Chapter 22: A Strong Woman
"Just like that, I was killed by the plot! That's too much!" Chen Ai typed with a dark face. Once she was angry, she wouldn't communicate with the other party via voice, but rather through typing.
It was clear that she was very angry.
In fact, if she hadn't been killed, as long as she entered the Mirror World, there would have been a possibility of the connection being severed.
Chen Zhi had already searched in his mind; although the Mirror World also belonged to this world, ordinary people, if they were not Awakened, would easily die inside.
The fatality rate was as high as 99%, so this plot-kill was almost unavoidable.
Even he had no good solution, unless Chen Ai could also awaken, which would give her a slightly higher chance of survival.
As for the Awakened, the content Chen Zhi searched out was quite extensive; at the very least, he could name several professions.
It was just that he didn't know how one became an Awakened.
After all, that guy Calamity had never possessed an Awakened from the very beginning, so there was simply no memory regarding this aspect.
It only relied on instinct to devour Magic Potion, eating whatever type it was, and as a result, it ate itself into a pure lunatic.
"Regardless, resurrection still requires twenty-four hours, and I suggest you change your face." Chen Zhi didn't say why, but if a person who had clearly died appeared again the next day, that would certainly cause problems.
Hmm, it seemed he had to consider this issue; whether the characters he created needed a makeover after death was indeed a problem.
Chen Ai scratched her head, "Can't it be advanced? At least give me some time to customize my face, otherwise wouldn't my online time be wasted on face-customization?"
"No, and I will give you a randomly pre-customized one. After all, the face-customization feature hasn't been fully developed yet, and it will be charged separately later." Chen Zhi dangled a carrot in front of Chen Ai, "You should just be like a normal player and not always think about having the GM cheat for you."
"Ahhhhhhhh." Chen Ai rubbed her head, feeling even more irritable. Before long, her friend Yezi also seemed to have logged off.
Could she have died too? Chen Ai hurriedly inquired.
"No, after I finished performing, I heard from others that you had already been killed by Susan. The police and people from the Wealth Church both came, but they didn't catch Susan. Several people saw Susan being rescued by a man." Yezi said so much in one breath, then sighed and said, "I logged out immediately to check on you as soon as I heard the news. It's truly terrifying. What on earth happened?"
"I discovered the profession system of this game! Susan is an Awakened witch. I suggest you log in in a while to see if there is any method of awakening left in Susan's room." According to general plot design, they should be able to awaken through this method.
After the two of them complained about Chen Zhi for a while, Yezi put on her Helmet.
After sobering up, Yezi was surrounded by the crowd. She had just performed a show-stopping performance today, and subsequently witnessed the death of her friend with her own eyes.
Especially since Emily was such a stunning beauty, it was simply a pity that she had died.
What made everyone even sadder was that Susan was actually a witch... This title had not been heard of for a long time. It was said that witches were symbols of evil, servants of the Evil God, and the major Zheng Shen Church were all hunting down people with the status of a witch.
Never would they have thought that Miss Susan, whom they met every day, was actually an evil witch.
How could such a cheerful and kind person be a witch?
"I know you are feeling bad inside, otherwise you wouldn't have fainted, but the matter has already happened." Viktor Edmond persuaded Yezi, "I don't know if Emily has any family. I hope to give her some compensation. Although it's not much, it is my heartfelt wish."
Yezi shook her head. Family? In the game, she was her only family.
"Does she not have parents, or brothers and sisters?" Emond said with some surprise.
That beautiful lady looked like she had a good upbringing at first glance; it was just a pity that she left too suddenly.
Yezi nodded and pointed at herself.
"Then I will give her compensation to you. If possible, I still hope you can continue to perform at the Edmond Theater."
The people around also nodded in agreement; after all, Yezi's dance was too stunning.
She didn't display any theological content; just by relying on technique, she could make everyone tear up at her dance performance.
Not to mention that her dance also had a plot; that kind of yearning and expectation for love, expressed through the way of dancing, was truly stunningly beautiful.
At least Susan was not wrong about one thing: people from Xiahui were all good at singing and dancing.
Even if Yezi couldn't sing, she was good at dancing.
Yezi nodded. She wasn't sad to begin with. Although she was quite shocked to see Emily's corpse at first, once she thought about the fact that this was a game, it was completely impossible for her to be sad.
After all, there were no overly moving scenes in the game plot; it was just that her teammate had kicked the bucket.
Added to the fact that she had complained about quite a few things with Chen Ai offline, Yezi's sadness was completely invisible.
Seeing the strong look in Yezi's eyes after she fainted, Viktor and his Theater staff felt even more guilty. This dancer who had saved the Theater had actually encountered such a sad thing in the Theater.
Seeing Yezi wake up, several people from the Wealth Church walked over and said to Viktor, "Mr. Emond, according to the statements of the Theater staff, they witnessed the process of Susan killing Miss Emily. How much do you know about this employee named Susan?"
Feng Buer frowned, looking at Viktor.
What a trouble to bring upon himself; the manpower of the Golden Church was completely insufficient!
And in a place like the Theater, he had no way to use any means to make this boss cough up more money.
After all, the person who died was from the Theater, and the person who killed was also from the Theater.
"Susan is a Xiahui person, and that's all I know. Her full name is Susan Mushaladi, and she has been at our Theater for five years. She is good at singing and dancing and is a good actress..." Viktor was extremely sad. He had known Susan for five years, watching her grow from a naive little girl into a free-spirited beauty. He really didn't expect that she would actually believe in the Evil God and become a witch.
"We all can't believe that Susan would do such a thing. Miss Emily was so beautiful and moving; she even praised Miss Emily's beauty."
"I know that women can be full of jealousy toward another woman's beauty, but Susan really wasn't that kind of person. We truly cannot imagine it."
Several actors in the Theater had red and swollen eyes. Whether it was Emily's death or Susan's fall, it made people feel depressed.
Clearly today's performance was very successful, and the poster at the entrance was even drawn by Miss Emily herself...
