Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Lin Yan stopped her motorcycle and glanced at the full moon in the sky. The moon's cold light fell on her shoulders, creating an eerie atmosphere over the distant buildings and wheat fields.

A glint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

That was the hunter's gaze.

Resolute yet sharp.

……

The heliport is shrouded in night.

The helicopter landed.

Tsunemori Akane, Ginoza, Seiri, and Rokugozuka boarded the helicopter, along with four staff members and a Doron. Inside the cabin, Tsunemori Akane picked up the radio and made a call.

"Please set off."

Inside the cockpit, Doron received Tsunemori Akane's orders, which it would execute flawlessly. The helicopter departed the airport. Each member retrieved their equipment; they were about to face a tough battle, the outcome of which was unknown.

The same applies to life and death.

"...Speaking of viruses used in biological attacks, can they be made so easily?"

"The entire process is almost entirely automated. As long as the machines are still functional, the virus defense capabilities of high-energy oats aren't anything special..."

"What I thought was an impregnable barrier to ensure food self-sufficiency has actually turned into a double-edged sword, turning a good medicine into a deadly poison." Ginoza felt this deeply.

This is a classic case of "a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

vice versa.

Tsunemori Akane's expression was grave as she looked towards a small window. Her eyes seemed unfocused, yet also as if she were intently staring at something. On the other side of the window were two figures, the backs of two men, reflected in Tsunemori Akane's pupils.

“I haven’t read Dick’s books yet. Which one should I start with?” This was a sentence that Jackson once said, which left a deep impression on Shogo Shinjima. At this moment, what appeared in front of Shogo Shinjima was Jackson’s prosthetic eye, the prosthetic eye with records.

In this world, machines replacing human bodies is nothing new.

And the most ridiculous thing is—

After a human dies, are machines still alive? In this boring world, interesting things are few and far between, and the person before me, already dead, hadn't even finished reading Philip K. Dick's book. Everything in the laboratory is automated; Shogo Shinjima awaits…

While talking to himself.

Jesus then told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field, but while people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and left.”

Meanwhile, Lin Yan had already arrived at the factory.

Doron was on high alert, with lights flashing. If anyone approached, Doron would immediately step forward to stop them, or even use force to stop them.

Since Doron was not destroyed, it means that Shinjima Shogo did not choose this path.

This is very simple reasoning.

Another option, obviously, is to bypass the Great Firewall.

A few minutes later, Lin Yan stood in front of the control panel in the research room. It was a simple, outdated control panel with fingerprint and corneal recognition functions.

boom--

The pistol will open when aimed, sparks flying.

It's very simple, very straightforward.

However, Lin Yan did not fire his gun. Doing so would alert Duolong. It wasn't that he was worried about not being able to deal with the Duolong robots, but he simply didn't favor such crude methods.

"...So...no windows were found that could be broken by human force..."

The sound of engines could be heard overhead; the helicopter had arrived, which meant that Tsunemori Akane and Ginoza had caught up.

The helicopter was faintly visible in the night sky.

“…Eh…”

Lin Yan sighed. Ginoza was really persistent. Based on his understanding of Ginoza, this was indeed his style. However, Tsunemori Akane's persistence was somewhat beyond Lin Yan's expectations. This little girl was growing up at an extraordinary speed, withstanding enormous pressure. She was no longer that crying little girl, but a responsible and courageous inspector.

The tiltrotor aircraft landed.

Tsunemori Akira, Ginoza, Seiri Riku, and Rokugozuka each carried equipment. As soon as they got off the plane, Ginoza frowned with some dissatisfaction.

"Damn it, it's so big..."

"Because this factory will be responsible for managing the distribution of virus-resistant supplies to farms across the country."

Tsunemori Zhu wasn't surprised. If a factory could supply virus prevention materials to the whole country, then the scale must be unimaginably large, which was to be expected.

Zheng Lu was slightly taken aback.

"This equipment of this scale is actually operating completely unmanned."

“The larger the prey, the easier it is to aim. If you use a poison needle that can kill even a whale, it will be even easier… This tactic is the style of Shinjima Shogo.”

The terminal device displays information.

"It was shot by Kogami."

"Varied……"

"You've seen us land, haven't you? He's around here too."

"This is Tsunemori." Tsunemori Akane answered the call almost impatiently, her eyes suddenly widening in surprise.

"It came earlier than expected."

This sound.

That's the sound.

This was the voice she had longed for, so clear now, yet so unreal. The tears and emotional breakdowns of the past seemed to return, like a raging flood, utterly unreasonable. She was on the verge of collapse; she hadn't heard that voice in so long.

However, it had only been a few days.

This must be what it feels like to live through an eternity. It was the first time Tsunemori Akane had ever experienced such a heart-wrenching moment of emotional collision.

So intense.

It's so hard to control.

Even so, Tsunemori Akane had to remain calm. Deep down, she told herself countless times—stay calm, stay calm, stay calm!!!

"Don't underestimate the Public Security Bureau. You're not the only one who can track down Makishima Shogo."

"Shogo Shinjima has already entered the facility, and is probably using the equipment in the tube roll laboratory to adjust the virus defense. Or perhaps, he has already finished."

"I won't let that man have his way."

"Then there's not much time left. We can only stop the facility before that guy spreads the virus... The Public Security Bureau should be able to cut off the factory's power supply with their authority."

"In that case, not only the factory, but the security system will also be shut down. Isn't that what Kogami's goal?"

"..."

"Shogo Shinjima can hack into the system using the biometric authentication of the tube, and you can't do anything if you're locked out. So you're trying to use us to disable the security system and kill Shinjima before we do, right? I won't let you do that, absolutely not."

"...Shogo Shinjima wants to destroy this country, and now the Public Security Bureau only has one option. Cut off the power quickly, and the country will be saved."

"I will save you too, and I won't let Shinya Kogami become a murderer."

"Then let's see who moves faster."

"Could the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (an agency similar to the Ministry of Agriculture) grant us authority over the security system for this facility?"

“The procedures will take time, and during this period, Shinjima Shogo may take away our troops… We can only do as Kogami said and stop the facility itself from operating.”

"The backup power switching command has been frozen, and we are just waiting for the power plant to stop supplying power."

"Let me confirm one thing: if Kogami's crime coefficient exceeds 300 and his lethal mode is activated when we encounter him... please don't shoot, call me over. Keep going until we can use tranquilizer on him."

"What good would it do to call you over?"

“I have a trump card to deal with Kogami. It’s alright, leave it to me.” Suddenly, Tsunemori Akane’s conversation with the Dominator echoed in her mind.

So what does that mean?

Tsunemori Akane's brows furrowed slightly.

"We'll be hunting down Makishima Shogo next. Will you help us?"

"of course."

"Then, let's... disengage the safety on this gun and lock it in tranquilizer mode. Can you do that?"

"The dominant force's execution model is determined by the detected crime coefficient, which is the fundamental principle of maintaining law and order today and is an inviolable system."

"To defeat Shinjima Seigo, we need powerful weapons of equal strength. We must protect ourselves. If the Dominator is unavailable, we'll have to rely on more primitive and powerful weapons. In the worst-case scenario, we might kill Shinjima Seigo."

That's because you lack self-effort.

“Our capabilities are limited. The probability of arresting Shinjima Shogo without cause is never 100%. If you allow this special case, the probability will increase slightly. Think about what the best decision would be. Aren’t you good at calculating gains and losses?”

After a moment of silence, the Dominator emitted an electronic voice, which was even somewhat eerie.

Chang Shouzhu was slightly taken aback.

"...From this moment until the capture of Shogo Shinjima, a special exception is permitted for the operation involving the relevant terminal device. The safety is permanently disabled; execution mode: non-lethal, tranquilizer mode. However, please use with caution, ensuring other investigators do not witness this."

"I know."

"Hey, Miss..." Zheng Lu seemed to have noticed something and stepped forward to speak, "It's been a little strange since you were called away by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. I don't know what happened, but have you been handling everything on your own?"

Are you worried?

"Ah, just like Kogami's time, the end of an executive who went too far. I don't want to see that happen again."

"Should we check my crime rate?"

“It’s alright. Please point your Dominator at me, and I will erase the record with my Inspector privileges,” Tsunemori Akane said firmly without wavering.

Zheng Lu was still somewhat hesitant.

However, seeing Tsunemori Akane's certainty, he turned the ruler towards Tsunemori Akane and frowned slightly.

"Crime coefficient 24 Criminal Division Login Inspector Warning Recorded rebellious behavior of the Enforcer Will be reported to headquarters."

Twenty-four?

Only twenty-four?

Such a low number was unbelievable to Seiryu, and her astonished expression was met with a slight, sarcastic smile from Tsunemori Akane.

"I am now the person the system expects." With that, Tsunemori Akane looked towards Rokugozuka and said softly yet firmly, "Rokugozuka, I'm counting on you."

"Understood. Cut off power to the entire facility."

at the same time.

Izumo University.

Inside the tube roll research room.

Under Shinjima Shogo's supervision, all the work was proceeding smoothly, including ingredient checks and other procedures.

At this moment, the centrifuge is in operation.

but--

Darkness suddenly fell.

The guardian of Shinjima frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased that such an unexpected turn of events had occurred at such a crucial moment.

It takes only a little thought to know whose masterpiece this is.

"You're really capable."

However, Shinjima Shogo didn't stop. Instead, he took out a spare flashlight and illuminated the small area in front of him. He was even in a good mood, humming "Morda River" from Smetana's "My Country".

On the ground was a canvas bag with its zipper open. He took out a weapon, or rather, a spare part, from the pocket.
