Entertainment: You're asked to make a healing animation, but it will make the whole internet de
Chapter 44 Tears That Drowned the World
"Director! We can't hold on any longer! Server 1 has crashed!"
"Number 2! Number 2 is popular too!"
"Our backend traffic has exploded! Our bandwidth was overwhelmed instantly!"
Inside Weibo's technical department, alarms sounded incessantly, like a death knell.
Technical Director Tian Jia's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at the flow curve on the screen that had directly pierced through the estimated peak, and the veins on the back of his hand, which was gripping his hair, bulged out.
"Damn it! These people watch anime and instead of sleeping, they come here to spam the comments, huh?!"
He roared at the top of his lungs.
"Commenting is fine! But why are so many people uploading videos at the same time?!"
A young technician wearing glasses, his face pale, pointed at a data distribution screen, his voice trembling.
"Director! They're all uploading videos of themselves crying, and they've even started an 'April Man's Tears Challenge'!"
"What?!"
Tian Jia snatched the mouse and opened the Weibo trending topics list monitored in the background.
The sea of scarlet "explosion" characters was like a series of resounding slaps, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
#Your Lie in April Ending# [Breaking News]
#Su Laozhe is a heartless scoundrel# [Breaking News]
#No regrets entering April in this life, wishing to be friend A in the next# [Breaking News]
#KaoriMiyazono# [Breaking News]
#AprilMachoMenTearsChallenge# [Boiling Point]
Behind every single entry is a massive surge of online traffic built by the tears of hundreds of millions of viewers.
At this moment, the entire internet seemed to have been ripped open in the most cruel way by the anime called "Your Lie in April."
What gushed out from that opening was an ocean of tears that engulfed everything!
Open any social media platform, and the homepage recommendations are all faces that are distorted from crying.
A muscular man buried himself in the blankets, his shoulders twitching violently.
A cute girl cried so hard her makeup was ruined, and while sobbing, she cursed Su Laozei (a derogatory term for a man who is heartless) in front of the camera.
Countless content creators started live streaming overnight, with surprisingly consistent titles: "Cry with me for a while."
Wang Kai's live stream became the center of this online grief.
His face, covered in tears and snot, was turned into various memes.
He previously made a bold statement in his live stream: if someone cried as they left the live stream, he would do a handstand to wash his hair.
It was edited into countless segments.
The meme "Kai Wang, don't cry, wash your hair upside down first" has spread across the internet.
Countless people wept bitterly over the ending of the animation, while simultaneously flooding into Wang Kai's live stream, laughing out loud at his breakdown.
Sadness, anger, shock, and the absurdity of being deceived.
Together, they constituted this unique night in April.
Technical Director Tian Jia slumped helplessly in his chair, staring at the red alerts popping up on the screen, muttering to himself.
"I'm just an employee, why should I have to endure this?"
He felt an unprecedented career crisis.
Because he knew that tomorrow morning, he would have to write a tens of thousands of words report on this unprecedented server crash.
At the beginning of the report, he could only write a name.
Su Bai.
……
Healing Animation Co., Ltd.
Unlike the devastating noise outside, the office area was eerily silent.
The crying had long since stopped, leaving only suppressed sobs and heavy breathing.
All the employees remained in the same position they were in when the animation ended, as if their souls had been ripped out, completely still.
Shen Qingyue leaned against the corner of the wall, her red and swollen eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.
Her phone screen was still lit up, displaying the company account's backend data.
The pre-sale link for surrounding areas saw sales exceeding 100 million yuan within three minutes of going live.
On digital music platforms, the Linxi instrumental version of "The Sorrow of Love" surpassed 10 million paid downloads in just ten minutes.
Every single data point is breaking historical records for the entire industry!
These cold, hard numbers should have been her most fervent pursuit as the vice president.
But now, looking at these numbers, she felt no joy whatsoever.
She slowly turned her head and looked at the man standing alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Su Bai.
He didn't look at the data that would drive any of his peers mad with envy, nor did he pay any attention to the room full of corpses.
He simply gazed quietly at the city's nightscape outside the window, as if the storm of tears that had just swept the world had nothing to do with him.
Lin Xi also stood up. She walked to a short distance behind Su Bai. This aloof girl's eyes were now filled with unprecedentedly complex emotions.
It evokes awe and reverence.
She spoke softly, her voice slightly hoarse.
"I see."
Su Bai did not turn around.
Lin Xi continued.
"Because of Kaori Miyazono's appearance, Kousei Arima's world changed from black and white to color. Even if she leaves, those colors will not fade."
"It is precisely because the ending is destined to be withering that the process of blooming is all the more dazzling. You used the most extreme sorrow to make everyone remember that most extreme beauty."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
The employees, who were originally immersed in grief, were all jolted upon hearing these words.
They suddenly looked up at Su Bai, their expressions instantly changing.
Yes!
If the ending hadn't been so heartbreaking, how could they have remembered that girl who was like the sun so vividly?
Remember that line from Friend A.
Do you remember that April when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom?
Is this Su Bai's real purpose?
Let's use the tears of the whole world to hold the grandest funeral for that girl, so that she can live forever in everyone's memory.
In an instant, the emotions of everyone in the office shifted from simple sadness to a profound and escalating state.
They looked at Su Bai's back with eyes that seemed to be looking up at an insurmountable mountain!
This man isn't making animation at all!
He is manipulating the emotions of the whole world in an unbelievable way!
Shen Qingyue covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes again, but this time, they were not tears of sadness, but tears of shock from being overwhelmed by the immense shock!
She finally understood.
Su Bai's healing power was never meant for the audience.
It's for the characters in the work!
And these spectators were merely fuel that Su Bai used to complete this healing process.
