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

The car sped through the night.

Mizuki Tsukasa's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Senior Xiangyue's warning echoed repeatedly in his mind.

"Keep an eye on Ella, don't let her do anything foolish!"

He couldn't help but glance at the silver-haired girl beside him in the rearview mirror.

Ella sat quietly in the passenger seat.

She wasn't fiddling with her work terminal as usual.

She simply gazed at the dark night rushing past the window.

In those red eyes that always seemed somewhat empty, there was a melancholy that Mizuki Tsukasa had never seen before.

It was as if her soul had already been extracted from her body beforehand.

"senior."

Mizuki Tsukasa tried to break the suffocating silence, her voice somewhat hoarse.

Have you been to this mission location before?

Ella's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

She didn't turn her head, but answered him in a voice that was almost a whisper.

"I don't remember."

Mizuki Tsukasa's heart sank suddenly.

He could clearly sense it.

What lies hidden behind these words is not polite distance, but a tremendous fear that even she herself wants to escape.

We arrived at our destination quickly.

It was a huge, rusty iron gate.

Above the iron gate is a mascot head wearing a clown hat, most of the paint of which has already peeled off.

One of its eyes had fallen out, leaving a dark, gaping hole.

The other eye, illuminated by the car headlights, reflected an eerie light.

It seemed to be silently watching the two uninvited guests who arrived late at night.

The iron gate was not locked.

As Mizuki Tsukasa opened the car door, a strong premonition sent a chill down his spine.

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Kingdom's online live broadcast room, the atmosphere was instantly ignited to its peak.

When the camera followed Tsukasa Mizugaki's perspective and focused on the rusty door, the comments section exploded.

It's here! It's here! It's the amusement park!

[Don't get excited, what's going on? Is there anything special about this dump?]

[New here? Go back and watch the PV! Ella's most heartbreaking scene is set against the backdrop of this amusement park's Ferris wheel!]

[Holy crap! A pilgrimage to the holy land! The big one is coming! That old scoundrel Su is finally about to make his move!]

[Katsuki-senpai's warning, Ella's silence, and this ominous location—it gave me goosebumps all over!]

[The storm is brewing! I can already foresee how heart-wrenching the upcoming plot will be! I'm ready! Bring it on, you old scoundrel Su!]

At the healing animation company.

Shen Qingyue stared at the eerie clown image on the screen, her heart clenching uncontrollably.

She instinctively grabbed Su Bai's sleeve, her voice trembling slightly.

"Does it have to be here?"

"This is too cruel for Ella."

Su Bai didn't look at her; his gaze calmly fell on the screen, watching the steeply rising curve of the number of people online in real time.

"Shen, the school beauty, you must remember this."

He spoke slowly, his voice carrying the calmness and confidence of a creator.

"The audience's emotions are like a reservoir."

"If you want the flood peak to be as high as it will be later, you must now bring it to a low enough depression."

In the anime, Tsukasa Mizugaki and Isla have entered the abandoned amusement park.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, which rustled underfoot.

A carousel was parked not far away, and the eyes of the horses gleamed eerily in the darkness, as if they might come to life at any moment.

The wind blew by, and the swing set next to it made a strange creaking sound.

It's like someone is sitting on it, gently rocking.

Tsukasa Mizugaki gripped the sensor tightly in his hand, scanning his surroundings warily.

But he soon discovered that what made him more uneasy than the wanderers who might be lurking in the shadows was Ella beside him.

She walked very slowly.

Every step felt like dragging a thousand-pound shackle.

Just as the two of them turned a corner.

Ella stopped walking without warning.

Mizuki Tsukasa turned around in confusion.

I followed her gaze.

A colossal Ferris wheel stands silently beneath the night sky.

It had long since stopped turning.

Half hidden in darkness, half illuminated by moonlight, it reveals a cold and lonely silhouette.

Mizugaki Tsukasa's heart skipped a beat.

He saw Ella's body, and the moment he saw the Ferris wheel, it froze.

The camera gave Ella a close-up.

Her lips had lost all color, and the huge silhouette of the Ferris wheel was reflected in her red eyes.

Fear welled up from the depths of her eyes.

Her fingertips began to tremble uncontrollably and violently.

It felt as if, at any moment, the world would crumble in the face of this immense fear.

This scene was clearly presented to all viewers through the live broadcast.

The comments section fell silent for a moment.

Then came an even more frenzied surge.

[Oh my god! Ella's expression! My heart is broken!]

What exactly did she go through here to deserve such a look of terror, more terrifying than seeing death itself?

[You old scoundrel Su, have some decency! Stop torturing her!]

Eternal Technology, CEO's Office.

Lei Ming was watching the images on the holographic projection with great interest.

The head of the data team stood to the side, nervously giving a report.

"CEO, just now, the number of viewers watching Plastic Memory online has surpassed the peak predicted by our system, and it's still growing!"

"Should the threat level be raised again?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Lei Ming's mouth.

His gaze was fixed intently on Ella's trembling fingertips.

He wasn't seeing the suffering of an animated character.

What he saw was a commercial attack point that could be magnified infinitely.

"Need not."

Lei Ming raised his hand, his tone sharp as a falcon's.

"Su Bai certainly didn't disappoint me; he personally presented us with a great gift."

"Notify the PR team to prepare a press release immediately."

"The animation is used to promote our product."

"Once this episode airs, send me the script to be distributed across the entire internet."

"I want every viewer who sheds tears for Ella to see that our products can give them a sense of security."

A confident glint shone in Lei Ming's eyes.

He could almost see the emotional tower that Su Bai had painstakingly built crumble under his offensive.

At the amusement park.

"Senior? Ella?"

Seeing Ella's distraught state, Tsukasa Mizugaki's unease reached its peak.

He reached out, wanting to pat her on the shoulder.

But just then...

"roar!"

A roar that didn't sound like a human's broke the silence of the night.

The sound originated from the shadow of the Ferris wheel.

Mizuki Tsukasa's expression changed drastically in an instant.

Wanderer!

He turned around abruptly and looked at Ella beside him.

But she remained standing there, completely oblivious to the danger that was right in front of her.

It was as if her entire world consisted only of that silent Ferris wheel.
