"Aaaahhhhhhh!"
Following Lu Ce's command, Wang Ao on the opposite side let out a mad roar, closing his eyes and randomly stabbing!
"2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! ..."
The metal scraps transformed into the sharpest steel knives, falling frantically. Some pierced palms, some sliced off flesh, and some missed entirely, stabbing into the ground.
Wang Ao exerted so much force that his hand holding the metal shard was completely cut, blood flowing from it and mixing with Lu Ce's blood.
Wang Ao performed his task as if driven mad. He couldn't believe that any mortal being in this world should react to such attacks.
Even he, who enjoyed pain and torment, wouldn't do so like the person before him.
Even without reacting to pain, it shouldn't be like this! In Wang Ao's eyes, the other person seemed to not even consider it his own body!
Midway through the hundred strikes, he even extended his other hand, grabbing Lu Ce's wrist, wanting to confirm if the other person was still there, or if he had dodged.
But he was disappointed. Lu Ce's hand remained in place, unmoving, as if it weren't his own.
Lu Ce indeed felt that way.
He also closed his eyes, his pain immunity, coupled with his mental confusion, meant he didn't feel anything was wrong.
Only the occasional voice in his mind reminded him of the benefits he was receiving.
[Chosen of Suffering, suffering points +1!]
[Chosen of Suffering, suffering points +2!]
[Chosen of Suffering, suffering points +1!]
Later on, perhaps because his hand was nearly rotten, the suffering points received became fewer and fewer.
"97, 98, 99, 100!"
Wang Ao hoarsely shouted the last few numbers, then abruptly broke free from the person's hand and looked down, seeing the unrecognizable palm.
Then, Lu Ce's calm voice reached his ears once more.
"Finished with 100? Then it's time to answer my question."
"Your game is good, I like it very much."
His voice was steady, his attitude gentle.
"Hehehe, haha, what are you?!"
After a couple of meaningless laughs, Wang Ao instantly broke down, roaring at Lu Ce and lunging forward with the knife in his hand.
"Die, die for me!"
As if insane, Wang Ao forcefully plunged the knife into Lu Ce's shoulder. Lu Ce didn't even dodge.
But when he tried to pull the knife out, he found that with Lu Ce's muscles tensed, he couldn't even extract the metal shard!
No time to think, or rather, he had lost the ability to think. The next moment, the world spun, and with a bang, he was slammed onto the ground.
A large hand gripped Wang Ao's face as Lu Ce pressed down.
With a surge of strength from his five fingers, Wang Ao felt his head was about to explode, intracranial pressure skyrocketing!
That was not the strength of a human. Although Wang Ao's own strength had long surpassed human limits, he now firmly believed that he was no match for the person before him.
"How is this possible! How can you have no reaction at all?"
"What are you!!!"
Wang Ao roared, the rationality he had moments ago vanishing without a trace.
Their illness was like a protective shell, trapping them securely inside, alienated from the outside world.
But now, Lu Ce had shattered this shell with the method he was most familiar with, and in an instant, a tide of fear had engulfed him.
The red mask on Lu Ce's face was constantly forming various expressions with flowing light, unpredictable.
"Do you know? Actually, once, a woman had a similar reaction to you. She played games with me, and while playing, she even tried to kill me..."
"You're luckier than her. With her, I didn't give her another chance to speak..."
"Your game is good, but it's over. Shouldn't you answer my question now?"
Lu Ce had both hands pressed down on Wang Ao, including the palm that was basically rotten, so the other person was covered in blood.
Wang Ao had long lost his previous composure, looking at Lu Ce in terror, repeatedly muttering.
"I don't know, I really don't know, I actually don't know anything."
"I used this method to trick them before, I had no idea who was the most seriously ill!"
"Wait... you, it's you! You are the most seriously ill person!"
"I get it, I finally get it, you are the most seriously ill person!"
Lu Ce forcefully lifted the other person's head and smashed it hard onto the ground with a clang.
Does it sound good?
"Good to hear is a good head!"
"Who asked you that! Did I say I was asking about that?"
"Huh?" Blood seeped from Wang Ao's forehead as he gasped for air, asking unconsciously, "Then, what do you want to ask?"
"I'm asking you, based on what we said earlier."
"Three equals four, four equals five, what does five equal? And what does six equal?"
"Oh, right, all of these equal zero. If it's zero, then our game just now doesn't seem to be over, there are still a hundred more..."
Wang Ao: ...
His eyes instantly became vacant, empty as if he were dead.
"Heh, hahahahahaha."
Suddenly, pinned to the ground, he began to laugh meaninglessly.
[: It's over, they've driven the kid crazy.]
[: Seriously, the ultimate tormentor. It's only an hour lunch break, why does it feel so long.]
[: Too terrifying. Ever since he arrived, he hasn't let us eat or take medicine, and then he randomly picks a patient to torture. Is he the devil... ]
"Why, how... it's starting again, they're torturing me again."
"Are you those people who tortured me before? Why have you changed your methods this time..."
Wang Ao's eyes were unfocused, his mouth moving open and closed, mumbling these words incoherently.
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in Lu Ce's eyes. For the first time, his reason forcefully suppressed the chaotic spirit of the Gluttony Mask, and he asked:
"Who? Who tormented you before?"
Wang Ao's eyes immediately regained some clarity, but his confused expression was far worse than before!
He clutched his head with both hands, writhing in pain on the ground.
"What? What torment? What did I just say?"
"Medicine... where's my medicine! Why hasn't my medicine arrived today!"
"Ah!!! Kill me, who are you? You... no, kill me!"
In the dim prison cell, Wang Ao's heart-wrenching screams echoed incessantly, as if he were enduring the most terrifying torture in the world.
