Super God: If I punch you, you will die

In reality, money can buy mental health, but people in the lower classes really have no choice, so it becomes a closed loop, a vicious one.

So, is it true that a person's life is predetermined from birth, and they are destined for misery, or that they are destined for happiness?

This is like judging a child whose mind is not yet mature as a potential criminal, or even an infant still in swaddling clothes.

"By using this 'helmet,' you can eliminate the root cause of your stress. Your crime rate will indeed increase, but the method of overdosing on drugs can still mask the problem to some extent. Moreover, depending on the combination of drugs, you can 'control' the side effects... By deliberately causing a certain degree of mental and memory confusion, you can erase the 'criminal memories' from your mind. Even so, do you still think your crime rate will remain high?"

Kyoto.

Inside the pharmacy.

This is the only designated pharmacy.

The reception area inside the pharmacy is decorated in a very artistic, warm, and classy style. It doesn't look like a pharmacy's reception area, but rather like a coffee shop, and the kind of coffee shop that only owners with very good taste would have.

Moreover, there are no security guards here, which is probably for the patients' benefit, and that's a rather humane approach.

However, we still need to have a self-reliant security system.

Of course, some people have an even stronger aversion to them than humans do.

A man walked silently into the pharmacy. He wore a helmet, which, instead of making him appear inconspicuous, only drew more attention. He didn't go to the counter but instead headed towards the reception area, seemingly already familiar with the place.

The innermost room is the pharmacy.

Actually, although the place looks unguarded, there are actually color-coded inspection devices at the entrance for a simple check. Of course, this is just a rough check, not a precise one; it sets a minimum standard.

Entry is only permitted after passing the inspection.

But—why is a man wearing a helmet just walking in like this? Why didn't the color scan stop him? This all seems a bit strange. There were two people in the pharmacy room, a man and a woman, both wearing white coats. The male pharmacist was the first to see the helmeted man, and after a slight shock, he asked…

"Hand over the medicine on this piece of paper."

"Ah, this is a slightly... psychoactive drug, it requires a prescription from an authorized facility and biopsy data..."

"You...you don't understand?" The helmeted man suddenly pulled out a pair of scissors and, with lightning speed, stabbed the man in the throat, severing his trachea.

boom! !

Bang bang! ! !

The pharmacist's throat was bleeding, and the back of his head was being hit repeatedly. The female pharmacist seemed to realize the danger and cried for help towards the camera. This is the most basic reaction when life is threatened, the instinct to survive.

"Someone save me! Someone save me! Someone save me!"

"No, no one will save you. Quick... hand over the medicine." The peeping man's ballpoint pen pierced the female pharmacist's thigh. The desperate female pharmacist's eyes were chilling; her fingernails gripped the chair she could reach, but the chair couldn't save her. The last thing she saw was a pair of evil eyes peeking out from behind the helmet.

The incident happened too suddenly, and it is still unknown how the man passed the sex test.

The scene was quickly cordoned off, with a small number of onlookers outside the cordon, while the police's self-propelled guns faithfully guarded against anyone crossing the line.

The first to arrive at the scene were Ginoza and Tsunemori Akane.

They each put on a red jacket, while the executives were already in their positions in the cars nearby.

One after another, Yan, Zheng Lu, Teng, and Liu Hezhong emerged.

Distribution by the ruler.

Everything proceeded smoothly and methodically, without any disorder.

however--

Tsunemori Akane frowned, staring at the Dominator in her hand. She was already struggling internally. Her good friend had died tragically not long ago, and she had not yet recovered from the grief and anger, and of course, there was also a deep sense of self-blame.

Why didn't she notice her friend's unusual behavior? Why wasn't she by her side? Perhaps if she had someone to rely on, she wouldn't have gone to such extremes.

Tsunemori sighed.

"Hey." Yan patted Tsunemori Akane's shoulder with a little force. He had also noticed Tsunemori Akane's disappointed mood and did it on purpose.

"Wow."

The sudden fright relieved her, and Chang Shouzhu looked at Yan with even greater gratitude and admiration. At the same time, she felt a little guilty, as her friend's precious life had been saved by Yan single-handedly.

However, she failed to protect it.

"...I probably know what you're thinking."

The voice was very gentle, like a spring breeze brushing past the ear, or like a gentle rain nourishing the parched earth.

For Tsunemori Akane, this voice was the only salvation.

"Mr. Yan." Tsunemori was quite relaxed in Yan's presence; he had saved her from countless dangers. Yan often showed a gentle expression, making him a very solid support for her; as long as Yan was there, the sky wouldn't fall.

Although Tsunemori Zhu often reflected that he should not have relied on Yan too much.

Yet, I still find myself drawn closer and drawn to them involuntarily.

"Let's focus on the matter at hand now."

Yan's gentle tone turned firm as he spoke.

"……Yes."

Inside the pharmacy room.

The victim's body had been cleaned up, and almost all the evidence that could be examined had been collected. Meanwhile, the insect-like self-reliant machine was still doing its final work. Tsunemori Akane quickly went over to Ginoza to examine the collected evidence and clues.

"What's going on? What's this?" Ginoza's expression was somewhat displeased as he frowned slightly as he looked at everything on the scene.

"Judging from this, the matter itself is crystal clear," Zheng Lu said, also surveying his surroundings in thought.

"The prisoner entered openly through the entrance hall, killed the staff, arbitrarily took the expensive and powerful drugs, and then calmly left through the same door."

"The entire process was captured by surveillance cameras." Rokugozuka made simple arrangements of all the recordings for easier review, and these recordings were distributed to the executives' portable devices, as these were important clues.

The video clearly recorded the route the peeping man took to enter, his figure, and all the actions he made. One thing shocked Teng, and it was also a key point of suspicion in this case, as well as the biggest initial point of suspicion.

"What is this helmet... it's obviously suspicious."

“If it were merely suspicious, the security system wouldn’t have been activated. From the entrance, this person’s psycho=pass value has remained a clear, normal value. The scanner also has records.” Rokugozuka analyzed in depth; what they needed to do was analyze the entire process to make inferences and verify the information.

The final scene is the murder.

Even after obtaining the potion, the poor female pharmacist was still murdered, and her eyeballs were gouged out in a particularly cruel manner.

Screams sounded.

"Isn't he the same as Shinya Koga? He can kill people even when he's in Psycho=Pass mode." Although Tsubaki said it unintentionally, she still got a fierce glare from Tsunemori Akane. It was just a conditioned reflex, and then Tsunemori Akane looked away.

Ginoza was also very unhappy with Tsubaki's thoughtless remarks, as such remarks did not help advance the case at all.

"This helmet is probably the key. It must have some kind of ability to fool bio-scanning devices. The man named Shinya Koga who escaped from Inspector Tsunemori probably used the same device as well."

“…Is that so…”

Tsunemori Akane could not remain silent on this matter. Koga Shinya should be completely his original self and did not use any device to forge Psycho=Pass. Moreover, this cunning man should have other means to achieve the same goal, or rather, to do so in a more covert way.

"But can this helmet really be used to impersonate Psycho=Pass?"

“If it’s to block the bio-scan, that’s understandable…” Rokugozuka was also a little puzzled by this, and he slowly said, “Of course, this level of security won’t be able to break through. When someone who can’t be scanned passes through, the alarm will sound.”

"The problem is that the scanner detected 'psycho=pass' and determined that the hue indicates a kind citizen who wouldn't even kill a bug, right?" Yan said.

"It was an intrusion, wasn't it?" Teng made his judgment, seemingly unaffected by those minor unpleasant incidents.

"impossible."

Rokugozuka held the opposite view to Teng's statement, and his tone was very firm, as if he had already made his own judgment.

"It is impossible to commit a crime on the spot in such a short time without leaving any trace and altering the records."

This world is no longer the same as before. Long ago, civilizations relied on camera surveillance, but now the Sibyl System has spread to every corner. Except for private areas, all other places are covered with various surveillance facilities.

It's virtually impossible for someone to evade the Sibylla system's hue check; I've encountered this problem before, and indeed, some people do have the ability to bypass it. However, actually doing so is an incredibly difficult task.

“…This is troublesome.” Ginoza seemed to be talking to himself, but in reality, he was seriously thinking, various clues flashing through his mind as he made deductions and judgments. “The current security is designed based on the reliability of bio-scanning. Although it can identify and eliminate malicious people on the spot, if the psychopass is fine…it will be considered that no problems can occur, and passage will be unimpeded.”

“Actual harm also includes theft, but the AI ​​of the Autonomous Machines doesn’t have the capability to determine these crimes. Everyone just uses ‘psycho=pass’ as the criterion…” Suddenly, Akane Tsunemori seemed to recall something, but then she was startled by her own deduction, as if she had thought of something terrible. “…The methods that could counter these crimes no longer exist here…”

……

The discussion fell silent. In fact, all the speculations were based on nothing but conjecture.

Moreover, the unusual nature of this matter left them somewhat depressed.

at the same time.

On a street bustling with people and traffic.

Hiroko Fujii, a young girl with long hair, is talking on the phone with her boyfriend.

She is resting now.

The person she was to meet was the perfect romantic partner chosen for her by the Sibyl System. The Sibyl System not only completely controls people's thoughts, but the greatest fear in the world is that if the Sibyl System judges someone as a potential criminal, that person's life is completely over. Furthermore, people cannot have any emotional fluctuations, nor can they show any rebellious sentiment towards the Sibyl System. This is inherently a paradox; human nature is uncontrollable, and people's inner thoughts are not something one person can control.

So much so.

Something absurd happened.

That is, underage children who are not yet mentally mature are also identified as potential criminals, and Teng is one of the victims, an innocent person.

Furthermore, people like Hiroko Fujii even rely on the Sibyl System's choices for their private lives, such as romantic relationships. It's likely that even pregnancy and childbirth will be entirely dependent on the Sibyl System's decisions, including the subsequent education of their children. Ninety-five percent of the citizens in this world are like this, conforming to the Sibyl System's choices.

They only want to conform to the Sibylla system.

"I heard it's not a projection, but an aquarium hotel with real water tanks and tropical fish swimming around."

"It must be very difficult to make an appointment, right?"

"Hmm, but do you remember? It's almost the anniversary of finding out your romantic aptitude..."

"Liar, you remember this too?"

"I remember... although that's what I think, it was actually my AI secretary who reminded me."

"This is nothing, but I'm very happy."

A man wearing a helmet and a coat approached on the street; this man was a criminal.

0184 Murder in the Street [Please Subscribe]

This street is no exception, riddled with Sibyl System surveillance. Everyone passing through is subject to regular crime checks, but even such a comprehensive network cannot cover all crimes, so the police are needed to deal with the rest. These are the surveillance officers and enforcers, tasked with finding those who slip through the Sibyl System's net.

The Inspectors and Executives hold the power of the Sibyl System, which determines whether individuals can be eliminated. If elimination is deemed possible, the individual is subjected to a direct human explosion.

bloody.

cruel.

It's utterly inhumane.

Human enforcers have no control over their actions; whether or not they fire a gun is not something they can control with their own willpower.

It did this to make an example of someone. No, this is the will of those behind the Sibyl system; after all, the Sibyl system is merely a tool created by humans. It's like humans creating gods, and they want to use these tools to manipulate people's hearts.

For example, the Sibyl system has brainwashed everyone. To the point that people never imagined a criminal could appear so openly on the street, even so casually, as if he had never done those dirty and ugly things.

Suddenly, someone appeared in front of Hiroko Fujii, deliberately blocking her path. Such a person blocking another's way is bound to cause resentment. So Hiroko Fujii tried to avoid him and take a detour.

Hiroko Fujii was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder, and she uncontrollably lurched towards the man.

"What are you going to do?"

Hiroko Fujii was furious at this unreasonable behavior. If she had known that the person was a criminal, she probably wouldn't have been so angry, but rather fearful.

suddenly--

The peeping man pulled out a small hammer, and Hiroko Fujii couldn't even react in time. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she didn't have time to react further.

bang-

Hiroko Fujii felt a sharp blow to the temple, and her neck snapped like a broken branch, causing her to fall forward. Her limbs convulsed and twitched uncontrollably.
