Inspectors Arata Shindou and Mikhail Kei Ignatov have exposed a perilous plot.
The Sybil System, Japan's supreme arbiter of character, is being subverted by a covert syndicate that quietly amasses wealth and influence behind closed doors in the shadows.
Now, Bifrost operative Kouichi Azusawa mounts a direct strike on the Criminal Investigation Department by seizing its headquarters and holding Inspector Shindou and all staff hostage during operation.
CID Unit 01 commander, together with Chief Mika Shimotsuki and former squadmates Shinya Kougami and Nobuchika Ginoza, must reclaim the facility in the midst of chaos, and rescue every captive.
Amid the hostage crisis and Azusawa's call for Tokyo governor Karina Komiya to step down, a dark scheme unfolds behind the scenes—a covert plot that compels Inspector Shindou to face not only Azusawa but also his buried deeply past memories.
These developments gradually draw him nearer to unveiling the enigma that has haunted both him and his close ally Ignatov for years.
