Is this cartoonist mentally ill?.

Chapter 95 Beyond the Edge
As David Seber's symptoms of insanity became more severe, even after he returned home, the deranged hallucinations continued to haunt him.

Chen Wenrui was naturally very worried when he saw this.

The main reason is that he is worried that David will do what Mann did... during the illness, he would take action against those around him.

Now he is at home, with only Lucy by his side...

But when David got sick, he suddenly fell to the floor and fainted.

"David..."

Lucy's worried shouts came from the side.

But in general, David's onset of illness was not like Mann's inability to control himself and attack the people around him at will.

This is a good thing.

The scene changed and David, who had passed out, appeared in the black market doctor's clinic with whom he had always been friends.

He woke up leisurely under the watchful eye of the black market doctor.

Next to her, Lucy was leaning against the wall and sleeping with a coat on her back.

Apparently she sent David here.

And the black market doctor began to ask David, "When did you kid... start?"

"what?"

"Shaking hands, dizziness, nausea, you have it, right?"

The black market doctor looked at David and said with a strange smile.

"it's been a while……"

David said weakly.

In his conversation with the doctor, it can be heard that David's illness is not at all what he showed before or what he said, it is just mild cyber insanity.

It's a very serious situation.

Even……

The doctor directly asked him to stop the prosthetic transformation, "Please suspend the prosthetic transformation for a while. You are already on the edge of cyberpsychosis."

When Chen Wenrui saw this, he was shocked.

David...already on the verge of cyberpsychosis?
The edge... the edge, that's just one step away from becoming a cybermaniac.

But as mentioned before, David was unwilling to stop the prosthetic transformation.

Just like the original Mann.

He said to the doctor with an almost crazy expression on his face, "Then give me stronger medicine!"

"Hey, hey, are you crazy?"

The doctor continued, "There is no cure for this situation!"

When David heard this, he lost control. He grabbed the doctor he had always been friends with by the neck and pushed him against the wall.

And the "Cyber ​​Psychosis" logo screen has appeared on his eyes.

"Hurry up and hand over the medicine! Don't you just want money?!"

David... it's really serious. The way he attacks the doctors is definitely not something he would do with his usually peaceful personality!

This even startled the sleeping Lucy.

"David!"

After Lucy's call, David calmed down and let go of the doctor.

The doctor finally gave David a powerful immunosuppressant.

"Take it, this is the last medicine I will prescribe for you. It is nine times the standard dose and can be used nine times."

"It's enough to send you directly to the edge, until you completely lose control and end up in hell..."

"Taking these medicines means you won't come back again..."

"Just remember, once you fall beyond the edge, you can't turn back..."

"Go ahead and be your cyberpunk legend, or whatever."

David took the medicine and apologized and left the doctor's clinic with Lucy.

But after they left the clinic, the doctor sitting on the ground looked at David with emotion...

"I will pass on your legend..."

When Chen Wenrui saw this, his emotions were a little complicated.

He remembered that in Mann's previous hallucination, there was a sentence called...

"There are no living legends in Night City."

Does the doctor's words imply that David will die like other legends of Night City in the future?

After leaving the clinic, David and Lucy had an argument. Naturally, Lucy wanted David to suspend the transformation of his prosthetic body, or even downgrade his prosthetic body, just like Dorio had persuaded Mann.

Now... she actually no longer wants to go to the moon. She just wants to live a good life with David.

But David is still stubborn. He already understands why Mann was unwilling to downgrade the prosthetic body.

Because it is a responsibility.

This kind of responsibility is so great that even if you know that you are about to become a cyber madman, you still have to bet that you are the most unique one.

After the final argument was fruitless, David said to Lucy very unexpectedly:
"Perhaps it would be better for us to go our separate ways."

Is this... breaking up with Lucy?
But when he thought about the ending of Dolio and Mann, Chen Wenrui understood again.

David was worried that...if he lost control completely, he would implicate or even kill Lucy himself.

But Lucy did not agree to David, and she detected the traces of network hackers at Arasaka Company just now.

So she decided to deal with the hackers of Arasaka Company first, and then have a good talk with David.

"Let's finish talking when we get home!"

Lucy left these words in a hurry and followed the trace directly to find the hacker of Arasaka Company.

But just when she was about to repeat her old tricks and kill the hacker...

Her system suddenly suffered a powerful attack, explosion sparks appeared directly on her head, and she collapsed to the ground.

And at this moment, the people who appeared in the last cartoon turned out to be Faraday and...

Qiwei!

"Very well, this will be our ticket to Arasaka."

Faraday said happily.

"This is the end of this story."

what?
Chen Wenrui's eyes widened as Qiwei and Faraday appeared together.

Could it be that Qiwei betrayed David and the others and betrayed Lucy?

This, this, this, this... how is this possible?

It is completely unreasonable for the protagonist's friends to betray him!
However, Chen Wenrui suddenly remembered the conversation between Qi Wei and Lucy just now...

"Don't trust anyone in Night City. If you are betrayed because of this, it will be your own fault."

He thought this was Qi Wei's teaching to Lucy.

And in a case like this, doesn’t it usually exclude partners?

But Qiwei's final plot of betraying Lucy obviously told Chen Wenrui and other comic fans.

No, anyone here, even my own partners.

And Qiwei is someone who firmly believes in this law of survival.

If you think about it carefully...that's right too.

It is indeed impossible to have any faith in this place called Night City.

Morality and righteousness are not even as good as a piece of paper to wipe one's butt in Night City.

but……

After reading the plot of this episode, Chen Wenrui discovered...

The next chapter is gone.

In other words, he can't see the next plot.

Lucy is betrayed by Qiwei and then captured by Faraday. This is the most tense and worrying climax of the plot.

The result is gone...

"Ahhhhhhh-I feel so uncomfortable!"

Chen Wenrui scratched his hair, held his forehead and looked embarrassed.

"Teacher Chen?"

At this moment, a female teacher who came back from class looked at him and asked with some worry, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to take a leave of absence to take a look?"

"No! It's nothing!"

Chen Wenrui instantly returned to his previous calm and reliable teacher appearance and said.

But after the female teacher returned to his seat, he looked at the comic magazine in front of him and sighed, "The comic author doesn't really want to draw David and Lucy to death, right?"

　The last paragraph before the ending is a broad description of the original plot, which will be abbreviated directly later.

　　In addition, since more than 50 paying book friends have commented that they do not want DLC plots, I will not write them. I will gradually change the parts that contain these plots little by little.

　　After looking at where I saved the manuscript, I will finish writing the comic part of "Edgewalker" next Monday, followed by the part where animation production and game publishing are working together, and the new serial "Chainsaw Man" will debut.
