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

The live stream room was deathly silent.

Pighead Bro slumped in his chair, staring blankly at the words "The End".

The screen was still flooded with crying face emojis in the comments.

This suffocating silence lasted for a full ten minutes.

Ding.

A crisp, special attention notification sound broke the silence.

Pighead Brother's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously looked up.

A new notification popped up in the bottom right corner of the screen from the official account of Healing Animation.

The title is only a few words long.

[A final gift for all viewers: Lucy's ending]

"Gift?"

Suddenly, a glimmer of light, like a dying ember, appeared in Pighead Bro's already swollen eyes.

Not only him, but millions of viewers across the internet who were still reeling from the shock were all stunned.

What does the gift mean?

Could there be a twist?

"I knew it! I knew that old scoundrel Su wouldn't dare to be so ruthless!"

Pighead hurriedly grabbed a new pair of spare headphones from the display case behind him.

His fingers trembled as he tapped the video, his voice hoarse but filled with ecstasy.

"Brothers! Look! There's still hope! There's definitely a revival round we can play in!"

You must stay alive!

Video buffering has ended.

The screen slowly lit up.

It was a deathly, grayish-white expanse.

That's the moon.

The landscape is filled with pitted and uneven meteorite craters, making this wasteland appear particularly desolate.

The camera zooms out, revealing a figure in a spacesuit walking alone across the wasteland.

It's Lucy.

She really went to the moon, just like she had dreamed.

Pighead held his breath, staring intently at the edge of the screen, hoping that David would jump out of some crater in the next second.

But there was nothing there.

Only Lucy's footsteps echoed in the deathly silence.

Just then, a light and cheerful intro with a retro electronic synthesizer feel suddenly cut in.

"I couldn't wait for you to come clear the cupboards....."

The music is upbeat and features a female singer with a slightly languid voice.

But the melody is clearly upbeat.

But to Pighead Bro, it felt as if something was tearing at his heart.

A wave of sorrow welled up in my heart.

In the scene, Lucy stopped walking.

She slowly removed her helmet, her long hair, as dazzling as the aurora borealis, swaying gently in the air.

She looked up at the blue planet above.

A beam of light suddenly shone on her face, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Suddenly, her pupils dilated slightly.

In her field of vision, amidst the blinding light, a figure appeared.

Instead, it was David, the boy with clear eyes.

He just stood there, hands in his pockets, giving Lucy a silly grin.

It's as if it's saying...

"Look, I've brought you here."

In that instant, Pighead felt his breath catch in his throat.

A sour liquid instantly rushed into my nasal cavity.

On the screen, Lucy slowly opened her arms.

She closed her eyes, a satisfied yet fragile smile on her face, and embraced the light.

The music reached its climax at this moment.

"I really want to stay at your house...."

However, at the very moment she embraced the boy...

The figure of the boy in the yellow jacket flickered, like a glitch in an old videotape.

Then, it disappeared completely.

Lucy clasped her arms together.

In my arms, there was only cold air.

She maintained the embracing posture, standing on the empty, desolate surface of the moon, her shadow stretched long and lonely.

The image freezes.

The upbeat background music continued, merrily playing in everyone's ears.

Pighead Bro was stunned.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but had no idea what to say.

That glimmer of hope, which had just begun to rise, was shattered to pieces by that gentle stroke.

The so-called gift is watching her achieve her dream, but forever losing the person who led her to that dream.

That boy is truly dead.

He died in that dark city of night.

"Ugh..."

Pighead suddenly clutched his chest and curled up.

He felt a tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, and tears streamed down his face silently like beads from a broken string.

It was unstoppable.

"Please stop playing it, please, please stop playing this song..."

Pighead Bro reached to turn off the video with trembling hands, but his hands were shaking so badly he couldn't even hold the mouse.

The chat room exploded at that moment.

[Su Bai! Are you a devil?! Kill me!]

I thought it was candy, but what did you feed me?! Why can't I stop crying?!

Even if you don't post anything, I can still convince myself that David is just missing. Why did you make me see this?

I can never listen to this song again in my life, really. I want to cry as soon as I hear the intro.

[Is this the cure you wanted? You old scoundrel, is your heart black?]

It hurts so much, it really hurts so much. The scene is so beautiful, why do I feel so uncomfortable?

at the same time.

Healing Animation Company.

Su Bai heard the system's notification sounds flooding his ears.

[Ding! Extremely strong depressive mood fluctuations detected!]

[Depression Value +9999!]

[Depression Value +9999!]

[Congratulations, host! You have achieved the achievement "Cyberpsychosis Initiator"!]

[Special Reward: The song "I Really Want to Stay at Your House" has become a causal weapon. Due to its immense emotional anchor, the host will continuously gain Depression Points every time this song is played!]

Shen Qingyue was sitting on the sofa, holding a tablet computer in her hand.

The screen shows Lucy embracing the air.

"Su Bai," Shen Qingyue cried, her voice trembling, "Are you even human?"

"How did you come up with this ending?"

"They were already in such a terrible state, why did they have to deliver this final blow? Didn't you see the comments? Someone said they need to go to the cardiology department!"

Su Bai turned around and looked at Shen Qingyue, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

He walked up to Shen Qingyue, took out a tissue, and handed it to her.

"Shen, the school beauty, you need to understand."

Su Bai's voice was warm and magnetic, yet it spoke the coldest truths.

"David's death is tragic. The audience will only be angry and will go to the game to kill Adam with a hammer to vent their anger. Once they've vented, it's over."

"But that final scene is the real art."

Su Bai pointed to the lonely figure on the screen.

"This is called a trauma response."

"I want them to suffer not only tonight, but every full moon night thereafter, so that every time they hear this damn melody, or even just see the word 'moon,' their hearts will involuntarily clench."

"Anger is fleeting, but regrettable."

Su Bai leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with fervent light as he looked into Shen Qingyue's eyes.

"It is eternal."

"This is the final piece of the puzzle for the Edge Walker to achieve godhood."

Shen Qingyue looked at the man in front of her and suddenly felt a chill.

At this moment, in her eyes, this man was a thousand times more despicable than Adam's hammer.

Just then, the operations department called.

Shen Qingyue sniffed and pressed the answer button.

The operations director's near-collapse roar came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Shen! Something terrible has happened! Storm Games is calling!"

"What happened?" Shen Qingyue's heart skipped a beat. "They want to terminate the contract? Or are they demanding compensation because of the negative comments?"

After all, the entire internet is hurling insults tonight, which seems to be a blow to the game's brand image.

"no!"

The operations director's voice became extremely strange, seemingly filled with incredulous shock.

"Just now, Cyberpunk 2088 broke its global online viewership record because of the ending video we released!"

"And almost all players are doing the same thing!"

Shen Qingyue was stunned.

"What is it?"

"They're all lining up to take pictures at the lunar launch site in the game! And some people are even playing that background music on repeat in the game!"

"Adam, the China regional manager for Storm Games, just called crying, saying that CEO Su is a god in the gaming world!"

Hearing the report over the phone, Shen Qingyue was completely stunned.

Does this work?

How can you revive a game after torturing people like this?

Has the world gone mad?

She mechanically turned her head to look at Su Bai.

Su Bai seemed to have anticipated all of this. He wasn't even surprised, calmly looking at the Spirited Away icon that had been unlocked on the system panel.
