Lin Mingfei acted as if she didn't see Ping Shuai was pinned under the door panel. She stepped on it and crushed it hard. Ping Shuai's internal organs seemed to be vomited out, and he screamed miserably.
“I’m dying ahhhhh it hurts it hurts I’m dying!!”
Lin Mingfei's eyes were extremely cold. At this moment, he had lost all his rationality. He threw all the professional players' code of conduct, such as "no fighting" and "no creating disputes and conflicts" out of his mind. He just wanted to tear this dirty guy on the ground into pieces.
But then, he heard a weak and painful gasp, and the little Omega fell to the cold, hard tile floor. He looked unwell all over, and called out his name in an inaudible voice.
"Zero..."
Lin Mingfei's chest suddenly contracted to the extreme, causing her throat to feel so painful and sweet.
"Xia Tong!" He threw Ping Shuai aside, rushed to Xia Tong, and picked up the little Omega from the ground.
Xia Tong's eyes were unfocused. He seemed to be using his last bit of strength to keep his eyes open and awake. Then, he pursed his colorless lips and murmured, "I'm sorry... I may not be able to play... in the match..."
Lin Mingfei: "Xia Tong!"
At the moment Xia Tong fainted, Ping Shuai struggled to his feet as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and crawled out of the bathroom from under the door like a lizard.
Lin Mingfei didn't know what was going on with Xia Tong in her arms, so she couldn't take care of him for the time being. She could only take out her cell phone and call He Youjin.
"Something happened. We can't play today." His voice was deep and hoarse, and he tried his best to suppress the rage and worry in his heart. He spoke as concisely and clearly as possible, "Ping Shuai blocked Xia Tong in the bathroom, and now she's escaped. I suspect he has a backup plan. Contact the control team immediately and have them check the surveillance to block her. I'll take Xia Tong to the hospital."
On that day, last year's runner-up Shadow Team and the veteran team Polaris, which had won three consecutive championships, were supposed to have a wonderful matchup that attracted worldwide attention. Countless fans bought tickets for the Royal Tomb Championship that day, and countless more viewers were watching the live broadcast and commentary online. But without any warning, the schedule was cancelled.
This incident instantly caused an uproar on the Internet.
Because the schedule for each day is very tight, and the audiences of different games represent different fan groups, the schedule cannot be changed, and only single-day ticket refunds and re-tickets can be made. The online audience was disappointed and cursed fiercely, forcing the official to give a reasonable response.
The organizers were scolded so much that their heads flew off. The forum crashed several times because it could not bear the data traffic. Finally, they had no choice but to send people to negotiate with He Youjin. The meaning was very clear: they could not let the organizers take the blame for the unilateral absence of the players.
He Youjin was also in a dilemma, but the organizer was also innocent. He had no choice but to discuss with the organizer and temporarily tell the public that it was because the player was unwell. The specific reason would not be elaborated. A statement would be issued after the matter was investigated thoroughly.
Polaris had always had a good record before, and the organizers were quite fond of them, so they agreed without any hesitation. They then drafted a relatively mild statement and logged out.
This statement was revised repeatedly by the organizer's public relations department, and every word and sentence was polished with great care. It was vague enough to make it impossible to guess, but also had a bit of a pitiful temperament, so that fans would feel sympathy and understanding and say less criticism.
However, before this statement could have the desired effect, another disturbance arose on the forum.
An anonymous account released a video on the forum.
The video has low resolution and seems to have been processed in some way. The lighting is dim and blurry, and coupled with the strange rustling sound, it creates an ambiguous and romantic atmosphere. The protagonist in the picture seems to be Xia Tong, a famous pretty girl from the Polaris team.
In the video, Xia Tong's face was flushed, his eyes were half-open, and his gaze was indescribably blurred. He was lying on the ground, curled up, with his hands half-raised, as if pushing and pulling, and biting his lips from time to time, which was very different from his previous innocent and cute image.
The video is also accompanied by a strange narration. The voice has been processed and is particularly unfamiliar, but the pronunciation is very clear.
"What are you flirting with?! You want it so badly! You even threw away the suppression bracelet..."
"...This is backstage at the King's Tomb Tournament, in the male Alpha's bathroom, and this Omega professional player is in heat... Tsk tsk tsk tsk, he's even skipping the competition to court her right here. Look at his unsatisfied expression—"
The video's hasty ending leaves people with endless room for imagination.
What netizens lack the most is the ability to imagine. This unclear video, combined with the unclear attitude of the official, immediately gave the answer to the so-called "player is unwell".
What kind of health problem? It was simply because an Omega in heat messed up in the bathroom, which ultimately prevented him from participating in the competition, thus implicated everyone including the Shadow Team and the organizers.
The cancellation of the event, the loss of various economic expenses, and the loss of the audience's emotions and time are huge and incalculable.
The fans were furious, Wang Ling’s fans were furious, and they all attacked the Polaris team and Xia Tong, the Omega, with verbal attacks and condemnations.
I told you not to let Omegas play professionally! Look! Look! This is the result?!
[I'm seriously going to throw up! Is this guy really a pro? He's so hot he could be in a movie!]
[Polaris Club is a real gang-banging powerhouse, right? Four Alphas and one Omega.]
[Is everyone okay with me saying Polaris is a cancer in the holographic esports world?]
[Zero had other motives when he recruited Omega into the team in the first place, right? After all, he looks like someone with a strong sexual desire.]
【And Timer, isn't he known to everyone as a jerk? 】
What do you think of Fire and Island? Everyone knows their dirty laundry; it's just a tacit understanding.
What kind of scheming little bitch is that BLink? Does he think he's good-looking like that?
Didn't he always maintain a pure persona? I see a lot of people still believe that. Those who do must be brainless.
[This is so disgusting! I used to be a Blink fan! I'm throwing up!]
[Omega, get out of the holographic esports world! Omega professional players are strictly prohibited! Let’s bring peace to the professional world! ]
[Omega, get out of the holographic esports world! Omega professional players are strictly prohibited! Let’s bring peace to the professional world! ]
[Omega, get out of the holographic esports world! Omega professional players are strictly prohibited! Let’s bring peace to the professional world! ]
[Omega, get out of the holographic esports world! Omega professional players are strictly prohibited! Let’s bring peace to the professional world! ]
......
Of course, there were fans who spoke up for Polaris, as well as some passersby.
【It’s just a video, what can it say? 】
This video has been over-processed. I think the person who recorded it is truly scheming.
[Not taking sides, the origin of the video is strange, waiting for official notification.]
[Can an Omega control their estrus? You're really talking nonsense!]
I don't believe Polaris would do this, and I don't believe BLink would do this either. I'm waiting for an official response.
[Wuwuwuwuwu, stop cursing, stop cursing. They must all have their own reasons. It won't be like this!]
......
Unfortunately, public opinion online was so one-sided that these words were quickly drowned out by a flood of insults and curses.
Cyberbullying is rampant, and at this moment, the target of cyberbullying, Xia Tong, is lying on a bed in the inpatient department, receiving bottle of intravenous fluids one after another.
Lin Mingfei had been guarding by the bed. He held Xia Tong's palm and felt it was constantly burning hot. The little Omega was lying there, unconscious, breathing rapidly. Because of the difficulty in breathing, his bloodless lips were kept open, like a fish out of water, and his face was even more sickly flushed, looking very pitiful.
All of this stirred in Lin Mingfei's chest like a knife, making him feel both heartbroken and angry.
He hated himself for not being able to take Xia Tong's place when she got sick, hated himself for not showing up earlier, hated himself for not staying by Xia Tong's side the whole time, hated himself for agreeing to let Xia Tong continue competing, hated himself for bringing Xia Tong into the professional esports world... He now had countless regrets, but he could do nothing -
He thought that all his so-called excellent qualities that fascinated Xia Tong, such as "calm, rational, and unmoved," had disappeared completely, leaving only impotent rage that was about to burn him to ashes.
