Chapter 109: Chapter 109: He Couldn’t Have Depression, Could He?

Silence lingered for a long time until a single clap shattered it.

The venue instantly erupted into thunderous applause.

After the applause, it seemed the audience finally began to emerge from their emotions.

They were all cursing in awe.

"That’s definitely Wu, I’ve heard her live performance as the Heavenly Queen before, felt exactly like just now!"

"It was so unbearable, while listening I felt like I was constantly sinking down, down to the bottom of the sea where no light could reach."

"This was my first time listening to Wu sing live, and I’ve got to say I’ve witnessed her emotionally fluent singing style, these feelings are just too real."

"Wu always sings like this. If you’re on her wavelength, and you resonate with her emotions, you’ll be completely pulled into her world of feelings. Sigh, just now, for a moment, I felt a bit of a desire to leave this world."

Many people had watched Wu Mu sing on TV before, especially that performance as the Heavenly Queen, and many felt the people who cried in the audience were faking it.

But just now, they realized if you got into Wu’s emotional world, crying wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all.

Among the live audience, countless were moved to tears, and even that was considered lucky since they could at least let it out.

The intense feeling of world-weariness and numbness in the song just now made people want to quietly sink to the bottom of the sea, not even having the desire to cry.

Sitting in the audience, Han Yan started to feel a sense of identification, looking drained. She glanced at her best friend beside her and sighed, "Now I understand why you couldn’t help but stand up and shout your love for him. Just now, I felt that impulse too."

Even though she was definitely an anti-fan of Wu Mu, watching Wu Mu act like he might really leave just now, her heart couldn’t help but rush, wanting to tell him that there were people in the world who cared about him, urging him not to go.

Her best friend Zhang Li wiped the tears from her face and rolled her eyes at her, "Then why didn’t you stand up and shout just now?"

Han Yan replied with conviction, "Wasn’t I just worrying about being broadcasted and ending up socially dead like you?"

After the joke, she hesitated and whispered to her friend, "Does Wu have depression? The emotions in his song are so desperate, but he seems so happy normally... maybe he’s just pretending to be happy all the time?"

Zhang Li was stunned; she’d never considered this before.

Wu Mu has depression?

She instinctively looked towards the stage.

On stage, Wu Mu didn’t seem too affected by the emotions in his song, looking rather relaxed as he gauged the reactions from the audience below.

Noticing her gaze, he even gave a slight smile and waved at her.

Zhang Li’s face flushed, knowing without a word that he was definitely thinking of the time she had stood up to declare her love for him.

"It doesn’t look like it." After a moment of thought, she felt it was unlikely.

Many people with depression do wear happiness as a mask, but Wu Mu’s type of joy doesn’t seem fake at all; he exudes a passion for life.

While the audience below was exploding with reaction, the competitor’s area was also in an uproar.

Mo Mo, with eyes as red as a rabbit’s, need not say more, as she was looking at him with a worried expression.

The two foreign singers sitting beside her were experiencing this emotionally infectious singing style for the first time, and they were absolutely stunned.

Looking at Wu Mu, their eyes were filled with the same awe one would have for a deity.

What in the world was going on, they couldn’t understand the lyrics, yet they had been completely drawn into this singer’s emotions?

In just that short moment, they all involuntarily recalled every kind of pain they had experienced in life, followed by a sense of world-weariness and numbness.

How did he do that?

The shock this gave them was far greater than when they watched Mo Mo perform. They had seen Mo Mo’s technical skill in other top singers and were able to understand it.

But that singing method just now was genuinely incomprehensible; they couldn’t see at all how Wu Mu used any technique to infuse so much emotion into his voice.

The judges were equally shocked.

Zhao Xue laughed in amazement, "Teacher Wu Mu, this is the first time I’ve heard you sing live like this, I really didn’t expect your singing to have such strong Infectiousness."

She was no longer calling him by the code name 0 or Mechanical Warrior; she was almost completely certain that this person was Wu Mu, as the style of singing was too distinct.

Wu Mu was still pretending, laughing, "I’m not Wu Mu, oh, I’m just disguised like in the previous rounds. You’ll fall right into a trap if you try to guess my name later on."

But the judges weren’t listening at all; being misled by him now would be the real trap.

Even Wang Xiaotian couldn’t help saying, "You really are Wu Mu, aren’t you? No, how come you can sing so well?"

Were the skills that Star had shown before not way above the level of past traffic-by-numbers singers? Was he hiding his abilities before, or had he improved during this period?

How has he gotten so talented in such a short time?

After marveling, everyone proceeded to the voting session.

Wu Mu won by a landslide of 192 votes to 9.

In the second round of singing, the judges chose a Heavenly Queen song for Wu Mu.

But this time, Wu Mu didn’t use his skills to sing. His singing, relying solely on his singing attribute points, was good, but nowhere near as striking as his first performance.

However, it didn’t matter, as the audience had basically identified him as Wu Mu at this point; even if he had sung worse, they simply assumed he was still hiding his abilities and trying to mislead them.

In the final voting session,

Wu Mu was identified and unmasked with 179 votes.

Looking at his dazzlingly handsome face revealed behind the screen, everyone couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow!"

...

Behind the scenes at the venue, the director of the programme, Sun Cheng, was enthusiastically shaking Wu Mu’s hand, "Teacher Wu Mu, your performance today was truly spectacular; thank you for your presence."

He was amazing, just too amazing!

With Wu Mu’s appearance in these three episodes, think about how much marketing costs they had saved, how much extra advertising revenue they had earned!

He really regretted now that he hadn’t invited Wu Mu to join the show earlier; if he had known Wu Mu could bring such a significant boost to their programme, he wouldn’t have cared about Star Electronics.

Star Electronics’ influence was mainly in the Yangtze River Delta region, and they could not control what happened in his Sha City, at least not officially.

"Teacher Wu Mu, when our station launches a new show in the future, we’ll definitely invite you," Sun Cheng was already looking forward to future collaborations with Wu Mu.

"Sure, contact me if you have a suitable programme."

Wu Mu had no objections; more shows meant more points, and his schedule was nowhere near full. The more programmes, the merrier.

After chatting with Sun Cheng, Wu Mu didn’t leave right away but decided to wait for Teacher Mo Mo to go together, as Mo Mo had sent a message saying they would go out to eat together later.
