This celebrity is overly enthusiastic!

Chapter 269 Sorry, I can't go to the moon with you.

David's consciousness was awakened by Lucy's kiss, and the two successfully escaped from Arasaka Tower.

In the plaza in front of the Arasaka Tower, Rebecca and Falco are struggling to hold on as the police arrive, waiting for backup.

I wonder how many viewers, who had been tortured for more than two hours, felt a renewed hope that the team might be able to escape.

But they were wrong, terribly wrong. Chen Yuan was far worse than anyone imagined.

At the height of the audience's emotions, he abruptly brought the plot to a freezing point—Adam's hammer fell from the sky and smashed Rebecca into a pulp!

Moreover, it was shown from three different perspectives, allowing the audience to watch the moment three times!

Li Xiaoyu's scalp tingled. Rebecca, she was the second female lead, a very popular second female lead, how could she, how could she just disappear like that?
But when the smoke cleared, revealing Rebecca's half-crushed body, she realized that Rebecca was truly dead.

Her death, like that of her brother Pira, was neither a grand finale nor a touching last words; it was simply a sudden turn of events, making her one of the many corpses in the film.

Zhou Liming glanced at the stunned Li Xiaoyu beside him, but he quickly recovered after a brief moment of shock.

Rebecca undoubtedly loved David, whether it was romantic love or familial love. From the various details before, it can be seen that Rebecca had long been prepared to sacrifice herself for David.

This abrupt exit is perhaps the tragedy of the cyberpunk world. This plot arrangement will surely make the audience remember this irritable, easily angered, yet kind and understanding girl.

David was forced to confront Adam Hammer, the terminator of many Night City legends.
But he was at his last gasp, and couldn't even last one round before he was vomiting blood and about to die.

This battle was completely one-sided.

Lucy, a gifted girl, was chosen by Arasaka to train Kurohawa from a young age. She tried to crack Adam's brain-computer interface but was almost killed in the process.

David did his best to use the anti-gravity device to hold back Adam's hammer, allowing Lucy and Falco to escape safely.

Adam's hammer only destroyed David's anti-gravity device; David himself was directly crushed by the weight of the prosthetic body that had previously demonstrated incredible power, capable of wiping out an elite military technology convoy!
David's fate was no longer in doubt. Some viewers in the theater who could not accept this ending left early, not wanting to see David being killed.

Lucy's heartbreaking expression as she fled, pleading with Falco to go back and save David, was poignant.
Falco drove with one hand, his expression pained as he refused Lucy's pleas and relayed David's last words.

"I'm sorry, I can't go to the moon with you."

The background music "Walking on the Moon" played again, and as Adam smashed David piece by piece with his hammer in a fit of rage, flashbacks of David's past moments began to appear on the big screen.

You meet Lucy, join Mann's team, and go on missions with everyone. Then you see familiar faces dying one by one.

David's cybernetic body was smashed by Adam's hammer, leaving David powerless to resist. This restored David to his purest form at the very beginning of the story, before he became a cyberpunk.

In just a few dozen seconds, David's entire life was encapsulated, and now he too is about to die.

Watching David smiling and cursing under Adam's heavy hammer, Li Xiaoyu's tears stopped flowing, and her mood eased slightly from the previous sadness.

Looking back at those memories that flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, David wasn't alone after losing his mother. In Night City, he met Mann's Squad, a group of close friends who considered him family, and he found his true love.

In Night City, how rare and precious is this?

The previous film, *The Edge Walker*, was criticized as simply a love story disguised as cyberpunk.

David, who was always confused, did not show any resistance or rebellion against the system, and was completely defiling the word 'cyberpunk'.

Although Li Xiaoyu also liked the movie, she had to admit that "The Edge Walker" did have such shortcomings.

But at least in this moment, David's smiling retort to Adam perfectly captured the core spirit of cyberpunk.

Faced with the corporate order and power represented by Adam, David still chose to resist and chose to face his death in his own way.

As Adam's hammer shattered David's skull, the neon-lit, magnificent corporate plaza in front of the desolate hilltop emerged from the pool of blood. It was exactly the same scene as at the beginning of the film, when the cyber-psychotic Lieutenant James went on a killing spree there.

David's death was like an everyday occurrence, causing no change to Night City.

Li Xiaoyu interpreted the scene as echoing each other, but when she wiped away her tears, she discovered that the two scenes were not exactly the same; the latter left a hole in the square.

David's death still left some mark on Night City.

No matter how powerful a regime or order may be, there will always be those who are willing to shed blood and die to break it, leaving behind their own legends.

Li Xiaoyu had long guessed that David would die, but she never expected that the ending would be so impactful.

Her heart was filled with sorrow, not because David had ultimately failed to survive, but because no matter how hard David tried or how outstanding he was, he was unable to make an effective change.

David died a dramatic death in a rather clumsy scheme, never making contact with Arasaka's higher-ups until his death.

A prominent figure in Night City in the eyes of ordinary people is nothing more than an ant among these corporate elites.

This film, though cloaked in romanticism, possesses a realistic heart.

This helplessness in the face of fate and the powerlessness to resist is what makes Li Xiaoyu sad.

As the camera rises and time passes, the scene slowly focuses from Night City to the moon.

A spaceship travels between two planets; Lucy, fulfilling David's last wish, lands on the moon alone.

That lost and sorrowful face, coupled with the once very sweet background music, really makes one's heart ache.

Thank you for joining today's lunar gravity journey, where you will experience a reality that Mewtwo cannot simulate.

The advertisements touted tourism on the moon, but Lucy avoided the crowds at the usual tourist spots and headed towards a deserted area on the lunar surface.

She faced the sun, but her eyes held the illusion that David was right in front of her.

David, who hadn't yet undergone extensive cybernetic modifications, and who had been tricked into the apartment by her but was able to open her heart and experience Mewtwo on the moon together, was now showing her a bright and cheerful smile.

Upon seeing this scene, Li Xiaoyu's lips trembled, and she could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.

Lucy's dream of going to the moon was a fantasy, but David's was real.

Lucy didn't want to let David down after all his sacrifices and efforts for her. Even though landing on the moon was no longer her dream, she still chose to go to the moon to fulfill David's last wish.

Now he's standing on the real moon, but David has become a phantom.

David hallucinated before his eyes, and he showed a hearty smile, just like when the two of them had carefree experience with Mewtwo on the moon.

Lucy, hidden beneath her spacesuit, smiled genuinely once more. The next moment, the illusion shattered, Lucy's smile froze on her face, her shock and sorrow enough to bring tears to anyone's eyes.

Lucy lowered her head, calmed herself down, closed her eyes to regulate her breathing, slowly raised her head, and spread her arms as if embracing the sunlight.

Li Xiaoyu bit her lip hard to avoid making the rustling sounds that could be heard in a movie theater.

David is like the sun, burning selflessly and letting his light shine on everything, while Lucy is like the moon, able to radiate beautiful moonlight only because of the sun's illumination.

Lucy now opens her arms to embrace the sun, which, in Li Xiaoyu's view, means opening her heart to feel the warmth from the sun and the warmth from David.

This incomplete yet pure love is so touching, so incredibly touching!
