Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 671: The Heroine – My Sudden, Relieved Smile

Hearing the voice in her ears, Feng Wang's head seemed to sprout a question mark.

What did that mean?

It sounded completely like a provocation! As if the other party was deliberately trying to anger her.

But, why would they do that? Moreover, she didn't sense much aggression from the other party's tone.

"I am your teammate, do you understand?"

"We need to cooperate now, what do you mean by saying that?"

Lu Ce listened to the voice in his ears, also not really understanding what this guy was saying. It just felt like some kind of lullaby.

It sounded quite comfortable, making him even sleepier.

In this round of the game, unlike the first time where he forcefully suppressed his desire to sleep, he was now completely going with the flow, sleeping whenever he felt like it.

After all, he needed to seek the opportunity for Overload. How could he achieve it without going along with it?"I... ahhh—"

Lu Ce remained dazed and sluggish for a long while before remembering that he should probably reply. But as soon as he opened his mouth, a long yawn came out.

On the dark green mask, his mouth was wide open, forming the action and shape of a yawn.

This yawn lasted for an impossibly long time, making Feng Wang, who was watching, feel a bit sleepy herself, almost opening her mouth to follow suit.

Thankfully, she held back.

Wait... this is a mask! His yawning action was just the flowing light on the mask's surface!

After realizing this, Feng Wang felt like she had been fooled from start to finish, so she spoke up:

"You... could you take off the mask to talk?"

Hearing this, Lu Ce slowly shook his head, rubbed his somewhat sleepy "eyes," and said:

"Not really possible."

"You might not believe it, but..." As he spoke, Sloth pointed a finger at the dark green mask on his face and said:

"Actually, this isn't a mask. This is me."

Feng Wang was basically immune to this kind of crazy talk by now. She frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

After all, the world is vast and full of wonders; she wasn't in a position to judge.

"Alright, if you might not particularly trust me and have your own plans, you don't have to tell me your identity for now."

"But, what kind of abilities do you have? Can you give me a rough idea?"

"Oh?"

Hearing her finish speaking, Lu Ce seemed to perk up a little, lifting his head to glance at her.

"My spirit is very sluggish, constantly in a state of drowsiness."

"My stamina drains quickly; any action consumes a large amount of my energy."

"I must sleep for five minutes every ten minutes, mandatory..."

Lu Ce, like a sloth, slowly and meticulously listed off the side effects of this mask one by one.

Listening beside him, Feng Wang felt her heart jump with fright with each one.

What a great big useless person!

"Stop, stop, I said stop for a moment."

"What I want to know are your abilities, not these... weaknesses."

"Abilities, huh..." Sloth said with drooping eyelids, muttering.

"I have a bad temper when woken up. Don't call me once I fall asleep later."

Feng Wang: ......

"Haha..." Feng Wang suddenly laughed, a laugh of letting go. She looked around at the floor that seemed to float in space, as if contemplating whether she should just jump off.

When "having a bad temper when woken up" was stated as an ability, she felt as if she had let go of everything.

It was as if the folds of her cerebral cortex were instantly smoothed out, stretched flat. There was a moment of sudden relaxation, like strolling through a forest, her whole person slowly calming down.

It doesn't matter anymore. Let it all end.

Sloth: zZZ.

In the few breaths of her melancholy, the useless person beside her had already lowered his head and fallen asleep again.

"I'll disappear now, guarding this space for you..."

With a cold glance at Sloth, Feng Wang, regardless of whether the other could hear her or not, said this and then vanished from the spot, turning into a phantom, guarding this space.

......

At the same time, in other rooms, nighttime conversations were also taking place.

Xie Antong and the female hero in her room had already introduced themselves to each other, both maintaining a friendly demeanor.

"What is your identity?" Xie Antong's teammate asked, posing the exact same question as that person.

"Oh? You don't know?" Xie Antong said with feigned surprise. "The Troublemaker's partner can act freely. This is the first night, and there's no possibility of attacking someone marked during the day."

"You must be able to tell that I'm an ordinary Player, right?"

Looking into Xie Antong's smiling eyes, the female hero was first stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed as well:

"Ah, yes, I just didn't know what to say, trying to make conversation."

"Oh, really? I was joking. Actually, I thought you were asking me if I had the authority to investigate someone's identity tonight." Xie Antong still wore that same smiling expression.

Female hero: ......

The two were quite friendly with each other, but the atmosphere seemed a bit off.

......

"What's your identity?" the hero teammate beside Sun also asked.

"I'm the boss of the Heaven and Earth Society. What? If we survive this, interested in considering it?" Sun's voice still had that same tone.

His teammate was equally speechless.

In short, the eight Players and the eight heroes forming eight pairs spent the night in their respective rooms.

Some people were attacked by the Troublemaker, others used the authority in their hands to investigate identities. The night time passed quickly.

When the countdown on the game interface disappeared, a loud rooster's crow sounded in everyone's ears.

Then everyone vanished, and when they reappeared, they were back in front of the round table.

Still in their previous positions. Sloth, having been asleep the whole time, suddenly appeared on the chair and tilted to one side. It was Feng Wang beside him who quickly supported his head.

He still didn't wake up...

Meanwhile, Xie Antong noticed that the eight partners now standing beside the Players were each shrouded in black veils, looking indistinguishable from the outside.

It seemed this was to protect those who were the Troublemaker's partners and acted at night, so that injuries or the like wouldn't be directly visible.

[Alright, daybreak!]

[Heh, the first round of the game is a benefit round for the Players, guaranteeing a pass.]

[Please, take turns speaking, and get familiar with each other's gaming habits.]
