Entertainment: You're asked to make a healing animation, but it will make the whole internet de

It was a sleepless night.

Major anime and manga forums and social media platforms were flooded with urgent, bright red posts overnight.

Has anyone looked up what plastic memory means? The combination of these words gives me a sense of helplessness, a feeling that it could be erased at any moment.

I zoomed in on that poster of the silver-haired girl and stared at it for a full half hour. Her eyes weren't filled with sorrow or anger, but with an emptiness that came from seeing the end.

Don't forget that countdown to 81920! That old fox Su said on the financial channel that it was a gift to time. I'm so panicked I can't sleep!

The fans, like a flock of lambs smelling blood, huddled together for warmth online.

Faced with a new work that has not yet been broadcast and is only shown in a poster, they erupted in an unprecedented collective panic.

Because the most frightening thing is the unknown knife.

the next day.

Millions of eyes are glued to the official Weibo account and homepage of the healing animation.

The screen refreshed, and a new update with a long image popped up right on time.

There was no fluff; it was clearly stated in the post.

[Worldview Revealed]

The audience swallowed hard and clicked on the high-resolution long image.

The first part that catches the eye has a strong futuristic and sci-fi feel.

Giftia: A new generation of highly intelligent bionic robot developed by SAI Corporation.

The accompanying image shows several Giftias with different appearances and warm smiles, drinking tea, playing, and even caring for babies with humans.

Next to it is a text description.

They are more than just machines; they possess a personality operating system that perfectly simulates human emotions. They cry, they laugh, they understand your sadness, and they remember every moment you spent together. They are your family.

Seeing this, many viewers breathed a sigh of relief.

So it was originally an AI with human emotions?

This isn't uncommon in science fiction, and it actually sounds quite heartwarming.

However, when you swipe down, the long image enters its second part.

The originally warm and inviting background suddenly turned into a depressing blood red.

In the very center of the page, a string of glaring white numbers appeared.

【81920】.

This mysterious code, which had tormented the entire internet for months, has finally revealed its menacing true nature at this moment.

Below the numbers are three lines of bold small text.

However, all good things have an end.

Due to current technological limitations, Giftia's personality OS system has an extremely strict lifespan limit.

This timeframe is 81920 hours, approximately 9 years and 4 months.

Countless viewers who witnessed this scene held their breath.

A strong chill ran straight to the back of my head.

9 years and 4 months?

Bringing home a family member who cries and laughs, who shares memories with you, only to tell you that her shelf life is only nine years?!

But that's not the cruelest part.

Continue scrolling down the long image.

[If the system fails to reclaim her after the 81920-hour deadline, Giftia's personality will completely collapse, she will lose all memories and sanity, and transform into a monster driven only by destructive instincts. The Wanderer.]

The accompanying image shows a Giftia with originally delicate features, whose eyes are flashing with a violent red light, gripping a human by the neck, surrounded by a sea of ​​fire.

To prevent tragedies from occurring, SAI Corporation established a dedicated terminal service department.

The last part of the long image is a portrait of two characters.

A boy with short brown hair and clear eyes stood beside the silver-haired, red-eyed girl from the poster.

Caption.

[Tsukasa Mizugaki, a new recycling clerk in the terminal service department. His daily work involves going to the homes of those who consider Giftia their closest relatives and, at the last minute before the deadline, personally shutting down their systems and forcibly recycling them.]

The girl named Ella standing before him was his partner, with whom he would spend every day.

The long image ends here.

It's as if the internet has been put on pause.

A full three minutes passed, and not a single new comment appeared.

Everyone was horrified by this inhumane premise.

Subsequently, the comment sections of major platforms exploded.

[Holy crap, you old bastard Su! Is this science fiction? This is pure horror!]

[Is it possible for a carbon-based life form to come up with the idea of ​​stuffing a sentient being into a body with only nine years left to live?]

[You call this animation?! Everyone else hides their daggers, but you just built a guillotine in the square and hung a giant countdown clock next to it for everyone to see, huh?!]

Many quick-thinking viewers immediately pieced together these clues and the title, arriving at a dizzying and desperate conjecture.

Wait, guys. The male lead is a recycler who tears apart people's families. What about that silver-haired girl, Ella?

[Don't forget the official statement: Ella is also a Giftia! And her eyes look so lonely in the poster!]

This means that Ella's lifespan may be running out! And the male protagonist, that damned recycler, might end up signing the recycling agreement himself, personally eliminating his partner whom he's worked with day and night?

The moment this logical loop was clarified on various forums.

The cries of anguish filled the entire anime and manga community.

In the past, with healing anime, viewers could at least hold onto a sliver of false hope, hoping that the protagonist could defy fate and that a miracle would occur.

But plastic memory is different.

Su Bai simply blocked all the channels of hope with cement!

The established facts are laid out in black and white.

When their lifespan is up, if they are not recycled, they will turn into monsters and kill people.

These are the rules, the ironclad laws.

This is a dead end with the cards upside down!

Inside the Healing Animation Company.

Shen Qingyue looked at the discussion data in the background that was exponentially increasing, and a trace of reluctance appeared in her eyes.

She turned her chair around and looked at Su Bai, who was sitting behind the large desk.

"Wasn't that a bit too harsh?"

Shen Qingyue spoke in a very low voice.

"You didn't even give them a moment to breathe. Before the first episode of the work had even aired, you sentenced everyone to a suspended death sentence. I just checked the forums, and some people have already cried because of the premise."

Su Bai tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a crisp tapping sound.

His gaze fell on the black and white poster of Ella, his eyes deep.

"Qingyue, do you know what the greatest illusion humanity has ever had?"

Su Bai didn't wait for her answer and spoke softly.

"It's because I feel that tomorrow will always arrive as scheduled."

"Only when the guillotine called death is clearly suspended above their heads, and they hear the ticking of its gears turning, will they stop their reckless squandering and truly open their eyes."

"Go and feel the warmth of that moment when you embrace."

Su Bai turned around, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"I want to tell them that no encounter is ever a given. It is because there is an end that every second of this journey becomes all the more precious."

Shen Qingyue listened to these remarks and remained silent for a long time.

She knew that no matter how much the outside world cursed or resisted her.

The moment the play button for tomorrow's plastic memory PV is pressed.

Everyone would be drawn into the execution ground that Su Bai had meticulously constructed.
