Super God: If I punch you, you will die

This space is very secluded.

If it weren't for the fact that the user was using a technique so subtle that it would go unnoticed, such a hidden place must be haunted by demons. This was Yan's first instinct. He walked down the underground passage, the beam of his flashlight illuminating a certain area, within which were human sculptures. The dismembered limbs of the human body were once again presented in a bizarre posture, sending chills down one's spine.

This doesn't look like a morgue at all.

However, its eerie atmosphere was more terrifying and frightening than a morgue or any haunted house associated with paranormal events, making people unwilling to approach it. It was an instinctive resistance stemming from animals, and everyone except Yan felt this chilling sensation.

This is definitely a patchwork of two different bodies.

Upon inspection, Yan immediately recognized the missing Okubo Ashika and Kawaharazaki Kagami. While Yan remained expressionless, Rokugozuka and Seiryu's brows were furrowed, as they suppressed a feeling of nausea. Tsunemori Akane, however, made her reaction quite obvious; she immediately bent over and covered her mouth.

I simply couldn't bear such a strong impact.

Moreover, Tsunemori Akane is just an innocent young girl who, despite having experienced several cases, still lacks the mental fortitude to cope.

……

The staff room at Sakura-sou Academy.

That teacher was actually him—that person was—Shogo Makishima. He was still pretending to be busy with work, and was even wearing headphones enjoying soft music.

He monitors almost every corner of the academy; it's safe to say that nothing that happens within the academy escapes his notice.

The same applies to the security room.

"Yan...you figured from the beginning that those two things weren't Fujima Kosaburo's crimes?"

"For this prisoner, the display location for the body just needs to be somewhere that's visible. Fujima wouldn't choose a park twice. That guy is fixated on having specific people see it and on conveying a particular theme—"

There are thirty days in total this month. Remember to make sure you finish that 4000-word sentence.

"……Ah……"

This conversation had been overheard, and Makishima's lips curled into a perfect, mocking smile. His female colleague, Yume, standing beside him, was startled by this and asked a question.

"Shibata-sensei, are you listening to music? Or are you teaching materials...?"

"...Both."

"Both?"

At that moment, someone rushed in looking flustered.

"Teachers, excuse me! Something terrible has happened! A student's body has been found on campus!"

These words exploded like a landmine, and everyone rushed out, leaving only one person behind: Makishima. A cunning smile appeared on his face, a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile, giving people an indescribable sense of unease.

He calmly inserted the hacking tool card into the teacher's controller.

Then they launched an attack on the security system server. All of this was planned in advance, so they did it calmly and even enjoyed the process rather than acting rashly.

The special vehicle was carrying the bodies of Okubo Ashika and Kawaharazaki Kagami, and all the students were talking about it.

"I heard a body was found. Whose body is it?"

"Isn't that so-and-so? I heard he went missing a while ago."

“At that time, I felt that things were definitely going to turn out badly, but you guys didn’t believe me.”

"It seems he really is a psychopathic killer. Does that mean our school is unsafe? Should we still come to class?"

"I never expected something like this to happen to someone I know."

"That's really terrifying!"

"How terrible."

"correct."

"I heard it's Okubo Ashika and Kawaharazaki Kagami. Okubo Ashika and Wang Ling Lihuazi are getting very close. What's going on?"

"I don't know, let's take a look."

Some were discussing it, some were anxious, some were simply not afraid of making things worse, and some were making a noisy commotion. Only one person was squatting silently in the corner. Her face was haggard and pale, and she looked like she had suffered a serious injury.

She is Shimotsuki Mika.

Tears welled in Shimotsuki Mika's eyes as she glanced sorrowfully at the vehicle transporting the bodies. The grief in her eyes was deeply moving. Rokugozuka looked at the haggard, pitiful, and sorrowful girl and slowly walked over.

"The one who was found is... your important friend."

"...Can you tell?"

"I can tell just by looking at your face."

Rokugozuka remained calm and composed, without the slightest change in expression. Beneath her mask, however, lay a hint of tenderness and compassion, a rare and precious expression.

“…I didn’t tell her the most important thing. Weige, Weige…she doesn’t pay any attention to me…” As she spoke, Mika looked like she was about to cry. “It was me who suggested…that she go talk to Wangling Lihuazi. I shouldn’t have let her go alone…I killed her…”

Rokugozuka was genuinely worried about Shimotsuki Mika. She felt sorry for this young girl who had suffered such a devastating blow at such a young age, and it was hard to imagine how broken her heart must be.

That sorrowful expression was as if the world was about to end, making one feel sorry for him.

She hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out and hugged Shimotsuki Mika.

"...Now please cry. Otherwise, your color will become murky."

One sentence completely shattered Shimotsuki Mika's defenses.

She burst into tears in an instant.

Large tears slid down his face, down his tender cheeks, as if he could never stop crying once he started.

Rokugozuka still held her gently, letting her cry.

Meanwhile.

In the security room.

Yan remained silent, his brow furrowed. He sorted all the surveillance footage of Wang Lingli Hua Zi according to patterns; a large portion of these videos consisted of unimportant daily events. This data would eventually be sent to the relevant departments, and by then, accessing it would be difficult.

Ginoza walked in.

"...It's here."

"Has the body recovery process ended?"

"Yeah. But I don't want the bereaved families to see..." Ginoza was clearly very frustrated. "...If I had let you join the investigation from the beginning, we could have saved those two people, right?"

"Who knows... No, it probably won't work. There was too little information until these two victims appeared. It's all too late now."

"...There are too many inexplicable things," Ginoza said, frowning with a pained expression. "Wang Ling Li Hua Zi's escape route, the equipment in that basement...it's impossible for a female student to have done that. There's some inside story here. It can't be like what you said..."

Suddenly, a scene that caught his attention appeared in the otherwise boring video feed: a dense, murky noise that swallowed up the entire image.

"……strangeness."

"what happened?"

"All the data is corrupted. When we searched Rokugozuka just now, all the recordings were intact!"

"What happened? The data from the art room's security cameras has been compromised." Ginoza also felt something was strange. Why would this happen?

Logically speaking, this is impossible.

The chances of that happening are extremely small.

What a coincidence!

"Total annihilation... no, this is still possible..."

Based on instinct, he instantly shut down the network, but the intrusion didn't stop. He immediately removed the memory card, thus completely blocking the intrusion. The whole process was extremely swift. He reopened the file on his portable intelligence terminal. This time, the screen was distorted, and only a very loud, chaotic sound could be heard.

It sounds like one person is talking.

"—Do you think Lavinia is happy now that she has been freed from her humiliating fate?"

"'To prevent my daughter from living on after being humiliated, to prevent others from knowing about this and suffering new sorrows every day'...Is that right, Makishima-sensei?"

Makishima?

Both Yan and Ginoza were slightly taken aback by the appearance of this name.

……

An abandoned subway station.

This area is mostly submerged.

Former Toei Mita Subway Line.

This area is considered an abandoned zone, but it also serves as a final refuge for those who believe that "the Sibyl System is unnecessary for society and the crime rate cannot be this high."

0109 Abandoned Subway Station [Please Subscribe]

These people are like rats driven away by humans, barely surviving in filthy, dark places.

The environment here is extremely harsh. In addition to the poor conditions, there are also mosquitoes. Most importantly, there is no heating, making it extremely cold in the dead of winter. It is simply not suitable for human habitation.

At this moment, two more figures appeared here—Wang Lingli Huazi and Cui Qiucheng.

Back then, it was Cui Qiucheng who disguised himself as a student to help Wang Ling Li Huazi escape their sight. Wang Ling Li Huazi's flashlight shone forward, becoming the only light source in the pitch-black space. It was a small emergency flashlight, and its range was very limited.

This station has two levels.

As Wang Lingli Huazi walked forward, only one thought remained in her mind: she had messed up, everything was messed up.

Her brows were furrowed tightly on her overly ornate face. Why was that?

Wang Lingli Huazi believed she had acted flawlessly; even the disposal of the body was done by an automated machine, leaving no trace. Therefore, since they had discovered her crime, it meant she had overlooked something.

What exactly is the evidence?

Could it be Wang Linglao Yi...? Which work?

impossible.

impossible! ! !

Absolutely impossible! ! !

According to Choi Kyu-sung's data, the department's information on artworks is very limited, and there is very little information online, with no treatment or clues available for reference.

Wang Lingli Huazi was completely baffled, his face darkening.

Her feelings towards Sakura-shimo Academy are complex, a tangled web of love and hate. Among Makishima Shogo's assistants are also foreign nationals.

Suddenly.

Wang Lingli Huazi sensed an impending danger.

This was entirely based on Wang Ling Li Hua Zi's hunch, but she still cautiously asked, "Is this route really correct? Cui Qiu Cheng..."

She turned around abruptly, only to find her back empty; Choi Kyu-sung, who should have been walking with her, had vanished without a trace. Just then, her phone rang; the caller was Makishima Shogo.

"...Just to be on the safe side, I'd like to ask one last question. Wang Ling Li Hua Zi, why has things turned out this way that disappoints me? Don't you realize it yourself?"

"...What are you talking about? What did I do?"

What exactly was he saying? Wang Lingli Huazi hadn't reacted yet; her mind was racing, already...

"Hmm. Without self-awareness, there's no way to reflect on your actions. I really can't expect much more from you. I thought you were a more promising child."

"Mr. Makishima! What on earth is going on!?"

The signal suddenly went out.

Wang Lingli Huazi stared at the equipment with a look of confusion and bewilderment.

"Wha...what?"

Like a large, lurking predator in the darkness, the hound-like autonomous machines "Kafka" and "Loftratta" had silently activated. Their massive, hill-like bodies, along with their incredibly sharp teeth and claws made of a special alloy, gave them immense power.

The hunting dog used its laser sensor to locate Wang Lingli Huazi.
