Crime Case I: Unspeakable Common Knowledge

A genius scientist has appeared, bringing a new breakthrough in solving crimes: a machine called Sin, which can generate a criminal's mental world when certain conditions are met, is now in use.

As the machine's only suitable operator, Jin Mi's task is to enter those worlds, find the "common sense" the criminal least wants to exist, and use it to identify the culprit.

[Sin]: Accept aptitude assessment? Yes.

Identity: Jin Mi (forensic pathologist)

Age: 25

Mental strength: S

Physical strength: A

Status: ??

Experience world: ??

Number of loops: ???

Overall assessment: Can loop ?? times

[Sin]: The criminal world has finished playing. Generating evidence...

In court, the criminal acted to win sympathy from the judge and jury, while secretly threatening Jin Mi: "When I get out, I'll destroy you."

Jin Mi had heard similar things a hundred times over. Besides, there was another personality inside him that wanted to carry out the aesthetics of crime every single day. He wasn't the least bit moved.

He simply retorted, "Do you think a serial killer branded with the mark of crime can still be free?"

Note:

The protagonist's personality is affected by the criminal's consciousness inside the machine. Different criminals influence him in different ways, but every loop brings him closer to his own personality. The machine's exact specifications are entirely my own invention, though a machine that reflects consciousness and dreams appeared in the film Paprika more than ten years ago.

Theme: In a world teeming with desire, crime continues to breed. We search for the truth within a distorted world of crime, not for the past or the future, but for this very moment: to bring criminals to justice.
