"This design would be nice for showcasing the reed song, wouldn't it?"

Wang Ling Li Hua Zi looked at the astonished Kagami with a slight smile. Kagami's eyes were glazed over, and she slowly looked down at her abdomen. Wang Ling Li Hua Zi then pushed the needle-free syringe, which was filled with anesthetic, forward slightly.

Just a little bit can quickly put a person into a coma.

only--

Kagami couldn't believe Wang Ling Li Hua Zi's behavior. Even though she had seen and experienced it firsthand, she still couldn't believe why she would do such a thing. Why?

"ah……?".

As the anesthetic entered her body, Kagami's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and she was no longer able to think.

Instantly, he lost consciousness.

……

Kagami felt as if she were caught in a whirlpool, constantly being sucked in, as if she had fallen into another world.

I've been hesitating and lingering.

Kagami remained in this dazed state for an unknown amount of time. The chaotic world was like a nightmare; she tried to think about something, but her mind was out of control and she couldn't think of anything.

"Hmm... um...?"

slowly.

Kagami's consciousness gradually returned.

As everything before her eyes gradually became clearer, the first thing Kagami realized was that she had been moved to another place. This was an unfamiliar place, one that Kagami had no recollection of.

Is this... a basement?

Suddenly!

Kagami's eyes met those of Okubo Ashika. She tried to make a sound, but couldn't utter a single word. As she struggled, she realized she was bound, her body tightly restrained, and her mouth unable to speak.

he?

do you died?

Kagami's voice trembled with sobs. She desperately wanted to know whether Okubo Ashika was dead or alive, for this boy was the person she loved most, the person she cherished most. Yet here he was, so quietly, appearing before her so inexplicably.

Reed Song.

Reed Song.

Reed Song!!!

Kagami tried to call his name, but no sound came out. She called his name countless times in her heart, but she still couldn't wake him.

Is he really dead?

No, I don't want to believe it, I really don't want to believe it.

Kagami stared at Okubo Ashika for a long time before finally realizing that the person in front of him was not a living Okubo Ashika, but rather Okubo Ashika's corpse.

"...A touching reunion between childhood sweethearts, it was truly a breathtaking scene. It was art."

A voice sounded.

This is a voice that Kagami is familiar with.

It was her—Wang Ling Li Hua Zi.

She whispered these words in a haunting voice in her ear, her slender fingers touching Kagami's delicate cheek—a dangerous and ambiguous gesture.

What on earth is she doing?

Kagami vividly recalls being in the art studio with Rikako Oiryu when she was attacked and drugged with an anesthetic.

Then, my memory went blank.

When she opened her eyes, Kagami was already there, and in her ear was the voice of Wang Ling Li Hua Zi.

"To share this feeling with even more people... this kind of thought is truly the domain of the performer."

Inside a park.

A cold, lifeless corpse stared icily at the sky. The corpse was Yamaguchi Masami. Her body had already been discovered. Ginoza looked at the dismembered body of the young girl, with a rose, as red as blood, at its center.

Crimson roses.

The body was scattered like flower petals.

The site has been cordoned off to prevent damage. In addition to Ginoza, there are also Seijiku, Fujiwara, and Rokugozuka.

"This is the second one."

Ginoza muttered to himself, gazing at the girl's corpse arranged in a performance art style.

“If this is Fujima Kosaburo’s crime, then it is the sixth one.”

Rokugozuka is right. If the suspect is Tokifuji Kozaburo, then it's not the second case, but the sixth.

Masami Yamaguchi, a beautiful young woman.

Like Kuzuhara Satsuki, Fujima Kosaburo belongs to Sakura-shizuka Academy, a higher education institution with its own unique characteristics. Aside from regular checkups and academic verification, it is exempt from all checks related to sexuality and crime coefficients. This is precisely why Fujima Kosaburo has been able to succeed time and again; he can be considered a natural-born imposter.

Kosaburo Fujima works at this high school.

……

Ginoza, Seiriku, and Rokugozuka arrived at Yamaguchi Masami's room to search for evidence. No secrets stay hidden forever; every case has its clues, but no one expected that within this room—

No clues whatsoever.

"Not a single clue...?"

Zheng Lu frowned slightly as he pondered; he hadn't expected things to go so badly. The self-contained machine was busy but yielded nothing, not even finding anything unusual.

It's really weird.

"The fact that victims have appeared in the same school one after another makes it hard to imagine that there is no connection between them." Ginoza wanted to sort out his thoughts. The complexity and difficulty of this case had exceeded Ginoza's expectations, but where exactly had he missed something?

Where?

"Definitely, there's some connection."

"There's some new information that's not funny. It seems two more people have disappeared from the dorm... After asking their families, we learned they didn't go home either. A perfect disappearance."

"Damn it... how can they disappear one after another right before our eyes?"

"But it's really strange... The school buildings and dormitories are all under heavy military guard. Even the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has been nagging and making sarcastic remarks about our search..."

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is a big problem.

For those who work tirelessly day and night solving cases, these people serve almost no purpose other than increasing their workload.

Zheng Lu frowned, deep in thought about the case.

Is there any way to bring the victims out of here?

"Even though Fujima Kosaburo returned here three years later, why is he still targeting only the students of Sakura-shimo Academy? It's too blatant."

"For Fujima, this academy is practically his lair. Maybe he knows some shortcuts to avoid the guards."

"Very likely~"

Teng spoke in a very exaggerated voice, but his expression was solemn, without a trace of a smile.

After all, this is a serious matter.

"This college has been around for 200 years, hasn't it? The buildings on this land have been added and removed repeatedly, and it has become a mess. The schematic diagram of the school buildings is a complete mess; just looking at it makes one dizzy."

"Could it be... that the murder scene and the location where the perpetrator is hiding are both within the academy?"

"Rokugozuka suddenly spoke up."

The criminals' hearts skipped a beat. They exchanged glances, and a bad feeling welled up inside them.

The crime scene and the whereabouts of the perpetrator are crucial to the progress of the case, potentially leading to a breakthrough. This is what everyone hopes for: a breakthrough in the case, as there is a possibility of further victims.

at the same time.

Inside the Criminal Investigation Department office.

Chang Shouzhu and Yan worked together intensively. Chang Shouzhu had to deal with a large number of reports and self-criticisms. Due to the long backlog, the workload was huge. Yan also had his own work to do. However, Chang Shouzhu had a little something on her mind and kept an eye on Yan from time to time.

This time, I also took a sneaky peek.

Her slightly shy expression and movements were just like a girl in her first love, secretly watching her crush during her school days. Not long after, Tsunemori Akane tentatively stood up and walked towards Yan's desk, only to find that Yan was also dealing with extremely tedious and boring work, mostly paperwork, and the object of his analysis was the latest victim—Yamaguchi Masami.

"As expected, it's information about the incident...! This must be Miss Tang Zhidu's job."

"This isn't anyone's job. I don't know how this information ended up in my terminal." Yan completely ignored Chang Shouzhu's implied meaning. Logically speaking, Yan's terminal shouldn't contain so much detailed information about the case.

There are also restrictions on viewing permissions for the data.

Given Yan's position, she does not have this authority.

However, in the presence of capable people, so-called authority is nothing more than a thin layer of paper, which can be ignored at any time.

Yan also possesses this ability.

They also have the courage.

"Using such a childish excuse..." Tsunemori Akane carefully observed Yan, then pouted and said to him somewhat sullenly.

"What do you think? You haven't seen it yet, have you?"

He didn't respond to Chang Shouzhu's words.

Yan continued.

Tsunemori Akane didn't continue with that unpleasant topic. After all, she knew about En, who was also a person from Kogami's past, and En was a very special person to her, who had always attracted her attention and thoughts.

"Even if you ask me what I think... based on the analysis of the drug, the only possibility is that it's highly likely the same person who committed the crime three years ago..."

"I'm thinking about this," said Tsunemori Zhu.

"I hold the completely opposite view."

"On the contrary?" This statement surprised Tsunemori Akane. After all, everyone had similar thoughts, that is, the possibility of it being the same criminal as three years ago was extremely high. They were even convinced in their hearts that it was the same criminal who committed the crime.

"Yes. The incident three years ago... for example, this."

"Look at this..."

All the data was analyzed in depth and displayed on the screen, making the relationships between all the data clear and easy to understand.

"...One of the victims was a House of Representatives member suspected of corruption. Because of his falsely reported crime rate, his crime rate was suspected of rising sharply, but he used his parliamentary privilege to refuse further testing. Faced with questioning from the media and the opposition, he managed to escape the predicament with the cliché of 'having no memory at all.' But then, his body was discovered. His skull had been beautifully cut open, and his brain completely removed. A crucial part of the brain related to memory—the hippocampus—was inserted into the victim's anus. The method of killing Sasayama was similar; back then, the methods of murder and the decoration of corpses by criminals seemed to have some motive. There were four victims. The places where the bodies were found were all different: the back of a projected advertisement, a high-class restaurant, a zoo, the center of an idol's concert stage... But this time, both were 'parks.' There was no artistry in the stage design."

"Artistic... and so on."

Yan has a very active mind, and his interests are very broad. He not only has superb logical reasoning ability, but also rich experience and an unimaginable amount of knowledge.

As a result, his thinking speed is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Even Tsunemori Akane, who had excellent grades.

It should be noted that this seemingly unremarkable girl is a one-in-a-million talent, recognized by the Sibyl System as a high-end talent.

But--.

There is still a gap between him and the genius Yan.

The difference is not just a little bit, but an unimaginable level. This is the gap between people, they are not even on the same level.

After all, Yan's experiences are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Whether it's the world of Super God, the Marvel world, or the world of Attack on Titan, the wars, murders, killings, and all the love and hate entanglements in these worlds have given Yan a richer experience and a stronger inner resilience.
