Chapter 1370 - 1141 Chu Kuang Thinks It’s Awesome

Chapter 1370: Chapter 1141 Chu Kuang Thinks It’s Awesome

It’s still the tenth of April.

The time is roughly around eleven o’clock at night.

The internet, which should have been relatively calm at this hour, suddenly turned into a pot of boiling oil—with a few unexpected drops of water splashed in—

Instantly, oil splattered everywhere!

On a certain novel forum in Zhong Continent.

Nobody knows whose post was the first to bring up the death of Sirius, but in any case, the poster who read ahead and mentioned it was swiftly muted.

The post got 404’d.

The reason? Too many obscenities. Besides the barrage of colorful insults, it was also peppered with random gibberish like #￥%&*@.

Following that.

More posts began to appear!

These kinds of posts successively exploded across major forums in Zhong Continent, causing countless readers to completely lose it!

"Chu! Kuang! Old! Rascal!"

"Give me back Sirius, give me back the godfather!"

"How could this happen? How could Sirius die!?"

"If I were Voldemort, the first thing I’d do is send Death Eaters to kill Chu Kuang!!!"

"I won’t accept this!"

"/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~!!!!"

"Dammit, crying in the middle of the night until my eyes are swollen—how am I supposed to work tomorrow!?"

"Wasn’t Cedric enough!?"

"Has Chu Kuang the old rascal become addicted to breaking our hearts?!"

"This is a sickness, and it needs to be cured!"

"Aaaaah, someone hand me my eighty-meter broadsword!"

"I can understand Harry Potter needing to grow, but why drag the tone into despair for hundreds of thousands of words just to end it like this?!"

"One of my favorite characters ever is dead!"

"I’ve cried myself into a wreck—Sirius will never come back!"

"Change the plot!"

"This part of the story must be changed, old rascal!"

In fact.

It wasn’t just Zhong Continent.

Readers from other continents felt the same.

Even those veteran readers who prided themselves on their emotional resilience completely broke down!

...

Qin Continent.

"You’re telling me this crap qualifies as children’s literature?"

"Explain to me—what counts as children’s literature, huh?!"

"I **********!"

...

Qi Continent.

"He’s back!"

"That blood-soaked executioner is back again!"

"Cedric’s death was the first cut—a wound to the body. Sirius is the second cut—stabbed straight into the heart!"

...

Chu Continent.

"Cedric died in the fourth book, Sirius in the fifth!"

"What, are we scheduled to lose one character per book going forward?!"

"I! Don’t! Agree!"

...

Yan Continent.

"Waaaaaahhhhhh!"

"This has gone too far!"

"This time, it’s just way too much!"

...

Han Continent.

"This is criminal!"

"Killing Cedric was bad enough!"

"Killing Sirius is even worse—it’s unforgivable!"

...

Zhao Continent.

"Here we go again, here we go—again and again!"

"I’m scared to read the next book now!"

"Why does Voldemort get away with everything?! Someone kill him already, damn it!"

...

Wei Continent.

"Why read children’s literature? I mean seriously, isn’t sci-fi better?"

"Clearly, Chu Kuang has some deep misunderstanding of what children’s literature is supposed to be!"

"This book is so suffocating, more oppressive than anything else I’ve ever read! From start to finish, it’s pure torment!"

...

Among writers!

Countless authors were stunned!

"This guy really has guts, huh?!"

"Killing Cedric, I could still understand as a plot necessity. But killing off Sirius—what kind of warped thinking is this?!"

"How does he even dare?!"

"Does he not know how beloved Sirius is?!"

"This is completely different from killing Cedric!"

"And he still dreams of climbing Blue Star’s Author Rankings?"

"At such a critical junction, he still finds ways to upset his readers—both old and new—ruining his standing with Zhong Continent readers entirely!"

"Why can’t he just play it safe?"

"He didn’t even need to kill off Sirius, and readers would’ve still eaten it up!"

"It’s always like this—does he not know how to be a decent human being?!"

"He’s always been like this?"

"You Zhong Continent authors don’t get it—this guy’s a repeat offender!"

"Every other author tiptoes around their readers, terrified of disappointing them. This guy, on the other hand, actively looks for ways to mess with our emotions!"

"Then how has he not crashed and burned yet?"

"If you’re asking me, who the hell am I supposed to ask?!"

...

Readers cried for blood! Authors were left helplessly amused!

Even celebrities couldn’t sit still this time!

A well-known actor posted: "I’m losing sleep tonight—Sirius’s death is so hard to accept!"

A famous singer posted: "I can’t get over this. Who was it that recommended I read the Harry Potter series back then?!"

A prominent internet influencer posted: "My mindset has completely collapsed!"

The ripple effects spread.

In the face of Sirius’s death, all other news seemed irrelevant!

#TheDeathOfSirius#

These five words skyrocketed to the top of trending topics across all platforms in every continent!

In an incredibly short time.

News of it was already everywhere!

Countless media workers were jolted awake in their sleep, scrambling to publish emergency articles with sweat on their brows!

"Public Outrage Boils Over!"

"Chu Kuang’s in Big Trouble!"

"The Fall of Sirius!"

"After Cedric, Another Blow from the Harry Potter Series!"

"Readers Demand: Cedric Was Hard Enough, But Sirius?! This Is Too Much!"

"The Harry Potter Series’ Fan-Favorite Sirius Black Dies, Readers Cry Floods of Tears!"

"Chu Kuang’s Double Kill Complete!"

...

No, really.

A siege.

Many readers didn’t even have blog accounts, but for Sirius’s death, they started registering accounts en masse!

This caused Chu Kuang’s comment section to fall into complete chaos!

Sorrow!

Heartache!

Agony!

The death of Sirius delivered a blow to readers that was exponentially worse than when Cedric died!

Because Cedric’s character, though portrayed vividly, had only a fleeting bond with Harry.

But Sirius was Harry’s only family. As his godfather, he had always helped Harry selflessly, giving everything without reserve. Not even the many years of imprisonment in Azkaban broke his spirit!

Bearing the title of "Godfather."

In truth, readers had already begun treating him as Harry’s father!

Harry himself loved him deeply, seeing Sirius as the most important person in his life!

And just at this moment.

Silver Blue Books’ official account posted the following statement:

"Only by witnessing death can one see Thestrals; only with enough concentration can one cast a spell; only by remembering happiness can one summon a Patronus; only after experiencing joy can one resist Dementors; every great wizard once clumsily raised a wand, and no famous reign was ever established by rules tacked on walls. When the secret portal of the Order of the Phoenix opens, Muggles remain blissfully unaware. This winter, a Harry Potter in adolescence endures loneliness after the storm and learns in the ruins that every ordeal is a form of wealth."

"We know your sorrow."

"Just as we understand Harry’s sorrow."

"Because this is his second time realizing that a simple spell—just one—can take a life. The first was his senior Cedric; now it is his godfather, Sirius."

"And yet..."

"Harry Potter is no longer the carefree boy who could immerse himself in the joy of Quidditch. This is the path of growth he must tread."

Then.

Readers saw:

Chu Kuang the old rascal gave it a thumbs-up.
