Chapter 65: Critical Moment

"Damn it! What happened just now!"

Mann said ruefully.

The situation on Tanaka's side is not optimistic, and it seems that he is about to die.

"Oops! It would be trouble if he dies!"

Mann said with an ugly expression.

David panicked for a moment. What... was he doing just now?

Why the hesitation?

Why is the chain lost here?

He fell into deep self-blame and panic.

On Dolio's side, David, who was still panicking, was operating the deep dive access system.

"Cheer up! David, you helped her connect, right?"

David looked at Lucy in the ice pool.

He woke up instantly, and with the cooperation of Dolio, he disconnected Lucy's deep dive connection.

But at this moment, Mann became angry when he looked at David who lost his chain at the critical moment.

"David!"

David didn't realize anything at this time. He just said happily, "Ah... Lucy's side is also..."

However, the next moment, Mann's huge slap fell directly on his face.

"David! What are you doing!"

Mann angrily questioned David.

However, David turned around and asked Mann, "Ah... what about you?"

"What are you doing?!"

"What did you say?"

Mann was stunned and asked condescendingly.

"Injuring Qiwei, causing Lucy to do it by herself... What are you doing!?"

"David...you..."

Mann suddenly felt a little guilty.

Yes...if it weren't for him...

But just then, Dolio yelled, "Mann! David!"

"When Tanaka died, the jammer exploded!"

"Signal sent to trauma team!"

This meant that the trauma team would soon be sending armed personnel to try and save Tanaka's life.

And the arrival of the trauma team is likely to attract the NCPD, the police force of Night City!

By then, they will face the siege of two major armed forces!

"hateful!"

Mann also woke up from his self-blame at this time, "David! Let's talk about it later!"

"Go get the car ready!"

David was still dazed, and Dolio, his always gentle sister-in-law, couldn't help it anymore.

She punched David in the face and said angrily, "Cheer up! David! You promised to do this job well! Then do it well!"

David was also woken up instantly, hugged Lucy and took action directly.

"We'll be there soon, you guys wait in the car!"

Mann obviously meant that he and Dolio were responsible for breaking up the rear.

"I see!"

David held Lucy in his arms and directly used the powerful time-stopping ability of "Sian Westan".

At this moment, mobile teams and hover vehicles from the trauma team arrived one after another from the sky.

“Is this what Platinum membership in the Trauma Team is like?”

Mann looked at the armed team in the sky and said.

"There are gunshots recorded in the service area, or armed personnel may appear, seeking NCPD force support."

said the armed officer on the trauma team's mobile hover vehicle.

Over there, David took Lucy to the car, and when he started the car, he even turned on the loud music.

Suddenly Lucy woke up with a start.

With the emergence of the trauma team and NCPD, the war between Mann and Dolio is about to break out.

"This is the end of this story."

"Holy shit!"

Zhou Wenwei felt numb when he saw these three words.

When I was most excited and nervous, why did you stop me here?

His mind was now filled with speculations about the next plot.

What will happen to David and the others?

Why is there David's information on the information in Tanaka's neural network?

Can eldest brother Mann and sister-in-law Dolio escape in the end?

All of this is too much room for imagination.

This made Zhou Wenwei unable to sleep or eat well.

but……

"David, this is too harmful."

Zhou Wenwei said angrily, "Why is he hesitating?"

In the eyes of these comic fans, in fact, David did not hesitate and gave Tanaka an anesthetic directly, and everything would have gone smoothly.

As a result, David was fooled by Tanaka and arrived there in a daze.

Only then did Tanaka die from behind.

Even if Tanaka will definitely die in the end, there is a difference between dying unexpectedly before the information is obtained and being killed after the information is obtained.

After obtaining the information, he was killed and disposed of by Mann and others.

Then Mann and Dolio had enough time to evacuate the area where Tanaka died and put this matter behind them.

So David's hesitation was indeed too harmful.

Lin Qingshan's previous animation "Edge Walker" was probably because all 10 episodes were released at once.

Therefore, everyone was affected by the coherent plot at that time, and did not resent David at this time, because he hesitated and killed Mann and Dolio.

But it's different when "Edgewalker" becomes a comic.

Due to the long serialization period of the comic, David's shortcomings of hesitation and death are particularly magnified at this time, and are not covered up by the advantages in the subsequent plot.

This will naturally make everyone unhappy.

As for the eldest brother Mann, he injured Qi Wei due to illness, which caused things to go wrong.

Everyone can understand this, after all, this is not a problem caused by Mann's subjective factors.

But because of that damn cyberpsychosis.

Sick...

No one wants to get sick.

Mann was the same. He didn't want to get sick and hinder the completion of the mission.

It's just that he was a little stubborn and didn't intend to change to a lighter prosthesis to slow down the onset of the disease.

However, even if Mann wanted to change to a lighter prosthesis to slow down the onset of the disease.

At this time of the mission, he certainly couldn't change it.

So is Mann wrong?

Yes.

But it can be understood and forgiven.

On the contrary, it was David's indecision that led to Tanaka's death and the arrival of the trauma team and NCPD, which is somewhat unforgivable.

At this moment, the forum about "Edgewalker" is also the same.

"If it weren't for David's hesitation, the trauma team and NCPD wouldn't have come either. Why did he hesitate?"

"This protagonist... I'm numb. Isn't this hurting others and himself?"

"I think that although big brother Mann made mistakes, he can be forgiven, but what about David? What is he doing?"

"You are so easily fooled by the enemy, you are a real tiger, brother!"

"Alas, I hope big brother can evacuate smoothly and safely. In the next episode, won't big brother risk his life to protect big sister-in-law and run out, but die himself?"

"According to the current situation... I feel that this is very likely the case. Another knife..."

"I am actually more curious about why Lucy is so afraid of Arasaka Corporation, and why there is David's information in Tanaka's system."

"Ahhhhhhhh——I feel like I'm going to die without watching the latest episode of "Edgewalker"!"

...

The forum and the comic fans began to discuss passionately. Generally speaking, there are more comments hoping that Mann and Dolio can evacuate safely.

By the way, I criticized David, the hesitant male protagonist.

At the same time, after the latest episode of "Edge Walker" was posted to the Internet, the Internet was also boiling with heated discussions.

But all this has nothing to do with Lin Qingshan, because at this time he and Pochita were accompanying Gu Qianli who had just returned to the Magic City.

After thinking about it, I decided to write some daily life and things I had thought of myself. For example, the reason why I wrote that David's story took place in 2077 at the beginning, and the protagonist made a game, was because I really wanted to make a V in the game to save David, Mann and their DLC, so I arranged it this way.

However, after listening to everyone's opinions, I decided to adjust the ratio of copying comics and daily life and other story lines to about 3:1, mainly copying comics, but daily life and other story lines are interspersed with a smaller proportion.

The comics will focus on important plots, such as the plot of Mann's death in "Edge Walker", I will portray two or three chapters, and try to pass on the others.
