Caramel Snail was the first professional player to disappear.
His disappearance was like a stone sinking into the water, neither causing a ripple nor making a sound.
The public opinion control agency of Qiqiao Network quickly activated, allowing some information about Caramel Snail, or Jiaozi Niu, to leak out, while greatly diluting and deleting traces of Jiaozi Niu online. His relatives and friends in the real world were either threatened at home or relocated to remote areas, ceasing to engage with the world.
Not long after, even the club that Xia Yubing and Jiaozi Niu frequented most was forcibly disbanded. Former friends were scattered, some returning home, some heading to the countryside, most losing contact with each other.
Xia Yubing really couldn't understand why Qiqiao Network, such a big company, would go to great lengths to erase the existence of an ordinary player. Had he committed some unforgivable crime or obstructed someone's way of gaining benefits?
