Chapter 113: Love Welfare Center

Wednesday, 4:17 AM.

Liu Huai was so anxious because of Bai Liu's speculation, he had already lost a lot of blood, plus he refused to rest and kept worrying about his sister, his vitality and mental value were both showing signs of decline, so Bai Liu simply took advantage of his weakness and directly used sleeping pills to knock Liu Huai out.

Liu Huai is now sound asleep on his straw bed, while Bai Liu and Mu Ke are both awake, still organizing and analyzing the information they have acquired today - mainly Mu Ke's information from the case file room and Bai Liu's information from Bai Liu Jr.

Mu Ke glanced at Liu Huai who was sleeping peacefully on the straw bed with mixed feelings -- he remembered himself this morning, and realized that this Bai Liu guy's chatting style was really very roguish, once he couldn't get through to you, he just drugged you straight away, and this practice was simply, simply... ...

All in all not the way a nice guy would do it.

Mu Ke slowly shifted his eyes to Bai Liu, who was still analyzing and synthesizing information as he leaned against the wall.

Bai Liu leaned against the wall, one leg curled up to hold the paper, the other leg stretched out casually, his face with an inconspicuous fatigue, his eyes with obvious greenish-black, but his gaze was still clear and calm, he lowered his head and continued to write and draw on the paper with a pen, his tone of voice was calm, "Now we roughly understand the operation mechanism of the orphanage and most of the information within the copy, before that, the points that I had doubts about were basically explained clearly, but there are still two points left - and these two points are best not discussed in front of Liu Huai. The points that I had doubts about have basically been explained clearly, but there are still two points left - and these two points are best not discussed in front of Liu Huai."

Mu Ke was stunned.

Bai Liu lifted his head and swept a glance at Liu Huai, who was still sleeping on the hospital bed : "First point, why are Liu Huai and Liu Jiayi bound together, and their life values have been weakened to fifty?"

"I guessed that it was because she was poisoned, but there are two points that don't really make sense. Firstly, why was Liu Huai's life value weakened by half, although this can be deduced based on the game's binding logic, but now, after combining the information you gave me, Mu Ke, as well as the information I got last night from Bai Liu and Liu Huai, I now completely disprove this possibility, because I found the second point of doubt. I've completely disproved this possibility, because I've found a second doubt."

"The second point-" Bai Liu's eyes looked calmly and incomparably towards that little girl on the paper, using his pen to put a big question mark on the skinny girl he drew, as he looked at Liu Huai without any waves, he "If Liu Jiayi was screened in reality for being poisoned by the Blood Lingzhi because of her inbred offspring, or to put it in another way, Liu Jiayi was parasitized with this mushroom that sucks blood, then in that case, it would be a strange thing for her to vomit blood during her escape, it's completely out of the ordinary, the Blood Lingzhi wouldn't have wasted her blood for her to vomit it out. "

"There is also another point that I find very strange, is that the point where she vomited blood was too coincidental, not vomiting earlier or later, it just happened to be when she was about to escape and touch the gate." Bai Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Little Bai Liu's hesitation and consideration at that time was right, because if it was me, I would also wonder if she didn't want to escape and deliberately delayed."

Mu Ke listened gradually began to numb his scalp, he looked to Bai Liu voice lowered: "Bai Liu, you mean ......?"

"But now after synthesizing enough information it becomes obvious that she is acting and lying to me, or rather to little Bai Liu." Bai Liu concluded with glowing eyes.

Mu Ke's spine was filled with a rush of cold air, "But why would Liu Jiayi do that? She's not doing herself any favors by staying in the orphanage!"

Bai Liu's gaze moved to the face of Liu Huai, who was sleeping on the bed, "She should be trying to save her brother and want to stay inside the orphanage until her brother comes over to draw her blood."

"But then she'll die herself!" Mu Ke was a bit puzzled, "How old is she, isn't she afraid of dying?"

Bai Liu paused, "She doesn't always die."

Mu Ke was more and more puzzled, "Why? If you get your blood drawn, you'll just die when your life value is depleted, and she's even more likely to die when she only has fifty points of life value."

Bai Liu slowly raised his eyes, "What if she has a personal skill that returns her life value?"

Mu Ke stayed for a few seconds before meeting Bai Liu's gaze with a stunned look, "Holy shit? No shit? You mean she's ......"

Liu Huai was pushed awake in a half-dream, and as soon as he woke up, he saw Bai Liu's calm and overly calm eyes, but these eyes made Liu Huai involuntarily feel a little cold.

"Jiayi--" Liu Huai shook his head, remembering the issue he was arguing with Bai Liu before he went to bed, the expression on his face instantly faded from the drowsiness of waking up and became anxious, "Bai Liu! You promised me to save Jiayi! I've already given everything for you! You promised me!"

Bai Liu returned nonchalantly, "Maybe your sister doesn't need saving by any of us."

Bai Liu told him his guess.

Liu Huai was stunned, he looked at Bai Liu, his mind's reaction was a bit slow because of the loss of blood, he was a bit confused and looked at Bai Liu's expressionless face, "...... What do you mean when you say Jiayi is acting and lying?"

Bai Liu lifted his eyelids, "Don't you understand, I told you a long time ago, your sister is not as innocent as you think, she is very smart, smarter than you and I expected."

"The system did weaken your group's life value for the sake of game balance, mainly to weaken your sister, without weakening her, this game is unfair to all of us other players, because her individual skills are too strong, in this kind of game where more life value will gain you an advantage, without weakening her and your life value, there is no gameplay left in this game, she exists like a cheat in this game anymore is like a cheat."

"Liu Jiayi has always played the role of a good sister to you, even little Bai Liu was fooled by her - but eventually the cracks were revealed, because of you."

Bai Liu looked straight at Liu Huai : "She guessed the mechanism of this game, she wanted to save you, so she didn't want to run, she pretended to vomit blood in order to stay in the orphanage and wait for you to pick her up tomorrow to have her blood drawn, but she didn't want you to notice her identity, so she was very careful from beginning to end, but in the end, she still revealed a breakthrough because of you. "

Liu Huai shook his head, he couldn't believe it and whispered in disbelief, Liu Huai's body was a bit unbalanced because of the lack of arms, when he got down from the bed his body swayed and almost tumbled down from the bed, it was Mu Ke who stood up to hold him up in a hurry.

Mu Ke couldn't bear to look at the expression on Liu Huai's body - what Bai Liu had told Liu Huai so far was far from the cruelest part for Liu Huai.

Liu Huai staggered out of bed, he walked to Bai Liu and looked at him, Liu Huai staggered on his feet, his eyes were slack and tearful, and he seemed to be completely unable to understand what Bai Liu had just said:

"How can ...... identity, she is just a small child, what identity can she have? I want to protect her ...... well."

Bai Liu tilted his head to look at Liu Huai: "Liu Huai, from the beginning to the end, we have mistaken a logical relationship, it is not you who influenced Liu Jiayi to enter the game."

Liu Huai stood motionless in front of Bai Liu, lowered his head straight to Bai Liu, he was waiting for Bai Liu to tell him the incomparably cruel truth.

Bai Liu said word for word with incomparable clarity, "- Rather, it was Liu Jiayi's desires that influenced you to enter the game, she should have been the player who entered before you, a player who forced the system to take the initiative to weaken her in terms of her life value, and then bound you, her brother, to limit her. A player with extremely special personal skills."

Liu Huai was silent for a long time, as if he had just reacted to the situation, he lowered his head in a beat and looked at Bai Liu with a kind of stagnant and trance-like eyes.

Bai Liu's eyes were ancient, his tone unhurried, "Liu Jiayi is the little witch, the one who's going to work with Zhang Gui's duo in the league, the new star player introduced by the King's Guild, the newcomer ranked number one on the Star Ranking who's personal skill can actively restore life value."

Game hall, inside the King's Guild, Heart Queen's office.

Heart lazily crosses her feet to drop her heels or not, wobbling as she snorts a very large haircut in boredom, resting her cheeks and eyes swiveling as she watches the people on stage give her a lengthy and tedious debriefing.

The debriefer read the report aloud, "Next up is the King's Guild's small TV data analysis for each team member this quarter ......"

"...... this quarter, our team members, small TV comprehensive data rose the fastest is the new player [Little Witch], she entered the game 7 weeks after the stable lock nightmare rising star list first place, popularity and support are high, after entering the guild a few large-scale group battles among the output and support are She is a core level of support for the group battles. ......"

With that said, the debriefer tapped on his system panel, and a huge, video-playing panel popped up floating between them in front of the Queen of Heart, and as if playing a PowerPoint, the debriefer slid across the top of the panel to show it to the Queen of Heart, eventually stopping on a video.

The title above the video is [Forbidden Witch's collection of high-energy cuts - Tonight I have a bottle of poison, I have a bottle of antidote, but it's not Christmas Eve tonight, so guess who I'm going to kill? .

Heart Empress barely raised a bit of interest when she saw the title, she sat up a bit straighter, raised her hand and tapped on the video interface to signal the debriefers to play the video, and asked, "You guys already got the [Little Witch]'s response clip video? Play it for me to see."

The video begins to play at Heart's signal.

Originally dark video, began to slowly appear white smoke, in the smoke swirling around between the appearance of a cloak of black and ground lace dress veil, only half the height of an adult so tall player, she glanced at the camera, and then unconcernedly turned her head away, she is covered with a veil can not see who is inside, but adds a little bit of mysterious aura for her.

She walked barefoot through the misty jungle of the early morning, her pale skin showing through the openwork patterns of the lace embroidery, and her footsteps had a vague yet mysterious lightness of grace that was destroyed the next moment.

Hordes of monsters appeared amongst the jungle as if they were growing along the vines, writhing and soon shrugging out of the rotting ground, and there were players running and shouting at the top of their lungs as they ran through the monster-infested jungle, only to be quickly overtaken and devoured by these writhing vine monsters.

Under her black juan veil stuck out two glass vials with liquids in them, and her feet darted through the jungle, black smoke rising from her veil as she moved crisply to clear and spread the liquids in the vials.

The monster quickly decayed, and the players who begged for her mercy to save them rotted in the forest along with the monster, the witch just saved her own team's players with great precision, while the others she didn't even look at more than once - even though she still had plenty of antidotes in her magic potion bottle.

Images from different games are nested and intertwined on the fly between cutscenes, as witches hidden under ominous black veils bring a prelude to death with poison, and dangle a cure for the soon-to-be-rotting player.

Her footsteps were light, nimble and agile, weaving freely between different monsters and players, her black veil was soaked with the blood of those dead monsters and unfortunate departed players, getting thicker and thicker and stickier, it was impossible to see if what was covered underneath was a human or a ghost.

Drops of blood from the veil fell on the backs of her white feet, and were shaken off again without a care, and along with them the hand of the player who had grasped her ankle in a death grip for help, which left a hideous, bloody handprint on her thin ankle, and was noiselessly covered by the black veil that had fallen as she leaped farther and farther away.

"...... [The Little Witch] has a precise game idea, a very high standard of gameplay, simple, efficient and extremely ruthless attacks, and a psychological quality that is not lost on many of the players who have already played several times in the league, it is really inconceivable to imagine that this is a, well, a... ...

The person reporting below looked at the system panel and paused with a complicated expression.

Heart The Empress smiled imploringly as she took up the conversation without delay, "--Can't imagine that this is a girl who is only eight years old and is still blind, can you?"

The debriefer sighed tersely, "Yes, Empress, the little witch was only seven years old when she first entered the game, yet she was already able to kill her way out of a batch of newcomers by coming in first place, and she was really smart and adapted to her skills quickly."

"The little witch's skills were very special and rare, and at that time, many guilds tried to control her and threatened her to make her join their guilds, but the little witch wasn't controlled or scared by the various tactics used by these scheming guilds, but after realizing her uniqueness, she quickly opened up the charging bidding- -said that she would join whichever guild offered her the most charging points."

"Yes, she was indeed quite a smart girl." Heart recalled sparingly, "At that time, all the guilds in the top ten participated in the charging bidding, a very crazy one."

"And she also relied on charging bidding within just seven games, rushed up to the Nova No. 1 position, and she also kept circling between guilds and cooperating with different guilds to play copies during this period, which made all the guilds further recognize her value, instead of shedding their heavy hands on her, they could only choose charging to recruit her, and thus the charging and pursuing of her Getting crazier and crazier - I remember at that time, her charging for a game could go up to 300,000?"

"Yes." The debriefer slapped his chest heartily and meatily, "That's an astronomical amount for a newcomer, our unions combined charged at least 600,000 or 700,000 points in the little witch's little TV to win the bidding."

Heart casually flipped through the information on the reporter's system panel twice, and Liu Huai's face appeared on it.

Looking at Liu Huai's blank face on the profile, Heart laughed twice, her long hair sliding down from her shoulders as she tilted her head, her smile growing thicker, "And even after charging up so many points, if it wasn't for Wang Shun, a guild player on our side, who managed to find out her weakness- -that is, her brother Liu Huai, who happened to enter the game during that period was known to us, the little witch, this smart little one might not have eventually chosen to settle down and join our King's Guild,."

"But Queen, that's what I'm wondering as well." The debriefer rummaged through the system panel and asked the question with some confusion, "After the Little Witch joined the King's Guild, why didn't she just plug her brother into the King's Guild instead of controlling him through Zhang Gui in such a convoluted way to get Liu Huai to join our guild? Moreover, after Liu Huai joined, the Little Witch didn't let him know that she was the King's Guild's ace rookie player, and she didn't say anything to stop Zhang Gui from torturing Liu Huai like that."

The debriefer wrinkled his eyebrows in suspicion as he looked at the profile of the little witch and Liu Huai above with mixed emotions, "...... gives me the feeling that obviously the little witch's weakness is her own brother, but there is something distrustful, one could even say cruel, about the way she treats Liu Huai ......"

"...... And now that we are nearing the season, why is it that the little witch is still unwilling to accept the props we offer for her eyes to fully restore her sight, but instead has been having to use some intermittent props to restore her sight in the game and maintain a state of half-eye blindness? And you, Empress, have chosen to condone this practice of the Little Witch, which is something I can't understand, a little witch who can see on the field can help us a lot more."

The debriefer looked at Queen Heart, who was full of questions.

Heart's feet bucked and her heels quickly came off her feet, she didn't care but swept a smirking glance at the debriefer across the desk, "You didn't take a serious look at what Wang Shun found out, about the little witch, did you? You go and look at the core of her desire to enter the game."

The debriefer was stunned as he moved quickly to click on the [Little Witch]'s profile that Wang Shun had synthesized and analyzed.

Wang Shun On the core of [Little Witch's] desire to enter the game is written: [Wants to be loved by her own brother, wants to be with her brother forever, wants her brother to love her forever].

Such childish desires are indeed very much like what a naive eight-year-old girl could wish for.

But the debriefers knew beyond a shadow of a doubt in their hearts that the little witch who danced on the palms of everyone's pleas for help, bouncing between the major guilds with ease, was not such a child; she was bloody and cruel and cold, possessing the intelligence of an adult and the innate nastiness of a minor.

Such [core desires] even seem like something she casually flung out to dispatch them and use to deceive people.

The debriefer's brow became tighter and tighter as he looked at the [Desire Core], "Empress, I still don't understand ......"

"You really don't understand women." Heart The Empress's bare foot pointed on the ground, her body leaning forward, her smooth hair sliding down from her collarbone to her snow-white chest, and the reporter averted her gaze with a bit of a blush.

Heart The Empress, however, continued to smile without a care in the world as she leaned forward, "Don't you wonder why the little witch's desire is to have her brother's love? That's certainly if she's in a situation where she feels she hasn't gotten it yet."

The debriefer was stunned.

Queen Heart rested her head lazily on the back of her hand and smiled charmingly, "That's how smart women are, the little witch's upbringing made her completely distrustful of men, and she has a purely natural aversion to men, especially Liu Huai, who was the cause of her harsh upbringing, but she can't bring herself to not care about Liu Huai... -That's similar to me, I don't trust men either, but that doesn't contradict my desire to be loved by them, and most of the time I do get it."

"Of course we both knew that Liu Huai's desire centered on saving his sister, but in order to woo the suspicious, and still a little green and smart little girl, I chose to withhold from her the information we had investigated about Liu Huai." Empress Heart's shoulders shrugged to one side, revealing her snow-white shoulders as she leaned back in her chair as if she had no bones, the smile at the corners of her mouth unabated, "I taught her the more reliable, way to get the love she wanted."

The reporter stared blankly for a moment, "...... At first it was indeed you who personally recruited the little witch, none of us are clear about the specific intermediate process, I remember that at that time you were from the guild's warehouse took a confidential level of transcendent divine props to the little witch, and the little witch agreed to join, but what exactly is this prop, the has been kept secret from us."

"It's all about to start playing league, it wouldn't hurt to tell you what that prop is, the one I took to her from the warehouse is called [Pushk's Tears], it's a prop for the level of consciousness that comes in a very pretty glass bottle." Heart smiles lazily and whispers softly, "It's also a prop that suits the little witch very well, the instructions for that prop are that after drinking it, you can be with the person you want to be with, forever, but that drug will guide her to some very interesting actions - I've had it too. "

Heart The smile on her face was like that of a neighboring sister giving advice, with a compelling gentle murmur: "The little witch was again very hostile and wary of men, but she had a natural trust and goodwill towards women, especially adult women like me, who had a similar experience with her and had great expectations of her, and eventually, at my urging, she drank the vial of magic potion. "

Heart dropped her long eyelashes carelessly, which fell in light shadows in her light-colored pupils, "And then she began to control the brother who kept her on her toes step by step under the manipulation of the drug, eliminating the possibility of the man being in any kind of danger, dividing his mind among others, and eventually turning him into Zhang Gui's puppet. "

The debriefer stifled a shiver.

Heart laughed softly, "But soon the little witch regretted it, she didn't want a puppet-like soulless brother, and she would be filled with misgivings as to whether the affection she received through the prop was real or fake, and at the same time filled with guilt because she hurt Liu Huai in the process."

"She thus became more and more afraid of leaving Liu Huai, unsatisfied and afraid to trust completely, bewildered as to how to go about it, horrified at the possibility of not being able to be together forever, and eventually, at my suggestion, she had to keep, keep asking me for more and more [Pushk's Tears] in order to secure this possibility [of being together] --After all, the effect of the prop description given by the system doesn't lie."

The debriefer looked at Heart's still gentle and gentle smiling face, and couldn't help but start to run a cool air from the back of his spine - obviously such a smart little witch, things have developed to such a point that she has been completely played by this woman, Empress Heart.

No wonder many men whose hearts were broken by the Queen would say that Heart is a woman who is irresistible to anyone. Even after being used to that extent, these men have never said a bad word about Heart and have cried and begged to get back together.

The little witch is also getting caught up in Heart's trap.

"The end result is that she started to constantly verify the possibility of the other person loving her by torturing them and herself." Heart lowered her eyes to look at Liu Huai's face on the panel, she reached out her finger as if in pity and lightly tapped on Liu Huai's side face, and said softly, "What a pitiful younger sister and pitiful older brother, the older brother has clearly made the realization to give up his life for his younger sister, and the younger sister is still doubting you.

"And the sister ends up having to join the league to win huge points to keep her brother safe and in love with herself."

"Usually we women call this process that Liu Huai goes through--" Queen Heart looked up at the debriefer with a wink and a wiggle of her own fingers, smiling with a bit of a girlish, playful air about her. "-The test of sincerity, and of course, the vast majority of men in this world would not be able to pass the test of sincerity that the little witch and I went through."

Thinking of Liu Huai, who was forced to lose his best friend after being controlled by Zhang Gui, and the so-called trials and tribulations Liu Huai was subjected to under Zhang Gui's hands, the Debriefing Man quickly snapped out of Heart's beauty, and he couldn't help but shiver again when he looked at Heart's face that looked like peach blossoms: "...... But what does this have to do with the little witch's unwillingness to completely restore her sight?"

Heart The Empress laughs, "Would you be willing to love a woman who has tested you in this way?"

The debriefer shook his head frantically.

Heart lifted her eyes and she whispered, "But what if she's blind? What if you didn't know that she had tested you and thought she was a helpless, pathetic, little eight year old girl who couldn't live without you? Would you have been able to resist pitying her, to love her and be with her forever because after all the torture she'd been through?"

The reporter stayed for a long, long time, he could not answer this question, and after a long interval, he spoke with some mixed feelings, "Liu Huai, it is a bit pitiful ...... to be tricked into loving such a sister."

"I don't feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for the little witch." Heart's eyes were light, "Because if one day Liu Huai learns that he's been lied to and doesn't love her enough to protect her as a sister, she'll go crazy."

"What about this response video for signing up for the league after the little witch has swiped enough copies ......?" The debriefer inquired tentatively, "Queen do you think it went through?"

Heart nodded casually, then reminded the debriefer as he breathed a sigh of relief, "Be careful to protect her real information, don't leak it so that the other teams and Liu Huai himself know about it, or else you and I will both be in for it."

The debriefer had already been scared for a round and let out a bitter laugh when he heard this, "That's for sure."

"Oh right, the little witch should be painting copies now, which book did she go to?" Heart asked as if suddenly remembering, "When she comes out of the book to inform her that she can start team training, before she entered the game, if it is the second level of the game where life value is more important, she and her bound teammates' life value will be weakened to a great extent, in the late stage we gave her a control system player Zhang Gui, hoping to reduce the system's weakening of her life value by controlling it through the multiplayer, but Zhang Gui died before it could have any significant effect. system's weakening of her lifesteal, but Zhang Gui died before it could have any noticeable effect, and we needed her to adapt to the new team and the new scenario."

The debriefer began to get a headache, "But Empress, we don't know which book the little witch is in now now, we checked all the little TVs that are opening up, and none of them came up with the little witch's TV."

Heart's eyes suddenly narrowed as she reacted extremely quickly, "Would you ask Wang Shun to check if there is any copy where someone has turned off the small TV? She's a top 100 ranked player and is allowed to turn off the small TV."

She finished with a beat, and then quickly sat up straight, her eyes calmly giving an order, "Forget about not having to, just go check Liu Huai's little TV and see if there are any strange players in disguise in his copy."

"Liu Jiayi is a very planned person, she won't do anything beyond her plan unless it has something to do with Liu Huai."

There was a sudden knock on her office and after she nodded her head a sweaty Wang Shun came in and he looked at Heart : "Empress! Liu Huai knows Liu Jiayi is the little witch!"

"Who told him that!" Heart sat up from his chair, his tone sinking.

Wang Shun ran all the way here, he took a couple of breaths and hurriedly said, "Bai Liu! He reasoned it out by the game mechanics! The little witch managed to fool the others, but she couldn't fool Bai Liu, and now all the players are starting to flock to Bai Liu's TV! His TV has over 200,000 viewers! He's rushed to the No.1 spot on the Rising Stars list, and all of the Little Witch's fans went crazy after he deduced that Liu Jiayi was a Little Witch and ran to his TV! What should we do?"

Heart's eyes narrowed slightly, "Bai Liu? That new guy again?"
