Is this cartoonist mentally ill?

The movie version of "Edge Walker" does not exactly follow the comic plot. Nolan has his own ideas. He has never been a director who does ordinary things.

The comic begins with Lin Qingshan using V's description of Night City from the original game promotional video, and then a cybermaniac equipped with the military prosthetic body "Sian Stanway" attacks the police NCPD of Night City.

But at the beginning of the movie, we come directly to...

After the protagonist David joins Mann's team, he performs a mission as a cyberpunk.

The little David played by Mr. Tao gave Lin Qingshan a strange feeling. He always felt like he was watching Captain America.

But Mr. Tao’s version of David is really cute, he is Mr. Tao after all.

David used the military prosthetic body "Sian Stanway" to show off his skills. In a very high-intensity gun battle, he finally used his time-stopping ability to help Mann, Lucy and others directly destroy the opposite Maelstrom Gang.

David even interacted with Lucy, played by Scarlett Johansson, after the mission.

It's just that Lucy seems a little cold to him now.

After this thrilling mission, David monologue introduced the settings of cyberpunk, night city and prosthetic transformation.

Accompanied by exciting movie background music, this crazy science fiction world is unfolded in front of the audience.

"In this world, everyone is pursuing prosthetic body modification. The brain is connected to a computer warehouse that can hack into the network, a prosthetic lung that can increase the breathing rate, a prosthetic arm that is as powerful as a crane..."

"But everyone seems to be crazy... This city is a paradise for crazy people."

"It should be said...a cyberpunk paradise."

…

Then the plot continued to develop. Mann and other teams received a mission from Tanaka, and forces such as military prosthetics and Arasaka Corporation also began to appear.

At the same time, in the plot, David's previous events that have never been explained also emerge in David's memories.

The terrible Black Mewtwo, the origin of the military prosthetic "Sean Stanway", the dispute with Tanaka's son, the accidental death of his mother Gloria, David's installation of the military prosthetic "Sean Stanway"...

The beginnings of these comics are all narrated in David's subsequent reminiscences.

In some places, Nolan has made original works, while in other places, Nolan still uses Lin Qingshan's comic plots.

In the first half of "Edgewalker", except for the occasional pain that David recalled, it was basically all happiness.

Mann, Dolio, Pyrrha, Rebecca, Qiwei, Falco and other partners took David and of course the heroine Lucy.

These cyberpunks, people who walk on the edge of the law, spend their illegally obtained money wantonly after completing tasks one after another. It can be said that they are extremely cool and happy to take revenge.

The first half of the movie has a relaxed and happy atmosphere, just like it is a family-friendly popcorn movie.

Until... suddenly the death of one of the companions, Pyrrha.

Here Nolan has adapted it again. Originally, Pyrrha's death in the comics was just that the team met a homeless man when they went out for fun.

Pyrrha didn't take it seriously and stepped forward to provoke him. Unexpectedly, the homeless man was a cybermaniac and killed Pyrrha directly.

This time, the team had just completed Tanaka's mission. On the way back, an exhausted Pyrrha met this inconspicuous homeless man and wanted him to go away and stop peeing on their equipment warehouse.

As a result, the tramp suddenly killed Pyrrha.

Also after a difficult battle, they killed the homeless man.

At the same time, Lucy also felt David's feelings and had a series of famous scenes.

Kissing under the moon.

Gu Qianli watched David and Lucy kissing passionately on the big screen, accompanied by romantic BGM.

She blushed slightly, and then she glanced at Lin Qingshan, who was watching fascinatedly.

The light of the movie hit his face, making it look really... nice.

Suddenly a bold idea came to her mind. She slowly turned her head over and landed on Lin Qingshan's shoulder.

Lin Qingshan was also watching David and Lucy kissing on the big screen at this time. Looking at this scene, he suddenly remembered... Gu Qianli who was beside him.

Since the last graduation ceremony incident, he has somewhat understood Gu Qianli's intentions.

It's just...he hesitated.

In this world, Gu Qianli is a friend he has known for a long time.

How long has it been...it has been five years since I came to this world...almost six years.

And Gu Qianli has been with him for almost six years.

Gu Qianli is a very outstanding girl. She is good-looking, has a good family background, and has a good personality. Moreover, she also likes to read comics and anime.

It's completely the same topic as Lin Qingshan.

So doesn’t Lin Qingshan like Gu Qianli?

Like...but he's timid.

Is a person like him really suitable to be a husband and a father?

Lin Qingshan was a little at a loss.

But just then...

He felt a gentle touch on his shoulder and smelled the familiar aroma on the tip of his nose.

He instantly stiffened.

"Am I really worthy of traveling thousands of miles away?"

Lin Qingshan thought to himself again with some inferiority complex.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, how could a successful cartoonist like him have low self-esteem?

Not to mention that he was the youngest doctor with a double degree in the Republic.

Lin Qingshan is now a diamond king with both fame and fortune and good looks.

But no one knows that his comics were copied, and his abilities also come from the system.

And he also knows that his personality and thinking are flawed.

So how could he possibly be worthy of Qianli...

The more Lin Qingshan thought about it, the more inferior he felt, but at this moment...

Suddenly, the system panel that only he could see was unfolded in front of him.

Lin Qingshan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't call the system master, and he didn't even think of asking the system master to come out.

How did the system master come out by himself?

But at this moment, the familiar cold voice of the system master appeared.

"Host, please believe in yourself. The host is the most perfect host this system has ever seen."

There seemed to be some warmth in the voice of the system master, saying, "The host will not be complacent because he copied the work, thinking that it is his own work, and he does not have a strong utilitarianism. The host only has the heart to share the work he likes, so the host, you are not a flawed person, you are better than anyone else."

Lin Qingshan blinked his eyes immediately, and he was a little at a loss.

The system master suddenly came out just to say this to him?

But what it said... Although Lin Qingshan felt warm in his heart, he was still hesitant.

At this moment, the system old Deng said again coldly, "Miss Gu Qianli's happiness is not to find a perfect high-quality male as a partner. Her happiness has always been the host you."

Then the system old Deng said nothing more, and the panel shrank back directly.

Lin Qingshan listened to the last sentence of the system old Deng, and suddenly realized something.

Could it be that Qianli now just hopes to find someone better than Lin Qingshan?

Human happiness... is not necessarily the pursuit of the highest quality of life.

Sometimes, human happiness is just the person or life in front of you.

Just like Lin Qingshan himself, he has a system, and he can obviously become a master of Chinese painting, or even a scientist who changes the world, and enjoys extremely high power and status.

But he just wants to live his own life, draw his favorite comics, and share them.

So he thinks that Gu Qianli is happy only when she is with someone better than him. Is this really the happiness that Gu Qianli wants?

And what is he hesitating about...

Doesn't he like Qianli too?

What's there to hesitate about when they are running towards each other?

So... Lin Qingshan looked at the big movie screen in front of him, but slowly leaned towards Gu Qianli, and at the same time, his hand slowly grasped Gu Qianli's hand.

Gu Qianli originally regretted it a little, feeling... she was a little too sudden.

What if Lin Qingshan was disgusted? Or was he afraid of it, and ignored her for a long time?

But suddenly she felt the slender right hand of Lin Qingshan stretched out, slowly holding her hand.

At the same time, Lin Qingshan also leaned against her, and the two seemed to be snuggling together.

Her heart, which was hanging in the air, immediately surged with joy. Sure enough... Qingshan also liked her.

And they finally confirmed their relationship, right?

Gu Qianli felt happy.

After confirming his feelings, Lin Qingshan couldn't help but feel grateful to the system Lao Deng who had just jumped out to persuade him.

He could feel the care for him in the cold voice of the system Lao Deng.

But he didn't know that it was because of him that the system began to have human-like emotions.

The system has actually experienced many hosts, but those hosts basically stopped working hard after completing about half of the mission.

Or they found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not complete the subsequent 500 million person-time progress, so they gave up.

Originally, the system had no emotions or thoughts. It was created for this purpose.

If the purpose is not completed in the end, it will continue to wander in various multiverses.

No friends, no other purpose, no emotions.

Until it met Lin Qingshan.

With Lin Qingshan's Buddhist character, he should be lying down now.

But... Lin Qingshan still didn't give up.

And it was not for himself, but for... it?

And he called it Lao Deng very affectionately, which made it seem that something had never been born before.

Just like Xiao You in "Parasyte".

So it was indeed right. For it, Lin Qingshan was the best human it had ever met in multiple universes.

So it wanted Lin Qingshan to get his own happiness.

At this moment, Lin Qingshan and Gu Qianli snuggled up to each other under the big screen and watched the movie "Edgewalker".

After the extremely touching Mann Death Battle, David awakened and became the team leader. Then, cyberpsychosis began to emerge, the Cybertron plan appeared, Lucy's life story was revealed, Faraday was attacked, Qi Wei betrayed...

At the end of the movie, Nolan left a suspense like "Inception".

That is, David's mutilated body that was killed by Adam's hammer...was recovered by Arasaka Corporation and even came to a laboratory.

A series of numbers and extremely tense background music, the movie ended, and the list of leading actors and production staff began to be released.

After that, the preview of "Edgewalker" received 100% praise in the Republic!
