Absolutely not.

He is Ginoza, an inspector, a law enforcer. Seiryu and his group, on the other hand, are potential criminals. What does this mean? At least one thing everyone within the system can understand is that their fates are pitiful. It's not that anyone is at fault; it's simply a cruel twist of fate.

Ginoza stared at Seiji's corpse before him.

That was a time when Seiryu and Ginoza were alone together.

"sit down."

Ginoza said.

Just then, Sei-riku was about to leave, but Ginoza called him back. In every previous encounter, Sei-riku had avoided being alone with Ginoza, which Sei-riku believed Ginoza wanted. But what did Ginoza really want? Perhaps Ginoza himself didn't know.

What is Ginoza really like inside?

Ginoza's actions at this moment may not be a momentary impulse, but rather a genuine and uncontrollable surge of familial affection, after all, blood is thicker than water.

Does he really hate Zheng Lu?

not necessarily.

No, I really don't hate him.

Time is not the only cure for wounds; rather, those wounds are never just wounds, but also the bond between Ginoza and Seiryu. This bond may not be something that ordinary people can understand, and perhaps even Ginoza himself has not fully grasped it.

Seijiro had always been keenly aware that his life was truly over, and his only wish was to avoid becoming a burden to Ginoza, and even to protect him when needed. Now, Seijiro had finally waited for this opportunity, finally had the chance to protect Ginoza.

A father.

A father who protects his son in the dark is a father who would never want to protect his son; this is the power of a father's love.

"I still have work to do, so I'll be leaving now."

"You really don't want to face me? Then just leave," Ginoza said. He didn't know why he did such a thing; he had mustered up all his courage this time.

I don't know if I'll have another chance if I fail this time.

"I am leaving."

Zheng Lu still left.

Ginoza watched Seiryu's retreating figure. This was the first time Ginoza had ever seen Seiryu's back from such an angle. Ginoza watched Seiryu leave quietly, without stopping him. He would never know why Seiryu kept running away.

In truth, Seiroku wasn't running away; rather, he was protecting those he wanted to protect in a more restrained way. His only remaining family member was Ginoza, and this was his sole purpose in life. And now that Ginoza had survived, Seiroku must have no regrets deep down, even without hearing that "Dad."

Seiryu's life is not the end of a tragedy. He must also hope that Ginoza can continue on his path. His life is still long, and there is still much hope in his life.

The factory's Dorungnaku.

Lin Yan looked at the Doron hangar before him, the destination he had reached by tracking Shinjima Shogo. The mechanical and cold rows of Dorons gave him a sense of unease. The hangar contained some old-fashioned machines, and the entire warehouse was actually abandoned.

Inferior products eliminated by the times.

A figure flashed past in his field of vision, a gunshot rang out, but it just missed him again, and Shinjima Shogo dodged it once more.

Lin Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Back then, he could kill a Taotie with a single shot, but now things were really not as good as before.

"Hehehahaha..." Shinjima Shogo's laughter was quite eerie; this man's thinking was always unfathomable.

"So you've finally abandoned that fake justice and are now harboring true murderous intent. You really are the man I've been waiting for."

"Really? But I didn't have a single expectation of you, you bastard."

"Since we've come this far, let's not say such cold things."

"Don't be so smug. You're not a special human being at all. You're just a piece of trash ignored by the world, ostracized and looked down upon. You must be quite resentful. You just can't stand being alone. You're no different from a brat who cries and complains about being rejected by his peers."

"What you're saying is quite interesting. Loneliness? Are you saying I'm the only one who's lonely? Who in this society isn't lonely?"

muzzle.

The dark muzzle of the gun was once again aimed at Shinjima Shogo, who was shrouded in shadow.

Shinjima Shogo seemed oblivious, and continued speaking in a cold voice.

"The era of establishing oneself through connections with others is long gone. In a world where everyone is protected by a system and lives in accordance with the norms set by the system, there is no need for social circles. Everyone is just living their pampered little lives in their narrow single rooms."

At the most critical moment, Shinjima Shogo dodged once again, but this time he was not so lucky, and the bullet had already damaged his body.

A scratch.

The wound was bleeding.

The snowfall wasn't heavy, so the injuries don't seem serious.

"--cut!"

Lin Yan stepped forward, his dagger sharp and pointed, leaving a wound on Shen Dao Sheng Hu's body.

"Aren't you the same, Kogami Shinya? No one agrees with your justice, no one understands your anger, so you betrayed trust and friendship, and even abandoned your only refuge, ending up in this state. Do you still have the right to laugh at my loneliness?"

"..."

Shinjima Shogo began his counterattack. He was indeed not an easy opponent, and in their several encounters, Shinjima Shogo had consistently performed exceptionally well. Lin Yan's mindset seemed more like testing Shinjima Shogo's true strength. Shinjima Shogo maintained strict self-discipline in his training, and his aerobic and strength training was extremely professional. It was believed that Shinjima Shogo must have a rigorous training plan.

"So, this is how I would describe you: You are not afraid of loneliness, and you use loneliness as a weapon."

Lin Yan kept his strength under control and did not act aggressively, while Shinjima Seigo was also on high alert, always looking for an opportunity.

Perhaps, people like Shinjima Shogo are no longer afraid of death, which could come at any moment; he simply wants to achieve his own goals.

The current battle situation may seem like Shinjima Shogo is handling things with ease, but that's not actually the case.

"What..." Shinjima Shogo stared in disbelief. This time, Lin Yan applied a little more force and cut a deep gash on Shinjima Shogo's forearm.

Blood splattered.

"Ugh...!"

Suddenly, a police pulse grenade rolled between them and exploded, something Lin Yan hadn't anticipated.

“——Tsk!”

Lin Yan had actually anticipated this, and a cunning smile appeared on his lips. Shinjima Seigo really thought he had escaped; he looked like a stray dog, at least in the hunter's eyes.

"That's it."

The voice was very familiar; it was Tsunemori Akane's voice, filled with unwavering determination. Tsunemori Akane's controller aimed at Lin Yan, the dark muzzle of the gun indicating that the two sides were already on the verge of exchanging blows.

Lin Yan simply smiled, making no move to resist, nor did he try to escape.

"Shogo Shinjima was here too, but he got away."

"I know, I will catch them too."

"Are you planning to handcuff me here and go after Shinjima Shogo by yourself?"

"I'm not that stupid."

Tsunemori threw it directly over, and Lin Yan caught Tsunemori's controller in mid-air. This little girl's behavior is really hard for ordinary people to understand.

"The safety is on, and it's locked in anesthesia mode. You should be able to use it now, please help me." Tsunemori Akane then picked up Lin Yan's revolver.

"That's good. Just use the tranquilizer gun to tranquilize Shinjima Shogo. If you try to do anything else, I'll shoot your leg."

"You startled me, although I think you should have become stronger..." Lin Yan finally understood Chang Shouzhu's intention, smiled wryly, it seems that he still doesn't understand women, "If only you were a little cuter."

How could this seemingly delicate and lovely girl possess such courage?

The two searched in perfect unison until they reached the outermost area, where traces of Shinjima Shogo's blood remained intermittently along the way. This area, primarily used for virus distribution, was adjacent to farmland and was an open area where the white dawn was already visible in the east.

"Why are you so adamant about not letting me kill Shinjima Shogo...?"

"Because it is illegal, I will not turn a blind eye to criminal behavior."

"Why uphold laws that fail to punish evildoers and protect people?"

"It's not the law that protects people, but people who obey the law."

"..."

"...People's hatred of evil and their will to find the right way to live—the accumulation of these wills—is the law. It's not just a set of rules or a system, but a fragile yet irreplaceable will that exists within everyone's heart. Compared to anger and hatred, it's incredibly fragile and can be easily destroyed. So... in order not to disappoint the prayers of those who yearn for a better world... we must strive to uphold the law to the very end. Never give up," said Tsunemori Akane. This girl had a life that most people envied. Gifted and intelligent from a young age, Tsunemori Akane was a typical 'model child,' so it's not surprising that she had such thoughts.

"One day, when the era arrives where everyone can think like this, the Sibyl System and all that will disappear. Latent criminals and enforcers will cease to exist. But..."

“But…” Lin Yan’s sharp gaze turned to the distance, where a refrigerated truck suddenly started up, and the driver was none other than Shinjima Shogo.

His hands were on the steering wheel.

The Dominator instantly targeted the cold-rolled train.

"Anesthesia mode—activated—" The anesthesia mode had no effect on the refrigerated truck, which instantly accelerated and sped away. Tsuneo Shouju's figure clung to the truck, and Lin Yan frowned slightly as he chased after it.

“Zhu”.

Tsunemori Akira's arm was subjected to tremendous pulling force; both his own weight and the impact of the vehicle's acceleration made him feel as if his arm was being torn off. Despite this, Tsunemori Akira endured the pain and aimed his revolver at the tire.

Boom—Bang—.

The bullet struck the tire, and the tangible sensation reminded Tsunemori Akane of the past, of the hunting rifle from Semumiya Temple.

A tire burst, leaving a hole inside the vehicle.

Tsunemori Akane was thrown down, but luckily she landed in a wheat field and wasn't seriously injured. She only hit her head on the ground and briefly lost consciousness.

"...Gurgle..."

In a daze, Tsunemori Akane seemed to have returned to a familiar room, and the familiar profile of the man lying on the table was so familiar. He was wearing a uniform shirt with his coat draped over his body.

Lin Yan was completely unprepared at this moment.

Tsunemori stared at him, captivated by his broad shoulders, thick chest, handsome features, and strong jawline, which combined to create the image of a perfect adult man.

What is particularly moving are the author's eyes.

A straight, prominent nose.

Her lips were slightly closed, and the shape of her lips was very beautiful, even more perfect than that of many women.

moment--

Her heart suddenly raced; there were only the two of them in the room. The quiet air flowed by, and, as if possessed, Tsunemori Akane reached out her hand, wanting to touch the sleeping face. She felt a mix of girlish excitement and a strange unease.

I always felt that one day they would be separated.

Lin Yan opened his eyes.

"...Hmm? Tsunemori...Inspector?"

"Ah."

"...Was I asleep?"

All of this happened in an instant, and Tsunemori Akane opened her eyes, quickly scanning her surroundings, alert to everything around her. Then, pain surged through her entire body. She remembered being thrown from the cold-rolled train and losing consciousness.

Tsunemori Akane tried to stand up but was kicked hard, causing her revolver to slip from her hand.

"what--"

The screams were filled with disgust.

Shinjima Shogo was the one who attacked her.

"Thinking back now... Inspector Tsunemori... I should have killed you from the beginning. My biggest mistake was treating you as the 'weak point of Criminal Investigation Division One' based on the intelligence gathered. At least that was true before Funahara Yuki died..."

Shinjima Shogo wanted to continue attacking Tsunemori Akane, but then he heard a voice.

"Saint Protector of Shen Island!" Lin Yan's ruler had already targeted Saint Protector of Shen Island, but Saint Protector of Shen Island smiled coldly, with a hint of mockery.

"...Tsk..."

Lin Yan knew that Chang Shouzhu was injured, so he bent down to check her injuries.

Despite his injuries, Tsunemori tried to get up and chase after them, picking up a revolver and attempting to run. Lin Yan snatched the revolver away, now holding it in one hand and the Dominator in the other.

Is it a choice between two options?
