Wednesday: 4:17 a.m.
Liu Huai was too anxious due to Bai Liu’s speculation. He had already lost a lot of blood. In addition,
he refused to rest because he kept worrying about his sister. His health and mental values were both
showing signs of decline so Bai Liu simply took advantage of when Liu Huai was unprepared to use
sleeping pills on him.
Now Liu Huai slept soundly on the straw bed while Bai Liu and Mu Ke weren’t asleep. They were still
sorting out and analyzing the information they obtained today. It was mainly information that Mu Ke
obtained from the medical records room and that Bai Liu obtained from little Bai Liu (6)’s side.
Mu Ke looked at Liu Huai sleeping on the bed in a complicated manner. He remembered himself this
morning and found that Bai Liu’s method was really too bad. He didn’t speak and directly drugged
them. This approach was simply, simply...
In short, it didn’t look like a good person’s approach.
Mu Ke slowly moved his gaze to Bai Liu who was leaning against the wall and still analyzing the
comprehensive information.
Bai Liu leaned against the wall, one leg bent with the paper on the other leg. His face wasn’t
noticeably tired. He was clearly bruised but his eyes were still clear and calm. He lowered his head
and continued to draw pictures on the paper with the pen as he spoke in a calm voice, “Now we have
roughly understood the mechanisms of this welfare home and most of the doubts are basically
explained. There are still two things left and it is best not to discuss these two things in front of Liu
Huai.”
Mu Ke was stunned.
Bai Liu glanced at Liu Huai who was still sleeping on the hospital bed. “First, why are Liu Huai and Liu
Jiayi tied together and why is their health reduced to 50%?”
“I speculated previously that it was caused by her poisoning but there were two things not quite
reasonable about this. First, why is Liu Huai’s health also reduced by half? This can be based on the
game’s binding logic. However, after integrating the information you gave me and the information I
got from little Bai Liu (6) and Liu Huai last night, this possibility is completely overturned due to the
second suspicion I found.”
“The second point—” Bai Liu calmly looked at the little girl on the paper and drew a big question
mark on the thin girl. He looked at Liu Huai without any fluctuations in his eyes. “Liu Jiayi was
screened by the blood ganoderma lucidum in reality due to being the offspring of close relatives. In
other words, Liu Jiayi was parasitized by the mushrooms. In this case, it is very strange that she
coughed up blood during her escape. This is completely irrational. The blood ganoderma lucidum
wouldn’t waste her blood by making her cough it up.”
“Another thing that makes me feel strange is that the timing of her coughing up blood is too
coincidental. It wasn’t too early or too late. It just happened to be when they were about to reach
the gate.” Bai Liu narrowed his eyes. “Bai Liu (6) hesitation and consideration at that time was right. If
it was me, I would also wonder if she didn’t want to escape and was deliberately delaying things.”
Mu Ke gradually felt numb as he heard this. He looked at Bai Liu and asked in a low voice, “Bai Liu, do
you mean...?”
“Now it is obvious after synthesizing all the information. She is acting and lying to me, or to little Bai
Liu.” Bai Liu’s expression was serious as he came to this conclusion.
A chill rushed down Mu Ke’s spine. “Why is Liu Jiayi doing this? It isn’t good for her to stay in the
welfare home!”
Bai Liu’s eyes moved to the face of Liu Huai who was sleeping on the bed. “She should be trying to
save her brother. She wants to stay in the welfare home and wait for her brother to come and draw
her blood.”
“Then she will die!” Mu Ke couldn’t figure it out. “How old is she? Isn’t she afraid of death?”
Bai Liu paused. “She might not die.”
Mu Ke became even more puzzled. “Why? If her blood is drawn, she will die when her health is
exhausted. She also has only 50 health so she will die more easily.”
Bai Liu slowly looked up. “What if she has a personal skill to restore her health?”
Mu Ke was stunned for a few seconds before loking at Bai Liu with a startled expression, “Fuck?! No
way? You mean she is...”
Liu Huai was pushed awake from his half-sleeping, half-awake state. He woke up to see Bai Liu’s calm
eyes and he couldn’t help feeling cold.
“Jiayi—” Liu Huai shook his head as he remembered the issue he had been arguing with Bai Liu about
before going to bed. The bleary and sleepy expression faded away and he became anxious. “Bai Liu!
You promised me you would save Jiayi! I have given everything to you! You promised me!”
Bai Liu replied coldly, “Maybe your sister doesn’t need anyone to save her.”
Bai Liu told Liu Huai about his own guess.
Liu Huai was startled. His brain response was sluggish due to excessive blood loss so he looked at Bai
Liu’s expressionless face in a somewhat confused manner. “What do you mean by Jiayi is acting and
lying?”
Bai Liu raised his eyes. “Don’t you understand? I told you a long time ago that your sister isn’t as
simple as you think. She is very smart, far smarter than you and I expected.”
“The system was indeed acting for the balance of the game. It weakened the health of the two of
you mainly to weaken your sister, not to weaken you. This game isn’t fair to other players because
her personal skill is too strong. In this type of game where more health will give you an advantage, if
it doesn’t weaken her and your health, this instance will have no gameplay. She is a cheat-like
existence in this game.”
“Liu Jiayi has been acting as a good sister in front of you and even little Bai Liu (6) was fooled by her.
However, in the end her flaw was revealed because of you.”
Bai Liu stared straight at Liu Huai. “She guessed the mechanics of this game. She wanted to save you
so she didn’t want  to run away. She pretended to cough up blood to stay in the welfare home and
wait for you to pick her up tomorrow. However, she doesn’t want you to be aware of her identity.
This made her very careful from beginning to end. Even so, she showed a crack because of you.”
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 combine 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 floating 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 wallowed 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 antidotes 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.

“Little Witch has very precise ideas and a high level of gameplay. She uses simple and efficient attacks
and is extremely fierce. Her psychological quality doesn’t lose to many players who have participated
in the league several times. It is unimaginable that she is...”
The person reporting looked at the content on the system panel in a complicated manner.
Queen of Hearts smiled in a vague manner and continued his words. “It is hard to imagine that she is
only an 8 year old girl who can’t see?”
The reporter sighed. “Yes. Little Witch was only 7 years old when she entered the game but she was
able to get first place among her group of newcomers. She is very clever and quickly adapted to her
skill.”
“Little Witch’s skill is very special and rare. At that time, many guilds wanted to control her and
threatened her to join their guild. Rather than being controlled and threatened by the various tactics
used by these guilds, she realized her uniqueness and quickly turned on the bidding auction. She said
that the guild who charged her the most would be the guild she joined.”
“Yes, she is a pretty clever girl.” Hearts recalled with fondness. “At that time, all the guilds in the top
10 participated in the bidding. It was a very crazy auction.”
“She relied on these charged bids to rush to the top of the rising stars list in just seven games. During
this time, she kept moving between various guilds and cooperating with different guilds. This made
all the guilds further realize her value. They were reluctant to act against her and could only choose
to charge her points to attract her. This way, the charging and pursuit of her became crazier. I
remember that her games could reach up to 300,000 points charged?”
“Yes.” The reporter felt a lingering horror and patted his chest in pain. “It is an astronomical number
for a number. Our guild charged at least six or seven hundred thousand points to Little Witch’s small
TV before winning the bidding.”
Hearts casually looked through the information on the system panel before stopping on Liu Huai’s
face.
She looked at Liu Huai’s helpless face and laughed. She tilted her head, her long hair falling down her
shoulders as her smile deepened. “Even with so many points, this clever Little Witch might not have
chosen to join our King’s Guild if it wasn’t for Wang Shun successfully finding out her weakness i.e.
her brother Liu Huai and her brother happened to enter the game at that time.”
“Queen, there is something strange.” The reporter rummaged through the system panel and asked in
a somewhat bewildered manner, “After Little Witch joined the King’s Guild, why didn’t she directly
pull Liu Huai to join our guild instead of using a tortuous way like controlling him through Puppet
Zhang? Even after Liu Huai joined, LIttle Witch didn’t let him know that she is the ace newcomer of
the King’s Guild. Puppet Zhang tortured Liu Huai like that and she didn’t say anything to stop it.”
The reporter frowned suspiciously. He looked at the information of Little Witch and Liu Huai in a
mixed manner. “It gives me the feeling that Little Witch’s weakness is her brother but the way she
treats Liu Huai is a bit distrustful and even cruel...”
“Now that the season is approaching, why is Little Witch still unwilling to accept the item provided by
us to completely restore her eyesight? Why does she always use some intermittent items to restore
her vision in the game and maintain a semi-blind state? You also choose to indulge Little Witch,
which I can’t understand. Little Witch with her vision can help us even more.”
The person reporting was full of doubts as he looked at Queen of Hearts.
Hearts’ feet turned up and her high heels soon fell off her feet. She didn’t care and just glanced at
the person reporting opposite her. “You haven’t carefully read the information about Little Witch
that was found by Wang Shun? You should go and see the core of her desire to enter the game.”
The reporter was stunned. He quickly opened the personal data of Little Witch that was
comprehensively analyzed by Wang Shun.
Wang Shun had written the core desire behind Little Witch entering the game; I hope to get my
brother’s love, I hope to be with my brother forever, I hope my brother will love me forever.
Such a childlike desire was indeed like what an innocent eight year old girl could wish for.
However, the reporter knew very well that Little Witch who danced on the palms of everyone wasn’t
such a child. She was bloody, cruel and indifferent with the wisdom of an adult and the natural bad
feelings of a minor.
Such a ‘core desire’ seemed like she was throwing things out at random to deceive people.
The reporter’s brow tightened even more as he looked at the core desire. “Queen, I still don’t
understand...”
“You really don’t understand women.” Queen Of Hearts’ bare feet touched the ground. Her body
leaned forward and her smooth hair slipped from her collarbone to her white chest. The reporter
turned a bit red at the sight.
Queen of hearts continued to learn forward with a smile, not caring about her body at all. “Aren’t
you curious why Little Witch’s desire is to get her brother’s love? It is naturally because she feels she
hasn’t gotten it yet.”
The reporter was stunned.
Queen of Hearts lazily laid her head on the back of her hand and smiled charmingly. “This is what a
smart woman is like. Little Witch’s growth environment makes her completely distrust men. She has
a pure natural aversion to men, especially for Liu Huai who is partly responsible for her harsh growth
environment. However, she can’t make herself not care about Liu Huai. This is very similar to me. I
don’t trust men either but this doesn’t contradict the fact that I want their love.”
“Of course, we all know that Liu Huai’s core desire is to save his sister but in order to recruit this
suspicious, smart little girl, I chose to conceal the information of Liu Huai that we have found.” Red of
Hearts shrugged, revealing her white shoulders. She leaned back in her chair as if she had no bones
and the smile on her face didn’t fade. “I taught her a more reliable way to get the love she wants.”
The reporter paused for a moment. “You were the one who personally recruited Little Witch and we
don’t know the specific procedure. I remember you taking a secret item from the guild’s warehouse
and giving it to her. Then she agreed to join us. What exactly is it?”
“We are about to play the league and it is okay to tell you what the item is. The item I took from the
warehouse is called Psyche’s Tears. It is a type of ideological item in a nice glass bottle.” Queen of
Hearts smiled lazily. “It is also an item very suitable for Little Witch. The description of the item is
that after drinking, she can be with the person she wants forever but the medicine will guide her to
make some interesting actions. I’ve drunk it as well.”
The smile on Hearts’ face was like the big sister next door who gave advice in a gentle, bewitching
whisper. “Little Witch is very hostile and vigilant to men but she has a natural trust and favor toward
women, especially an adult woman like me who has a similar experience and great expectations for
her. Finally, with my advice, she drank the magic potion.”
Queen of Hearts’ long eyelashes hang down and cast light shadows over her eyes. “Then under the
influence of the medicine, she started to control her brother step by step. She eliminated all the
dangers and possibilities of him sharing his thoughts with others and finally turned him into a
puppet.”
The reporter couldn’t help shivering.
Hearts smiled. “Then Little Witch soon regretted it. She didn’t want a soulless, puppet brother. She
was full of doubts over whether the love she got from the items was true or false. In addition, she
was full of guilt because she hurt Liu Huai in the process.”
“Therefore, she became more and more afraid to leave Liu Huai. She wasn’t satisfied and couldn’t
trust it completely. She was at a loss about what to do and terrified of the possibility that they
couldn’t be together forever. Finally, under my suggestion and to continue ensuring the possibility of
‘being together’, she had to continue asking me for more Psyche’s Tears. After all, the item given by
the system won’t deceive people.”
The reporter looked at the still gentle smile on Hearts’ face and couldn’t help a chill going down his
spine. Such a clever Little Witch was completely at the mercy of the Queen of Hearts.
No wonder why so many men who were hurt by the queen would say that Hearts was a woman that
no one could resist. Even if they were used to that point, the men didn’t say a bad word about Hearts
and cried out for a reunion.
Little Witch was also trapped by Hearts and was sinking deeper and deeper.
“The end result is that she started to test the possibility of loving her by torturing herself and the
other person.” Hearts looked at Liu Huai’s face on the panel and reached out a finger as if pitying Liu
Huai. “It is a really poor pair of brothers and sisters. The brother is clearly determined to give up his
life for his sister while his sister is still doubting him.”
“In addition, the sister joined the league to earn a huge amount of points to ensure her brother’s
safety and love for herself.”
“Usually, us women call Liu Huai’s experience—” Queen of Hearts looked up at the reporter and
winked, shaking her finger with a girlish playfulness. “A test of sincerity. Of course, most men i the
world can’t pass the sincerity test of me and Little Witch.”
The reporter thought of Liu Huai being forced to lose his best friend after being controlled by Puppet
Zhang and the so-called tests and torture Liu Huai suffered under Puppet Zhang and he quickly woke
up from Hearts’ beauty. He looked at Hearts’ beautiful face and couldn’t help shaking. “Still, what
does this have to do with Little Witch’s unwillingness to completely restore her vision?”
Queen of Hearts laughed. “Would you love a women who tested you like this?”
The reporter shook his head frantically.
Hearts raised her eyes and she whispered, “Then what if she is blind? What if you didn’t know she
had tested you and thought she was an eight year old girl who was helpless, poor and couldn’t live
without you? Will you still pity her and love her forever despite her torturing you so much?”
The reporter was stunned for a long time. He couldn’t answer this question. Then he opened his
mouth with mixed emotions. “Liu Huai, I feel sorry for him... he was tricked into loving such a sister.”
“I don’t think he is pitiful. The pitiful one is Little Witch.” Queen of Hearts’ eyes were clear. “If Liu
Huai one day discovers that he has been tricked and doesn’t love her, she will go crazy.”
“So Little Witch signing up for the league after clearing enough instances...” The reporter asked
tentatively, “Queen, do you think it is okay?”
Hearts nodded casually. Then as the reporter sighed with relief, she gave him a reminder. “Be careful
to protect her true information. Don’t leak it to other teams and don’t let Liu Huai himself know.
Otherwise, you and I will both suffer.”
The reporter, who was already frightened, smiled bitterly when he heard this. “That’s for certain.”
“Oh yes, Little Witch should be clearing an instance right now. Which one did she go to?” Hearts
seemed to suddenly remember.  “When she comes out, inform her that she can start team training.
If it is a level 2 game where health is important, the health value of her and her bound teammates
will be greatly weakened. I wanted to bind her with a control player like Puppet Zhang to reduce the
weakening of the system on her HP through multi-player control but Puppet Zhang died before any
obvious results could be achieved. We need her to adapt to the new team and new scheme.”
The reporter started to have a headache. “However, we don’t know where Little Witch is now. We
checked all the small TVs that are opened and didn’t find Little Witch’s TV.”
Hearts’ eyes suddenly narrowed and she reacted very quickly. “Have Wang Shun go and check if
there are any instances with their small TV turned off. She is a top 100 player and can turn off the
TV.”
The moment she finished, she sat up straight and gave orders with a calm expression. “Forget it. Go
directly to check Liu Huai’s small TV and see if there are any strange players in disguise in his
instance.”
“Liu Jiayi is a person with a lot of plans. She won’t do anything beyond her plan unless it has
something to do with Liu Huai.”
Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. The moment she nodded, the sweaty Wang Shun came in.
He stared at Hearts. “Queen! Liu Huai has learned that Liu Jiayi is Little Witch!”
“Who told him?!” Hearts’ tone sank as she rose from her chair.
Wang Shun had run over and he gasped for breath before hurriedly saying, “Bai Liu! He reasoned out
the game mechanism! Little Witch successfully deceived others but she failed to deceive Bai Liu. Now
many players are flocking to Bai Liu’s small TV! At present, the audience of his small TV has exceeded
200,000! He is rushing to the top of the new stars list. After he reasoned out that Liu Jiayi was LIttle
Witch, all the fans of Little Witch crazily ran to his small TV. What should we do?”
Hearts’ eyes sank. “Bai Liu? Is it that newcomer again?”
