Super God: If I punch you, you will die

……

Time flew by, and after some time, Yan finally left the hospital. Actually, they wanted to investigate what kind of conspiracy that person had plotted to conduct such a comprehensive investigation into Yan's body; of course, it's also possible they had their own ulterior motives.

"You're finally back," Rokugozuka asked, showing a bit too much concern for Yan, though it didn't seem like it was fake.

“I threatened the doctor that if I stayed in the hospital any longer, I would set fire to the ward.”

Yan answered with a grin, leaving people wondering whether he had actually threatened the doctor, but Teng was somewhat convinced that Yan would actually do so.

Or rather, it's true that they might use unconventional methods.

For example, seducing a nurse, after all, Yan's outstanding appearance is appealing to all ages, with a handsome face and perfect figure that makes men jealous.

God was biased in creating things; who says that people are born fair?

"As expected of Yan-chan."

Teng raised an eyebrow

"Just kidding, I actually convinced the doctor. —Speaking of which, how is Inspector Tsunemori's health?"

“She’s receiving psychiatric care in the infirmary. But judging from Tang Zhidu’s diagnosis, she should recover soon,” Rokugozuka said. She remained expressionless as always, but her words conveyed admiration for Zhu.

"Don't be fooled by her cute expression as she sits there; she's actually terrified." Teng truly admired Tsunemori Akane's courage; it was something not everyone could face. Teng knew this better than anyone else, which is why he acted this way.

"Fortunately, Psycho=pass did not reach the red zone."

"...What do you plan to do if something happens?"

"You're not the only one worried. But it's precisely because of the risks that we achieve results." Rokugozuka stepped onto the computer and quickly finished everything. He was right; such a task had indeed come at a great cost. If they gave up, they would be letting Tsunemori Akane down.

"We questioned people at Sakura-shimo Academy and found him immediately. Both teachers and students testified that this person was Shibata Norimori, an art lecturer. He has now been arrested as an important reference in the Ooro Rihanako case."

“Just now, I checked the street camera footage.” Teng also released a holographic image. “It hit the mark immediately, right in front of Akiko Sugawara’s apartment. Remember her? Spookyboggie. The victim of the Talisman incident.”

"The facial recognition priority settings are also in place. Next time, we'll receive a notification the moment this guy makes a move. The matter with Funahara Yuki is regrettable... but at least the Inspector can finally get his revenge."

"We have to admit it, Tsunemori Akane is really tenacious." Rokugozuka's words made a lot of sense, and En thought so too.

So he nodded.

For the people of this world, nothing is worse than Psycho=pass deteriorating, which means their lives are completely ruined. Yan, having taken that person's place, understands the immense impact of such a premature exit on a person. Anything that could affect Psycho=pass deterioration must be avoided at all costs; this is the most basic principle.

Tsunemori Akane's actions, such risky behavior, are things that ordinary people cannot understand, absolutely cannot understand.

Yan glanced around the room, seemingly casually.

"Compared to this, where is Gino? That idiot, how could he allow Tsunemori to do something so dangerous?"

"Just after four o'clock, he said he was going out for a little while. And then he never came back."

"So, Father Zheng Lu isn't here either."

Meanwhile, on the roof of the building.

The wind is blowing.

The view from here was very expansive. Ginoza and Seiryu stood in front of the windshield, unsure of how to begin.

"You called me out here, is it going to snow tomorrow...?" Zheng Lu was still in the mood to joke, but he didn't find it funny at all.

"The probability of precipitation tomorrow, whether it's day or night, is zero." Ginoza's expression was very solemn. He was very angry and confused about Tsunemori Akane's matter, and then such a terrible and dangerous thing happened. It was only natural for him to be like this.

"That's what they used to say, really. ...So, what's the matter?"

"The consultant said..."

"Um?"

To be honest, Ginoza hesitated. If he did something like this now, what would his previous assertiveness mean? This wasn't just about dignity; there were deeper issues involved, which was the main reason why Ginoza suddenly stopped.

"No... I have a few questions about Inspector Tsunemori." In the end, Ginoza changed the subject slightly and spoke up.

"What's wrong, miss?"

"Why isn't that guy's genitals cloudy? What kind of stress treatment did he receive?"

"You're asking me about this..."

“You’re closer to her than I am to her.” In Ginoza’s view, Seiji was indeed closer to Tsunemori Akane than to him. Although one of them was an executive officer and the other was an inspector, seemingly in the position of supervisor and being monitored, Seiji and Ginoza were different. He was easier to get along with.

"I don't know. Miss is Miss, and I am me."

As dusk fell, the setting sun painted the entire world crimson. This made the world appear incredibly peaceful and gentle, yet at this moment, his heart was heavy. Ginoza even had thoughts he wouldn't normally have, and his mind began to wander.

Ginoza was unable to continue speaking and remained silent for a moment.

Zheng Lu frowned slightly but continued speaking.

"All I can say is that the young lady is not afraid of her crime rate at all."

“These kinds of guys are everywhere around me…!” Ginoza’s anger surged to his head, and he could hardly control his emotions as he shouted loudly.

This incident is also a scar on Ginoza's body, as that memory will never be erased from his mind.

That is his eternal pain.

"Inspector Tsunemori is one, Yan is one... and you are one too." As he spoke, his tone changed slightly, a change that seemed abrupt.

"Yan and I are already in this state, but I hope that young lady will be alright."

"Why do you think that?" Ginoza asked.

In fact, for Tsunemori Akane, Seiryu was watching her with the mindset of an elder, observing her confusion and growth, her hesitation and determination.

There has always been a sense of regret, a sense of cherishing, and a sense of pity.

“That child forgives, accepts, and embraces this world. So even walking a tightrope is okay for her. She firmly believes in the meaning and value of criminal justice without any doubt. The only thing that child can’t do is ignore the Sibyl System.”

"...Weren't you like this back then?"

"Me? Phew, yes..."

Zheng Lu looked into the distance, perhaps not seeing anything at all, but that was no longer important. What mattered was the core of their conversation—Zhang Shouzhu.

"It was the same until then. Seeing that lady would bring back memories. I would realize that even someone like me used to believe in things like justice, just like that child. But one day, this piece of junk called the Sibyl System suddenly appeared, and the world changed in an instant. It gave us guns that could speak, ordering us to shoot, arrest, and kill according to its will from now on. This thing... this is not the criminal work I envisioned. It neither collects evidence nor conducts trials, but simply lets machines judge people's crimes. It's infuriating. I became uneasy about what the world would become. 'This is wrong,' the more I thought about it, the angrier and more frustrated I became... That's when Psycho=pass became murky."

"Since you have so many questions... why don't you quit your job in criminal investigation? Just for your unwilling lifestyle, you've dragged me and my mother into this? Enough is enough. At this point, how dare you spout such nonsense?"

Zheng Lu seemed somewhat agitated as he scratched his hair, then let out a heavy sigh—this was unlike his usual self.

"...I see. I keep saying I hate it, but I still end up doing criminal work. And it's still the same now. At this age, I can't imagine any other life I could have."

Ginoza gave a cold laugh.

“You rejected Sibylla, and Sibylla rejected you. Then a new order was born. From that chaotic world heading towards destruction, only this nation emerged.”

"Yeah. Maybe I was wrong. It's true, this generation is more peaceful and wealthier than the generation I grew up in. Once I accepted that and started to feel that everything was fine, my crime rate stopped rising. It seems like I've finally been able to compromise with this world. ...By the way, how are you? Is your Psycho=pass still keeping its clear color?"

"This is not what you expected."

"Getting promoted to a management position is very strict, isn't it? The standards are very high."

"It's none of your business to worry about this. Do you still want to act like a father now?"

"What's wrong with a subordinate caring about a superior who wants to rise to prominence?"

"..."

"Just like I said before. If you have doubts about this job, everything will seem suspicious. Be careful. Right in front of you, there might be a trap like the one I fell into."

Ginoza actually has a soft side, even though his attitude towards Yan was so resolute, even somewhat cruel. Finding Zheng Lu was also a very difficult thing for Ginoza, after all, it was his scar, a scar from his life.

The father of that potential criminal.

Zheng Lu, known as "Old Man," is a seasoned veteran. He has a masculine yet approachable personality and usually works alongside Tsunemori, guiding her on the proper procedures for investigating crime scenes.

One of his hands appears to be a prosthesis; he has a love for art.

This man was friendly; even when he was disguised as "Taro" and carrying out his mission, he didn't forget to greet passersby.

He has a certain tendency to jinx things; as soon as he says "it's nothing," trouble comes his way.

Although the two people have different surnames, who can say that a child must take the father's surname? Ginoza's surname should be inherited from the mother. Moreover, for Ginoza, not having the same surname as his father is probably a relief to him.

and--

Police station.

Director's Office.

He Shengrang lay there as if asleep, but something peculiar was attached to the back of her head, eventually connecting to the office terminal. On the other end was a screen, flooded with information like a tsunami, and He Shengrang's body convulsed slightly. On the screen appeared a composite of Zhu's memories—it was actually that person's image.

He suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and seemed to have returned to his usual self, even showing a smile in the next second.

"We've been thoroughly investigated. There's nowhere to hide, Saint Protector."

So, Makishima Shogo really isn't dead. As for how he did it, even Kasei Rangsou has no idea. Yan, equally interested in Makishima Shogo and Kasei Rangsou, revealed a wicked smile.

The one who smiled was naturally Yan.

He smiled.

"Shogo Makishima, I didn't expect you to have a backup plan. Next time, I'll make sure you die a horrible death. We'll see. This is what happens when you try to fool me. I'll make you experience it for yourself."

The Sibyl System is a fictional social management system in Psycho-Pass. It is a comprehensive support system that measures citizens' "PSYCHO-PASS" scores, diagnoses their deep-seated psychological desires, and assesses their occupational suitability.

The prototype of the Sybil system is a group of brains of individuals who are exempt from judgment, meaning that the system itself is still based on human rational thinking and judgment made by the group.

PsychoPass itself aims to make life easier for humans under mechanical judgments, increase psychological transparency, and reduce crime rates and promote social stability by deriving crime indices through relatively impartial mechanical rather than subjective judgments.

However, psychological indices can fluctuate and react differently in specific situations.

For example, in the second episode, the psychological index of the hostage who was coerced was clouded by fear. The Sybil system simply tested the index, but Akane Tsunemori rationally prevented the system from shooting her.

While the Sibyls can be seen as an extreme embodiment of the rule of law, their essence is nothing more than a group of cold-blooded minds exercising dictatorship over the country, using the machinery of justice to carry out a form of suppression of individual consciousness akin to "burning books and burying scholars alive."

We all expect a society governed by the rule of law to provide us with the greatest fairness and justice, but we forget that the rule of law is also a product of human beings. Being too obsessed with it will backfire, and there are only two paths to take if we do not comply with it: one is Makishima Shogo, and the other is Tsunemori Akane.

Akane Tsunemori can be said to be the only person in this anime who has an extraordinary understanding of human nature. She can treat every person with tainted appearances with kindness and compassion. On the other hand, after learning about Sybil's true nature, she chooses not to expose her.

She was not Sybil's most loyal protector, because she knew that Sybil was not a god, but a human being, one of the majority.

She wasn't facing just one system, but an entire nation. While powerless to change the situation, she still managed to secure the best possible outcome, giving Kogami a chance to live. The stark contrast between ruthlessness and compassion is obvious.

This anime may depict the confrontation between people and extreme legal systems, but I think it is more about people's struggle and resistance when they gradually lose their self-awareness.

Extreme legal systems may restrict people's behavior, but that doesn't mean they should become decadent or go against the grain.

When a person is aware of the loopholes in the legal system, they can still maintain their clarity and sensibility. No matter how cold-blooded or conscienceless this essentially dictatorial mechanical system may be, they can still live peacefully to the end.

The most thorough resistance is not anger and riots, not smoke and war, but drawing a line between oneself and cold-bloodedness from the very beginning, and preserving the initial clarity and unchanging perception in numbness.

In this world where Sibylla is God and he reigns, "medicine" is of paramount importance.

The role of medication is to prevent the crime rate from worsening.

Psychopass is a palliative that is not addictive and has a high safety profile. However, if taken in excess, it can cause many side effects.

side effect?

so what.

Mental health gained at the cost of physical health is the only way to be considered a normal human being in this world.

The original intention of the Sibylla system should have been the happiness of all people.

However, reality is complex and cruel.
