Kyokou Suiri (Ss1) - Ep 6 (gọi tắt là “Suiri #63”)

A summary site? The monster of creativity survives through human creativity. As long as its existence is imagined and desired, the successor shall be immortal; even if decapitated, it shall rise again and again. Its existence is not within that body, but sustained by external wishes. me It is a automaton that moves perpetually as desired by its creators, possessing neither intelligence nor capacity for thought—merely a figure bearing another's name. That's what sets them apart from ordinary youkai or ghosts—Yanaginaga Then how do you defeat it? Anyone who takes on the name afterward will certainly kill people. I never expected a creative monster to have grown to this extent. I've also seen summary sites, but they seem to be encouraging the radicalization of posthumous figures. Therefore, the only way to defeat those who claim to be successors is to use this site. If a person's immortality comes from human creativity, then we must master that creativity itself. That's when Ms. Saki's abilities as a police officer will be needed. I'd like you to shut down the website using police authority, please. It wouldn't be realistic to restrict an individual's website without any reason. Then, what information do you have for me? I would like you to provide accurate information regarding the death of Nanae Kairin. On the basis of this information, I will construct a story that surpasses the rumors circulating under the name of future generations. A ghostly impostor, a monster born of creative imagination from its own tale—against the story that claims a ghost must exist for it to stand. There is no other way than to overwrite the story claiming there are no ghosts. If we accept the rewritten tale by those who believed in the existence of successors, then the vitality of the successors will endure. It will fade away and vanish— a story with no ghosts. Trying to apply rational explanations to urban legends and prove them false is impossible. Even if a rumor that has spread widely is later found to have a rational explanation, it is still difficult to accept. If a rumor seems more plausible, even a little contradiction may cause it to be accepted as truth. Yes, truth is not always powerful. Moreover, what future generations will uphold is also the truth. Therefore, I confront it with a rational fiction—more appealing than the reality that inheriting a name is merely the ghost of the past. I will directly insert into a summary site the story claiming that "posthumous name-taking is a fiction," a reasonable fiction. That said, since there are no spirits in this world, no one desires a mere statement that there's no one claiming to be a descendant of the past. You cannot dispel the longing and fear that someone who exists would be more interesting. There may be successors who bear their name, but they are nothing more than monsters of imagination. Saying this truth—that it would vanish if no one indulged in delusions—is the same as nothing. If anything, it would only lead to more posts expressing a desire for its appearance. That's what makes it interesting; however, even if it's a lie, if a story or resolution is presented that is more captivating than the real one, people will be drawn to it. People believe in the existence of ghosts, yet at the same time, they secretly wish in their daily lives that such terrifying things did not exist. This vector simultaneously contains contradiction and coexistence, and its direction can easily be reversed. I'll admit your logic, but it's utterly absurd for you, who are part of the organization, to claim that the genuine organization doesn't exist—what a blatant deceiver you are. Yes, it's a suspicion, a frame-up, but there's no other way to deal with that thing. Let's have a realistic discussion. To make readers of summary sites believe that King Henry VII was not a ghost, two issues must be resolved. One is who is responsible for the recent series of attempted incidents in Makizaka City, and the other is why they are carrying out such actions. If a realistic and compelling solution is presented explaining these two points, Houjou 7th can be understood as a fiction of reason. For this, accurate information is necessary; if you blindly trust information found online, fabricate a solution, and write it up, you'll later be pointed out as wrong. That solution loses its persuasiveness; that's why I need the police's information. About the death of the seventh Calin, saying that I leaked personal information to the police Well, I thought the police might get bogged down since jurisdiction differs, but we already have资料 on the 7th Calin. isn't it? Yesterday, I warned this kid of Rana: don't get involved with the 7th generation of Houjou. Yet the fact that there are documents available suggests you can't overlook the 7th Lord of Houjin either. Didn't I tell you yesterday? The same detective from the same place is investigating Heijin VII, suspecting him of being a harbinger of crime. Their objective is the same. We need this in order to defeat the seventh generation of Houjia. Will you kindly lend us your assistance, sir? I don't mind cooperating in providing information, but what about the culprit? Even if we were to settle for a realistic resolution, there would be no one to arrest, and framing someone else as the culprit wouldn't give a very good impression either. We will skillfully avoid it by preparing an alternative resolution. The ultimate goal is to present a more compelling story than the truth that a genuine ghost is behind the incident. Then, resolution isn't about identifying the culprit—it's enough to believe that the Seventh Generation of the Rear Army was deliberately created by a human being. The event doesn't need to be resolved by actual police action; as long as it can be transformed in the minds of those who believe in the Seventh Lord of Gōjin into something that makes sense even without ghosts, it's fine. It's valuable, isn't it? Tough conditions, indeed. Isn't it much easier to create a false resolution relying on police investigations or court trials? Let's just talk about what we can share for now. Let's start with reviewing the overview and organizing the points of confusion. Seventh-generation Karing was suspected of murdering his father, fled from the media, and went into hiding in Makizaka City. The body was discovered on January 30 of this year, around 8 a.m. The first question raised during the investigation was why the 7th Calin had been in such a place. The discovery site was an abandoned construction site for a condominium. It was an unnatural place for a 19-year-old girl to stop by, and by just after midnight, it began to rain heavily, leaving the surrounding area empty of people. It was an unusual time and weather for her to be out, as she was rarely around. It's hard to imagine anything other than someone having called for him, given the circumstances, but according to the reports, there was a cigarette lying beside the corpse. There were an umbrella and five cigarette butts lying on the ground. There was also a lighter and an opened cigarette pack in the coat's pocket. Seventh-generation Kalin is a minor, and the legal age for smoking is prohibited. The police suspect that Kalin may have stopped by the scene to smoke in a secluded spot where no one would see. Seventh Kaelin was smoking a cigarette while waiting to be summoned by someone. Or it's not entirely possible to completely rule out the possibility that the person who was called had already arrived and was smoking the cigarette that the person who called had requested. It was raining all night, so even if someone had been there, every trace—including footprints—would have been washed away. If they'd just been waiting to meet someone, you'd expect to see signs of them trying to contact the other person via mobile phone, wouldn't you? However, her phone records only showed communications with the manager. The police had increasingly leaned toward viewing the incident as a suicide from quite an early stage. A man who was smoking suddenly died when a steel beam collapsed on him—this is simple and logical. But it's true that this would bring up another set of problems. It's the spot where the steel beam struck directly in the face, with no signs of having attempted to defend oneself. If a steel beam were coming straight at you, even if you knew it would be futile, you'd likely instinctively twist your body or make some kind of defensive reaction. That would be suspicious, indeed, if it were completely absent and simply crushed without reason—though, come to think of it, that might be expected. If it is to be considered homicide, the hypothesis proposed was that the victim's freedom was taken by striking them only hard enough to knock them unconscious, then laying them on the ground and deliberately toppling an iron beam onto them. However, Nanae Kairin was hounded by the media, suspected of killing her own father, and mentally driven to the brink. It could be interpreted as a situation where one has given up on oneself, and if, by chance, a steel frame suddenly toppled toward them, it wouldn't be surprising to just vaguely be crushed. The interpretation that she lost consciousness first and then collapsed the steel frame is now prevailing. Meanwhile, Nanase Kairin, while fleeing from the media, had become so exhausted that she even considered suicide. During that time, the steel frame collapsed, and I just gave up and was crushed without resistance—this interpretation also works. Other investigators have expressed the same opinion. Although officially, the police declared Nanase Kairin's death an accident, unofficially, given the circumstances, it was effectively concluded as an accident extremely close to suicide. Since the actual sister of Nanase Kairin, who was considered to have the strongest motive for the multiple murders, had an alibi, and there were no other credible suspects. A conclusion had already been reached one month after the discovery of the corpse. Was there a motive on the part of her actual sister? that the surrounding people had heard he blamed his sister for their father's death, and that if the sister died, the entire inheritance would go to her—such circumstances made the sister's death a complete surprise to the eldest brother. It was all convenient—thus, the biggest question surrounding Nanase Kairin's death was Nanase Hajime. During the investigation, Nagase Hatsuki was the only one who repeatedly questioned why her younger sister had been in a mental state where she contemplated suicide. It's strange that he kept opposing the police's increasingly rigid stance, which was solidifying around the idea of suicide. From the perspective of his sister, who was under suspicion as a suspect, it would have been better for the situation to be resolved quickly. Even if you're going to die, saying outright that you wouldn't die in such a way is kind of bothersome, Iwana. So, in reality, what happened? If it's the usual procedure, you probably already know most of it, senior. You're used to this kind of thing, aren't you? We couldn't follow the procedure this time. There were too many people around during the day, so we couldn't get to the scene. Let's go now. Where should we conduct the inquiry survey? You brought me to a place like this? It's been over half a year since Nanae Kairin died by suicide. It's pointless to come to the scene of the accident now, isn't it? Nothing at all. Now, there's no one around, is there? And it's the perfect time for those who aren't human to be active. Let me check it out—I simply can't rest until I do, not even before the sacred shrine maiden. Miko are the coolest when they draw magic circles. Who are you trying to impress, anyway? Sure, I'll certainly stop with all that annoying chatter from now on. What on earth are you doing at a time like this? This is indeed fortunate—encountering a human ghost! Ah, you're the one-eyed, one-legged princess everyone in the city is talking about—Ayaka City Public School, they're saying. So that's it. It's unusual for mermaids to mingle with humans, but humans are mixed in too. This is terrifying. By the way, have you been here all along since before? I've been here ever since I died last year. An accident occurred here at the end of January this year. You know about that, right? And a 19-year-old girl passed away—wasn't that girl from 7SECLIN? Did you know? I saw the moment she died. On that rainy day, she was all alone. He looked utterly dejected at that moment. She didn't even try to dodge the steel beam; it was dangerous. Uuuu... To let something like that happen so casually—it's like suicide. If only I had grown stronger, I might have stopped it. You don't need to feel responsible at all. Thus, the facts have become clear—Japan's police force is excellent. This is truly an accident death that comes dangerously close to suicide. Wait a minute, is there really a way to know about that seesaw? You don't even have a hypothesis! Isn't it best if the facts become clear through eyewitness testimony from an unrelated third party? Then you didn't even need to check the police investigation details, did you? You could've found out everything just by asking a ghost or a yōkai. Truth is important, but it's also important what conclusions are drawn from that truth, which is generally accepted as true. Since those who fantasize about Ushio Nanao on the other side of the net are thinking and acting based on that fantasy, we ourselves cannot outwardly display anything beyond that. And even if the information is not true, I will use it, provided it is generally regarded as true. I am the god of wisdom. Use anything you can to lend credibility to your fiction when building a fiction; you're truly a princess, and I'll use this frustration as motivation to push forward. When this building is completed, I'll show you the power to become a guardian spirit. Suddenly, everything seems utterly reckless. Even if your proposed solution were exceptionally well-crafted and captivating, whether it's ultimately accepted online would ultimately come down to luck. Not everyone always wants to be logical; some people remain interested in mysterious events even after they are resolved. Some people are eager to believe in ghosts, and in the midst of that uncertainty, your lie can hold power. The reason imagination's monsters don't easily come into being is precisely because of that—whether most people believe it or not, you won't know until you try. It wouldn't be surprising if rumors about the late Emperor Hei-7 had already spread, but there's always a possibility that any rumor could be believed. And here we have Senior Kuro, who's been through tough times. If I prepare a lie that has even a slight chance of being believed, Senpai will go to great lengths to make sure the probability of support reaches 100%. You're not actually surviving by eating meat from the Meat Clan, are you? Well then, good night, Mister Sen, good night. A: Goodbye, senior. Are you going through some hotel? B: No, I didn't think that far ahead. I'm staying in a double room, just in case something like that might happen, but there was a business hotel right in front of the station, wasn't there? Why wouldn't you reject my offer, Iwana? Is the basic framework for setting up a false resolution already in place? Why does the culprit take on the form of Nesekarin and attack people night after night? You could create as many synchronizations as you want, but whether they'd have the impactful appeal to catch people's attention—that's the hard part. It might become highly compelling if skillfully linked to past events, just enough to evoke a touching, bittersweet feeling—though it's not reality, but rather a story-like truth. Yes, harsh truths are commonplace—who would possibly wish for them? And then comes the next part, the duty of the hardworking senior. I'll grab the future where your resolution is demanded. I'll die for you over and over again. The future is not predetermined. When viewed from the present moment, it branches out, changes, and expands in countless ways. Every path leads to some future, and every future is possible. And when you choose one path and move forward, All divergences behind have vanished, leaving the past as a single path. Behind is one path, ahead is infinity, and the future is always unknown and undefined. But if that logic holds, prophecy should be impossible. If the future branches infinitely, it's impossible to pinpoint a single outcome. Yet ordinarily, this contradiction lies in the fact that the usual prophecy does not speak of the future by seeing it. It is the power to condense the infinite branches existing in that future into a single path, determining what kind of future will be reached. Is this the power of the Prophecy's 9th Burst? What a terrifying power this is. As a consequence, under normal circumstances, one's own life would be taken; if one sees all possible futures and selects one to collapse into, the life force would be completely burned out. But no matter what future it is, you can't just decide it however you want; you can't use it freely either—there are limitations. You cannot see the branching of the future and choose until you face death; or rather, you do not die because of the prophecy of the ninth blast. Perhaps the mechanism that allows prophecy is precisely because death is approaching. Then, surely, the ability to see the future is a privilege granted only at the moment of death. It seems like HR. I'll come back to life, and I can only determine futures that are highly likely to happen. There are so many branching possibilities after one year that they cannot be seen or chosen among, and when it comes to events with low probability, the branches are too distant to grasp. It's more troublesome than I expected. By the way, congratulations on your hard work. Today I have one report to make. Report: Yes, the acceptance notification has arrived. Congratulations, we'll be in the same university from spring. Hardship Senior, when you were just killed by the Rear 7th, didn't you see a future where that had vanished? I thought it was possible, but it wasn't something that could reach me, and with too many branching possibilities, I couldn't process it in time. I was barely able to survive by decisively choosing the most reliable future in which to defeat it. I couldn't do it, but you're the one who thinks they can do everything alone. That's your limit—you'll die, while I'll come back to life. You left it for a week and now suddenly act like a guardian? Senior, you died once back then and came back after deciding your future. However, the future in which you, senior, defeated the Seventh Rear Army and won could not be chosen—it was a future out of your reach. That's why I just need to make it reach its target; if I can only provide the possibility, then the Seventh of the Rear Army can be defeated. My senior makes sure of the possibilities—about that person, I haven't told Saki yet. That's true, I suppose. There's no guarantee that person is even involved in this matter. Senior, you didn't choose the future and stick with Saki because you didn't try to choose the future, did you? If it's okay to do that, then I'll be the first to grab the future where I leave you behind. That's cowardly, a despicable underhanded move—no, I don't think I can ever restart things with Sakagi-san now, so don't worry. Probably Sakagi-san feels the same way. I find that pretense of understanding each other so well kind of annoying. What exactly do you want me to say? What's wrong with the passion of saying I'll definitely make you happy? Senior Kuryo seems to lack warmth toward people. Isn't it okay to live honestly, even if it's a troublesome emotion that might one day drift away because of misguided kindness? First, go to the hotel; after passing through the park, turn right. Don't worry about it now. When casualties occur, the conditions for fabricating a resolution become even stricter. It's fine—Lord Houshū VII still can't kill anyone. Even if there's no one willing to face it, tonight at least should pass without any incident. Police! What are you doing dressed like that in the middle of the night? Rumor has it you're a woman in a red dress, carrying steel beams, with no face. Her special makeup is really well done, but come on, it's just too good. Ah! What happened? Detective Terada was murdered by the 7th generation of the Gojin family! If we continue like this, there may be new victims. We must defeat the Seventh Rear Commander before tonight is over. Preparation for the Next Backline Assault Battle
