But in the Edgewalker animation, he is the absolute protagonist.

Moreover, when he appears, he is a restless high school student.

You will go to an underground prosthetic doctor to experience these illegal super dream scenes.

He has a pretty warm family.

The mother is an employee in the police department responsible for handling the aftermath of the incident in the story world.

She is fair-skinned and beautiful, a standard pretty aunt. She lives frugally and is on call 24 hours a day, just to make money for her son David. He successfully graduated from Arasaka Academy and climbed to the highest place in Night City.

On Arasaka Tower!

In the animation, this is a pun. The meaning of climbing to Arasaka Tower is that David’s mother hopes that after graduation, he can join the most powerful corporate organization in Night City, Arasaka Company, work in Arasaka Tower, and become a real master. For this reason, she worked hard to provide for her son to study.

In the later part of the animation, David literally climbed to the top of Arasaka Tower.

[The washing machine stopped again. Did you forget to recharge? ] David said speechlessly.

[Forgot about me again] David’s mother said, covering her head.

The brief two-sentence conversation also made Luo Wei realize it.

This family has no money.

At least David's mother is definitely a moonlighter.

Another setting is that in this world, everything costs money. In the apartment they rent, even the use of the washing machine has to be charged regularly, a world where money is paramount.

The protagonist David leaves home. On the way from his home to Arasaka Academy, those who don't have money to live in apartments fight in the street, urinate and defecate, and sleep in trash cans.

This...is the bottom floor of Night City.

And out of the slum area.

Beautiful city construction, tall buildings, blue sky, and.

Spotless ground and urban skytrain.

David, although his family was very poor, his mother still tried her best to let him study in a school in such a core area.

In order to save money, David used pirated software for his teaching, which caused the school equipment to be damaged by the pirated software virus and offended the son of the college dean.

His mother came to school to help him deal with his funeral.

Families that are already in financial difficulties will now have to pay more for equipment damage.

Seeing this, Luo Wei roughly understood the world view setting of this Night City.

To be honest, it kind of took his breath away.

[I can take a break from school and work early, etc. As long as you are poor, you cannot be taken seriously. No matter how hard I study, I will never be like them, nor do I want to be like them. 】In order to reduce the burden on his mother, David took the initiative to talk to his mother in the car.

[Then why have I been working so hard? 】My mother was driving the car, her voice suddenly choked with sobs, and tears suddenly flowed from the corners of her eyes.

[You are so smart and talented, that’s why I work hard to make money for you to study at Arasaka Academy. If you don’t want to study anymore, what should I do? I want you to become an elite and climb to the top of Arasaka Tower. I know you have this talent]

[I'm sorry, don't cry. ] David's eyes became solemn and at a loss, and he immediately changed his words to comfort his mother.

When Luo Wei saw this, he suddenly fell silent. This plot... was so heavy.

Unlike ordinary animations with relaxed plots, the animation of Cyberpunk Edgewalker has been depicting the deformities of the beautiful city of Night City from the beginning to the present.

The mother and son continued talking in the car about going to school.

However, the life of mother and son, which was already difficult, unexpectedly happened at this moment.

On the street, gangs organized a fight, and the speeding bullets turned the car David and David were riding into a hornet's nest.

The car driven by David's mother overturned on the spot, and her mother was seriously injured.

However, the city's search and rescue team, which arrived within a minute, failed to rescue David's mother at all. Because her mother had no money to buy an insurance package, she was simply treated as garbage and left to die.

Even contact the corpse truck directly.

When Luo Wei saw this, he felt inexplicable anger.

She's not dead yet. Which body transport truck should your search and rescue team and trauma team contact?

Are you just going to die like this?

What kind of night city is this? What kind of ghost city is it?

David struggled to carry his mother's seriously injured body to a small clinic, but he had to raise his mother's medical expenses before he could finally treat his mother.

After ordering a cheap treatment package, David began to sell the microchips that were his mother's relics to collect medical expenses.

Then among his mother's belongings, he found Sean Westan, the prosthetic body of the muscular man in Mewtwo he had experienced before.

The dean's son who was disliked in school was beaten violently with the implanted kung fu skill chip, and then in the afternoon

This message was the only thing left for him in the small clinic where his mother was seeking medical treatment.

dead

dead

In just one day, he was expelled from school and his mother died in a car accident due to a gang fight.

He was even beaten up in school by the dean's son using a Kung Fu chip implanted into him.

This encounter.

"It's too miserable." Luo Wei blinked.

Looking at David's motionless eyes in the animation, in the afternoon, he saw the urn of the incident at the clinic.

His mother, who was chatting with him about life yesterday, is now just a pile of ashes in this box.

Despair, Luo Wei really felt despair.

But then, the animation also hinted through various means that the clinic where David's mother was treated had problems and cooperated with the organization Scavenger, which illegally traded human body parts.

This information made Luo Wei have various associations.

No way.

Was David's mother killed on purpose?

Just because she had no money, she used pirated software, was called in by her parents, and then her mother was killed on the way back.

Because she had no money, she was bullied by people in school.

Because she had no money to go to a big hospital, she was sent to a small clinic, and eventually her mother was killed.

Even if the trauma team rushed to the gang fight scene as soon as possible, they would only rescue those who bought insurance. For David's mother, who did not spend a lot of money to buy insurance, they would not even send her to the hospital on the way.

This city is extremely indifferent.

Now that his mother is dead, David can't even go home. Because to enter the house, he has to pay the outstanding bills at home.

Now he has to raise money to bury his mother.

And the classmate named Shengnan who hated him in the academy and was the son of the dean, who beat David, got the news of David's mother's death from the school at this time, and deliberately sent a voice message to mock him.

[Your mother worked so hard to let her baby son go to school, but she died in an accident. It's really meaningless.]

This is the cyberpunk worldview.

At the end of the first episode of the animation, David looked at the bloody spine prosthesis that his mother secretly hid at home through her position as a logistics officer in the police department.

Sian Westin.

His clear boyish eyes changed. Became firm and indifferent.

Came to the store of the underground prosthesis merchant.

[It's you! David!] The prosthesis doctor said with a smile.

[Are you finally going to sell it? Your mother's relic Sian Westin. ]

[I want to take it] David looked at the bloody Sian Westin on his hand, and then pointed it at himself.

The previous operator of it died of cyberpsychosis because of excessive use.

The protagonist David can no longer care about these things at this moment.

[I want to put it in my body. ]

Cyberpunk Edgewalker, the first episode is over.

Luo Wei looked at the screen of the ending song, and at this moment, he was still very sad.

From the beginning to the end of the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker, there was no exciting plot, and the protagonist was abused throughout the whole process, but all his abuse was ultimately just to make the protagonist determined to do this at this moment.

Selling the lost prosthesis on the muscle man that the whole city is looking for now, there is no way to bring the mother back, but implanting this prosthesis is different.

The protagonist knows very well that without power, even if he sells the prosthesis at this moment and collects money to help bury his mother, it is meaningless.

David is ready to avenge the son of the dean who insulted and mocked her dead mother and beat him up.

Luo Wei let out a long breath

After watching this episode, he couldn't judge this animation, because the plot has not been fully unfolded, and he doesn't know the subsequent development of the animation, but at least in terms of animation painting and the foreshadowing of the world view...

He praised it.

This cyberpunk two-dimensional style is so cool.

And the cruel world built in it is sad enough just to watch it.

But the plot is a bit too depressing. I hope the protagonist can encounter some happy things in the next episode. This is too miserable.

Around 12 o'clock in the evening, TV1 in Shanghai announced the results of Edgewalker.
