Depressive Screenwriter

For an entire week, news about Su Yan and 'Edgerunners' dominated the television market.

The buzz around 'Edgerunners' was noticeably a level higher than the other two dramas.

Various rating agencies and critics flooded the internet with articles praising the show to the heavens.

Now, the media's eyes were glued to the show.

Since the ninth episode's viewership rate was already at 5.59%, what about the tenth episode?

What would happen?

On another note, before the final episode of 'Edgerunners' aired, Su Yan temporarily inserted a movie trailer for 'The Garden of Words' after the end credits.

It wasn't a formal trailer, just a short clip of less than ten seconds, featuring only some visuals and the movie's release date.

Of course, this had to be communicated with Zhong Xia TV in advance.

This was different from product placement; it was movie promotion. If Zhong Xia TV didn't agree, Su Yan wouldn't be allowed to do it.

Fortunately, 'Edgerunners' performed exceptionally well, and Zhong Xia TV only held a meeting to discuss Su Yan's temporary request for a day before agreeing.

After all, they were aware that Su Yan's position in the Xia country's television industry would be completely different after the broadcast of 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners'.

If they wanted to continue collaborating with Su Yan in the future, it was necessary to maintain a good relationship now.

Among the three major television stations in Xia country, cooperation with Sakura TV was impossible due to Su Yan's relationship with Akasaka Yoshishi.

As for Zhong Xia and Shanghai TV, Shanghai TV had initially rejected Su Yan's collaboration request, and Zhong Xia's support for 'Edgerunners' was also all-out, making continued cooperation highly likely.

There was no need to create unhappiness over such a small matter.

With everything arranged, Su Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Next, we just wait for the finale of 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' tomorrow."

Having come to this world for two years and produced five television dramas.

Su Yan had finally reached his current position.

Until now, none of the three major television stations had released any news about producing S-level dramas in the second half of the year.

If this ultimately came true, 'Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' would win the annual championship.

Annual championship...

Thinking of this, Su Yan found it hard to calm down.

The next day.

From daytime, Su Yan's fans all over the country were excited.

"Let's go tonight!"

"Su Yan, you old thief, create a legendary episode tonight! The atmosphere of this drama has been built up, so don't drop the ball in the last episode!"

"That's right, as long as this drama has a normal ending, it will definitely become a masterpiece!"

"What is a normal ending?"

"David overcoming cyberpsychosis and successfully rescuing Lucy, then the two of them leaving Night City, something like that! As long as the plot goes in this direction, this drama will definitely become a masterpiece!"

"New viewers, aren't you? With Su Yan's old thief's personality, is it possible for everyone to survive?"

"I'm a Miyazono Kaori supporter. I think it would be best if Lucy died in the finale, and David and Rebecca ended up together. Actually, I don't really like Lucy's character, but I adore Rebecca!"

"No, no, no, Rebecca is indeed very good, but Lucy is definitely the main love interest."

"Hmm, is it possible that David dies, and Rebecca and Lucy end up together?"

"Damn it, you heretical fans of 'Life is Strange', shut up! It's been so long, and you're still talking about this."

"Su Yan, Gu Qingyuan, and Shen Liqian are really outrageous. Any combination of them has CP fans."

"There's no way around it, Su Yan's dramas are like this. After the ending, there are all kinds of regrets, and then a bunch of fans can't forget it..."

"Everyone dies! If everyone dies, there's no need to argue!"

"If Su Yan dares to kill everyone, then he really needs to pay attention to his personal safety!"

Before the broadcast, Su Yan's fans were all in a relaxed mood.

Although the old fans guessed that Su Yan might be cruel in this episode.

But ultimately, there was no real concept.

As for the new fans, some were even dreaming of everyone escaping Night City.

In the evening, as the broadcast time approached.

Su Yan's fans became more active.

The viewership rate of Zhong Xia TV began to climb from seven o'clock.

At seven thirty, Zhong Xia TV had a twenty-minute interview program, inviting Su Yan, Gu Qingyuan, and Shen Liqian to the stage to accept interviews about this drama.

Even this kind of temporary interview had a viewership rate of over 5% throughout.

Here, the interviewer also asked Su Yan who the strongest cyberpunk in Night City was in the work's setting.

Whether they had appeared in the drama.

Su Yan also slightly revealed some content about Cyberpunk 2077.

Directly telling the Edgerunners audience in Xia country.

The strongest cyberpunk in Night City is named "V".

There was no way for Su Yan to bring the 2077 game to Xia country, so this could be considered a memento for the audience.

Shen Sihan looked at the end of the interview with some lingering interest.

V?

The old thief really has a lot of settings!

Adam Smasher is already someone that cyberpunks in the drama fear.

Is there anyone stronger than him?

At this time, there were only two minutes left before the final episode of Edgerunners was broadcast.

Shen Sihan took a deep breath and quickly cleared all distracting thoughts from her mind.

Soon, the screen of Zhong Xia TV paused.

The iconic electronic music theme song of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners rang.

Shen Sihan gently shook her head with the theme song.

The plot began, picking up from the end of the ninth episode.

David, Rebecca, and the team's driver uncle were driving the armored vehicle of the Cyber Skeleton, with David wearing the Cyber Skeleton sitting in the car.

The group charged straight ahead, swaggering through Night City towards Lucy.

Just such a scene instantly made Shen Sihan feel excited.

That's what I want, madness!

David had already begun to burn his life, so he certainly couldn't be low-key at this time.

This drama had been mentioning several legends in Night City.

Johnny Silverhand decades ago!

And Adam Smasher now.

Both are legendary cyberpunks in Night City.

So David...

Wearing the Cyber Skeleton, would he become a legend tonight?

Of course, the drama didn't explicitly say the next sentence in this work.

Night City has no living legends.

Smasher in the game was also killed by V like a weakling.

Like the ninth episode, the tenth episode began with David's frantic rampage in Night City.

His will was hovering on the verge of complete madness.

But every time he fell into hallucinations, Rebecca would give him an immunosuppressant injection to pull him out of the hallucination.

"This..." Shen Sihan's eyes widened.

"Isn't this like injecting adrenaline to rescue patients in the emergency room? David, is there really a chance to survive? Injecting like this?"

But Shen Sihan's thoughts were immediately attracted by the wonderful fight scenes.

In Night City, David single-handedly fought thousands of police officers who came from all directions.

Since Arasaka Corporation wanted to use him for experiments and wanted to capture Lucy.

Then he would turn Arasaka Corporation's Night City upside down!

A pile of technologies, methods, science, and combat systems that Shen Sihan couldn't understand appeared on the Cyber Skeleton, and David's body as the wearer was under severe load and constantly coughing up blood.

On the other side, Faraday, who had captured Lucy, was talking to Kiwi, and the two were discussing David's intrusion into Night City.

"The Arasaka Corporation's rescue team will definitely handle it!" Faraday was very confident in Arasaka Corporation's security capabilities.

So what if he offended David?

Daring to break into Night City and go on a killing spree, David was already a dead man.

Kiwi, the traitor, wanted to leave Night City and demanded that Faraday settle the payment clearly.

As for Faraday...

The expression on his face after hanging up the phone clearly showed that he wanted to double-cross them.

Shen Sihan now despised this villain even more.

Although she knew he was a scumbag, she didn't expect him to be so trash.

The plot came to David's side.

Through flashbacks, it was revealed that Rebecca had given him a total of nine immunosuppressant injections!

The doctor clearly stated when giving David this inhibitor that once the ninth injection was given to the human body, the drug's effect would completely collapse, and then no matter how strong David's willpower was, he would fall outside the edge...

It hit the meaning of the title 'Edgerunners'.

Cyberpunks walking between sobriety and madness.

Completely turning into a madman!

Shen Sihan and tens of millions of viewers in Xia country suddenly changed their expressions when they saw this.

Before David completely died, everyone still had hope that David could survive.

In the cyberpunk world, as long as a piece of brain tissue survives, you can be fitted with a mechanical body and live on.

But if the brain has become a mental illness, then there is really no cure.

So, the old thief is clearly going to sacrifice David in this episode?

Shen Sihan felt a little uncomfortable, although she had expected it, the ninth episode hinted very clearly.

But the feeling of sadness was still unavoidable when the plot really developed here.

"Forget it, this is the old thief's style!"

The plot continued to advance.

Suddenly, David laughed wildly during the battle.

Rebecca looked at David on the roof of the car, her expression became sad, she climbed to the roof of the car and came to David wearing the Cyber Skeleton.

On one side of the screen, it came to Night City during the day.

David put on the yellow sweatshirt that his mother left him.

In a trance, he seemed to see his mother.

As if, he came to the day his mother was killed, the moment he talked with his mother.

"I hope you work hard and climb to the top of Arasaka Tower!" Mother said to David with a smile.

Shen Sihan suddenly felt a sense of tears when she saw this.

At this time, at the end of David's life, the illusion in his mind was actually his mother?

"Mom, I will, I will climb to the top of Arasaka Tower!" David said in a daze.

Rebecca saw this scene and a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, she smiled and said to him.

"Then let's go, all the way to the top!"

This is true love!

There was no way Rebecca wouldn't know what it meant to oppose Arasaka Corporation in Night City.

But even so, she still rushed to Night City with David, rushing to Arasaka Corporation.

A moth flying into the flame may be foolish, but its courage cannot be questioned.

Tears...

At this moment, Shen Sihan felt a sense of sadness.

"We need Lucy. At this time, the only one who can bring him back is Lucy."

Rebecca said decisively, although she was unhappy, she still said so.

On the other side, Kiwi was double-crossed by Faraday, and before she died, she transmitted the signal of the hovercar with the tracker installed by Faraday to David.

Faraday quickly asked his subordinates to send him and Lucy to Arasaka Tower to hand over personnel.

The Arasaka Corporation's senior management noticed David's abnormality and quickly invited Adam Smasher, the legend of Night City, to Arasaka Corporation's headquarters, Arasaka Tower, to sit in town!

The plot of the whole drama came to a climax!

After arriving at Arasaka Tower, Rebecca gave David an immunosuppressant injection.

At this time, David regained consciousness, and he only had the last injection of immunosuppressant left!

Looking at Arasaka Tower in front of him, David smiled.

Arasaka Tower top.

Faraday grabbed Lucy and demanded a reward from the handover personnel, but there was a conflict between the two sides.

Shen Sihan took a deep breath, and the hatred in her heart for this villain reached its peak.

Then the next second...

David, wearing Sandevistan, suddenly appeared in the middle of the crowd.

Interrupting Faraday's arm and facing Lucy face to face.

Cyber Skeleton started...

Hundreds of people on the scene were killed instantly!

David in this scene was so handsome.

"Go, David!" Shen Sihan's emotions were mobilized at this time, and she stood up directly from the sofa.

Gravity weapon activated, Faraday was instantly pressed to the ground, and his leg was crushed alive.

Faraday screamed frantically.

"I won't let you die so easily!" David helped Lucy, who had regained consciousness, and said coldly.

At this time, Adam Smasher, the legendary cyberpunk in this work, appeared.

David and Adam Smasher, two people wearing tons of prosthetics, stood together, and the two behemoths directly pulled the sense of oppression to the maximum.

Shen Sihan's heart was accelerating.

Sure enough, the next scene was a head-on confrontation between the two strongest cyberpunks in Night City!

David's Sandevistan, Adam Smasher also had it.

The two staged a wave of ultra-high-speed battles that everyone couldn't see on the upper level of Arasaka Tower.

In the Edgerunners drama, Su Yan did not allow David's combat power to be as weak as in the game.

The original animation was to promote the game and attract hatred, so David was defeated by Adam Smasher in this way.

But the drama is different, the protagonist can lose, can die, but can't lose so weakly.

Moreover, Su Yan didn't plan to make the 2077 game in Xia country, so there was no need to suppress David too much in the plot.

In this fight scene, although David and Adam Smasher's battle was suppressed, it was generally considered to be back and forth.

The divine song i really want to stay at your house in this drama was launched again.

The clear and sweet female voice whispered, matching the battle scenes of David and Adam Smasher.

Shen Sihan's eyes widened.

David took care of Lucy, so he just wanted to leave first.

But he fell into the symptoms of mental illness during the battle with Adam Smasher.

Lucy cried and called David, but he was always unable to wake up, and took Lucy and jumped from Arasaka Tower.

It was still that same bright moon, still the same starry sky as the night they confessed their feelings.

At this moment,

the figures of the two people in the sky overlapped with their past selves.

Once again, Lucy kissed David!

David’s eyes regained their clarity.

The strongest immunosuppressant couldn't compare to the love between Lucy and David!

As long as Lucy was there, David would never sink into hallucinations!

The background music continued to play.

Shen Sihan suddenly teared up at this sight.
