Witch trials

Three days later, the next challenge is about to begin.

Bai Liu sent Spades back to the Killer Sequence two days ago and returned to the Wandering Circus to begin preparations for his next challenge.

Stray Circus Conference Room.

Wang Shun stood at the front, he could tell he was nervous, his explanation was not as natural as before, and his speech was fast, "Tomorrow is our second challenge."

"This will be our last meeting before the tournament." He paused, added with a bitter smile, "Hate to pressure you guys, but it's got to be said, this is our last chance to play in the league this year."

"Analyzing the guilds again, first we can rule out Killer Sequence... the teams that have already won a challenge will be the first to go... Killer Sequence is already in the playoffs... and there are only seven teams in our card pool."

"There are three teams that we should pay attention to, and they are also the top three teams among the remaining teams, the second King's Guild, the third Deer Hunter, and the fourth Golden Dawn, all of these teams are very strong, as well as all of these teams have a popularity team that has collected all of their exemptions, so this means that they don't have the need for popularity, and it's very likely that when they play against us they will choose to just forfeit the first two matches and play the third match straight--"

Wang Shun glanced around the room as he took a deep breath, "--which is to say, our weak point, the Regimental Race."

"These three teams have all brought in new people this year." Tang Er frowned and asked, "And from the replay, they don't work well with the team, is it possible to use the newcomers as a breakthrough for the group matches?"

It was conventional thinking that newcomers usually didn't work well with their teams and were prone to be the one to be breached in group matches, but Wang Shun laughed bitterly as he listened, "That's all I'm saying."

"All three teams have very strong newcomers, and they do have some moments where they don't match up well with their teams, but that poor matchup is completely overshadowed by the tactics their tacticians have designed for them and their own toughness."

"First up is the Sister of the King's Crown." Wang Shun tapped the system panel and a video was projected on it.

Phoebe in the video blonde hair and green eyes, hands folded in front of her chest, three pairs of open pure white feathered wings behind her back, her expression as holy as the untainted first snow, she slightly lowered her long curly yellowish eyelashes, and devoutly prayed for a player kneeling in front of her, whose eyes were completely lax:

"May the Lord bless you in hell."

"Come here and let me give you the gospel."

After she finished reading lightly, the feathers behind her quickly closed, circling both her and the player in front of her, the glossy white feathers quickly turned into a layer of black membrane and bone wings, and then opened again, the player who had just been turned into a pile of bones, and Phoebe There was blood around her mouth that hadn't yet faded away, and she licked it away innocently with an expression of innocence, with an insatiable grin as if she had had enough to eat, and her pupils of her eyes turned from green into blood red, and two curly goat horns grew out of her forehead. and two curly ram's horns sprouted from the corners of her forehead.

The scene is frozen in time as Phoebe licks the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Mu Sicheng's scalp tingled a bit, "Isn't this person's title a nun? Why does it look like a vampire."

"Through the information I've poked around to some people within the King's Guild." Wang Shun looked at Phoebe on the screen and sighed with complex eyes, "Phoebe's skill is the same as the Witch's, a very rare two-stage skill with a monster book status that can be replaced."

"Phoebe has two identities, one is a nun and the other is a witch, the nun can possess her own teammates through prayers to reduce the level of damage received by her own teammates, which simply means weakening the opponent's attacks, and at the same time, she also has a skill called [Evangelism], which can make the enemy uncontrollably have a good feeling towards her, lowering their defenses, and pouring out their hearts to her. ."

"At this point, Phoebe usually switches her identity, converting herself from being a nun to being a witch, and sucks the opponent's blood and bones; she does quite a bit of damage, and basically, after being sucked for about ten seconds, a Mu Sicheng level player will be emptied of his bloodstain."

Wang Shun tapped the pile of white bones on the system panel, "--and then it turned into this."

Mu Sicheng got goosebumps, "Don't use me as an example!"

"But her weakness is also obvious." Bai Liu looked up at the screen, "She can't be attacked in close quarters, can she?"

Wang Shun nods, "That's my guess too, Phoebe doesn't seem to have much defense, she's in the control position, Heart usually puts her behind [Shield], the Titan, to protect her, but she's usually not that honest and will run out of the room, so a lot of players will aim for her."

"But because she also does a lot of damage, aiming at her players have died horribly, so there hasn't been an incident so far, and they've basically played the entire group game without quitting early."

Bai Liu was thoughtful, "So she's a decoy at the same time, serving as part of the roving mission."

"What bait?" Mu Sicheng asked confused.

"She was intentionally put out by Heart to run all over the field." Liu Jiayi coldly opened her mouth to explain, "Then she was told to attract the enemy's main attack or roam to attack, just like a spider, spreading its web and roaming around, and then sticking to the prey to suck and counter-kill, which is the responsibility of the [roaming] position player, but since Liu Ji and Qi Yifang were not good at roaming, Heart let Phoebe take up the role of the roaming position. position."

Liu Jiayi looked at Phoebe on the screen and paused, "She finished it beautifully."

"Phoebe doesn't work well with the others, but she works quite well with Heart." Bai Liu propped up his jaw as he looked at the screen with light eyes, "As a team member, being able to work well with the tactician, she's good enough."

"She can't be the breakthrough."

Bai Liu made a simple judgment and quickly turned the tables, "What about Liu Ji and Qi Yifang?"

"What can I say about these two people ......" Wang Shun expression also became helpless, "It's true that they are not strong, but they are the ones that Heart has always brought under his command, their obedience to Heart is very high, and the Skills are also both very distinctive, at the moment I haven't found a breakthrough."

"Qi Yifang, you've already met him in The Rose Factory, he's a roaming position, his skill identity is a weather announcer, very unpredictable, even he himself is very lack of control, but when used well it can have a surprising effect, but his normal attack skill is very solid, not too many breaks."

"Liu Ji, this person's intelligence value is not high, his obedience is top notch, basically the moment Heart gives an order, he can execute it, there is no time difference, so it's equivalent to Heart being his brain, and his skill is [Flaming Bone Hammer]."

Wang Shun seriously pointed at Liu Ji on the screen, whose entire body was burning up, and you could see his bones: "This is his berserk state after his spirit value is below 40, his body is covered in fire, remember, don't let him enter this state, after stacking Phoebe's witch buff, his attack power will increase and become very strong, being burned is equivalent to being hit by Tang Er's gun. one hit is equivalent to being hit by a gun fired by Tang Er."

......

After the meeting, Bai Liu stayed behind to discuss the details of the competition with Wang Shun.

Wang Shun looked worried, "You're still going up to draw the team this time, and according to your luck, you'll most likely draw the strongest team currently ranked in the card pool, which is the King's Crown."

"You're going to fight your old boss soon?" Bai Liu is still in the mood to joke, he smiles, "How's the mood?"

Wang Shun didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "As soon as you're on the stage, Heart will know that I used the last vestiges of my connections in the guild to dig out Phoebe's specific skills, and then she won't be able to talk about East or not East when she can't wait to hunt me down."

"It's Jiayi," Wang Shun paused, "I don't know what the kid is thinking."

"Heart treats her really well."

"Why did Heart treat Jiayi so well?" Bai Liu inquired in a flat tone, "You've been around Heart long enough to know why?"

Wang Shun hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It seems that the reason why the Empress treats Jiayi well is because Jiayi, like her, is particularly averse to men."

Said Wang Shun raised his eyes to look at Bai Liu, deliberated for a moment, said euphemistically, "Especially the kind of bad men who have a lust for profit and like to abduct little girls, the Empress encountered this kind of men on the field, basically let the other party end up in a very bad situation."

Bai Liu: "......"

Bai Liu changed the subject without moving, "I lost two matches in a row, did Charles look for me?"

"No." Wang Shun's face was puzzled, "Speaking of which, I'm also surprised, I even went to him before, he said that he told you not to worry about the investment, just compare it directly, the investment will not be lacking."

"Because there's another gambler besides him who has his eye on you."

Bai Liu's eyes narrowed, "Who?"

Wang Shun expression became a little subtle: "I do not know, Charles only left you a gift box, this gift box or today when I came to see, said that in addition to you other people can not open, is another investor Mr. to give you, said that you open, naturally know the other investor Mr. who is."

Bai Liu paused, "Give me the gift box."

Wang Shun specially went to the warehouse to bring the gift box over, and when he saw the gift box, Bai Liu finally realized why Wang Shun's expression would be subtle when he talked about this gift box - it is a pink and black lace gift box, the edge also hangs a few circles of crystal packaging tape, looking luxurious and ......

Porn.

Bai Liu calmly opened the box, Wang Shun swept the box of things, expression instantly frozen, he violently he looked up to Bai Liu, words do not understand: "This, what is this?!"

Inside the box was a very smart lace corset and panty set, and a belt leg ring - all women's - with a small card on the side.

Bai Liu took out the card impassively and looked down at the fluttering and frivolous words on it---

--Match the set with the outfit I gave you last time. It fits you well. Wear it for me at the game.

Gamblers Union Guild.

"Are you really interested in Bai Liu?" Charles was sitting behind his desk, a meaningful inquiry on his face, "He's the dark horse I've been eyeing for a while now, and I wouldn't want you to interrupt him with a sudden intervention."

"Men who are in your sights usually don't end well."

Zhao Muchi sits across from him, his eyes lazily drooping as he doesn't look at Charles across from him: "Not really. Wasn't it good when Spades went down? "

"That's because he didn't get laid by you." Charles spread his hands, he smiled amusedly, "It's not you he likes, it's Bai Liu."

"All I can say is that I have no animosity towards him." Zhao Muchi's tone was light, none of the outwardly flamboyant tartness he'd displayed in front of Bai Liu and Spades, no emotion at all on his face, sitting upright with an aristocratic elegance, "I'm reminding Bai Liu of that."

Charles' eyes twitched, "Remind him of what?"

Zhao Muchi's face was a mischievous, pleasurable, lazy smile, "Remind him that he's going to be wearing women's clothes for me soon, whether he wants to or not."

Charles paused, no longer in that cynical manner, but composed himself, tapping his fingers twice lightly on the tabletop, "What do you know? That the man went to the island to see you again?"

"Who are you talking about?" Zhao Muchi opened his eyes and looked at Charles: "Bai Liu or Bai Liu?"

"Maybe both, or maybe neither, and you've only just found out about this, haven't you? So quick to come after me with an example?" Charles laughed a little and also played a mute riddle, "We all know that you are a pawn that he has laid for Bai Liu in this world that, what do you think as a pawn?"

"On the Sky City, just by the side of ten years ago, what did you think of all those years of wallowing on that island of love and lust, waiting for that person?"

"Do you still want to be his pawn?"

"No, not one side." Zhao Muchi folded his hands under his chin and he smiled, a very misty smile, like the smile of someone lost in a beautiful dream that won't wake up, "It's two sides, he came to the island to meet me once on my eighteenth birthday, when Bai Liu turned eighteen, too."

After that, Zhao Muchi got up and was about to leave. Charles looked at Zhao Muchi with an unspecified gaze and suddenly asked, "This time, will you press Bai Liu?"

Zhao Muchi's departing back figure lurched, then let out a light laugh, "Do you really think I like Bai Liu? I don't like him."

"I pressed his opponent."

The next day, the viewing pool, the

The deafening cheers hadn't stopped since Bai Liu had entered the tournament - after he won the last challenge match against Spades and broke Spades' undefeated myth, his popularity had remained high, and even though he had lost to Against the Gods and had fallen slightly, he was still in the ninth position, belonging to the top ten star players. He has been popular since he won the challenge against Spades and broke the myth of Spades' undefeated streak.

Everything was so familiar that the host didn't even bother to introduce them, and made a direct joke: "This is the first time you've seen a case of a team playing two challenges, isn't it? Isn't it new? A second challenge by acquiring the other guild?"

--That's a compliment, but it's not, both explicitly and implicitly accusing Bai Liu of being shameless, breaking the rules, and actually playing the challenge twice.

But no matter how much the hosts looked down on it, Bai Liu did not break the rules and he did get to challenge for a second time.

As soon as the moderator opened his taunt, there was a chorus of boos from the audience - it was booing the moderator, and there were shouts that if you don't have the level, get off your ass and let me commentate, so the moderator shut up in a cold sweat.

It's a common practice to taunt newcomers to the league, and he forgot that Bai Liu is a newcomer as well as a top 10 player, so taunting him randomly is going to stir up a rebellious mindset.

Bai Liu went forward to draw a lot in an unusual manner, and after drawing a lot, he handed it to the staff next to him, who opened it and held it up for display -

-[King's Crown].

The host instantly branched out again when he saw this draw, and he held up his microphone and shouted, "It's our second most popular guild, Heart Queen's Guild! King's Crown!"

"Will the Wandering Circus succeed in their challenge! We'll see!"

"Of course I personally don't think it's very likely, the Comparison Queen is so beautiful, not, so strong!"

Wang Shun looked at his system panel, the support rate that continued to go down as soon as he opened his signature, he clenched his fists, and cold sweat could not help but seep out of the corners of his forehead.

Although he had known that his support would drop after the signing was opened, this rate still scared him a bit.

"Will both tacticians please come forward to shake hands!" The host joked again, "Shaking hands with the Queen is the dream of all male players in the entire game except Spades, Bai Liu is really lucky."

Heart is wearing a very sharp dress pants today, tied in a ponytail and a beret that looks very easy to move around in.

"I've been looking forward to my match with you for a long time." Heart curled her red lips as she held out her hand, "Finally, I've waited for this day, Bai Liu."

Bai Liu looked up at her and smiled, "I hope it's a good match."

"Yes!" The host waved his hand and yelled, "The match, officially begins!"

[System Alert: The King's Crown side has forfeited the single and double matches.]

[System alert: Directly load the regimental program.]

[...... is loading the game ......]

[System alert: Both players logged into the game "City in the Sky"]

[(King's Crown) vs. (Wandering Circus), a five-player team competition game, officially begins.]

Bai Liu opened his eyes, he was inside a shaking container, the container was pitch black, Bai Liu quickly tapped on the system panel and used the light on the panel to inspect his surroundings while verifying the mission:

[System Alert: Player Bai Liu has gained the status of "Preparing Witch"]

[Player Bai Liu activates main quest]

[Player Bai Liu gets a background tip for the game]

[...... This is a strange eel creature invaded by a small remote country near the sea, this country is full of this kind of pervasive, reproducing very fast eel trouble, the whole country has been flooded to the point that when you turn on the water pipe, the water pipe out of the water is not the water, but the eel that is drilling everywhere... ...]

[Scientists in the country studied for a long time, trying to solve this invasive species with many ways, whether it is with physical knife and fire, or with chemical strong acid and alkali, there is no way to destroy a piece of this strange eel's scales, just as the whole country to fall into despair, there is a scientist who found that his own wife's saliva can actually dissolve this kind of eel, and after a series of research, it was finally determined that --The saliva of female human body can dissolve the eel.]

[So brand-new biological approaches were proposed, and sooner or later this biological disaster would be solved if we just kept eating eels alive.]

But something strange happened again, scientists found that when a woman swallowed a certain number of eels, her body would appear to have some other changes, they will become ugly, scales grow on their bodies, and even evolved a series of flying, teleportation superpowers, and even evil cannibalism - this is exactly the same as the ancient legends Witches in ancient legends].

[Everyone began to fear the witch-ized people, and at this moment, the Supreme and Holy Judgment Court stood up, and they have the faith of the whole nation's citizens, and the people of the Judgment Court said that as long as one carries a strong faith, no matter how many eels one swallows, one won't be witch-ized, and that those who were witch-ized were originally evil-minded people who wanted to have the power of evil and wanted to eat them!

[These people are just revealing their true colors catalyzed by the eel. Don't be afraid, everyone, kill them!]

[Once all the witches have been thoroughly tried, everyone will be back in a safe environment, witches are not infinite, they are just a shady few!

[Up to this point, a vast witch kicked off, and countless witches died under the torture of the Inquisition, which led to the fact that there were not enough women digesting eels in this country, and they began to secretly smuggle and abduct women from other countries to come over.]

[And you are a trafficked "woman" from another country.]

[Main quest: Get the "Witch's Heart" and put it on the tower in Sky City to end the witch trials.]

[Side quest: Now inside the container, be careful that the others don't realize you're a male; if there are witches among them, they will surely kill you.]

[Friendly system note: Witches kill all the men they meet.]

Bai Liu's movement of holding up the panel lurched as he read through the list of tasks before slowly moving his eyes down to the clothes he was wearing-

It was dirty, but it was indeed a women's outfit all right.
