Chapter 100 - 98
(Actually, it’s Chapter 98, the Chapter title is wrong)
Irfan’s voice can no longer be heard at all.
The well-known real-world idol ICEY, or Jin Huixing, silently put down the paper cup pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window, her gaze complex. It’s hard to say whether it’s a feeling of sorrow for the like-minded or relief that the one who died wasn’t herself.
To be fair, Jin Huixing’s life has been fairly smooth. Her parents worked in government agencies in Seoul and she received elite education from a young age. Even when she debuted as an idol for personal interest, she didn’t have to endure the harsh exploitation by the company or serve as a walking bar tab like some trainees from the civilian class.
After unexpectedly becoming a player, she caught the attention of the Global Supernatural Alliance. She learned about the real world from them and eventually agreed to sign a contract to become an employee.
The Global Supernatural Alliance provided her with resources including scientific training and equipment, while she continued to maintain her idol status, releasing albums, appearing on shows, and touring.
And through a nameless device brought out from the killing field, she converted the "affection" and "adoration" of thousands of fans into tangible droplets, which she submitted to the guild. As for the purpose of those droplets, she was not clear.
’After all, Irfan was a Lv8 player from Prometheus Company, and now he’s died so unclearly, not even leaving an intact corpse. If I died, and my body was teleported back to the real world, probably only my parents would truly be heartbroken...’
Jin Huixing lowered her eyelids, considering the MO of the Global Supernatural Alliance, they would probably cover up her death, find someone to undergo plastic surgery to look like her and continue to exist as ICEY.
