This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 251 is shocking, extremely shocking!

Gunshots and explosions rang out one after another. Lucy kept trying to call David in the car, her eyes filled with fear, and her expression was unusually anxious and panicked.

Lucy's expression didn't change until David appeared in the passenger seat a moment later.

All the background music disappeared, and only the sound of cars driving on the Night City highway could be heard.

The light rain that had fallen all night stopped, and the sun rose again from the distant edge of the city.

Mann's death was nothing new to Night City, just another ordinary occurrence.

The camera first shows the empty back seat of Lucy's car before David appears, holding Mann's gorilla prosthetic arm.

The sunlight shone on David's blank expression, his face smeared with the grime of war.

Zhou Liming was completely stunned by Chen Yuan's nuanced acting skills.

His lifeless eyes first scanned from left to right the man he was holding—Mann's battered and bruised prosthetic arm.
Then, as if suddenly realizing something, his eyes widened. From his numb eyes, staring directly at the camera, one could almost see a variety of emotions, including self-blame, regret, guilt, and sadness.

A tear rolled down David's cheek. He knew this was not a dream, and despite his immense grief, he had no choice but to face it.

Unlike Pira, who was suddenly shot in the head by a cyberpsychotic, The Edgewalker 2 gave Mann, who was standing on the edge, an exceptionally magnificent farewell performance.

It can be said that Mann is the true protagonist of this film whose theme is faith and legacy.

Shocking, absolutely shocking!

As he watched the scrolling subtitles, Zhou Liming's mind kept replaying Dorio's death, Mann's death, and Mann's final acceptance of David.

Explosive action scenes are not solely for stimulating the release of dopamine and adrenaline in the audience's brains.

Instead, it profoundly portrays the dark world of Night City that drove a tolerant and warm-hearted older brother to the brink of cyberbullying.

If *The Edge Walker 1* is a cyberpunk-style film,

While Cyberpunk 2 didn't showcase much of the rebellious spirit, it did a remarkable job of vividly portraying the struggles and alienation of ordinary people in the cyberpunk world.

With its high-budget special effects and action sequences, coupled with the actors' superb acting skills, this film is sure to be a masterpiece worth watching repeatedly!
When "The Edge Walker 1" was released two years ago, although the chaos in Night City was unnecessary, the supremacy of capital was already blatantly displayed.

However, because of Chen Yuan's filming techniques and artistic style, many young people with limited education and experience think that the extremely 'free' atmosphere of Night City is very cool.

However, in this sequel, Chen Yuan lightly smashed this "cool" image to pieces, using the deaths of the popular Mann couple to tell the audience that Night City is not cool at all.

David took Mann's arm, signifying that he had gained Mann's approval and that David would lead Mann's team forward from now on.

Especially after the end credits, there's a post-credits scene showing him undergoing prosthetic surgery and having Mann's arm attached to his body, which directly hints at this point.

Seeing David equip himself with Mann's thick arms, instantly transforming from a naive young boy into a muscular giant, it's clear how much his strength has increased.

However, Zhou Liming quietly observed that few viewers were happy or pleased with David's growth.

In the movie, Mann's immune system became ineffective because he had too many prosthetic bodies and refused to downgrade, turning him into a cybernetic psychopath.

David now possesses a military-grade S.A.S.S.S. that even the tough soldier James couldn't afford, and he uses it without restraint.

He already has quite a few other prosthetics installed, and now he's replaced his arm with Mann's gorilla arm. David is just a high school dropout; can his body withstand this kind of exploitation?
The powerful righteousness will devour people's souls, and David is heading in the direction of the prophecy of Gehenna.

Beyond the physical, there was also the psychological impact. Ji Hei's dream of wearing black sunglasses and the death of Mann must have had a severe impact on his mental state.

His small body now bears the weight of three wishes.

His mother's wish was for David to make a name for himself in Night City;
Mann's dying wish was for David to take over and lead the team to develop well;
Lucy's wish is for David not to die and to stay by her side forever.

David is also a typical example of a confused person who lacks a strong core and needs the recognition of others to find his own value.

The responsibilities of family, friendship, and love all fell on his shoulders at this moment.

Based on some news reports outside of the film, Chen Yuan's initial conflict with Columbia Pictures executives stemmed from his unwillingness to continue developing sequels.

Chen Yuan broke his back in an accident, but even under these circumstances, he was still able to finish filming the story according to his original plan.

So what kind of story ending would fit Chen Yuan's various miraculous circumstances?

Zhou Liming is now 100% certain that in the final chapter of "The Edge Walker," David will also encounter the same problem as Mann, going insane due to continuous cybernetic enhancement and embarking on a path of self-destruction.

Even knowing the ending, he was still very much looking forward to how Chen Yuan would arrange the curtain call for David, whom he played, as well as the fate of the other members of Mann's team.

However, the other audience members were clearly not in the same good mood as Zhou Liming.

Is the movie good? Absolutely not bad.

However, this ending, compared to the ultimate romance of Lucy and David's moonlit kiss in the previous film, is quite different.
Before going completely insane, the elder brother Mann handed his prosthetic arm to David and then chose to self-destruct with the Terrorist Mobile Team, but it left people with a heavy feeling.

As the crowd slowly dispersed, Zhou Liming moved slowly, able to hear the various discussions and comments from the surrounding audience.

"Sigh, I never expected that Big Brother Mann and Dorio would die. It's such a pity."

"Nothing is surprising in Night City. Mann has turned into a cyber psychopath, unable to distinguish friend from foe, and even killed his own wife Dorio. No wonder he's completely gone mad."

"What kind of eyes do you have? Dorio was clearly shot by the NCPD who was lying on the ground. Mann didn't hit her."

"Is that so? But the scene really looked like Dorio was shot by Mann."

But Mann's rampage is truly terrifying; one punch can turn someone into a pulp.

"At the beginning of the movie, David didn't take the advanced prosthetic hand that Rebecca gave him, but instead became interested in Mann's hand."

Mann said he would give it to David after he died, and David actually got it.

In Night City, you can't joke around with anything!

"Do you think Lucy was responsible for the deaths of the Mann couple?"

"There are some factors involved. If it weren't for Mann, that stubborn bastard, having a fit of rage and sending Qiwei to the hospital, how could the tragedy have happened?"

All I can say is that the story this movie tells is inherently a tragedy.
