Once there was a dark night,

When we loved each other,

So desperate, yet so sad,

Never to return.

Lonely game, silly game,

There can be no retreat from night and day!

Endless game,

Hold on tightly to your broken dreams.

Follow me, stay with me,

Last chance, time to risk it all!

It's so hard,

Baby, let me go.

Just Burning World!

Crimson Media

It isn't safe to walk alone in the city this late at night.

Besides, the stars warn of great danger tonight.

I'm with the Cyber Police. Go back home where it's safe.

You can read all that from the alignment of the stars?

Sometimes.

Perhaps I've misinterpreted them tonight.

It's amazing that starlight travels for thousands of years...

before finally reaching us.

But most starlight is never even seen.

It travels on through the endless reaches of space.

It's a dark and lonely journey.

Eternal.

Not quite eternal. It will finally end someday.

Help! I don't want to die!

The victim is Ichiro Edajima, age 42.

Four prior arrests for illegal research.

Died at 12:25 AM, from blood loss through the carotid artery.

This is the third one.

The same neck wound, blood loss, and a password written in blood.

The news services are reporting this as a "vampire killer."

If the case is not solved quickly, it may lead to panic.

So that's why they brought us in.

DNA? What kind of research was he working on?

James Ishikawa Sep. 72:54 am All of them were unlicensed bio-engineers.

All of them were unlicensed bio-engineers.

Yutaka Kazama Sep. 84:16 am All of them were unlicensed bio-engineers.

All of them were unlicensed bio-engineers.

Ichiro Edajima Sep. 1012:25 am

They were all known to work for the black market.

Find the link between them, and you'll find the killer.

Just solve it before we have any more sensational murders.

Don't vampires sleep in the day? We should wait until tonight.

No, we need to find his coffin and hammer a stake into his heart.

Whatever you like, so long as you solve this case fast.

Varsus, have you figured out those passwords yet?

No correlation found.

It may be a manufacturing ID or a registration number.

It "may be"? What good does that do us, junkpile?

Let's trade Varsus in for some garlic and a cross.

This is your specialty. Let me know what you find out.

Wow, spooky case! They got us looking for vampires now!

Actually, the vampires of legend were tragic creatures.

Eternally young, but forever craving human blood.

I have no idea.

I bought some drugs from him five years ago, but that's all.

Hey, want a free sample? It's legal.

I guarantee: Ten times in one night.

I swear, I never met them!

I heard they got a big job from some VIP. Maybe the syndicate.

They specialized in DNA research.

I heard the syndicate hired them to make an illegal proteroid.

But somehow it doesn't sound like a syndicate job.

That's my gut feeling.

The syndicate didn't kill them; it was an amateur job.

They were worth lots more alive.

So, can I show you a good time tonight? I'll do you for free.

Sorry we couldn't help you, Officer.

By the way, some cyberpunks heard you were in the area.

You'd better watch your step out there.

What do you want?

A dog with a dog collar belongs in a cage.

And you belong on that dump, since you're garbage.

Hey, that's a good one! I could bust a gut laughing!

Who put you up to this?

Nobody! Lots of us like killing dogs like you just for sport.

I suppose so. Besides, who would rely on someone like you?

Go to hell!

Barbecue dog for dinner!

Nah, his kind makes me sick.

- No! Ow! - Hey.

I'll let you off tonight with just a minor penalty.

Now get out of here before you lose your heads.

You still have the moves.

It's been quite a while, Kelly. When did you get back to Oedo?

Stay out of this case. I don't want to kill you.

I don't want to fight you, either.

Then...

YOU stay out of this case.

I still owe you.

That was a long time ago.

It was a nasty line of work.

Yeah.

Kelly, forget it. You don't owe me anything.

A Universal Access card sends a valid ID to any computer.

It's incredibly illegal. Are you homesick for prison?

What do you want to know?

They had some new employer for this job.

But they never mentioned a name. They were real cautious.

Money was deposited directly into their accounts each month.

I didn't know criminals kept bank accounts.

The syndicate would have used cash; this is too easy to trace.

Yeah, their deposits date back to July!

They got 2,500,000 every month.

The funds were transferred from...

Shuzo Saionji?

He's Honorary Chairman of the Saionji Medical Foundation.

Interesting. Thank you, Okyo.

An honorary chairman who uses unlicensed researchers.

I did give them some help.

Did you realize that they were unlicensed criminals?

Really? I didn't know.

I just thought they were talented men who fell on hard times.

I wanted to help them out. Call it an old man's whim.

If your money funded illegal research,

you bear partial responsibility.

That's only proper. I'll be more careful in the future.

Sir, you need to get some rest.

Take care of your body, young man.

If you want a long life, get plenty of rest.

I wish I could. Excuse me.

Cryogenic Treatment Facility

A capsule!

It's the number of a cold-sleep capsule!

Use of the space elevator is restricted.

Insert proper ID.

It really works.

Remi Masuda. Admitted in 2504.

Nothing here but rose petals.

Use of the space elevator is restricted.

Insert proper ID.

Another old man's whim? The lying old coot.

Centuries-old data?

Yes. Look up a woman named Remi Masuda.

I don't know if they save data for three centuries.

Benten, I've started analyzing that computer disk.

What do you have?

It looks pretty bad.

Get to the point.

They created a new type of virus.

It alters human cells, granting unlimited cellular reproduction.

It's an immortality virus.

Nobel Prize material.

That's not all.

The virus stimulates areas of the brain,

giving a huge boost to psychic abilities.

Letting someone jump into an upper-floor window...

and snap a man's arm off?

Yes.

But the virus has one big flaw. It halts blood production.

Anyone infected would need a perpetual supply of living blood.

I see. That explains our vampire.

Exactly. But there's still one part I don't understand:

What were the victims working on when they were killed?

Research on a second monster?

I don't know. It will take a while to figure this out.

Let me know, once you find out.

I'll give you a fighting chance.

Killing has become too easy for you.

It's my job. Don't worry about it.

Who's your client?

Let me guess: An old geezer who should have died years ago.

Do I win a cigar?

Let's do it.

What a wretched fate, to come up against you.

The stars are probably in a bad alignment.

Yes.

You always were a good shot.

Your job would have been easy, but you thought you owed me.

I agree.

Shuzo Saionji, I'll peel your skin off and make you suffer.

Benten, I found your ancient data! Can you hear me?

Send it over.

Roger.

Package for Mr. Kurozaki! I need your signature.

Damn, I'm too late!

Monster! You won't get away from me!

That homing device will tell me exactly where you're going.

Right! Of course! That explains it!

Then I guess it's up to me to finish your research.

There were beautiful homes here 300 years ago.

Back when you lived here,

Remi Masuda.

There was a beautiful rose garden across the street.

I sat on our terrace, sipped tea, and looked at it.

You must like roses.

Your cold-sleep capsule was filled with rose petals.

My parents put them in there for me.

I was born from an artificial womb, but it malfunctioned.

The cells in my body aged too quickly. Nothing could be done.

So I went into cold sleep to wait for a cure.

And while I slept, I dreamed.

I dreamed of my happy life here in this house.

But then I woke from my sleep and my nightmare began.

I promise to end your bad dream very soon.

Benten, get away from that woman! She's dangerous!

I prefer dangerous women.

Be serious! Are you falling in love with a monster?

Warning: Cease hostilities immediately.

You bastard!

It's Hasegawa. Execute the criminal.

If Benten gets in your way, kill him too.

Damn junkpile! You ratted on him!

Still...

You can handle Benten. You can just blow his head off.

I'll do that, if the criminal is still alive an hour from now.

You did it, Goggles!

Have the chemistry lab make this up immediately.

The Medical Academy. She's heading for the space elevator.

Perfect. They have a shuttle port on the roof.

Use of the space elevator is restricted. Insert proper ID.

Don't!

Don't do it, Remi!

I wasn't the only guinea pig.

The cold-sleep capsules provided plenty of subjects.

They all died in horrible agony.

It's their hatred that drives me.

Now there's only one target left for my revenge:

Shuzo Saionji, a demon disguised as a man.

Wait!

Out of my way! I'm going!

You'll have to get past me first!

Sounds like fun.

I'll kill you myself if you let the vampire get away.

One more thing:

The researchers were desperately working to save their own lives.

They needed a cure for the virus.

I loaded the serum into this baton.

Drive it into the vampire's heart.

I've been waiting for you, Remi.

Demon! Why did you do this?

Nothing is more terrifying than death.

I have always dreamed of immortality.

But I never wanted immortality.

I chose cold sleep in the hope that someday I could be cured.

I didn't have much time.

I needed to achieve immortality before this body failed me.

And thanks to you, the experiment was a success.

The experiment was a success.

Not only am I immortal, but I've also gained incredible power!

As thanks, I will grant you death.

I will feed on the blood that flows in your immortal veins.

Release Remi Masuda!

So, you're still alive.

The Honorary Chairman of the Saionji Medical Foundation.

That's quite a title.

But you don't have the right to use your patients as guinea pigs.

Look at what I've accomplished.

No one can kill me now!

You know too much.

You might as well give up. There's nowhere you can run.

Where are you hiding?

Right here, Saionji!

I told you, no one can kill me.

I will live forever.

Forever? That's absurd.

Everything in this universe has both a beginning and an end.

Nothing lasts forever, except for one thing:

Your crimes are eternal.

Please, let me die, too.

It's finally over. My nightmare has ended.

Yes. From now on, you'll only have good dreams.

Yes, I will.

Goodbye.

It's amazing that starlight travels for thousands of years...

before finally reaching us.

But most starlight is never even seen.

It travels on through the endless reaches of space.

It's a dark and lonely journey.

Eternal.

Now, nothing will disturb your sleep ever again.

You will travel forever, alongside the starlight.
