Chapter 98: The Final Chapter

Chapter 98: The Final Chapter

Lin Qingshan opened the door, and Gu Qianli was standing right in front of it. However, behind Gu Qianli, there were two other people.

One of them was Lin You'an, whom Lin Qingshan had met before.

The other was a middle-aged man who bore a strong resemblance to Lin You'an—he looked about seventy percent similar, as if he might be Lin You'an's father.

Lin Qingshan was taken aback for a moment, then curiously asked, "Qianli, what's going on? And this uncle is...?"

Upon seeing Lin Qingshan, Lin Pinzhang became extremely emotional.

He was certain that the person in front of him was the only surviving child of his brother—Lin Yintang!

Gu Qianli had just told him that Lin Qingshan seemed to have lost his memory and couldn't remember his past.

So, it was normal that he didn't recognize him as his uncle.

"Yin… Qingshan."

Lin Pinzhang nearly couldn't stop himself from calling out "Yintang," but he quickly remembered what Gu Qianli had just told him and restrained himself from using the original name.

Still, his excitement was evident.

However, as soon as he uttered the word "Yin," Lin Qingshan suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.

He felt as if his body was out of his control, trembling slightly.

This is…

Lin Qingshan suddenly realized something. Could what Lin You'an had said earlier be true—that the original owner of this body was actually named Lin Yintang? And that Lin You'an and this middle-aged man who resembled him were his relatives?

At this moment, Gu Qianli, Lin Pinzhang, and the others also noticed that something was off with Lin Qingshan.

Lin Qingshan's face turned somewhat dazed, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Qingshan!"

Gu Qianli panicked, grabbing Lin Qingshan's trembling hands.

Could Lin Qingshan have been triggered to remember those unpleasant memories from his past?

"I'm fine."

Lin Qingshan pulled Gu Qianli's hand closer, naturally comforting her with a pat, but he didn't let go of her hand.

Feeling the warmth of Lin Qingshan's palm and seeing that he didn't seem to be showing any signs of distress, Gu Qianli finally relaxed a bit.

Then, he looked at Lin Pinzhang and said, "So, this gentleman is my… um, a relative from my past?"

Lin Pinzhang looked at Lin Qingshan with excitement, "Yintang! Have you remembered your uncle?"

"I haven't."

However, Lin Qingshan replied helplessly, "I just guessed it. I should know you, and earlier this… classmate mentioned that I was his brother."

"So, it seems all of this is true."

He spoke softly, trying to suppress the physical reaction his body had after Lin Pinzhang mentioned the original owner's name.

"I'm sorry."

Lin Qingshan suddenly said, "Uncle… well, uncle, but I no longer go by the name Lin Yintang. Qingshan is a good name, and I will continue to use it."

What he really meant by apologizing was that he was sorry for occupying this body.

Even though if his soul hadn't taken over this body, it would have died anyway, taking over someone else's body still requires a sense of gratitude.

As for the name, the original owner had changed it himself, so he decided not to revert it back and would continue using his original soul's name, which he was more accustomed to.

"Is that so…"

Lin Pinzhang was a bit disappointed, but he still said, "But that's alright. You don't have to remember those past things."

"You could tell me about it. I'm actually curious about what kind of person I used to be."

Lin Qingshan suggested.

This made Gu Qianli a bit uneasy, but seeing that it was Lin Qingshan's own decision, she didn't object.

"Maybe later…"

Lin Pinzhang shook his head and softly said, "The past… we can talk about it gradually. I'll arrange for the best experts in the Republic to help you slowly recover those memories. My priority is ensuring that you're safe."

"Yin… Qingshan, your safety is what matters most to your uncle."

Lin Qingshan thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright."

"Then, after I finish my current tasks, we can discuss the past."

Lin Pinzhang nodded in agreement, then said, "But before that, I'll first give you the things your parents left behind…"

"These are the properties and savings your parents left in the capital, as well as some company shares. I'll arrange for someone to transfer them to you…"

He took out several property deeds, bankbooks, and cards in front of Lin Qingshan…

"And this, it's a little money from your uncle. There's a million in the card. It's not much, but it's a small gesture from me…"

Lin Qingshan stared at the large pile of items in front of him, his eyes slowly widening.

...

As the weekend arrived, the subway in Shanghai was slightly less crowded.

But there were still plenty of students and office workers who chose to go out on weekends.

Zhou Wenwei looked at the large, colorful poster in front of him on the subway. It was a promotional poster for *Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners*.

The poster featured all the main characters from *Edgerunners*—David, Lucy, Rebecca, Kiwi, Falco, and even the deceased Maine, Dorio, and Pilar—alongside the stylized English title, *Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners*.

There were various promotional slogans, such as "The final episode of *Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners* is coming!"

"The ultimate battle at Arasaka Tower! A legend carrying the dreams of everyone!"

"Lucy, I will... take you to the moon!"

"This is our... final moon trip!"

Over the past two weeks, *Edgerunners* had been building up to its final episode, leaving fans like Zhou Wenwei with mixed emotions.

In the past few episodes, the storyline had been consistently intense and climactic.

Kiwi had betrayed the team, choosing to work with Faraday and capture Lucy as a show of loyalty to Arasaka Corporation.

Following Arasaka's orders, they used Lucy as a hostage to force David and Rebecca to attack a Militech convoy.

This led to David acquiring the powerful "Adam Smasher" cyberware, a secret project by Arasaka.

David, who was always intended by Arasaka to be the test subject for "Adam Smasher," installed the cyberware and started testing its capabilities.

David did not disappoint, using the overwhelmingly powerful "Adam Smasher" to brutally defeat Militech's forces.

After dealing with Militech, he chose to head directly to Arasaka Tower to rescue Lucy.

However… after using the powerful "Adam Smasher" cyberware, David's cyberpsychosis worsened significantly.

Just as the black-market doctor had warned, he was on the brink of becoming a full-blown cyberpsycho…

The fans almost unanimously knew that *Edgerunners* was likely to have a tragic ending, one that couldn't be changed.

But… they still chose to watch *Edgerunners* to see how the final episode would play out.

Two weeks earlier, Zhou Wenwei had already pre-ordered the latest issue of *Manga World GoGo*, so this time he went straight to his mailbox to retrieve it.

This issue of the manga magazine had *Edgerunners* on the cover, with David's back facing the readers as he looked up at the towering building ahead.
