【Fantasy Pass】-Psycho Pass Banquet

I?Witnessed the murderer?

Mitsuki Unabara's words were like a bucket of icy water pouring down his head, instantly taking the temperature from Kamijou Touma's body away.

He has no memory at all of the facts that the other party said should be taken for granted, or in other words, he can't have any memory at all.

Kamijou Touma’s brain was irreparably damaged in an accident three years ago, and the result of this damage is—his memory is like a broken puzzle, although it has structure and shape, it is There are still faults that cannot be spliced.

If you want to change a more reasonable metaphor, it is more like a large number of chaotic memory fragments randomly stuffed into an empty container with the shell of 'Kamijo Touma'.

Some things are clearly known, but there is no sense of reality; some things are obviously extremely important, but there is no way to recall them.

That is to say, the 'Kamijo Toma' in the eyes of others is not the real 'Kamijo Toma'.

Instead, only fakes with the same faces.

What does the murderer look like...?

red.

The scene that looked like a sea of ​​flowers and a pool of blood suddenly flashed back in front of my eyes.

There seems to be a faint, sweet aroma lingering at the tip of the nose.

Rain, sirens, screams...

Kamijou Touma felt as if his brain was suddenly thrown into a constantly turning turbine and stirred, the piercing pain almost tore him in half.

The girl sat among the flowers and smiled.

"It's okay. It's okay if you can't remember. After all—"

A thin red thread ran through her neck, and beads of blood gushed from the thread.

The girl's head slowly tilted and fell from her slender neck.

But even so, she smiled:

"I am already dead."

The intense sting first made him dizzy, and then brought the desire to vomit that made his entire stomach twitch.

"Surveillance officer—?!"

Kamijou Touma suddenly heard someone shouting loudly, and then the entire field of vision in front of him began to shake violently, his knees hit the hard concrete road, and his palms pressed against the uneven gravel——

After feeling such a tactile sensation, Kamijou Touma realized the fact that 'I have fallen'.

Simply fell asleep like this.

Don't think about anything.

On the verge of his consciousness collapsing, Kamijou Touma vaguely saw Accelerator who had been sitting with his knees hugged stood up, with his back turned to him, and his figure was shrouded in that small piece of dim yellow light.

"I have to go."

For some reason, this faint murmur was especially clear in his ears.

"You have to get out of here."

No.

Absolutely not.

No one saw exactly how Fang Accelerator used his saber at that moment, and no one knew where he had hidden that forbidden sharp weapon before.

The blade that replaced all the words cut towards Motoharu Tsuchimikado who leaned forward to investigate.

Although the blond executive jumped back to avoid the attack that could blind him in the nick of time, the sharp sound of the switchblade scraping against the frame of the sunglasses still sent chills down his spine.

The distance is four meters, Accelerator's choice is not to pursue, but...

"Oops!"

Motoharu Tsuchimikado, who took two or three steps back to prevent being attacked again, scolded himself for being stupid the moment Accelerator turned and ran away.

It's not that he couldn't stab himself, but he created a gap to escape in order to force himself back!

As long as you escape from the Yanzhong Cemetery and cross the railway track between Arakawa District and Taito District, it is an abandoned area where the Security Bureau cannot exercise jurisdiction.

Accelerator, who was supposed to throw off the pursuers with all his might, turned his head back at that moment as if he had been bewitched.

He saw Kamijou Touma.

"One way--!"

But what answered him was a disappointed roar and a gun aimed at himself.

Kamijou Touma stood there, took out the Dominator from the holster on his waist, aimed and locked on the target, and calmly ordered:

"You take another step forward, and I will definitely shoot. One way."

The moment Accelerator was brought into the attack range by the icy iron, Accelerator stopped in his tracks, tilted his head as if looking at a stranger he met for the first time, and looked at the man who aimed his gun at him.

He didn't ask where he was going, he didn't ask what happened, he just stood there, gun, and didn't say a word.

why?

In the end, Accelerator showed an extremely sad smile that could not be called a smile at all, and he asked:

"Is this trust?"

Kamijou Touma was silent.

This time, there was still no answer.

Accelerator allowed Tsuchimikado Motoharu to cut his arms behind his back and handcuff him, and he never resisted again.

This is already an answer.

Yubi Danxi patted Kamijou Touma who was still standing there: "Surveillance officer? Are you... all right?"

"It's okay." Kamijou Touma turned around from his distraught appearance just now, and replied very straightforwardly: "After the on-site investigation, send the data back to the bureau, so let's put the body down and take it back. It's getting late, and we should go back for an autopsy as soon as possible. It’s going to be quite busy today.”

This forced expression makes people even more uneasy.Jiebiao Danxi confirmed again: "Really...it doesn't matter?"

"Well. No problem at all."

After Kamijou Tamaki walked away in doubt, Kamijou Touma looked down at himself still holding the right hand of the Dominator.

why.

Why did I already hold it when I came back to my senses?

This action is extremely familiar.

It seems to be engraved in the circuit of your own body.

In other words, in a past, forgotten night, I once aimed the ruler at someone standing there without thinking, just like now.

-

The anonymous police car, which had already been set to automatic driving mode, accelerated and turned smoothly. When it passed the vibration speed bump, the car slightly shook. Kamijou Touma put his hands on the constantly turning steering wheel, but his eyes were not focused on the road conditions.

Accelerator sat in the co-pilot's seat, his hands were still handcuffed behind his back, and he couldn't explain any emotion from his quiet to abnormal behavior.

Kamijou Touma reached out and turned off the communication line connecting the Security Bureau and the escort vehicle, even though he knew that cutting off the communication for no reason would cause him to be held accountable afterwards.

"Where are you going after you leave here?"

No answer.

"If I say don't go, will you stay?"

Still no answer.

"What's the reason?"

Kamijou Touma firmly grasped both sides of the steering wheel with his ten fingers, and stepped on the brake with his right foot weakly. He only needed a reasonable answer, and he would immediately step on it and let Accelerator go.

A sudden stop on a busy highway would definitely cause a serious traffic jam, and in such chaos, no one would notice an 'ordinary' executive officer who secretly broke off the handcuffs and escaped.

"why do not you answer me?"

Answer quickly.

Give me an excuse to favor you.

answer.

"Kamijo Touma."

Accelerator stared at his own face reflected in the car window, and suddenly called out.

It wasn't 'surveillance officer' or 'hello', but he called out his name seriously.

"You said, I can trust you, right?"

He asked like this, his tightly pursed lips seemed to show a brief smile because of the slightly funny past, but the expression on his face was quickly replaced by unshakable indifference.

"Just in case, I want to make sure—that should be, isn't it a lie?"

"Ah."

"No matter what I become in your eyes?"

Kamijou Touma's fingers trembled uneasily.

"That's good."

Although the second question was not answered, Accelerator closed his eyes in peace.

Maybe at that moment, I made a decision that would change everything.

At 31:[-] in the morning, the sky was already slightly bright. The thick ultramarine blue was dotted with the colorful lights of Tokyo, and the natural starlight was engulfed in it. Stretching out from other tall buildings like a giant's arm, the brightest light surrounds it, eclipsing all the surrounding foils.

The gradually shortened distance made the hazy scenery clear under the faint morning light, but outside the brightly lit main hall on the first floor, right in front of the only granite-paved road sandwiched by green spaces on both sides, stood a A row of black shadows like stone statues.

It is said to be a security self-supporting machine, but it is much higher than that, and it looks a bit like people lined up horizontally?

Against the bright light from the glass window, those black shadows were as unnatural as the black steel nails that had been forcibly knocked on the whiteboard, and the sharp breath made people not want to get close at all.

The automatic driving system issued a notification that the destination had been reached, and then stopped on the spot and turned off the engine. Kamijou Touma hesitated for a moment looking at the scene outside the window, but opened the door anyway.

"It seems that a lot of things have happened this night, so it's time to say good morning, right?" The brown-haired man over 180 centimeters in a slim suit stood in front of the main hall door as if he had been waiting for a long time, showing him a provocation smile.

Emperor Kakine.Kamijou Touma glanced indifferently at the man in front of him, and the other eight executive officers lined up beside him.

This kind of scenery can only be described as abnormal - no one would like to stand outside the security bureau in the cold morning at the end of October, but they are standing here, and no one has a joke on their face The expression, as if observing the mission target, looked at Kamijou Touma with cold eyes.

However, Kamijou Touma, who was so closely watched, was completely unmoved, walked to the other side of the police car and opened the passenger's door.

"Woo meow—what is this doing? Is the Security Bureau launching a new promotional video in order to beautify its image and trick students into applying for the exam meow?" Tsuchimikado Motoharu, who came out of the escort car, touched his own with two fingers. Chin nodded and said: "I don't have any objections to doing this, but after all, shouldn't it be our department that is responsible for the facade?"

"What are you doing? The welcome ceremony? Isn't it too luxurious?" Jiebiao Danxi couldn't stand it and looked at the second department in front of him that blocked the entire entrance and exit.

Among the eight executive officers, a woman with flowing brown curly hair and a tall figure suddenly turned her back and joined the ranks of denouncing the second series, complaining to Kakine Teitoku, who is the boss: "What are you still doing? ! Hurry up and talk to them clearly!"

"Don't order me!" Kakine Teito yelled at her in displeasure, but his brows furrowed in anger relaxed when Accelerator stood up from the co-pilot:

"Oh." He looked at the white-haired man with his hands cuffed behind his back so he couldn't use a cane, and could only walk with Kamijou Touma's support, and laughed in disgust: "I don't want to thank you, but I helped you a lot .”

As far as the content is concerned, the target of the other party's speech is indeed yourself.Kamijou Touma glanced at the man in front of him with a flat look, but still didn't intend to pay attention to him.

Kakine Teitoku, who was ignored twice in a row, sneered, raised a hand to block Kamijou Touma who wanted to walk past him: "No. Please stand there and don't move. There are some things we have to be here say clearly."

"Then. What's your business?" Kamijou Touma stopped and looked directly into the other person's eyes.

Kakine Teito said word by word with a haughty expression:

“于10月30日1时24分正式列入安全局刑事科档案的‘谷中灵园碎尸案’并入‘安全局全土重大指定事件97’交由二系处理。由上条当麻监视官带领的一系即刻起撤出调查，不得随意干涉。”

The man's words were like sharp knives, slowly peeling off the calm expression on Kamijou Touma's face, and he asked back in a mixture of shock and anger:

"What rights do you have?!"

This case is definitely not as simple as it appears-it may be the only link between the present and the past that he can grasp.Because of this, Kamijou Touma must not let go.

"It's true that we don't have one, but that doesn't mean the director doesn't have one." Kakine Teitoku lightly shook his wrist, projecting a virtual document into the air.

It was a document drawn up by the top leader of the Security Bureau, Hesheng Zangzong, and it was written with what Kakine Teitoku said just now——

The second department is fully responsible for the case, and the first department will withdraw from the investigation from now on.

"Then leave the corpses and evidence to us to deal with, and everyone in the department has been busy all night, why don't you go back and rest early, after all, you are no longer needed here." Kakine Teitoku narrowed his eyes happily, Very offensive words were uttered in very polite words.

"I'm going to talk to the chief." Dazed by a hot blood coming from nowhere, Kamijou Touma let go of Accelerator's hand, pushed away Kakine Teitoku's body and ran towards the gate of the Security Bureau.

"Ah, yes. There seems to be one more thing."

At that moment, Kakine Teitoku spoke in an extremely exaggerated tone, as if deliberately for Kamijou Touma, who was obsessed with the ownership of the case, to hear, he said loudly:

"Fang Tongxing, the former executive officer of the Criminal Division of the Security Bureau, is suspected of participating in the murder case, and we will arrest him in accordance with the law."

Kamijou Touma slammed to a halt as if hit by an invisible wall, but at the same time he made this movement, Kakine Teitoku had already held the ruler in his hand.

He leisurely turned his head back and showed the man an extremely nasty smile, and pulled the trigger.

Maybe it was because he didn't understand what happened until the last moment, or maybe he already knew everything that would happen when he returned here. Accelerator, who was directly hit by the nerve ray, didn't show any abnormal expressions, he just had a convulsion in his body. Then he fell to the ground silently.

The world around him seemed to have become quiet and blank at that moment. Kamijou, who was forcibly stopped in place by the two executive officers of the second department, looked numbly at Teito Kakine who laughed exaggeratedly for some reason, and was targeted by the ruler. Tsuchimikado Motoharu and others who could not move, and Accelerator who collapsed on the ground as if dead.

"Hahahahaha——thank you for helping me tie him up in advance, otherwise it would be a bit tricky to make this guy make a fuss."

Kakine Teito casually tossed the ruler to the executive officer beside him, his words that should have been grateful were full of sarcasm.He walked up to the unresponsive Accelerator like a stroll, raised his leg and kicked the man's defenseless side:

"Hey, the dominator's anesthesia gun mode doesn't work for you at all, right? Look up, your surveillance officer is very worried, open your eyes and say goodbye to him. After all, there is a chance to meet again It might be in the next life."

Yes, Accelerator, who was shot by the Dominator at close range, did not faint miraculously, but if you look carefully, you will find that although the effect of the tranquilizer gun did not directly reach the brain, his body did. He shivered slightly under control, as if the pain caused by the continuous flow of high-voltage current in his body made such a waking life a torment instead.

"..."

Accelerator's lips twitched, as if in response to the other party's words.

"What?" Kakine Teitoku asked in a rare good temper.

Accelerator rested his forehead on the ground, stared at the man in front of him from bottom to top, and raised the corners of his mouth in disdain: "I said, you trash."

"No." Kakine Teitoku shook his head regretfully, and stepped on Accelerator's back as if he was about to crush an insect on the ground: "Trash can only be thrown on the ground. Guys like you. "

The comfortable city near dawn, the institutional symbol composed of scales and double-headed snakes, and the man who is committing violence unscrupulously outside the center of national power constitute a paradoxical and creepy picture.

Kamijou Touma tried to take a step forward, and said in an unusually hoarse voice:

"stop."

"do not come--!"

He didn't even respond to the humiliation of being trampled on, but Accelerator was suddenly stimulated by his action, and hissed.

"What? It's like I'm a villain. As for what you said to stop, is it like this?" Kakine Teitoku raised his right foot that was pressing on Accelerator's back, and then vigorously moved towards his The arm stepped down.

The weight of almost his entire body weight made his bones whine strangely.

Accelerator didn't make any sound, although the severe pain made his eyes black, and his canines sank into his lips, leaving a bloody mark.

"Ah Shang—?!"

Tsuchimikado Motoharu, under the aim of many rulers, suddenly yelled in horror.

A white light with murderous intent suddenly hit his face, and Kakine Teitoku, who didn't understand what happened, took a step back reflexively, something cold brushed against his cheek, and immediately it hurt sharply From there it exploded in one breath.

Kamijou Touma stood less than three meters away from Kakine Teitoku, staring at him with emotionless eyes, holding a switchblade in his right hand.

The knife was held by another person five or ten minutes ago.

Kakine Teitoku touched his face belatedly, red liquid flowed out from the open wound, but his expression did not show any pain, instead he let out a joyful laugh:

"Surveillance officer. You are very interesting."

If he could destroy himself in front of this arrogant guy, his expression would probably be more interesting.

Kamijou Touma didn't answer, but silently clenched the switchblade in his hand.

In the end, it was the brown curly-haired second-line executive officer who had spoken before who stepped into the tense atmosphere. She held the sharp-looking blade with her left hand and said sharply, "Enough is enough. Do you want to destroy yourself too?"

The blade of the switchblade easily sank into her white and soft palm, but what was exposed from the gap in the skin was not blood, but a metallic luster.

Kakine Teitoku, who was extremely displeased with the woman's sudden attack, slightly narrowed his eyes: "Mugino, there is no room for you to intervene here."

"If you think He Sheng Zong Zong will obediently clean up the mess for you if this continues. Feel free." The woman called Mai Ye sneered and let go of the hand holding the blade.

As if he had weighed the result between the quickness of his tongue and the subsequent impact, Kakine Teitoku resentfully retracted the foot that was on Accelerator's arm, and ordered to his subordinates with his mouth crooked: "Throw this guy away!" In the interrogation room, there are still many questions to ask him."

Two men set up Accelerator, one left and one right, and the broken arm made another distorted sound due to the rough movement, but the person who was treated in this way did not respond, his head drooped weakly, and his long forehead hair Covered eyes.

"stop."

Kakine Teitoku's footsteps were stopped by a switchblade approaching his chest.

"What's wrong? You haven't given up yet?" He clicked his tongue irritably.

Kamijou Touma pointed the tip of his knife at the other party, with an unshakable determination on his face: "Let you investigate the case. Return him to me."

Kakine Teitoku looked back at Accelerator in surprise, and then laughed strangely as if hearing a cold joke: "What if I say no? Are you going to kill me?"

The other party's silence made him feel like he was singing a one-man show, which was as boring as a one-man show, so Kakine Teito stuck out his tongue in a mischievous manner, and opened his hands:

"I don't want to. If you really want to be a hero who saves others, stab me with that knife first."

To save someone, you must hurt someone else.

If you don't want to hurt someone, you have to give up another.

No matter what choice you make, it will lead to spiritual collapse.

It is undeniable that at this moment Kakine Teitoku felt the pleasure of revenge, and his chest was filled with viscous and hot emotions like melted butter.

I will destroy him in front of you.

So he laughed.

"please."

Accelerator, who had been silent since just now, suddenly raised his head, and whispered to someone present.

"So guys like you really—"

Mugino's left hand formed a knife-like shape, and before Kamijou Touma had time to react, he slashed at the back of his neck. The metal prosthetic leg accurately chopped at the position where the man's skull connected with the cervical spine, without even moaning in pain. Before it could be sent out, the surveillance officer in front of him had already fallen to the ground, and the switchblade was also thrown out of his hand.

"troublesome."

After finishing the remaining half of the sentence, Mai Ye picked up the murder weapon that fell to his feet, pushed the blade back into the handle, took a little aim, and threw it into the trash can: "Those guys in the first department, quickly put you It would be too embarrassing to put it here by the surveillance officer."

Kakine Teitoku's smile froze on his face, and he stared at Mugino away with hatred.

"Ha——" Fang Accelerator laughed when he saw his funny expression: "Did I disturb your sweet dreams?"

"Ah. Maybe that's right."

Kakine Teitoku slowly approached Accelerator, staring at that face that made him hate it to the bone.

He moved his legs to measure the distance, and then kicked Accelerator's head vigorously as if he was about to kick away an obstructing stone on the road.

There were disgusting sounds from his temples and neck at the same time, and before he could feel the pain, Accelerator's consciousness fell into the darkness.
