly and said,

"Yes, sorry to keep you waiting."

Know-it-All was dumbfounded. Did he just speak in human language?

He had clearly asked why she came back so quickly, so why did she respond with "sorry to keep you waiting"?

How the h**l does this person’s brain work? Whatever, she’s clearly a lunatic—might as well get down to business.

Xie Antong had already sat down in the chair, but due to her caution and nervousness, she only sat on the edge and didn’t lean back at all.Seeing that posture, Know-it-All’s eyelid twitched for no reason. He thought, why does she suddenly seem kind of normal this time?

He curled his lip and pointed to a cup of tea on the table, saying,

"Still want a drink?"

Xie Antong looked at that terrifying-looking liquid and replied with a grim expression,

"Um, can I not drink it?"

Know-it-All: ?

"Are you nuts? Drink it or don’t, up to you." As he spoke, Know-it-All took the tea off the table.

"Alright, I don't want to waste time talking nonsense. Since you're here so quickly, let’s get straight to the point."

"Okay!" Xie Antong nodded and looked at him seriously.

Looks like she’s triggered the game plot and it's time for the next step.

At that moment, Know-it-All was also staring at her, waiting for her to speak or take out the earphones.

The two of them just stared at each other—big eyes staring into small eyes—and neither said a word for a long time.

Xie Antong: ......

Know-it-All: ......

It was like they were in a competition to see who had more patience. The scene was hilariously awkward.

Xie Antong felt quite calm inside. She thought this might be his style, or maybe he was trying to test her with eye contact or read her somehow.

So she opened her clear eyes wide and looked at him sincerely.

Know-it-All: ?

Seeing her innocent and earnest expression, he started to wonder if he was the one with the problem.

"Wait... what do you mean?"

"What do I mean?" Xie Antong didn’t quite get it.

"Tch, why are you here?"

Xie Antong frowned slightly. Why was she here? She just wanted to talk with the person who knew the most to see if she could analyze anything useful.

But since he already claimed to know she’d come, then she should go with his version of the story.

"What do you think I came here for?"

Know-it-All: ?

"Huh?"

At this point, he really felt like his beautiful day went to sh*t the moment he met this woman.

This person’s brain had clearly been messed up from the start. He was already annoyed, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

But now, her attitude had done a complete 180 and suddenly became super respectful.

He had no idea how to respond, just looked totally pained, and finally said helplessly,

"The earphones!"

"What? What chicken?" The sudden word left Xie Antong confused.

"The f***ing earphones! What are you doing?"

Xie Antong frowned deeply, trying to figure out what he meant.

But thinking about how she used to interact with "Sin," she realized that when it comes to weird people like this, it’s better to just ask directly.

"What earphones? Why would I give you any?"

Know-it-All: Huh??

From today on, he figured his nickname couldn’t be Know-it-All anymore.

At the very least, there was one thing he definitely didn’t understand—and that was this woman’s brain.

"What do you mean why? How the f**k would I know!?"

Know-it-All couldn’t hold it in anymore. He was about to slam the table.

"Are you trying to back out? Bringing up all this useless nonsense?"

"Hurry up and give me the earphones and the payment. You know what happens in this prison if you try to stiff me?"

"Quit beating around the bush!"

Xie Antong: ?

"You’re saying, I give you the earphones, and then I have to pay you too?"

"Yeah."

"Then... can I choose not to give you the earphones?" Xie Antong tested cautiously.

Know-it-All: ......

His face started to twist visibly. He really didn’t get it anymore!

"Then! What the f**k did you come here for?!"

"Huh?! Are you out of your f***ing mind? Do you seriously think, compared to that idiot prison guard, I look easier to deal with?!"

"You said you were coming to give me earphones, and now you’re here just to screw with me? You think I don’t know how to spell the word ‘death’?"

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, radiating an explosive aura. Xie Antong instantly sensed something was wrong.

There was too much information packed into that one sentence.

"Wait a second! Are you saying that earlier, I told you I’d give you a pair of earphones?"

"Don’t tell me you’ve got amnesia. What, you a goldfish now? Forgot it all in a few minutes?" Know-it-All growled through clenched teeth.

A flash of realization hit Xie Antong—earphones… What other earphones could there be?

It had to be the communication one!

Sin!

She was so stupid, thinking she could have an easy time in a game that guy was involved in.

How could that be possible? There’s no way that guy would ever behave.

"Earlier, ‘I’ said I’d give you a pair of earphones to hold onto temporarily, and then when I come back next time, you return them to me."

"And then, I’m supposed to pay you?"

The moment she thought of Sin, the whole situation suddenly made sense. That guy had even turned into her?

She didn’t know what kind of new ability that was, but if it was him, then anything was possible.

"Right..." Know-it-All’s expression softened slightly. But he still felt like he was being played with.

"Then I think... this isn’t reasonable."

After saying that, she noticed his face darken, so she quickly added,

"Listen to me. Think about it—if I give you a pair of earphones and ask you to give them back next time, what’s my intention?"

"You’re asking me?!" Know-it-All nearly laughed from the rage.

"Obviously, it's because I think it’s too risky to keep it with me—it might get found—so I want you to help store it. The important part isn’t giving it to you, but getting it back."

"Getting it back is my goal. So I think, I should only pay you when I get it back."

"Otherwise, if I pay you now and you lose my stuff, who am I supposed to go to? Right?"

Xie Antong’s brain quickly caught up, and she was ready to kick the ball back to “Sin” and start haggling over the deal.

I’m the one who has to pay?!
