Super God: If I punch you, you will die

The poor woman couldn't even utter a sound of alarm.

The peeping man continued to tap her knees, legs, elbows, and other joints. The onlookers witnessed this but could do nothing about it.

They were already puppets, devoid of any power. The man continued to tear at the woman in full view of everyone, while on the other end of the terminal, one could even hear the tender words of a lover, completely unaware of what was happening.

"Hiroko, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"help me……"

This was the last sentence, a sentence squeezed out with all one's might, a desperate cry for help from a dying person.

The woman reached out towards the self-supporting machine.

But then—snap—her hand was broken.

In this absurd world, criminals kill with abandon, yet no one can save that poor woman. The autonomous machine is unable to judge the man's crimes; it is utterly powerless.

In this world, everyone's life and property safety depend on the Sibyl System. Once the Sibyl System collapses, the world will also collapse, which is a very terrifying thing for IE.

"Someone save me, save me."

The poor woman continued to plead.

But such pleas will not elicit any sympathy at all.

The Sibyl System is not merely a monitor; it is a tentacle probing into the depths of everyone's heart, capable of reaching the most authentic thoughts within each individual. The Sibyl System is not a cage; a cage can only confine a person's body, while the Sibyl System confines a person's mind.

In one's heart?

Perhaps it is the soul.

Some things seem wonderful on the surface, such as eradicating crime at its root. However, behind the beauty often lies a cruel and bloody reality, which some people simply cannot see, or some people simply do not want everyone to see.

The world is cruel.

But is the human heart also cruel?

Those people weren't always so indifferent; most of them simply didn't dare, absolutely didn't dare, betray the Sibyl System.

So we can only stand by and watch.

They have lost the ability to think; they no longer consider right or wrong, what is permissible or impermissible. After all, some people are born into such a world and never question it in the slightest. The Sibyl System is the embodiment of all justice; how could they possibly question justice?

This is what you call a tragedy, something that happened inevitably.

What's particularly ridiculous is that among these onlookers was the man's subordinate, Cui Qiucheng, who even recorded the entire process. These videos will be uploaded to the internet and seen by millions of people.

That is one of their goals.

Crime spreads fear.

When the majority of people in society feel panicked, the crime rate will increase significantly, which will cause some chaos, and the chaos will grow bigger and bigger, eventually evolving into a social event, and even threatening the basic order of the whole society. This is just the beginning.

Simultaneously.

In the police car, Ginoza spoke to Tsunemori Akane in the passenger seat.

"You have to think things through yourself so you won't be swayed by others. Isn't that the right attitude? Am I wrong? Am I really thinking wrong?" He muttered to himself.

"Could this be...?"

Ginoza always felt uncomfortable whenever the topic of Zheng Lu came up, after all, the father of this potential criminal was Ginoza's biggest scar.

There are things he doesn't want to face.

I want to escape, but I can't escape no matter what I do.

"The Sibyl System has permeated every detail of life. While there have been doubts about it throughout history, the facts have proven that it has indeed brought about significant changes to people's lives—an undeniable fact. However, recent events have been somewhat subtle, prompting necessary reflection."

"Or perhaps, openly, someone like Shogo Makishima..."

"Are you trying to mock me, Inspector Tsunemori?"

Tang Zhi Du Zhi En's call interrupted their conversation. It was an unpleasant exchange that also touched a nerve with Ginoza, as it was his Achilles' heel.

"What's wrong?".

"A regional pressure alert has been issued for Sangenjaya in Setagaya Ward... But that's one thing, but some incredible videos have appeared online, look."

The video recorded the entire process, which was extremely bloody and horrifying. This is a blatant act of defiance against the law.

"What exactly is this?"

Ginoza could hardly believe that such a thing could happen in the current society of the Sibyl System. Didn't street scanning and self-service machines stop such violent crimes?

Meanwhile, the executives also saw the video recording.

What... happened?

"Makishima Shogo's crime, I guess. No..." Yan shook his head halfway through his sentence. This time it definitely wasn't Makishima Shogo. He wouldn't show up anytime soon. Last time, Makishima Shogo should have realized Yan's strength.

Make him clearly understand that there is one person among the executors who is not to be trifled with, and that rashly making contact with him would certainly result in his death.

What exactly is crime in this world?

"inflammation……"

"Not just a crime... but something more... like shaking some kind of 'foundation'...?" Actually, it's impossible for an ordinary person to upload a video, especially one with such suggestive content. But Makishima Shogo possesses exceptional computer skills, or more accurately, he's a highly skilled hacker. Yan stopped speaking and pondered. Could someone with such skills really exist? Even for an ordinary hacker or a highly skilled hacker, this would be extremely difficult, after all, the country's top hackers are within their organization.

……

Abandoned areas in Shinjuku Ward.

2-chome.

In an old apartment building.

All three men removed their helmets, panting heavily with excitement; they all shared the same goal. In reality, these men possessed a dangerously high crime rate, though not quite reaching the level of potential criminals. While not criminals, their crime rate limited their access to certain places and occupations, restricting their choices.

This is inherently unfair treatment.

However, such an environment and experiences made them even more dissatisfied, which made their appearance increasingly murky. This was a vicious cycle. Once they fell into it, it was like falling into a quicksand pit, being swallowed up and submerged little by little.

Some people, who seem perfectly fine, gradually become potential criminals. This is a huge variable and is extremely frightening.

"sharp."

"They call it a rehearsal, but it's the real deal."

"...Let's go." The men put their helmets back on and got into the vehicle. The three men were equipped with a powerful nail gun and a handheld petroleum heater.

They headed to the basement of an abandoned area. Makishima Shogo had installed a virtual projection there, so it didn't look as dilapidated as it should have.

Shogo Makishima was reading a book, lying down quite leisurely. The book was "Betrayed Betrayal" by Ayami.

"The Betrayed Betrayal" is a book written by Xiao Hong and Xiao Ming and published in 1936. The book explores the future development direction of the Soviet proletariat from various perspectives, including humanistic concerns and local customs. It is a truly excellent book that elucidates humanistic concerns and analyzes human nature; it is a book worthy of promotion and preservation, and one we should cherish. The background of this book is very profound.

It's quite surprising that this book still exists in the world.

Put down the book you are holding.

Here, outside the window, the sun is already setting. The sky is dyed blood red by the sunset, and peach-colored clouds are reflected on the river, making the entire river surface look brand new. At this moment, the horizon looks like it's ablaze with flames. In the warm glow of the sunset, hardworking and simple people, having toiled, unload the heavy plows from their shoulders. The sunset bestows upon them a sacred halo, encircling the weariness of years and the burdens of life, granting them ease. The sunset gives everything to humanity, to the earth, creating countless rays of light, beautiful mountains and rivers, tranquil mountain villages, and hardworking, simple people. The sunset retracts its myriad golden needles, its rosy face blushing with shyness, hanging obliquely on the western mountaintop, gazing fondly at the lovely human world. Then, the stream ripples with light, shimmering with magical colors, making one feel as if it were a magnificent crystal palace, hiding countless colorful treasures. The willows, tall and short, are gracefully swaying in her presence, and with the chirping of birds, it truly resembles a fairytale world.

But this person had no interest in appreciating the scenery; the scenery was meaningless to him.

It's a pointless thing.

He looked in one direction.

He glanced at Cui Qiucheng's report. This report was very important, containing crucial data that was well worth referencing. It contained a wealth of data, including information about Fujii Hiroko's situation and the changes in the expressions of all the onlookers.

Choi Kyu-sung was a computer genius who was able to calculate and solve many scientific mechanisms and discovered some of the truths hidden behind the Sibylsystem, finding the core of the Sibylsystem.

This man is a skilled hacker with the technology to create holographic cracking effects on the exterior of buildings. He is capable of hacking into any critical website and spreading disinformation to further incite social unrest.

Like Shogo Makishima, he is interested in his home country after the overthrow of the Sibylla system.

Shogo Makishima is a mysterious man who operates behind the scenes in many incidents. He possesses an "immunity from sin," meaning that his complexion is always pure white, regardless of the circumstances since birth.

He has a handsome face, long silver-white hair, and golden eyes. He enjoys reading "1984," a political satire and science fiction novel by the British left-wing writer George Orwell.

Suspected of involvement in the murder of Kogami Shinya's subordinates, he was pursued by Kogami Shinya for three years and had previously worked as a teacher at Sakura-shimo Academy. He made a brief appearance in the first episode of the TV series and officially debuted in the fourth episode. His impressive physical skills were evident in the fourteenth episode of the TV series.

A mysterious man who operates behind the scenes in many events. From birth, regardless of the circumstances, his appearance has always been pure white.

Possesses the [Deified Leader Trait].

She is a person born with pure white skin, and presents the protagonist with this fallacy—since the system determines that she is a "sound and kind person," then no matter what heinous things she does, it is correct? In episode 11, before killing Funahara Yuki, her crime index was only 70, but when she killed Funahara Yuki, her crime index actually decreased to 0.

Because he's a man who operates in the shadows, he doesn't appear on screen very often. However, Makishima Shogo is an absolutely indispensable main character.

Regardless of how many times Shogo Makishima appears, whenever he speaks, his name is always listed second only to the male lead in the voice actor credits, demonstrating his important role in advancing the plot in the TV series.

The first part of Psycho-pass ends with Shogo's death, and Kogami loses his position as executor. Akane Tsunemori, though dissatisfied, is still forced to manage this illusory city under the guidance of the Hippel Prophet System.

The following is my personal analysis; please refrain from interrupting.

This ending can be considered a bad ending, reflecting a different meaning from other anime, and elevating its message by breaking away from clichés.

The ending expresses the protagonist's forced submission to and service to the Hippel system, composed of the minds of criminals, in order to ensure the city's inhabitants could live peacefully. This was also the reason Shogo had previously insisted that Tsunemori not kill him—Tsunemori couldn't act according to her own will because she ultimately had reservations. Kogami, unlike Tsunemori, had already resolved to kill Shogo to avenge Sasayama's death during the plastination incident. Even after discovering Shogo's resemblance to himself and hesitating before killing him, he still acted on his own will and killed him.

He killed his most trusted nemesis, the loneliest man in the city.

Then Kogami became the loneliest person.

This is the data that matters.

"It has caused a significant increase in regional pressure in a short period of time..." Makishima Shogo muttered to himself, quite satisfied with this. He dialed Choi Kyung-sung's portable terminal and said approvingly...

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Thank you."

"Sure, there's no need to revise the plan."

"The reaction to the rehearsal was explosive. This is a very big deal."

"What a fool."

"Ok?"

"It's just one person killed; nothing truly serious has happened yet. The truly momentous events are just beginning."

"...Is that so?"

"Hey, I only told you the whole plan, please." Implementing the entire plan takes time; for example, each crime requires meticulous planning. They first need to identify their target. Crime is like fermentation; the more carefully it's arranged, the better the effect. Some state secrets are beyond even Cui Qiucheng's reach, given their extremely high level of secrecy.

The most effective way is actually to kill the executive officer and then hack into his personal terminal, thus obtaining firsthand information. However, there is another obstacle: liveness verification; a corpse cannot pass the verification.

Executive Officer Sasayama was dismembered while still alive.

Later--

Kogami Shinya also set his sights on Makishima Shogo.

This is the cycle of cause and effect. Everything in this world has a cause and an effect; nothing comes out of thin air.

"I really want Mr. Sengakuji to see this too."

The entire crime was a small piece of a larger conspiracy, and tragically, Hiroko Fujii died so easily, so tragically, her body hastily covered and laid on the ground.

“The victim’s name is… Hiroko Fujii…” Akane Tsunemori said.

"In broad daylight... such a thing happening in the middle of the city." Zheng Lu was also surprised. He never expected such a terrible incident to happen in broad daylight. Everyone trusted the Sibyl System so much, believing that it was the safest world, and that all crimes would be detected and stopped.

"...What exactly is wrong with this city?"

"Is it the same perpetrator who attacked the pharmacy?" Tsunemori Akane thought of the heinous murder at the pharmacy not long ago, and she couldn't help but frown. The fact that such a terrible thing had happened again made her feel very heavy-hearted.

“The possibility is very high. But…” Gino gritted his teeth and looked at the onlookers. As someone who protects the safety of the people, he really couldn’t understand why these people were so indifferent to watching a poor woman being brutally murdered. He said through gritted teeth, his voice full of resentment, “There are so many people here… are these guys all scarecrows!”

"The eyewitness testimonies are all very similar... They all say they can't understand what happened... There's nothing we can do about it. Someone being killed right before your eyes is something you can't even imagine. They've lived this long and never thought such a thing could happen."
