Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 1661 - 1660: Blurring Reality and Illusion

Chapter 1661: Chapter 1660: Blurring Reality and Illusion

One, then another, and another.

Gradually, there was no indifference, no confusion. The blood surged in the chest and could no longer be controlled, igniting passion, proudly facing the challenges head-on.

Hardman could no longer hold it in, took a few big steps forward, and came to Diggs’ side, "Rookie, maybe our role is limited, but we’ll do our best. Didn’t you say it? No matter how hard, when more people share the burden, it’s not so hard."

The words were chaotic and stammering, unable to accurately express the inner feelings, but the sincerity was so brilliant and so precious, shown without reservation.

Watching this scene in front of him, Li Wei’s smile lifted slightly at the corner of his mouth, "Relax, relax, no one is abandoning anyone here."

"Oh, Jesus Christ, those guys who didn’t show up in the locker room or the parking lot today must feel like idiots. Really, thank you so much for leaving me this mess to clean up."

The first half of the sentence was a joke, with laughter bubbling beneath.

The second half was teasing, and everyone started looking around with smiles, not just the young ones in front, but also those standing behind Li Wei, looking at each other and confirming.

Chris Jones whispered, "Rookie, the entire defensive group is here."

Kelsey nodded, "Yep, the offensive group is all here, and the special duty group too."

Up front, Hardman shouted loudly with his head held high, "First-years and second-years, not missing a single one."

All eyes were on Li Wei.

Now, Li Wei felt a bit embarrassed, spreading his hands, "Calm down, calm down, we’re not taking attendance here, just regretful for Coach Reed."

Trying hard to hide, but inadvertently revealing some embarrassment, his voice carrying a slight nasal tone and trembling.

Diggs was the first to start jeering, "The rookie is moved to tears, ho ho ho, the rookie is crying, we’ve made the rookie cry."

Li Wei rolled his eyes, wondering why that statement sounded so odd?

Hill noticed, glanced at Diggs and then at Li Wei, said nothing, but stood there laughing uproariously, bending forward and backward with no restraint.

Kelsey, Mahomes, Watt exchanged glances in the back, whispering, engaging in not-so-secretive small talk, their sidelong glances occasionally sweeping over Li Wei, with Kelsey blatantly examining Li Wei’s profile.

Li Wei was full of helplessness, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. If you hold it in, you’ll end up needing the team doctor, such a hassle."

Pfft, puff puff.

A series of stifled laughs leaked out, ultimately turning into bouts of unrestrained laughter.

Laughter erupted all around, creating a lively atmosphere.

...

At the Arrowhead Stadium parking lot, the hustle and bustle were palpable, with joyful laughter scattered about; there was no trace of the gloom of ending the winning streak.

But on social media, all sorts of schadenfreude, all sorts of kicks when one is down, all kinds of goblins filled every nook, a dancing demon frenzy.

"Throw confetti, throw confetti, tonight is a party night!"

"Finally! The heavens have eyes, finally!"

"The beginning of a dynasty’s collapse, oh yeah, other teams should learn from Las Vegas, okay?"

"Come on, teams, please replicate the monumental 2017 season, not asking for six straight losses, just give the Kansas City Chiefs four straight losses to wake them up."

"This is the NFL; no one can win 23 consecutive regular season games!"

"Buffalo Bills, it’s on you now, please send the Kansas City Chiefs to hell!"

"Finally, we don’t have to listen to those ESPN experts praising the Kansas City Chiefs, making black seem white, one by one losing dignity bending over backwards for the Kansas City Chiefs."

"Reckoning! This is reckoning! Serves them right! Who let the Kansas City Chiefs be so arrogant?"

"The downhill path has begun, Kansas City Chiefs should watch the brakes, ha ha ha."

"Am I the only one who’s happier that Arrowhead’s home game winning streak ended than the regular season winning streak ending, ah, those disgusting faces in Kansas City can finally get lost."

"Hooray, Arrowhead Stadium lost! Aaaaa, picking one person from the retweets to directly transfer five hundred US Dollars, no reason, just because I’m happy."

"Die die die, Arrowhead Stadium is a devil’s home field!"

"Did you see Arrowhead Stadium’s silent appearance today? It’s so satisfying."

Curses, malice, carnival.

These are just the tip of the iceberg, truly unbearable, filthy language filled every corner of social media, simply unbearable to watch.

All these fill the timeline, as if the entire North American continent is celebrating, pervasive, inescapable.

Carter tasted bitterness in his mouth.

He tried to stay away from social media, shutting out all that noise, and the world became quiet. He didn’t need to argue with those madmen or dog-fighting lunatics, because no matter what he said, the trolls remained trolls, haters would always hate, and he should just ignore them.

However, he still couldn’t control himself.

Though he knew the reasoning, the suppressed anger in his chest was still unable to be vented.

This season, all home-field advantages were undermined, firstly attendance was restricted by the league to 22%; secondly, all spectators had to wear masks and were prohibited from shouting and cheering.

Even Arrowhead Stadium, which had grown into the league’s strongest devil’s home field over four seasons, was no exception, unable to leverage its home advantage.

But did those trolls and haters care?

No, they didn’t care; they just seized on a result to vent hatred, and that’s all there was to it.

Carter kept telling himself to calm down, their anger and retaliation would only become a new stimulus, evolving into tools for those lunatics to use.

But... but!

Seeing those madmen’s indiscriminate attacks on Li Wei, filthy and despicable words completely breaking the baseline, Carter could hardly believe his eyes.

"Why don’t you just die?"

"You’re the worst, most disgusting existence in the world."

"Can’t even beat trash like Las Vegas, you should die to atone."

"And to think he’s the League’s First Man, just looking like this he should be ashamed to death when he sees himself in the mirror."

"He did it on purpose, he deliberately lost the game, get out."

These too were just the tip of the iceberg.

Carter had heard about that incident at Gillette Stadium before, but he never experienced it firsthand, never could imagine how terrifying the attacks aimed at Mahomes were, until now, seeing the true malice of social media firsthand.

There was no other explanation, it was pure malice, a kind of hate, a kind of attack, a kind of humiliation, blatantly showing the evil of human nature, and not just targeting Li Wei — even Li Wei’s parents, family, friends, all of them were included, attacked from every angle without exception.

Carter couldn’t believe it; how could anyone be so ugly and hideous?

This was just one game, just one in the season’s sixteen regular games; did they expect the Kansas City Chiefs to remain undefeated for a second consecutive year? Did they think the Kansas City Chiefs could never lose?

If they thought it was so easy, why didn’t they try themselves? One by one, they’d only talk that way, and in real life, they’d likely be shut-ins or cowards.

怒火, burning in the chest.

What should he do? What to do, what to do, what to do?

He needed to fight back, he had to fight back, he couldn’t let those filthy words hurt Li Wei and the team!

But, how should he do it? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

If it were Felix, what would he do?
