For a while, Xia Tong had just moved into the club and lived next door to Lin Mingfei. The little Omega would often get into trouble when alone, which worried Lin Mingfei to no end. Initially, this was because of that, but later, Lin Mingfei developed a deep obsession and possessiveness towards Xia Tong, constantly wanting to see what he was doing. So much so that he actually considered using a hidden camera... but then realized in time that the idea was both yandere and perverse, and nipped it in the bud.

Lin Mingfei was inevitably a little irritated, having her thoughts piqued. Then, changing the subject, she shifted the blame and said, "Why are you so busy praising me? I've seen Timer's ability to accurately judge prostitutes. That's what we call a natural talent!"

Shi Ya: "??? Why do I feel like you are scolding me?"

Xia Tong leaned back, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"I've finally discovered that calling the police is the simplest and most brutal solution," Zhou Yanjun said. "Those who commit crimes should be arrested by the police! Don't give them any chance to make a comeback!"

"No wonder Debang likes to call the police so much..." Lin Mingfei whispered.

"What? What's wrong with Debang?" Xia Tong asked curiously with her pointed ears.

"Nothing." Lin Mingfei rolled her eyes and said.

After making a fuss in Xia Tong's ward for a long time, the other four people said goodbye for the time being, leaving Lin Mingfei to take care of Xia Tong.

Xia Tong threw off the quilt and got out of bed. Lin Mingfei asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xia Tong: "I need to pee!"

Lin Mingfei hurriedly stood up and followed him, saying, "I'll go with you."

Xia Tong: "??? No! Isn't the bathroom right here? And peeing is a very private matter!"

Lin Mingfei: "No! I have to watch you go to the toilet!"

The little Omega had accidents again and again because of going to the bathroom. Xia Tong herself didn't think that Lin Mingfei must have a psychological trauma. She always felt that for Xia Tong, the bathroom was an ominous place. As a result, he drove Xia Tong into the bathroom like a lamb, and was forcibly locked outside the door by Xia Tong. He still insisted on standing next to the door, like a door god.

Xia Tong thought for a long time, and when he turned his head, he saw a tall black shadow on the other side of the frosted door, as if staring at him, and he immediately felt unwell.

"Ahhhhh, please move away!" the little Omega said frantically, "I can't pee if you look at me!"

Lin Mingfei: “…”

The tug-of-war in the bathroom lasted for quite a while before Xia Tong finally overcame his psychological barrier. He washed his hands unhappily and came out, only to hear Lin Mingfei softly say, "Actually, I'm a little scared when I think about it."

Xia Tong: "Hmm?"

Lin Mingfei: "If we were unlucky and the gym didn't have cameras, or if Shi Ya didn't recognize the girl at the police station, or if Jia Lulu was a little braver... things probably wouldn't have turned out like this."

Xia Tong thought about it, walked over and took Lin Mingfei's hand. There was an IV needle on the back of his delicate hand.

"It's just a game. No one would have thought someone would go to such lengths just to win..." He consoled her, "But at least this proves I'm a lucky person, not some unlucky bastard! Right?"

Lin Mingfei stared into his clear eyes and smiled: "You are right."

What? You Jin drafted this statement almost at the same level as he wrote his college entrance examination essays. During the drafting process, he even broke his pen several times out of anger.

"Damn it! What a despicable bunch of people they are. They bully us decent people who abide by the law. It makes me angry just thinking about it!" He said gritting his teeth.

"Don't write this in the statement, it will easily attract criticism." Fang Haoyang was supervising nearby and couldn't help but remind him when he heard this.

"You're talking nonsense! Of course I know that. I'm not stupid." He Youjin rolled his eyes and said, "I just don't know how many years this bastard will be sentenced to."

"If you find a good lawyer, a sentence of three years or more should be no problem," said Fang Haoyang.

"Then remember to find me a better lawyer," said He Youjin.

Fang Haoyang laughed: "When did I promise to find a lawyer for you?"

He You Jin squinted at him and said, "If you're not going to find a lawyer for me, why are you mentioning a lawyer?"

Fang Haoyang: "...You are a little unreasonable? Oh."

He Youjin held the pen horizontally against Fang Haoyang's neck and threatened, "Will you help me find a lawyer? If not, I'll bite you to death."

Fang Haoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "...Looking for you, I'm afraid of you."

He Youjin then put down his pen, shook the draft, and handed it to him: "Is this okay?"

Fang Haoyang took the paper, read it from beginning to end, frowned slightly and said, "Everything else is fine, but this one, I think you should not openly cue the Shadow Team to respond, right?"

"Why not?" He Youjin said with a frown, "Isn't this just because their team wanted to win so badly?"

"There's no direct evidence that the Shadow Team players knew about this," Fang Haoyang said. "I've inquired, and Ping Shuai wasn't signed long ago. It's possible this was his own private plan. If you wrongly accuse someone, not only will it strain relationships within the circle, it could also affect your status as the victim, potentially leading to accusations."

He Youjin pondered for a moment and felt that what Fang said made some sense.

"Okay." He took a pen and crossed out several paragraphs in the middle of the manuscript: "This is enough."

However, before He Youjin could post the statement online, an anonymous Weibo account had already started talking on Weibo.

@Can Lose But Don't Lose Bottom Line: [This is a police insider, Hou Ma. We've been abiding by confidentiality until now. Now that the investigation results are public, I can't stand it any longer. @Shadow Official, how bad are you? Or are you just so obsessed with winning? You've lost even the most basic moral principles, haven't you? BLink is the only Omega in the entire holographic esports world, and you've gone to such lengths to target him. It's one thing to do in the gym Polaris uses, but you've even set a trap at the actual venue. This is simply outrageous. Have you ever considered that if your attack succeeds, it won't just be a matter of whether he can continue to compete, but you'll ruin the rest of his life. This isn't just in the gaming world; Omegas are a vulnerable group in society. Ah, don't you feel guilty about doing this to him? I'm guessing the person who came up with this idea has lost all conscience, but if your players still have any dignity, come forward and apologize now! Otherwise, the holographic esports world will be a mess, and the Shadow Team will be blackened for life! 】

This anonymous Weibo post was forwarded thousands of times, and the comment section was in turmoil.

[Holy crap? Holy crap! Is this true?! So much information!]

[I feel like this matches the previous police report...]

So the illegal infringement really refers to mandatory marking? This is fucking crazy!

"It's just a game! How could it be this bad? Aren't Omegas human? Don't they have basic human rights?"

[I suddenly feel like the professional world is a very deep place... Blink has truly entered a dangerous place alone, surrounded by wolves!]

[That video before that...it really makes me think about it. It's so scary. How miserable and scared BLink must have been at that time!]

[I can’t take it anymore, just thinking about it gives me chills!! QAQ]

Where are the other four of Polaris? Why did you let this happen?! Isn't Blink your team's treasure?! Can't you even protect him?!

"Oh my god, have you forgotten about Qielulu? That staff member!"

[You haven't forgotten, he was the one who caused this, right?!]

Ahhhhhhh I'm so pissed off! The gym, the venue, and the post-event trolling! @影影官方, you guys are fucking going to such great lengths and effort! You're so vicious! !

BLink was trolled to bits afterward, even though they were clearly the victim! The trolls are truly rampant!

[What kind of black fan? Rampant, the Shadow Team is really rampant, right? Criminals? What kind of profession are they?!]

If you put this much thought into training, how can you still worry about not winning the championship?! Fuck!

I can't help it, I'm already crying. I feel so bad for BLink and Polaris. They've suffered and lost the competition. What's going on now?

......

Half a day later, the Polaris official club, which had been tagged countless times, finally updated a long statement as if it had come back to life.

This statement was a departure from their previous "emotionless" writing style, and described the cause and effect of the incident in a poignant and heartbreaking manner.

From Zhou Yanjun being almost set up by a peripatetic girl who came out of nowhere, to Xia Tong catching a cold in the gym because someone turned on the air conditioning and stopped the hot water for showering, to Xia Tong being left alone in the bathroom due to repeated obstructions by the field control on the day of the competition, and facing violence and malicious assault, many details were added in between, including Xia Tong forcibly taking fever-reducing drugs to go on stage because she didn't want to miss the competition, the team members racking their brains and running around to collect evidence, the measures taken by the police after the call and the subsequent solutions, etc. Finally, the article directly mentioned Ping Shuai's name, and at the same time, Ping Shuai's "past and present life" was revealed to the general public.

This statement is more than 3,000 words long. The person who wrote it probably knows that "only the crying child gets the milk", so everything that can and cannot be said is explained transparently in the statement, without any concealment, which completely subverted the three views of netizens.

Netizens were shocked and excited.

[Don't stop me! I'm going to kill that bastard Ping Shuai right now!]

[I've never heard of or seen anything like this before. It's just a game! And yet they can actually do this!]

He was out for revenge!! It's definitely a definite revenge!! He was just jealous of Blink's skill!! Thank goodness he's not in Polaris anymore!

Is Shadow Team a piece of shit? Signing someone like that? Sabertooth Tigers are already open-minded and don't want them anymore, and they're still picking him up?

[The venom in his heart is truly astonishing! Shouldn't this kind of person be put in jail for life if not put to death?]

Is this something a human would do?! This is no different from a terrorist attack!

I really didn't expect that just playing a game could lead to such a huge conspiracy! They have absolutely no moral bottom line!

[This honey trap is so disgusting! If it had been successful, that fat guy Fire would have been scolded so much that he would have quit the circle! ]

Polaris is miserable, sob, sob, sob. Blink is miserable, sob, sob, sob!!

Blink is the one who's truly pitiful. He was tricked and still had to take fever-reducing medicine to go on stage. My heart breaks.

What if BLink really gets hurt by Pinggou? I'm scared just thinking about it now! Sooooooooooo!

He's still being trolled, insulted, and slandered. As an Omega, is he really sorry? Can those trolls please come out and apologize now?!

I'm so pissed off! I'm so pissed off! I'm so pissed off! I'm about to vomit blood when I think about the things they're saying about Blink!

[Compared to this, Polaris is truly fair and rigorous. Even with all this, their statement didn't even mention Shadow.]

Zero's team has always been like this. They're a breath of fresh air in the professional world, never causing trouble or stirring up trouble. Yet, even so, others still want to harm them. Ugh!

I don't know what to do. I can't stop crying. Please come back and play the game!

@Polaris Official Club, it's over. When can you come back to make up for the game? I'll always be rooting for you!

Forget about the competitions. Can't you just let Blink recover? @Polaris Official Club, take Blink to a psychiatrist. Take good care of him. It's so hard for him in this industry.

[It’s really not easy to have milk pupils, sob sob sob! ]

@Shadow Official, come out and get beaten! You beasts! Get out of here!

@Wangling Game Official, can you please get the Shadow Team out?! It's so disgusting! I don't want to see them!!

"That's right! A bunch of criminals? And they're playing professionally?! They should learn how to be human beings first!"

......

There was a heated argument online, and at the same time the Shadow team was also in a state of anxiety.

Except for MMdou, all the contestants looked confused.

"What the hell? When their own team has problems, why are they blaming us?"

"What do you mean by shadow? Team Squad might be the biggest winner? We're also suffering a huge loss if we can't compete for no apparent reason!"

"Manager Du, what exactly is going on? Why was Ping Shuai arrested?"

Du Yong sat aside, holding his briefcase and sighing.

"Coach Ping's momentary lapse of judgment led to a massive mistake... Sigh, to be frank, the fault is mine," he said sadly. "I signed him because I saw he'd started for Polaris and been a backup for Sabretooth, so I thought he must be experienced. Who knew there was such a deep grudge between him and Polaris... But that was Coach Ping's own doing. What does it have to do with us, Shadow?? We were all clueless! Sigh... Polaris's move was ruthless!"

He said this very cleverly and instantly diverted the main conflict. Except for MMdou, the rest of the Shadow Team became indignant and began to whisper to each other and criticize Polaris.

These players all have their own personal Weibo accounts, and sometimes they post topics about their moods on Weibo, attracting comments from fans. That night, someone from the Shadow Team posted the following status on Weibo.

[In my previous life? I was a broken-winged angel. In this life? I was only chosen to play against an Omega. We deserve to be criticized.]

This statement is both sarcastic and ironic, but the meaning is clear.

The fans of Shadow Team online have been frustrated for a long time, and when they saw their leader complaining, they immediately said they couldn't stand it anymore.

[Greetings, brother! ! Their own team members created a bug and then blamed it on us. Bro, that's so pitiful!]

[That statement smelled so strongly of tea that I almost vomited.]

[Omegas shouldn't be in the professional world in the first place? Ah, now it's like he's some kind of positive character.]

I think the police report was probably fake, created to confuse the public.

[Husband, don't be angry! Ignore them! !]

......

The fans of the Shadow Team also felt sorry for their own players, so they turned around and started a fight with the fans of the Polaris Team. The two sides fought fiercely on Weibo and forums, and the accusations against Xia Tong reached a new level.

This situation was a real headache for the organizers. Polaris' original statement on Weibo didn't seem to indicate a strong opposition to Shadow, suggesting it was a reasonable response. They had been planning to reschedule the match between the two teams, but who could have predicted that Shadow would become increasingly hostile? The hostility between the two sides seemed to intensify...

Just when everyone thought that the relationship between Polaris and Shadow Team would become irreconcilable, something happened within Shadow Team.

MMdou wants to quit the team.

He posted a concise message on Weibo: "If this is the way to go, I'm sorry I can't keep you company."

As everyone knows, MM Dou is the ace wizard of the Shadow Team and also the most brilliant top wizard player in the league. If he quits the Shadow Team, the Shadow Team will undoubtedly collapse, and the other teams will probably be overjoyed.

In such a sensitive period, MM's attitude is shocking.

At this time, everyone in the Shadow Team was shocked and stood in a circle watching MM Dou packing her suitcase skillfully.

"Brother Meng, what are you doing?"

"Brother Meng, please be reasonable! Let's talk it over nicely! What are we going to do if you leave now?!"

MM Dou pulled the handle of the suitcase outward, turned around and was about to go out, and bumped into Du Yong with a grim expression.

"Get away from here." MM Dou looked at him coldly with her eyes downcast.

"You want to quit the team now?" Du Yong's teeth were grinding and he said viciously, "Do you know how much money you have to pay?"

"Are you afraid of losing that little money? Just think of it as buying some peace of mind." MM Dou scoffed. "I'm not sure how many teams will be vying to sign me once I leave here. I'm going to pick someone with some dignity, understand?"

Du Yong was startled by his shouting and smiled in an extremely ugly way: "The Shadow Team has a bright future, and you're here? How can you be shameless? Explain yourself clearly——"

"How else do you want to know?" MM Dou sneered, "You know best what you've done. A team that's full of hatred and afraid of losing, whoever wants to treat them can do whatever they want!"

After he said this, he took a step forward, but was stopped by a group of people. He was the oldest, strongest, and most prestigious in the team, and the young players were shocked by his behavior.

"Brother Meng, please stop doing this! If you have something to say, please talk it over nicely!"

"Brother Meng, we've played so many games together, and you just leave like that? Are you willing to do that?!"

"We have no grudges!! We are not afraid of losing! We really are just--"

MM Dou calmed down, his fury cooled down a little, and he raised his finger and pointed at Du Yong's nose.

"It's okay if I don't leave, but you go." He said word by word, "In short, only one of you and I can stay in the Shadow Team."

Xia Tong has been living the life of an old man in the ward recently, eating and sleeping, and Lin Mingfei has been taking care of her meticulously.

It was not until He Youjin issued the statement that the number of people scolding him online decreased significantly, and Lin Mingfei returned the phone to him.

As soon as Xia Tong logged into Weibo, he saw the popular news of "MM Dou quitting the team" and was shocked. Although he didn't quite understand the current situation in the outside world, he instinctively felt that MM Dou's withdrawal from the team was related to his own affairs.

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly and guiltily glanced up at Lin Mingfei.

Lin Mingfei was concentrating on peeling an apple for him and didn't notice anything unusual about him.

So Xia Tong felt relieved, lowered her head and quickly opened WeChat and sent a message to MM Dou.

Polaris_Blink: Why did you quit the team?

Polaris_Blink: Don't quit the team!

【Shadow_MMdou: Are you okay? 】

Polaris_Blink: I'm fine.

【Shadow_MMdou: I’m sorry.】

Polaris_Blink: What are you saying sorry for? It's not your fault, it's Ping Shuai's fault. Ping Shuai should be the one to quit the team!

[Shadow_MMdou: I know, it's not just him. I won't allow such trouble to stir up trouble in the team.]

[Shadow_MM: Thank you for your concern. You should also take good care of yourself. I've been feeling really bad for you lately. I'll come visit you when I have time.]

Xia Tong was stunned for two seconds, not knowing how to respond for a moment. Just as he was in a daze, someone gently bit the tip of his ear.

"Who are you messaging? Secretly, huh?" Lin Mingfei's breath fell on his ears, hot and itchy.

"Ah... No, no one." Xia Tong shrank back and defended herself in a low voice.

"No? Let me see your phone." Lin Mingfei said softly.

Xia Tong felt inexplicably guilty and could only obediently hand the phone to Lin Mingfei.

Lin Mingfei flipped through the chat history between him and MMdou and squinted.

"That's all I have to say. I don't know how to respond from now on." Xia Tong confessed and sat there pointing at her fingers.

"It's okay." Lin Mingfei said calmly, "I'll help you get back."

Polaris_Blink: You absolutely mustn't quit the team! I haven't even beaten you in the arena yet!

【Shadow_MMdou: ...hit me?】

Polaris_Blink: Yeah, yeah, I'll come and fight you when I'm better. I'll definitely blow your head off [smile].
