The walls of the cabin are decorated with specimens, which are all real animal specimens, not virtual images.
An ebony table exudes understated luxury.
Izumiya Toyohisa sat at the table, carefully maintaining a hunting rifle in his hands, which was Izumiya Toyohisa's most prized possession.
Makishima sat on the sofa opposite Izumiya Toyohisa.
They were discussing a hot topic: Wang Ling Li Hua Zi, a girl rumored to be a goddess among the students. This Makishima had a handsome face, but the expression on it was incredibly strange—a smile that was also unsettling. He also had long silver-white hair and golden eyes. All of this made him appear even more alluring.
Behind many characters, a man active in the shadows. Suspected of involvement in the murder of Kogami Shinya's subordinate, he has been pursued by Kogami Shinya for three years. He once worked as a teacher at Sakura-shimo Academy.
A mysterious man who operates behind the scenes in many events. From birth, regardless of the circumstances, his appearance has always been pure white.
Possesses the [Deified Leader Trait].
She is a person born with pure white skin, and presents the protagonist with this fallacy—since the system determines that she is a "sound and kind person," then no matter what heinous things she does, it is correct? In episode 11, before killing Funahara Yuki, her crime index was only 70, but when she killed Funahara Yuki, her crime index actually decreased to 0.
This is undoubtedly a natural criminal constitution; there is probably only one such special constitution in the world.
This is especially true for Makishima, a uniquely advantageous situation that can be considered one of the few exceptions in his destiny.

"...benign stress deficiency stroke."
Makishima was flipping through a book in his hands; it was La Finnu's "Camilla the Vampire".
Joseph Sherryden La Finnu was an Irish horror novelist. His notable short stories include "Green Tea" and "Camilla the Vampire."
"Camilla the Vampire" is set in Austria and tells the story of the beautiful and alluring Countess Karnstein and Laura, the daughter of a British soldier living in Styria, Austria. The Countess (also known as Camilla) is Laura's close friend by day, but transforms into a vampire at night to attack her. Critics believe the book contains many scenes imbued with lesbian themes.
"...Although it's not a recognized disease name, the government has probably denied its existence. It's fair to say that most deaths treated as 'heart failure of unknown cause' are cases like this."
“I’ve heard of it.”
Sengakuji said expressionlessly.
"In any case, it should be the downsides caused by excessive stress therapy."
"Previously, moderate stress would activate the immune system and bring about positive effects. There's a saying that life is a 'competition.' When walking the path of life, we will inevitably encounter friction—or perhaps it's more accurate to say that the meaning of survival is to strive for something else. However, as a result of the normalization of fitness and health management through mental scans, people have become too numb to the feeling of stress, and patients who cannot recognize stimuli have also emerged. Although the government recognizes that stress treatment drugs have no side effects, it should still be considered that this is one of the contributing factors."
"It's truly lamentable. Has humanity's excessive indulgence of itself led to the degeneration of its biological nature...?"
Sengakuji Temple itself can no longer be considered human in the narrow sense.
Is his sigh truly an expression of human emotion? That is also questionable; it's an artificial sigh.
Toyohisa Semumiya has been completely cybernetically transformed.
He doesn't even need basic biological breathing.
The artificial heart and lungs allow him to breathe like a machine, and the corrosion-resistant titanium alloy skeleton makes him seem more like a machine than a human or a living being.
"If a benign stress deficiency stroke occurs, it's no different from being a living corpse. Eventually, the autonomic nervous system will lose its function and will be unable to continue to maintain life activities. ... In fact, this is the only one that is not affected by the development of the medical system; rather, statistically, the average life expectancy tends to decrease. Well, this is data that absolutely cannot be made public."
"Of course. The voices calling for the meaning of existence have all died out in this era. No one will seriously talk about the proper state of life anymore."
"...Wang Lingli Huazi's father also suffered from benign stress deficiency stroke. ...Wang Ling Laoyi was once a very popular illustrator. Did you know that?"
Unfortunately, I have little knowledge of the world of art.
"He was a standard-bearer of fantasy art who took the lineage of cave monster illustrations to a new level. He was a genius at depicting brutal and vivid nightmares, using the female form as his subject. However, he himself was an extremely earnest ordinary person. Perhaps some will not believe this, but it is the truth."

"Although there are many examples where the imagery of a work deviates from the actual posture of the creator, Lao Yi has a solid idea. He believes that only when humanity recognizes the darkness within its heart and the hidden cruelty within itself can it cultivate the conscience, reason, and goodwill to regulate it. ... He uses this as inspiration to define his own creative activities."
"Judging from what you say, you seem to be a saint and a virtuous person."
"only.".
Makishima's lips curled into a strange smile.
continued.
"...The widespread adoption of Psycho=pass brought his work to an end. People no longer need self-discipline; instead, they maintain their mental health through mechanical measurements. ...Rakuichi seems to welcome this technology. Regardless of the method, his ideal form of mental well-being has been realized. The form of art has also changed dramatically. As long as one accepts the suitability assessment of the Sibylla system, the era in which even beauty can be quantified has finally arrived. Although the result is that his mission is completed and life becomes something worthless, he is a true great man who values ends over means. ...Well, there is still some inner conflict. To resolve this conflict, Rakuichi immediately underwent various advanced technologies for stress therapy. That state of being can be described as addiction, or so his daughter Rihanako put it."
"In the end, did he become a living corpse who couldn't even get out of bed?"
"It must be unbearable for a daughter who admires her father. Wang Linglao was killed twice. First, his talent was murdered by science and technology, and then his soul was killed by society."
"So the motive for this girl's crime was to avenge her father?"
"Well, that's fine as a starting point... but revenge as a motive for a crime is too boring. I hope we can find a deeper meaning."
"Even so...didn't you kill too many students from your own school? That's too audacious."
"...I've already taught her how to leave no evidence. In case anything happens, we'll make the missing Fujima Kosaburo a criminal again. If the police station's capabilities match my thinking, they'll definitely take the bait. Choi Kyu-sung will definitely be able to complete this level of disguise excellently. If things get really dangerous, there's always the option of escaping overseas..."
"I see. So she's a girl worth doing this much?"
"We don't know yet. If it's worthwhile, then it's worth doing as much as we can."
Inside the student dormitory of Sakura-sou Academy.
Inside the luxurious room, Wang Ling Li Hua Zi placed Okubo Ashika's body into a resin bag, sealed it, and created a vacuum. Expressionless, she then stuffed the body into a suitcase and activated her portable intelligence terminal.
"Cui Qiucheng?"
"You've been waiting. Everything is ready on my end, and I'm waiting for you."
"You don't fit this pretentious way of speaking. Anyway, I'll have to trouble you to transport the goods again."
"learn."
A brand new image appeared before Wang Ling Li Hua Zi's eyes. It was the information provided by Cui Qiu Cheng, and the optimal route was set for Wang Ling Li Hua Zi's convenience. The box moved slowly forward in the slide, and Wang Ling Li Hua Zi did not look like a murderer at all.
Calm and elegant.
0095 The Forgotten Place [Please Subscribe]
The box was destined for a waste disposal facility, where chemical treatments could break down human waste. Wang Lingli Huazi passed through security effortlessly; the processing tanks stretched out in all directions like a network of tunnels.
Wang Lingli Huazi walked through the entrance of a disguised underground passage towards the garbage disposal facility located in the basement. The walls of the entire underground space were rough and primitive, with countless workbenches and sinks.
This space doesn't actually exist on the map; Makishima erased the information about it, and it became a forgotten place.
Bacteria and evil breed and thrive here.
Criminals' favorite.
Wang Lingli Huazi met Cui Qiucheng.
She asked calmly and coldly.
"Where's the medicine?"
"over there."
Cui Qiucheng pointed to a pair of resin bottles in the distance, which looked quite messy. He looked at Wang Lingli Huazi with a smirk.
The tone was teasing.
"Although my profession isn't moving luggage... I was very enthusiastic about preparing for this. If I'm helping such a lovely lady, I have nothing to complain about."
Wang Lingli Huazi put on white gloves and poured the medicine into the sink.
The colorless and odorless liquid instantly dissolved into the water tank. Although the liquid looked ordinary, it was actually very rare, and many people did not even know that it existed.
"Where did Makishima-sensei get something so incredible from..."
"It's leftovers from an old ritual, that's what he said. I don't know who made it, and I don't want to know... I guess that guy thought it would be more meaningful to please Master Makishima than to obtain a license to sell this strange medicine."
"There's always a group of geniuses around you who use their talents in strange ways. You're one of them, aren't you, Choi Kyu-sung?"
Wang Lingli Huazi's captivating gaze was irresistible to most men. It even elicited a shy, bashful smile from Cui Qiucheng.
"How should I put it? Can being with that person bring back a childlike heart...? And what kind of pranks will the world play, and how will it react? I'm always obsessed with it."
Choi Kyu-sung was a former expert in electronic warfare.
He drifted to an island nation, only to suffer the loss of his country and family, ending in tragedy. He wandered aimlessly like a rootless duckweed, until he finally encountered Makishima.
"I understand that feeling."
Wang Ling Li Hua Zi remained calm as she faced Okubo Shika's corpse once again, as if she herself was not the murderer who killed the boy. She opened the resin bag again, gazed at the corpse, and smiled.
Choi Koo-sil, on the other hand, was looking at the beautiful young woman in front of him, watching her every move, every smile, every frown, and every word.
All I could see was admiration.
"You prepare the toys, and we mischievous kids will use them to cause chaos in the world... How fun, really."
"Well, we toy manufacturers don't have the courage or patience to anger the adults in the world. We just enjoy watching what you naughty kids do."
"Yes, it's almost time for the second prank to be shown to the adults. You could keep an eye on the news."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Qiu Cheng operated the clothing projection device, disguising his appearance as a female student from Sakura Frost Academy. This was definitely illegal—a full-face projection. Although being caught red-handed by the police's automated system or street scanning would be considered a criminal, Qiu Cheng, with his special skills, wouldn't appear in their sight. Protected by hacking technology, Qiu Cheng prepared to leave the room.
"You always leave when you're happiest. What a pity."
“Unfortunately, I can’t stand the smell of blood.” Choi Kyu-sung’s short, straight brown hair covered part of his right cheek, and his prosthetic eye was also covered, making him look very cunning.
He smiled faintly.
Then he turned and left.
Wang Lingli Huazi's smile was so beautiful, yet she was doing the most terrifying thing. She nonchalantly picked up a chainsaw, its blade a high-output laser. They called this 'processing'. Such a bloody task could be done with such a blank expression, without any inner turmoil, even with such elegant movements and a noble, refined demeanor.
Step by step.
The movements were so skillful they were chilling.
……
The next day in the afternoon.
Sakura-sou Academy.
Art classroom.
Wang Lingli Huazi wielded her paintbrush, creating a fluid and expressive painting.
As the sun sets, its rays bathe the earth in beautiful colors. The sunlight streams gently through the window, so soft and warm. Yet, the sunlight surrounding Wang Ling Li Hua Zi carries a hint of bloodshed.
Also in the classroom is Kagami Kawaharazaki.
"So, what is it you want to discuss with me, Kagami Kawaharazaki?"
"Ashika-chan... it's about Okubo-san. She hasn't been in touch and has been absent... that..."
"You must be worried... Kawaharasaki-san is very considerate of her friends."
"She is my childhood sweetheart..."
Childhood friends... sometimes it's just a protective shell to conceal one's true feelings. For Kagami, Okubo Ashika is the most important person, not just a childhood friend. The only thing she can't accept is that Ashika admires Wang Ling Li Huazi so much, and is willing to do anything for him, so why can't Ashika try to look at her even a little more?
Instead of circling around Wang Ling Li Hua Zi.
Why can't we try to trust her, trust our childhood friend? Kagami would do anything for Okubo Ashika with just a word.
why! !
No matter how hard she tried, Kagami couldn't understand it.
“Because she’s been spending a lot of time with Senior Wang Ling lately… what if…” As she spoke, Kagami slowly approached, her gaze fixed on the canvas, on which was none other than Okubo Ashika. Wang Ling Rihua’s painting skills were excellent, and Okubo Ashika was painted with remarkable realism, but both the figure and the atmosphere had a somewhat bizarre and incongruous feel to them.
As for why it felt out of place, I just couldn't put my finger on it.
Kagami stared intently at the painting, her expression extremely serious.
"This is……"
"Yes, it's her. She's a very compelling subject and has helped my creative process," Wang Lingli Huazi said with a smile in her eyes.
"A girl's friend, that's awesome. It should be a really exciting theme."
