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

Homura Akemi used her last bit of strength to raise her scarred hand and tightly grip the purple shield on her left arm.

Then, resolutely, he turned the edge of the shield!

"Buzz".

A faint, eerie ringing sound.

The whole world froze for a moment.

The Witch's Night stopped spinning, Kyubey's expression froze, and even the dust floating in the air seemed to hang suspended in mid-air.

The next second, time began to flow backward at an insane speed!

The flashes of the explosion rushed back into the cannon barrel.

The buildings that had been razed to the ground rose up from the ruins like bamboo shoots, restoring their original appearance.

The sky changed color from an ominous dark red to deep black, then faded from black to twilight, and finally turned into a dazzling daylight!

Hundreds of millions of viewers around the world stared blankly at the bizarre and fantastical scenes on the screen, their minds completely blank.

【？？？？？】

[Holy crap? What's going on?]

Is this a new attack from the witch?

[Is it stuck? Is the animation lagging?]

The barrage of comments was flooded with endless question marks.

No one can understand what is happening right now.

This frantic backflow lasted for more than ten seconds.

Finally, the screen abruptly paused, freezing on a scene that everyone was intimately familiar with.

A pink bedroom, sunlight streaming through the curtains onto the floor.

The girl on the bed turned over and turned off the jarring alarm clock.

Madoka Kaname!

It's the first episode, that very first morning!

Xiao Yuan woke up sleepily, brushed her teeth, tidied her tufts of hair in front of the mirror, bickered with her mother, and then hurriedly ran to school...

Every scene is exactly the same as the first episode, frame by frame.

At first, the audience was in shock and confusion.

But when they discovered it was a complete rerun of the first episode, their confusion quickly turned into overwhelming anger.

What's going on?! Did they broadcast the wrong program?!

[I took my pants off, and this is what you show me? A rerun of the first episode?]

Has Su Laozei run out of ideas? Replaying the animation when he can't beat the boss? What kind of idiotic move is this?!

[Refund! Bilibili refunds! The healing animation has gone out of business!]

The internet exploded instantly.

The rating for Puella Magi Madoka Magica plummeted from a 9.9 to 8 in just one minute, and it continues to drop at a visible rate.

Countless people flooded Su Bai's personal homepage, cursing this fraudulent animation producer with the most vicious language.

"Unfinished project", "running out of ideas", "the biggest broadcasting accident in history".

One label after another was harshly affixed to this work.

Amidst this outrageous uproar, the animated storyline unfolds at a leisurely pace.

In the classroom, the teacher announced that there was a new transfer student.

The audience had already begun to sneer, preparing to give the show a one-star review after they finished watching the farce.

Homura Akemi, a girl with long, straight black hair, walked into the classroom.

Everything is the same as in the first episode.

[Ha, again? You're actually quite the actor.]

[This is boring, I'm closing it.]

However, at that moment, the animation gave a close-up shot that surprised everyone.

The camera slowly zoomed in, focusing on Homura Akemi's cold face.

When her gaze swept across the classroom and finally landed on Madoka Kaname, many viewers in front of the screen froze.

Something is wrong!

That look is off!

That wasn't the curiosity of a transfer student arriving for the first time.

Deep within those purple eyes, a trace of pain and exhaustion almost overflowed from the screen.

It was a look that seemed to have witnessed countless changes of the world and carried endless sorrow and despair before it could finally settle down!

She spoke slowly and softly, her voice still icy.

"Little Round".

Just two words.

But this left countless viewers, who were about to type out a rant, frozen in mid-air.

This call carried a familiarity that seemed to have been uttered a thousand times, ingrained in one's very bones.

In the live stream, the flow of comments slowed down noticeably.

Wait a minute, don't you guys think that look in his eyes...?

[Holy crap, I'm getting goosebumps! Does she know Xiaoyuan?]

[That's impossible! This is only the first episode!]

The animation abruptly ended with Homura Akemi's cold, retreating figure.

There was no end credits song, no preview for the next episode; the screen went black, leaving only endless confusion and suspense.

On the internet, the raging anger mysteriously froze.

Everyone was stunned.

A mix of emotions plunged the entire internet into an unprecedented state of chaos.

Until ten minutes later.

An analysis post was forwarded by countless people and instantly became the top post on the forum.

The title of the post sent a chill down everyone's spine.

[A terrifying thought. What if this isn't the first time this has happened?]

The post was short, but every word was piercing.

[Everyone, are we all mistaken? This isn't a replay; it's the actual plot!]

Do you remember? How did Homura Akemi know so precisely what time and what dangerous place Madoka would go?

Why does she know so much about the characteristics and weaknesses of all the witches?

Why did she so desperately try to stop Madoka from becoming a magical girl, even saying things like, "You're too gentle, you're not suited for this"? It was as if she had foreseen this.

[And her mysteriously appearing and disappearing weapons! How could an ordinary girl possibly possess those things?]

We always thought she was a member of some organization, a detached bystander. But if...

What if she's experienced all of this before? And more than once?

At the end of the post, the poster typed out a conclusion that sent chills down everyone's spine.

That shield isn't a defensive weapon; it's a device for controlling time!

Homura Akemi is trapped in the cycle of reincarnation!

This conclusion made all the viewers realize the truth.

All the seemingly illogical plot points and all the foreshadowing that were overlooked.

The word "reincarnation" instantly forms a complete yet despairing chain of logic!

There was a near-silent silence online for almost half an hour.

This sparked a discussion that was more intense than ever before.

With endless shock and a chilling sense of dread upon closer examination!

Holy crap!

[My God, Su, you old scoundrel, just how big of a scheme did you set up?!]

[Reincarnation. I understand now, I understand everything! She kept going back to the past to save Madoka!]

So, the icy beauty we see is just the last vestige of her despair after countless repetitions of it?

On rating websites, works that dropped to 8 points began to rebound at an even more terrifying speed!

8.5! 9.0! 9.5! 9.9!

Finally, they broke through the 10-point limit!

Countless viewers who had previously angrily criticized Su Bai deleted their comments and, with trembling hands, typed the words "I worship this masterpiece."

It turns out it wasn't a broadcasting accident.

Su Bai uses a cycle of reincarnation, a narrative trick of unparalleled skill, to manipulate everyone at will.

Then it reveals a truth that is far grander, far lonelier, and far more despairing than death and witchhood.
