Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 610: The Apostle's Confidence — You Have No Idea What Kind of Opportunity You Missed

Lu Ce: ......

Lu Ce was a little speechless, quietly watching the person in front of him perform.

He suddenly found it rather amusing. When he wasn't wearing a mask, there were always people bold enough to try to hoodwink him.

Removing his mask turned out to be the best disguise.

Those so-called perception abilities were at best party tricks, hardly something to be taken seriously.

Clearly, the supposed recognition skill wasn't that strong either. If it were truly powerful, she probably wouldn't have dared speak to him in the first place.

Also, the woman before him looked somewhat familiar.

He went back to his game page and checked the message Blank had sent him.

It was a video, showing several people discussing matters related to the Apostles.

When he first received it, Lu Ce had wondered where Xie Antong had been peeking to find such bizarre things, since she seemed to see everything.That was hilarious!

But now, looking at the woman who had approached him, he recognized her in an instant — she was the woman in Xie Antong's video who could open a protective Barrier!

Well, calling it a protective Barrier... it had still been thoroughly infiltrated by Xie Antong, utterly unimpressive.

According to Xie Antong, they were part of an organization called the Apostles, and this group appeared globally, impossible to stop alone.

She shared all intelligence with the Dragon Group, but also sent Lu Ce a copy.

These people were basically human scum;

if he ran into them, he could kill a few without thinking twice.

Emmmm... what did that have to do with him?

Yet unexpectedly, these people were the ones who came looking for him first.

"Why aren't you talking?" The woman in front of him smiled and continued, "My name is Zhong Li Rui."

"Actually, nobody asked what your name is......" Lu Ce's mouth twitched slightly, he said, a bit exasperated.

"Is this the place for talking? Want me to open up that protective shield of yours a bit?"

Hearing that, Zhong Li Rui subconsciously nodded, but immediately her pupils constricted.

Wait!

She instantly went on high alert, no longer as composed as before, and asked,

"You know me? How do you know my ability?!"

"Are you famous? I know you." Lu Ce found this woman a bit full of herself.

"As for knowing your ability, well, my perception doesn't make mistakes."

Lu Ce's tone turned a little sarcastic, as if mimicking what she had just said.

Although he didn't care much about the Apostles, seeing this person showing off in front of him irritated him.

Lu Ce remembered that in Xie Antong's video, this woman had said that before the game descended, they would implement that so-called Star Burst Plan.

First they would spread the Apostles' ideology, coercing and enticing players to recruit them into the Apostles.

Whether someone could truly become an Apostle wasn't up to them;

the Game would choose. It was pure propaganda...

As for the masses, it didn't matter much;

the goal was to get as many people into the game's zones to participate.

Of course, in that regard they were rather laissez-faire — creating chaos was enough;

arson, looting, and murder were optional.

Strategically, they were definitely not good people.

Zhong Li Rui: ......

Listening to Lu Ce's answer, she fell silent for a moment, unsure of his background. He didn't seem simple;

his strength might be considerable.

"You..."

She was about to speak when Lu Ce cut in,

"Are you trying to coerce me, lure me into joining some organization?"

Zhong Li Rui: !?

No — why did all these words sound so familiar? This wasn't right!

Her expression darkened slightly, then after a moment she nodded and said,

"Is this your ability? Strange perceptual judgment."

"There are only a few hours until the game starts, and the world is about to plunge into chaos."

"Have you considered joining us? We are the Apostles."

"A name I've never heard of, doesn't sound very famous." Lu Ce said calmly.

"This organization will become renowned across the world." Zhong Li Rui immediately resumed her air of superiority and started her usual brainwashing spiel.

"We are directly affiliated with He. We are an organization under the command of the Divine, hence the name Apostles."

"This world has become rotten. The arrival of the Game is a chance, a chance to change!"

"Join the Apostles. By approaching the true Divine, we can become a new humanity, break free from the shackles of the old society."

"Those who gained power from the Game but still defy it are the most foolish, like that world's number one, Sin!"

Lu Ce: ?

No way, man, I get insulted up close like that?

"You mean the world's strongest player? Aren't you a little too certain?"

"Exactly!" Zhong Li Rui nodded, "His supremacy is only temporary. There are countless existences above him;

they are the true masters of the world."

"Ah..." Lu Ce felt amused and bored at the same time.

"But actually, if it weren't for his choice this time, Game 3.0 wouldn't have appeared, and the Apostles might never have formed. You people might not even get the chance to become traitors against humanity."

"So theoretically you should kowtow to him."

Zhong Li Rui froze for an instant, her face flushing.

Because she knew this might actually be true! The Game's change did come because of that stranger called Sin.

Tch, what rotten luck, her mission started off badly — the first person she approached today was annoyingly irritating, nothing went smoothly.

This person seemed to have his own train of thought, completely ignoring her line and showing no signs of temptation.

He came off as indifferent, with an inexplicable teasing air.

But she no longer wanted small talk. Her face darkened as she said directly,

"Then, have you decided to join the Apostles and walk the right path?"

Lu Ce ignored her and turned to leave. After the brief conversation, he roughly understood what people in that organization thought.

Humorous, he judged;

they were even worse than the Heaven and Earth Society.

At this point, as Lu Ce simply chose to walk away, Zhong Li Rui still called after him from behind,

"The Game is about to start. You don't know what kind of opportunity you're missing this time."

"Wow, this guy's confidence is really top-tier." From his wrist, Black Knight couldn't help but speak.

"Aren't you going to casually kill her? Since when have you been in such a good mood?"

"Why cultivate murderous intent." Lu Ce said without much emotion. "I'm very peaceful."

"Besides, there's no rush."
