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

William did not sleep all night.

When the next morning arrived.

He kept his eyes open, staring straight at the ceiling.

And there was Chtholly's pale face, and that clumsy, heartbreaking lie.

It was deeply etched in his mind.

Those details are definitely not a joke.

William slowly sat up, his heart pounding heavily with unease.

He must know the answer.

But he did not seek an explanation from the military.

Those guys in uniforms are part of this irrational system themselves.

William didn't believe he could get a real answer from them.

His target was another manager in the warehouse.

Nigoran, a female demon, consumed the food of the demon race.

William had a strong intuition that she knew everything.

He walked through the quiet corridor; the girls' rooms were still quiet, with only the sound of even breathing.

This tranquility contrasted sharply with the complexity of his inner world.

William found her in Nigolan's cluttered office.

Nigolan was leaning back in her chair with her legs crossed and propped up on the table.

She wasn't surprised to see William come in; she simply raised her eyelids slightly.

"Can't sleep, new administrator?"

Her voice was hoarse, with a hint of amusement.

I need answers.

William got straight to the point, his gaze fixed intently on Nigolan's eyes.

"Everything about Chtholly, about the Fairy Warehouse."

Nigolan scrutinized the young man before her with her deep eyes, as if assessing whether he was qualified to touch the warehouse's most core secret.

A long silence fell over the office.

Until William couldn't help but ask again.

Nigolan slowly opened her mouth, uttering the first key word in a sympathetic tone.

"Golden Fairy."

She told William that the girls living in the warehouse were the only ones in the world who could activate the Relic Armor.

These are the ancient weapons known as holy swords, used to fight against the race of ground beasts.

William's heart sank.

"So, what that officer said was true?"

"Weapons? Consumables?"

Nigolan chuckled, a laugh devoid of malice, merely a calm statement of fact, which made it all the more cruel.

"That's right. They are indeed weapons, expendable resources. Every adult fairy must go to the battlefield."

She was explaining it not from a soldier's perspective, but from the perspective of a manager and a businesswoman.

"Every battle consumes their lives. This is the only value they were given from birth."

Its only value...

These words were so cold, they struck William's heart directly.

He remembered the girls' laughter and chatter, and their vibrant figures chasing butterflies in the sunlight.

Those vibrant lives, in the definition of this world, are merely defined by the word "value".

Nigolan stood up, her face grave, walked to the window, turned her back to William, and delivered the final, devastating blow.

"Ctholly is currently an adult fairy, which also means..."

She paused, her voice calm and utterly undisturbed.

"She's the one that gets used up the fastest on the shelf."

......

When Nigoran uttered this line in the animation, the comments section on Bilibili froze instantly.

If the officer's words earlier were merely a malicious provocation from the outside...

So, Nigolan is someone who usually takes care of the children, like a lazy patriarch.

Her personal confirmation extinguished the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of all the viewers.

After a brief period of deathly silence, a volcanic eruption followed.

[Holy crap! Even the other warehouse manager said that! It's over! There's absolutely no hope now!]

I initially thought that officer was a scumbag villain, but it turns out he was just stating the obvious?

"The one that's being consumed the fastest on the shelf. Is she even speaking human language?! How could she say that in such a calm tone?! I'll kill you, you old scoundrel Su!!"

[The sweeter it was before, the more heartbreaking it is now! I feel like I can't breathe! You old scoundrel Su, you've turned a home meant for raising a daughter into a damned slaughterhouse!]

[I get it. This isn't the fairies' home; it's an armory, and the fairies are just the ammunition they consume. You old scoundrel, Su, you have no heart!]

[Help! I really can't breathe, my heart is breaking. Crowdfunding for Didi Chuxing (a ride-hailing service) to raise enough money to find 10000 real-life victims of the treacherous Su Laozei (1/10,000)!]

Meanwhile, in the internal chat of the Find the Knife Alliance, the atmosphere was completely opposite—one of ecstatic joy.

"See! See!"

The group admin was sending a smug voice message in the group.

"I knew consumables were key information! And this time it came from an internal administrator, which proves the unshakeable nature of this setting!"

"Old Su never plays dirty tricks! He's just using gentleness as a prelude!"

The analysts at the Knife Finder Alliance worked at lightning speed, immediately starting to write new analysis posts and updating their Doomsday Three Questions Knife Prediction Table version 1.0.

They listed burning life force as the core setting as the first point, and marked the character Nigoran with a red circle as a key information NPC.

The post was immediately pushed to the top of the homepage by countless heartbroken viewers.

The reputation and professionalism of the Find the Knife Alliance reached their peak at this moment, and it has become a professional animation interpretation team.

Meanwhile, the major media outlets and content creators who had previously praised the three questions about the apocalypse as the best pastoral idyll of the year began updating their content overnight.

The well-known anime content creator, Lao Mao, has released a new video.

From pure romance to dark allegory, analyzing the dual oppression of the military and the merchant guild in three post-apocalyptic questions.

In the video, he angrily denounced Su Bai for playing a complete fraud and deceiving his pure feelings, while at the same time he couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of her script.

"Everyone, please note Nigolan's identity. She's not just a warehouse manager, but also a representative of the Chamber of Commerce! What does this mean?"

"This means that in the world created by that old scoundrel Su, fairy girls are not only military weapons, but also commodities with price tags!"

"Their lives can be quantified, their costs and benefits calculated! This is no longer a simple tragedy; it's a dark social allegory!"

The video garnered over a million views in just one hour.

Inside the office of Healing Animation Company.

Shen Qingyue covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief. She looked at Nigolan's calm face on the screen and felt a chill run down her spine.

"She practically watched those children grow up, how could she..."

"That's more like it."

Su Bai pointed at the screen, where William's face was contorted with shock and pain, revealing a devilish smile.

"A cold-blooded order from a distant officer is cruel. But the calm statement from a family member you live with day and night is despair."

He took a sip of tea and slowly admired Shen Qingyue's pale face.

"Now, the audience understands the first layer of tragedy, the inevitable fate of death."

"But they still clung to a sliver of hope, believing that the existence of the Golden Fairy was merely for the sake of sacrificing themselves for the world, a tragic sacrifice."

Su Bai's smile widened.

"Don't rush, this appetizer is just the beginning. The real story that will get philosophy professors writing papers is yet to come."

Before he could finish speaking, the cold system notification sounded in his mind again.

[Ding! A new wave of large-scale emotional fluctuations has been detected! Depression levels are rising rapidly!]
