Depressive Screenwriter

Too beautiful.

Romance, tragedy, and depression overlapped in Shen Sihan's heart.

Her nose tingled as she watched David's psychotic symptoms gradually return.

【David, you still installed it, the cybernetic exoskeleton. Actually, I knew you would do this, and I knew that if you installed it, you would die. I just didn't want you to die, that's why I told you not to come.】

Lucy's voice choked, almost crying.

【This is the only way I can protect you in this city! I couldn't protect Mom, Maine, but I want to protect you!】 David said gently to Lucy.

The two of them were in mid-air, falling towards the ground.

That figure was like a shooting star, dazzling and brilliant, but only existing for a fleeting moment.

At this moment, Shen Sihan's tears blurred the scene.

Su Yan, you old thief, is this how you ended the last episode?

This is the only way I can protect you in this city.

This is David.

【I don't want you to die, I just want you to live!】

Lucy said, crying.

【I want to help you achieve your dream, as long as I can help you achieve it, I don't care about losing everything!】 David said with a smile.

At this moment, everything goes without saying.

A group of Edgerunners fans completely broke down at this moment.

A truly depressing masterpiece is not something you can defend against just because you know it's a depressing drama.

Old Su Yan fans had already prepared themselves for this episode.

But...

The tears still flowed.

Arasaka Tower's plaza.

David and Lucy descended from the sky, not afraid of the countless police officers surrounding them.

【We're back!】

"Charge! Charge out for me!" Shen Sihan's eyes were tearful.

At this time, the "I really want to stay at your house" BGM stopped.

Rebecca, with a smiling expression, welcomed the two back, but suddenly and furiously opened fire on the sky.

Bang bang bang!

Dense gunfire rang out.

Then, there was a deafening crashing sound.

Rebecca's figure was submerged.

Shen Sihan's eyes widened.

Her heart instantly turned cold.

On the ground was Rebecca's corpse, crushed into a pile of minced meat by Adam Smasher in the underground parking lot.

Already, crushed into a pile of minced meat.

Shen Sihan was stunned.

Countless Xia Guo's Shen Liqian and Miyazono Kaori fans were also stunned.

This...

What the hell?

Rebecca is dead?

And died like this?

What the heck is going on?

Su Yan, are you human?

Do you even know how to write?

It's fine if the male lead David dies.

We can accept that David sacrifices himself to save Lucy and Rebecca as the plot has unfolded.

But Rebecca just died like that?

Shen Sihan was already gnashing her teeth. She was just tearing up at David and Lucy's love, but now she was directly breaking down.

"Adam Smasher, Su Yan, you old thief!"

Her fists were clenched.

David immediately went crazy.

He recklessly charged towards Adam Smasher.

On the other side, the driver, Falco, immediately picked up Lucy, who had not yet recovered her mobility, and put her in the car. David and Lucy only had time to look at each other one last time...

This was their final farewell!

Lucy frantically demanded that Falco go back to save David.

But Falco said that this was the last task David had given him, forcibly restrained Lucy, and then drove away.

【I'm sorry, we can't go to the moon together!】

David looked at the monster Adam Smasher in front of him, a smile appearing on his lips.

The smiling faces of Kiwi, Pilar, Dorio, Rebecca, Maine, and other team members flashed in his mind.

David withstood Adam Smasher's attack.

He fought him head-on.

The special effects for this fight were maxed out.

In the end, no miracle occurred.

David fell.

But Adam Smasher was also seriously injured by David's dying attack, and his life was also in danger.

Here, Su Yan also allowed this battle to have a decent ending.

It was also a small adaptation.

The plot didn't explain whether Adam Smasher died.

But in reality, in the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners world, as long as you don't die on the spot, it's basically the same as not dying.

But at least in the plot's depiction, the two had to be portrayed as evenly matched.

Otherwise, the audience would definitely not be able to accept the fact that David didn't pose much of a threat to Adam Smasher until his death, like in the anime.

Lucy was taken out of Night City by the driver, away from the Arasaka Corporation's sphere of influence.

Then...

David converted all his money in advance into a ticket to the moon and asked Falco to give it to her.

Shen Sihan couldn't hold back when she saw this.

"Su Yan, you old thief, don't you really feel any guilt? The foreshadowing for going to the moon is here..."

The last scene of the tenth episode was Lucy, wearing a spacesuit, stepping on the soil of the moon.

The light of the sun shone over, but it was completely different from what she had felt in the braindance.

In a trance, a young man in a yellow hoodie seemed to appear in front of Lucy!

Smiling, he turned his head and said to her.

"The sun is so hot!"

Lucy was stunned, and the illusion of the young man disappeared.

Only the figure of the girl remained on the moon.

The ending song BGM started.

After a long time, the ending song ended, and the movie trailer for "The Garden of Words" appeared.

But at this moment, Shen Sihan could only passively accept this information.

On July 31st, Su Yan's movie will be released in theaters nationwide.

Shen Sihan's heart felt as if it had been hollowed out.

This situation had occurred before when Su Yan's works ended.

She really wanted to scold Su Yan.

But she understood that the anger at this moment was only temporary, and when she savored the plot again the day after tomorrow, she would understand that this was a masterpiece.

This drama was never intended to have a happy ending from the beginning.

From the moment Lucy spoke of her dream, from the moment David chose to become a cyberpunk, his fate was sealed.

Those who kill, those who lick blood from the edge of a knife, ultimately have this kind of ending.

Like Kenshin, who killed so many people, how could his work be considered profound if his fate was to live happily in seclusion with Yukishiro Tomoe?

David exhausted his life just to fulfill the dream of the girl he loved.

Since she felt that Blue Star had no freedom and was full of corporations, technology, and the constraints of others.

Then, even if it was only for a second, David wanted to let Lucy go to the moon and experience true freedom.

When he was with Lucy, David said that he would let her fulfill her dream and go to the moon.

At the end of this drama, David fulfilled his promise.

Not a single word he said to Lucy was false!

Shen Sihan took a deep breath and turned off the TV.

At this moment, she didn't know how to sleep, nor did she know how to evaluate this drama.

She just kept replaying the plot in her mind, and gradually, she became more and more emo.

She didn't know if she could get out of this state in half a month.

At the same time, Su Yan and the Cyberpunk fans on the Internet had already exploded.

On the four major online broadcasting platforms, multiple trending topics for the tenth episode of Edgerunners topped the trending charts.

Rebecca-chan.

Did Adam Smasher die or not.

Who is V.

What kind of movie is The Garden of Words, etc., appeared at the top of the trending charts.

"Damn it, it's fine if David dies, but why did Rebecca die too?"

"Su Yan, you old thief, are you really human! Is this a script that humans can write?"

"I'm a Shen Liqian fan, and I was really abused tonight. Even Miyazono Kaori in Your Lie in April didn't die this miserably!"

"Directly bombarded into sauce. That's ruthless enough, Su Yan, you old thief!"

"Who came up with the nickname Rebecca-chan, I'm so angry!"

"Damn it, I'm going to be pissed off!"

"So Adam Smasher really didn't die?"

"From this battle, Adam Smasher and David are 60/40. But David knew he was going to die and fought to trade his life, Adam Smasher should have died too, but, doesn't he have Arasaka Corporation to save him? With Arasaka Corporation's technological capabilities, it's impossible for him not to be saved!"

"That's not fair, that can work?"

"Does Night City talk about fairness? When you're out there, you definitely have to talk about background and power! David lost to others in this respect, there's no way around it."

"Maybe Arasaka Corporation will save David too! Arasaka Corporation can't let go of David's body, right?"

"Could it be that there will be a second season of this drama?"

"Maybe Lucy will be the main character or an important supporting role in the second season! Didn't Su Yan, the old thief, say in an interview before that the strongest cyberpunk in Night City is V? Is it possible that there will really be a second season, letting V kill his way to Arasaka Corporation, rescuing David, who was saved by Arasaka Corporation, and reuniting with Lucy?"

"You guys are good at thinking. But I can tell you clearly now, it's impossible! The most important thing about this drama is the fate of these cyberpunks. Maine, Kiwi, David, Rebecca, all died, and that's what fits the story's theme."

"Then why didn't Lucy die?"

"So the reason why she didn't die is because it's the result of everyone's joint efforts in this drama! This is a TV series, it's impossible to let the protagonist sacrifice their life for nothing. In fact, Lucy probably won't be able to escape for long! Can going to the moon really escape Arasaka Corporation's pursuit?"

"Damn it, I can't catch my breath from crying. Su Yan, you old thief, come out quickly, don't pretend to be dead!"

"Make a second season, quickly, let David and Lucy reunite!"

"So, is no one discussing the movie The Garden of Words? It seems to be a movie starring Su Yan, the old thief, and Gu Qingyuan, released on July 31st, it feels quite interesting!"

"I don't have time tonight, I want to mourn for David. I'll go study the information about this movie tomorrow!"

Driven by angry emotions, fans crashed Su Yan's comment section that night.

Almost all the fans were complaining about how brain-dead the script was for letting so many people die in the end.

Massive amounts of emotional value flew towards Su Yan.

But fans scolded him, but the rating of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners soared to 9.6 overnight.

It's normal for the audience's emotions to be irrational at this moment.

But if you really let them rate it, they definitely wouldn't be able to give it a low score.

Because the touching moments that Lucy, David, Rebecca, and Maine brought them were real.

Su Yan may not be human, but Edgerunners is indeed a masterpiece without a doubt.

This ending, although it abused everyone to the point where they couldn't speak, but if you let the audience think of other endings to replace it, it would be too cliché compared to the scene of Lucy seeing David's illusion on the moon!

You can only scold Su Yan, you can't scold the drama!
