"Chang Shouzhu, composite photo."

“Memory capture. That is, directly reading visual information from memory from brainwaves and then image it.”

"Ah, wait a minute, could it be..."

"Shu-chan, it seems like you want to use that to recreate En Seigo's appearance... So far, Shu-chan is the only one who can clearly see the face of that guy named En."

“This is a forced memory retracing experience! And why must you remember someone who has already been killed? Could it be that the person you killed back then wasn’t the real person…” Teng continued, his guess this time was actually a little more plausible, and he suddenly realized something.

“...I know. That’s why everyone wants to stop her. Even Zhu can’t be completely immune to crime.”

"Then why...?"

“I can make the call for you… Ah, but you absolutely cannot say that I told you. Zhu gave me an order from the Inspector not to say anything. ‘Especially to Mr. Kogami, the memory capture matter must be kept secret.’”

"That idiot...!"

He muttered a complaint under his breath; that guy had already made his escape. That subtle feeling in his heart was now even stronger. No wonder he'd had that lingering sense of unease after defeating Makishima Shogo; now he understood.

So, in other words—

That cunning fellow escaped once again.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded: [Ding, this system task was not completed, but there are still rewards for the completed part. Please check.]

Even if the mission fails, there is still a reward, which is good. I just don't know what the reward will be this time.

[Ding, would you like to accept the reward?]

"accept."

There was no need to think about it; Yan chose 'accept' without hesitation.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained mission *1. Please choose one of the following abilities.]

"It's nice to have options, but I don't have high expectations for the abilities. The fact that I can choose is good in itself." Yan muttered to himself, "Let me see what abilities I can choose. I wonder if there are any interesting ones."

Aizen Susuke's Kyoka Suigetsu (Initial Explanation); Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami; Onoki's Dust Shield; Uchiha Izanami; Shiki the Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit.

Aside from Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu, I haven't encountered any of the others.

Aizen's Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, is a Kido-type Zanpakuto that provides complete hypnosis.

Moreover, this man has the ability to completely hypnotize people, and can control people's senses, making them accept the altered appearance, quality, texture, and smell of things.

Once someone has witnessed the moment of liberation even once, their five senses, including their spiritual perception, can be completely hypnotized. This includes all members of the Gotei 13.

This is a rather cunning and terrifying man, a villain of absolute intelligence and ability, and he's also gained considerable popularity. This is the charm of Diaoyu Kingdom's anime, which has garnered a large number of fans. Bad guys aren't just bad guys; after all, the world isn't that simple.

That kind of black-and-white value system is fundamentally flawed.

0172 Tsunemori Akane's Determination [Please Subscribe]

In the police station's analyst lab, Tang Zhidu, Zhu, and Yinuoza gathered together once again. They were all in the analysis lab. The brainwave device was being set up; Tang Zhidu was busy with it, while Tsunemori Zhu received the news.

She glanced at it and saw that the caller was Yan.

"...Inflammation?"

Ginoza didn't seem overly shocked, speaking calmly as if he had expected this day to come, but just not so soon. As it turned out, this was understandable, given Yan's undeniable excellence.

It's harder than climbing to heaven for them to hide this from the man.

Ginoza was neither calm nor angry.

"Yes. It must have been Tengjun who snitched."

"Shouldn't you have told that guy?"

"No need. He's definitely trying to stop me. He's been acting so recklessly all along..."

Without hesitation, Tsunemori Akane drank the capsule. This capsule could help her capture past memories more accurately. After drinking the capsule, she took off her coat, and now she was only wearing a thin T-shirt.

“I also object.” Ginoza’s expression was somewhat subtle when he said this. It wasn’t anger or any other emotion, but rather it seemed abrupt, since there had been no indication that he would express such an attitude beforehand.

"Your PSYCHO=PASS was already traumatized by that incident. To experience it again..."

"I can't forget that scene anyway," Tsunemori Akane said with unusual firmness, her eyes filled with determination, as if this was something she absolutely had to do, and no one could stop her from making this decision. This concerned her best friend, and no one knew what that poor girl was thinking in the end. But the only thing that was certain was that this girl paid the price with her life, and from this day forward, this lovely life would never exist again in this world.

This is the saddest thing ever.

Life, in any era, should be respected and is the most precious thing.

At least that's how Tsunemori Akane sees it.

She has always been a kind girl, with a soft and compassionate heart.

"I'll definitely dream about it again in the future, no matter how many times... So, if I can share this memory with everyone, I might feel better. Well, there's no basis for that."

"It's too dangerous. In the worst-case scenario, it could worsen the crime rate."

"Because the chief ordered that a public search cannot be conducted, right?"

"In short, this is a sensitive issue, and a special team is investigating it. Don't waste time talking about what's happening underground until the results are in."

"...I can't wait for the investigation results. Without making it public, it's extremely difficult to collect evidence. Memory capture is necessary," Zhu said with a firm tone and intense gaze.

"but……"

"Even if it increases the crime rate, it doesn't matter. Even if I become an enforcer, I will still catch Yan Shenghu."

"Don't say things like that! Do you know how irresponsible you are? Why make such a foolish decision? I hope you think it through."

"Let me think about it one last time."

Ginoza was completely enraged. His voice rose several decibels, and it was clear that he had been suppressing his emotions, but now he had truly reached his breaking point, which was why he exploded.

This anger did not deter Tsunemori Akane in the slightest.

She smiled slightly.

This wasn't a relieved smile; it was a resolute one. Tsunemori Akane had made up her mind; this matter was inevitable.

“Mr. Ginoza… I sincerely thank you for your concern. But it’s alright. Because my only advantage is that PSYCHO=PASS is hard to muddy.”

"........."

"Ready to go. Zhu Jiang, sit here." Tang Zhidu had completed his work perfectly. This head-mounted device, with its various transmission lines, looked like a treatment instrument for a seriously ill person. Frankly, the design had no aesthetic appeal whatsoever.

It is purely functional.

Tsunemori Akane lay down on it without hesitation, and everything proceeded smoothly, unstoppable even by Ginoza.

"Your physical condition and PSYCHO=PASS are constantly monitored. If anything happens, I will stop based on my own judgment."

"I believe in Miss Tang Zhidu."

"I'm trusted now. OK, OK."

Tang Zhidu put the head-mounted player on Tsunemori Akane, and Tsunemori Akane's final expression made Ginoza's heart skip a beat. It was a resolute expression of being faced with certain death, an expression that had never been seen even on the faces of those executors.

"...carefully recall the scene when you met the prisoner."

"……yes……

“Once I detect a brain signal associated with this memory, I amplify it. This improves the accuracy of memory capture. However, it is foreseeable that this will cause a considerable mental burden…”

“I’m already aware of that.”

"Great, let's begin."

After the program started, Akane Tsunemori had to try her best to recall everything that happened, including the details. Of course, human memory varies, but Akane Tsunemori was an exceptionally gifted individual. Although she couldn't recall all the details, she had the help of the capsules and ultimately relied on their experience.

……

“I want to see the brilliance of the human soul. I want to confirm that it is truly something worthy of respect. But is it really valuable to those who do not question their own will and merely obey the oracle of the Sibylla system?”

Memories are fragmented; the world is like a jigsaw puzzle.

This statement is actually quite apt.

This is the current state of Tsunemori Akane's world. Meanwhile, En saw through the system the scenes of Tsunemori Akane's memories at this moment, and ultimately, she still chose this path. En could have tried his best to stop her, even if he failed the first time, he could have forcibly rewritten this girl's future. But could he really do that? Or was it truly meaningful? Or was becoming the executor already Tsunemori Akane's destiny?

The images from Tsunemori Akane's memories reminded Yan of an anime he had once watched, which also featured a similar world, like a jigsaw puzzle. This world seemed so sorrowful, as if every detail was permeated with sadness.

0174 Danger [Please Subscribe]

In the novel *ID: Intrusion*, the police use a system called "Mizuhanome" (meaning "Woman of the Mizuhan") to detect murderous intent and investigate criminal organizations known as "Kura" (meaning "warehouse").

Then, Detective Sakaido, as the operator of "Mizuhanome," enters the criminal's deep psychological "world of murderous intent" to deduce the case.

He relentlessly pursues the frequent, mysterious, and heinous events, and the ever-present shadow of the serial killer "John Walker." One of these worlds is a fragmented one, like a room floating in mid-air, perhaps only half of it, with a precipice at the door.

Various possibilities exist; this is a fragmented world, and so do Tsunemori Akane's memories.

Tsunemori Zhu —

Dominator——

Fragmented information.

"Crime coefficient? 48? Non-executive target? Trigger locked" An old-fashioned razor? Yan saw himself in Tsunemori Akane's memory slashing at Yuki.

"Crime coefficient: 32; Non-target; Trigger locked"

"No... save me... Zhu..."

"You're Tsunemori Akane? Why do you have a mushroom-shaped hairstyle?"

"Look, your index finger feels the weight of life, doesn't it? This is something Sibylla's puppet could never understand—the weight of the meaning of decision-making."

"Crime coefficient below 120? Not a target for enforcement? Trigger locked."

“…What a pity. What a pity, Inspector Tsunemori.” Yuki’s slender neck. The veins on her white skin were clearly visible. “You’ve disappointed me. So you must be punished.” En placed the razor against Yuki’s neck and sliced ​​it open in one swift motion. “Crime coefficient? Zero—” “No!” “—Non-target? Trigger locked”

“—Ahhhh!”

Tsunemori Akane's body suddenly trembled, and her mournful cries were extremely chilling. The trembling became more and more intense.

"Hey!"

Ginoza glared fiercely at Tang Zhidu and roared at him.

"I know, the forced termination is over!" Tang Zhidu hadn't expected this to happen; it was completely unexpected. He quickly stopped all the procedures, and Tsunemori's stiffness immediately eased, but she felt utterly weak. After the head-mounted device was removed, Tsunemori was seen staring blankly, tears streaming down her face.

"Cheer up, stay on as the surveillance officer!"

"..." Tsunemori Akane didn't say a word, as if she had no reaction to Ginoza's words or to the outside world.

Ginoza felt that things were getting increasingly wrong.

Did the expected thing really happen? Was it the worst-case scenario, the one Ginoza least wanted to see?

Ginoza raised his voice and shouted louder.

"Chang Shouzhu!"

“…Ginoza…Mr.?” Tsunemori Akane seemed to gradually regain a little bit of life, and her eyes regained some brightness. Suddenly, she vomited violently. This vomiting was a direct reaction of the body, which could not be controlled by personal willpower.

"...Memory capture successful. Begin portrait processing immediately." Tang Zhidu quickly began the process. She didn't want Chang Shouzhu's risky work to go to waste; she was determined to complete it beautifully and perfectly.

0175 PSYCHO = PASS [Please Subscribe]

"What about her PSYCH=Pass?" Ginoza wasn't concerned about the outcome, but rather about the state of Tsunemori Akane's PSYCH=Pass. If the PSYCH=Pass turned out as expected, then such a talented person as Tsunemori Akane would be ruined, which would be a huge loss, something Ginoza didn't want to see.

Tang Zhidu hadn't expected Ginoza to be so angry, and she hurriedly checked Zhu's health.

"Yes, it's alright. The hue curve is within the prescribed range. The crime coefficient is also... although it rose slightly, it has stabilized at the normal level."

Ginoza was watching Tsunemori Akane with 100% focus, his main interest being her PSYCHO=PASS.

"...Right? Am I alright?" Tsunemori Akane was a little tired, but she was still doing well; her willpower was very strong.

"You...you've gone to this extent..."

Ginoza couldn't even bear to look at Tsunemori Akane. The torment Tsunemori Akane endured was unimaginable to ordinary people; otherwise, she wouldn't have vomited like that.

What's most heartbreaking is Tsunemori Akane's smile; she's like a mirror, reflecting the hearts of those who try to see into her soul with her transparent hue.
