Criminal Record

Nino Sama, a virtual streamer who's made a name for herself in Eastside, quickly attracted a large fanbase with her superb gaming skills and witty commentary. She used her abilities to project her live streams to various locations in DisCity several times, causing a significant disruption to public order.

—

After receiving training, she has not exhibited any manic tendencies, and her level of corruption has significantly decreased. Meanwhile, her social circle in the real world has greatly expanded. Although she continues to livestream, her verbal aggression during the streams has been somewhat mitigated. There have been no instances of "stream hijacking" during her broadcasts. To ensure her combat effectiveness, MBCC staff and Sinners regularly monitor her live stream.

Mutation Assessment

Ability Summary

Her power strength is directly proportional to the number of viewers and the intensity of their emotional feelings. The more viewers and the more intense their emotional feelings, the stronger and wider the range of her power. Similarly, her combat abilities are also enhanced to a certain degree.

Awakening Signs

Based on her corruption and the objective time during which she became a popular streamer, it is inferred that she experienced a strong emotional shock two years ago, which triggered her awakening.

Corruption State

She has a moderate degree of corruption. Studies suggest that this is due to the long-term use of her abilities. If she continues to use her abilities for an extended period, there is a risk of further spread of Mania.

Arrest Records

Background

Role

Main Story

Events

Velvety Susurration

During one of her livestreams, Nino's audience cajoled her to call into the radio show Call at 3AM, the subject of an ongoing rumor in Eastside. Two days later, she received one of the rumored "Ghost Calls" in return and was pulled into the show's spiritual realm. She survived by chanting along to the voice on the radio like all the other denizens of that world, but when she felt herself transforming to be like them, she was able to run away and reject the radio's voice, halting the transformation. She survived in hiding until the Chief also entered that world and she saved them by instructing them how to repeat after the radio. Nino is freaked out by these happenings, and upon learning the Chief's identity, she frantically begs them to get her out of this world.

Nino and the Chief discover Eleven at a record store, but find that she has lost her voice. The store is soon attacked by transformed humans. Nino confrontationally stands up to them, inspiring Eleven to regain her voice and stop allowing others to trample over her. This causes the fake world to collapse around them.

In the second world, Nino leaves a note for the Chief before going off by herself. This world’s influence forces people to become obsessed with work and making themselves “perfect products” for their audience, and Nino has to avoid encountering a crazed paradoxical fan of her stream. While trying to reach the tv station, she meets a phantom that provides her with access to an enormous gaming room, filled with rare and classic games. Nino is initially excited, but the phantom forces her to begin streaming, and punishes her when she displays any negative emotions or disagrees with her audience’s demands. Frustrated, Nino destroys the computer room, but is unable to damage the phantom. It chides her for not respecting her viewers, and resolves to seal her away in this inaccessible space until the rules of that world transform her into a more compliant attitude. From her prison, Nino watches the rest of the Chief and Eleven’s journey, unable to be seen or heard.

Interrogation

Phase 1

Show

The Chief takes advantage of a rare slow day to check in with some of their subordinates. In the middle of a discussion about Nino's next livestream, all of the Bureau's screens are hacked, now broadcasting Nino herself, who instead of using a virtual avatar, is appearing with live video footage. Along with announcing the end of her brief hiatus, she openly declares her identity as a Sinner. This prompts the Chief into action. Swiftly arriving at Nino's home, they draw her outside by posing as a food delivery person. Strangely, she appears to be somewhat resistant to the Shackles. Despite this, they successfully Shackle her, quickly subduing her with the help of the Arrest Team.

Nino is brought back to the MBCC for questioning. There, the Chief notices that she has a persistent cough. She expresses a strong desire to be loved by the masses, confident that the Chief will also fall under her spell after watching her most viewed video: footage of her fighting Corruptors with her pixel sword and shield. Although she becomes more cooperative after the Chief agrees to allow her to livestream from within the Bureau (albeit under certain conditions), she still refuses to answer why she streams with a virtual avatar, especially one that looks exactly like her.

You and the city arrest team raided Sinner Nino's residence and successfully detained her. You agreed to Nino's live stream conditions, with the aim of studying and observing her slightly special ability more closely.

Phase 2

Show

Nino's stream goes as planned. Analysis from its runtime shows that her M-Value is abnormally high, and after she exits the room, she once again shows signs of strain. The researchers report that Nino's ability has a complex structure; its usage creates a large amount of uncontrollable Mania, which has been accumulating since her awakening and resulted in both her declining health and heightened M-Value. This only occurs when her viewers' emotions become heightened, resulting in a kind of resonance. The Chief gently refuses when Nino asks for more stream time. Growing despondent, she quietly returns to her room, mumbling about how she'll just have to game alone like she used to.

The Chief decides to check in with Nino's neighbor, an older woman who she once referenced on stream. The woman explains that Nino's parents moved to Nirvana to provide for her, but as a result, left her alone with her grandmother, who passed away some years ago. Nino used to be a shy and lonely child, but that changed when she returned from a trip to the outskirts of Eastside, the viral moment of her awakening that was caught on film. Upon returning to the Bureau, Nightingale reports that the Bureau's M-Value has surpassed a critical threshold, citing Nino as the cause. The Chief rushes to her aid, finding her entrapped in a dense, black sphere. As she spirals into a deep depression, the Chief attempts to free her with the Shackles.

While Nino's livestream talent certainly surprised you, what surprised you even more was how Nino behaved in front of her neighbor. It was as if the silly, chatty host you knew changed into a completely different person.

Phase 3

Show

The Chief witnesses Nino's memories: her parents' trips growing longer and longer, the depression that resulted from it, and how she found solace in online gaming. Her determination to break free from loneliness is what eventually resulted in her awakening, her power drawn from the emotions of the viewers she created by accidentally projecting the event to every device in Eastside. She felt the repercussions of the emotional resonance, but she knew that its existence was proof of her finally getting the attention she longed for, refusing to stop even though it put her at risk. Just as she feels she's on the verge of death, the Chief frees her from the swirling void.

After her power is contained, the Chief encourages Nino to try making friends with the other Sinners, sensing that her demeanor has changed. Just when it seems the Chief can finally enjoy a day's rest, Nightingale reveals that Nino's page has a new top video: a recording of the moment of her arrest, posted by none other than the delivery person who Chief impersonated. The Chief requests that Nightingale take down the video, to which she promptly agrees.

You successfully suppressed Nino's Mania and devised a new training plan for her. Meanwhile, due to your negligence that night, the live stream plan was leaked, and now you need to submit a 1500-word review report to Nightingale.

Emotion Checks

[Nino is checking the live stream's traffic flow chart.]

Nino: What's going on? The views have dropped so much recently! It's almost the darkest day in Nino Sama's live-streaming history!

Chief: ……

• Prompt: Maybe it's the homogenization of live content. Think of something fresh.
  • Nino: It's all because you had to put so many restrictions on my livestream subjects, even forcing me to use a virtual background! I don't care. You have to take responsibility and accompany me in my livestreams until my views go back up!
  • Nino: 😖😖😖

• Prompt: Do you need me to organize Sinners to watch your live together and give you gifts?
  • Nino: Oh? Is that even allowed? Wait… no! I see what you did there! You're just trying to get me caught for inflating my views and have my account banned!
  • Nino: 😫😫

—

[Nino slaps a material request form down in front of you.]

Nino: Ding dong. You've triggered a random task, which is to help Nino Sama fill up the snack cabinet!

Chief: ……

• Prompt: Junk food is better off with less of it.
  • Nino: Hey, that's not true. What they provide me with is not sugar, oil, and salt, but an attitude!
  • Nino: 😫😫

• Prompt: I'll grant you as many lollipops as your fans give you during your live today.
  • Nino: Oh? You think you are gonna win, don't you? I accept your challenge! Get ready because you will lose BIG TIME!
  • Nino: 😏😏

⚠ Naughty Kid

The things Nino would do for her live streams are simply unpredictable.

System Notifications: During Nino's initial time in the MBCC, she wasn't allowed to live stream. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got the chance, she sneaked off to the black market to start broadcasting, sharing the money and equipment costs fifty-fifty with the Merchant.

• Prompt: It's easier to learn bad habits than good ones.

⚠⚠ Hack Attack

The Bureau's network has suffered an external hacker attack.

System Notifications: Warning, warning. The Bureau's network has been attacked by a hacker. Entering defense mode. Please handle it quickly.

• Prompt: Ask about the specific situation

Chief: Tetra, what's the situation? Nino insisted on joining the countermeasure team. I couldn't persuade her otherwise, so I had to bring her along. I hope it won't affect you.

Nino: Hey, how can you say that? I'm a genius, how can I possibly slow you down? I can handle this alone!

Tetra: This level of attack is a piece of cake. Though… it seems that the attacker's goal is not what we think.

Chief: Not what you think? You mean, this is not an attack targeted at the Bureau?

Tetra: Yes. They aren't trying to disrupt the system, but rather, they're trying to convey something by force…

Nino: Hey, don't ignore me! And where did you get that idea? I don't see it at all! I think you're overthinking it.

• Prompt: Question Tetra further

Chief: Can you analyze what kind of information it is?

Tetra: It should be able to be decrypted. "Stealing other people's live stream signals and fanning the flames, you are really something. Here's your gift"…

System Notifications: Everyone in the room turns to look at Nino at the same time.

Nino: Oops! I just remembered I've got something to do. Gotta go!

Chief: It seems we need to give her another lecture on internet use…

⚠⚠ Surfing Pro

Nino takes the initiative to offer help in solving your problem.

Nino: Is the equipment quality much better today? Hehe, I have specifically run to a dedicated room to live stream! That's all for today, next time I'll broadcast from here again! Bye!

System Notifications: One day, as you are passing by the photo studio, you are unusually engrossed in your terminal. Nino almost hits you in the face with a door.

Nino: Why, isn't this the honorable Chief of the MBCC? What's wrong? You're frowning at your terminal. Did someone trash you in a game? Don't worry, I'll help you wreck them back!

• Prompt: Deny

Chief: It's not about any games, it's a procurement issue… Sigh, online shopping traps are everywhere, I wanted a Goochi belt but I got a Gooshi one instead. I was wondering why a good belt would break in one pull…

Nino: Online shopping? I, Nino Sama, am familiar with this! Come on, show me the platform and I'll help you solve it!

Chief: Can you really do it?

Nino: Don't you trust me? I'm a pro at this. If all else fails, I'll help you hack their account!

• Prompt: Hand her the phone

Chief: All right, I'll leave it to you. But no illegal activities, okay?

Nino: Let me take a look… You're not using the platform. This "AAA Quality Security Equipment Wholesale" clearly screams scam!

System Notifications: Of course, you know you've been scammed. See, there's a glaring red exclamation mark next to the message you sent after you transferred the money. You've been blocked.

Nino: This is too funny… Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. I won't block him. Let's just see if there are any clues in his posts.

Chief: What's the matter? Why did you suddenly stop?

Nino: This "AAA Quality Security Equipment Wholesale"…seems to be Miss Faye.

Chief: …I knew it.

⚠⚠⚠ Explore and Discover

Nino has found some eye-catching content to live stream.

System Notifications: Since Nino's live stream brought some heat to the Bureau, you started to regularly check her page to see if there are any violations.

• Prompt: Enter Nino's page

Chief: I hope she's not planning any new activities… Wait, what is she doing?

System Notifications: Nino, on screen, is uncharacteristically using a selfie stick for the live. It seems like she's walking down a corridor.

Nino: Expect me to play games today? Hehe, I'm good at anything I hit record on! I'm a prodigy!

Nino: Today, I'm going to take you on an adventure to a place I've only recently discovered, and I'm going to conduct an experiment there to refresh your knowledge on physics!

Chief: Physics…? When did she suddenly become an educational streamer?

System Notifications: Supervision System: According to the relevant logs, Sinner Nino has been warned by staff multiple times for streaming her games during lessons. It is speculated that this is a punitive measure agreed upon after negotiation.

Nino: Did you see that? This giant furnace is constantly burning, making everything around it super hot. I'm already sweating. Everyone should know that everything has a boiling point, where things will burn once you reach it.

Nino: Today, we're going to see how far a slice of toast needs to be from this giant furnace for it to start burning, and how far it needs to be to be perfectly toasted!

• Prompt: Intervene
  • Chief: I can't let someone who doesn't even understand ignition points play with fire. I have to extinguish the fire immediately.
  • System Notifications: You quickly call Nino through the terminal to prevent her from throwing the first slice of bread.
  • Nino: Hey, what do you want? I'm busy with my live stream. If you have something to say, say it quick. I'm leaving hundreds of thousands of viewers hanging here while I'm on the phone with you. It's getting hot!
  • Chief: I called you exactly because of this. First of all, that's the ignition point, not the boiling point. Second, playing with food is against the Bureau's regulations. If you don't stop, half a year's snack quota will be deducted.
  • Nino: H-huh?! Seriously?! …Ahem, it's nothing. My grandmother called me to tell me to go visit her, so that's it for today's live stream. Goodbye, everyone!

• Prompt: Extinguish the fire
  • Chief: I can't let someone who doesn't even understand ignition points play with fire. I have to extinguish the fire immediately.
  • Nino: Look, this slice of toast is clearly turning yellow and on its way to being burnt, right? No? How can it not be? Your eyes… Impossible!
  • System Notifications: After you temporarily shut down the Energy Furnace, her audience starts to lose interest when the toast remains unchanged. The live stream's hype noticeably drops.
  • Nino: Damn it, it's really not heating up. Why does this furnace have to break at a critical moment? I'm not lying to you! Why would I lie to you? The furnace broke!
  • Nino: Huh? What's this? Why did it light up? Malfunction indicator? See, I told you it's the furnace that's broken! Huh?! Why is it restraining me? What's going on?!
  • System Notifications: After kicking the furnace, an infuriated Nino is immediately restrained by the security device and she drops her selfie stick. However, her viewers are rapidly increasing.
  • Chief: Is this another record peak of viewers for her streams…?
