Chapter 1641: Chapter 1313: How Can Others Sleep Soundly Beside My Bed?
Lin Yuan was a bit troubled.
Now someone has already started suspecting Shadow.
As the person involved, shouldn’t Shadow clear up the suspicion at this point to make sense?
However, there’s no problem with this suspicion at all. What would Shadow say if he denies it now and gets exposed later?
Throughout the years Lin Yuan has misled the public with various personas, but it has just been misleading.
There is still a difference between misleading and downright denying, and Lin Yuan has a strong principle in this regard—he’s essentially a child who doesn’t like lying.
It’s better to continue misleading this wave.
Raising an eyebrow, Lin Yuan gradually came up with an idea.
He opened his blog, logged into Shadow’s account directly, then tagged Xian Yu and Chu Kuang, and posted this update:
“It’s hilarious, I knew this day would come.”
This sentence neither confirmed nor denied Shadow’s identity, but it’s highly misleading, as if the “Shadow” already knew the truth and was teasing Lin Yuan about being exposed.
The whole internet was focused on the Chu Kuang exposure incident.
Shadow was naturally deeply involved in this nationwide celebratory discussion.
In this situation, Shadow posting an update instantly drew worldwide attention!
“I told you, Shadow God already knew the truth!”
“And you’re laughing!”
“Don’t act so innocent!”
“Lin Yuan must feel awkward in front of Shadow, right?”
“Shadow: Brother is so amazing, I really envy someone with two accounts.”
“It seems Shadow indeed couldn’t be someone’s third persona.”
“It was never possible.”
“Anyone daring enough to propose this idea must be bold.”
“It’s unimaginable that Shadow could also be a persona of Lin Yuan.”
“Let me remind you, unless someone admits it themselves, you wouldn’t believe it, and couldn’t imagine Xian Yu and Chu Kuang are the same person!”
“Now everyone’s acting wise in hindsight, and when you look back, you can spot many details.”
“Actually, Lin Yuan also likes to leave details, didn’t he recite a poem, ‘A Poem on Mount Lu,’ at the end of his live stream? ‘I am Chu Kuang’ was one of the details, and another detail dates back to an early poem of his.”
“Are you referring to ‘Inscribe on the West Forest Wall’?”
“Exactly, there’s a classic line in it: ‘You cannot see the true face of Mount Lu, just because you’re in the midst of it.'”
“What a line: ‘You cannot see the true face of Mount Lu!'”
Lin Yuan had been closely monitoring the direction of the comments. When he saw that people were no longer caught up with Shadow’s identity, he finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.
However, a hint of worry remained on Lin Yuan’s face as he exhaled.
Actually, this was a useful blunder.
Although it temporarily eases the risk of Shadow being exposed, if he really gets exposed in the future, the downfall will be even more dramatic.
I, Lin, am ready to face death with equanimity.
As they say, practice makes perfect.
It’s simply a matter of going through something experienced before again.
When the time comes, just shut down the computer, unplug the cable, lie on the bed, and give up completely.
Lying flat, you’ll hear no one’s voice, and you won’t have to work either. Isn’t that a good way to go?
The impact of Chu Kuang’s exposure was wild, affecting multiple cultural sectors on Blue Star, so much so that until that night, trending topics on major social platforms hadn’t ceased!
By the following morning, while everyone was still fervently discussing the Chu Kuang exposure, they suddenly noticed that several top-ranking pages couldn’t be displayed!
The entire internet was in discussion.
“Why can’t we suddenly open several ranking lists?”
“Did the Literature and Art Association’s system crash?”
“I still wanted to see if Chu Kuang and Xian Yu’s rankings would change.”
“There will definitely be changes!”
“Xian Yu and Chu Kuang are the same person, if nothing else, the writer’s ranking will definitely change!”
“The biggest problem with Chu Kuang is the lack of literary quality, but Xian Yu completely makes up for that!”
“Why don’t you say that Xian Yu only wrote poetry, not novels, and Chu Kuang makes up for his only shortcoming?”
“Wow, you’re really stirring things up here?”
“Not only the writer’s list, but other rankings will surely be affected as well. Don’t forget an important criterion for rankings is influence, what concept do you think it is when Chu Kuang and Xian Yu’s influence combines into one?”
“The rankings becoming inaccessible might definitely have something to do with this incident!”
“See for yourselves, the rankings that can’t be accessed basically all involve Chu Kuang or Xian Yu!”
“That’s actually true!”
Just as netizens expected.
This incident indeed involved Lin Yuan’s two personas.
Because soon the Literature and Art Association issued a global announcement.
“Due to some rankings involving a certain special individual, the situation is quite unique, with massive data involved, and we did not have previous experience in handling such cases, so the rankings will not be displayed temporarily. Relevant departments are holding emergency meetings to discuss this ranking change, anticipated to be progressively restored by tonight. Please keep an eye out.”
That’s quite reserved.
Look at the way they phrased it.
Calling it a ‘certain special individual,’ really?
Who doesn’t already know what’s going on?
Might as well just announce Lin Yuan’s ID card number.
As for the situation being unique, that’s easier to understand.
Because in every major sector on Blue Star, everyone has only one identity on this ranking!
Yet here comes an anomaly like Lin Yuan, who manages to have two personas, and both of their rankings are insanely high! Googlᴇ search novel⚑fire.net
