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

Just when the entire internet was still feeling goosebumps over the previous PV.

The official Weibo account of the healing animation posted another update without warning at 11 p.m.

[Spirited Away Character Special: The Lonely Monster]

The cover image is a screenshot that exudes a strong sense of atmosphere.

On the red bridge in the night rain, stood a blurry figure, entirely in black and wearing a white mask.

He had no facial features, just a lonely shadow, as if he might disappear into the darkness behind him at any moment.

Wang Zhongjun's publicity team has just finished an emergency meeting and is preparing to launch a new round of counterattacks.

Upon seeing this post, the person in charge scoffed.

"Have they run out of ideas? A character-themed special? What kind of tricks can a monster without even a face possibly pull?"

"Ignore them, they won't make a fuss. Continue with the original plan and focus fire on their anxiety-mongering!"

Countless night owls surfing the internet, with the same thought in mind, curiously clicked on the video.

The video begins with only the sound of pattering rain and a few lonely piano key notes.

The shadowy figure known as No-Face stood out starkly against the bright lights of the bathhouse.

He wanted to go in, but was blocked outside by an invisible barrier.

Until the kind-hearted Chihiro left a door open for him.

He went inside, like a ghost, silently following behind Chihiro.

He saw the clamor and greed of this world, where everyone was eager for gold.

So he clumsily learned how to conjure gold.

He held out his hands full of gold to Chihiro, uttering indistinct syllables.

He thought she would like it.

But Chihiro refused.

At that moment, the faceless man holding the gold froze on the spot.

The background piano music now features a discordant falling key, sending a shiver down your spine.

The comments section is still sparse.

What does this monster want to do?

Why does it feel a little pitiful...?

After being rejected, No-Face began to gorge himself.

He devoured the food, and he also devoured the frog that had served him.

His body became bloated, huge, and ugly.

He conjured up even more gold, and the gods in the oil room fawned over him like madmen.

He became the center of attention, but beneath his white mask came a painful and hollow roar.

The scene changes.

Qian found him and fed him a dumpling from the river god.

The faceless man began to vomit violently, expelling all the filth he had swallowed, and his body returned to its original slender black form.

At the end of the video, he sits quietly in the sea train, accompanying Chihiro to an unknown place.

Outside the window was an endless expanse of deep blue; the world was so quiet that only they remained.

black screen.

A line of white text slowly appeared.

I gave you everything I had, but you don't seem to need it.

The video has ended.

For a full minute, the comment section remained completely silent.

It was as if everyone who clicked on the video had had their soul ripped out.

A minute later, a comment appeared, albeit tentatively.

What he held in his hands wasn't gold, but my sincere heart, which I had offered up but no one else wanted.

This comment is like a signal.

Instantly, the entire comment section completely spiraled out of control!

[It's so similar, so incredibly similar. That cautious, ingratiating manner, that fear of being isolated, that belief that money can buy respect. Isn't this just me?]

[I'm completely devastated. I'm really devastated. I remembered the girl I chased for three years, I did everything for her, and she said she didn't like me because I was too good. I'm just that stupid guy who held onto gold and got rejected!]

No, I didn't cry. I was only crying for No-Face, not for myself. Absolutely not!

[Hey upstairs, stop being so stubborn. We're all clowns, except he wears a mask, and we paint our masks on our faces.]

At 11:30 p.m., a topic suddenly appeared at the top of the trending search list.

#FacelessManPlaysMe#

Once you click in, it's no longer a celebration for fans, nor a barrage of insults from haters.

That's an emotional release that belongs to adults.

A middle-aged man who had just been laid off wrote in the comments section of the post.

I am that faceless man who grew fat, whose youth was devoured by the company, and who, in the end, spat it out with nothing.

A message left by a girl who has a crush on someone she doesn't like.

I tried my best to be good to him, cooking for him, knitting him scarves, but all he said to me was thank you. At that moment, I felt like No-Face.

Countless working people who are feeling emo late at night have found their spiritual home at this moment.

They were all talking about that lonely monster, and themselves, who were equally lonely.

At this moment, the popularity of this animated film completely broke through the circle of animation and became a social topic.

Countless film critics, sociologists, and psychology bloggers were stunned.

They never imagined that a supporting character in an animated film could so accurately strike at the most vulnerable nerve of contemporary young people.

A well-known film critic published a shocking article.

This isn't marketing anymore; it's psychology, it's sociology!

Su Bai isn't just making animation; he's dissecting the soul of this era!

The title "the devil who understands people best" spread across the internet in just half an hour.

Because people have discovered that only the devil can see through and manipulate people's hearts so accurately.

......

The office area of ​​the healing animation company is brightly lit.

Mr. Zhang, the head of the public relations department, was trembling as he watched the data on the back end skyrocket.

"The boss exploded again!"

"Weibo's servers were almost crashed! The discussion volume of the hashtag #NoFacePlaysMe# has exceeded the total of all previous hashtags combined!"

Shen Qingyue also joined them, looking at the heartbreaking comments on the screen, her gaze complex as she looked at Su Bai in the corner.

This man always manages to inflict the deepest wounds with the gentlest of knives.

At this moment, Su Bai was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.

On the system panel in front of him, which only he could see, the number of depression points was jumping wildly at a terrifying speed.

[+1000!]

[+1000!]

......

A series of system notification sounds merged into a sea of ​​joy in his mind.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully triggered a social-level resonance of loneliness. Your depression level is rapidly increasing!]

[The next anime, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, is being rapidly unlocked!]

Su Bai slowly opened his eyes, his eyes showing no joy, only a deep calm.

He looked at the faceless man on the screen, whom countless people regarded as a source of spiritual sustenance, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He spoke softly, as if addressing the depressing comments filling the screen, or perhaps as if talking to himself.

"This is just an appetizer."
