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

Since Su Bai made his declaration of a healing animation universe and a tribute of nine years and four months during a live broadcast on the financial channel.

The online attention to healing connections takes on a different meaning.

Viewers no longer see it merely as a lighthearted and funny short-form anime.

They tried to find every trace of Su Laozei in every frame and every corner.

Amidst this nationwide frenzy of puzzle-solving, Healing Connection released a new episode.

The theme of this episode is a summer festival, and all the characters have changed into cool yukatas and are having a grand bonfire party on the beach at night.

Okazaki Tomoya and Hinata Hideki were having a goldfish catching contest when they were defeated by Furukawa Nagisa and Yuri-chan using water guns.

Mami Tomoe and Homura Akemi were quietly setting off fireworks nearby. Mami had a cute dumpling on her head, which Nagisa had just given her.

Kaori Miyazono, holding Kousei Arima's hand, improvised a violin performance by the campfire. The cheerful music prompted Menma and the members of the SSS group to dance around the campfire.

The atmosphere was joyful and peaceful, and the comments section was filled with exclamations of how truly healing this was.

The audience was completely immersed in the grand summer celebration, temporarily forgetting their wariness of Su Bai's razor blade.

However, in that wide shot where all the characters are gathered together, raising their glasses in celebration, the camera quickly pans from left to right.

Some sharp-eyed viewers seemed to spot a figure that didn't belong in the party in the far right corner of the screen.

"Hmm? Did something just pass by?"

"It looks like a human figure?"

A few questions floated across the screen, but they were quickly drowned out by more cheerful comments.

That shot was so fast, less than 0.5 seconds, that it was so fast you thought it was your imagination.

The episode ended in such a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. As the ending theme played, the audience was satisfied and ready to welcome the next week.

However, just as the ending theme music ended and the screen was about to go black, the image lit up again.

A five-second post-credits scene appeared out of nowhere.

No characters appeared in the scene.

Only a pale hand gently circled a date on a calendar on the table with a red pen.

The lens was very blurry, but you could still vaguely see a string of blurry English words printed on the header of the calendar.

GIFTIA.

Immediately afterwards, a cold, electronic female voice, as if synthesized by a machine, slowly rose into the silent background.

"Remaining lifespan: 81920 hours."

As soon as he finished speaking, the screen went completely black.

......

At that moment, the entire internet seemed to be paused.

The smiles on the faces of the audience who were just marveling at the peaceful life suddenly froze.

They looked at each other, wondering if they were hallucinating.

81920 hours?

What does that mean?

After a brief silence, major anime forums and social media platforms exploded with activity!

"Holy crap! What the heck was that Easter egg at the end?!"

"That electronic voice gave me the creeps!"

"What is GIFTIA? A new character? And what's 81920 hours?!"

Countless posts sprang up like mushrooms after rain, and everyone was baffled by this sudden and bizarre Easter egg.

Just then, the eagle-eyed fans of the Bilibili anime section sprang into action.

They downloaded the episode they had just watched and began analyzing it frame by frame.

Soon, the first discovery was made!

In that wide-angle crane shot, when the footage is slowed down to 0.1x speed.

The fleeting figure was finally clearly revealed to everyone.

She was a silver-haired girl with red eyes.

She was also wearing a yukata, but she didn't participate in any activities. She just sat alone in a corner far from the campfire, quietly looking at her palms, her eyes filled with indescribable sorrow.

Her appearance was completely out of place with the joyous atmosphere of the entire celebration.

Who is she?

Why are you here?

Why is she so sad?

Questions followed one after another.

Following that, a tech expert performed voiceprint analysis and processing on the electronic sound in the post-credits scene, extracting the clearest audio.

When they converted 81920 hours into years, a chilling number emerged.

Nine years and four months.

This number is exactly the same as the hint Su Bai gave during his live broadcast on the financial channel!

The two clues were instantly connected!

That silver-haired girl! GIFTIA! 81920 hours to go!

An analysis post titled "Is the End of Carnival a Farewell? About the Countdown to Farewell Hidden in Healing Connections".

It was released in the early hours of the morning and instantly went viral online!

In the post, the original poster clearly listed all the clues and made a bold and chilling speculation.

"We've all been fooled by that old bastard Su! The Healing Connection isn't a celebration at all; it's a giant stage!"

"Su Bai brought all our favorite characters on stage for a celebration, just so we could witness, from the background, a new character's irreversible countdown to death begin the moment they appear!"

This conclusion sent chills down the spines of all the viewers.

The ambiguous hashtag #81920hours# has climbed to the top of the trending topics list on major social media platforms at an alarming speed.

At the end of the post, the original poster wrote his final summary of everything in bold.

"We thought this was a celebration, but Subaru may have told us from the beginning."

"Every encounter is already marked with a countdown to its end."

These words sent a chill down the spines of all the audience members who were immersed in the joy of the summer festival, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
