Super God: If I punch you, you will die

He Sheng continued to persuade Shinjima Shogo.

she continued.

"Your intellect and profound insight are precisely what we need to further evolve the Sibylla system. Although we could forcibly add you to the system through drugs or brainwashing surgery... only actions based on your own will have value, as you said. We judge that you can understand and agree with my explanation. We want to turn you into one of our own without damaging any of your intellect or mental activity."

He Sheng mentioned the further evolution of the Sibyl system, meaning that the Sibyl system has been evolving all along. It has not used upgrades but has evolved, which means that the Sibyl system is an intelligent life form, and not just a simple machine.

"I don't really like the idea of ​​becoming a mechanical part."

Shinjima Shogo didn't seem to have much of a reaction to this.

He didn't even care.

Perhaps he knew in his heart that once he was caught by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, his only chance might be to become one of them.

There was no better alternative.

"Ha ha……"

Shinjima Shogo shrugged.

He Sheng was not surprised by Shinjima Shogo's refusal; he simply smiled and continued.

"Of course, this is not a requirement to compromise your independence. I am still maintaining my identity as Fujima Kosaburo. The care of regularly implanting a prosthetic body and acting alone is to prevent the loss of self. In other places, there are also our people using bodies as high-ranking bureaucrats in various ministries and agencies."

"Seriously... It's not just the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare anymore; has the entire administration become a puppet of the Sibylla system?"

"All you have to do is say yes and nod. With the equipment here, the surgery can be completed on the way to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Shinjima Shogo's apparent existence will disappear along with his body, and you will become one of the world's rulers without anyone knowing."

Upon hearing this, Shinjima Shogo couldn't help but give a wry smile.

He is a smart person, with an IQ far exceeding that of ordinary humans. How could such a person know what the best choice is?

But that's why.

Many people with exceptionally high IQs behave in ways that are incomprehensible to the average person, which makes them appear somewhat crazy, like madmen.

Shinjima Shogo was exactly like that.

Perhaps even He Sheng could not understand Shinjima Shogo.

Humans are ten thousand times, even a million times, more precise and complex than any machine; even big data cannot analyze even a fraction of their complexity.

This is the wonder of life.

"It's just like Marnibabi's doctor."

"……what?"

“In the third story of Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, after Gulliver arrives at the flying island of Laputa, he goes to Marnibabi… The doctors in Marnibabi devise a method to unite opposing politicians by cutting their brains in half and then reassembling them. If successful, ‘balanced and moderate thinking’ will become possible.”

Shinjima Shogo's smile was very cold.

free?

Where in this world can one find true freedom?

Perhaps freedom was already a false proposition and no longer existed before the Sibylla system ruled the world.

Gulliver believed this was the best approach for those who thought they were "born to monitor and dominate the world."

“The Holy Protector is truly a genius of irony.”

“It wasn’t me…it was Swift.” Shinjima Shogo casually tossed the book, “Immoral Prosperity,” back to Hesheng.

He Sheng instinctively reached for his gun.

however--

The book hit Hesheng squarely on the bridge of his nose.

He Sheng immediately realized Shen Dao Sheng Go's intention, but his mechanical eyes had been blocked, and his brain reacted a little slower. In that moment, Shen Dao Sheng Go had already moved the Dominator aside and instantly threw He Sheng to the ground.

He Sheng's right hand was fractured.

The ruler landed on the ground.

Sparks flew.

"...Tsk!" He Sheng's body wouldn't feel any pain, but being pinned to the ground like this on his own turf was truly humiliating and made him look extremely pathetic.

Shinjima Shogo looked at Hesheng. His rich expressions suggested that he wasn't entirely a robot; after all, his brain was still that of a living human.

Ultimately, they do have feelings too.

"I still prefer the original Fujima Kosaburo."

In an instant, the tables turned, and Shinjima Seigo pinned Fujima, also known as Hesheng, down on top of him. A strange smile curled at the corner of his lips, and without hesitation, he destroyed Hesheng's legs, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

"It feels like 'taking apart the joints of the world'."

"Shogo Makishima...!"

"The phrase 'on the way to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare' just now implied that we were on the move. This is not a police station, so I judged that I could escape. I guess this is an airplane, a tiltrotor aircraft of the police station, which uses projection to cover up the fact that the room is small. The absorbent floor and walls make me not feel any shaking."

"...Why? You should be able to understand, the omnipotent pleasure, the thrill of ruling the world..."

"Like a god, right? That might be nice, but unfortunately I'm not interested in trials or judges. Standing like that makes it impossible to enjoy the game."

Hesheng's hands and feet have been damaged and he is completely unable to move.

Shinjima Shogo continued speaking in his ear.

“I love this game called life from the bottom of my heart, so I wanted to participate as a player no matter what… so I came in… hehe…” Shinjima Shogo said, his mind completely absorbed in enjoyment.

“Stop… stop!”

Shinjima Shogo was holding a square device, and he was hitting Hesheng hard on the head.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he saw the gap at the junction of Hesheng's head and forcefully inserted his finger into it, peeling the brain out.

"Even if one gains the consciousness of God, would one still fear death?"

Shinjima Shogo spoke softly, as if whispering, very gently.

In the executive officer's quarantine dormitory.

Lin Yan was reading a book called "Midnight Plus 1". In his original world, Lin Yan loved reading, enjoying everything from classical novels and classic works to online novels. Of course, there was another type of novel Lin Yan also liked: adventure novels.

It is clear that Shinjima Shogo has been arrested.

But he never saw the guy again. Lin Yan was also considering whether he should just barge in and kill him. Would that end all his missions in this world, and he could get closer to the road home?

Lin Yan had been pondering a question: was there anything left to cherish in his original world? Aside from familial ties, it seemed there was nothing. And what did Lin Yan represent to others? His disappearance had thrown his original family into chaos, or perhaps a second there was equivalent to a hundred years of travel time, making his original world, in a sense, frozen in time.

Now that we've already traveled through time, anything is possible.

Lin Yan repeatedly urged them, implying that they had either kidnapped or killed Teng.

Kogami, though a voracious reader of everything from philosophy to classics, still prefers hard-boiled or adventure novels from overseas. However, finding out about Fuji through official channels is probably virtually impossible now.

--rattan.

"..."

Lin Yan got up, suddenly wanting some coffee, but there wasn't a drop left. Just as he was about to go get some, he saw a cup filled with steaming hot coffee. Perfect timing!

"please……"

"oh……".

Lin Yan looked up and was surprised to see Shinjima Shogo's face. He abruptly opened his eyes, never expecting to dream of this man. Lin Yan had almost never had any dreams before, so this was the first time he'd had such a long dream.

And it was Makishima Shogo.

He got up, washed his face, and poured himself a cup of coffee to calm himself down. It was rather strange that Lin Yan, who had experienced so much, would still have moments of emotional instability. Perhaps it was because of 'him's' influence, since he had replaced that person.

Someone has contacted Lin Yan.

It's that person.

Director!

Although somewhat puzzled, Lin Yan still answered the call.

"...Chief?"

"I'm sorry to bother you so late. This is Shinya Kogami's number, right?"

"--kindness!?"

Lin Yan recognized the voice as that of Shinjima Shogo. He was stunned. What was going on? How could it be Shinjima Shogo's voice?

This must be Shinjima Shogo's voice. Lin Yan's memory is exceptional; there would be no misjudgment.

"Today, I learned the true nature of the Sibyl System. That thing isn't worth protecting with your life. That's all I wanted to say. Well then, goodbye." After rambling on to himself for a while, Shinjima Shogo abruptly ended the communication with Lin Yan.

Lin Yan stared sharply at the portable terminal.

It's like a sharp blade.

Piercing through everything.

At this moment, Ginoza's communications...

"I."

He answered the call immediately.

“…I’m sorry,” Ginoza’s voice sounded extremely tired. He was indeed exhausted and felt like he was about to faint at any moment.

"I had no idea why you suddenly apologized."

Lin Yan seemed to have realized the seriousness of the situation; something bad must have happened, and it was quite severe.

He swallowed.

"Could it be..."

"The police plane carrying Shinjima Shogo seems to have crashed, and Shinjima Shogo has escaped..." This was something that no one, not just Lin Yan, could have imagined. In such a heavily guarded place, that guy actually escaped.

The area around Duolong, where the accident occurred on the highway, has been cordoned off, and personnel from Section 1 have been ordered to the scene.

"Is that it...?"

Ginoza looked at the accident involving Doron and tried to approach him, but was stopped.

What stopped him was not a person, but Doron.

"According to code name K32, this area is designated as a secret zone. Only personnel with relevant intelligence privileges are allowed to enter." Doron issued a synthesized mechanical voice, which was pre-programmed and was very familiar to the people here, who had already gotten used to it.

"I'm Inspector Ginoza from the First Criminal Investigation Division! Get out of my way!!!!"

"Ginoza Inspector, confirmed, does not have the relevant intelligence authority."

"What!?" Although the victim's body was covered, his drooping arms and wrists still revealed his identity; he was a high-ranking official.

Tsunemori Akane also looked at the corpse.

The armored vehicle and anti-eavesdropping equipment arrived almost immediately. Duolong was in the driver's seat, while Director Hesheng got out.

Let me explain.

Shangguan's appearance surprised everyone in the department. Why was Hesheng here? What had happened?

0249 Escape [Please Subscribe]

Gino got into Hesheng's car, with Hesheng sitting opposite him, while the others could only wait outside and watch Duolong handle the accident.

"Please explain the details of Shinjima Shogo's escape."

"Details are highly confidential and cannot be disclosed. However, it's highly likely there's an inside agent within the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Otherwise, there's no way to explain the escape."
