The other side of the perfect world

#30 True and False

"You actually said...it was Makishima Shrine?"

The voice became hoarse in the shock, and Kou couldn't help turning his head to look at Makishima, and then turned his head to look at another Makishima——

exactly the same.

Finally realizing that the man who called himself "Makishima Seigo" did not seem to be as simple as Makishima, his heart was beating violently.

"Heh, this one over here...is not our first meeting!"

Tilting his head, a smile calmly bloomed on the man's face, like a piranha good at disguising, swallowing the surprise in Sly's sight in one gulp.

"Who are you... exactly?!"

"Ok?"

With a question, the man looked at the cunning eyes, as if a kind teacher was looking at a student who was at a loss. The incredible tolerance was exactly the same as that of Makishima.

"I've already said, I'm Makishima Shrine."

"you're lying!"

As if being slapped by the cunning roar, the man frowned slightly.

"Lying...? Speaking of which, I'm curious, why do you think that the man with you is Makishima Shrine? And why do you think that I am Makishima Shoutou is a lie? "

Pointing at Makishima with his hands in his coat pockets with his sharp fingertips in an elegant pose like a model, the man questioned Koujima.

"I……"

The tongue was stiff, and for a while, Qiao Niu found that he couldn't answer.This simple and easy-to-understand question undoubtedly stumped him!

"Hehe, hehehehehe..."

Seeing such an honest reaction from Kouya, the man smiled happily, and gave Makishima a defiant look with his brilliant golden pupils.

"Why, just based on this guy's appearance, can we be sure that he is the real Makishima Shrine?"

"..."

Appearance—Originally, this is indeed the criterion for judging a person. However, with two identical Makishima standing in front of him, Kouya really can't make a decision based on appearance alone.

His brain was confused, and his subconscious mind diligently searched for everything about Makishima in the memory bank. Those vivid tragedies, one after another, all beat his nerves.

At this moment, the voice woven with laughter came again.

"I induced Kanehara Yuji to manipulate the robot, provided Mido Masago with the technology to let him act as a popular virtual character on the Internet, supported Wangling Rihuako to kill the students of Sakurasho Academy, and finally abandoned her, and let you and Izumiya Toyoto Jiu hunted each other in the underground game field, cut Yuki Funahara's neck with a razor, and made motorcycle helmets with Cui Qiucheng to cause turmoil... Ah yes, there is also the "specimen incident"... How? Those who have this information Are you sure I'm not the real Makishima Shrine?"

"Varied--"

The surroundings of the black pupil seemed to be drawn repeatedly by an invisible paintbrush several times, and it became bigger.

For the first time, doubts about Makishima appeared on Koujima's face.If it is said that the two men standing in front of him even have the same memory, then what is the meaning of the so-called authenticity?

The crescent-shaped lips were painted with sarcasm, but this subconscious expression was not captured by the tangled pupils of the cunning, but it was clearly seen by Makishima.

This guy... has a really bad personality...

Makishima, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. Although he didn't care about the provocation of a counterfeit, it was a matter of cunning, and he couldn't just sit idly by—

"Hey, Qiao Yao, from now on, can you find someone to replace me?"

"No, I don't want a second time."

At that time, Qiao Niu promised him this before shooting him dead.Therefore, he cannot forgive anyone who wants to replace him.

"Enough is enough, I am the only one who can bully him."

The calm voice cut through the stagnant air.Don't look at Makishima didn't use any command type, even the tone of voice is gentle like a straight line, however, the sense of oppression is unprecedentedly strong.

"Heh, don't you doubt it a little bit!"

"Doubt what?"

"My identity..."

Suddenly, the man drew closer to Makishima, and the two faces carved out of the same mold seemed to be stuck together.

"There's nothing to doubt, is there?"

"Is that so? But he... doesn't seem to think so!"

Knowing well that the "he" in the man's mouth refers to Qiao Yao, Makishima turned his head, and happened to meet Qiao Yao's eyes unexpectedly.

"He knows who I am better than anyone else... and he also knows that there will be no one who can replace me in the future."

Laughing, thickened as the voice faded away.Makishima was looking at Koujima, and Koujima was also looking at Makishima. At this moment, the two of them blocked the man who was in the way from their world.

I see……

The turbulent heart stopped shaking——

Kou admits that he has doubts about Makishima's identity. As an ordinary person, he can't be as omnipotent as a god.However, the moment their eyes met, just for a moment, the shadow of doubt was completely swept away.

Sometimes, trust is just so unreasonable.

"I remember saying 'I don't want a second time'."

She stretched out her hand to grab Makishima, and Kou pulled him away from the man to her side.The five fingers clasping the wrist are hot and full of strength.

"It turned out to be the second time... because you didn't die..."

With some indescribable grievances, this voice made Makishima laugh.

"You should thank me for making your life less boring."

"This is my line!"

Taking the increasingly ugly man's face as air, Koujima and Makishima chatted tacitly.

"Hmph! You two are really hated!"

"Let's be each other!"

Restraining his smile, Makishima looked at the man with a cold gaze, and said: "You made that kind of medicine that would cause side effects, which indirectly killed Oda Kiyoya and Hasegawawa, and just now you used "Double Helix "Hypnotized Hasegawa Haru to commit suicide, don't you attract less hatred?"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing this, the man shrugged his shoulders, and even this movement was exactly the same as Makishima.

"To be precise, the song just now is not "Double Helix", but an improved version of "Double Helix"...I saved you all!"

"Thank you so much!"

He said thanks, but his murderous face sent another signal to the man——

He needs a gun now!

"I know that sooner or later you will find Hasegawa Haru, that man has reached his limit. And... I think this guy should tell you about me. If that's the case, why don't I come to see you in person... ...Makishima Shrine, I..."

"you hate me!"

Taking the first step, Makishima didn't give the man a chance to continue, and took the words directly.

"Although you want to say that you like me, you can't lie to me...you hate me very much."

"..."

The half-opened lips were closed, and the eyes of hatred cut Makishima hard, as if wishing to chop Makishima into meat sauce.

"Did you...do anything bad to him?"

Aware of the unusual resentment in the man's eyes, Kou couldn't help whispering in Makishima's ear.

"How come... I only do bad things to you alone."

Makishima replied with an understatement.

It's late at night, it's already past twelve o'clock in the morning, and now it's a new day, however, the sky is still dark, as if the moment of dawn will never be greeted.

"Okay...let me introduce myself again."

The man who had been silent for a long while finally spoke again, and patted his chest with a beautifully shaped hand.

"I'm 'Teacher', I don't have a name, and my identity is...the clone of Makishima Shōgo."

"M-chan, what have you been researching since just now? Haven't you finished yet?"

In the house full of computer elements, Gao Yuming was still the same, thinking about the air.

And the man in the air was holding a lighter and lit a stack of papers full of black tadpoles.

"Wow, you dare to burn things in my house... The young people nowadays are really, they are becoming more and more unruly... Stop it, how will you pay me if your computer burns?"

"Heh...Ming, although I look young, I am much older than you!"

"Who cares if you are old or not? Speaking of which, why did you burn this thing? Isn't this the piano score passed to you by a friend of Mr. Zahe?"

"Ok!"

Even though he was still wearing his hat askew at home, the man Gao Yuming called "M" smiled slightly.

"Because the above 'hypnosis instructions' have been unlocked, and the person who wrote these 'hypnosis instructions' is probably no longer around."

"What... I don't understand, I don't understand... Do you want to eat supper? Last time you made dinner and you didn't come back, and you said to see old friends... Why are old friends more important than me?"

Pouting his mouth, Gao Yuming is still acting like a child to M even though he is already old.

"Ming, it's 01:30 in the morning. How can you have supper at this time? You live too unhealthy."

"Health? Haha, what era are you from!"

Coming to M and deliberately lowering his hat, Gao Yuming smiled and said, "In this society, as long as you don't offend the Sibyl system, you are a healthy and good person!"

The head was being played with as a toy, but M was not angry.

"Ming, do you...hate Sibylah?"

"Nonsense! Don't you like it?"

When asked rhetorically, M was silent, neither because he didn't want to say nor because he was difficult to answer, but simply thinking.

For the Sibyl system, his feelings are as complex as the system itself, which is indescribable. How can it be explained by liking or disliking it?

"Sybyl...isn't healthy enough now, do you want it to continue to evolve? Or, just destroy it?"

"Huh? Are you kidding me? What evolution? If that monster continues to evolve, I will definitely be buried in the ground early. Just destroy it! Destroy it!"

"Don't you like computers?"

"Yes!"

Seeing Gao Yuming nodding his head very vigorously, M was a little confused.

"Then why do you hate the system so much?"

"It's because I like computers..."

After patting on M's hat, Gao Yuming raised the corners of his mouth.

"I, what I like is the feeling of controlling a computer, rather than being manipulated by a computer... What is that Sibilla, a mere computer wants to rule all mankind, cut..."

"if……"

Suddenly, there was a subtle change in M's voice, and Gao Yuming, who heard the change, tilted his neck.

"I mean if...the Sibyl system is not pure artificial intelligence, but has human consciousness involved..."

"That would be even worse!"

Before M finished speaking, Gao Yuming grabbed the words: "Isn't Sibilla's claim to be absolute fairness without the participation of human consciousness? If not, then the system that determines a person's fate through the 'PSYCHO-PASS', isn't it? To deceive people with a big lie?"

"..."

In the room, the sound generated by the operation of various computer hardware can be heard, which is similar to a low-frequency noise, which can only be so clear in an extremely quiet environment.

"...That's right!"

Suddenly, M smiled, and on the face covered by the brim of the hat, only the lips curled up could be seen.

"Don't say these things are gone, eat supper quickly!"

While talking, Gao Yuming rubbed his stomach and walked to the kitchen.

The smile froze, and after a while, M raised his head, and the very common black eyes suddenly changed color——

It was a dreamy blue—yes, the blue that Dominators emit when they execute their punishment.

"The race between evolution and destruction has begun."

On the roof top of the dome in the new century, the cunning brain is being severely whipped by the truth.

"Clone...are you kidding me..."

"It's not a joke..."

It was Makishima himself who answered instead of the clone.Like a fortune teller who foresees the future early, there is no surprise on his face.

"He is really my clone."

"How are you sure?"

"Because it's my clone, I can be sure."

The answer, which sounded a bit outrageous at first, was actually very convincing. He opened his mouth cunningly, and couldn't organize words to refute after searching his stomach.

"As expected of Makishima Saint Guardian, I'm not surprised... Well, tonight, even if I formally greet you, the interesting ceremony will begin soon, so please don't miss it!"

"Festival... what do you want to do?"

"You will know when the time comes, men who are too impatient will be hated."

With the same teasing tone as Makishima, Kouchi wanted to cover his ears with his hands, so as not to be confused by this familiarity.

"If you want to destroy Sibilla too, I will kill you too!"

"Heh... a guy who doesn't even know the true face of the Sibyl system, why should he risk his life to protect it?"

"..."

Unconsciously, the cunning fell silent.It seemed that among the three of them, he was the only one who didn't know the truth about the Sibyl system.

"Underground of NonaTower... Next time you go on a date with someone close to you, you can try going there... There, it's very suitable for spending adult time!"

After finishing speaking, Krone Makishima turned around, and when he was about to disappear into the darkness, he suddenly turned his head back——

That side face is dotted with a smile.

"By the way, Mr. Sly Shinya, if you want to kill me, remember to use a real gun, because... I am also a person with the physique of immunity."

The outline of the moon faded, but the outline of the sun was not clear.There is always a moment in the day when the sun and the moon rule the sky together. However, if humans want to see them side by side, they must push through the heavy clouds.

Light is not so easy to illuminate the earth.

"Let's go back……"

This sentence often comes out of the mouth of the cunning, this time, it was Makishima who said it first.After closing his eyes for a moment, he took a deep breath, and the icy airflow froze from the trachea to the lungs.In the next second, his cheeks were suddenly lifted up.

"Ok?"

"You're okay?"

The cunning face was very close to him, but his eyes were deeply seduced by the unattractive facial features.

Shaking his head slightly, he suddenly stepped forward, and unexpectedly pecked a kiss on the half-opened lips——

Sly lips were hotter than his, and as soft as his.

"I'm fine...but there's a problem I can't figure out..."

A torrent of lust rose from the bottom of the deep black pupils, and his expression was shaken by a kiss, making him feel that there must be something wrong with him.

"what is the problem?"

"Why do we both have the same height, but you look taller than me?"

"Probably... a hairstyle or... a shoe problem?"

"Ah……"

Cunning's serious answer made Makishima laugh, and his gloomy mood suddenly brightened.

"Go back, I'm hungry."

Like a stream of kindness, Qiao Nian took a step forward, wrapping his arms around Makishima's back naturally.

Two slender bodies, one black and one white, reflect the misty sky behind their backs.

The clouds dispersed, the sun and the moon shine together, and the belated dawn is dyed with fresh colors.Living under the eyes of the Sibyl system, the whole city, everything is as usual.

"Then, let's buy this new medicine!"

In a 24-hour chain drugstore, the clerk handed over a small white bottle with a label to the customer.

In the hospital, the patient's prescription was sent out from the self-service medicine collection window, and an unremarkable small white bottle was mixed in and stuffed into the patient's purse together with other medicines.

"Ah!"

A certain little boy who lived in a certain house sneezed loudly.

"Jian, you should take your medicine."

A mother took out a small white bottle from a drawer, poured two capsules into the bottle cap, and handed it over.
