All-rounder Artist-Chapter 715 - 681: How are you so skilled?_1

When the final volume of "The Great Detective Hercule Poirot" was released, Silver Blue Books made a lot of effort in promoting it.

Knowing full well that the Poirot series was about to end, they published its last volume...

But it’s different this time.

Perhaps the lesson from the last time was too profound, or maybe there were other concerns.

Anyway, Silver Blue Books didn’t do any flashy endings or gimmicks for the promotion of "The Final Case" this time.

The company didn’t even inform the readers in advance that this story represents the conclusion of the Holmes series, but, unusually, published the last volume of the Holmes series quietly--

Everything was as calm as ever.

Some readers didn’t discover the new book from "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes" until they walked into the bookstore.

With surprise, they spread the news to others!

As a phenomenally popular detective series, each new installment of the Holmes series could stir readers’ enthusiasm to the highest degree.

Whether Silver Blue Books promoted it or not, the news would spread amongst the reading community in no time!

Obviously.

The popularity of this installment is no less than the previous parts of "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes".

Even hotter, in fact!

Because with the merging of Qin, Qi, Chu and other continents, the fan base of Holmes has expanded to an exaggerated extent!

The influence of Holmes has spread across each of the five continents!

The number of readers across the five continents is almost unimaginably vast!

The impatient readers, after buying the latest Sherlock Holmes volume, couldn’t wait to start reading!

And before they started reading.

The title "The Final Case" certainly made many readers’ hearts skip a beat.

But no matter what assumptions they made in their hearts, such as the possibility that this might be the final installment of the Holmes series, couldn’t suppress readers’ enormous passion for Holmes.

Until...

They "witnessed" Holmes and Moriarty perishing together...

With only a "puff" of a noise.

Like a raging fire suddenly extinguished by a downpour, leaving only charred ashes, with barely a few wisps of lingering smoke-

Sherlock Holmes is dead!?

When the questioning sentence turns into a confirmed one...

The readers of the Qin Continent were dumbfounded!

The readers of the Qi Continent were dumbfounded!

The readers of the Chu Continent were dumbfounded!

All the readers on each of the five continents were dumbfounded!

Quickly, quickly, quickly!

All the major bookstores, as if they had agreed, changed the newest volume of "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes" promotional posters to a somber, grey series.

The poster covers had words like "shocked", "grief", "regret", "unacceptable" written in large sizes.

And the image of Holmes with his hat and pipe looked more lonely than ever before.

Under the grey backdrop, the scent of sorrow almost ran into you.

Silver Blue Books appeared to have foreseen this, the company’s official microblog immediately changed to a grey image of Holmes and posted a status update:

"Deeply mourn the death of Mr. Sherlock Holmes..."

Less than half an hour.

Previously quiet internet across all states suddenly became noisy!

Like it was hit with a nuclear weapon, social networking platforms went into a frenzy of refreshing, the internet experienced a massive surge of activity!

On each forum, the words "Holmes dies" appeared at an unprecedented rate!

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

The bewildered readers gradually came to their senses!

Back to old habits!

This old rascal has started killing again!

He used the pen that killed Biyao and Poirot, to kill the beloved Holmes!

The scars that had barely healed from the previous two times were torn open again!

The readers have completely lost their minds!

"You old scoundrel Chu Kuang, I’m going to fight you!"

"You’ve murdered the faith of billions of readers worldwide!"

"Third time, it’s the third time already, Chu Kuang, please, be a human for once!"

"Chu Kuang you old scum, I will never trust you again!"

"You’re a malicious executioner, a heartless demon, a maniacal psychopath!"

"This can’t be true, this must be fake. Rewrite it, I’ll pretend I’ve never seen this nonsense ’Final Case’!"

"I had a bad feeling when I saw the title, I didn’t expect you to dare to do it, how could you possibly dare to do this!"

"Whoever the readers like, you will kill?"

"If you don’t change the ending, I will never read your books in my life!"

"Chu Kuang, I implore you to be kind, return my Holmes!"

"I’ve seen this plot, Poirot died the same way, dying with criminals due to some excuse, Chu Kuang you old rascal, have you run out of ideas?"

"I really am a fool, I actually got hurt by the same person three times in a row, and each time it’s more outrageous than the last!"

"When I saw that Holmes died, I was shaking with anger, even in this hot weather my whole body is cold and sweaty, hell is empty and the devil is among us, will Chu Kuang ever stop? What do we readers need to do to satisfy you? Tears are streaming uncontrollably, Chu Kuang’s books are filled with oppression against the readers, when will the readers truly stand up!"

"..."

Chu Kuang’s tribal comment section has been overwhelmed!

Silver Blue Books comments section too has been overwhelmed!

The readers have gone crazy, judging from reactions on the internet, it’s even more extreme than the last time. The hatred and pain from Poirot’s death back then has been stirred up again!

Boom boom boom!

A great upheaval has occurred in the entire book industry!

All the peers were dumbstruck!

Has Chu Kuang lost his mind? Continue your saga on novelbuddy

There’s no author crazier than Chu Kuang in the entire Blue Star literary world!

This man really doesn’t act human!

You killed off Biyao, you killed off Poirot, have you tasted the sweetness of it?

Other authors are trying their best to please the readers, only you are persistently playing with the readers!

It seems like when other authors are researching how to write books that would satisfy the readers, you, Chu Kuang, you old rascal, have only been figuring out how to deliver a huge blow to the readers?

Showing off now, are you!

Oh, you can really show off!

The peers don’t know whether to say they are envious or frightened.

How can there be such a ludicrous author in this world?

You are ending a popular book unnecessarily, you take no interest in any real money!

If you are ending it, then just end it! At most people will complain a bit about it being too short, but you had to kill off the protagonist while ending it!

Compared to this.

The end is nothing.

This is Holmes!

This is the Holmes that helped you alleviate the sorrow brought by Poirot’s death!

Everyone remembers how the readers collectively rioted when Chu Kuang killed Poirot last time!

If it weren’t for the publication of Holmes, who knows how long the readers would have yelled at Chu Kuang.

But Chu Kuang seems to have forgotten so quickly.

He actually killed off Holmes too!

Chu Kuang you old rascal!

Are you happy now?

Are you satisfied now?

Do you know how much we love you now, the readers want to give you some local specialties to comfort you!

How are you so skillful at this?
