Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"Is it him? It's that dead gun."

Asada Shino was horrified. Was she about to be killed by Death Gun? She deeply regretted suggesting breaking up with Lin Yan in the first place.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a hidden mission: hunt down six people in GGO.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a reward—an electromagnetic tranquilizer dart.]

Lin Yan could use this kind of ammunition, and for a moment he regretted his oversight. This was the method used in the original plot to paralyze Shi Nong, which was Death Gun's method.

How abominable.

A person appeared before Asada Shino's eyes as if by magic, appearing so unexpectedly.

—Meta-material optical distortion camouflage!

No, this is not magic or a trick.

This is the ultimate camouflage capability.

It was a familiar black cloak, tattered and worn, and Asada Shino saw the person in front of her.

—"Death Gun".

At Death Gun's feet lay a large rifle, but many questions remained about Death Gun's character. Could he really have done it? These were things that remained unexplained.

“My plan has finally succeeded. If you die, then he… will definitely be able to fight me head-on… let him fight me in a state of ferocity and rage… hahahahaha… let me witness the true power of death.”

Lin Yan did indeed call himself the Grim Reaper in SAO.

However, Asada Shino didn't know anything about these things, so she was a little confused when she heard this person say them.

he?

The dead gun in front of her was so ruthless because it was meant to provoke him. So who exactly is he? Asada Shino doesn't have many friends, especially not a single one she's close to.

No, there is someone who has been visiting frequently lately.

That is—Lin Yan.

Could the "he" this person is referring to be Lin Yan? Considering that Lin Yan was also a survivor of SAO, these things can be explained. Moreover, Lin Yan is a great hero, and such a great hero is bound to attract attention.

It seems normal to cause some trouble.

However, Shino Asada also felt anger at such a foolish purpose.

It would mean sacrificing human lives.

This is utterly disregard for human life.

She absolutely would not allow such a rampant and depraved person to commit such a crime; she had to stop him, stop him!!!

However, Asada Shino was simply unable to move.

Death Gun, however, did not immediately shoot Asada Shino. Instead, he looked at her with interest, as if she were his prey. Such a person is even more despicable.

Watched it for a while.

Death Gun raised his left hand, and at that moment the live stream camera shifted to the sky above Death Gun and Asada Shino.

Death Gun's hands, gloved in black leather, even appeared somewhat bony; he had drawn a cross shape on his chest.

This is a ceremony.

In many murder cases, some particularly obsessive individuals have certain fixed rituals. These rituals may seem unimportant, but for these serial killers, they are more important than anything else. The sense of ritual must never be compromised.

After Dead Gun finished gesturing, he used his fingernails.

Holding the black pistol, he saw the markings; it was a Type 54 pistol.

This pistol is Asada Shino's nightmare. She is instantly plunged into a nightmare again. Whenever she sees this gun, Asada Shino is always haunted by nightmares.

The Dead Gun uses a semi-crouching Weber stance for aiming.

In that instant, Asada Shino seemed to see a horrifying scene. It was the same horrific thing that had happened to her before: blood streaming down this person's face.

Really scary.

This nightmare has plagued Shino Asada for years; she has had it most nights in recent years.

My heart was pounding.

Is she really going to die? Just like when that robber was shot dead by Asada Shino, she's going to be killed by this gun too.

She kept struggling.

But it was of no avail.

In her final moments, Shino Asada truly gave up hope. She closed her eyes, but the death she had imagined did not come.

Death Gun never expected that his body would fall straight down.

That person actually fell down. Asada Shino looked into the distance and saw Lin Yan's figure. Tears almost streamed down her face.

In the final, critical moment.

this person.

It's the same person.

Come and save her.

Even for her, Shino Asada had given up hope, Lin Yan was like a ray of light shining into her dark world, bringing light and hope to it.

A tear fell.

The person displaying an incredulous expression at this moment was Dead Gun. He never expected his plot to be exposed, and that he hadn't killed a single target since the game started. Dead Gun didn't kill just anyone; he selected his targets from the very beginning.

Of course, it's not about having principles.

Instead, he needs to obtain real information about these people's real world so that he can work together from the inside and outside to put on a show that he believes is flawless.

Lin Yan moved Asada Shino inside the building.

They then moved the dead gun inside the building.

Asada Shino will be able to move around soon, while Lin Yan has tied up Death Gun tightly, which puzzles Asada Shino.

"Why not kill him?"

Asada Shino asked.

"I've talked about SAO before, but I haven't finished yet..." So Lin Yan roughly told Asada Shino about SAO.

After a moment of silence, Asada Shino told Lin Yan about her situation.

Lin Yan continued.

"Actually, Death Gun didn't kill through the screen at all, as I've mentioned before. I suspect that even if Death Gun's plan fails, Shinkawa Kyoji will continue with it. He's a complete madman; we can't predict what crazy things he's capable of..."

Asada Shino's apartment uses a KeylessEntry lock.

This lock is quite secure and virtually impossible to break; however, it can be unlocked using electromagnetic waves. But Asada Shino has double security: a metal lock and a combination lock.

"So, do you know now exactly how he committed the crime?"

For some reason, Shino Asada felt uneasy; she just felt a chill run down her spine.

That trembling feeling had spread throughout my entire body.

And there's no way to get rid of it.

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded.

He was, of course, all too familiar with Dead Gun's little tricks; they were merely deceptive tactics to fool those without ability. They might fool the incapable, but Lin Yan was someone who had a comprehensive view of the situation. How could he be deceived?

"..."

Asada Shino swallowed hard.

She stared intently at Lin Yan, "So... what methods did he use to kill him, and how did he manage to make it impossible for others to find out?"

"How could he kill someone through a screen? It's unbelievable... No, you also said he didn't kill someone through a screen, so how did he kill someone?"

Asada Shino frowned in pain.

This has left many people puzzled, especially after witnessing such a shocking scene. Everyone saw Dead Gun fire a shot at the screen with a black handgun, and then the live stream ended.

"That's because, as I said before, Death Gun isn't just one person, but three. One of them shoots through the screen, while the other kills people in real life. This creates the effect of killing people through a screen."

Lin Yan said.

Such cases do exist in real life; many murderers seek a sense of ritual. For example, some people will kill their victims on specific occasions, while others will dress up as their victims in specific roles, such as a bride.

Of course, these forms are not important.

The most important thing is to know the suspect's modus operandi.

This is the only way to prevent problems before they occur.

“I suspect they must have used some kind of injectable drug,” Lin Yan said.

"The previous autopsy report was because the body was already highly decomposed, making it impossible to find any traces of injection. So, this matter... was simply hidden away."

Lin Yan knew the killer's modus operandi from the beginning, but Lin Yan had no obligation to save those people, did he?

"That's it..."

Asada Shino's breathing was somewhat heavy.

These people who treat life like a game are beyond the imagination of ordinary people; they would do the most heinous things.

Some people even commit crimes in pursuit of the thrill of killing.

Asada Shino felt a deep sense of disgust. If it was to protect someone from harm, that could be forgiven, but to harm others for one's own selfish desires was absolutely unforgivable.

"This guy is a madman."

Asada Shino said with a frown.

"This guy is definitely a madman. I told you about SAO before; these people are already immersed in that world, even though they've left the game. But their mental illness hasn't left; they're still immersed in the world of killing. Maybe it's to prolong the stimulation of the red players, making them think they're still swordsmen from that world..."

Lin Yan gave a helpless yet mocking smile.

Four years—such a long time to be immersed in one world. And some people, whose hearts are already dark, can easily become trapped and unable to escape.

This is especially true for people who cannot find fulfillment in reality.

Asada Shino was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Actually, I can understand their behavior. Sometimes, even after leaving GGO, I often have this illusion that I'm still Shion..."

Asada Shino forcibly pulled herself out of this emotion.

Staring into the eyes of the person in front of him.

After calming down a bit, he spoke.

"You're right, they must have a very... seamless working relationship."

"Actually, this method is very easy to do."

Lin Yan smiled and said.

Is it easy to do?

The game world is completely isolated, making any communication or exchange with the real world impossible, and therefore, no information can be exchanged between them. Under such circumstances, how can we be sure that when Death Gun fires in the game, a person in real life will also harm the victim?

They cannot perfectly overlap for a period of time.

Therefore, their so-called "killing through a screen" effect would not exist.

In that case, it would be considered a failure.

"Do you remember the gesture Death Gun made when he shot someone, the one where he made the sign of the cross?"
