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

"roar!"

That inhuman roar instantly shattered the tranquility of the amusement park.

Mizuki Tsukasa's nerves tensed up instantly.

Wanderer!

His blood seemed to rush to his head in an instant, and his muscles instinctively prepared for battle.

He turned around abruptly and looked at Ella beside him.

"senior!"

His words caught in his throat.

Ella remained standing still, unresponsive to the roar that was so close at hand.

Those once clear red eyes were now reflecting the cold outline of the Ferris wheel.

It was filled with fears that Mizugaki Tsukasa could not comprehend.

Her world seemed to consist only of that Ferris wheel.

"Ella!"

Tsukasa Mizugaki shouted anxiously, trying to wake her from some strange state.

But it was too late.

From the shadows, a massive figure suddenly leaped out.

It was a Giftia that had long since lost its human form.

Its body was twisted, with exposed metal bones and wires at its joints, and an electronic eye flashing a crazy red light.

It has completely lost its rationality, leaving only the most primal destructive instincts.

The wanderer, on all fours like a raging beast, charged straight at the two.

Mizugaki Tsukasa didn't have time to think and rolled away awkwardly to avoid the powerful attack.

"boom!"

The Wanderer's metal claws slammed down on the spot where he had just been standing.

The cement floor cracked instantly, and gravel flew everywhere.

Mizuki Tsukasa's heart was pounding wildly.

The power and speed of this thing far exceeded any data he had seen in the manual.

"Ella! Wake up!"

As he dodged, he desperately called out his partner's name.

However, Ella remained motionless.

The shouts of Mizugaki Tsukasa, the roars of the wanderers, the sound of metal colliding with the ground.

All of this became distant and indistinct background noise.

In her world, only that Ferris wheel remained.

And in my ears, a desperate scream that kept repeating itself, belonging to someone else.

"No! Stop it!"

That was Senior Xiangyue's voice.

......

Meanwhile, in the CEO's office of Eternal Technology.

Lei Ming watched the live broadcast on the screen with great interest.

The chaotic battle scene, in his eyes, resembled a meticulously choreographed drama.

"interesting."

He picked up his coffee, took a small sip, and a playful smile curved his lips.

"A Giftia partner who drops out at crucial moments is much more interesting than just fighting."

The head of the data team behind him had beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Boss, according to our model analysis, the number of real-time online users of Plastic Memory has once again experienced explosive growth due to this sudden battle and suspense."

"Is it appropriate to release our prepared press release highlighting conflicting values ​​now?"

Lei Ming's gaze was fixed on the motionless silver-haired girl in the picture.

Like a seasoned hunter, he accurately sensed a new ambush point.

"No, the plan has been changed."

He raised his hand and made a light sweeping motion in the air.

"Values? That's too abstract."

Lei Ming's eyes turned cold and sharp, filled with the shrewdness of a businessman.

"The audience is foolish; they only believe what they see. And what have they seen?"

He pointed at Ella on the screen, his voice carrying an undisguised contempt.

"They saw a defective product."

"A partner who will put you to death when you need it most."

"This is the most deadly fear!"

He turned around and gave new instructions to the team.

"Forget all the hype about eternity, we sell security!"

"Immediately draft new public relations materials, and approach the issue from this angle!"

"I've already thought of a title."

A cruel smile spread across Lei Ming's lips.

"When your Giftia partner becomes your biggest security threat."

"Once the male protagonist is killed by this defective product, we'll push this article to every corner of the internet."

......

The battle continues in the amusement park.

Mizugaki Tsukasa's situation is becoming increasingly difficult.

He could only rely on his agile movement to barely keep up with the loitering men.

The restraint gun in his hand couldn't find a suitable time to fire.

He knew very well that without Ella's restraint, it was only a matter of time before he was hit on his own.

After yet another embarrassing dodge, the wanderer seemed to lose patience.

It abandoned its pursuit of Mizugaki Tsukasa and instead focused its single, red-glowing eye on a more easily attainable target that had remained motionless throughout.

Ella!

"not good!"

Mizuki Tsukasa's pupils suddenly contracted.

Almost instinctively, he abandoned the search for cover and charged at the wanderer from the side, trying to draw its attention back.

"Your opponent is me!"

He roared.

At this moment, he was no longer the rookie who needed protection.

Instead, he wanted to protect his partner, a true observer.

Perhaps it was his shouting that had an effect.

Perhaps it was that line, "Your opponent is me," that touched upon a deeply buried keyword.

Ella's body finally showed a slight reaction.

She slowly raised the virus injection gun in her hand.

The cold, metallic touch brought a moment of clarity to her chaotic thoughts.

Her gaze refocused.

She saw the frantic wanderer charging towards her.

Her aim was firmly locked onto it.

The combatants' instincts began to overwhelm the fear that came from the depths of their souls.

shot.

Once you pull the trigger, it will all be over.

however.

Just as her gaze passed through the figures of the wanderers and landed once again on the giant Ferris wheel.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, exploding in her mind.

The whole world was instantly stained blood red.

Fragments of long-forgotten memories flooded her mind.

three years ago.

Perform a retrieval mission for the wanderers.

In order to protect herself, who was still a rookie at the time, Kazuki-senpai was cornered by the Wanderer.

I could have ended the battle much faster back then.

But I hesitated.

"Fire! Ella! Fire now!"

Xiangyue used all her strength to let out a roar.

And he himself, trembling, raised the gun.

The crosshair swayed desperately between Kaori and that former companion.

Finally, she closed her eyes.

He pulled the trigger.

The scorching recoil slammed against her small shoulders.

The deafening gunshots and Xiangyue's heart-wrenching cries after being rescued.

It constituted a persistent nightmare throughout her adolescence.

That hesitation resulted in Senior Kazuki injuring her leg.

......

In reality, only one second passed.

But for Ella, it felt like she had lived another life.

That momentary lapse in concentration was fatal.

The wanderer keenly noticed this slight hesitation.

It abandoned Ella and turned around abruptly.

With its massive body, it rammed into the foolish human who had completely exposed himself in order to protect his companions.

"Bang!"

A dull, loud bang.

The immense force caused the weapon in Mizugaki Tsukasa's hand to fly out instantly and disappear into the darkness in the distance.

He was violently knocked away.

His body crashed onto the carousel that had long since stopped running.

Then, it slid helplessly to the ground.

Not moving at all.

This was a violent impact.

To completely wake Ella from the mire of her memories.

She turned her head stiffly.

I saw the figure lying in a pool of blood.

Ella's pupils contracted sharply.
