Chapter 113.1: Love Welfare Institute (2/2)
Liu Huai shook his head and whispered ‘impossible’ in disbelief. Due to his lack of arms, his body was unbalanced. When he got up from the bed, his body swayed badly and Mu Ke hurriedly stood up to support him.
Mu Ke couldn’t bear to see Liu Huai’s expression. What Bai Liu was currently telling Liu Huai was far from the cruelest part.
Liu Huai staggered out of bed and walked over to Bai Liu. Liu Huai’s eyes were full of tears and he seemed completely unable to understand what Bai Liu had just said.
“How could… what identity? She is just a child. What identity can she have? I’m going to protect her…”
Bai Liu looked up at Liu Huai. “Liu Huai, from beginning to end, we have made a mistake in the logical relationship. It wasn’t you who influenced Liu Jiayi to enter the game.”
Liu Huai stood motionless in front of Bai Liu, his head lowered toward Bai Liu as he waited for Bai Liu to tell him the extremely cruel fact.
Bai Liu paused before declaring very clearly, “It was Liu Jiayi’s desire that influenced you to enter the game. She should be a player who entered the game before you. She is the player who forced the system to take the initiative to weaken her in terms of health and then bound her to her brother to limit her. She is a player with an extremely special personal skill.”
Liu Huai was silent for a long time. He only reacted by lowering his head to look at Bai Liu in a sluggish manner.
Bai Liu’s eyes had no fluctuations and his voice wasn’t rushed. “Liu Jiayi is the little witch, the one who wanted to team up with Puppet Zhang to participate in the league. She is the new star player launched by the King’s Guild who can restore health, the number one newcomer on the rising stars list.”
***
The game hall, inside the King’s Guild, the office of Queen of Hearts.
Hearts lazily crossed her legs and shook her high heels. She was extremely bored as she watched the people under the stage giving her a long and tedious report.
The person reporting read in a loud voice, “Next is the analysis of the small TV data of the members of the King’s Guild this season…”
“Among the team members this season, the comprehensive data that rose the fastest is for the newcomer ‘Little Witch.’ Seven weeks after entering the game, she is firmly at the top of the nightmare rising stars list and her popularity and support rate have remained high. After entering the guild, her output and support in several large-scale group battles is commendable. She is the core support in a group battle…”
As he spoke, the person reporting clicked on his system panel and a huge video panel floated in front of the queen like a PPT. The reporter slid through the panel to show Queen of Hearts and eventually stopped on a video.
The title of the video was ‘Taboo Witch’s High Energy Collection—I have a bottle of poison tonight and I have a bottle of antidote. However, tonight isn’t Christmas Eve. Guess who I am going to kill?’
Queen of Hearts barely gained some interest when she saw this title. She sat up a bit straighter and raised her hand to signal the reporter to play the video. “Have you edited a Little Witch support video? Show it to me.”
The video started playing at Hearts’ signal.
In the originally dark video, white smoke started to slowly appear. In the swirling smoke, there was a player who was dressed in a black lace dress and who was half the height of an adult. She turned indifferently to look at the camera. Her body was completely covered in a veil and her face couldn’t be seen, but it added a mysterious aura to her.
She walked barefoot through the misty jungle in the early morning. Her white skin was revealed through the hollow lines of the lace embroidery and her footsteps were light and graceful. Then this graceful feeling was destroyed the next second.
A large number of monsters appeared in the jungle. They seemed to grow along the vines and wriggled on the rotten ground. They soon rose from the ground. Some players ran and shouted in the jungle full of monsters but they were soon caught and swallowed by these creeping vine monsters.
She stretched out two glass bottles filled with liquid from under her black veil. She ran fast through the jungle and blood smoke rose from the veil as she scattered the liquid in the bottles neatly and simply.
The monsters quickly rotted and the players begging her for mercy rotted in the jungle along with the monsters. Little Witch only accurately saved the members of her team while never looking at other players, even though she still had a lot of antidote left in her bottle.
Footage of different games were quickly interlinked together. The witch hidden under the ominous black veil used poison to bring death to players while using the antidote to pity the rotting players.
Her footsteps were brisk and agile as she moved between different monsters and players. Her black fabric was soaked in the blood of the dead monsters and unfortunate players who passed away, becoming thicker and heavier. It was hard to tell if she was a human or a ghost.
The blood on the veil dripped onto her white feet and she indifferently shook it away along with the player grabbing her ankle for help. A hideous bloody handprint was left on her ankle and as she moved away, she was silently covered by the falling black veil.
