I had at least three dreams that I woke up remembering but I am starting to get sick so I did not record most of them, and so now I can barely remember part of the end of my last dream.
This dream took place during the day in a slightly fictional version of the city of D, my family had recently bought a double-wide mobile home that was in a fictional large field among some other properties on the left side of the street across from near where B Electric should be, but in this dream there was maybe a parking lot and hospital on the right side of the street where B Electric should be.
“The Laughing Man Incident” started off with a kidnap of Ernest Serano, the CEO of Serano Genomics in 2024, followed by blackmails targeting manufacturers of micromachines and medical equipment.
It was just the first of a series of terrorist incidents aimed at corporations, and it’s been speculated that the number of corporations targeted was the highest in the post-war period.
Several conjectures circulated regarding the final purpose of the criminal: terrorism against cyber and prosthetics technology, a corporate conspiracy, or simply a blackmailing scheme for money.
But the reality was that nothing was identified concerning the incident: nothing about the criminal’s nationality, sex, age, or even whether there was an accomplice or objective.
The only clear fact was that the Laughing Man was a top-notch hacker.
One day, Police Investigator Yamaguchi, who was tracking the Laughing Man Incident, calls Togusa in Section 9.
Yamaguchi dies mysteriously immediately afterwards.
A few days later, the Laughing Man hijacks the broadcast of a police news conference to express regrets about the incident.
Section 9 is dispatched to investigate the intentions of the invisible hacker known as “Laughing Man,” who finally broke his silence.
