Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 628: A Torturous Game of Wits: A Battle of Wits Against Thin Air

His roar seemed to release countless pent-up frustrations from his heart, all bursting out at this moment.

Since he himself was a player with some strength, although his voice couldn't be described as booming like a great bell, it still had considerable penetrating power, allowing people from several surrounding streets to hear it clearly!

Everyone's minds went blank for an instant, staring dumbfoundedly in the direction the voice came from.

What had they just heard?

Why was someone confessing their feelings at a time like this?!

And who was that person talking about?

If everyone else was like this, then there was no need to even mention Xie Antong. At this moment, looking at the scene before her, she almost choked on her breath.

This also served as a lesson for her—never think you have everything under control.

Whenever she felt she had calculated everything perfectly, some strange character would always come along and stir things up.

"Lust in your heart... you can just think it and it'll fire, why are you shouting..."Muttering in exasperation, Xie Antong even felt a headache coming on.

Although that Lust doppelganger hadn't appeared yet, it was probably also twitching internally...

With varied thoughts, everyone turned to look in the direction of that outrageous confession sound. However, when they actually looked over, they saw a pillar of light shooting skyward!

That light pillar carried formidable energy, even looking unlike a normal Lust ray.

And, as if equipped with some kind of homing function, it automatically locked onto its target, shooting like lightning toward "Sin" high in the sky.

In the sky, Lust, who always looked down his nose at everyone, finally showed a hint of amusement on his face.

As if he had eyes on the back of his head, he slowly turned around, just in time to see everything as the laser shot toward him.

Judging from his movements, it was actually equivalent to him moving the moment the other party acted.

Timing-wise, he seemed to have every opportunity to dodge this attack. Or, in everyone's understanding, given "Sin's" strength, he naturally shouldn't be hit so easily.

However, reality was not like that—in fact, it was completely the opposite. Lust, looking at everything before him, simply spread his arms wide!

He embraced the attack.

Boom!

After the roar of an explosion, no damage was actually caused. Instead, many pink bubbles appeared high in the sky.

"Ah, what a loving strike."

Patting his collar, he looked down condescendingly at the guy who had loudly confessed to him.

With clear disdain in his eyes, he shook his head and said:

"I've received your love. Hmm, very reasonable. Everyone in the world loves me, but with your ugliness, you actually had the courage to say it out loud?"

"Really makes one feel sullied."

He seemed to have completely forgotten what the function of that ray was. Even at a time like this, he was still spouting such nonsense.

But everyone's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets, staring motionlessly at "Sin" above their heads. The city seemed frozen in time.

Even those emotionally disturbed people now snapped back to reality due to the massive stimulus before them, looking up expectantly at the subsequent developments.

Everyone was anticipating whether that lofty figure could fall from his pedestal. Since the attack had already hit, what would be the outcome?

"Wait! Pause!"

Suddenly, while everyone was fixated on "Sin's" outcome, Xu Qi spoke up.

Perhaps the cold wind on the street had sobered him, or perhaps Heaven's Net had subtly reminded his spirit. At this final moment, he still remembered Blank's words.

—Use your full strength to eliminate him!

The world and the gods' test of him was right now. Even though he was the chosen one, "Sin" was never an easy opponent to deal with.

Next was his most critical moment.

As he spoke, he took out a black-and-gold card from his hand, aiming it at "Sin" in the sky.

It was precisely because of this card's special ability that his shot this time wasn't directly settled, but was instead paused.

"My identity is Red Lovers!"

Xu Qi's eyes were bloodshot as he looked up at "Sin," shouting loudly as he revealed his own identity.

Lu Ce: ?

"Who cares what you are?"

"Truly pitiful. Not only are you ugly, but your brain doesn't work well either."

After thinking for a moment, Lust's mind seemed to wander somewhere, and he continued:

"Stop struggling. Face reality. I could never love you."

Black Knight: ...

Xu Qi seemed to not hear at all, staring intently up at Lu Ce as if trying to see some pattern emerge from that purple mask.

He was assessing what expression changes the other party showed after hearing his words.

Because the special ability card he obtained in this game had the following effect:

[After you shoot a player, you can use this card to temporarily suspend effect settlement.]

[During a period of consideration, you can choose to change your faction, settling the effect based on your new faction!]

He was currently Red Lovers. Only by shooting a Blue Lover could he possibly convert the other party's faction.

Although converting factions wasn't elimination, it still produced an effect, so there should be some expression!

But "Sin" listened as if he hadn't heard, showing no reaction at all. He most likely couldn't be Blue Lovers.

Eliminating that option, if the other party was Red Lovers, then he should now convert to Blue Lovers.

If the other party was Narcissus, then he should now also convert to Narcissus!

Without being able to discern other information, it was a 1/2 probability.

But if he had to gamble, the payoff for Narcissus would definitely be highest, because that could directly eliminate!

Dreaming in his heart about eliminating the strongest player, plus being chosen by two gods, and obtaining this ability card at the last moment...

Xu Qi thought this was practically a script tailor-made for him!

But just as he was about to convert to Narcissus, he suddenly jolted in shock again.

He abruptly looked up, staring uncertainly at the sky.

If he really was Narcissus, then there was a risk of being directly shot and eliminated.

But from the very beginning, he had been so ostentatious, completely unguarded, clearly putting on an attitude of "shoot me however you want"!

"Wrong... wrong!"

Xu Qi's card time was almost up. Anxiety and inner greed intertwined, making him look completely on the verge of madness.

Lust hadn't even actively provoked his emotions, yet he was already suffering like this.

"What are you trying to do, fighting wits with thin air?!"

Xie Antong originally found it quite amusing, but watching this Xu Qi adding his own drama and delaying his decision, her intolerance for stupidity was directly triggered.

"With someone like you, you still want to match wits with him... Then wouldn't all my efforts through so many games make me an idiot?"
