Crossover in the Anime World

The mercenaries David was with were entering their most comfortable days, with all kinds of explosions happening. Although it was troublesome to collect the final payment, there was so much business that they could not take on all of it.

After David became rich, he naturally accelerated the transformation.

However, just when their team was on the rise, they fell into an enemy trap. In order to protect his teammates, the eldest brother suffered from cyberpsychosis and lost his mind on the battlefield.

David only knew about the symptoms of cyberpsychosis before, but this was the first time he encountered someone who was suffering from the disease. Moreover, the patient was his beloved elder brother and his guide.

For the sake of the team, he was willing to sacrifice himself, using his own life to cover his teammates' retreat and die together with the enemy.

Being the protagonist's enemy is dangerous, and being the protagonist's elder is deadly. Whether it is a parent, a teacher, or an older brother, they are all very dangerous.

Because the protagonist has to stand on his own, the person who protects him must disappear. Without someone to protect him, the protagonist has to face danger alone.

David was very sad when his eldest brother died. He thought he had a new family, but it was gone again within a few months. He was really heartbroken.

But before he could feel sad, a new task came. With his eldest brother dead, David had to take on his eldest brother's responsibility and lead the team to survive. He had to shoulder his eldest brother's chivalrous spirit and heroic spirit.

The world on the streets is full of human touch and worldly wisdom, but there is also the cruelty of life and death. Good people like Big Brother end up with nothing left.

Kusanagi Motoko watched everything. During the years she worked in Section 9, she stared into the darkest corners of society and saw many crimes that did not treat people as human beings. She also arrested many violent groups like David. To be honest, she did not sympathize with these criminals, but she had to admit that these people had their own joys and sorrows. Although they committed crimes, they were also human beings, not demons.

She also knew that Night City was such a place, divided by money. Only those with money were human beings, and those without money were not human beings. If they were not even human beings, then naturally, bad luck would only pick on the unfortunate, and a hemp rope would only break at the thinnest point.

It's pitiful, but she doesn't know how to change. If she had the ability to change, she wouldn't have come to Night City and would have changed in the island country.

Everyone is equal, but the rich are more equal. This is the consensus of Night City. Not only the rich think so, but the poor also think so. The rich live a life of luxury while the poor die on the streets. It is the responsibility of the poor to die. The rich have no obligation to do anything. This is the consensus of everyone. The rich do not owe the poor anything. This is the consensus of everyone, and this consensus is difficult to change. Because to change the consensus, we must come up with a better consensus, otherwise everything will be in vain.

The rich and the dead all agree on the annual income distinction method, even if Su Zi shouts at the top of her lungs, it's useless. So it's miserable, but this is the inevitable result of the rules of the game.

Suzi knew that David was also heading for a dead end. Suddenly, she seemed to understand Duran. Duran must have looked at Section 9 in the same way as she looked at David. Duran had long seen through the inherent contradictions of the island nation's system, which was unadjustable. The harder Section 9 tried, the worse the situation became. Duran was powerless to change, so he just watched the show and got some fun from the helpless struggle.

Now when she looked at David, she saw the inherent contradiction and helpless struggle. In the end, he might be able to send Lucy to the moon for a trip, but in the end, Lucy would most likely not live long.

Their tragedy was doomed, and it was decided when they embarked on this path. Su Zi felt powerless to face her fate, while David and Lucy lived every day as if it were their last, and they did not feel that they were tragic.

Because there are many examples of young deaths around them and they have to face death every day, so all they want is to live for the moment and not think about anything else.

Suzi also considers the future and social consensus, things that David and Lucy don't consider and don't have such ideas.

Suzi was very worried, but they didn't think it was a problem because everyone else was doing the same thing. David and Lucy were much better than those people who sold blood and took out loans at a young age.

Every society has a consensus. The consensus of the island nation is blood inheritance, and the consensus of Night City is money supremacy. This consensus has been established over a long period of time. It is difficult, too difficult to break or replace it.

So just accept it, and do as the Romans do. But Suzi still feels sad. Seeing young people living towards death and being despised all their lives, she can't help but wonder what's wrong with this society?

Unfortunately, it is useless to ask this question no matter how many times. Society is sick, who can cure it?

No one can cure it at all, so it is better to turn a blind eye and accept the reality that while the rich live in luxury, others freeze to death on the streets. Follow the rules of the game and exchange your life for money.

Everyone accepted this game silently. After all, if you don't accept the game of money, you will have to go back to the game of bloodline, which is even more meaningless.

Although the underlying color of the money game is also a bloodline game, because it is not enough to just have money, you still need a letter of introduction. If money is enough, then all the assets of Night City would have been bought by rich people long ago, and would not be controlled by three companies. They are definitely not the richest.

Although money seems to be everything, in fact, controlling the means of production is everything. That is why the concept of the proletariat came into being in the West.

Unfortunately, the West has always been a game between nobles and citizens, and there is no proletarian game where citizens and free people unite. Just like India has always been a caste system, even religions that emphasize equality under one god have to divide castes. Caste is the local consensus and the basis for cooperation between landlords in different regions. Only if they accept it can they cooperate. If they don’t accept it, they can’t cooperate.

These are essentially inherited through bloodlines. Landlords who control the ownership of land, the right to select talents, and the right to manage the economy need a standard to cooperate. First of all, they must ensure that they will not lose the three powers and then play the game under this guarantee.

So whether it is caste, Night City, or the island nation, the background is all blood, just the rules are different. This is also the reason why Western universal values ​​are promoted so quickly, because the basic foundation has not changed and everyone can accept it.

If you change to other distribution rules, and want to affect their base, they will resist to the end. This is a game that has been maintained for thousands of years, don't even think about changing it.

In this situation, although Su Zi sympathized with the young people, she could only watch them go to their death.

"Is this how Duran feels? He sees everything clearly, but is powerless and can only watch structural contradictions take away young lives? He even tries to find joy in suffering and enjoy tragedy?" Suzi feels that Duran is somewhat crazy, perhaps 'others laugh at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at others for not seeing through it'.

"Perhaps I shouldn't sympathize with them, I shouldn't have sympathy, after all, I have no responsibility to change anything." Su Zi asked herself what qualifications she had to worry about this and that? She was a traitor who was declared dead by the island nation, and her name was nailed to the island nation's historical pillar of shame.

"Just watch. This is their fate. There's no need to interfere too much." Duran suddenly appeared behind her and said, "It can be seen that you care about the two young men, especially after the death of the mercenary leader."

"At their age, they shouldn't risk their lives."

"That's wrong. If it were a few hundred years ago, people would be cleaning chimneys at the age of three, working in coal mines at the age of twelve, and dying at the age of thirty. Even now, people should be working in slaughterhouses at the age of ten, and it is normal for teenagers to commit crimes on the streets. This is a civilization with a tradition of cannibalism. There is no need to worry. The people here have a will of steel and are completely adapted to this kind of life."

Motoko also knows that the mortality rate was very high in the early days of industry and during the great voyages of discovery, but technology has developed and should benefit mankind. It can't just remain at the level of hundreds of years ago, right?
