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

The world seemed to have been muted.

The roars of the wanderers and the howling of the night wind vanished in that instant.

All of Ella's memories of screams and fears from three years ago, and of the painful recollections of Kaori-senpai, were completely overwhelmed by an even stronger emotion.

Guilt.

And anger.

The boy who always smiled foolishly at her.

The clumsy boy watering her herbs.

The boy who was overjoyed simply because she changed her reason after being rejected.

At this moment, he lies there silently.

To protect this useless self that crashed at the most critical moment.

Ella slowly straightened up.

The mental shackles that had always supported and bound her broke inch by inch at this moment.

A chilling killing intent ignited in her somewhat bewildered red eyes.

At the healing animation company.

Su Bai looked at Ella's suddenly changed expression on the screen and calmly explained to Shen Qingyue, whose heart was clenching beside him.

"This is a process of emotional exchange."

"Using a new, more intense trauma to cover up an old one. It's cruel, but for Ella at this moment, it's the only way to help her stand up again."

After the moment of silence following Mizuki Tsukasa's devastating defeat, the chat in the live stream room erupted in a frenzy.

The audience's emotions shifted at an unprecedented speed from extreme grief to a desire for revenge.

Ella's eyes have changed!

[This aura... Is this really the Ella I know who tripped and fell flat on her face?]

[Such a powerful killing intent! This is definitely not an illusion!]

In the amusement park, the Wanderer dealt with the troublesome human and once again locked its single, red-glowing eye onto Ella, who remained motionless.

In its already chaotic logic, this target remains an easily destroyed puppet.

"roar!"

With a burst of power from its limbs, its massive body transformed into a black afterimage, bringing with it a fierce wind that tore through the air, as it pounced once more.

But this time, it was no longer facing a puppet to be slaughtered at will.

Ella moved.

Her movements were as fast as lightning.

With just a simple sidestep, the powerful pounce of the wanderer missed its target by a hair's breadth.

Every movement she made was filled with a calmness that surpassed human limits, making her completely different from the clumsy girl who used to stumble and fall while walking.

She stopped running away.

No more retreating.

In the instant she dodged the attack, she moved forward, her petite figure weaving through the abandoned carousel, actively facing the raging beast.

Using the complex obstacles, she maneuvered rapidly around the loitering man, calmly analyzing his every move.

That was no longer a battle.

It was not an elegant or frivolous performance.

"not enough!"

In the studio, Su Bai looked at the screen and spoke softly to the air.

"Simply dodging isn't enough!"

He clenched his fist, as if cheering on the character he was creating.

"What the audience needs is a satisfying, overwhelming victory! They need to see Ella's power to release the frustration of Si being severely injured!"

Meanwhile, Yongheng Technology's public relations department, following Lei Ming's instructions, had already pushed the meticulously crafted article across the entire internet.

When your robot partner becomes your biggest safety hazard

Countless uninformed online trolls and incited bystanders began attacking the healing animation on various social media platforms.

See? This is what they call a robot with feelings—a ticking time bomb in a critical moment!

[This male protagonist is such a saint, risking his life for a robot!]

[Eternal Technology is right, data immortality is the safest option; data with emotional attachments is too dangerous!]

The theory that thunder poses a safety hazard quickly gained traction online.

He seemed to see the dawn of victory.

However, little did he know that a truly humiliating reversal was unfolding in the amusement park.

After a series of fluid evasive maneuvers, Ella found an excellent opportunity.

The wanderer missed again; the immense inertia caused it to lose its balance, revealing a vulnerability for a fraction of a second.

It's now!

Ella's figure glided along the ground like a swallow, instantly sliding beneath the massive body of the Wanderer.

The virus injection gun in her hand, at an incredible angle, pierced the wanderer's nape from bottom to top.

No hesitation.

Ella's face was absolutely cold.

She pressed the injection button indifferently.

"Buzz".

The wanderer's massive body stiffened instantly.

The red light in its eyes flickered wildly a few times before finally fading completely.

"boom!"

The enormous metal structure crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

It reverted to its ordinary, cold robot form.

The battle is over.

From the moment Ella awoke to the end of the battle, the entire process took no more than thirty seconds.

At this moment, the live stream chat exploded with an unprecedented surge of comments.

Holy crap!

[So cool!!! This is freaking incredibly cool!]

[Is this the power of an ace recycler?! This combat power is absolutely explosive!]

[Whoever just called Ella a safety hazard, come out here! Does your face hurt?!]

[Was that fall on flat ground just a facade? Is this the real her?! I've fallen in love with this woman!]

The anger, frustration, and grief over Mizugaki Tsukasa's serious injury that had been building up in the hearts of all the viewers were released in Isla's perfect and swift victory.

They experienced the most exhilarating release.

Countless viewers spontaneously captured GIFs of Ella instantly defeating the Wanderer.

They flooded Yongheng Technology's official Weibo account, as well as the comment sections of all the marketing accounts that had published that smear article.

They used that incredibly cool GIF to flood everyone's feeds.

It was accompanied by a simple yet sarcastic caption.

"You call that a safety hazard?"

Inside the back-end data monitoring room.

Su Bai looked at the data curve and smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that this strategy of first suppressing and then elevating had achieved unprecedented success.

The battle is over.

The icy killing intent on Ella's face melted instantly when she saw Mizugaki Tsukasa lying in a pool of blood not far away.

Instead, there was overwhelming panic and self-blame.

The ace recycler's power vanished without a trace at this moment.

She reverted to being that clumsy, clueless girl.

Ella staggered, almost tumbling and crawling, to Mizugaki Tsukasa's side.

She trembled, wanting to help him up, but afraid of touching his wound.

Tears streamed uncontrollably down her red eyes.

"sorry."

She kept repeating herself incoherently.

"The thrill of the battle is over, but the emotional ordeal has only just begun."

Su Bai whispered to Shen Qingyue beside him.

"Si's injuries, Ella's guilt, and her buried past—all of these must be thoroughly dealt with in the hospital setting."

"That will also be the time for us to give our final response to the claims of safety hazards related to thunder."

on the screen.

In the empty, abandoned amusement park, the giant Ferris wheel silently watches over everything.

The silver-haired girl held the boy, whose life was uncertain, in her arms and cried helplessly under the cold moonlight.
