The other side of the perfect world

#22 Killing indiscriminately

"Or it was artificially made into a sin-free physique."

Makishima immediately offered a more realistic possibility to Konoha's hypothesis.It is much more convenient to "artificial exoneration" than to have such a low probability of hitting one person with an exoneration physique among about two million people.Although it is unimaginable enough, that "teacher" is not impossible, which has been verified by him and Kouya through the case of Oda Kiyoya.

"That's why you think this incident is also related to that 'teacher'?"

"Ok!"

Nodding, Makishima replied casually: "After all, those two concert tickets are also gifts from that 'teacher'."

"what?!"

After pressing his ears, the loud voice of Sneaky made him seem to have intermittent tinnitus.

"Anyway, it's free, so it's okay to accept it as someone else's kindness, isn't it?"

"kindness?"

Cunningly shrugged his shoulders and smiled coldly, he slammed his clenched fist on the table, shaking the innocent quilt by the stove.

"I almost committed suicide because of that guy's 'kindness'!"

"Will not."

At the same time as the voice fell, Makishima's voice sounded leisurely, like the bell of the Catholic Cathedral at the end of the century, conveying the divine will.

"You, cunning Shenya, will not commit suicide."

"..."

Silently looking at Makishima, even Koujima himself wasn't sure what would happen to him if Makishima didn't wake him up in time.However, Makishima made a declaration so decisively.

Is this guy... trying to say he knows me better than I do?

"Hmph, why are you so sure I won't die? Didn't you almost kill me back then?"

As if he heard a funny joke or read a very interesting text, Makishima slightly parted his lips, and his pure smile without impurities told him that he was in a good mood at the moment.

"It was precisely because I couldn't kill you back then that I asserted that you would not commit suicide."

"This is really quite a confident statement!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hallucinations he saw when he was hypnotized suddenly surged up from the depths of his mind, Qiao Niu felt sick, he couldn't help opening his mouth wide and took a deep breath, and slammed one hand on the edge of the table to support his shaking body.

"It's okay, even if you will be troubled by hallucinations, it's just that you are too emotional."

Leaning his eyes, Makishima glanced at the cunning face so tense that it can be described as ferocious, and murmured as if talking to himself——

"I worry about your nature, which is full of too much human milk."

"Hey, isn't this a line from "Macbeth"? Are you testing my knowledge of literature?"

Rubbing his forehead, biting his tongue cunningly.The phantoms that washed over the brain like a rising tide gradually subsided like an ebbing tide, and his emotions were rarely calmed down. He continued: "In the end, didn't the six people who listened to "Double Helix" commit suicide?"

With his hands gracefully crossed together against his chin, Makishima looks like a scholar full of knowledge, and there is always an impenetrable mystery in his smile.

"It should be said...among so many people who have listened to "Double Helix", only six of them committed suicide."

"You mean..."

"That's right! This incident is indeed an indiscriminate killing. That's because the effect that "Double Helix" can achieve is only indiscriminate killing."

As he said that, Makishima reached out and took the half-full glass of milk that Kouya hadn't finished drinking in front of him, and poured part of the milk into his mug, and didn't stop until the mug was almost completely filled with milk.

"Let's assume that this almost full glass of milk is the level at which a person wants to commit suicide..."

Without interruption, Koujima quietly listened to Makishima's analysis like a churchgoer, and thought quickly.

"Human beings, depending on the problems encountered in personal life, work and emotions, there are always one or two who are on the verge of suicide. This is why the suicide rate in this country is still increasing even in this era. The reason. Stress, panic, anxiety, hypocrisy, desire, anger... the results of all kinds of emotions that are difficult to vent, either want to kill someone or want to commit suicide. Just imagine, every concert of Haru Hasegawa will have at least Tens of thousands of people came to participate. It is not difficult to find one or two people who are on the verge of suicide among the tens of thousands of people. However, how to break through this limit is the key point. Therefore, Hasegawa Haru did such a thing..."

The hand holding the cup raised, and poured the remaining milk from the cup into the already full mug——

The milk is spilled!

"Add some motivation and courage to the pre-saved suicidal consciousness, this is the hypnosis of "Double Helix"."

"..."

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, Qiao Nie secretly murmured "I see" in his heart.

"Hypnosis is fundamentally exploiting a loophole in human psychology, and achieves its own purpose through some kind of 'hypnotic instructions'. Moreover, the first level of hypnosis is the function of the brain nervous system, and the second level It is the acceptance of personal psychological activities. From this point of view, the more sensitive the person, the easier it is to be hypnotized, so you will be affected by the 'hypnotic instructions'."

"But...you think I won't commit suicide?"

"That's right, because the biggest task of the human subconscious mind is self-protection. Once it involves behavior that endangers the body, the subconscious mind will play a role to ensure the safety of this person."

"Like white blood cells that kill viruses?"

"Well...it's almost the same thing! So, a guy with rich and sensitive feelings like you won't commit suicide, but not everyone can escape, especially those who have suicidal tendencies in the first place. people."

"So...the ones who really committed suicide were those six people..."

Unconsciously muttering something, Kouchi immediately stood up and moved the laptop to the kotatsu.Soon, the relevant information of those six people was investigated. Although it was not very detailed, some clues about the reason for their suicide could still be seen through some gossip.

For example, Reiko Yamada, although her friend’s testimony indicated that she was a cheerful person, but photos taken by paparazzi and gossip from netizens pointed out that her husband, the president of the Zeus Group, had frequent affairs.

If the facts are as Makishima said, then these six people died under Hasegawa Haru's hypnotism.

However, he lacks conclusive evidence for this, and there is another problem...

"Why, Haru Hasegawa wants to do this?"

Makishima, who was wiping the table with a sackcloth, turned his head when he heard the muffled murmur.

"It's just that killing people is fun, can't that be a reason?"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian, who was buried in front of the computer screen, immediately raised his head and glared at Makishima.

"It's not you, and even you didn't kill people for no reason, right? There must be some motive...motivation...wait a minute!"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning split into the brain, and the fingers typing on the keyboard froze.

Noticing that the cunning had made a new discovery, Makishima tidied up the table, rested his chin on one hand, and under the silver-white bangs slightly tilted to one side, a pair of golden pupils were looking at the person who was looking at him with interest. man.In the next second, words like this came out from the man's opened lips——

"Makishima, this incident is not purely indiscriminate killing."

"What does it mean?"

A slightly lower voice than usual was asking, and Makishima was more interested in this beast than the conclusion itself, which could always find a breakthrough with its keen sense of smell.

Like a hunting eagle aiming at the fish in the sea, its cunning eyes changed, becoming sharper and more determined.The pupils of the eyes that are watching the truth all the time are pitch black, perhaps because they are too close to the darkness, they are stained with this thick and insoluble——

The color of the abyss.

"In terms of killing people, Hasegawa Haru has always had a clear goal."

"Oh? Didn't you say that those six people have nothing in common with each other?"

"There really isn't anything in common at first glance, but..."

Hearing the turning point, the smile on the face full of strong interest deepened, and Makishima couldn't help repeating: "But...?"

"Actually, what they have in common is so obvious that you don't even bother to investigate..."

As he said that, Kou tapped the screen of the laptop with his hand, and the official website of Haru Hasegawa FANCLUB was displayed on it.

"They are all fans of Haru Hasegawa!"

"fan……"

Looking back and forth a few times between the screen and the cunning face, Makishima said doubtfully, "Isn't it because fans are the easiest to hypnotize?"

"no!"

The resolute tone shows that Qiao Yao has unshakable confidence in his conclusions.

"I checked, Hasegawa Haru's "Double Helix" is not sold as a CD, and he has not played this piece in any occasion except his own personal concert, that is to say, not everyone can If you buy this CD casually and play it on the street, then the only people who can hear this song are the real fans of Hasegawa Haru who have paid a lot of money to buy concert tickets and have FANCLUB certification."

"That is to say... it is the group of people who really love him that he wants to kill?"

A cold smile condensed on his face, and Makishima's slightly lowered gaze contained too many inexplicable meanings.

"This is really a motivation to make people laugh!"

"It's true that it doesn't make sense in theory, but it must be true, Hasegawa Haru, who wants to use hypnosis to kill his FANCLUB fans."

The five strong fingers gradually began to punch. In the view of the cunning, if Haru Hasegawa was allowed to continue playing "Double Helix" like this, there would definitely be new victims.

Criminals that the Dominator can't deal with - that's when his pistol comes in handy.

"If you are pointed at by the Dominator in your current state, maybe the eliminator mode will be activated!"

Said terrible words in a joking tone, Makishima can be said to be very clear about Koujiu's thoughts - the killing intent is the key to this man's attraction to him!

This man has been implementing his own justice in his own way all his life, even if his hands are stained with blood, he will lick it off again and again, and then accept the defilement again and again.Never regretting right or wrong, never hesitating about goals, and never afraid of the future—he is the most human-like human being in this world that has been brainwashed by the system.

He likes such human beings, no, it should be said, he loves such human beings.

"Whether it's an eliminator or a paralyzer, as long as I have the helmet you invented, and you, the Dominator will have nothing to do with me, even if I'm the actual criminal."

As Qiao Niu said, he quickly took out the pistol that never left his body from his waist——

He wouldn't mind taking another life with this gun if necessary.

"Since you bit off your collar, you've been speaking less and less like a police officer! And..."

The understatement was not finished, and Makishima stretched out his hand to touch the cunning gun, and his white fingertips moved slowly along the gun body, as if a silk handkerchief was carefully wiping away the dirt left on it.

The gun that once took his life was as cold as ever, but his blood was still hot.

The hard metal texture inexplicably reminded him of the heart of a man who shot him cruelly——

In an instant, the calm face was sad.

"You never thought that I might leave you one day?"

"..."

Withdrawing the gun from Makishima's hand and stuffing it back into its original position, Qiao Nian said indifferently: "A dangerous guy like you, I can't bear to let you go."

"... Are you reluctant?"

This statement hit Makishima's bull's-eye like an arrow of joy.It's like being fed a fruit candy, which is sweet from the root of the tongue to the corner of the mouth.

Seeing that Makishima's face softened a lot, Kou couldn't help but smile wryly.

"I said, are you such an emotional person?"

"Humans are inherently emotional creatures, or do you want to say that I am not human?"

"If you are not a human being, then I, who killed you, am not a human being either?"

A magnanimous smile bloomed on Qiao Yao's face, this smile was like Qiao Yao himself, it was a clear straight line, no matter which direction it extended, it was straight forward.Even if you have doubts and confusion, as long as you walk with this straight faith, you will find the answer sooner or later——

Makishima didn't want this straight line to be cut.

What if, one day, he would also be the one to cut this straight line with his own hands!

Therefore, whether it is Oda Kiyoshi, Hasegawa Haru, or that mysterious "teacher"...everything that hinders him from enjoying fun and protecting his faith is worth destroying.

"The way you are now, if you don't have the immunity constitution, I'm afraid you will be disposed of by the eliminator!"

The snarling sound got Makishima's attention back.

"I'm racking my brains to help you find a way..."

"I'm so touched by your hard work!"

"Is the way you are moved just to mock me?"

Being pointed out sharply by Makishima, he smiled cunningly, noncommittal.His hands moved again, and while investigating Hasegawa Haru's relevant information, he said to himself: "Speaking of which, why does an idol go to great lengths to destroy the soil on which he lives?"

With the same question in mind, he tilted his body close to the cunning Makishima, staring at the screen silently, and the opened and closed webpages were quickly filtered through the golden pupils, and then...

"Wait a moment."

"Ok?"

Sly turned his head, and at the same moment, Makishima also turned his face sideways, his eyes met, and the tip of their noses touched.
