Zheng Lu, however, had a relaxed expression. "Although we are currently responsible for apprehending potential repeat offenders, we are also potential offenders ourselves, so the inspectors have the authority to deal with us."

deal with?

Tsunemori Akane didn't quite like this terminology. They weren't just used items that could be discarded at will; they were vibrant, living beings.

Lin Yan looked into the distance and said calmly.

"lets go."

Chang Shouzhu was somewhat at a loss. She looked at Lin Yan walking into the distance, and Zheng Lu, who shrugged and followed him. She then jogged after him.

Seiraku seemed to see through Tsunemori Akane's thoughts and explained as if to comfort her, "If we do anything wrong, you can indeed deal with us... Although it may be hard for you to accept, I still advise you not to act too emotionally."

That's a very fair opinion.

Tsunemori Akane paused for a moment, then nodded.

This is a commercial building located in an abandoned area. The building has four floors, and in a dusty room in a corner of the building...

A young woman, Chika Shimazu, lay exhausted on the ground.

Her face was covered in tears, and her skin was covered in bruises, as if she had suffered a brutal beating.

The other man's eyes gleamed with malice.

While idly heating the blade in his hand with a lighter.

"Don't look down on me now... I was once an ambitious young man striving for my ideals."

The man named Okura was talking to himself.

"I not only tried my best to live, but I also lived very carefully, not wanting to make any mistakes... I didn't want to bother anyone or trouble others... but my fate still changed completely. Just because I was caught by that contact scanner, I became some kind of potential criminal. I didn't do anything, yet they treated me like this... Why?! Tell me why?!"

"I...I don't know." Tsushima Chika was clearly terrified; she curled up into a ball, hugging her legs and trembling.

"There's nothing left to cherish in this filthy and cruel world. Rather than dying without doing anything, I might as well enjoy myself to the fullest... Do all the things I've always wanted to do but never dared to before, so that my life won't have been in vain. Don't you agree?"

Okura's inquiry did not receive a response from Tsushima Chika.

He suddenly flew into a rage and kicked the poor woman hard in the stomach, eliciting a painful groan in response.

Upon hearing the groans, he seemed even more aroused, relentlessly stomping on the woman's body until she was unable to move.

But this did not stop his atrocities. He gripped the red-hot knife tightly in his hand and stabbed it toward Tsushima Chika's abdomen.

One cut after another...

Fresh blood gushed out.

It dyed a large area red.

Chika Tsushima was exhausted, but the excruciating pain made her cry out again.

The violent man seemed satisfied, nodding contentedly.

"Where did Mr. Lin Yan go?" Tsunemori's anxious tone was particularly noticeable in the empty building, and Seiryu made a shushing gesture.

Then, gestures are used to convey information about searching by region.

After understanding, Tsunemori nodded.

Although she seemed to be the most senior inspector in the county, Zheng Lu had extensive combat experience, and obeying his command at this time was a wise decision.

Tsunemori carefully walked to the other side.

On her journey, she encountered a homeless man who, despite using the Dominator to read data, only had a crime coefficient of 160.

With such a low crime rate, the ruler is locked in.

"Crime coefficient below 160, not a target for enforcement, trigger locked."

Tsunemori Akane, who held the power of dominion, heard the system's voice.

"Crime coefficient exceeds 120."

"Criminal Division Enforcement Officer, disarm any security device on the target of enforcement."

This notification made Tsunemori Akane feel uneasy. Why could the other party, being an executive officer, act arbitrarily? It was clearly a deprivation of their rights.

Moreover, this girl, who had just entered society, also experienced considerable turmoil.

This kind-looking man with a friendly smile is actually a potential criminal.

"I've heard of you before; you're said to be the head of the training center."

Zheng Lu had finished searching the other side and met up with her, while Chang Shou Zhu nodded slightly, somewhat shyly.

"However, what we learned in training is all theoretical and completely useless here."

"what?"

"Do you think I'm being unpleasant to hear, and that I'm particularly arrogant...?"

"It's just that what I said was a bit excessive." Tsunemori Akiko still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"I'm just stating the facts, please don't mind... This isn't a place for sentimentality. After all, we can measure people's hearts entirely with data; it's no longer an era where we can judge things based on emotions or feelings." Seiji gave a slightly bitter smile, though Tsunemori Akane didn't notice it. Seiji continued, "The introduction of the Sibylla System has indeed reduced crime, but it hasn't completely eliminated it. I can't say anything more; you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Tsunemori listened quietly; these words were somewhat refreshing and unexpected to him.

"As the saying goes, practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Here you will soon experience things you've never encountered or thought about before... But be prepared, aside from the capture techniques and basic physical training taught in the training center, you can put everything else out of your mind."

"I..." Tsunemori Akane was about to speak, but a message came through her wireless earpiece; the other party was Teng from another group.

Teng had arrived at the scene and saw Tsushima Chika, who was tied up and terrified.

"This is Hound 4, target spotted. What to do?"

He successfully photographed the face of the woman being held hostage using his intelligence terminal, and after a series of comparisons, confirmed that she was the kidnapped hostage, Tsushima Chika.

This intelligence was also shared by everyone involved in the case.

"You stay there and don't leave. Hound Two and I will surround him together."

This is their code name, a very inhumane designation.

"I think this is very inappropriate. The hostages seem to have reached their limit and have suffered serious injuries."

From a distance, Chika Tsushima let out a blood-curdling scream.

"I come……"

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the shared channel.

At this moment, Tsushima Chika also thought of Lin Yan, who had split up with them. What did he mean by that?

"Shh—" Zheng Lu made a shushing gesture again, "Let's lie low for now, and I'm sure he'll handle it properly."

He? A proper solution?

Should we leave him to face such a complicated situation alone?

In Tsunemori Akane's heart, she felt a renewed curiosity about the boy with deep eyes and short, fine hair as black as ink.

What crime did this boy, who seemed to have stepped out of a traditional Chinese ink painting, commit?

Lin Yan aimed the Dominator in his hand at the crazed man.

[Crime coefficient exceeds 190, actionable target, security devices deactivated.]

In an instant, Lin Yan pulled the trigger.

A flash of lightning—this was the anesthesia mode, which instantly allowed the anesthetic to be distributed to his central nervous system.

"what!"

A scream rang out instantly.

However, Okura, who should have fainted instantly, was instead invigorated and held the hostage in front of him as a human shield, and then broke through the window in the next moment.

"This guy really did take his medicine."

The knowledge that flooded into Lin Yan's mind gave him his initial judgment.

The ruler in his hands sounded a loud alarm.

All the dominators share information, so the other dominators also sounded the alarm.

The form of the instantaneous ruler has changed.

Tsunemori Akane resembled a frightened little white rabbit surrounded by a pack of big gray wolves, trembling with fear.

She watched in astonishment as the Dominator's armor unfolded, transforming from a giant pistol into a sharp shape capable of slicing through even the hardest mountains.

"How is this going?"

"Based on Sibylla's assessment, we can kill Nobuo Okura directly... He is about to disappear from this world."

"Why do this? He was only detected by the scan."

Tsunemori Akane simply couldn't understand why such an ending had occurred.

"The crime coefficient has exceeded 300, which is the judgment made by the Sibylla system, which is beyond question."

After hearing this explanation, Tsunemori Akane was speechless.

I was left only with shock.

Why did he encounter such a thing so soon after starting his job, completely shattering his worldview?

Meanwhile, Okura sped off into the distance.

“Those despicable guys must have seen my lustful nature and definitely want to kill me.”

Okura's voice had become almost shrill when he suddenly saw Tsushima Chika's voluptuous appearance.

Those bloodshot eyes, almost bulging out, were filled with excitement.

"It seems your camera work is starting to change too."

That was the color of Tsushima Chika, which slowly began to become murky.

Once a certain threshold is reached, they will be considered a potential offender.

Chika Tsushima looked at her own appearance and shook her head frantically in disbelief.

"No...it can't be like that, I don't believe it...it can't be."

"At your current rate, the best outcome is that you will be arrested. Once your crime rate exceeds a certain threshold, they will definitely eliminate you completely."

Okura's voice was very calm, yet it revealed extreme excitement.

He shouted loudly while laughing wildly.

Apart from Lin Yan, due to the terrain, no one else could get close to Okura and Tsushima Chika's location in a short period of time.

Zheng Lu said in a low voice.

"If we don't end the fight quickly, the hostage girl's condition might deteriorate."

"A mental disorder?"

"That's right. Crime rates can be contagious, and young people today have very weak psychological resilience. Once they are affected by external factors, it is difficult for them to get out of a dead end."

The situation became extremely difficult.

Lin Yan, now standing in front of Okura, made him even more excited.

The sharp blade was already pressed against Tsushima Chika's neck, and even a trace of blood was seeping out.

"Don't point that gun at me, throw it away now, or I'll kill her..." Okura's voice was full of anger, but his expression also showed a kind of greed and enjoyment.

"Hands up, back off, and kick the gun to me!"

Although Okura understood how to use the gun, he still insisted that Lin Yan do as he said.

Lin Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile.
