Profiler: I Can Wear Anyone’s Skin

(Transformation + skin-wearing + infinite worlds at first, then fewer worlds as the setting gets more detailed. It turns brainless from Volume 4 onward, so you can skip the earlier parts. Don't ask what happened to the cover. I want to change the title. (≖֊≖))

Thanks, everyone.

Even more outrageous, he can "put on" other people's skins.

By profiling someone to the extreme, he can strip away their "personality shell", a skin-thin layer. Once he puts it on, their appearance, behavior, and even emotional memories briefly flood into him.

In a manor poisoning case, he wears a maid's skin to sneak into the study and gather evidence;

In a series of murders on the snowy plains, he layers a student's skin with a teacher's skin, infiltrating twice over and making teacher and student expose each other;

At a vampire castle, he wears the skin of the Progenitor and crushes the traitors. The 2,000-year-old Vampire Progenitor kneels before him.

It feels great, but what's the price?

Every time he wears someone else's skin, his sense of "who he is" grows a little more blurred.

Until he discovers that the crimes in every scenario can be traced back to a single source, and that source bears the mark of a past he himself has forgotten.

"That ultimate criminal you're investigating... why not take a look in the mirror?"
