At the beginning, Tang Erda had contact with Hong Tao. In essence, he felt that the woman in this timeline might be connected to Bai Liu, and wanted to use her to find clues about Bai Liu. At that time, Tang Erda had just gone to the welfare home to confirm the death of another "Bai Liu", but he was still in the stage of doubt, so he got in touch with Hong Tao. What he didn't expect was that Hong Tao actually had no contact with Bai Liu in this timeline.

After all, who could have imagined that Bai Liu in this timeline would enter the game so late, and then finish what he had to do within three games at eight times the speed, and lead a new team to grow rapidly to the point where they could compete with their old friends.

If we continue to let this go on... Tang Erda gritted his teeth and wrote back to Hong Tao: [Okay, you ask someone to block other games, and I will personally hunt him down.]

Red Heart: [Do you know what game he is in? ]

Tang Erda: [Level 3 Game]

Liu Jiayi was injured. In order to avoid the second-level game that limits her skills by using health points to control mortality, Bai Liu would definitely take the risk and enter the third-level game to save her - he has always been good to his teammates.

Hong Tao replied quickly: "If you are sure that Bai Liu has entered the level 3 game, I have three high-level guild players with good attack power. They have practiced level 3 games and are our team's reserve members. Let's surround Bai Liu together with you. Bai Liu is not easy to deal with. See you at the game login entrance."

The clearance rate of the level 3 game is only 10 to 20 percent, and Hong Tao just casually gave him three guild members to [use]... Hong Tao is still as ruthless as in other timelines.

She didn't take the lives of the members in her guild seriously at all. Or rather, after entering this game, everyone's life was no longer a life, and these members probably didn't take their own lives seriously either.

As long as they can be resurrected, their lives are just a string of data carrying their souls.

————————————

Game login.

Hong Tao had big burgundy waves on her hair, a rose-red peaked hat on one side, a crisp suit with an off-shoulder short top and a matching skirt, and she walked towards him with a pair of inhuman-looking pointed stilettos that were shaped like a heart. She walked towards him without looking around.

Behind her followed several hundred members of the King's Guild, who were wearing playing card uniforms in black, white, and red, and in the shapes of peach, diamond, and heart.

These members followed the Queen closely and dispersed to the large screen next to the game login entrance to select the game. They selected the games they were confident of passing according to their levels, panels, and skills, and then entered in an orderly manner and disappeared behind Red Heart.

These people's movements were not chaotic at all, and there was not a single chaotic sound from beginning to end. Their operations were extremely quick and skillful, and they could tell whether they could pass just by looking at the game interface.

As these people entered the game, system prompts sounded one after another at the game login entrance:

[System prompt: The player whose mini TV you have collected has logged into the game. Please go and watch.]

By the time Hong Tao walked in front of Tang Erda, the members behind the woman had almost disappeared.

At the same time, the one hundred games on the public game screen that were originally marked with green [waiting...] in the lower right corner and were not full, just like turning a page, in the few steps that Hongtao took, all turned red behind her, indicating that the games were full. [full]

Ordinary players who were selecting their options and preparing to enter the game were stunned when they saw the page turning red all over the screen, and they automatically made way for this huge and confusing action.

Some ordinary players who had recognized the members brought here by Red Heart had their eyes wide open in astonishment.

Unable to suppress their desire to gossip, they whispered behind Hong Tao's back and discussed in low voices:

"Oh my god?! What's going on?! These are all the reserve players of the King's Guild Team! Shouldn't they be training in the pool? Why are they in the ordinary player area? And Red Heart is leading the team!"

"... Such a strong sense of pressure. As expected, I am a player who is going to play in the league. I am different from ordinary players."

"That's not right. The game will start in two months. Why are they here instead of training hard? Did any ordinary player offend them? The momentum of this encirclement and suppression..."

"Am I the only one who noticed how scary these reserve players' dashboards are?! The attribute points on these players' dashboards are almost S-!"

"This is the result of the King's Guild's previous devilish training. Their game pool training has always been terrifying, driving many high-level players crazy. It was rumored before that the Puppet Master was only selected by the Red Hearts because of his complementary skills with the Little Witch. Because the Puppet Master's total attribute points are too low, they have been using intelligence as a gimmick, and ended up failing on a newcomer..."

"Oh my god, so they are sending out to help Hearts deal with Spades? Has Hearts finally turned from love to hate towards Spades?!"

"Wake up, Spade is training over there in the pool, he can't be here..."

Only the public screen of the game is completely red, and only the game on the top right has an interface with falling roses, and the label in the lower right corner is still green [waiting...].

Because Tang Erda was guarding the game, Hong Tao didn't let anyone in.

She walked in front of Tang Erda, held her hat, and followed Tang Erda's gaze to the scene where the rose was withering.

Hong Tao seemed to not care about the commotion she caused, and asked Tang Erda nonchalantly, "Mr. Hunter, are you sure this is the game? Or are you simply emotionally moved by the scene?"

This is referring to Tang Erda's skill identity name [Withered Rose Hunter].

Tang Erda got goosebumps when he saw Hong Tao. This woman's skills were quite uncomfortable. When Tang Erda's eyes met Hong Tao's ambiguous and eye-catching look, Hong Tao's face caught Tang Erda's sight and then began to change in his pupils.

It was as if some strange reshaping had taken place on Hong Tao's face. The angle of her jaw changed from soft to sharply defined, with a masculine squareness. The color of her eyeballs changed from dark red to light brown. Her hair quickly shrank and became shorter. Her clothes changed from a skirt to a Bureau of Heresy uniform.

Tang Erda quickly looked away.

——Hongtao began to look like Su Yang.

"If this is your sincerity in cooperating with me, then our cooperation can end here." Tang Er said coldly, turning his face away.

Hongtao chuckled, she withdrew her skills and returned to her original appearance: "Mr. Hunter is afraid of people knowing what his lover looks like, but what is there to be shy about? He seems to be a very lovely man."

Tang Er glanced at her and said, "He has nothing to do with you. Stop using your skills to spy on me. We are here to discuss Bai Liu's matter."

Hongtao raised her hat brim to reveal her plump red lips: "That's right, I wanted to know too much and crossed the line. I'm too curious about Mr. Hunter. Sorry."

There is always a vague ambiguity in the words and actions of this woman, Hong Tao, and her face is different every time she appears. But the moment you see her, you can easily recognize from her temperament that this is Hong Tao herself, not some other imaginary person.

But you can also see the shadow of the person closest to you in her heart from her face - this has to do with her skills.

The Red Heart Club will confuse the other party by transforming themselves into the appearance of the other party's closest person based on the other party's imagination, so as to control the other party. The gorgeous hunting-colored shell is as dangerous as the feeling this woman gives people in every timeline.

Tang Erda had discovered the existence of Sheta based on this skill of Hong Tao. In the timeline when Hong Tao was working with the Bureau of Heresy, according to Hong Tao, the moment Bai Liu saw her, she turned into Sheta.

Then, after Bai Liu saw Hong Tao's Sheta face, not long after, he started chasing her like those men who were bewitched by Hong Tao.

Soon, Bai Liu rarely invited Hong Tao to join his team - letting someone join the [Wandering Circus] without purchasing souls. Bai Liu would never make such a decision that seemed to be overwhelmed by emotions. After all, Bai Liu's status at the time was enough to put him in a very dangerous position, and all the members of the circus resisted Bai Liu's decision.

But there is no room for others to refuse what Bai Liu wants to do.

At the suggestion of the Bureau of Dangerous Heresy, Hong Tao accepted Bai Liu's invitation and infiltrated the core organization of the Wandering Circus. Although Bai Liu's control over her was very loose, she was strictly monitored by other members of the circus, which made it increasingly difficult for Hong Tao and Tang Erda to get in touch with them. The occasional news that was delivered with great difficulty also left Tang Erda completely at a loss.

It seems that Bai Liu is completely fascinated by Hong Tao, and has become the mistress he has never had before, who is treated as a special exception. It is as if he has lost his mind for her and has created a rift between him and the other members of the circus.

But the news conveyed by Hong Tao was that every time Bai Liu saw her, it was in the game, in a dark underwater room under the basement of the [Wandering Circus] guild building where there was little light. The brightness of the water waves could only illuminate her face. Then he gave her a very tattered, pieced-together strange picture book. The name of the picture book was "Slender Man Murder Record", and every page in it was torn into pieces. No one knew why Bai Liu, who had everything he needed, would keep it.

Bai Liu hid in the darkness, watching from a distance as another person's face appeared on Hong Tao's face. At this time, Bai Liu would gently ask Hong Tao to lower her head and read. When Hong Tao started reading as he asked, Bai Liu would calmly examine or admire the look he put on her.

Occasionally, Hong Tao would chat with Bai Liu. Bai Liu was not as scary as the rumors said. He was easy-going most of the time, even a little lazy. He seemed to be very tolerant of the expression on her face and allowed her to make small talk and probe most of the time.

"Is this face on my face someone very important to you, Mr. Bai?" Hong Tao asked casually.

"I don't know." Bai Liu half-closed his eyes, folded his hands in front of his abdomen, leaned back in a loose posture, and answered indifferently, "I don't know the person who appeared in your face, or I don't remember."

Hearts: "Then why did you let me join your team? You said that you never want a team member who doesn't have long-term value to you. I don't think I have long-term value to you."

Bai Liu closed his eyes. "Although I don't recognize this face, the moment I saw it, I wanted to possess it completely. You don't really have much long-term value to me, but you let me see this face, which is valuable enough for me to let you enter the [Wandering Circus]."

He slowly opened his black eyes again. At this moment, Hongtao had quietly stood in front of him with a Rubik's Cube, trying to trap Bailiu with the prop.

But Bai Liu continued to speak slowly: "Whatever your purpose is, I don't care. Just protect your skills and face."

"This is the entire value of your survival here with me."

The next second, a black bone whip was swung out from behind Bai Liu, and neatly twisted Hong Tao's hands behind her back. Bai Liu looked at Hong Tao who was pressed to the ground by her. He lowered his eyes, stretched out his thumb and index finger to hold Hong Tao's chin, forcing her to raise her head.

Shetta's fragile, pale, pockmarked face reappeared on her face.

Bai Liudong slowly used his thumb to brush away the long, wet curls that hung on Xie Ta's forehead, and looked directly into the beautiful silver-blue eyes hidden beneath the hair.

The smell of blood and the chilly feeling at the bottom of the water filled the air between them, feeling both familiar and strange. Hong Tao looked up at Shetta's face, and through the gaps in his hair, she stared at the pale and gloomy Bai Liu.

She pretended to be the god drowned in the water, reaching out to touch Bai Liu, and whispered the man's name in a hoarse imitation of a boy's voice:

"Bai Liu... don't you remember me?"

Bai Liu's breathing became lighter. He slowly retracted the sharp whip that was across Hong Tao's fragile neck, turned around and sat on the chair, half-closed his eyes, and looked down lazily at Hong Tao who stood up from the ground slowly and was brushing off the dust. Bai Liu returned to his lazy look with droopy eyelids.

Hongtao and Bailiu were both familiar with what had just happened - this kind of thing might happen seven or eight times every time Bailiu came to see her.

Hong Tao has never given up on attacking Bai Liu. She knows very well that Bai Liu will not kill her because of this face. Bai Liu is so tolerant that he will ignore her dangerous attempts to kill him and even let her stay by his side just to simulate the face of a person that Bai Liu doesn't even know reading a book in front of him.

"Continue reading." Bai Liu instructed calmly, "Also, don't let me hear you calling my name with his face next time."
