Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

Good guy, here comes the heavyweight issue.

He even directly asked Lin Qingshan if "Edgewalker" was going to end tragically from the beginning.

This is an idea that all "Edgewalker" comic fans are curious about, and at the same time, this question is not easy to answer.

No matter what reply Lin Qingshan gives, it will easily arouse discussion among comic fans.

Hey, this host is really good at asking this kind of question.

Comic fans were very satisfied that the host could ask such a question. They originally thought that this interview session was just a boring pre-book signing program.

But now it seems that some of them look good.

In fact, during the interview session of the book signing, all interview questions, including the question asked by the host just now, were informed to Lin Qingshan and Ayumi Ito in advance.

So Lin Qingshan and Ito Ayumi were not too surprised.

They already knew the questions and prepared the answers well in advance.

But comic fans don’t know that.

All the comic fans at the scene were curious about Lin Qingshan’s answer.

Lin Qingshan picked up the microphone, but first...

"Hey, hey, can everyone hear me?"

The sound spreads out through the speakers, which is especially obvious in this venue.

Everyone, including the host, has black lines on their faces. Isn’t it obvious that you can hear what you are saying?

Gu Qianli in the audience had no choice but to hold his forehead, Qingshan... although the inspection report clearly stated that he was not mentally normal.

But this is in public...can't we be a little more normal?

Lin Qingshan himself is also very strange. If you say that he is not mentally normal, that is indeed not normal.

But he is different from ordinary mental patients and will not be annoying all the time.

Only the occasional behavior is shocking.

To put it simply, Lin Qingshan suffers from intermittent illnesses and is considered a normal person most of the time.

"Ahem, Teacher Aoyama, there's nothing wrong with our microphone."

The host couldn't stand it anymore and asked.

The main interview session cannot be delayed for too long. The most important part of this autograph session is the autograph session.

"That's it..."

Lin Qingshan cleared his throat and said, "Yes, in fact, "Edge Walker" was destined to end in tragedy from the beginning."

Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Because in the world of cyberpunk, all tragedies are doomed, and people are born to be squeezed. But in the world of cyberpunk, humans will be squeezed even more thoroughly."

"Even if David doesn't choose to become a cyberpunk, even if he eventually graduates from Arasaka Academy and becomes a member of Arasaka Company."

"His fate will still not be any better, but will be even more miserable."

"At Arasaka Company, he also has to work 16 hours a day, relying on various stimulants all year round, taking no more than 5 days of vacation each year, and has to take out a loan to buy a prosthetic body and buy medical insurance for the trauma team. protect yourself."

"It's still impossible for him to live for too long in this state. Even if there are no other accidents, let alone accidents that can happen at any time in Night City, someone like Gloria can easily be involved in a fight between terrorists and lose her life. It’s everywhere.”

"In this environment, individual tragedy is doomed."

"And even if David and Lucy defeat Adam Hammer, where can they escape when faced with the power of Arasaka Corporation all over the world?"

"So why not let David cause a scene in Arasaka Tower in exchange for Lucy's survival, and at the same time become an everlasting legend of Night City!"

After Lin Qingshan finished speaking, it immediately aroused deep thought among the comic fans at the scene.

Yes, in that desperate world context, where can David and Lucy escape to.

Even if he escapes, he is just lingering.

It is better to fight vigorously and leave a glorious and great legend before death.

"Okay, thank you teacher for giving us the answer."

The host quickly said, "The creative concept is really deafening. This may also be the reason why "Edge Walker" is loved by so many comic fans."

"Then next, I would like to ask the editor-in-chief, Miss Ayumi."

He looked at Ito Ayumi again and said, "You are Mr. Aoyama and the editor of "Edge Walker". So, how did you feel when you first saw the work "Edge Walker"?"

"When I saw the work "Edge Walker", I thought... the setting was very rare and bold, and the plot was also very interesting."

Ayumi Ito replied eloquently, "...so I chose to come down."

"Very good. Thank you, Miss Bumi, the editor, for your speech."

The host looked at Lin Qingshan again and asked, "Teacher Qingshan, as we all know, there is a setting in "Edge Walker" called cyberpsychosis."

"I have seen Teacher You's written interview before, explaining that cyberpsychosis is not only the cause of prosthetic body erosion of nerves, but also pressure from the outside world. Teacher, can you elaborate on the setting of cyberpsychosis? "

"Cyber ​​psychosis..."

Lin Qingshan thought for a while and said, "As I said before, the cyberpunk worldview in "Edge Walker" creates a deformed social environment that puts great pressure on the people living in that society."

"Especially in Night City, almost everyone suffers from anxiety, depression, and manic mental illness."

"And prosthetic transformation has aggravated their unstable mental state. And why does the more they accept prosthetic transformation, the higher the chance of developing cyberpsychosis?"

"Even David and Mann are not immune. This is because prosthetic transformation blurs the biological boundaries and blurs the cognitive boundaries of human body and self-awareness."

"For example, if you have prosthetic legs, your legs will no longer feel tired while running. If you have prosthetic lungs, you will no longer have the feeling of shortness of breath."

"The transformation of the prosthetic body is accompanied by the peeling off of the original body, so that you can no longer feel your existence as a human being. Everything in your body can be replaced. Gradually, even your own existence and your own soul become blurred. Qing, starting to feel numb.”

"Naturally, in this case, human consciousness will fall into the endless abyss, no longer able to distinguish the difference between reality and illusion, and become a cyber madman."

Everyone heard Lin Qingshan's quite reasonable speech and thought about it carefully, cyberpsychosis is really like this.

Otherwise, it would be unexplainable why even a unique being like David would eventually turn into a cybermaniac as his prosthetic body was transformed to a higher level.

"So cyberpsychosis is actually a mental illness. The reason why Lucy can bring back David's consciousness is because the relationship between her and David is deep enough. Human emotions are the anchor that maintains the existence of the human soul, so... "

Lin Qingshan paused here, "Love is the highest standard of immunosuppressant."
