Super God: If I punch you, you will die

“It’s alright, my appearance has completely changed in the past three years…” Director He Sheng said, seemingly unconcerned, still holding a book from three years ago in his hand.

"There's something I must apologize to you for..."

Director Hesheng handed the book to Shinjima Shogo.

"The book I borrowed from you before was lost due to various events. In this era where paper books are highly valued, it took a lot of effort to find the same one. I got this one at a high price at an auction... it wasn't easy..."

Shinjima Shogo took the book.

"Wow, this really is the first edition published by the Modern Thought Society!"

As he spoke, Director He even flashed a fairly bright smile.

Such a bright, toothy smile is rare, especially such a cheerful one.

"You startled me... You are... Fujima Kosaburo?"

"How nostalgic." Should we say Director Hesheng or Fujima Kosaburo? However, Fujima Kosaburo is no longer the same person he used to be; he is a completely new person, namely Director Hesheng.

"Seigo-kun helped me a lot when I was at Sakura Frost Academy."

This happened a long time ago. Speaking of which, Hesheng even misses his time at Yingshuang Academy. Back then, Shendao Shenghu helped him a lot, something Hesheng has never forgotten. Bringing up the old story now doesn't really have any particular purpose.

"I've seen quite a few interesting things. I really felt it was a pity when I heard you fell into the hands of the police, but it's also strange that no detention or execution records were left..." At this moment, Shinjima Shogo carefully observed Hesheng. Her appearance was indeed completely different from before. She was so unrecognizable that no trace of her former self could be seen.

"This appearance is... plastic surgery... no, her body shape has changed too. Could it be that it's all artificial?"

"Complete mechanization—your friend Sengkoji Temple has achieved that too, but such perfect artificial body technology hasn't been made public. This body is completely indistinguishable from a human body, right?"

Fujima Kosaburo even inserted his finger between his eyeball and eye socket to prove that he had been completely transformed.

There was no pain whatsoever.

His face does not change color.

"The Fujima Kosaburo you know, only his brain remains."

"The serial killer who wreaked havoc on the world is the police chief? There's a limit to jokes... really..."

Ridiculous?

But those two words were never spoken.

Shinjima Shogo had his own bottom line; he simply couldn't understand Fujima Kosaburo's method of modifying the body.

“Strictly speaking, no. He Shengrangzong is not just me, nor am I always He Shengrangzong. Our brains are modularized so that they can exchange information easily. We take turns using this body, well, it also serves as a way to relax from our daily work.”

He Shengrangzong spoke of these things without any emotional fluctuation, as if he had become accustomed to them.

Unitization?

What does it mean?

What does it mean to take turns using one's body?

Shinjima Shogo's mind raced, analyzing the information, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't understand this behavior. What did it mean to take turns using the body? And He Shengrangzong wasn't saying "I"... but "we," which meant...

what?

"...You just said 'us'? There are still many people like you these days?"

"Ah, I'm just a representative. I was assigned here because we've known each other for a while. Although I've never appeared in public, we're quite famous just by name. You should know me too."

"……I see."

Shinjima Shogo has understood what Hesheng means.

He Sheng smiled.

"The world calls us the Sibyl System!" The Sibyl System? Could this be the Sibyl System? The weapon to rule this world?

Meanwhile, Ichiko is also investigating Fuji's whereabouts.

Tsunemori and Lin Yan acted together, conducting an in-depth investigation at Nona Tower. Their destination was Tang Zhidu's last tracking point; beyond that was a dead end, with a wall in front of them.

A solid wall made of poured concrete.

"Disappeared here, and wasn't caught on surveillance cameras afterward..." Zhu frowned anxiously ever since. "Could it be... that Shinjima's men..."

"Then there should be bodies left behind. Besides, it's not just Teng; Tang Zhidu should have seen that the group of people who went down into the ground have also disappeared."

"So, what exactly happened?"

"Teng is the kind of person who would never run away no matter what happens; he puts his life first. His disappearance wasn't his own intention."

"That's kidnapping, abduction..."

"Or is it a method of murder that leaves no body behind?" Lin Yan's brows furrowed slightly; he was also somewhat dissatisfied with this matter.

What exactly happened to Teng?

where is he?

"No body left?"

"For example, a decomposition pattern like that of the Dominator." From any perspective, only a decomposition pattern like that of the Dominator could cause a living person to completely disappear, vanish without a trace, leaving no trace whatsoever. However, regardless of any speculation, one thing is certain: the vine disappeared here, vanished without a trace.

But what was the motive?

A message came from Ginoza.

"Hello, this is Chang Shou."

"A citizen reported finding the malfunctioning and abandoned ruler."

Ginoza has retrieved the Dominator, and the final identification result is that the Dominator undoubtedly belongs to Fuji. The Dominator is here, so where is Fuji?

“Nona Tower is 20km away from here…” Ginoza muttered to himself, pointing at the map, thinking and analyzing what exactly happened to Fuji.

"...Even if 70% of the street scanners are still not working, they can't possibly go without being scanned even once, right?"

"The ruler is undoubtedly Fuji's thing." Rokugozuka's report was almost beyond question; his professional level had been proven countless times.

"The damage is severe; the internal GPS is not working either."

"...Did he break himself to get rid of the pursuers?" Ginoza guessed.

“Or perhaps, it’s a disguise created by someone to make us think that way,” Zheng Lu also said.

"...What?" Wouldn't that make things even more difficult? — Ginoza frowned. He hadn't thought of Seiryu's line of thinking, but it was indeed a possibility.

“Although Teng isn’t much, he’s not an idiot, nor is he the kind of person who’s fearless. If I were the one running away, I would never leave the Dominator in a place like this. This is definitely a disguise, something’s not right!!!” No matter how he thought about it, Zheng Lu would never believe that Teng would really run away.

Moreover, even if Fujiwara were to escape, he wouldn't resort to such a desperate tactic.

In the infirmary, Shinjima Shogo and Fujima were still talking.

"You attacked the Nona Tower to expose the true nature of the Sibylla System, right? You just picked the right place, and your companions did indeed stand before the truth."

In Fujima's hand was Jackson's prosthetic eye.

A prosthetic eye can store images.

What's playing now is the image of the prosthetic eye, which is actually a video recording, from Jackson's perspective.

"...What is this...?"

"This thing is the true form of the Sibylla System."

Is this what Jackson saw? At this moment, Shogo Shinjima also saw this scene: an absolutely white space, with the brain's operating mechanisms arranged in a specific order.

"The Sibyl system uses the so-called PDP model, which relies on a large number of supercomputers for parallel and distributed processing, but to be honest, this is far from the actual situation."

He Sheng said, "That is, Fujima."

Besides these, there were numerous mechanical bodies, all lined up side by side, as if on display. They were all being charged, their heads connected to the charging devices, creating an eerie, cyclical effect.

"The integration of human brain activity is the expansion of thinking ability. The high-speed system was put into practical use more than 40 years ago. It is precisely because of the concealment of this technology and its careful use that our country has become the only country on Earth with the rule of law today."

"There's no need to destroy it. Just make this thing public, and the country will be finished. This time it will really cause a riot, and no one can stop it."

"Currently, the system consists of 274 people. About 200 of them can form teams to take turns monitoring and assessing the psychopasses of the entire population of this country on a daily basis."

Suddenly, the screen started shaking.

Then something appeared in the prosthetic eye's field of vision, spinning at an incredible angle. It was Jackson's body being concentrated, and the prosthetic eye was naturally thrown out. The prosthetic eye continued recording even after Jackson's death, and He Sheng appeared in the frame.

"The crime coefficient—psychopass measurement—is based on the 'instinct' that is pushed to its limits after being connected to the brain. The human brain is not only an 'information processing' system, but also an excellent 'radar'—you should know very well that no matter how much information the human brain receives through sight and hearing, the first thing it filters out is 'things that may be harmful to oneself.' What a child can do, it takes a lot more effort to do the same thing on a computer..."

This situation is actually quite easy to analyze.

He Sheng shot and killed the executive officer.

The executive officer in question is none other than Fuji, whose whereabouts everyone had been speculating about. Now, the video footage proves that Fuji did not run away on his own.

"...It's laughable! A fair society operating not through human effort, but through machines—that's the propaganda that got the people to accept the Sibyl System. And the machine's physical form is a collection of human brains? All the social control the Sibyl System has implemented so far is the result of your wanton actions?"

Shinjima Shogo wasn't wrong.

Human society does not depend on humans, but on these emotionless machines, allowing machines to dominate the world.

However, no one would have expected this.

These machines are actually a collection of human brains.

"So, all the absurd social rules up to this point were created by you, and the so-called justice that destroys values ​​is also the result of your misdeeds."

Shinjima Shogo spoke with some emotion.

"No, rather, it's more accurate to say that this kind of fairness, where we who judge and supervise the people, have become beings beyond human comprehension."

He Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with the world.

She has always supported the Sibyl system.

Otherwise, one would not have transformed oneself into such an inhuman form; it would have taken immense determination and immense support to accomplish this.

"The primary qualification for becoming a member of the Sibylla System is a personality that is not bound by social norms. It means not being empathetic, not having emotional exchanges with others, and looking down on human behavior from the outside to make judgments. The system needs this kind of talent, like me, Fujima Kosaburo, and Makishima Shogo, you are also such a person."

Maybe.

He Sheng believes that human emotions are the biggest weakness.

Only by not being bound by social rules can one truly achieve complete judgment and fairness, and only then can perfection be attained.

“…Oh?” Shinjima Shogo raised an eyebrow.

He was curious to hear what else Hesheng had to say.

“Like you, I am a special kind of human whose crime coefficient cannot be determined through psychopass. Because of this, I always felt lonely before I met you. These countless personalities who control the will of the Sibylla system are called pardoned. Unlike ordinary citizens, people with new ideas and values ​​are included in the system's personnel every time such valuable talents are discovered. The system can then frequently expand its thinking scope and gain new possibilities as intelligent beings,” He Sheng continued.

He always felt that he was the only person in the world, and that he was still so lonely even in such a bustling world.

This sense of loneliness had seeped into their very bones, deeply etched into their minds. They were all those who possessed the will of the Sibylla System and had been granted immunity.

"I see... So you disappeared without being executed after falling into the organization's hands..."

"Ah, so I've become a member of the system. At first, I had some doubts, but I quickly realized how great it was to do this. Sharing knowledge with other people's brains, the omnipotent feeling of expanded understanding and judgment is like being a prophet in a myth. Knowing everything, feeling like everything in the world is under my control. The pleasure that one's body can obtain is ultimately limited, but the pleasure that comes from intellect is limitless. Saint Protector, you should understand, right?"

"You and I have both been isolated and persecuted in this contradictory world, but there is no need to lament it anymore. We should be proud of the noble mission we have been given, and now the time has come for you to attain the position you deserve."

"So... you mean I should also become a member of the Sibyl System?"

This is something no one expected, including Lin Yan. This devil who caused countless deaths and madness is actually going to be recruited?

Is this Hesheng's judgment?

Was it a judgment made by the Sibyl system that she was so proud of?

Human emotions can indeed be an obstacle, but they are also indispensable. If the world were devoid of human sensibility, what a precious thing would be lost.
