Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 638: Xie Antong's Oppressive Presence—The Two-Dimensional Unfolding of the All-Knowing Eye

"Is there something you need? Zhong Li Rui!"

Zhong Li Rui!

When that name left her lips, Zhong Li Rui's mind went completely blank. The smile that had been on her face froze in place.

She had heard of the reputation of Divine Punishment's leader, Blank, but had never actually met her. Today was her first time seeing the other woman in person.

And she wasn't some famous, top-ranked expert either, so how... how did she know who she was!

Simply being called by her name was enough to snap her out of her smug, self-satisfied mood. She swallowed hard.

Originally, becoming an Apostle and being contacted by that voice named [Lust] had made her feel quite proud.

But now, it seemed the true depth of top-tier players was something you only understood after meeting them face-to-face.

"Why aren't you speaking?"

Xie Antong frowned. Without moving her body, she tilted her head at a slight forty-five-degree angle, using the side with the monocle to look at Zhong Li Rui.A cold light reflected off the single lens, chilling the viewer to the bone.

"How do you know my name?" Zhong Li Rui asked, her expression turning ugly.

"I know a lot more than that. Is that really all you want to say?" Xie Antong replied somewhat coldly.

"I also know your birthday is September 17th, you're 31 this year, your father had an affair and caused a divorce years ago, and you grew up with your mother."

"That's all ancient history. Today, you entered the game's range by charging straight in from Donghu North Road Street, and then immediately started using your ability to contact and confirm people within the Apostles."

"You also never completely lost your senses earlier. You maintained your own judgment even when emotions were surging."

"Also, you really are a piece of work, aren't you? You ate at that restaurant at noon, and when you started causing trouble tonight, you set the place on fire?"

Xie Antong spoke calmly. Earlier, when she was controlling the other Apostles, she hadn't sent a message to Zhong Li Rui.

Mainly because she knew the other woman had some ability and wouldn't be so easy to control, so she had let it be for the moment. She hadn't expected the other party to actively seek her out.

As Zhong Li Rui listened to what the other woman was saying, she felt a growing chill in her heart. She felt as if she had been stripped naked and was standing right in front of her.

From the moment she discovered the [Apostles] organization, any Apostle member Xie Antong could confirm had never left her surveillance!

"You..."

"Is there something you need? My time is rather tight right now."

Having successfully intimidated the person before her, Xie Antong looked up again, gazing at the frenzied battle raging in the sky between Lust and the others.

What she had said earlier was deliberate, meant to deliver a warning. She was also very curious about what message that god wanted to convey.

"The God of Lust says that currently, it seems he has never heard of any relationship between Divine Punishment and the Apostles, yet today you took it upon yourself to swindle and deceive people in their name."

As she said this, Zhong Li Rui herself frowned a little. Honestly, she didn't really understand what it meant.

After all, Xie Antong hadn't contacted her before.

Although she had come with a command, she had originally planned to probe and ask questions indirectly. But the gap in their levels was simply too vast. She decided in that moment to just hurry up and finish stating her business.

"So, the god says..."

"Tell her the exact words. No matter your purpose or your plans, you are from Pleasure's side. You should know what to do."

"In a moment, when he starts to lose control a little, that will be the best time to act."

"Use your Stimulation!"

Listening to Zhong Li Rui, who sounded like a mere mouthpiece, finish relaying all the words, Xie Antong nodded. Just as she thought.

It seemed her acting this time had been a bit too convincing. After all, she genuinely did want to defeat Lu Ce.

Was this Lust actually seeking an alliance with her?!

At this stage, had Lu Ce already reached a level where he was forcing the Divine Messenger—no, the Divine Avatar—to seek allies to deal with him?!

Really, they were becoming more and more unscrupulous...

"Leader Blank, do you have a reply?" Zhong Li Rui asked, performing her duty with utmost diligence.

"A reply?"

Xie Antong let out a cold laugh, looking at the turbulent air currents in the sky.

She could see Lu Ce's current state clearly.

That Lust's Chosen had probably already entered his body and was attempting a possession.

What a suicidal attempt...

"Alright, I understand." After Xie Antong finished speaking, Zhong Li Rui gritted her teeth, then quickly turned around, intending to leave.

In this game where force wasn't the primary focus, the pressure Xie Antong exerted was simply too immense.

However, the next second, a faint breeze swept up from behind. Zhong Li Rui shuddered instantly. Just as she was about to defend herself, a syringe was already inserted into her neck.

Zhong Li Rui: !

What kind of speed was that!

Wasn't Blank supposed to be a strategist?

"This stimulant clears the mind and helps you stay calm, so you can listen to my commands later." Xie Antong's somewhat icy voice came from beside her.

"Th... thank you?" Zhong Li Rui said hesitantly.

But the next second, another syringe was jabbed in.

"This one... if you don't get the antidote within half an hour, you die!"

After saying that, Xie Antong quickly pushed the other woman away and withdrew herself, leaving.

This person gave her a bad feeling. Even if her strength wasn't sufficient, she had to treat her with caution.

The time that followed was the most critical moment.

Not caring about Zhong Li Rui's current state, the battle high in the sky had now begun to take on a strange, eerie quality.

Lust's ability and the power of Lust were engaged in a frantic tug-of-war within Lu Ce's spiritual world, stretching his emotions to the breaking point.

The power of emotional radiation was leaking out on a massive scale, causing everyone in the entire city to start acting a little crazy. Jiang Yuan, who was closest and responsible for letting Lust vent his emotions through battle, now had bloodshot eyes.

This world was sliding into irrationality at an unimaginable speed.

Then she would be the most rational person here!

Injecting herself with another dose of the stimulant, Xie Antong's expression turned serious. She opened a channel to address all the Apostles in the city.

"Listen to my command!"

Stimulation?

She would absolutely never use a skill like that on Lu Ce.

Even for her own goals, she would never consider allying with Lust to deal with "Sin."

"Your movements now... are becoming predictable..."

Countless streams of data raced across the lens before her eyes. Then, countless All-Seeing Eyes materialized in the air, taking form!

The Apostles were all a bit confused. They hadn't heard Blank's voice for a while.

And immediately after, they witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives!

The buzzing All-Seeing Eyes before them performed a two-dimensional expansion. A membrane of energy particles adhered to the eyeball of every single [Apostle]!

The world before their eyes instantly changed! It was as if the world before each of them had turned into a giant pixelated block, divided into clearly marked coordinate grids!

The Apostles were all stunned, their mouths hanging open in shock.

"Everyone, you've all played video games since you were little, right?"
