Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Those people still showed no signs of stopping.

"There are too many of them, Teng. It's time for your EMP grenade to make its appearance."

"...Little cunning, why don't you just use your own portion?"

"Stop talking nonsense, or more people will die because of your mistakes."

"Why is it being blamed on me... really..."

Fuji was always so outspoken, and as a result, poor Fuji often received such treatment, making him look rather pathetic, which was actually quite funny. Although Fuji complained, he was also a dutiful executor and had already begun to act according to instructions.

The electromagnetic pulse grenade was thrown out, sparks flying, and that was the sound of the helmet being destroyed.

Lin Yan swiftly drew the Dominator and aimed it at one of the helmeted men.

—Death Mode.

boom--

In an instant, they eliminated one of the helmeted men.

"I'm warning you again!!!" Lin Yan shouted. This was something Chang Shouzhu hadn't expected, but she still reflexively obeyed Lin Yan's order. Logically speaking, she was the monitor, while Lin Yan was just an executor. The executor was being monitored by her, so there was no reason for him to obey the orders of the Wise Walker.

"We had no choice but to fire because the violence couldn't be stopped! Based on the crime rate, you could lose your life! I'll repeat myself: put your hands on your head and squat on the ground!" The threat of death is still the most effective. Just now, these people completely ignored Tsunemori Akane's warning, even though she was a law enforcement officer with the authority to forcibly stop their violent behavior.

Now, they have finally stopped.

Some people even had a look on their faces as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Those people squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Tsunemori Akane deeply admired and appreciated Lin Yan. In such an emergency, only Lin Yan maintained absolute composure; he was indeed a natural leader, not someone who should be subservient or a constrained executor.

She breathed a soft sigh of relief, but still dared not completely relax.

"...But what about these people?"

"Handcuff Duolong. He's not very useful right now, but at least he can be used as a watchdog. We'll take him back once things stabilize," Lin Yan said. Maintaining a calm and rational judgment at all times was a simple matter for Lin Yan.

Tsunemori Akane greatly admired Lin Yan and was very grateful to him.

In her mind, Lin Yan was no longer just a simple executor, but also her savior who helped her start anew in life.

Chang Shouzhu kept this matter in his heart, never forgetting it.

returning a Favour many times more.

Moreover, it was a life-saving grace.

"I see." Chang Shouzhu finally realized. She was becoming more and more dependent on Lin Yan. Although rationally speaking, it was wrong to do so, the kind-hearted Chang Shouzhu had not experienced much of the ways of the world or the pain of separation and death. She probably never imagined that one day the man she depended on so much would suddenly disappear.

Disappear into thin air.

No bones remain.

even--

After searching for a month, she discovered something strange: Lin Yan was gradually disappearing from people's memories. She realized that she would lose these memories sooner or later as well. That was the first time Chang Shouzhu got drunk.

Of course, this is a story.

As they were being taken away, one of the thugs was still somewhat unwilling. He never realized his mistake and continued to shout loudly in protest.

"What are you doing? It's the guy wearing the helmet who's wrong... The police station should do something about the helmets that are selling so well. We're the victims, aren't we?"

Lin Yan opened his mouth but said nothing, only sighed softly.

"what happened?"

"These people are also victims."

"Indeed, citizens caught up in crime turn into thugs and such..."

"No, I meant the one wearing a helmet," Lin Yan said. He always managed to consider things from angles that people wouldn't think of. This way of thinking was clearly not something everyone could understand; after all, some profound things are beyond the comprehension of just anyone.

For example, the background of the people in front of you, and everything else about them.

"Wait a minute, isn't the person wearing the helmet the perpetrator?"

“Just like what’s happening now, although it will take a while, those wearing helmets will be killed sooner or later. Even if we don’t take action, the citizens will take the law into their own hands. … I was a little concerned earlier that the rumors online are leaning towards the offensive. Maybe this is part of Shinjima’s intelligence operations?” Lin Yan continued, his words leaving Tsunemori Akane and Fuji speechless, their faces filled with disbelief.

Shogo Makishima thought he had done something flawless.

but--

Lin Yan, however, had already surpassed Makishima Shogo's comprehension. This man's abilities were beyond his prediction, control, and resistance.

Lin Yan knew they had begun to try to understand, so he continued to explain.

"We already know that he or one of his accomplices is a highly skilled hacker. Otherwise, these crimes wouldn't be possible. Intelligence operations are simple, right? Now, look at these faces without their helmets. These scumbags who wouldn't dare commit crimes without helmets. In a sense, they're just dancing in Shinjima's palm."

"What they're saying is that Shinjima's target is..." Under Lin Yan's guidance, Teng seemed to have realized something, and his eyes became even more shocked.

This was something none of them had expected.

This news is absolutely shocking.

If that's the case, then the matter has far exceeded what they perceive as a threat to society. Not only their department, but also other... even higher-level personnel in higher-level organizations must know about this, so that a higher-level crackdown on Makishima Shogo can be carried out.

“Assuming everything goes according to his script, suppressing the riots… and if he anticipated what we’re doing now…” Kogami returned to the police car and pulled up the navigation map on the dashboard. “Inspector, where are the priority locations for suppression?”

"Uh... here..."

According to data from Tsunemori Akira's terminal device, the photoelectric lights on the map indicate the locations of the riots.

"This..." The map showed that there were already ten flashing lights, which was no longer a small number, but quite considerable.

"The only thing I can think of is a feint attack. Let's assume these are locations where measures to provoke a riot have been taken in advance to lure away the criminal investigation team..."

Lin Yan controlled the device and located the furthest point of explosion.

His eyes were sharp.

When Chang Shouzhu inadvertently caught sight of Lin Yan, her heart skipped a beat. His powerful aura seemed to cover the sky, causing her to hold her breath for a few seconds. Under such a powerful aura, the first feeling was submission, followed by a sense of security.

With someone like that protecting us, what is there to be afraid of?

finally--

“Here…” The red light flashing there was clearly different from the other flashing lights.

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare headquarters building – NONA Tower.

Meanwhile, Jackson was sitting in the self-driving vehicle as the driver, and Shogo Makishima was also in the car.

"For the past five years, I have gone to great lengths to grasp the true state of the Sibylla system, setting up servers in various parts of the metropolitan area for parallel and distributed processing, and achieving an ideal system with an ironclad fault-tolerant design... This is just the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's nice words. In reality, to measure and analyze the psychopass of residents throughout the entire metropolitan area, a huge amount of computation is required. Of course, it is simply impossible without grid computing through the network."

It was clear from both his expression and his movements that Jackson was actually quite nervous; his palms were slightly sweaty.

Her face was also a little flushed.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Shogo Makishima noticed Jackson's nervousness and smiled knowingly. He probably believed no one could escape his control, not even this foreigner who had fled here; this feeling of controlling others was intoxicating to Makishima. The smile was particularly eerie, though Jackson remained completely oblivious.

"However, the deeper I investigated, the more I discovered that there was something fishy about the flow of data. The scanners in the city, the AI ​​that provides psychological counseling to workers, and the Dominator... At first glance, the data just seems to be flowing around the grid, but in reality, it's just going around in circles in one place. Finally, I discovered that all communication around Sibylla inevitably has to pass through the same relay point. If there is an independent system hidden there that no one knows about, and all the calculations are done by this one machine, then everything makes sense."

Shogo Makishima is also someone who can control people's hearts. He can accurately grasp the essence of someone like Jackson and has him firmly under his control.

Just as Lin Yan predicted, Jackson, like the other rioters, was unable to escape Makishima Shogo's grasp.

They were all pawns being manipulated, without exception.

The only difference is the amount of factual information known.

Jack Sun might know a little bit about it.

Those who listened to Makishima Shogo's advocacy may never know where they went wrong or how they gradually brought about their own demise. They truly died unjustly.

However, there is always something hateful about a pitiful person, and something pitiful about a hateful person.

The world is not black and white.

"You really are amazing." Jackson was even a little shy, and he smiled slightly.

Shogo Makishima noticed all of these subtle changes in his facial expressions.

"...What's puzzling is the performance of that machine. Even with older computer clusters or supercomputers, that level of throughput is beyond the comprehension of current technology." Ultimately, concentrating computers in one place is meaningless, and from a security perspective, it's far too dangerous.

"Or, what if it's something that requires keeping it a secret even at great risk?"

"That's really suspicious. It's already unsatisfying that we can't confirm the true nature of the Sibylla System."

"So, the facility you're sure is the one with the problem is here...?" Jackson had stopped the vehicle, and it turned out they were near the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's Nova Tower.

"The relay point for all the data obtained from the mental scan, and the obvious signs that the power consumption in this area has been spoofed, means that the Sibylla system is most likely located in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare headquarters." After Makishima Shogo finished speaking, Crystal Purple got out of the car, both he and Jackson were carrying weapons.

"Then, gentlemen, let's make a scene inside the entrails of this great priestess of revelation." Makishima Shogo's smile was incredibly ferocious and terrifying.

Lin Yan also noticed this, and they were heading to the Nova Tower in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

"Contact Ginoza."

Lin Yan gave the order.

"Ginoza-senpai, the mastermind's goal is to attack the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare headquarters Nova Tower! The riot was just bait!" Tsunemori Akane contacted Ginoza immediately after realizing what had happened, and this statement was undoubtedly a bombshell that exploded immediately.

"Impossible! Don't abandon your post because of such unfounded speculation! This is a matter of life and death!" Ginoza was completely enraged, his anger was undisguised. Had he made a mistake in his judgment?

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

But then an explosion occurred.

boom--.

0217 The Gate of Sanctions [Please Subscribe]

Boom—Boom—Boom—

Ginoza finally realized the seriousness of the situation. Now was not the time to act rashly; they had to fight back actively. Meanwhile, the troops here had already begun to engage in battle, but faced with the sudden attack, the people at headquarters were still somewhat stretched thin.

There are too few people.

“But the Central District Government Street, where the inspectors and executive officers have all been dispatched, is now just an empty shell!” Tsunemori Akane said. On this matter, she always trusted Lin Yan’s deductions the most. His understanding of Makishima Shogo surpassed that of anyone else, including the analysis and judgment of the Sibyl System, which were not as accurate and meticulous as Lin Yan’s.

This terrifying demon's ultimate fate will be his.

Chang Shouzhu glanced at Lin Yan.

"Shogo Makishima has already revealed his trump card." Shogo Makishima could have easily waged a war of attrition, which would have rendered them helpless. He could have simply hit and run, causing the violence in society to continue to spread. Meanwhile, Ginoza and the others who were trying to maintain order were already overwhelmed, which would have been extremely advantageous for Shogo Makishima.

But why take the risk?

"If we run into Shinjima Seigo and his group, then the guards at Doron will be like scarecrows! If they manage to cut off our retreat like this, it will really have irreversible consequences! At least let us get there in time!"

"..."

In fact, Lin Yan had given these instructions from the side, and Chang Shouzhu was merely relaying Lin Yan's analysis and judgment.

Ginoza was well aware of this, since it was Lin Yan, not the inexperienced young girl Tsunemori Akane, who had been tracking Shinjima Shogo all along.

At this point, there's no time to call them supervisors or executives anymore.

Ginoza isn't the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong or prioritize. Tsunemori Akane is actually very clear about this as well. Deep down, she desperately wants Ginoza to overcome his prejudice against Lin Yan and see his strengths, especially his outstanding abilities at work, just like she does.

She would rather Ginoza choose to believe Lin Yan instead of herself.

“…I understand,” Ginoza sighed, but reason prevailed. “You guys check the situation first, and continue suppressing the riots in the city. Contact us immediately if anything happens.”

"Yes!" Chang Shouzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Now he had to work hard and bring the criminals to justice.

"I saw it!" Teng suddenly shouted.
