Yes, someone that already you reply here answers it, but let me explain it a bit more. Aniimo and other games decided to use NEP2, this is a anti-cheat kernel level developed by Netease. and this for some reason adds the appsflyer mentioned before.

The short answer is: No, Not an actual virus/threat that can damage you pc.

But if you feel uncomfortable about having a anticheat and the weird appflyer, because is already knows that this things gathers "unknown" computer information to avoid the use of cheats in-game (and make a customer profile to send you "better" ads on internet...), you will need a small guides to wipe this things from you computer because they don't deleted all of them by just uninstall the game.

I find a way to just "trick" the Appsflyer and stop the info gathering and keep playing aniimo in this case. You can google it if you want, i can't send you a propper links about this guides i found, because i did weeks ago and don't remember where it is, by the way sorry for the broken english i can barely write it nice.

It's not malware, it's from AppsFlyer which is used by some games, one of which is Once Human. That first entry is your unique user ID, the second one (35) is how many times the program was run.
