"That guy should be in a state where he'd be immediately sent for treatment if he got caught by a street scanner, right...?"

"I see. Is this guy it?" Tang Zhidu seemed to understand something, and added another search condition: the suspect's appearance. This suspect didn't look particularly menacing; who would have thought he was the perpetrator of such a heinous crime?

"Ito Junmei, Hiroko Fujii's colleague at work. She has been absent for the past two weeks due to illness and is receiving guidance on health management."

at the same time.

Tang Zhidu's information has been shared with everyone, and the executors on the front lines are all holding the command and coordinating the search.

Ito's apartment.

Nothing happened the moment the door was broken down; there seemed to be no movement in the entire room. No wonder Ito wouldn't just sit and wait to be killed.

The walls were not clean.

The ground was also piled with a lot of garbage.

The garbage wasn't sorted; kitchen waste and other garbage were all mixed together, emitting a pungent smell. It seems the owner of this room lived a very rough life. However, the workers didn't seem to care about the smell; everyone was extremely focused.

"...Isn't he/she home?"

"But you guessed right."

Yan immediately noticed the wall. It wasn't an ordinary wall; it was completely covered with photos of Hiroko Fujii. What was most chilling was that every photo was slashed to pieces. Each cut was proof of the madness and bloodlust in Ito's heart, who had killed Fujii's neck.

The virtual projection in the room caught Yan's attention.

Turn on the virtual projector.

The content within the virtual projection caused everyone to frown; it was a projection of a completely naked woman—Hiroko Fujii.

Those messy traces proved one thing: they were the main evidence of Ito's gradual deterioration, and could be described as quite malicious.

"Is it a clingy obsession... no, is it one-sided stalking?" Zheng Lu had actually seen many cases like this, and he couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little regretful and disappointed. "If this feeling continues, I definitely can't go out."

Suddenly, a person rushed out.

And it came from the closet, which no one expected. Zheng Lu immediately pointed at the person who rushed out.

This is actually—Ito.

No one expected this to happen; there was no one left in the room.

"!?"

"Follow up!"

"...Inspector, what is your crime rate?"

"ha!?".

Yan suddenly pointed his gun at Tsunemori Akane, who was caught off guard and didn't know why the demon Yan would do such a thing.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.

“犯罪系数8226;32……8226;刑事科登陆监视官8226;警告8226;如执行官对反逆行为,将向本部报告”

"...That's right."

Yan chased after him.

Tsunemori Akane still hadn't reacted, but she completely trusted En. If it were any other inspector, En might have been questioned, but Tsunemori Akane was the one who trusted him the most, and she wouldn't question him no matter what happened.

The streets were very quiet.

Yan used the terminal to contact Tang Zhidu.

"Zhi'en! Is there a deserted area around here!?"

"What...what's all that about? What happened?"

"The target copied the psychopass of people nearby. That helmet itself is performing bio-scans on others!" He seemed to realize something; falsifying data was not simple and had little effect, but home-based scanning equipment seemed more feasible.

A smile appeared on his lips.

Perhaps the only fun in this strange world is solving puzzles like this; otherwise, it would be incredibly boring and tedious.

"I see, as long as there aren't any 'respectable people' within that scanner circle..."

"That helmet won't work anymore. Quick!"

Ito ran as fast as he could.

It was more like a hunting game, and the real hunter wasn't the others chasing him, but the real hunter—Flame. Ito felt a chill run down his spine, a feeling of being watched by a pair of eyes, a feeling that wouldn't go away.

It’s over.

Can't escape.

The thought kept flashing through his mind, refusing to leave. The more Ito thought about it, the more frightened he became. He tried hard to stay calm. Maybe there was still a shelter, the shelter of the person who had given him the helmet. That should be a good place.

Ito racked his brains but still couldn't figure out the person's hidden refuge. In the end, he kept running, with Ben accompanying him...

"Um... there's a materials warehouse over in Block 4! Because it's fully automated, there are no staff!"

"Force him there! Mobilize nearby autonomous vehicles to lure him in!"

"OK!"

"Did you hear that, sir! Take a detour and stop him!"

"Alright! And monitor, don't get close to Ito. Otherwise, we'll repeat the same mistake."

"Okay... okay."

Meanwhile, Ito was still on the run.

A net had already been prepared for him, just waiting for Ito to walk right into it. Ito only wanted to escape and didn't have time to think about anything else.

"Attention citizens. This is the Criminal Investigation Department of the police station. Due to the emergency situation, traffic is currently closed. Please follow the detour shown in the diagram—"

Unexpectedly, Ito was in a panic, running around like a rat chasing after someone.

The same applies when a cat catches a mouse.

It won't immediately push you into a desperate situation, but rather it will push you into one step by step.

Police Department Analysis and Research Office.

The analysis and research room is arguably the most central location in the entire police station. Various criminal cases are analyzed here, ultimately making the greatest contribution to apprehending criminals. It is also the command center, where Tang Zhidu can check the deployment status and make immediate assignments through the screen.

Both the executive officer and the monitor will have their positions displayed on the screen, allowing for comprehensive coordination.

In fact, through a short period of analysis.

A clear and concise map has been drawn in Yan's mind.

"Okay, okay...that's it!"

Tang Zhidu revealed a cunning smile.

The crime was clearly in disarray; otherwise, it wouldn't have thought of using a helmet and belt to force its way through. In fact, a single self-propelled machine posed no threat to him.

Fortunately, he didn't have such a calm mind.

The fleeing rat was about to be caught when Ito plunged into the materials warehouse, a place where materials were stored. Little did he know that this was a deliberate loophole they had left to set a trap for him.

Huchihuchi——

Ito was panting heavily.

His face was flushed, as if his lungs were an old, malfunctioning blower making a loud noise, indicating insufficient oxygen supply. His mind was blank; Ito was simply incapable of making a calm judgment in such a chaotic state.

Worst of all, Yan's figure has appeared, and the prey is being targeted once again.

Zheng Lu was actually a little exhausted. He glanced at Yan, who was standing beside him with an unchanging expression, and couldn't help but sigh that it was good to be young.

"Oops--"

Ito finally realized his predicament, but it was too late for him to escape; the gate was too sturdy for him to break through with mere brute force.

This is a trap.

Ito was filled with remorse.

But there's no going back in this world. Ito has given up struggling; he's realized that he only has one path left.

The ruler has set his sights on Ito.

“犯罪系数8226;282——8226;刑事课登陆执行官8226;任意执行对象8226;保险解除——”

"……You're welcome."

Yan and Zheng Lu fired simultaneously in perfect unison, the tranquilizer gun piercing Ito's body. Ito screamed in terror as he collapsed, his body convulsing violently.

Take off the helmet.

Ito's true colors have been completely exposed.

That middle-aged man's face was truly wretched; tears and snot were all mixed together. This was his fate. The previously arrogant Ito could never have imagined he would end up in such a sorry state. But even if he regretted it, it was too late.

What are your thoughts on having your PSYCHO=PASS shot?

"Thank goodness this guy didn't go into elimination mode."

Yan lightly patted Ito's face, a seemingly insignificant pat that actually knocked out several of his front teeth and fractured his nose. This wasn't just for the tragically deceased anesthesiologist, but also for the brutally murdered Fujii Hiroko.

Zheng Lu, who was standing to the side, did not notice.

This guy was beaten so badly while under anesthesia.

If Yan wanted, he could even make this guy disappear completely, shattering his form to the point that no instrument could recognize him.

How many thugs did he wipe out?

Underground Parking Lot.

This place has been completely abandoned. Almost no one thinks of it anymore, and no one sets foot here. It can be said to have been completely forgotten.

Meanwhile, the vehicle from the left bank involved in another case was at the scene.

The three robbers were also there.

"Easily shake off the tracking."

Besides that, there was another person, and that person was Makishima Shogo.

Shogo Makishima was in a small truck, equipped with the same gear as the other criminals. This suggests that Shogo Makishima was the mastermind behind the robbery, arguably the largest hidden force at present. His motives are currently unclear; the claim that he sought validation seems unconvincing. Perhaps his unique personality made him feel out of place in the world, and this lack of belonging can lead someone astray.

His choice to destroy the world in order to protect himself seems plausible.

"That helmet is really impressive," a very tall man said, his tone even tinged with smugness, as if the criminals probably wouldn't realize their mistakes and that the long arm of the law would eventually catch them.

He swung the baseball bat fiercely.

woohoo-

It whistled through the air.

"With that many of them, they'd definitely turn this city upside down. Let's use those guys as a bridge over the river."

“…Yes.” Makishima Shogo said, his face expressionless.

"It's bound to sell like hotcakes. There are plenty of people who dislike the Sibyl System. You've made a killing, haven't you?" A man playing with a dagger said smugly, seemingly very pleased with his masterpiece.

"I'm so envious. Let's get a piece of this business too. I promise we'll do a great job, just like we did this time."

The three exchanged glances and, without making a sound, had already surrounded Makishima Shogo in the center, as if they had some kind of premeditated plan.

Shogo Makishima, however, didn't care at all.

In his view, these people were stupid enough that their intelligence was on a completely different level from his.

The Sibylla system has made society more orderly, and even potential criminals or those preparing to become potential criminals have become extremely rare. What he needs to do is to use those who oppose the Sibylla system to create social unrest and turmoil.
