Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 604: A Major General Abducted, Someone Kept in the Dark

Hearing the voice in his ear, Jiang Yuan—the guy who previously required over a dozen Dragon Group combat team members to barely restrain him—suddenly froze in place.

He looked at Xie Antong with a gaze full of suspicion and uncertainty.

Looking at this somewhat familiar person, he initially wanted to ask, "Who are you talking about?" but the words never left his mouth.

Because he knew exactly who she was referring to. Moreover, the fact that she was speaking to him so covertly likely meant there were inconvenient details she couldn't openly discuss.

Yet, he couldn't truly bring himself to believe it, so he could only stand silently in the sky for now.

The Dragon Group members were all looking at Xie Antong with surprise, also unable to comprehend what aspect of her words held such magic.

From their perspective, it was very simple: Xie Antong showed up, gave a greeting, and this powerful individual with unknown abilities simply lost all intention to fight.

They had been extremely tense earlier, fearing it was a sign the world was about to descend into chaos and that some people were finally losing patience.

The Dragon Group had done their homework. They had seen the game video information about "Sin" and knew the Jiang Yuan before them was that suddenly-appearing world's fifth rank.

But shouldn't he be a game character?Why had he appeared directly in the real world? At first, they even wondered if someone was impersonating him.

As for the large crowd of onlookers present, they only now realized this Heaven and Earth Society guy was actually that Jiang Yuan, causing another wave of commotion.

Jiang Yuan himself, having finally met someone he recognized, automatically blocked out everything around him and spoke somewhat hesitantly:

"You......"

Before he could finish, the All-Seeing Eye in his ear began vibrating at high frequency again, its voice carrying a hint of threat as it said:

"The one you want to see is in this world, but he always operates alone."

"In this world, currently, I am the only one who can find him!"

Jiang Yuan fell silent. After struggling for a long moment, he could only manage to say:

"You... hello."

This left everyone around utterly baffled.

"Mm, hello," Xie Antong nodded. "You came looking for me, right?"

"Wanting to join Divine Punishment?"

Jiang Yuan actually really wanted to ask a deeply soul-searching question at this moment—what is Divine Punishment?

But the voice in his ear stopped him again, telling him:

—"Say yes!"

"Yes, I want to join Divine Punishment," Jiang Yuan chose to go with the flow. After all, he had nothing left to lose.

Besides, they clearly said that if he shouted "the world belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society," that fiery person would come see him, but in the end, no one came.

Dragon Group: ?

The People: ?

Everyone felt something was off. Such a serious, grave matter... was it really resolved just like that?

Emmm......

The Dragon Group members opened their mouths, unsure what to say. But if he really joined Divine Punishment, it should probably count as a form of Amnesty Offer.

"Good, then it's settled," Xie Antong said.

"Wait! What's good about this?!" Suddenly, an angry roar erupted from the city below. A cyan-green skateboard shot into the sky, and a figure not seen for a long time suddenly appeared before Xie Antong.

—No. 27, Wu Changkong!

This frontline member of the Heaven and Earth Society had maintained his competitiveness all along, holding a fairly high rank.

He happened to live in this city. Waking up from sleep and stepping outside, he suddenly discovered someone flying around in the sky, shouting the Heaven and Earth Society's slogan. He was dumbfounded.

Are people in the organization this bold now? Where did this reckless fool come from!

Was the organization about to produce someone even more impulsive than the boss?

His first instinct was to go out and negotiate, but by then it was too late. The Dragon Group had already assembled and begun the "apprehension."

So, he had been blending into the crowd below, following along, planning to observe quietly first.

Who would have thought this Blank would suddenly jump out and try to poach the guy right away! This was utterly unacceptable.

Immediately, he charged out as well, confronting Xie Antong.

Xie Antong inwardly sighed with relief. Thankfully, she had arrived quickly.

"Didn't you hear him shouting 'the world belongs to the Heaven and Earth Society' just now? How did it become about joining Divine Punishment?"

"He doesn't understand. Don't try to trick him here."

As Wu Changkong spoke, he turned to look at Jiang Yuan.

"You want to join the Heaven and Earth Society, right? I'm a member of the Heaven and Earth Society."

"You can come talk to me, but there's no need to make such a spectacle in the city right now."

Jiang Yuan spoke somewhat bewildered, "What is the Heaven and Earth Society?"

"I don't want to join the Heaven and Earth Society."

Wu Changkong: …

He had a strong premonition. He felt he was probably about to become the clown.

"The legitimacy of the Heaven and Earth Society is still under discussion. If you're looking for an organization, Divine Punishment might be more suitable."

A Dragon Group combat member instantly chimed in from the side. Originally, they had reservations about Jiang Yuan joining Divine Punishment, but with the Heaven and Earth Society showing up, they now felt joining Divine Punishment was actually excellent.

The three parties wrangled in the sky for a long time. In the end, Wu Changkong was the one who conceded defeat. For some reason, Jiang Yuan suddenly became very determined to join Divine Punishment.

In a fit of rage, Wu Changkong raged for a moment, then left on his skateboard.

Jiang Yuan, meanwhile, followed Xie Antong and the Dragon Group personnel into the city to handle the relevant procedures and register for a place to live.

Under Xie Antong's "casual suggestion," the group headed to a neighboring city, planning to finally find a residence for this newly emerged powerhouse there.

And that city... was precisely where Lu Ce was located!

Heh, using that guy's name to poach a top-tier general. Well, I suppose he's someone recruited for you.

"What kind of organization is Divine Punishment? What... what is its relationship with... the Master?"

Along the way, Jiang Yuan found an opportunity to quietly ask the question he cared about most.

He didn't know why this woman before him claimed she was the only one who could contact the Master, but for now, he could only tentatively believe her.

"Heh heh......."

The corner of Xie Antong's mouth lifted slightly.

"Divine Punishment... its connection with him runs deep. In fact, Divine Punishment was even created because of him."

She wondered what expression Jiang Yuan would have when he learned about Divine Punishment's founding principles.

The group set off for the city where Lu Ce resided. Meanwhile, a certain person kept in the dark had no idea what had happened today, all in his name.

He was even more unaware that Xie Antong was bringing one of his fanatical believers and was about to "come knocking on his door."

At that moment, he had simply tidied up for the afternoon and was planning to go out for a look.

The area he lived in was a player gathering zone. Although not fully occupied, it still had a considerable number of people.

"Hmm......."

Instinctively, he wanted to put on his mask, but his steps halted at the last moment.

He hadn't walked around in the real world much, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable with nothing on his face.

"Forget it."

In the end, he didn't wear the mask and pushed the door open to leave.
