Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 686: The Special Reef; Perfect Life's Bluff

Naturally, neither Lu Ce nor Jiang Yuan would respond to everyone's questioning. And as the Arbitrator's emotionless voice faded and the light on Sun's body brightened, everyone felt an inexplicable jolt in their hearts.

These three people... were chosen well...

They looked more and more like lunatics, one after another.

As expected, Sun's appearance definitely wouldn't disappoint. Before everyone's eyes could even fully turn towards him, the sound of his roaring laughter had already echoed back.

"Hahahahaha! Quit dawdling! I don't give a damn about your identities!"

"Playing around, it all boils down to figuring out who's the enemy and who's on your side."

"But let me tell you, where is there any such thing as 'your side'?!"

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards Lu Ce, towards that figure who had been sleeping all along, concealed beneath the dark green mask.

"You! Did someone else take over under that mask?!"

"Don't know when it started, but you feel a bit weak.""If you were in your normal state, in the game, would you need to care about so many things?"

"Just kill them all, wouldn't that solve everything!"

Sloth: zZZ...

Sun's soaring killing intent stirred the seawater before him, making it seem as turbulent and magnificent as a stormy sea.

Although players couldn't attack each other at this time, the most intense fire, accompanied by the most violent thunder, made the atmosphere exceptionally oppressive with that kind of imposing aura.

Judging by his intent, if not for The Game's restrictions, what he most wanted to do right now was to start a free-for-all battle to the death.

The last one standing wins. Simple.

Beside him, his teammate Dragon Bone had already retreated even further when Sun unleashed his aura.

Feng Wang, however, was somewhat startled upon hearing Sun's words and turned her head to look at "Sin".

"In his normal state", he would choose to kill everyone present?

He... was that kind of person?

Although he was incredibly powerful when he woke up, Feng Wang rarely felt that kind of intense murderous intent from him.

That kind of killing intent... seemed to be most obvious from the one called "Sun".

Bang!

Right at that moment, Sun slammed his palm heavily onto the table. The immense energy seemed to trigger a massive tsunami.

The tabletop churned with waves, mirroring the inner turmoil of everyone present.

"Can't be bothered to inch along bit by bit with you all. I'm going all in!"

"I'll be waiting for you all, tonight, in my room!"

As he spoke, Sun swept his threatening gaze across the room once more before sitting back down.

Only then did people notice that the movement steps he had given this time were "10"!

He hadn't considered the next round at all, choosing to accelerate the game's progress in his own way.

On the tabletop, the little boat that had remained motionless after the previous two rounds now shot forward like an arrow from a bow, riding the wind and waves.

It charged straight towards the finish line on the opposite shore, moving ten squares!

One-third of the distance!

The Arbitrator had said earlier that the straight-line distance to the final finish line was only thirty squares.

After Sun's disruptive move, the straight-line distance was now only twenty steps.

And the distance to the nearest reef was now only twelve steps!

This move instantly made the situation on the field somewhat tense.

[Hmm?] At that moment, the Arbitrator suddenly let out a somewhat surprised sound.

In the sky, the image representing Him also swayed slightly, turning towards Sun.

[Interesting.]

[How come I never noticed you before...]

Sun: ?

He frowned, already planning to continue his verbal assault, but the Arbitrator naturally wouldn't give him the chance.

[Alright, next.]

Light shone on Tu Shan's body. The fourth person was clearly him.

"Tsk..."

With his hands placed before him, Tu Shan felt somewhat unnatural. This game was too bizarre.

The previous two games were guaranteed to be cleared, so no one felt anything was off.

But now that there was a possibility of failure, why did everyone suddenly seem like a bunch of demons dancing wildly, not knowing what they were doing here?

Three in a row now.

A bead of sweat slowly trickled down his forehead as he muttered softly to himself:

"No way, if that's the case..."

"The Troublemaker in this game might be a bit too numerous."

"Kid, who are you talking about over there?" Sun, on the other side, crossed his arms and spoke with an unfriendly expression.

Tu Shan didn't give him a pleasant look either, glancing at him once before ignoring him completely.

Two had their teammates act for them, another was just messing around.

He couldn't do that. After thinking for a moment, he placed his hand on his own control console.

On the sea, the little boat swayed in the wind and rain. Tu Shan controlled the boat, moving it four squares to the left, then one square forward.

Since the final sailing distance had been shortened considerably by Sun, there was no need for him to inch forward square by square.

He made a rather moderate choice; after moving sideways, the distance to the reef was slightly farther.

[Next!]

As the Arbitrator's voice fell, among the four, Tu Shan was already considered the most normal person.

Light shone on Perfect Life's body.

He wasn't in a hurry to speak, merely looking around the room once.

In this game, sailing proceeded in random order, with each person taking their turn separately, but there was no restriction on speaking.

He knew that the only "Hero" who didn't go last night could only be from his own side.

Unless his partner's strength surpassed his own.

But he believed that among the others present, there were definitely those who also chose not to send out a Hero. Blank's earlier glance had already made that quite obvious.

Yet, no one was talking about this matter now!

It was clear that anyone with half a brain knew that calculating such things was already meaningless.

This game was clearly problematic; it definitely wasn't just about the simple literal rules.

Special game rules always require special solutions.

Closing his eyes, he began unconsciously thinking about what that masked fellow might be planning.

His fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop as he suddenly spoke up.

"Arbitrator, I have a question."

"There are four reefs on this map, but my ability allows me to sense that one of them has a different energy fluctuation."

As he spoke, he pointed towards one of the reefs.

"What's going on with this?"

[Oh?!]

The Arbitrator's voice first paused, then sounded somewhat pleasantly surprised.

[Someone actually noticed! I was planning to keep it as an easter egg.]

[Heh, that reef is a Golden Reef. Crashing into it, while still a failure...]

[However, it can be considered as the player abandoning ship on their own, and they can receive a "unique reward".]

Hearing this, the corner of Perfect Life's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

What Golden Reef...

The reef he was pointing at was no different from the other three.

What he had just said... was originally just a complete bluff...
