17. An electric shock-like tremor

It was a black ribbon .

It was badly damaged, with scorch marks on the edges and dried, dark brown bloodstains. This was a relic that had fallen from Reise's neck as she fought to her last breath. It should have been destroyed in the evidence room, but due to some administrative oversight, it was sent here mixed in with other items.

Dianzhi 's fingertips touched the ribbon, a thunderclap suddenly exploded in his brain, which had been completely "whitewashed" by Makima.

The wound left by the probe throbbed with a dull ache, a pain that resonated with the bloody scent of the ribbon. Makima thought she had erased her memories, but she couldn't erase the physical connection . The tangible sensation of the ribbon was a thousand times more powerful than anything she could have imagined.

18. A Secret Possession

Denji 's eyes remained vacant, but in the instant he bent over, he used the act of cleaning as cover to swiftly tuck the black ribbon into his sleeve.

" Denji-kun , are you done cleaning?" Makima's voice came from the doorway.

"It's over, Miss Makima." Denji turned around, his face bearing that flawless , reconstructed smile.

He followed Makima out of the lab, the black ribbon in his sleeve clinging to his wrist. The rough texture rubbed against his nerves, each step a reminder: you are not a machine, you were once loved by this person, and you once considered betraying the whole world for this person.

That was the "noise" that Makima had overlooked .

19. A Spark in the Darkness

That night, in his bedroom in the tower, Denji curled up alone in a corner. The instant he confirmed the security camera was in a blind spot, he slowly pulled the black ribbon from his sleeve.

tying it around his neck, he wrapped it around the fingers of his left hand.

He closed his eyes and reconstructed the dismantled "cinema" in his mind. This time, the images no longer flickered. Through the physical connection of the ribbon, Reggie's outline became clearer than ever before.

He imagined the last move Rachel taught him — not fighting, but **"waiting"**.

"It's not illegal to imagine in your head... " he murmured, his voice so low that only he could hear it. "Miss Makima, you killed my brain, but you forgot that Pochita still lives in my heart."

That black ribbon became his only color in this pure white hell.

It is both a token and a fuse.

As long as this ribbon remains, the rebellion known as " Denji " will never be completely rebuilt.

In the darkness, he revealed a cold, wild, and crazed smile that Makima had never seen before. (...To be continued...)

16. The Lingering Warmth of Relics — A Black Ribbon in the Waste

The laboratory lights were icy cold. After confirming that Denji's "performance" had returned to its peak, Makima turned to process the subsequent data reports. Denji was left in the cleaning area, where blood-stained sheets from the surgery were piled up, along with some debris brought back from the battlefield that had been deemed "worthless."

Denji was like an automaton programmed with instructions, mechanically picking up a broom and cleaning up the shards of glass on the floor. His movements were fluid and precise , without any of that "unnatural sluggishness."

However, as he swept a pile of debris into a metal bin, a long, thin, black object slid out from among a pile of tattered protective suits. (...To be continued...)

12. Neural Reorganization – Makima's Underground Laboratory

The chemical plant's "mistake" became a thorn in Makima's side that she couldn't remove. Instead of taking Denji to patrol the territory, she took him to the deepest part of the Public Security Special Division , a forbidden zone that even the Kishibe was off-limits to — the "Neural Repair Laboratory . "

There are no cozy sofas in the tower, no virtual sunlight. Only glaring operating lights , cold medical steel, and the lingering smell of formaldehyde and potent anesthetics in the air.

Denji was naked and strapped to the hydraulic operating table, his limbs locked with heavy restraints. His chest was sealed with a set of precision vacuum suction cups, preventing him from making any physical resistance.

" Denji-kun , we need to grind away those 'rusty' parts." Makima put on a white lab coat and latex gloves, holding an electron probe that shimmered with a ghostly blue light. "It'll be a little uncomfortable, but after it's over, you'll be purer than before."

 

13. The Collapse of the Mental Cinema

Makima precisely inserted the probe behind Dianzhi 's ear, which is the intersection of the brain's memory circuits .

"Buzz— ! "

A high-frequency electric current instantly surged into Denji 's brain. In reality, Denji 's body convulsed violently from the extreme electric shock, his bones creaking and grinding against the restraints. But in his mind, the "illegal film" was undergoing unprecedented destruction.

The once clear silhouette of Reige began to flicker and shatter violently under the impact of the blue electric current. The fighting techniques Reige taught him, the taste of coffee, and the memories of rainy days were now being forcibly covered with a thick layer of white paint by Makima.

"No... Get away... " Denji 's consciousness screamed.

His mind raced, trying to grasp that wisp of purple hair. But Makima's will transformed into countless white chains, descending from the sky and tearing Ragnarok 's afterimage to shreds. This was no longer gentle domination; it was a brutal mental castration.

14. The Bomb Demon's Last Resistance

Just as Denji 's consciousness was about to completely collapse and Reige's image was about to vanish into nothingness, the "bomb" deep in his head suddenly erupted with astonishing heat.

That wasn't Leige 's memory, but **the sensation of pain** itself.

Denji recalled the moment Reige bit off his tongue, the excruciating pain mixed with the taste of blood and a frenzied agony. In his consciousness, he no longer protected the phantom of Reige , but instead actively detonated those painful memories.

"boom!!"

A black, explosive current swept across his mental realm, and the impact even traveled back along the probe to strike Makima's senses.

Makima's hand trembled slightly, and the probe almost fell off. She looked at the monitoring instrument in surprise; under extreme suppression, a spike-like peak appeared in Dianzhi 's brainwave chart .

"Using pain to build a defense?" Makima's eyes turned cold. She increased the power of the probe. " Yoji-kun , the more you struggle, the more thoroughly I must dismantle you."

15. "Reorganization" after the blank space

The surgery lasted a full twelve hours .

When the probe was pulled out, fine traces of blood seeped from the corners of Denji's eyes, nostrils, and ears. His eyes completely lost focus, and his eyeballs rolled upwards involuntarily, revealing large expanses of horrifying whites.

Makima untied the restraints, and Dianzhi slid to the ground like a lump of mud .

" Denji-kun , look at me."

Denji slowly, extremely slowly, raised his head. His movements no longer had that "unnatural sluggishness" from before, but instead displayed a chilling, absolute submissiveness. He looked at Makima, and even a hollow yet perfectly standard smile appeared on his lips.

" ... Miss Makima ... "

"Is the person who was making noise in my head just now still there?" Makima asked tentatively.

Yodo tilted his head , as if pondering a non-existent word, then shook his head. "Inside, it's very quiet. There's nothing there ... only Miss Makima's voice."

Makima smiled with satisfaction. She leaned down and kissed Dianzhi's cold forehead. She was certain that she had completely defused the time bomb called " Reggie ".

However, in the deepest , most unfathomable, cleansed corner of Dōji's mind, in the darkest recesses, one last thing remained. It wasn't Reggie 's face, nor her voice, but the outline of a charred pull tab from a coffee can .

That was him using the last of his soul's strength to bury it in the deepest part of "pain" .

He is indeed purer now. He has become a more dangerous, more perfect killing machine than before. But he is also waiting — waiting for the day when he will set this laboratory ablaze with his own hands.

Because, although the imagery may be temporarily suppressed in the mind, once the seed of pain is planted, it will never wither. (...To be continued...)
