Josh frowned slightly. What she sensed was likely the cyberbullying Lilith endured before her death.
I can’t believe it was really because of cyberbullying.
She had guessed it before, but wasn’t entirely sure. However, after sensing the emotions from the corpse, it was almost certain.
She looked at her two teammates: "Lilith was probably driven to her death by cyberbullying, likely because she won a competition in the virtual world, ca in first, and got the chance to dine with God R. After the al, she stayed overnight at Phoebe Manor, which led to the bullying."
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the main quest "Uncover the Truth Behind Lilith’s Death," advancing the main storyline progress by 10%, with the current progress at 20%.]
The three exchanged a glance, recognizing the quest completion notification as validation of Josh’s deduction.
Yuze raised an eyebrow: "She didn’t even stay at their house, and that’s enough for cyberbullying?"
Rob’s eyes flashed with disgust: "Isn’t that just how these online trolls are? They’re so idle they want to criticize everything."
Josh’s eyes brightened: "Let’s search for Banban and Er Miao’s corpses, since we’re already here."
Yuze and Rob nodded.
The three set off and soon found Banban and Er Miao’s bodies in the morgue.
From the corpses, it was evident that Banban had slit her wrists and committed suicide, but there were also wounds on her fingertips, as if they had been worn down.
This matched the scratch marks found on her door when Josh and Rob had visited her ho earlier.
As for Er Miao, the situation was a bit more complex.
The clues Turbo and the others leaked last night were correct; Er Miao was indeed stabbed to death.
There was a very deep wound on her chest.
It was inflicted with a fruit knife.
Josh activated her Super Sensing ability.
But she found the information she obtained was not as detailed as before.
She could only feel Banban’s struggle before death, and Er Miao’s resentnt before she died.
Logically, Banban should also have been bullied to death, so she should have emotions related to the bullying.
She recalled that when she and Rob visited Banban’s ho, they saw ssages in her mother’s livestream chat, which said that Banban was bullied because she revealed her tattoo.
Josh relayed the emotions she sensed to the two.
Yuze pondered for a mont and said: "There’s only one possibility, then. They didn’t die in despair from cyberbullying like Lilith did."
Josh nodded, then said: "I wonder if we can take the bodies with us..."
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor of the manor villa.
An immaculate man sat loftily by the window, elegantly crossing his legs, his gaze lowered to observe the situation below at the morgue.
The grey-crystal eyes reflected the fuzzy images of three figures.
The man chuckled lazily, resting his chin on his hand as he leaned back in his chair: "Such greedy little ones, wanting to take my toys away too."
The butler respectfully carried a silver tray, which held a white porcelain cup filled with rich black tea.
"Does God need to stop them?"
God R glanced at him lazily: "Why stop them?"
The butler hesitated, looking at the situation below: "The young lady effortlessly broke through the program you set, found the corpses. If not stopped, she might actually take the bodies away."
God R curled his lips, the pink gemstone on his brow shimring brightly, unable to diminish his captivating appearance: "So what? I already have new toys now..."
The butler understood his aning and respectfully stepped aside.
God R glanced at the situation below, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.
Increasingly anticipating obtaining his new toys.

Josh considered for a mont, frowned, and said: "Let’s not, these bodies can still be preserved here. If we take them out, they might imdiately rot. Let’s take Lilith out first and deal with the other two later."
Yuze nodded: "Okay."
Rob: "Then the question is, who will carry the body?"
Josh and Yuze simultaneously turned to look at him.
Rob flared up: "Why ?!"
*
Lilith’s ho.
Josh knocked on the door, and Aunt Wang quickly opened it, a look of surprise on her face when she saw her: "Is it you, Xiao Cai? What brings you here?"
Josh stepped aside to reveal the person behind her: "Auntie, I’ve brought Lilith’s body back."
Rob, struggling under the weight of Lilith’s body, appeared at the door of her ho.
The mont the body left the morgue, it started to stink.
Rob was almost overwheld by the stench.
Yuze had already kept his distance.
He clenched his teeth and carried the body into the house, inwardly cursing his two cunning teammates.
Leaving all the dirty and tiring work to him, a little girl!
If this continues, his legs are going to beco thick!
Annoying!!
Aunt Wang, seeing Lilith’s body, her eyes filled with tears in an instant: "My Lilith, my darling! You’re finally ho!"
She directed Rob to lay Lilith on the bed in her room and approached, entranced.
Josh: "Auntie, I’ve confird through investigation that Lilith did indeed commit suicide."
"Impossible! She wouldn’t kill herself out of nowhere!"
Aunt Wang’s expression turned agitated: "Didn’t you say you also felt she wouldn’t commit suicide? Didn’t you believe in ?"
[Warning, NPC affection is rapidly decreasing, please take redial actions promptly.]
It was Josh’s first ti encountering such a situation, and she hurriedly explained: "Auntie, it’s like this, there were reasons that drove her to suicide, reasons you might not be aware of."
Aunt Wang’s eyes widened with anger: "What reasons?"
Josh: "Previously, she participated in an online competition and took first place. The reward for first place was dining with a man, and because she spent the night at that man’s ho, people online bashed her, which led her to suicide."
Aunt Wang heard this, a bit dubious: "Do you have any proof?"
Josh looked at Yuze, who nodded and carried in a pre-prepared ga console.
They logged into Lilith’s account.
The ga account has a recording feature, docunting every action a person takes within the ga. This is to regulate player behavior in the virtual world and to effectively gather evidence in case of incidents.
Although the cyberbullying site they checked previously was disrupted before they could see clearly when Lulu bombed the ga console, the virtual world is vast and cyberbullying can happen in any area.
Josh then found so compelling evidence of cyberbullying and showed it to Aunt Wang.
Staring at the offensive online remarks, Aunt Wang was left shocked: "They were scolding my Lilith?"
Josh nodded.
Aunt Wang was astounded by the malicious comnts: "How did Lilith get associated with so many vicious people?"
Josh explained: "They might not all know Lilith; they were rely jealous of her chance to dine with that man, leading them to attack her with words."
"Not know her?" Aunt Wang found it a bit hard to comprehend: "Are you saying all these strangers berated my Lilith just because she dined with a man?"
Josh nodded.
Aunt Wang, after a mont’s daze, asked again: "Does that man have so many relatives? My Lilith is so adorable; what’s wrong with having a al with that man? Why do they have to berate my Lilith?"
