Pain Immunity: Worried the Villains Aren’t Twisted Enough-Chapter 48: The Loophole No One Had Thought Of, Aren’t You Going to Ask Why?

“You, what did you say?”
Long Wu seemed not to have heard Jiu Tian’s words clearly, raising his head in confusion and asking again.
What kind of eyes were those? Mechanical and lifeless, making Jiu Tian’s hair stand on end.
But now, obviously, there were more important things, even more terrifying things swirling in his mind, and Jiu Tian didn’t retreat.
“Chosen’s Paradise!”
He almost enunciated each word, staring hard into Long Wu’s eyes.
Five seconds.
The air was silent for exactly five seconds, that time stretching as if a century had passed, making Jiu Tian doubt whether the space had already frozen in place.
Long Wu just stared at Jiu Tian, standing still like a sculpture.
The next moment, an iron chain swung down at Jiu Tian, crashing toward him!
The severed chain, heavy and forceful, swung like a battle axe, and even if Jiu Tian was quick-eyed and quick-handed, he couldn’t dodge it in time!
At this moment, a pair of green boots suddenly appeared on his feet, blasting out a strong gust of air that pushed him back a meter, narrowly avoiding the strike!
Exquisite weapon, responsive boots!
The wind from the chain made Jiu Tian’s eyes sting, causing his face to contort in shock.
If he had taken that hit, at the very least, it would have been a broken bone, torn muscle kind of outcome.
“Raaahhhh! Kill me...!”
In an instant, Long Wu had transformed into a completely different person, his withered body now emitting red steam, as if he had entered an abnormal state.
The bricks on the ground directly cracked open, and rubble scattered.
Jiu Tian, terrified, hid in the corner of the wall, his heart sinking.
The other side… had suddenly gone mad.
After hearing that question, he had gone crazy. Even though he hadn’t answered, it was almost equivalent to answering.
“Kill, kill!” Long Wu, his liberated hands, wildly swinging the chain, striking erratically, while Jiu Tian maneuvered around the room, finally hiding by the door.
The entire room was being torn apart, looking like it had endured an earthquake.
“What... what is this, what Chosen...”
“What are you talking about? Who are you, who am I?!”
“Medicine, medicine... give me the medicine!”
Finally, Long Wu cradled his head in both hands, collapsing to the ground with a painful groan, muttering incessantly.
Jiu Tian stood in place, somewhat at a loss.
“No! No medicine! I won’t take that medicine! Take it away!”
Suddenly, Long Wu changed his mind, and in a burst of energy, sprinted to the farthest corner, banging his head against the wall until it bled. Afterward, his weakened breath turned back to look at Jiu Tian.
What Jiu Tian saw were the clearest eyes.
“Run, run....”
Then, he turned back into that dull expression, as if he had fallen asleep.
Jiu Tian stood in a daze for a long time without speaking.
He could basically confirm that his guess was probably correct.
But, wasn’t the game of Chosen’s Paradise just beginning?! If these people were also players, what was going on?
And according to their memories, they had been trapped here for who knows how many years!
Why weren’t they using Exit Tokens? Couldn’t they, or were they not allowed?
When had they entered the game? The game had already started?
Or was it an asymmetrical timeline?
Jiu Tian took a deep breath, even pulling out his Exit Token from his backpack to examine it carefully.
Looking at the intricate and exquisite pattern on it, he finally felt a little sense of security and put it back.
There’s still an escape route... still an escape route.
But, if that’s the case, then things are starting to get complicated. Can this game really be completed?
This Long Wu... if he really is a senior, his strength is far stronger than Jiu Tian had thought.
If the tasks are the same, then can the things the predecessors couldn’t do, be done by him?
“Find the one who is the sickest.” It sounded like such a simple task.
But, everyone who came before failed.
He needs to find the loophole that no one else thought of!
Is it possible...
And why are they forever trapped here? What did they go through?!
In an instant, Jiu Tian’s confidence plummeted like a frostbitten eggplant.
【: Jiu Tian Special Operations, I need to remind you, this is a mental hospital, all the information you receive needs to be analyzed carefully.】
The official personnel observing in the livestream spoke up to remind him.
【: Additionally, the organization’s requirement is, at critical moments, prioritize saving your own life.】
【: Don’t push yourself.】
Jiu Tian weakly nodded, leaning against the wall, calming his chaotic mind.
“Have there been any updates from the two of them?”
【: Kirk has received answers from the patients, and there’s no one who is the sickest, we are just slaves here.】
Jiu Tian scoffed. Based on his own guess, he felt that the information Kirk received was something he could understand.
“What about the Red Mask side? Any updates from him?”
【: ...Same as usual, no useful information, just opening doors and taking turns torturing the patients.】
【: The patients all claim they aren’t the sickest, we’ve almost stopped observing them, it’s basically just mental patients talking among themselves.】
Jiu Tian sighed deeply, recalling Long Wu’s condition, and the Red Mask’s current crazy state.
“He can’t really have gone mad, right?”
.......
【Breakfast time is over, please return to the initial room.】
The three of them sat in a triangular formation in the center, no one spoke, like silent statues.
Kirk had a thoughtful expression, as if pondering something, while Lu Ce remained the same as always.
Only Jiu Tian, after learning this terrible information, his aura had grown heavy.
【Hello, players, I am the great Tom.】
【You may communicate during rest time.】
【If you have any discoveries, judgments, or game-related questions, feel free to ask me.】
Tom, the iron-skin robot, said in a formulaic manner, then rolled away on its tracks, quietly waiting.
Then, after an unknown amount of time, Jiu Tian finally made the decision to tell the two of them this terrifying information.
Though it might lower their morale, there was no time to care too much.
“Everyone, I have some not-so-good news, I think you should know.”
“In this prison, the ones at the back who always claim to be innocent... are very likely... also players like us!”
After saying this, Jiu Tian looked up to observe the reactions of the two.
But he found that Kirk had turned his gaze toward him, his eyes flashing with sharpness, his expression slightly surprised, and even a bit of joy!
As for Lu Ce, he completely ignored it, not reacting at all!
“.......Aren’t you going to ask me why?”
