Chapter 1667: Chapter 1327: Hello Everyone, I Am Shadow (Part 3)

After this reporter finished speaking.

Countless reporters at the scene scrambled to ask questions:

"In the song ’Listen to Your Mother’, are there lyrics hinting at a third persona of yours?"

"Are you Shadow?"

"Why has Shadow never revealed their face?"

"What exactly is your relationship with Shadow?"

"Is the speculation online that you are Shadow true?"

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but interrupt the questions:

"When creating lyrics, sometimes for the sake of rhyming, some so-called artistic modifications are made. Many of my songs are like this, especially love songs wherein various love stories are fabricated. The stories in the lyrics are one thing, but reality is often another... Film and TV creations are the same... Characters, actors, and screenwriters are all separate... I’m saying... most of the time..."

Beside him.

Jin Mu suddenly leaned close to Lin Yuan, awkwardly whispering, "Ignore them, don’t mention Shadow for now, just read the script."

"Okay... okay..."

Lin Yuan nodded guiltily and once again looked at the script in his hand: "Hello everyone... okay... actually..."

Looking at the script.

Lin Yuan stuttered as he read.

Everyone below the stage was watching him.

Lin Yuan’s voice suddenly paused.

Reading from the script was really not enjoyable.

Facing countless cameras from global media, Lin Yuan seemed to make a significant decision, took a deep breath, and then had a resolute expression as if ready to face any consequence, and this time he no longer stuttered, he simply and straightforwardly uttered four words:

"I am Shadow."

Rumble!

The whole place erupted!

The whole world erupted!

Just as the reporters at the scene said!

This press conference was broadcasted live worldwide!

And with Lin Yuan’s current fame, a single press conference could garner global attention!

Therefore.

When Lin Yuan said on stage, "I am Shadow," the world went wild!

...

Qin Continent!

"Holy shit!!"

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

"Oh my god, how is this possible!!!!"

...

Qi Continent!

"It’s actually true!!"

"I fucking guessed it right!!!"

"Shadow, I knew he was Shadow!!!!"

...

Chu Continent!

"Lin Yuan is Shadow!!"

"Shadow is his persona, those lyrics were a direct hint!!!"

"So, Lin Yuan isn’t number one in three rankings, he’s number one in four rankings!!!!"

...

Yan Continent!

"Awooo!!"

"What kind of international joke is this!!!"

"Freak!!!!"

...

Han Continent!

"Not human!"

"He’s not human!!"

"Of course, he’s not human, he’s a god!!!!"

...

Zhao Continent!

"Donating over 600 billion secretly and then astonishing everyone isn’t enough!?"

"You say you’re Shadow!?"

"Unbelievable!!!"

...

Wei Continent!

"The Painting Soul series is your work!"

"A mortal body compared with the divine!!!"

"First in four rankings, unprecedented and unrepeatable!!!"

...

Zhong Continent!

"I thought it was the most ridiculous speculation by netizens!"

"Lin Yuan: There are rumors that I’m Shadow, let me clarify, those are not rumors."

"Crazy, I’m going crazy, wow wow wow!!!!"

...

At home!

"Hahahahahahahahaha!"

"He finally said it!"

"I’m going to post this on social media!"

"Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!!"

...

Shadow Studio!

"Jin Mu, how unfaithful, ran away the first chance he got!"

"I’d run too if it were me!"

"There’s an embarrassment in this world called..."

"I feel embarrassed for you!"

"Social death!"

"Thrilled to see this!"

"I’m suffocating inside!"

"He finally said it! Should have said it ages ago!!"

...

Starlight!

"Holy crap!"

"All three bros are him!?"

"What Chu Kuang, Xian Yu, and Shadow, they’re all the same person!"

"He doesn’t have just two phones!"

"He has three phones!"

"Is this even about the number of phones!"

"Literature and Art Association: We have experience with temporarily adjusting a large scale of the rankings."

"What kind of monster did our company just produce?!"

...

Silver Blue Books!

"Ahhhhh, watch the live news!"

"That old rascal Chu Kuang... wait, Teacher Chu Kuang is Shadow!"

"My God, no wonder Shadow debuted with ’Prince of Tennis’!"

"No wonder Shadow’s manga rights are all given to Starlight for development!!!"

"Three Bros, three geniuses who shocked the world, are actually one person!"

...

Music Scene!

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"

"Pinch me."

"Ah, it hurts!"

"Not dreaming?"

"Is this world real?"

"Did he really just say that?"

...

Writers’ Circle!

"???????????"

"Three Bros are the same person, what kind of international joke is this?"

"This joke isn’t funny!"

"The old rascal Chu Kuang is the world’s most talented painter-writer?"

"A painter who doesn’t want to be a writer is not a good Maestro!?"

"Where’s the dance, where did you put the dance?"

"This is too much, he knows so much, where can I put it, there’s no room left!"

"Is this where the confidence to donate a trillion comes from!"

"Xian Yu, Shadow, Chu Kuang, the money these pseudonyms made is indeed substantial!"

...

At a certain clubhouse!

Yang Zhongming is dumbfounded!

Lu Sheng’s jaw dropped!

Abigail spat water everywhere!

Zheng Jing, who always loved painting, said word by word:

"He...is...Shad...ow...?"

"He is Shadow!?"

"He is Shadow!!!!"

"Little Fish, turned out to be my biggest idol Shadow!?"

...

Yu Dynasty!

"Represent he he he he he he he he he..."

"Ah!"

"I should have realized it sooner!"

"Indeed."

"What do you mean by indeed, Sun Yaohuo, speak clearly!"

"Nothing much to say, it just means I care more about the representative than you guys (dog head)"

"I want to have kids with the representative!"

"You can’t handle it, let your sister handle it instead!"

...

On site!

All journalists went crazy!

Even host An Hong looked completely dumbfounded!

Damn!

Lin Yuan’s identity got revealed three times, and I witnessed it all!

Is it a coincidence or what!?

This host had completely forgotten his duties!

Until the journalists’ noise almost spiraled out of control, he realized his responsibility:

"Everybody, please calm down!"

The scene was barely quiet, yet the journalists’ faces still showed craziness!

Lin Yuan is Shadow!

All three Bros are personas of the same person!

Of course, this drives the journalists crazy, or rather, the whole world is about to go mad at this!

With a wry smile.

An Hong looked at Lin Yuan: "I’ve read your ’Journey to the West,’ where it mentions ’turning one into three,’ does this count as the real-life version of it?"

Lin Yuan didn’t know how to respond.

An Hong continued: "We know Xian Yu’s stage name originated from ’Lingering on the edge envying fish is worse than retreating and weaving nets; Chu Kuang’s pen name came from, ’I am a native of Chu King, singing and laughing at Confucius;’ then what about Shadow?"

"Between flowers and a pot of wine, I drink alone with no one to accompany me, so I raise my cup to the moon, and with my shadow, we become three."

Raise my cup to the moon, and with my shadow, we become three!

How great is this becoming one with the shadow, he showed us once again!

Silence fell upon the scene, the journalists looked at him, people all over the world looked at him.

In this silence, people couldn’t help but recall the storms stirred by the Three Bros over the years, the atmosphere suddenly turned awkward...

An epic awkward scene unfolded, late but finally arrived!

Lin Yuan’s toes dug forcefully into the ground, his face tinged with a blush, creating a picturesque scene, depicting a world-famous painting.

Some people are alive, yet they’re already dead, like Lin Yuan;

Some people are dead; yet they still live, like Lin·Xian Yu·Chu Kuang·Shadow·Yuan.

————————

ps: All good things must come to an end, Shadow’s revelation means the finale is approaching, I saw someone in the comments asking if there will be ten more Chapters to address some unresolved issues, but actually, all necessary content has already been addressed, and among Polluted White’s books, this one’s ending is relatively complete and fulfilling.
