Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1471 - 1399: The Protagonist Is Dead! Rose Prison in Turmoil!
After Huang Yi logged off, he stretched lazily, got out of bed, and came to the window to look outside for a while.
The sun had already set, the world was shrouded in darkness, and beyond the horizon lay an endless ocean, hiding the outside world from view.
He wondered how much longer he would have to endure in this oppressive prison?
Turning around, he noticed that his cellmate had left him a dinner, quietly placed on the ground.
He used the restroom, washed his hands thoroughly, then picked up the tray and sat down at the table.
The food was cold, the oil on the dishes had solidified, but there was no other choice but to eat what was provided.
Just like countless times before, he picked up the chopsticks, grabbed a bite of food, put it in his mouth, and started chewing.
The taste of the cold dishes was not pleasant, so he took a few more bites of rice, eating greedily.
In the dreary, silent cell, the only sound was that of his chewing and swallowing, as if it was just another ordinary meal.
Suddenly, he felt his head grow heavy, his body weak, and his consciousness quickly began to blur.
"Poisoned!" At that moment, he threw down the chopsticks and, as quickly as he could, stuck his fingers down his throat to induce vomiting!
His consciousness was fading so fast that this reflex was almost the last action he could take.
His throat convulsed, but there wasn’t enough time to expel anything.
The next moment, his arm went limp, his body slid off the chair, and he collapsed onto the ground.
In the final moment of fading consciousness, he seemed to see the forest he had just visited, and the frail little girl standing there alone, foolishly waiting for him to log back on.
Soon after, he completely lost consciousness, motionless.
Heart stopped. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Breath vanished.
Blood congealed.
Metabolism ceased.
Body temperature began to drop.
All signs of life vanished from Huang Yi.
He was dead.
In the gloomy cell, his frail body lay curled up on the ground, like an eternal painting.
And all around him, in the densely packed cells, thousands of criminals wore their helmets, lost in the virtual world.
No one knew that Huang Yi had died in his own cell.
...
In the virtual world, Xiao Chunzi had finished eating and logged back on.
With a flick of her hand, she produced a small stool from her storage ring, sat on it obediently, propped her chin on her hands, and focused on waiting for Huang Yi to log in.
"Brother, have you finished eating? Come online quickly!"
"Xiao Chunzi is being so good, I’m not going anywhere, just sitting on the little stool focusing on waiting for Brother to log in!"
"Brother, don’t find me annoying! I know that you’re busy with important things every day, I just hope that you can spend one day a month with me, and I’ll be very content!"
As Xiao Chunzi waited, she spoke softly, her little face full of anticipation.
The sunset began to descend, streams of golden sunset light slanted through the forest, bathing Xiao Chunzi in gold, casting a long shadow on the ground.
A breeze blew by, messing up Xiao Chunzi’s hair, and she reached out her small hand to tidy it up.
"When Brother used to do my hair, he always loved to tie it in pigtails; does he think I look cutest in pigtails?" Xiao Chunzi thought to herself, quickly pulling out a hairband and tying her hair into cute pigtails.
Finally, as the sun’s last rays disappeared, night fell, and Xiao Chunzi’s figure on the little stool looked even lonelier and more desolate.
"Brother, I’m not going anywhere! I’ll wait here for you to log in forever!" Xiao Chunzi seemed to be talking to Huang Yi, but also to herself.
A nightingale began to sing, its melodious voice echoing in the empty forest. Xiao Chunzi felt a bit scared and turned her head to look around, where there was only endless darkness.
The night wind turned chilly. Xiao Chunzi changed her posture, hugging her small shoulders, continuing to sit on the stool and wait.
As the night grew deeper, the forest remained empty. There was nothing where Huang Yi had logged off, as if he would never log back on.
"Brother, why aren’t you logging on yet?!" Xiao Chunzi pouted her small mouth, staring at the spot where Huang Yi logged off with great grievance.
She pursed her little lips, holding back a surge of anger in her heart!
"Brother, how dare you deceive me; you’re dead meat! Hmph!" Finally unable to bear it, Xiao Chunzi opened her friends list and sent a message to the Battlefield Group leader of the Hero Guild, [Sunset], asking him to help log off once and urge Huang Yi to log back in quickly.
Sunset received Xiao Chunzi’s message and didn’t dare delay, logging off hastily.
It was already late at night, and he left his cell quickly, hurrying to Huang Yi’s cell, knocking on the iron barred door, and shouted, "Brother Yi! Xiao Chunzi is urging you to log in!"
However, the cell remained silent, with no response at all.
"Brother Yi?" Sunset raised his voice by an octave and shouted again.
But the cell was still dead silent, no sound whatsoever.
Sunset couldn’t help craning his neck, peering through the bars to carefully observe the scene inside.
The cell was pitch black, with no lights on, only a faint light seeping in from outside the window.
Suddenly, Sunset saw a foot, lying quietly on the ground, but the rest of the body was obscured, invisible from the door.
"Brother Yi?!!" Sunset’s heart sank, he shouted aloud, shaking the iron barred door with all his strength.
