When Haruto Yamamoto first saw Ren "take off" in the video, he almost couldn't help but spit out the milk tea in his mouth.

Now he understood that Silverhand was not in a normal mental state...

But he was a genius.

Not only did he draw manga, but he also created video games.

At least in the past two months, Ren's powerful ability not only convinced him, but also the employees of various departments in the company.

Especially Kenji Nakamura, the former general manager of the development department.

At that moment, he completely believed in Ren.

He even changed his name to "Amamiya-sensei".

He even claimed that there was absolutely no technical problem in the world that Amamiya-sensei couldn't solve.

And Amamiya-sensei's name also spread throughout Hyperion Game Development.

Everyone was completely convinced of Ren's ability.

So, Ren was a genius.

But now it seems... Although he is a genius, he is not mentally normal.

'Is this the price of being a genius?' Haruto Yamamoto didn't quite understand.

However, at that moment, the group members saw Haruto Yamamoto's reply.

Everyone felt a little strange.

Scientist and Engineer: "Force, do you know Silverhand?"

King of the Force replied: "Yes, I know him in person, through work."

Galactic Empire Soldier: "Damn it, Force is hidden... Tell me, is that really Silverhand in this video?"

Haruto Yamamoto hesitated, but he thought about it and figured Ren wouldn't mind.

King of the Force replied: "Yes, it's him."

Scientist and Engineer: "It really is... But is he really mentally ill?"

King of the Force replied: "Well... He doesn't seem normal, but I prefer to call him a genius."

"Is he a genius?"

Kenji Tanaka laughed, looked at the latest issue of "Manga World Gogo" magazine, and said: "Indeed, anyone who can create a manga like "Edgerunners" is a genius."

He opened the magazine directly and, setting the group aside, immersed himself in the plot of the new episode of "Edgerunners".

Episode 22, "Contradiction".

A very normal episode title, without any striking points.

Following the plot of the previous episode, Maine and David had a small conflict.

Maine returned to the room and, under the dim light, sat on the sofa looking very lonely.

"I've come this far..."

His face was firm and determined. "It's impossible to downgrade the prosthetic now."

"I've worked so hard to get this far, why?"

But he finally said this sentence with disappointment.

Yes, why has he worked so hard to get this far?

Many adult manga fans who watched this felt a little sad.

Yusuke Sato observed the plot of this episode and felt that Maine's character was him.

He worked so hard for so long, but still achieved nothing.

So, why had he come this far? The scene returned to David, and David returned to the room where Dolio and Lucy were.

But at that moment, Dolio and Lucy were arguing.

"...We only have until tomorrow morning, you know?"

The information in Tanaka's neural network must be obtained before tomorrow morning; otherwise, the people from Arasaka Corporation will come looking for them.

Kiko was injured by Maine, who was ill, and sent to the hospital.

Now, the only person on the team who can infiltrate Tanaka's neural network and obtain information is Lucy, the backup hacker.

But Lucy flatly refused.

She even mentioned "Arasaka Corporation" and her hands trembled.

"Do you understand? It's from Arasaka..."

Lucy was scared, although she didn't know why, but it was clear that she was very frightened.

David, who saw all this and was just slapped by Maine, felt resentment.

He said: "Give up and let's go home, Lucy, don't force yourself."

Dolio, as expected, was unwilling, and she and David argued.

In the middle of the argument, Lucy looked at her hands, which were still trembling, as if she had already made a decision.

"You can't escape forever," Dolio said to David excitedly.

But Lucy pulled David out of the hallway and pressed him against the wall.

However, her first sentence confused David and the manga fans.

"David... Tell me, I can do it."

Lucy looked at David and said:

"Huh? I thought you just..."

"Tell me! I can do it!"

Lucy looked at David, and her beautiful eyes still reflected uncontrollable fear.

"You have no idea what Arasaka is like!"

"They never stop watching us!"

Next, a series of frosted black and white images from some unknown location.

It seemed that Lucy's past memories made her avoid and fear it.

When Kenji Tanaka saw this scene, he immediately understood that Lucy's past must have a story.

"We can't give up! We have no choice!"

"I know perfectly well!"

"But... if you tell me... I'll do it... "Lucy said tremblingly.

Then... they asked David to give her confidence?

David instantly understood, he lowered his gaze. "I'm sorry, Lucy, I..."

But he finally said: "I know you can, just go for it! Lucy!"

Lucy instantly felt great confidence, so when she and David returned, she agreed to Dolio without hesitation.

Dolio was a little unbelievable.

But Lucy had one request: that Maine, who might relapse into cyberpsychosis, could not intervene, and that only David could stay by her side.

Dolio and Maine, naturally, agreed.

The action continued, Lucy put on a tight black customer service suit, and then, with David's company...

she tore off the hidden Velcro at the back of her neck, revealing the "deep dive interface" on her back.

Then she entered the ice pool to dissipate the heat.

David was a little confused. "Lucy... why do you want to hide the deep dive interface?"

However, Lucy chose to avoid the subject; her eyes still reflected fear and exhaustion.

"Get ready... connect..."

Seeing this, David stopped asking, and helped Lucy connect the interface.

But at that moment, after Lucy connected it, she shouted: "David..."

"What's wrong?"

David was stunned for a moment and replied.

Lucy took a deep breath and finally said nothing, just...

"I'm going to dive."

Thus, Lucy closed her eyes and entered Tanaka's neural network.

The microscopic diagram of neural electrical elements reappeared, which had previously made Kiko quite difficult.

Lucy detected the flaw at a glance: "Where there's a trap, there's a passage."

However, another image of Lucy's memory appeared, as if young Lucy was trying to escape.

Lucy was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, trying not to think about the past.

Then she extended her right hand and pointed it forward, and then she broke through a path right in front of her!
