Is this cartoonist mentally ill?!

Chapter 30 heated discussion among comic book fans

Fan Siwei didn't react until he finished reading the entire episode.

"Huh? Is Pilar dead now????"

Fan Siwei said incredulously.

Although Pilar was generally mean, and once she even put her arm around Lucy's shoulders in front of David.

But Pilar never made things difficult for David or went against David.

And everyone can really see that there is really nothing between Pilar and Lucy.

As a member of the team, most of edgerunner's fans do not hate Pilar and, at worst, are indifferent to him.

Fan Siwei even liked the pillar because he liked Rebecca, a beautiful girl with two ponytails who was moody and adored the whole house.

But even comic book fans who have no interest in the character of Pilar can't help but be perplexed to see Pilar being killed off so suddenly.

What is it!

A supporting character was killed off by one... bum?

Well, it's not just a bum either.

Pilar saw that the prosthetic body installed on the homeless man was very strange, and even said "it seems to be a very powerful chip," which proved that the homeless man was definitely not simple.

There is also the iconic "eye tremor" and Maine's conscience, which proves that the homeless man is actually a cybermaniac!

But even so, it's still strange!

Especially in the first half of this chapter, it still feels like the years are peaceful.

Obviously the protagonist has just joined the team a short time ago. According to the normal routine, this period is not a "safety period"?

The protagonist must grow slowly with the team. Later, when facing a powerful enemy, the supporting characters will sacrifice themselves to protect the protagonist.

Then the protagonist becomes more powerful.

This is the routine of normal comics!

However, "edgerunner" does not follow any routine!

The death of the protagonist's mother was not routine last time, but this time Pilar's death is even more inexplicable!

Fan Siwei first noticed that the cartoonist named Qingshan, who drew this comic, looked a little... unusual.

It can even be considered a madman!

Right now, there are a lot of people who have the same idea as him.

…

At this time, in the penguin group of the "Shanghai Science Fiction Hobby Group".

King of Force:: "Holy shit!"

King of Force: "did you watch the last episode of "edgerunner"?"

King of Force: "what's going on with this sudden death?"

Zhou Wenwei only bought the latest issue of "Comic World" magazine in the newsstand at this time.

He is not a reader who signs directly at the post office the long-term magazine delivery service "Comic World", so he buys directly at the magazine stand near his home.

Therefore, the moment when he saw the last serialization of "edgerunner" is obviously not read yet.

No, by the way, he bought a magazine. He just got home and turned on his computer to log in to Penguin. He poured a cup of Coca-Cola before planning to read the latest serialization of "edgerunner".

However, I suddenly saw a message from my friend in the group, The King of Force.

He couldn't help but feel a little confused and typed quickly.

The man with a degree in science and engineering: "who died?"

King of Force: "Pilar is dead."

Pilar?

Of course, Zhou Wenwei remembered that this was Rebecca's brother, the grumpy lolita and the "technical expert" who asked David to give her the golden hand prosthesis.

Is Pilar dead?

How did you die? An enemy appeared?

The Arasaka company David always wanted?

At this time, the members of the group were already talking about it.

Seeing this, Zhou Wenwei quickly turned around and turned off the computer monitor.

"No, I want to finish this plot myself!"

He took a deep breath and said.

If someone else spoils this plot in advance, it will not make sense for him to read.

He paid for this issue of the magazine, so he couldn't waste it like that!

Then Zhou Wenwei opened the magazine directly and began to read the latest serial issue of"edgerunner".

Like most "edgerunner" fans, he was initially immersed in the ambiguous relationship between David and Lucy, as well as his friendship with his older brother Maine and the rest of the team.

The plot of the first half of the episode is warm and beautiful, mixed with ambiguity and friendship between men.

However, in the second half of the comics, a stupid homeless character suddenly appears who urinates on the street.

Just when Zhou Wenwei was confused, in the next scene, Pilar went to tease the homeless man, and suddenly he was shot in the head!

"Holy shit!"

He got scared and said involuntarily.

This is not a homeless man, he is a cybermaniac!

Then came the sudden scene of battle. Faced with the super ability of David's military prosthetic body "sandevistan", the homeless man was first shot with a bloody hole by David with a firearm.

But in the comics, David was only painted with blood splattered all over his body and a bloody hole in front of him.

But he did not draw where the bloody holes were in the homeless man's body.

However, this is a misleading picture. Comic book fans who saw this picture must have thought that the homeless man was shot in the head.

But when David asked Lucy if she was okay, the barrel of a prosthetic gun appeared above her head.

Zhou Wenwei was so frightened that he began to break into a cold sweat.

Damn it! Instead of shooting the homeless man in the head, David shot him in the neck!

Now that the homeless man is still alive, David is in danger!

Fortunately, the older brother Maine was experienced enough and dealt a strong and direct blow to get rid of the homeless man.

This made Zhou Wenwei relieved.

As expected from the older brother of the team, he is really knowledgeable and safe!

However, after watching this plot, Zhou Wenwei finally understood why the King of Force said these words just now.

"Was Pilar inexplicably killed by a cybermaniac like this???"

Zhou Wenwei was stunned.

"No... why... that... what is the purpose of this plot?"

Zhou Wenwei could not understand, could not understand anything.

He only turned on the computer monitor at this time, and the group was already seething with conversation.

Only a moment passed, and hundreds of messages had already passed.

The end of science is theology: "David does not yet have enough experience, so he does not even decide to shoot in the head."

Rabbit squeaked obediently: "is he a cybermaniac? I really thought he was just homeless."

Soldier of the Galactic Empire: "to put it mildly, this is the first time David has killed anyone."

King of Force: "mainly from this point of view, there are a lot of cybermaniacs in Night City."

It's you, The Immortal: "how could you think so much about killing someone for the first time?"

It's you, the Immortal: "and who knew that the homeless man wouldn't be dead even with a big hole in his neck?"

bird being tricked into online dating: "I think this author has a serious brain disease."

…

It has been a long time since Zhou Wenwei saw such a lively group, although this group is large.

But because of time and the burden of life, some of the old friends of the group ceased to be active.

The only generally active people are Zhou Wenwei, Liang Zhiyuan, bird being tricked into online dating.

But it's not that these people don't like science fiction at all. Those who really do not like science fiction anymore have already withdrawn from the group.

Most of these old friends in the group usually just peek at the screen and quietly dive in, without speaking.

I will still read the works that are much discussed in the group.

But I did not expect that today because of the plot of "edgerunner" these old friends of the group would be so active!
