"No Unauthorized Entry"

Finally, someplace that has that "home of a serial killer" atmosphere.

His victims included a pro wrestler and a martial artist.

It makes you wonder whether he really defeated them one-on-one.

This "Challenger"... Denshin Katsuyama.

If the fights had been normal matches, sure.

But fairly few can react right away when they realize someone's trying to kill them.

Besides...

The Challenger didn't exactly prize fair fights.

Narihisago's daughter.

It was one-sided and barbaric.

Not only had he brutally lost his only daughter,

his wife had also committed suicide.

Damned Narihisago.

He really did unload the moment he walked in.

This is Matsuoka. Cognition particles gleaned from the scene.

They're Narihisago's.

Confirmed.

I know the building was locked down,

but even three years later the readings are massive.

That's one hell of a drive to kill.

There's a stairway hidden behind the curtain.

Take it to the underground level.

The hidden mics and cameras from Fukuda's home.

Any progress?

They're checking the access logs.

It involves multiple foreign servers,

so progress seems stalled.

Turning the power on.

So this is the Challenger's arena.

Sorry. It was an accident.

Got the Challenger's particles, too.

Confirmed.

Is Narihisago doing these?

No, I'll have Hondomachi do it.

Her?

So soon?

Yes. With the precedent Fukuda set, we need to see whether she can perform.

Well, true.

I guarantee she's capable.

She's not simply an excellent investigator.

She's something else.

Momoki.

About Hondomachi.

Take care of her.

Of course.

Bye.

That's the situation, Hondomachi.

Do your stuff.

I'll do my best.

As predicted, the figure of John Walker appeared within the Challenger's well.

By all appearances, John Walker set his sights on Haruka Kazuta and Nahoshi Inami

and the man who shot him, then-officer Akihito Narihisago.

But Narihisago shot the Challenger immediately at the door, right?

Doesn't that rule out John Walker influencing Narihisago's crime?

There's a chance John Walker had already set his sights on Akihito Narihisago

when Muku Narihisago fell victim to the Challenger.

I see.

Still, that would mean that John Walker not only turned Narihisago into a serial killer,

but also created the serial killer that murdered his daughter.

We don't know for sure.

We'll have to take a look at Narihisago's id well.

Let's see this through.

So many...

I have to get out of here, too!

I know this dead girl's name.

This is Kaeru.

And so I remember who I am.

My name is Miyo Hijiriido...

...the brilliant detective.

Why is she the only one with a full name?

All right. Proceed as normal.

Togo, take general analysis. Kokufu, assist Togo.

Shiratake, ascertain periods and locations. Habutae, analyze the people.

Wakashika...

...you're on mystery duty with the brilliant detective.

Director?

Sorry.

I just...

It's Narihisago's wife and daughter, isn't it?

Yeah.

Seriously? Men and women in the same cell block?

I recommend you file a grievance, young lady.

This was at my request.

How did you get that hole?

How do you think?

Someone did that to you?

I did it myself.

Yourself?

It's possible to do that without dying?

Most people do die.

I just got lucky.

Well, there are two others who survived, so maybe I'm not especially lucky.

You did that to others, too?

Have you met someone else with a hole?

Two, as a matter of fact.

One was someone important to me.

And? Because of the hole, things didn't work out?

Thanks to the hole, we might have managed to connect in the end.

Holes bring liberation, you see.

But...

...the second one killed him.

Is that what happened?

The little lady's really working overtime, isn't she?

With the Mizuhanome, suicide counts as killing.

That means in the past month,

she's been involved in at least two killings and arrested a serial killer.

Assuming she was chosen as a new detective

because she has the aptitude and can enter the Mizuhanome...

If she's diving this very moment...

That would mean it's my well?!

Not just that.

Is there a chance he will appear in my well?!

What is he doing?

I don't know exactly, but I think he needs to rethink all that thinking he does.

John Walker!

The number of people in view at present is 358.

The number of casualties is 175.

They're all Narihisago's family, relatives, former classmates, or the like.

There have been seven thunderbolts so far since Hijiriido arrived,

but we could only see which numbers were hit for the first, third, and seventh strikes.

Those were 5, 3, and 8. As of yet this sequence of numbers means nothing.

What about John Walker?

Nothing so far.

Does this sequence represent the randomness of lightning?

Where's the key?

Come on! Why?!

Are you taking me down with you?

I'm not here to die.

But neither am I here to survive.

Escaping the lightning isn't my task.

I'm here to solve the mystery of Kaeru's death.

The mystery...

In concrete terms...

"Why is Kaeru handcuffed dead to my arm?"

Yes.

Did Kaeru put the cuffs on me?

No. That can't be.

If she had put the cuffs on me,

I too would have died when she was struck.

Some other person put them on me.

For what purpose?

I got it.

It was him.

Aki!

Dad! Where are you?

What good will that do?

That's not going to make that machine respond at all.

Even if I die, my id well won't disappear.

And I can't stop the Mizuhanome either.

For now just calm down, brother.

Shut your trap!

What's going on with these people?

These handcuffs were put on after Kaeru died.

To make it so I wouldn't move from this spot.

Most likely this man believed lightning doesn't strike the same place twice.

But that's just a perception he had.

In actuality, the probability of lighting striking a particular spot

shouldn't change much.

It's perfectly possible for real lightning to strike the same place twice.

For real lightning.

But this is different.

It's incredibly close to real lightning, but it's not.

It's fake.

One,

two,

three,

four,

five,

six,

seven,

eight,

nine.

One,

two,

three,

four,

five,

six,

seven,

eight,

nine.

I knew it!

It only feels random thanks to the variation in distance

changing the intervals between thunderclaps.

But really the timing of the strikes is constant.

It's about nine seconds between flashes.

In short, this isn't natural lightning.

It's artificial.

It's plenty possible it wouldn't strike twice.

That is precisely why I am being kept here.

Further, no one else has realized the truth.

Why didn't he tell the others?

I don't know.

Whatever the case may be, he saved me first and was then struck himself.

But, there's something I can do.

Everyone listen!

Listen to me!

Pass this on!

You're safe!

This lighting won't strike the same place twice!

One,

two,

three,

four,

five,

six,

seven,

eight,

nine.

During each nine seconds, I can move between the panels!

Don't worry.

As long as you stick to places the lightning has already struck, it'll be fine.

"Fine"?

How long is this going to continue?

I can't say.

But as long as it continues, the safe territory will gradually expand.

But look!

People are dying over there, too!

How are we going to help them?

Well, this isn't exactly a nice way of putting it,

but I'm a brilliant detective.

I'm here to solve mysteries, not to save people, you see.

I've already informed you how the lightning works,

so if you're concerned about those people,

I believe you could go to them.

After all, I expect we have roughly the same amount of stamina.

I suppose Hijiriido is right, but she's kinda cold, isn't she?

Even brilliant detectives have their quirks.

Mom.

This lady is exactly right.

We have to try, too.

She told us how to escape the lightning.

Now it's up to us to make this world a better place!

Muku.

I swear.

She's just like the real Muku.

Yep. You're right. We all have to do our parts, right?

Well, I need to move.

Goodbye.

Thanks, Ms. Detective!

Ms. um...

Miyo Hijiriido.

That's...

A cockpit!

How?!

The Kura launched one year ago!

This well is from three years ago!

A cockpit is in operation...

Is this id well linked via the Mizuhanome

to Narihisago's unconscious in the present?

It appears so.

The update's in progress, present progressive...

Now then. What's next?

What is... this?

"In Operation" "Well Source" "Kiki Asukai"

"Kiki Asukai"

Kiki Asukai!

Habutae, who is that?

The Challenger's last victim.

After Narihisago murdered the Challenger... I rescued her.

Director?

I've looked for her since...

I never imagined I'd see her name here.

"In Operation" "Well Source" "Kiki Asukai"

This is bad.

Togo, prepare to extract.

Don't move! Stay where you are!

What?

We're mid-investigation! Get out!

Please obey these investigators' instructions.

Chief.

"Warrant for Arrest" Funetaro Momoki, you are suspected of inducing murder.

Inducement? Just who did I induce?

At least six serial killers. That's who.

Mr. Momoki.

You're John Walker.

We analyzed the data from the mics and cameras from Fukuda's house.

We confirmed several instances of access from your computer.

That can't be!

It must be a mistake!

No, this is a complete setup!

A body was just discovered at this man's house.

We also need to question him as a material witness for that.

Look.

This is Momoki's yard.

The DNA results came back.

It's Nishio Shirakoma.

As you all know, he's the inventor of the Mizuhanome.

Momoki, you need to explain this.

So he was killed?

What is she doing?!

Extract!

I can't!

The apparatus isn't working!

So she's in a well within the well.

Director!

Don't touch anything else. This is an arrest!

I'm relieving Momoki of duty.

For the new director, I appoint you, Ms. Togo.

But wait!

This is an emergency.

For right now, try to save your brilliant detective.

Everyone return to your stations!

Hey! Get Forensics here!

We've found something unbelievable!

Dammit.

I don't know what's going on anywhere!

Was John Walker in my id well?

How did you know we--

Well?

A brilliant detective even outside the well.

I'll share our conclusions.

John Walker was not found in your id well.

I see.

Either way, I just have to keep taking responsibility for what I did.

There's one other thing of which I must inform you today.

It's about Momoki's absence, right?

No matter what was found in my well,

Momoki would never send someone else to tell me about it.

What happened to Momoki?

The director...

Momoki was arrested.

On what charges?

Creating numerous serial killers as John Walker

and causing at least 44 murders.

As well as involvement in the murder of the Mizuhanome's inventor.

How could...

What's the evidence?

They have it, right?

A body was discovered buried at his residence.

Hold it!

What is it?

Who knows if I'm too late or just in time, but I figured out the sequence.

Take a look.

It's a monitor recording.

5, 3, 8, 6, 7, 1, 4.

This is only what was within Hijiriido's field of vision, so I tried something.

Bingo.

It's pi.

Pi, huh?

Yes.

They say every sequence of numbers appears in pi's endless sequence.

Even though they seem random, the numbers in pi adhere to an order.

And this sequence, 5, 3, 8, 6, 7, 1, 4...

It first appears at the 10,375,576th digit of pi.

The lightning struck every 9.03 seconds,

so the first lightning strike was 93,691,442.25 seconds prior.

In other words, 1,084 days ago.

That was...

The day Narihisago's daughter was murdered, right?

You remember the day?

I just guessed.

It's not a difficult quiz.

I guess not.

Once you have Momoki's well,

I need you...

...to let me dive into it.
