In that dim corner, a researcher in a white coat lay listlessly on a chair.
Due to the passage of time, he had become a skeleton.
Pinned to his chest was his name tag:
"Weapon Development Center Special Researcher: Auriel Bart"
Ilya crouched down and examined his ribs, where there was a fatal wound, piercing his heart.
The shape of the wound matched the throwing knives used by the mechanical puppet earlier.
"It seems he was ambushed and killed by a runaway mechanical puppet."
Emma knelt down, gazing at the dust-covered bones.
"Mr. Bart…"
Her body trembled, tears blurring her vision.
"So, you've been gone for so long. All this time, it was that puppet talking to me…
It turns out, I've been all alone in this circus for a long time."
Ilya pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is this mechanical puppet also a circus performer?"
"Yes…"
Emma wiped the corners of her eyes. "It mainly performed throwing knives and soaring. Later, because it was too dangerous, it was stored backstage at the theater."
Sophia continued her analysis: "So, someone secretly hacked into the central processing unit of this mechanical puppet, controlled its actions, and then killed Director Bart?"
Nikki tilted her head, looking at Bart's white coat: "But looking at this attire, he doesn't seem like a circus director. And what does 'Special Researcher' mean?"
At this moment, John's portly figure rummaged around in the corner behind Bart, and then pulled out a booklet.
Everyone curiously opened it to read:
《General-Purpose Humanoid Combat Weapon "Emma" Obedience Test Record》
"Today, I received a new test subject, codenamed Emma."
"This little one seems to be a defective product from those slackers at the hatching center. Just look at the scar on her mouth."
"Next, according to the procedures in the work manual, I will fabricate her circus background, establishing identity recognition and trust."
"Since she has this scar… let her be a clown. Start recording from now until she achieves absolute obedience to orders on the battlefield."
The following were some diary-like logs, recording Emma's performance results and stress test results every day.
After seeing these, Emma staggered back several steps, almost falling to the ground.
Although she didn't understand much of what was in this record, it was clear that Mr. Bart was not the circus director. He had deceived her, using her as an observation subject for some strange ritual.
She desperately shook her head:
"Why did it turn out like this… For the first time, I had a job I liked,
For the first time, I met a director I respected,
These two happy things intertwined, I should have had a dreamlike happy time.
But, why, did it turn out like this…"
Ilya was about to step forward to comfort her, but John patted her shoulder and shook his head:
"Being betrayed by the person you trust most must be very heartbreaking. Let her be alone."
……
The next day.
In the bright morning sunshine, John and his three catgirl companions were preparing to continue their journey, exploring the secrets of Paradise.
Emma took the initiative to find them.
"I want to travel with you, to discover the truth of this world together."
At this time, she seemed to have regained her spirits.
John scratched his head: "Miss Emma, aren't you sad? You don't have to force yourself."
Emma shook her head with a relieved smile:
"I have never accepted myself.
I always thought that the best way to stop disappointment is to stop expecting.
But now, I have new expectations for the future, because… I have found friends."
A hamster and four catgirls left the circus tent area and embarked on the desolate red brick road.
For them, many new mysteries were added to their hearts,
What was Bart's purpose, why did the person who hacked the puppet kill him, and why did they continue to control Emma with his voice,
The secrets of this Paradise are more than imagined,
The sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, and they gradually turned into small spots of light, disappearing at the end of Paradise…
A melodious and gentle folk guitar solo music sounded, adding a bit of ethereal artistic conception to the animation,
Broadcasting here, it was exactly half an hour long, and the subtitles appeared:
《TV Animation "Catgirl Paradise Adventure" Pilot Screening Ends》
《To be Continued》
……
Fan Shi's live broadcast room popularity has reached 2 million.
The screen was full of comments expressing how much people wanted more:
"Damn, this plot twist is amazing, I can't get enough of it."
"Peach Garden Township, please put the animation on the shelves quickly, don't force me to kneel down and beg you!"
"Honestly, Ilya's white silk thighs were so bouncy during the battle just now, how did they do it?"
"They must have filmed a real-life model, for example, find a girl wearing white silk stockings and sit on the ground, then a group of LSP (lecherous) people take pictures like crazy."
"Ew… I don't believe the staff at Peach Garden Township are so perverted."
"What's wrong with men being perverted?"
"Besides stockings, what else can you guys discuss? Get out, get out… Get out and let me see."
As a professional animation review UP (uploader) host, Fan Shi is also summarizing in the live broadcast room:
"Through this pilot screening, the first thing I saw was the plot production skills of Peach Garden Township.
It can be seen that the screenwriter adopted a multi-line plot technique,
In addition to the main line of sending John home, each catgirl also has her own story branch.
Moreover, the branches are also intertwined with the main line,
These catgirls are not just background boards for Hamster John, but living people living in Paradise."
The audience in the live broadcast room expressed their agreement:
"Moreover, the animation also realizes many dynamic effects, such as dynamic weather and water flow effects."
"I think the characters' micro-expressions are very vivid, the catgirls' eyes are also quite agile, and the emotional expression on their faces is also very delicate."
"If the official version maintains this effect, it can indeed compete with Japanese animation."
The most recent novel was first published on 69shu.com!

After the animation pilot screening, many professional animation media outlets that participated in the screening quickly wrote review articles:
《Impressions of the Catgirl Paradise Pilot Screening: A Visual Feast Not to Be Missed》
《A Detailed Review of Peach Garden Township's Animation Test: Technological Innovation Leads the Future of Animation》
《Appreciating the Catgirl Paradise Worldview: The Pioneering Work of Domestic Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland Animation》
《Catgirl Paradise: The Exquisite Skill of Character Shaping Under a Unique Background Setting》
《Professional Musician Analysis: The Mystery of Catgirl Paradise's Three-Dimensional Sound Effect Design》
The popularity of the animation began to soar across the entire network!
In the evening after the pilot screening, Gong Qijun gathered all the employees of the animation team and held a brief meeting.
At the meeting, You Keyang, who was the production assistant, constantly used PPT to display the feedback data from the scene and the live broadcast platform, as well as the review articles of major media outlets on the pilot screening.
Looking at the PPT, which reported good news across the board, Gong Qijun waved his hand:
"Tomorrow, the animation will be officially launched on Bilibili!"
The employees of Peach Garden Animation were all nervous and expectant,
After a long period of hard work, they were finally about to face the audience!
In fact, due to the production cycle of the animation, the Catgirl Paradise animation has only completed the first three episodes up to the Clown Catgirl.
The stories behind it only have scripts and storyboard drafts. If the animation is updated weekly, then a new episode needs to be produced every week.
Therefore, Gong Qijun held this core player pilot screening with the intention of testing the waters.
Now it seems that there are no problems with the overall production direction and ideas.
He dialed the phone of Liu Mengyuan, the art director, to report.
Liu Mengyuan simply replied, "Just go for it."
……
September 19, Tuesday.
Without any prior notice, the 《Catgirl Paradise Adventure》 animation began to be serialized on the Bilibili domestic animation channel, and the official website released the complete first 3 episodes in one go.
The official media accounts of Catgirl Paradise Adventure released a poster at the same time as the animation was launched, with the caption:
"The animation is launched today, welcome to watch."
The comments below this post exploded at a speed visible to the naked eye:
"The pilot screening just ended yesterday, we thought we would have to wait at least a month, and you just put it on the shelves?"
"Damn, Peach Garden Township is so damn fond of its fans?"
"Moreover, it released a full 3 episodes at once, each episode is a half-hour long, not squeezing toothpaste at all, the amount is large and satisfying!"
"No, your company either does closed-door promotion or diarrheal updates, without any preheating?"
"I just sent a leave application to my leader, snacks and Coke have been bought, today I belong to Catgirl Paradise!"
The animation broke one million views within 1 hour of being launched on the animation channel, and the number of followers exceeded 100,000. The animation review area was full of praise, with an opening score of 9.8 points, a heavenly start!
At the same time, almost all the popular ACG (animation, comics, and games) anchors and virtual YouTubers on major live broadcast platforms such as Douyu, Huya, and Bilibili were trying out the animation in the live broadcast room,
There was no way, yesterday's pilot screening had already exploded in the animation fan circle, and no one wanted to give up this wave of traffic.
On Weibo, the #Catgirl Paradise Animation Launch# entry instantly soared to the 10th spot on the Weibo hot search list, and was still climbing rapidly.
In Tieba (Baidu Forums) and major animation forums, animation reviews and plot discussion posts about Catgirl Paradise occupied the forum homepage.
Fan-made videos also began to spread on major video and short video platforms.
On the Qidian Chinese Network's light novel channel, there were even fan-fiction novels of Catgirl Paradise.
Driven by the animation's popularity, the total sales of the original Catgirl Paradise game soared to 500,000!
And these achievements were achieved in less than a day since the animation was launched.
……
In the evening, the official website of Doggirl Paradise Adventure also released a new trailer for the animation on Tenghui Animation Network.
Shortly after the trailer was released, the public opinion instantly exploded!
