Bloodshed escalates: the Kuroda heirs hire yakuza to seize the seal; the Kim twins poison each other’s sake at a celebratory banquet. Natsuki teams up with a disgraced public prosecutor, Takeda, who once fought the welfare cuts. They trace the algorithm’s origin to a reclusive Danish mathematician—a nod to Høeg’s obsession with cold, precise evil—who designed it as a social experiment. Mr. Yi, now terrified, offers to confess, but the algorithm, still running autonomously, sends assassination instructions to a desperate bidder using the welfare notification system itself.
