"...It's like someone saw right through me. How did you do that?"

"Observational skills and rational thinking, Mr. Saiga." With that, Lin Yan put on the helmet. Although the helmet was highly functional, it wasn't particularly stylish. However, with Lin Yan's good looks, it was still acceptable. His slender figure and perfectly proportioned long legs were impeccable.

He Za watched Lin Yan leave.

Perhaps this is the last time we'll see each other?

After all, life is unpredictable, and who knows if there will be another chance to meet? Saiga still admires this man, both for his spirit and his ability.

……

The large room in the corner.

Total darkness.

Apart from Tokimori Akane, there was no one else around. Her gaze remained fixed on the terminal device, which displayed all the detailed maps and showed the progress of the scanner's repairs, but she didn't know how to proceed to the next step.

She frowned, at a loss for what to do.

What should we do?

During this time, Tsunemori Akane even lost some weight. Every day, she racked her brains trying to figure out how to achieve complete success. However, given her current abilities, she could only watch helplessly as things continued to develop.

It was a deep sigh.

Tsunemori Akane's brows furrowed even more.

She really wanted to know where Lin Yan was, but she was conflicted. In fact, she didn't want to know. On one hand, she was worried, and on the other hand, she felt guilty for not being able to give Lin Yan even the slightest bit of help.

"Kogami, where did you go...?"

Her whole body ached.

This was especially true for her arms and shoulders. She even wondered what it would be like if the sore parts could be replaced with artificial ones. Would that save her from having to endure this pain every day? This thought just popped into her head.

Tsunemori Zhu muttered to himself.

She sat languidly in the chair, not in a leisurely way but rather with a sense of helplessness, after all, there are only so many things an executive can do.

Where did they go?

Chang Shouzhu was deep in thought.

If we consider the issue from his perspective, might we make different discoveries? If we consider that the Enforcers are potential criminals—potential criminals employed to organize crime—that's the composition of the Enforcers. Tsunemori Akane has a very low crime rate; he probably couldn't understand the thought process of a potential criminal.

Unable to see things from the other side's perspective.

"A bottomless black swamp." A voice echoed in his mind; it was his own voice. "To investigate the swamp, the only way is to jump in..."

Tsunemori Akane, who had been squinting, suddenly opened her eyes.

She almost fell.

"...Professor Saiga's house...?"

Tsunemori Akane immediately pulled up information about the area around Saiga's residence on her terminal, but found nothing. Instead, she heard a hissing sound.

"Wait... why now..." Could it be a machine malfunction? Tsunemori Akane selected Ginoza's address, but it still showed 'no signal'.

Why is there no signal at the address of Ginoza?

This is strange.

Tsunemori Akane's face was full of doubt.

"...Huh?" When she turned on the indoor terminal and there was still no response, she knew that something must have gone wrong, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

He immediately became alert, and heard a strange sound in the distance, seemingly coming from the entrance. What could it be?

Which direction is Tsunemori looking in?

Duolong?

The porter, Duolong, gradually drew closer.

Doron, after all, is a tool for maintaining order in this world, subject to the constraints of the system, and there is absolutely no danger it poses. However, Tsunemori Akane is not a fool; she remains vigilant.

"..."

The weapon that Doron was carrying was actually a Dominator.

The Dominator was revealed inside the box.

Could it be...? Could it be...? Could it be...?

Tsunemori Akane drew the Dominator, whose voice resounded throughout the space, yet her face still bore an expression of confusion.

"Inspector Tsunemori Akane, let me tell you the whole truth." Was this Dorgon's system voice? Obviously, there was a difference. Tsunemori Akane frowned deeply. This was not the system's preset Dorgon's voice. Dorgon's voice was extremely common and the one that Tsunemori Akane was most familiar with.

But this voice has emotions.

These are emotions unique to humans.

This Doron walked forward, and Tsunemori Akane seemed to realize that Doron was leading the way for her, and that the direction in front of her was the direction that Nona Tower of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare was heading.

They headed towards the fourth floor.

Four underground floors.

Further ahead was the end of the mechanical passage, the last place where Teng lost contact. She stared at the reinforced concrete wall before her, when suddenly the wall moved; it was a hidden passage, a door.

It turns out the wall was a disguise.

Even upon close inspection, it would be difficult to detect this level of disguise; it's just a partition, not a wall.

The fact that it wasn't discovered before must have been due to some technical reason; it seems this wall is truly extraordinary.

The steps continue downwards.

"Please go inside, watch your step." The Dominator's voice was as eerie as ever. Where exactly did this place lead?

But now it's too late to go back.

A thought flashed through Tsunemori Akane's mind: Did Fuji also discover this well-hidden passage back then? If so, does that mean that Fuji arrived here, and it was Shinjima Shogo's subordinates who discovered this place? Or did they have a conflict?

So it seems plausible that Fuji was killed by Shinjima Shogo's men. After all, Shinjima Shogo was an utterly wicked person; in his eyes, life was not worth cherishing, they were all ants, and he had already killed so many innocent people.

"Where exactly are you taking me?"

"What you will see next is the mind and heart of this world."

"...the center of the world?"

"No, it is the world itself." What exactly is the heart of the world? This is something Tsunemori Akane cannot understand, so she can only grit her teeth and continue on.

0272 Shinjima Shogo Enters the House [Please Subscribe]

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's defeat will not deter Shogo Makishima; he will likely prepare other plans, and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare should be prepared. As early as when Sengyuji and Rikako Ore were still alive, Shogo Makishima had already prepared to attack the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

Shinjima Shogo saw all the locations of the street scanners on the terminal device. It was Jackson's invention, and it was really useful at this moment, like eyes for the blind.

An elderly man was attacked.

"Although you've been retired for many years, it's astonishing that someone as meritorious as you, who solved our country's food problem, lives such a simple life, Dr. Guan Juan. Poverty is indeed a virtue, but I think you should at least put some effort into your home security system..."

Guan Juan's expression twisted.

He kept making painful noises because of the physical pain. His voice was full of fear and unease. In the face of this ruthless killer, even a normal person would not be able to keep a calm mind.

At this moment, their hands and feet were bound.

The reel was strapped to the chair.

Shinjima Shogo weighed the sharp razor in his hand, its blade reflecting a sharp light, and stared wide-eyed at Shinjima Shogo.

The Adam's apple on his neck goes up and down.

It was as if the sharp blade of that razor would slice through his throat at any moment.

Is that a razor?

No.

That is the scythe of death.

"You were the one who proposed the idea of ​​using high-energy oats to pre-infect crops with a defensive virus that can resist all pathogens, right?"

Despite enduring the pain, the tube roll had no choice but to nod.

He was truly terrified, frightened, and uneasy.

“Now, every year, the virus is updated to correspond to the anticipated pathogens, providing high-energy oats with an ironclad protection… the ‘Grain Rice Soul God’ virus system,”

Shinjima Shogo played with the blade as he walked into the tube with a smile.

Such an almost perverted expression made Juan Guan even more panicked, uneasy, and fearful, unlike the kind of violent thug that you could tell at a glance.

Shinjima Shogo's expression was unreadable.

That kind of fear is the most tormenting.

It drives people almost crazy.

"Izumo University, where you taught, is now defunct and being used as a virus distribution center. All the engineering is automated; all you need to do is input data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's terminal, and the high-energy oat defense virus will adjust according to the epidemic forecast and then be spread to farmland throughout the country. What interests me is the method for visiting your lair, and the code for manually altering the DNA sequence to change the target of the defense virus. Of course, it's possible, isn't it? After all, it's the culmination of your life's work."

A DNA sequence, or gene sequence, is the primary structure of a real or hypothetical DNA molecule that carries genetic information, represented by a string of letters.

A partial DNA sequence or gene sequence is a primary structure of a real or hypothetical DNA molecule carrying genetic information, represented by a string of letters.

The only possible letters are A, C, G, and T, representing the four nucleotides that make up DNA—adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine, respectively. Each letter represents a base, and two bases form a base pair. The pairing rule for base pairs is fixed: AT, CG. Typically, they are arranged without gaps, such as the sequence AAAGTCTGAC. Any string of nucleotides longer than 4 is called a sequence.

Its biological function depends on the context sequence; a sequence may be read forwards or backwards; it may contain coding or no coding. DNA sequences may also contain junk DNA.

Shinjima Shogo slowly approached.

Then, out of the blue, they slashed his face hard with a knife.

Fresh blood flowed from the wound.

"...!"

"I don't really like this unrefined approach either, but unfortunately time is tight, and we both want this unpleasant time to end quickly, how about it?"

Meanwhile, Lin Yan was riding his motorcycle through a high-end residential street in Ichikawa City.

Before him was a courtyard.

The closest place was Guan Juan's house. He easily leaped over the wall and nimbly raised his weapon. It was a simple residence, but it was well-equipped with highly intelligent home features.

"The security system is down..."

After taking off his helmet, his eyes changed slightly; everything before him was clearly unusual.

The entryway in front of us is open.

It's really unreasonable that he entered the room so easily. Is such sophisticated and fancy security equipment just a paper tiger?

From the entryway to the living room and then to the master bedroom.

Before Lin Yan lay a lifeless corpse, completely devoid of any vital signs. I lay on the ground.

"……Um……"

The corpse before us was a truly gruesome sight, with signs of destruction visible everywhere. It seems that this Shinjima Shogo is indeed a pervert, his cruel treatment or torture of a corpse is a truly grotesque fetish.

Lin Yan stopped looking at the corpse and looked around.

"Didn't make it... You've fallen quite a bit behind..."

Lin Yan searched the dormitory, the bathroom, and the study... Of course, Shinjima Shogo was no longer there. He opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water. There was also a lot of food in the refrigerator, which, although not particularly delicious, could at least fill his stomach.

There are many books on the bookshelf.

Finally, Lin Yan also checked the victim's laptop, which might hold some clues.

While Lin Yan was searching for clues, Ginoza was also pondering a question.

—What does that guy really think of me?
