Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough

Chapter 771: A Double Meaning, The Will of Yan and Huang!

"What?!"

Upon hearing these words, Perfect Life felt as if struck by lightning.

His shock at this moment was no less than Xie Antong's had been moments before. His body remained motionless, but his head forcibly twisted to an angle, his trembling pupils glancing toward the direction behind him.

What did he mean by 'if I don't win, his winning wouldn't be interesting either'?

Did they have any friendship? They had only just met once in the real world recently. Why would he suddenly go to such lengths to help him like this?

He had already wasted his own opportunity in the game earlier...

Thinking this, the burden in Perfect Life's heart grew even heavier.

He couldn't save more players; the number of ordinary players who had died in this sea was beyond his counting. He couldn't win the game himself, and was now squandering the help of humanity's strongest player.

Perfect Life felt that the invincible heart he had accumulated over all the years since his birth was utterly shattered this time.

So this was his true level...Perhaps with this kind of mindset, it was already equivalent to [Despair] having won.

Watching Perfect Life continue to sink into endless doubt and despair, [Despair]'s face showed a rare flicker of expression.

It seemed this person had been tormented enough... It should be almost time to reel in the net.

Only the Arbitrator, in a position unnoticed by the others, had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Because He saw clearly that the cunning, somewhat cruel eyes on that blue face were still looking upward, watching Him as He spoke those words!

By now, after the words "the rules" were spoken, regarding Lu Ce's various crazy performances from the start of the game until now, He felt He had begun to understand a little...

But He showed no reaction, merely avoiding Lu Ce's gaze.

[Alright, let the game continue. The time I've given you should be more than enough.]

[Congratulations on saving everyone, but you still haven't made the correct choice. You need to think a bit more.]

The voice of [Despair] came from the massive skull's head, and then the red moon light in its eye sockets blazed brightly, summoning another new batch of players.

At the same time, [Pleasure], who had been watching his own countdown and whose time was probably running short, also looked at Lu Ce and spoke with a laugh:

[Not planning to say anything to me? Try bribing me to see if I can help you get a word that's easier to start with?]

He spoke without any pretense now, completely ignoring the fact that [Knowledge] was still standing by his side.

However, [Knowledge] didn't mind this blatant act of betrayal in the slightest.

Lu Ce also looked over at the sound and said:

"Sure, then you just..."

At that moment, [Pleasure] suddenly interrupted:

[Little guy, you actually believe me? You're giving me orders now?]

[What if I don't help you this time, and even publicly announce the word you want? What will you do then?]

His eyes were intensely aggressive, looking at Lu Ce with amusement as he spoke.

[Knowledge] beside him glanced sidelong at Lu Ce and said coldly:

[Don't you have that die? Perfect time to test whether He genuinely wants to help you or not, right?]

"You mean this?" Lu Ce said, flipping his hand to produce his Die of Fate.

This die was, for [Knowledge], the place where the nightmare began—when "Sin" first won through trickery in a mini-game and angered Him.

Now, "Sin" took it out right in front of Him again.

However, Lu Ce merely looked at it for a couple of moments, then casually tossed it away, throwing the die into the distance where it directly fell into the Despair Secret Sea!

[Knowledge]: ?

"This kind of thing isn't interesting. It's only useful when playing some second-rate games."

"When it's time for a real gamble, I choose to trust my own judgment."

"Pleasure, if possible, please give me a word ending with 'yi'."

[Pleasure] didn't respond, merely narrowing his eyes and studying him seriously for a while, before slowly raising his finger.

[Flame!]

Xie Antong instantly clenched her teeth. She knew it—a being like [Pleasure] couldn't be expected to act according to normal logic.

This time, He did not give Lu Ce the pronunciation he wanted.

[Heh, although you're quite interesting, I don't really like your confident, all-knowing demeanor as if you've seen through me.]

As His voice fell, the space instantly transformed into hell. The temperature skyrocketed, and blazing firelight filled the pitch-black space everywhere, as if everyone had been thrown into a massive alchemical furnace.

[Oh dear, no offense meant to you all. My level is rather low, I just randomly thought of a word. Hope it doesn't trouble you too much~.]

[Pleasure]'s laughter sounded somewhat grating. This move was no longer about giving "Sin" any convenience; it was following [Knowledge]'s plan, putting them on a life-and-death countdown!

"Tsk, why are you so hard to trick this time?"

Lu Ce scratched his head in annoyance and shouted into the distance:

"Hey! Have you figured out the correct choice yet? Things seem a bit off over here!"

Perfect Life gritted his teeth. He didn't know what the correct choice was either, but he couldn't just do nothing. He could only continue rescuing people first.

Seeing him like this, Lu Ce spoke as if disappointed by his failure to improve:

"You can't always be like this."

"Always just playing within restricted thinking, treating habitual thought as your true mission? Hurry up and break free. If I die, your chance is gone too."

His words struck Perfect Life's ears like a thunderclap, or perhaps... not just Perfect Life's ears!

After speaking, Lu Ce also shook his head and looked back at [Pleasure].

"When I asked you to give me a word ending with 'yi', my original intention was to say something like 'will' or 'determination' to light a fire under that confused, weak guy."

"Instead of the fire I wanted, you really went and set a big blaze."

[Yes, if you predicted everything, where's the fun in that?]

[What do you plan to do? Are you going to condemn me? I'd be quite happy if you did.]

"No, no, no. Chinese word formation is quite marvelous. I said I believe in myself because with a noun like 'will' or 'determination', you can pretty much stick any adjective in front of it and it'll work. So even if you don't help me, my loss isn't that great."

"However, I didn't expect that the word you gave seems even better... Looks like today is my lucky day."

As he spoke, he raised his finger.

"Yan Huang Will!"
