Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 429: Roller Coaster, Flesh and Bone Connected

After writing it down, she looked up again and gazed at the seven people.

Aside from that Little Yu, only one player ranked beyond the thousandth place remained.

That person wearing a nose ring, who looked extremely flamboyant and seemed afraid of no one.

And coincidentally, at that moment, the nose ring man also spoke up.

"Stop dawdling around, it's just a roller coaster. How will we know what's really going on if we don't ride it?"

"Let's get ready to start."

Saying this, he strode forward toward the roller coaster ahead that could almost be described as "towering."

Xie Antong looked at him, raised an eyebrow, her eyes seeming somewhat amused.

Amusing.

Does he need to rely on external bravado to fill his heart with courage?The nose ring man seemed to notice someone watching him, turned back to look at the group, curled his lip and said:

"What's up?"

"Nothing, you're right, the game is about to start," Xie Antong said.

Courage is about not fearing, or continuing to charge forward despite fear.

But desperately hiding fear so others won't notice it—that has nothing to do with courage.

The group arrived at the roller coaster. Only when they got close did they surprisingly discover how contrasting and outrageous this thing was.

From a distance, it appeared to be the most magnificent amusement facility in the world, but up close, they could see how dilapidated it actually was.

The roller coaster "cars" had absolutely no safety protections—just some wooden planks that appeared to be for sitting.

The planks were exceptionally old-looking, covered in what seemed like a layer of permanently un-cleanable grease from their appearance, along with splinters.

The tracks were also abnormally twisted and crooked, visibly covered with rust at first glance.

The rust was so thick it had completely enveloped the tracks' original appearance, making them look precarious.

Loose nails, exposed nuts, and a pungent odor assaulted everyone's nostrils.

The smell was hard to describe, as if multiple things had mixed together to form a unique sensation.

However, most people present were battle-hardened veterans, and many recognized something familiar in that smell.

Sun wrinkled his nose, his face gradually revealing a ferocious expression as he spoke in a low voice.

"The smell of blood..."

"No way! How are we supposed to ride this roller coaster? Won't it immediately throw everyone off once it starts?" the tomboy said with a frown.

"Could it just be testing balance? Whether we can stay seated—I don't think that would be much of a problem for anyone here."

"You'll see the specific content for yourselves during the game," Xie Antong said.

"The first game: roller coaster. Or, I'd also like to call it Bone Connected to Flesh."

"Everyone, board the cars and prepare to depart."

Lu Ce stepped onto the car, found a spot to sit, and immediately started mocking:

"At this stage, even when pretending to be mysterious, they can't come up with something more sophisticated."

Xie Antong ignored him, watching as everyone gradually boarded, then continued:

"This roller coaster does have protective measures to prevent you from being thrown off."

"However, the specific level of protection is for you to decide yourselves."

Everyone instantly turned their heads in confusion—what did she mean by deciding themselves?

"Do you see the buttons beside your hands?"

"Remember to keep pressing them. You can adjust the protection level yourself according to your thoughts."

As her words fell, a scream instantly erupted.

"Ah!!! Damn it!"

The one screaming was Black Man. At this moment, his finger was pressing the button while blood gushed from his thigh!

The sudden scream instantly startled everyone. Looking over, they saw that two clamping boards had instantly extended from below where Black Man was sitting, tightly gripping his legs.

Within those clamping boards, countless dense long nails had deeply pierced into his thighs, with blood seeping outward along the clamping boards.

Black Man's forehead instantly broke out in fine beads of sweat as he shouted at Xie Antong:

"This is protection?!"

"Release it! How do I release it?"

Xie Antong looked at him coldly, speaking without any emotion:

"Releasing it now might not necessarily be a good thing. But if you want to release it, just keep pressing the button while thinking about releasing it."

Black Man gritted his teeth. Soon after, the clamping boards lowered. He took out a bottle of basic potion and drank it.

Nothing had even happened yet, and he was already injured.

Everyone looked up with some fear at this winding giant, this exceptionally massive roller coaster.

The mottled rust, the strange smell—they instantly had an explanation!

—Blood!

This enormous roller coaster was as if it had been soaked in blood!

Almost instantly, the atmosphere of this amusement park was shrouded in a layer of terror.

How many people's blood had been required to drench it like this?

"Hahahaha! So this is what Bone Connected to Flesh means? That's actually quite interesting."

Suddenly, Sin's arrogant laughter rang out. Jealousy's voice was unpleasant to hear, making people feel chilled in their hearts.

The pink mask turned to look at Black Man.

"After hearing you scream so miserably, I thought something serious had happened, but it's just a scratch."

"Are you a baby? You're really embarrassing Black people."

Then he turned to look at Xie Antong and said:

"May I ask, these protections are to prevent us from being thrown off, right?"

"That means choosing this kind of protection is forced—forced by this game."

Xie Antong looked at him, remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, it's forced."

Crack!

As her words fell, there was instantly a loud noise! The clamping boards on both sides of Lu Ce's thighs instantly closed, tightly gripping his legs in between!

Unlike Black Man's situation, the sound was clearly more intense—the nails had directly pierced through his thighs!

[Chosen of Agony, Agony Value +3!]

"Ah, it really works... just a casual thing."

Crack!

More successive sounds rang out as layers of metal protection appeared out of nowhere—chest, arms, shoulder blades—like a cage full of spikes, nailing him firmly to the seat.

"Well, this should prevent me from being thrown out, right?"

"These nails aren't very good quality—they've already deformed. They're not as hard as my bones."

Xie Antong's eyelid instantly twitched, the corner of her mouth moved, but she turned her head away without speaking.

The people around who hadn't boarded yet were instantly somewhat shocked.

Is this how the strongest players play the game?...

No wonder we can't become the strongest players—this is pure insanity!

"Hurry up," Lu Ce said impatiently from his seat. "The intensity is too low."

So far, he couldn't see any signs of himself overloading...
