Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Therefore, even if Chang Shouzhu sleeps in a bad posture, he will not get sick.

Tsunemori suddenly stretched out her limbs and lay sideways on the bed, still in a dream and not yet awake.

And at this time.

The indicator light on the intelligence terminal located next to the pillow began to flash.

A slight vibration.

This is also an adjustment mode, so as not to wake the owner.

To the soft notification tone, Tsunemori Akane's eyelashes trembled slightly, then she opened her eyes, her sleepy appearance quite adorable. She knew it was an email notification, but she didn't want to check it; only one thought occupied her mind: she wished she could sleep forever.

The email notification sounded again.

Tsunemori Akane squirmed reluctantly, much like a child unwilling to get out of bed in the morning, being urged to do so by their mother. This time, the notification sound was different; it indicated that this was an email from a friend or family member.

Tsunemori knew that she couldn't leave it unattended, so after letting out a few muffled groans, she had no choice but to open her eyes with some impatience.

The voice was still a little slurred.

"Hmm, what's wrong...?"

It turns out to be Yuki Funahara.

"I have something important to tell you. It might be related to the incident at the police station. It's not easy to say over the phone or online." These words completely woke Tsunemori Akane from her drowsy state. Her sleepy eyes widened, and she sat up straight.

"……Um?"

"Meeting in person is the fastest way. The address is in the attachment. Let's meet there tomorrow at 3 PM. I'm so sorry for the suddenness! I'll wait for you."

The next morning.

Tsunemori Akane could wait no longer and set off early in the morning. She glanced at the location sent by Funahara Yuki, set the autopilot, and the car headed towards its destination. In the passenger seat, Yan remained completely calm, his expression unchanged.

Let's be partners.

If she had to put it into words, Akane Tsunemori believed she and En were partners. However, as Inspectors, and En's role as an Enforcer, it was impossible for them to be partners; according to the established rules, this wouldn't hold true. More importantly, En had always been Ginoza's partner, and they shared a deep bond, although they sometimes had disagreements.

While speaking with Yuki's mother using an intelligence terminal, Yuki's mother sounded uneasy and anxious, and kept asking questions.

"...Yes, that email was the last one...Kaori too, of course...Yes, there hasn't been any contact since yesterday...Yes...Yes, yes...If anything happens, I'll contact you immediately. That's all for now..." Tsunemori Akane was very serious about this matter; she would do everything in her power to find Funahara Yuki and ensure her safety.

Yuki Funahara's mother's voice also sounded anxious.

This is understandable.

What mother in this world doesn't worry about her child?

Tsunemori expressed understanding and sympathy for this.

"Didn't you go home either...?"

"It's only been one night, so we can't issue a search request yet."

"What if it's a prank?"

"Although she often makes jokes about her, she's not the kind of child who would do such a bad thing."

"...Well, it would be best to go and confirm it."

"I'm sorry, you weren't on duty."

"That's great. I can't even go for a walk without you by my side."

"Blurring the lines between public and private interests? This counts."

"As long as Gino doesn't find out, there won't be any problems."

If Ginoza found out, he would definitely stop their actions. Tsunemori Akane knew this, which is why she sought out Yan, who always acted according to his own principles rather than being bound by stubborn, outdated systems and rules. In him, Tsunemori Akane found many commonalities.

This is an abandoned area.

This abandoned area reminded Tsunemori Akira of a past visual drug case, as it shared a similar feel with the environment here.

What if it were an achievement instead of a failure?

"In order to establish the sense of 'us living earnestly,' we need objects of comparison. Abandoned areas and their inhabitants fulfilled this mission."

"The media even treats the homeless as a 'reserve force' of potential criminals, inciting panic among citizens."

Tsunemori Akane had an idea in her mind.

So what exactly is wrong with this city?

Especially after her interactions with potential criminals, Tsunemori Akane's doubts deepened and multiplied. These doubts, like a kitten's paw, constantly tickled her heart; they weren't fatal, but they lingered deep within her.

Perhaps Ginoza did have questions, but he chose to avoid them.

No.

It's not just about avoiding it; it's also about a deep fear of the matter.

It's understandable that Ginoza would make such a choice and have such an attitude, after all, he has a father who is a potential criminal, which has a great influence on his life.

Especially in shaping and defining his personality.

even so--

Emotionally speaking, Tsunemori Akane is understandable, but understanding does not mean that it is allowed or that it is the right thing to do.

Her mind was in complete chaos.

Tsunemori Akane's complexion remained completely clear, meaning that the Sibylla System accepted Tsunemori Akane's inner judgment and punishment. Even if there were some doubts about Tsunemori Akane's presence in the abandoned area, this was still within the reasonable scope deemed by the Sibylla System.

This is a regional area.

The only thing is—the Sibyl System is always right. For example, Tsunemori Akane has seen situations where two people with no emotional foundation become lovers simply because the Sibyl System deems them a suitable couple. Or, some people choose their careers based on the career choices made by the Sibyl System. For instance, Tsunemori Akane was like that; the Sibyl System thought she was suitable for this job, so she chose it without hesitation.

It has nothing to do with personal choices or preferences.

In fact, the Criminal Investigation Department's staffing of surveillance officers is insufficient, meaning the department is severely lacking in personnel for this role. However, the entire operational system is flawless, with no loopholes whatsoever.

The system is currently running perfectly smoothly.

"Judging from the emails... it's in the basement of this building..."

"...Is your friend someone who usually hangs out in places like this?" Yan asked after scanning the surroundings.

"No, how could that be? Actually... isn't that a little strange?"

"What do you mean 'slightly'? This is obviously very strange. It's undoubtedly a trap, and you're the target."

"...Me? That...by whom?"

"Have you done anything that would make people hate you, Mom?"

"How could that be!"

"...Well, you really don't have any sense of criminal responsibility, do you?"

"What is Lian Yan even saying?!"

When she said this, Tsunemori Akane was a little sullen, but she wasn't as emotionally agitated as before. After all, she would still hold back in front of someone she admired and adored. Tsunemori Akane pouted, which made her look rather cute.

"...Anyway, it's true that your friend has gotten into trouble. I'll go check it out; you wait here."

"But if this is really a trap, then it's dangerous."

A trap?

After receiving the news, Tsunemori Akane was only worried about her friend's safety and didn't consider anything else, such as whether it was a trap or whether she would be in danger if she went there rashly.

Furthermore, she believes that if someone sets a trap, street scanning will naturally find them, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to avoid street scanning.

"So, if two people are together, who will call for help?"

Yan said with a serious expression.

Tsunemori Akane felt for the first time that En was making a mountain out of a molehill, but she didn't express her feelings excessively.

"I'll leave the weapons license to you."

"Ah...yes."

Tsunemori Akane quickly inserted the intelligence terminal into the authentication system in the cargo compartment of the anonymous police car.

"Police station Criminal Investigation Division 1, Public Vehicle Registration No. 776, Emergency Equipment Storage System, please state the purpose of use."

This is the voice of artificial intelligence, and it's just a routine inquiry from the system.

"Chang Shouzhu, use your surveillance officer authority to request the armament of Executive Officer Kogen Shinya Linyan."

"Voiceprint and ID authentication. Recognized Level 2 equipment."

After unlocking it, Yan was surprised to find that there were only electric shock batons and tear gas, but no Dominator. He was not only astonished, but he also looked down on these two weapons.

"I'll leave the navigation to you. You have a map of the locations, right?"

"Yes, the data is old, but at least it's available."

"I'm going."

"Please be careful."

At Tsunemori Akane's admonition, Yan strode towards the abandoned building. He carried a flashlight, heading deeper into the shadows. The abandoned building was completely unusable, and severely damaged, making it impossible to determine its original purpose or what it once was. The map on Yan's information device showed that the building had four underground levels.

The entire space was filled with a rotten smell.

The area illuminated by the flashlight was littered with trash.

Moreover, the air inside was extremely humid. Generally speaking, even abandoned buildings wouldn't have this much household waste. Yan touched the wall slightly and felt the damp, sticky texture.

The level of humidity is beyond imagination.

It looked as if it had been soaked in water.

"How is it, Mr. Yan?"

"It's nothing special. It just smells terrible."

"Excuse me... Is anyone there?"

"No."

A door appeared ahead, a very heavy, airtight door. Airtight doors are only used in special buildings with specific requirements. Why would an airtight door appear in a building like this, and what is its purpose?

Although Yan had no evidence, he sensed something amiss based on his experience, and this sense of unease was constantly growing stronger. After a moment's thought, Yan stepped into the airtight door.

"Inside—"

A noisy sound was heard.

Tsunemori Akane's communications were suddenly cut off.

"...Hello?" Yan's body paused, his eyes changing. He frantically called out to his intelligence terminal, "Hello, Inspector, what's wrong? Answer me."

"...Sensitivity is good. Please continue."

Suddenly, the communication was restored, as if it had never been interrupted.

"........."

The sense of incongruity continues to grow.

Yan frowned. This sense of unease had no theoretical basis, so it wasn't convenient to take any action. He continued walking deeper into the area. Everything around him was constantly changing; this didn't feel like a basement, but more like a sewer system.

That sense of unease kept spreading in Yan's mind.

This sense of incongruity made him suspicious.

But--.
