The other side of the perfect world

#14 Paradise

"There is still such a spacious space under the mortuary, there is definitely something abnormal about this hospital!"

Holding the gun in his right hand, Kouchi turned his head and said to Makishima while walking cautiously.

The space is very dark, only a broken light bulb is on and off, providing a negligible light source for the huge underground.The air is heavy, as if it is filled with concrete. After taking a breath, the nasal passages and lungs are blocked—death is approaching, and from the abnormal low temperature, one can feel that the further one moves forward, the closer one is to life. The farther the hope, the cold is the god who rules the underground world.

They are currently on the third basement floor of "Roppongi General Hospital"—

A floor that never existed on the drawings.

The time goes back to one hour, two and ten minutes ago——

"There used to be an air-raid shelter under that hospital."

After downloading the design drawings of "Roppongi General Hospital" to the mobile terminal, Kouchi continued: "When the war broke out 400 years ago, it was used as an air-raid shelter to accommodate a large number of refugees. After the Sibilla system created a new society, there It was abandoned, and the 'Roppongi General Hospital' was built on top of it later, and the underground part was used as a mortuary to store corpses, but..."

"is there a problem?"

Makishima approached Kouchi as he spoke, and after glancing at the hospital design drawings and information about the air-raid shelter, his lips parted slightly: "I see, that's what happened!"

"That's right, it's strange. The mortuary of this hospital only has two underground floors from the drawings, but the depth of the air-raid shelter is obviously much deeper than that."

"In other words, there is at least one floor underground, which is not marked on the drawings."

"That's right!"

Turn off the mobile terminal decisively, and put on the motorcycle helmet cunningly.

"If Kenji Kazama disappeared after going to the hospital to find Kiyoya Oda, then the underground of the 'non-existent' hospital is the most likely place to hide the corpse."

"The 'non-existent' underground...it's almost the same as the Sibyl system!"

Hearing this, the cunning face hidden behind the windshield twisted suddenly, and his sharp eyes pierced Makishima directly.

"What does it mean?"

"Heh... who knows!"

Makishima's golden pupils shone suspiciously, and the calm smile on his face fully demonstrated his evil intentions to Kou.

Questions, the more unanswered they are, the more they can arouse human curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and then become the source of interest.

"Remember? Before you killed me, I used the mobile terminal to tell you, 'The Sibyl system is not something worth your life to protect.'"

"Remember……"

Cunningly replied casually, pretending to be careless.In fact, for this sentence, he is more than just "remembering".For half a year, this sentence has been lingering in his ears, as if Makishima was whispering next to him, and at that time he thought he would never get the answer, because the man Makishima Shenghu was dead and killed by him .

Why did Teng disappear, why did the Public Security Bureau not allow him to hunt down Makishima, why did Makishima say that Kosaburo Fujima was dead in both body and brain, and... the director...

Too many questions were entangled in his heart, like a few ropes that could not be untied, tying his hands and feet.

"It won't help if you worry about it now. As long as you haven't given up being a policeman, you will know sooner or later."

"Sooner or later... I'm sorry, I'm not interested in puzzle games."

Spreading his hands, he turned around, only to hear Makishima behind him say leisurely: "'Underground', this should be regarded as a key word, whether it is the Sibilla system or this incident."

"Really, let's solve this incident first!"

Even though he has many doubts about the Sibyl system, right now, Kouchi only wants to catch Oda Kiyoya as soon as possible.

No matter how flawed the system is, letting criminals go free is the biggest threat to this society!

"Speaking of which, you really feel relieved to leave your back to me, aren't you afraid that I'll stab you in the back?"

Hearing this, Koujiu who had just stepped out turned his head, and the smile on the corner of Makishima's mouth was reflected on the windshield of his helmet, covering his eyes.

"Don't get me wrong! I just don't want you to walk in front of me. If you go ahead of me, I really don't know what you will do!"

"Is it……"

Makishima smiles, and whenever his smile makes people feel full of understanding and consideration for the other party.However, how many people can uncover the real face hidden under the smiling mask?

In this way, after confirming that the "non-existent" underground floor of "Roppongi General Hospital" was their target, Kou rode on a motorcycle and took Makishima to the destination——

After one hour, two and 10 minutes, they finally entered the third basement floor.

The smell of dirty water came head-on, irritating the fragile mucous membrane of the nasal cavity. However, at this moment, Snake had no time to care about how unpleasant the smell was. Compared with that, he smelled something deeper——

Danger.

Although Makishima was quite disgusted with this kind of dirty place, he didn't complain a single word, and always quietly followed behind Kouchi, walking towards the depth along the direction of the underground water flow.

After bypassing a huge pillar with a strange shape, they finally ushered in a space that could be called spacious.

It's just that this space is very dark, so dark that both Kou and Makishima can feel that there is something in front of them, but they just can't see it.

The darkness where you can't see your fingers is frightening.

With extremely light steps, like a feather falling to the ground, Sly is walking forward, walking towards the dark hinterland.

Suddenly, there was a light behind him——

"Makishima!"

Turning around quickly, Koujima grabbed Makishima's wrist and pulled him behind her——

The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the front, and there was nothing, except that the road they came from was brightened by the dim light, that's all.

Is it an illusion...

Just when Kouya was guarding against the crisis that might appear at any time, Makishima's voice sounded from behind.

"This is truly spectacular..."

Unexpectedly, there was a bit of surprise, a bit of disgust, and even a bit of contradiction in the elegant voice.

Kou is not sure, what exactly did Makishima see? !

After confirming that there was indeed no enemy ambushing in the dark on the way when he came, he turned back.

"--Varied--"

The eyes were as wide as the mouth, and the cunning cut off his breath almost in an instant.

The 28-year-old cunning Shinya has always been engaged in police work. He used to be a surveillance officer, and then downgraded to an executive officer. No matter what his title is, he is always No. 1 in front of the scene.

Therefore, he should have been numb psychologically, no, even if he is not numb, he has already adapted to crimes, he has seen too much, violence, blood, dead bodies... raped women, messed up organs, chopped up body...

However, those are far less than the impact brought to him by the things in front of him at this moment.

Far beyond imagination, this place is simply a museum——

An exhibition room for works of art created with human subjects.

Just seeing these, he thought that the prisoner must not simply advocate violence, because the aesthetics of violence will not exude a strong artistic atmosphere like these things in front of him.

This is the execution ground, the processing ground, and also the show ground.

It can be seen that the prisoners are full of strong love for processing human flesh and organs.No, not all humans, but a certain few.

The prisoner loved them, so they were preserved in this form, in this... twisted and sickly processed form.

In the end, it was really hit by Makishima!

Cunningly smacked his lips, his overwhelmed stomach twitched uncontrollably.Looking sideways at Makishima beside him, he wasn't sure whether Makishima would praise or be disappointed with this "work of art".

"I've always thought of myself as an ordinary person, so I won't be sick to this extent."

Jin Tong stared devoutly at the wreckage that had been processed and no longer possessed the characteristics of "human". Makishima responded to the probing gaze with a calm voice.

He doesn't appreciate the prisoner's creation, he just finds it very interesting.

Every human quality itself would arouse his interest, but that interest soon faded after he figured out the reason, and finally turned into boredom.If there is anyone who can keep his interest going, then only Qiao Shenya by his side.

"That's... Kazama... Kenji?!"

The hateful eyes fell on the most conspicuous "exhibit" placed in the middle, and the cunning gritted his teeth hard, and the gnashing sound of the teeth was as loud as an explosion in the too quiet space.

This "exhibit" reminded him of Sasayama Mitsuru!

The lustful, impulsive and straightforward former partner, that night, was also made into a display like this.

Fist, clenched.

The blood seemed to flow back into the brain all of a sudden, the angry tongue licked his heart, and his body was burning.

His eyes couldn't help blaming Makishima, even though the latter didn't care about it at all.

"It seems that Kenji Kazama, Akira Wanojima, Tetsu Ito, and Seijuro Sano have all been cut off as decorations for this place!"

Makishima spoke methodically, watching Koujima's reaction with a pair of seductive golden eyes.

"It's the same as back then...plastination..."

"you!"

Grabbing Makishima's collar, Kouchi wished to immediately punch this overly upright face to disfigurement.

Without explaining, let alone denying, Makishima knew that even if Kouya saw these "specimens" on another planet, he would think it was a good thing he did.Just when he thought it was funny, Jin Tong suddenly caught a figure.

"Get down!"

boom!

While the body was being pushed down, gunshots shook the entire ground.

thump--

The spine was the first to touch the ground, and Qiao Niu squeezed his eyes in pain. The unnatural weight on his chest made his heart beat faster.

The pupils of the eyes are slightly downward, meeting Makishima's line of sight unexpectedly.

For some reason, Qiao Zhe had the illusion that he had chewed the peppercorns, and felt uncomfortable all over.

He was... rescued by Makishima...

Standing up, there were traces of bullet casings scratching the ground at his feet, and the traces were quite clear.

"It's a shotgun."

Makishima said without changing his face, even if he was shot, his lips carved into the shape of a smile showed no trace of fear.

After narrowly escaping from death, Cunning Nie couldn't help becoming alert, like a hedgehog encountering a natural enemy, erecting its thorns all over its body.

"Although you saved me, don't expect me to thank you."

"Hehe, I'll take the stare you just gave me as a thank you."

"You bastard, are you shaking M!"

"Maybe……"

Makishima said jokingly while withdrawing his eyes, now is not the time to chat with Yuya Kouya - their common enemy has appeared!

"You bastards! How dare you break into my paradise!"

click, click...

The sound of heavy soles hitting the ground came from the darkness. Gradually, a figure moved from far to near, and the blurred outline finally became clear under the clear gaze of Kou and Makishima.

"Oda Kiyoya..."

After seeing the man in a white coat holding a shotgun, Sly whispered something.

"Hey, no matter what, that guy was your attending physician, so he should be called a 'doctor' anyway?"

Oda Kiyoya yelled loudly with his usual ferocious smile on his face.

"In this way, you are the doctor's second personality."

After listening to Makishima's words, Oda Kiyoya burst out laughing.

"That's right! We met for the first time, and I'm the only savior for that guy, kwon. Ah, that's not the first time we met over there, Mr. Mizushima... No, it should be... Mr. Shinya Kochi."

His heart tightened for a moment, Kouya didn't expect that Oda Kiyoshi would also know his real name.

"My name...was that guy named 'Teacher' told you!"

It's not a question, and the cunning is almost sure of this conclusion.

Who is that "teacher"?

"'Teacher' is great, without him, I might not be able to get out in this life! Let alone control this body, ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..."

Oda Kiyoya's other personality - kwon laughed loudly, and the laughter was like a hot air balloon blowing up, filling the entire space.

"Speaking of which, when I was at home today, I wanted to kill you. A man like you must make a very beautiful voice when his wrists and ankles are cut off, right? Haha... But that idiot actually stopped me! He seems to like you very much, hahaha...Speaking of which, are you really gay? The man you really want is probably..."

The elongated muzzle of the gun suddenly pointed at Makishima, and at the same time when Kouchi realized this, he yelled "Be careful!"

With a bang, the gun went off!

"Makishima—"

The arm was bleeding, and the warm blood poked out from the thick sleeve of the coat along the slender track, licked the back of the hand and fingers, tick-tock, and kissed the dirty ground.

"Hey, are you alright!"

Holding Makishima's shoulders, he stared cunningly.

"It's okay, it's just a scratch, I'm not that weak."

After wiping the blood on his arm, Makishima's golden pupils gradually condensed the frost of murderous intent.

boom!boom!

The gunshots rang out again, and Koujima and Makishima fled one after another, and they separated without saying a word.

Kouchi rolled on the ground and hid behind the weird-shaped pillar; while Makishima used the sculpture made of Kazama Kenji's head as a shield.

The bullets from the shotgun came swiftly and explosively!

"Kittens, now is not the time to play hide and seek!"

Kwon, who quickly changed the bullets for the shotgun, grinned like a manic patient.

On the other side, the cunning behind the pillar raised his hand holding the gun, and gave Makishima a wink.

Understanding, Makishima suddenly stood up——

boom!

The bullet hit the head of the sculpture named "Kenji Kazama" and blew it into a hornet's nest!

"Ah! My work of art! Bastard!"

Kwon stomped his feet angrily, and shot Makishima who was fleeing one after another.In an instant, the underground air-raid shelter was filled with gunfire!

Makishima, on the other hand, is like a flexible snake, wandering among various "art display cabinets".

Kwon has a strong attachment and love for these works of art, so Makishima judged that as long as he gets close to them, the accuracy of kwon's shooting will be reduced.

Facts have proved that kwon's psychological quality did not disappoint Makishima.

The powerful bullets rushed out of the trajectory one after another, but missed the target again and again——

Makishima Seigo is still alive and well.

Since the space of the "exhibition room" is not large, and the only place where the target can hide is the "artwork" made of human parts in front, so there is no need for kwon to walk, as long as he stands in place and moves the muzzle back and forth in a fan shape. enough.

Therefore, he changed from a moving object to a non-moving object—and this is exactly what the cunning needs!

Snapped!

"what--"

The leg was hit, blood flowed out like broken eggs, kwon leaned, at this moment, Qiao Niu rushed out and punched kwon's head.

when!

The shotgun fell to the ground, and Makishima kicked it far away with another kick in time.

Without a weapon, kwon can only rely on hand-to-hand combat, and it is one-on-two.However, even if he does not have the upper hand, kwon's strength should not be underestimated, and the cunning who fought against him knows it best.

This guy is very strong...

The jaw was firmly punched, and the cunning spit out a mouthful of saliva immediately.The hateful fist hit his abdomen again, he stepped hard, barely dodged the blow, and took advantage of the opportunity to dodge to kick kwon in the chest.

"Well!"

Covering his chest with his hands, kwon hadn't recovered from the excessive pain when he suddenly suffered a heavy blow on the back of his neck—it was Makishima who hit the protruding bone of the cervical spine with his clasped hands.With a plop, kwon fell to his knees!

"Ah...ah..."

Kwon, who lost his eyesight and vomited a lot of blood and saliva, seemed to have fallen into a coma.

He let out a breath, and rubbed his chin that was bruised, the coat he was wearing was already messed up.

"Really, even wolves don't ruin their image like you when they prey..."

Hearing what Makishima said, Kouya was about to refute, when the skirt of his clothes was pulled suddenly.What happened next was so unbelievable that a rare look of surprise appeared on his face - because Makishima was actually helping him tidy up his clothes, and he took great pleasure in tidying up his clothes.This kind of intimacy that was hard to imagine between the two of them actually happened in reality.

"What are you doing..."

His face was inexplicably hot, and Qiao Nian couldn't help turning his face away.

"It's nothing."

After tidying up, Makishima let go of his hand, his eyes turned into crescent moons, "I'm just playing tricks on you."

"I told you..."

Suddenly, a groan interrupted Qiao Yao's words. Looking down, Kwon, who was beaten to a half, had already woken up, but he was like a patient suffering from epilepsy, his whole body twitched. After a while, the twisted face gradually relaxed. .

"Kin...Kin...two...Kin two..."

The trembling voice came out from between the purple lips, not only because of weakness, but also because the owner of the body has changed.

"This guy...is Oda Kiyoya."

Kouchi judged so, and Makishima beside him nodded in agreement.

"Kenji...Kenji..."

Oda Kiyoya raised his hand slowly, the sticky blood turned that hand into a pool of dazzling red.The direction the red points to is the head of Kenji Kazama who has turned into a hornet's nest.

"It's my... fault... it's me..."

The voice was choking, and there was a crystal liquid slipping from the corner of the eye, this trajectory was very painful - Kouya was sure that Oda Kiyoshi would also cry, not because of physical pain.

"If I, if I... could be more... more frank... myself, accept this, my own words...you...you wouldn't..."

Compassion and remorse are crushed in the eyes, Oda Kiyoya, in fact, has been guilty all the time - Makishima, who has read Oda Kiyoya's diary, and Kou, who has heard the contents of the diary, have no doubts about this.

This man is very pitiful...

"Ah...ah... Ken, Kenji...forgive...I...I...I have always...always...loved..."

The fingers stretched out to the limit with all their strength seemed to really reach "Kenji Kazama". The two souls who were forced to separate due to various reasons are now about to merge into one. However, at this moment, in the darkness, , lit up with an unnatural light.

"Crime coefficient, OVER700, execution mode lethaleliminator, please aim carefully and eliminate the target."

BANG—a blue light shoots out—
