034. The King's Path

"Li Zi died? I really didn't know."

Jiaozi Niu didn't feel much about the death of an old friend,

"Anyway, his consciousness had long been backed up . He might have already uploaded it. Just waiting for the electronic immigration zone of 'Starry Abyss' to be completed so he could live there."

"No, it's not that."

Xia Yubing glanced at Jiaozi Niu,

"Li Zi committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Jiaozi Niu's pupils contracted in shock, "How could this be? In this day and age, someone would still commit suicide?"

Compared to simply dying, suicide was indeed rarer.

"He probably faced some unbearable pain. I saw his obituary on the news."

Xia Yubing took out her terminal, searched for the news article from that day, and showed it to Jiaozi Niu,

"Look—the police report: 'The deceased's home was clean and tidy, items were orderly, and no suicide note was left. The body died from an overdose of sleeping pills. It's as if he had never been in this world at all.'"
