Case 1.
Date: XXXXX Year XX Month XX Day
Location: XX Apartment
Victim (questionable): Kawaguchi
Sex: Male
Age: 33
……
"At the crime scene, the victim, Kawaguchi, suffered a head injury. It is presumed that he was stabbed in the brain by a blade that fell from above. When he fell, the handle of the knife hit the table, causing irreversible damage to his entire brain."
Unfortunately, this was just an accident.
"Then please explain why Kawaguchi would deliberately place a kitchen knife at the front door, and point it at his own head."
"Perhaps he's looking for a thrill?"
"And then you ruined yourself?"
"There is no other explanation; we couldn't find any traces of a second person at the scene."
……
Case Two.
Date: XXXXX Year XX Month XX Day
Location: XX Park
Victim (questionable): Yukimura Yoshihisahara
Sex: Male
Age: 25
……
"At the crime scene, the victim, Yoshihisa Yukimura, had his feet entangled in vines. While cutting the vines with a dagger he was carrying, he accidentally severed his own artery and died from shock due to massive bleeding."
"We are sorry, this was also an accident. We have ordered the park management to repair the artificial forest to prevent similar incidents from happening again."
"Could you please explain a few points that raise questions?"
"Please say."
"First, where did those vines come from?"
"Most of them climb on trees, while some grow on the ground."
"Can we assume that their density is very low?"
"Yes."
"Then why would such a small amount of vine bind a young man with all four limbs intact, forcing him to cut it with a dagger instead of untying it with his hands?"
“We are also very puzzled... Based on the on-site inspection, it is possible that Mr. Yukimura Yoshihisahara deliberately wrapped those vines around his feet... We are sorry, we know this is absurd, and we will try our best to find more clues later.”
"...Secondly, if Yukimura Yoshikuhara only wanted to cut the vines, why would he kill himself?"
"I've explained this before, because it was because I severed my own artery—"
"Excuse me—how stupid would a person be to use a dagger held in their hand, which was meant to cut the bindings on their feet, to sever five major arteries, causing them to die from shock?"
"Sorry, we couldn't find any trace of a second person at the scene."
……
Case 3.
Date: XXXXX Year XX Month XX Day
Location: XX Park
Victim (suspected): Kikumaru
Sex: Male
Age: 41
"At the crime scene, the victim... gouged out his own eyes with his own hands and then tried to swallow them directly without chewing, causing his eyeballs to block his throat and suffocate to death."
"We are very sorry."
"..."
Outside the window, the sky grew increasingly gloomy.
Information Integration Thoughts: Chapter 687 Haruhi Suzumiya's Curiosity (26)
"what your name?"
"Saya oh~"
"Are you human?"
"Um~ no."
"Then what are you? A person from the future? Someone from another world? An alien? Or someone with superpowers?"
Saya gently tapped her chin with her index finger, her adorable brows furrowed in thought...
"do not know."
“=尔霖⑧i$wu令韭（三）t熘jiu诶？
The unexpected answer caught Haruhi Suzumiya, who was prepared for an exciting and unpredictable life, off guard. After all, no matter what it was—even if Saya's answer was "a cute girl who has been kidnapped"—Haruhi Suzumiya had a hundred ways to make her life more interesting.
But Saya's answer was "I don't know."
Fortunately, the years of setbacks did not discourage Haruhi Suzumiya. Instead, she asked all sorts of questions to the adorable, almost inhuman "girl" in front of her with a more enthusiastic attitude. Questions included whether she could travel through time, enter other worlds, have a spaceship, or possess superpowers such as controlling fire and ice.
Naturally, all the answers I received were negative.
Realizing that she had caused Haruhi Suzumiya's death, the "girl" showed a worried expression: "I'm sorry, Saya doesn't know anything."
"It's okay, it's not Saya's fault."
Although she didn't know why, that's exactly what Haruhi Suzumiya felt, so she opened her phone, edited the message, and directly selected someone in her contacts who was labeled "esper"—and confirmed sending.
—企②伞林师⑼企散罒—scammer!
The seemingly random message puzzled Lin Yi, but she was soon met with a new "explanation".
—Saya is clearly not a superpowered person!
Lin Yi was speechless.
It certainly can't be a superpowered being, and I never said it was.
The meaning implied in the message made Haruhi Suzumiya quickly overlook the difference in address and press for answers.
—What is Nasaya?
[An entity that can grant people superpowers]
Connecting the dots from their previous conversation, Haruhi Suzumiya quickly came to an answer.
—Outer Gods?
[If it were an Outer God, it would have gone mad the moment it saw it. Although in a sense, you're pretty much the same now.]
Without letting Haruhi Suzumiya continue asking questions, Lin Yi finished editing the last message and then blacklisted the person whose contact was named Haruhi Suzumiya.
[Saya is a messenger of the Outer Gods. Those who can see "it" are people with spiritual vision. The higher one's spiritual vision, the more one can see its essence and communicate with it. If one's spiritual vision is too low, one can only see its appearance. For some reason, those who can only see its appearance refuse to communicate with it, so it's best not to let it appear in front of ordinary people. This is my final message to you; the choice after that is up to you.]
Upon receiving the message, Haruhi Suzumiya was taken aback. She quickly sent a blank message back, but the failed message confirmed that the "superpowered person" on the other end had blocked her—completely acknowledging the scammer's identity.
"Hmph, I'll definitely find you someday!"
While secretly planning how to recruit this "esper" into the SOS Brigade, Haruhi Suzumiya looked at Saya, who was still sitting obediently in her chair, and felt a little lost.
Aside from the power of the "gods," Haruhi Suzumiya is almost no different from an ordinary person in other aspects due to the interference and control of the "mechanisms." As a first-year high school student, she can only live under the protection of her parents. She can't even be independent, let alone take care of Saya. They want her to stay at their home, but they are worried about the issue of her "spiritual vision"...
"Regardless, I'll get you into the SOS Brigade first, and we'll deal with the rest later!"
Under Saya's curious gaze, Haruhi Suzumiya, who had just made an unreliable arrangement for Saya, told her not to leave if she wanted to stay there, and that she would go downstairs to make a phone call.
After Haruhi Suzumiya left, the "girl" who had been sitting obediently in the chair ran to the window and "just in time" heard the faint conversation outside.
"...The target has moved to the first floor."
"Initiate the invasion."
"Note that we are only here to confirm information about Haruhi Suzumiya's contact with the 'unknown person' during this period. Do not let the other party find out, and do not interfere with her life in any way!"
"learn!"
The conversation had just ended when the previously closed window began to make a slight clicking sound.
Under Saya's curious gaze, the window switch "automatically" opened without any external contact, then slowly moved to one side, revealing a voice floating in mid-air behind it, complaining, "Why not use the ability to teleport to do this?"
Then, through a half-open window, the two "熘|[覇jiu!（五）捌另飼淋鷗人" met each other's gaze.

"That's all. I'll bring Saya to find you later. Now, gather at the school!"
"Hey, it's already past midnight. Even if you want to get that Saya to join, you'll have to wait until tomorrow—"
"I don't care, if you're not here in ten minutes, you'll be punished!"
After hanging up the phone, Haruhi Suzumiya was deciding whether to call the literary girl (Yuki Nagato) or her personal maid (Mikuru Asahina) first when she suddenly heard the sound of something falling from upstairs.
Haruhi Suzumiya hurriedly ran upstairs to the second floor, where she saw—
"Saya?"
"Um... I'm sorry, Saya messed it up."
Facing the fallen bookshelf, the "girl" made a swallowing motion, seemingly worried about being scolded by Haruhi Suzumiya: "Saya just wanted to tidy up."
"It's okay, just leave it there."
After confirming that Saya was not injured, Haruhi Suzumiya breathed a sigh of relief, reminded Saya again not to touch anything to avoid getting hurt, and then ran downstairs.
"There seems to be a strange smell? Never mind, the most important thing now is to get the SOS Brigade assembled. This could be an incident related to superpowered individuals, aliens, or people from another world, so we must take it seriously!"
outside the house.
The superpower fled in a panic, his memory still stuck on that moment just a few seconds earlier.
His companion, who always liked to complain, died.
Right in front of me, I was engulfed by a writhing mass of flesh, like a balloon filled with blood and flesh being burst. Pale bone fragments mixed with scarlet liquid splattered in front of me, and then disappeared completely under the "writhing" of the mass of flesh—as if "swallowing".
"What was that? Why was something like that in Haruhi Suzumiya's room? How is Haruhi Suzumiya? Is she dead too? The organization hasn't given us any information! What happened—"
His terror blinded him to the abnormality around him. With a sudden impact in front of him, the writhing shadow and the screaming figure vanished without a trace.
P.S.: Fourth update
Information Integration Thought Entity: Chapter 688 Cycle: Superpowered Instability (Part 1)
Extra Sensory Perception (ESP), also known as special abilities, refers to supernatural abilities such as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, mental projection, and special physical characteristics (such as the body igniting or generating electricity). It is categorized under the field of parapsychology.
From a scientific perspective, superpowers are equivalent to the "five senses of the right brain." Just as the left brain has five senses, the human right brain also has five senses. Some people believe that these are magical powers possessed only by a few exceptional individuals. In fact, these are abilities that everyone possesses. It's just that humans have overdeveloped neocortex, which suppresses subconscious thoughts, thus sealing off these superpowers. Conversely, the brains of animals are almost entirely composed of the old cortex, allowing them to exert their abilities.
Of course, with the emergence of a large number of fantasy works about "superpowers" later, the traditional concept of ESP was unknowingly distorted into a power born to satisfy people's desire to dominate and control others. This is also the "superpower" in the eyes of most people who do not understand the essence of superpowers.
The same was true of Haruhi Suzumiya. She used external sources—movies, anime, and novels—plus her own personal fantasies to create what she considered "superpowers." Out of curiosity and longing for "superpowered individuals," she unconsciously caused these "superpowers" to appear in some human individuals, which is the origin of the "superpowered individual" group in this world.
From this perspective, the so-called "superpowered individuals" in this world are just as unreliable as "superpowers" themselves. What they have is not "superpowers" at all, but simply delusion.
It originated from a few people (literary workers) creating a fantasy to satisfy the delusions of the majority (market consumers). It was a fantasy that did not actually exist. Then, it was captured by an individual (Haruhi Suzumiya) and given a personal "setting" and "understanding" before it was born as the "final fantasy".
This is why the "superpowered individuals" in the "organization" have repeatedly failed in their attempts to find the principles behind the generation and function of "superpowers." From the very beginning, what they obtained was not "superpowers" themselves, but rather some modified delusions. Attempting to verify human delusions through scientific means is destined to be fruitless.
Since the essence of "superpowers" is a product of Haruhi Suzumiya adding her own settings after accepting the delusions of others, then naturally, settings will be added or deleted as external conditions change—the "superpower user" Lin Yi, who actually demonstrated the existence of "superpowers" in front of her, obviously has a stronger persuasive power.
