Description
When you die in the game, your heart stops in the real world.
Touka Kimizuki and her twin brother, Yuuto, look like typical teenagers, but they hide a lethal secret. By day, they navigate high school life in Tokyo. By night, they operate as elite secret agents for the Public Security Intelligence Agency (PSIA). Their current obsession is Fatal Bullet, a massive VR multiplayer online action game. Along with their friends Manabe and Akie, the twins prepare to compete in the game’s first-ever global tournament. In this pulse-pounding sci-fi crime thriller book, the digital playground quickly transforms into a high-tech graveyard.
The excitement surrounding the tournament vanishes when a terrifying rumor surfaces. Players claim that dying inside the virtual world of Fatal Bullet causes a fatal cardiac event in reality. Initially, Touka and Yuuto dismiss the story as a hollow urban legend. They continue to play, confident in their skills as agents. However, the “bogus” rumor turns into a grim reality when three players drop dead in their gaming chairs.
The PSIA agents realize they are no longer playing a game. They are investigating a massacre. As the twins analyze the pattern of the deaths, they identify a chilling signature. Every clue points to a single mastermind—a criminal genius the PSIA has hunted for years. This killer has turned VR technology into a silent, undetectable murder weapon. He isn’t just playing a game; he is executing a political statement through a digital body count.
As you dive into this sci-fi crime thriller book, the stakes reach a breaking point. Touka and her team must enter the simulation to confront the killer on his own turf. If they fail to stop him before the tournament reaches its climax, the death toll will spiral out of control.
The Virtual Mass Murder is the third installment in the Trigger Locked series. It perfectly blends the gritty investigation of a police procedural with the cutting-edge concepts of hard science fiction.
