Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Ryougo Kamitsuki and Risa Aoyagi spent the most time together; they were both superiors and subordinates, and also close partners.

but--

Even when faced with the fleeing Ryougo Kamui, Risa Aoyagi did not hesitate at all.

The Dominator aimed at Ryougo Kamitsuki.

"...Why do you think we can escape? The Sibyl System's malfunction is only temporary, isn't it?"

"...Why?" In fact, Ryougo Kamiya had thought about it, but none of the excuses seemed convincing. At this moment, Ryougo Kamiya sighed softly. It seemed that he had completely failed and no longer had any chance. "He probably mistook it for an opportunity."

“There’s practically no chance,” Aoyagi Risa said. She seemed more rational, but her edges had also been completely smoothed out.

Her heart is dead.

I have lost all hope.

Is there anyone in this world who can escape the monitoring and management of the Sibyl System? No, that's just how the world is; everyone must accept their fate.

“It’s not that I don’t like being partners with you…” Kamiya Ryogo even smiled, a smile that was incredibly complex on his young, even somewhat immature face.

There's a hint of tenderness in it.

And despair.

confused.

There was still a sliver of happiness.

Who can say for sure? Perhaps this is what Ryogo Kamijou wanted, the ending he truly desired: to face death with a sense of fulfillment, but ultimately, it was just a feeling of fulfillment confined to a prison cell.

"Me too, I'm having a great time."

Without hesitation, Aoyagi Rizai pulled the trigger. The Dominator's annihilation mode was irreversible, and Kamitsuki Ryougo seemed to be able to face everything calmly. If death was inevitable, then being killed by Aoyagi Rizai didn't seem like such a bad thing.

at this time--

His body has been destroyed by the ruler.

At the Shinjuku City Gymnasium, there's a machine used for mental health care. People in this era value exercise, but how to exercise happily and enjoyably seems to be a problem. At this moment, virtual projection seems to have a very positive effect.

Projecting virtual characters can monitor exercisers' data from various aspects and provide them with many helpful suggestions and opinions.

only--

At this point, the stadium had taken on another function: a temporary hospital. After all, so many injured people needed treatment. In addition to physical injuries, many others suffered from psychological trauma, and these people all required medical resources.

Some of these are psychopass trolls, while Ginoza, Seiri, and Rokugozuka are busy checking their crime indexes with the Dominator.

In this insane and ugly world, people constantly restrict freedom of speech, treating humanity like fools. Humanity is ruled by a system called "Sibylla," where all psychological data is quantified and processed according to the numerical values. Inspectors and Executives are equipped with pistols called "Dominators," which can switch modes based on the target's crime coefficient.

A value below 120 is considered a normal psychological value.

Between 120 and 300, the basic mode will be used to paralyze the target.

If the value is above 300, it will switch to execution mode and eliminate the target.

……

Many of these people have low stress tolerance and can easily switch from anesthesia mode to elimination mode, but they were still arrested by Ginoza, Seiriku, and Rokugozuka.

"Hurry up..." Ginoza urged.

Besides Ginoza, Seiri, and Rokugozuka, people from Section 2 and Section 3 were also carrying out their missions, and everything seemed to be in good order.

Zheng Lu, who had been busy all along, seemed to have some emotions as well, shouting, "...psychohazard is a mental plague, and if it spreads, this is what happens..."

"Mass-scale mental health care, overcrowded facilities, and economic losses caused by the paralysis of urban functions..."

"Makishima is a truly remarkable person."

"It's too early to use the past tense. How can we sentence that guy? The trial system has been gone for a long time. Nowadays, there are neither defense lawyers nor prosecutors. It's a bit difficult to file a case based on evidence alone for crimes that cannot be detected by psychopass."

"It's up to you, Inspector," Seiryuki Yoshino said.

Upon hearing this, Ginoza's brows furrowed. He remained silent, his brows tightly furrowed, and then glanced at Seiryu before speaking.

"Don't try to get close to me, CEO."

"……well."

At that moment, Ginoza received a message, his expression grave—"...The director wants to see me..." but he didn't know what it was about.

Inside the office, Director He Sheng was also holding the Dominator. She didn't have any particular task for it; she just wanted to hold it in her hand.

Inspector Ginoza entered.

"What important matter are you referring to?" Ginoza showed great respect for Director Hesheng and dared not be disrespectful in her presence.

"First of all, well done," He Sheng said, his face expressionless but his words sincere. "We didn't kill Yan, but we successfully brought the situation under control. Just as we hoped."

"...We just did our best."

"Hard work has paid off, which is really great."

"...So, what's the important matter?"

"The investigation and evidence collection work regarding the Shinjima case was carried out by a special team composed of the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare, and the police station lost its search rights."

"……what?"

Ginoza's face showed a look of astonishment.

What exactly is the situation right now?

"The situation is special, and medical personnel need to accompany the investigation and evidence collection at all times. The confidentiality of the investigation has also been taken into consideration." Even Ginoza seemed somewhat helpless in this situation.

"There is no doubt that Shogo Makishima is a prime suspect in several past incidents, and the facts are clear. The police must conduct an interrogation!"

Are there any unresolved issues among those past events?

"...No, but..."

"Shogo Shinjima will be punished as a research subject sooner or later, but that matter is over..." He Sheng was still playing with the Dominator. The Dominator, which was spinning on the table, stopped when it was pointed at Ginoza. Normally, it would be impossible for the Dominator to be pointed at the Inspector.

For most people, the dominant figure evokes complex emotions.

It is a weapon, and also a means of ensuring security.

"Compared to those already arrested, your division has a more serious problem—an executive officer has fled and is still missing."

He Sheng did not say it explicitly.

Teng has actually disappeared, and it was because of Hesheng that Teng disappeared from this world. After his death...

"It's not certain yet that they're fleeing..."

"The Sibyl system has been repaired. Executive Officer Teng has not yet been captured by the surveillance network because he has evaded surveillance. If this continues, you will be held responsible."

"That's because...that..."

"that……"

Ginoza's father had a profound influence on him, and he always carried a scar in his heart—the fate of his close friend. These were all leveraged against Director Hesheng, and Ginoza was powerless to do anything about it, forced to endure it.

Such a life can be described as extremely tragic, especially for someone like Ginoza who works in such a structured social relationship. Moreover, it is no easy feat for someone with such a past to have reached this position.

The wounds in my heart have never healed; they've simply hidden themselves away in a place without sunlight.

-

Inside the huge office.

Everyone from Department One has already gathered together.

They were in charge of the real cleanup work, which is no easy task and evokes a sense of nostalgia.

Ginoza relayed these messages to Lin Yan.

"That's it???"

Lin Yan was dismissive of these things, showing no sign of any pent-up emotions. However, the look in his eyes instantly transformed into a sharp blade, capable of slaying a target from afar.

"Give us an explanation that we can accept!"

"Does the executive officer think he can defy the heavens?" Ginoza was actually quite dissatisfied with this, but he was still able to maintain basic rationality.

"Do you even have the right to say that?! We arrested the person, and now you won't even let us interrogate them? What kind of nonsense is that?!"

"My word doesn't count! If you're so capable..."

Zheng Lu was usually very calm, but at this moment he became somewhat extreme.

This approach really suits Teng's personality.

"Why don't you go talk to the director directly...?" Zheng Lu said. "As an executive officer, I can't possibly see the director, and even if I did, it would only cause you trouble, Inspector."

"......."

These words really hit home, and Ginoza frowned deeply.

"...I mean, is there really no other way?" Ginoza was also at a loss. He bit his lip, his tightly furrowed brows showing no sign of easing.

"……Feel sorry."

The constant noise left Chang Shouzhu somewhat helpless. She could only smile wryly at Lin Yan, for only Lin Yan could make her feel safe.

"...What should we do?"

"You can't do anything, can you?" Rokugozuka said.

"...In short, we must devote all our efforts to the search for Fuji." Ginoza finally calmed down. His voice was calm, but he was still somewhat unwilling inside. "That guy's actions could be fatal to the station... We must hurry up. This is a race against time. If we fail this time, it will be impossible to turn the tide!"

at the same time.

In a secluded medical room, Shinjima Shogo slowly opened his eyes. Beside him stood a woman in her forties or fifties, holding a copy of "Immoral Prosperity." This woman was no ordinary woman.

Director He Sheng.

The woman standing atop the pyramid could be considered no longer human; she was an absolutely invincible woman. The striped clothing worn by Shinjima Shogo did not restrict his movements; his first instinct was to seek out any suitable weapon nearby.

The body reacted immediately, indicating that there was no sedative injection, no restraint, and no poison.

The memory of his last moments flashed through Shinjima Shogo's mind.

He was almost completely defeated in his one-on-one duel with Lin Yan, and in the end, he was even knocked unconscious by a little girl. It's a joke, so ridiculous it's laughable.

So, the petite girl delivered the final blow to Shinjima Shogo. Although it was a surprise attack, it was still a great humiliation.

Jackson?

He must be dead.

A rise in crime rates naturally necessitates a crackdown.

Jackson's death would only leave a slight regret in Shogo Shinjima's heart, not even causing a ripple. That's the cruelty of the world, that's the way this man operated. The regret was merely the inability to use a pawn anymore. If Jackson himself could see Shogo Shinjima at this moment, what would he think?

This world can be so cruel sometimes.

"Where is this?" Shinjima Shogo's tone gradually calmed down. He needed to gather more information in a short time before he could make any further decisions or countermeasures.

"Long time no see, Lord Saint Protector, you're still the same." He Sheng's face was adorned with her usual smile, her expression filled with nostalgia for the past.

Of course, Shinjima Shogo felt the same way.

"Nostalgia—"

This is clearly a meeting between two people.

The two had never met before.

Shinjima Shogo searched his mind relentlessly. He had never stopped training himself, starting with the brain—the commander of his body. Whether through physical exercise or reading and learning, it was all training for the brain. Brain function could be continuously strengthened; that was called 'neural plasticity'. He had a deep interest in training his brain; perhaps this was one of his few remaining interests?

He had searched his mind countless times to prove that he and Hesheng had absolutely no connection, but Hesheng always gave him a very familiar feeling. What was going on?

"Director, Ms. Hesheng, right? I don't remember knowing you..."
