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

After the plastic memory ends.

For a whole week, the entire internet seemed to be shrouded in a huge dark cloud.

On social media platforms, countless people spontaneously organized memorial events for Ella.

Using her last smile as my profile picture, I played the ending theme song on repeat over and over again.

The comment section of this song has become the most popular place to leave messages in China.

Every second, new comments are refreshed.

Seven days have passed, and I still can't bring myself to watch the Ferris wheel scene again.

I named my vacuum cleaner Ella, and now I feel like crying every time it runs out of power.

[That old bastard Su! My wife asked me why I was kneeling on the balcony, smoking and crying. I said I missed Ella. She slapped me, then hugged me and cried with me!]

Sadness is contagious.

When hundreds of millions of people are simultaneously immersed in the same sorrow, it becomes a force powerful enough to shake reality.

Numerous psychologists made urgent appeals on television programs.

The public is reminded to be vigilant about the aftereffects of collective grief, and is advised to watch lighthearted and cheerful comedies to change their mood.

But nobody listened.

While cursing Su Bai for being heartless, the audience couldn't help but repeatedly savor every detail of the plastic memory.

Pain and happiness.

Just as this wave of depression sweeping the globe was about to reach its peak.

Healing Animation Company suddenly released a brief announcement on its official website.

We will be holding a press conference for our new work in three days.

The announcement only had a title; they didn't even bother to write any content.

But this short line of text stirred up a monstrous wave in the already turbulent sea of ​​public opinion.

The entire internet exploded instantly!

[What the hell? Ella's body is barely cold, and that old scoundrel Su is already releasing a new work?]

I get it! They're striking while the iron is hot, preparing to uproot us leeks!

[A new work? Heh, is it called Hell on Earth?]

Brothers, I'm telling you this: if that old scoundrel Su dares to utter the word "curative" again, I'm reserving ten collector's edition copies on the spot!

Amidst the overwhelming grief and anger, an even more twisted emotion began to emerge.

This is a morbid expectation.

They hated Su Bai for his ruthless and merciless killing.

But they also love Su Bai, and the characters and stories he created that are etched deep in their souls.

This love-hate relationship has made this upcoming press conference a focus of immense attention.

Everyone wants to know.

After personally creating the perfect tragedy of Ella.

What will Su Bai, this heartless and insane man, do with their tears next?

Three days passed in the blink of an eye amidst the agonizing wait of countless people.

On the day of the press conference, hundreds of millions of viewers around the world focused their attention on that small stage through various live streaming channels.

The stage setup was simple: a pure black background with the white logo of Healing Animation Company in the center.

When the time came, a figure slowly walked out from backstage.

It was Su Bai.

He was dressed in a well-tailored black suit today, his hair was neatly combed, and his face was expressionless.

Unlike the composure that carried a hint of mischievousness in the past.

Today, Su Bai exuded an unprecedented sense of heaviness and seriousness.

He walked to the center of the stage, without looking at the reporters in the audience or at the cameras.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the world, he bowed deeply to the audience.

The entire venue was completely silent.

The live stream chat paused for a brief moment.

Everyone was stunned by his sudden action.

Su Bai straightened up, picked up the microphone, and spoke in a low, hoarse voice.

"Before releasing my new work, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to all my viewers."

Apologize?

The reporters below the stage looked at each other in bewilderment, forgetting to press the shutter button on their cameras.

"From 'The Flower We Saw That Day,' to 'Your Lie in April'... and then to 'Plastic Memories,' which just ended."

Every time Su Bai uttered a name, a chorus of suppressed sobs rose from the audience.

"I've always believed that what I'm creating is works that heal the soul. I believe that by depicting those encounters and partings, I can help people feel the beauty of life."

His gaze swept across the entire room, his eyes filled with a profound sense of self-reflection.

"But now I realize I was wrong."

"What I called healing in the past was nothing but a kind of self-righteous cruelty. I made Menma disappear in the summer, made Kaori Miyazono leave in April... and made Isla lose her memory on the Ferris wheel."

"I made everyone cry time and time again, but I never truly gave them warmth."

He paused, took a deep breath, as if he had made a huge decision.

"In the past, I had no idea what true gentleness was."

First row below the stage.

Shen Qingyue sat there, her hands clasped tightly together.

Her face was pale, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

She looked at Su Bai on stage, whose expression was so sorrowful and whose tone was so sincere that it could be written into an acting textbook.

I feel like my worldview is being repeatedly crushed.

How could he say these words without batting an eye?

What does it mean to not understand gentleness?

There is no one in this world who knows better than you how to destroy the tenderness in someone's heart!

However, the performance on stage continued.

"Therefore, after deeply reflecting on the mistakes I made in the past, I decided to make a true work of atonement."

Su Bai's voice was resolute and full of unquestionable power.

Against the black background behind him, a title slowly appeared.

What will you be doing during the apocalypse? Will you be free? Can you come and save us?

"Look at the title of our new work, doesn't it sound lively and fun?"

"This new work will be my first purely idyllic, pastoral, and healing anime!"

"I will use this work to make up for the emotional trauma I have caused to all my viewers in the past."

"I will use this to prove that Healing Animation Studios can create true happiness!"

Su Bai raised his right hand, as if making an oath.

"I swear on the reputation of Healing Animation Company, after watching this animation, you'll only have a blissful, healed smile on your faces!"

"You will witness the birth of one of the happiest girls in the world."

The words fell.

Shen Qingyue, sitting in the audience, felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, her body swayed, and she almost slipped off her chair.

It’s over.

It's all over.

That was the only thought that remained in her mind.

He actually risked the company's reputation!

Did he know that just yesterday, he had finished reading the final storyboard of this so-called idyllic pastoral drama?

It's more than just blades.

That was practically an entire arsenal, with all sorts of weapons, enough to rip out the audience's tear ducts and hearts a hundred times over!

But at this moment, Su Bai on the stage had a compassionate and radiant expression on his face.

The press conference has ended.

Su Bai's figure disappeared backstage.

The entire internet experienced a massive surge.

[I cried, I really cried! That old scoundrel Su has finally realized his mistakes!]

I knew it! He must have a kind heart! He just used the wrong methods!

[Pastoral idyll! Warm and cozy everyday life! This is exactly what I need right now! Su Bai, I'm trusting you one last time!]

Are you guys stupid? This scam wouldn't even fool my grandma! The more sincere his expression, the brighter the knife he's wielding behind his back!

[A work of atonement? Let me translate: This knife is guaranteed to be sharper than the previous ones.]

[Gambling the company's reputation? Ha! What reputation does a company that started by selling razor blades have to offer? Nothing more than the reputation of being the king of depressing products!]

With this sense of anticipation, viewers argued fiercely on various forums and social media, and the flames of debate spread to every corner of the internet.

Within just ten minutes, two completely opposing topics, in an extremely bizarre manner, simultaneously surged to the top of the trending topics list.

#Old Su has reformed#

#I don't believe you#

One represents the innocence of choosing to believe even after being hurt.

One represents a deep-seated vigilance ingrained after being repeatedly deceived.

Every click and discussion on these two topics seems to inject unparalleled heat and anticipation into the yet-to-be-released work, "Three Questions for the End of the World".

Amid this heated debate, countless people frantically tagged the official account of Healing Animation Company, demanding the immediate release of a PV to verify its authenticity.

They'll see.

Has Su Bai brought the gospel of salvation this time, or is it just another elaborately packaged pilgrimage to hell?
