Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1473 - 1399: The Protagonist Is Dead! Rose Prison in Turmoil! (3)
"Xiao Yu, log off immediately and urgently report this news upwards. We must do everything we can to perform the resurrection surgery for Brother Yi!" Heavenly Dao said decisively.
Qin Shiyu’s tears fell instantly, but there was no time to cry. She logged off quickly, disappearing into the air.
Heavenly Dao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil within, and stared at Knight, saying calmly: "Brother Yi couldn’t have died without reason. Someone must have assassinated him. From your description, it seems he died from poisoning. Next, you need to log off immediately and do four things: First, assign reliable people to protect Brother Yi’s body continuously, ensuring that there are no mistakes. Second, issue a death order to everyone, blocking this news entirely. It must not leak to the outside world. Third, gather all Rose Prison members and check them one by one, especially the newcomers who have entered the prison recently, and find out who the murderer is. But first, don’t take action against him. Find out what poison he used. Fourth, Brother Yi might not be the only target. In the future, everyone in Rose Prison needs to strengthen their defenses and not allow the enemy to succeed again!"
"I’ll get right on it!" Knight quickly nodded and logged off immediately.
Heavenly Dao then quickly sent a message to Dao Feng—
"Huang Yi has been assassinated. I implore you to immediately ask your father to use his political power to intervene in Rose Prison, protect his body, and place it in Cold Storage, awaiting resurrection surgery! Thank you very much!"
Dao Feng’s father is the representative of China at Rose Prison, possessing significant power. If he’s willing to step in, Huang Yi’s body can be secured.
Upon receiving this message, Dao Feng was shocked to his core, and promptly logged off to find his father.
At this time, it was midnight in the China region, and the influential political figures were asleep.
Suddenly, the urgent ringing of phones woke them up. After answering the calls, their faces changed dramatically, and they hurriedly hung up, got dressed, and rushed out...
This was destined to be a restless night, with influential people rushing to handle the matter urgently.
Huang Yi’s death set off waves, but this news was only known to a select few high-ranking individuals and had not yet spread. The outside world remained as calm as usual.
The common people were unaware that a dramatic change was about to unfold!
The Virtual World was already the era of Huang Yi. He was the protagonist of this era, the King of the World, the number one among ten billion players, deeply influencing the real world!
But now, this protagonist is dead!

No charge for the words below:
The recent Chapters are very important, so I wrote them slowly. Whenever the plot reaches a critical point, I write with extra caution, thinking it over and revising repeatedly, because once it’s finalized, it will affect the rest of the book.
Actually, reaching this point in the plot, I could choose a smoother path that aligns more with web novel conventions—where the protagonist discovers the assassination trap in time, like noticing a dead cockroach beside the food, thereby deducing that the food is poisoned. But writing it that way makes the protagonist too lucky, the plot lacks significant ups and downs, and it doesn’t become exciting.
My writing principle is to avoid conventional clichés whenever possible. When everyone chooses to write like that, I try to see if I can write differently. The process might differ, but the result is the same. Of course, small plot points and minor twists don’t need this much fuss, but when it comes to major plot directions, I hope to write differently from others, like the way the protagonist handles the martial arts tournament or the outcome of the national war. This is written according to that principle. In the web novel industry, there’s a rule that the protagonist mustn’t die; they always narrowly escape, but I want to try writing about the protagonist’s death.
Writing it this way obviously carries huge risks, and it often ends up being thankless. The author becomes exhausted, painstakingly devising the plot and thinking through various foreshadowing and twists. Meanwhile, readers are very fragile; if the protagonist faces any minor setback, they immediately start criticizing, with no patience to wait for a twist or reveal. Many times, I’ve had to compromise, letting the protagonist sail through smoothly and making him invincible repeatedly. If this book were not published, but just written for myself, I definitely wouldn’t write it like this; the protagonist wouldn’t be as strong as they are now; he would be one of many strong characters, rather than the world’s number one.
This time, I hesitated for a long time before deciding to write him dead, because writing it this way allows for more freedom in the subsequent plot, making it more tension-filled and exciting. Additionally, logically, the protagonist really should die, as he’s not a god and can’t always evade the World Federation’s assassinations, so I took the risk to write it this way. Of course, I dare not truly challenge the iron rule of the web novel world, so I used a relatively timid method, rushing to bring in examples like Kid and Thunder God immediately after the protagonist died to comfort everyone. Grasping this balance is truly difficult.
This book is already in its final stages, and this is considered the penultimate major plot twist. There is one more final plot twist coming, which will overturn the four million characters before, revealing the truth of this book. Many have speculated on the upcoming plot, but so far, no one has guessed the biggest conspiracy in this book. I can assure you it’s a great concept, though I’m afraid my writing skills might not do it justice.
