Is this mangaka crazy?

After David used the "Cyborg" to activate the unrivaled harvesting mode and eliminate all enemies, he planned to retreat with Rebecca, Lucy, and the others.

At least... it should be him who protects Lucy and his companions to leave there.

At that moment, David told Falco: "Falco, I have a request...".

Rebecca directly protected her inside the car and then said: "I'm glad you're okay."

But even though she said it, she obviously didn't seem very happy.

After all, she and Lucy can be considered...

rivals in love.

But Rebecca finally said: "David will be very happy."

If David is happy, she will be happy too, so, even though she and Lucy are rivals in love, she will still be very happy that Lucy returns safe and sound.

Seeing this, Kenji Tanaka couldn't help but hold some expectations.

"Then... maybe David should also take in Rebecca. Rebecca is so good!"

The manga of Japan in this parallel world are almost in the same style as Ren's previous life's earlier online novels. In their early days, there was also a kind of harem manga.

Of course, this is no longer popular.

Many people even detest this kind of infidelity.

But at that moment, "Edgerunners" fans really hoped that David would also accept Rebecca!

But...

the next image in the manga suddenly changed, and a loud noise came from the sky.

Lucy and Rebecca looked at the sky, and Rebecca was as irritated as ever.

"Don't interrupt me!"

She shot wildly into the sky.

However, the next instant, Adam Smasher's heavy hammer fell directly from the sky!

It landed heavily on Rebecca's small body! And then, from Lucy's perspective in the car, the previous scene repeated.

This is simply inhuman! The ground exploded directly, and the vehicle and floor rose, turning into ruins.

The smoke from the explosion spread, and the oppressive body of Adam Smasher slowly appeared.

At the same time, Rebecca, with her body completely shattered, appeared, leaving only her upper body and half of her head, with blood and brains splattered on the ground.

"Rebecca!" David shouted.

However, Rebecca was completely dead and did not respond.

Kenji Tanaka and other manga fans who witnessed the scene were stunned.

Rebecca... killed by Adam Smasher just like that?

Impossible! Such a sudden, such a casual death, how could it happen to such a popular supporting character at this point in the ending? However, Rebecca was indeed dead, suddenly, and she was killed by the villain who fell from the sky without resistance!

This shows the terrible strength of Adam Smasher! He emerged from the smoke and began to attack David and Falco.

Both sides activated Sandevistan at the same time and began to fight fiercely.

However, it was obvious that Adam Smasher was more powerful and had the upper hand.

At that moment, Lucy also made a move, intending to directly attack Adam Smasher's nervous system through the network.

That's it! With Lucy's help, only Adam Smasher is left! David will definitely win!

Kenji Tanaka said excitedly.

However, Adam Smasher was stunned for an instant, then looked at Lucy, grabbed her with his hand, and the data stream attacking her nervous system was caught and exploded.

"What? How is that possible?" Lucy said in disbelief.

However, due to Adam Smasher's counterattack, her system also burst into sparks and her body fell backward...

But at that moment...

A car came out from the side and caught Lucy.

The driver was Falco!

Lucy hastily exclaimed: "Falco! David... David hasn't gotten in the car yet!"

"Falco!"

However, Falco ignored Lucy and kept driving.

"I said everyone must die!"

Adam Smasher was also very angry and wanted to attack Falco and Lucy.

But at that moment...

"Now is not the time to be distracted!"

David activated the gravity technology behind him, preventing Adam Smasher from moving!

"Damn it!"

Adam Smasher turned and looked at David, saying viciously.

Although David was not stronger than him, he couldn't completely ignore David, who was wearing a "Cyborg".

Just when everyone thought Adam Smasher was going to start a fierce battle with David again...

Adam Smasher directly grabbed David's "Cyborg" and ripped off the anti-gravity prosthetic.

"Without anti-gravity technology! You're just a kid who can't even hold his own weight!"

Indeed, after his anti-gravity prosthetic was removed, David couldn't support himself, and the prosthetic collapsed along with his body.

"At this level, do you still think you're unique?"

"Don't mock me!"

Adam Smasher punched David hard, completely defeating him, and the "Cyborg" exploded along with his body, with a deafening blast.

In the car, which had already driven away, Lucy witnessed the scene from afar and, with great pain, told Falco: "Falco, go back!"

However...

"No," Falco replied firmly: "David asked me to do this. If I turn back now, his death will be in vain."

"I received the reward for this mission, and he asked us to split it equally."

The screen remained fixed on David's yellow jacket.

Everyone understood that was what David had ordered Falco.

He wanted to use his own death in exchange for the possibility of Lucy, Falco, and the others surviving.

"And he asked me to tell you..."

The screen zoomed in on David. David was no match for Adam Smasher and was getting beaten.

"I'm sorry, we can't go to the moon together."

At the same time, the classic characters and scenes from the beginning of "Edgerunners" began to repeat like a revolving lantern.

In the end, David could no longer stand, lying on the ground, and he burst out laughing.

"It's quite interesting."

At that moment, Adam Smasher looked at David, but smiled and said: "You're quite an interesting consciousness."

"I don't care... bastard."

David continued to curse with a smile.

Adam Smasher also understood, raised his arm's gun prosthetic, and aimed at David.

"In that case, goodbye forever."

A flash of white light passed, and then an image of blood splattering appeared.

David's head did not directly explode in the image, but Kenji Tanaka knew that David... was dead.

Upon seeing this, he was completely stunned.

David... the male protagonist is truly dead.

And Kiko and Rebecca, the members of the protagonist group, are also dead...

But Lucy and Falco are still alive, which is a blessing in disguise...

Suddenly, Kenji Tanaka realized: "Wait, it's not over yet? What's next?"

He continued to suppress his sadness and grief, and watched, only to see the screen move away from Arasaka Tower where David was, to Night City, and then to all of North America.

Finally, even to the entire Earth.

The screen landed on the moon.

This is...

Kenji Tanaka vaguely guessed something, and his eyes reddened.

A manned lunar rocket passed across the screen, and there were many passengers on the spaceship, one of whom... was Lucy!

"Welcome to the Moon trip, experience the lunar gravity never before seen in Black Super Dream..."

In the broadcast, she wore a spacesuit and stared fixedly at the moon outside the rocket.

After landing on the Moon, several scenes of the lunar base park appeared, where countless tourists enjoyed lunar gravity.

However, Lucy left that noisy place and came to the empty lunar surface.

She noticed the scorching sun and couldn't help but reach out to block the warm light.

However, just as Lucy's perspective gradually moved up and down from the sun...

"Great!"

David appeared in front of her!

But he wasn't wearing a spacesuit. Everyone understood that it was an illusion of Lucy.

It was impossible for David to be alive, and even more impossible for him to appear on the Moon without a spacesuit.

"How hot the sun is!"

David looked at Lucy with joy.

Lucy looked at David, who was smiling radiantly under the sun, in disbelief, and she also smiled happily.

However, David, who was initially radiant and beaming, disappeared before her in an instant.

Only the helpless Lucy remained, gazing blankly at the empty lunar surface, and then slowly opened her arms towards the dazzling sun.

It seemed she was embracing David in an illusion.

Two-sword style, Kairyū swordsmanship! "Damn it!"

Kenji Tanaka could no longer hold it in. Tears blurred his vision. He cursed: "Damn Adam Smasher, damn Arasaka Corporation, damn Cyberpunk world, damn old rogue Silverhand!"

He really couldn't hold it back anymore. He took a tissue and wiped his snot and tears.

Especially since this damn manga author had also backstabbed with two swords, he could have held back, but now he couldn't hold back at all.

However... the manga's plot is not over yet.

Only two last images remain.

A man with a shaved head whom Kenji Tanaka had never seen before appeared in a bar.

"Please order me a 'David Martinez'," the man told the bartender.

Then he took the wine that had been prepared for him, raised his glass, and said: "This drink is for Night City's eternal legend: David Martinez."

"Great in life, glorious in death."

"The end of the work."

At the same time, the next advertising page also stated:

"The animation production of "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners" has already been decided! We expect to see it early next year!"

"The spin-off game "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners" is in full production! Japan's first 3A masterpiece, a 1:1 restoration of Night City scenes and battles!"

"The demo video of the spin-off game "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners" is now available, and the official video URL is below...".

However, Kenji Tanaka did not pay attention to them at that moment. He simply closed the manga magazine and sat weakly in his computer chair.

There was no big fight, but thinking about the manga's plot, he felt... very uncomfortable.
