Zankyou no terror

The action takes place in an alternate present in Tokyo . On a typical summer day, a terrorist attack occurs, and the only clue to this case is an Internet video in which two teenagers talk about "plunging Tokyo into darkness." The police immediately began an investigation into this case, however, it was not possible to calculate the author’s address: the criminals used an anonymous network to download the video. The search for the two terrorist geniuses by the police has not yet been successful, but they continue to post videos on the Internet in which they encrypt clues about the location or defuse of the next bomb in "riddles" or visual movements. An employee of the Tokyo police department, a former detective Shibazaki in charge of terrorist acts, is trying to solve their riddles and find out the true motive to end the series of terrorist attacks. Two mysterious teenagers calling themselves “Sphinxes” ( . ピ ン ク ス supinkusu ) (in honor of a mythical creature who likes to ask riddles), confused not only the police, but also the people of Tokyo, and their identities remain a mystery.

Good command of programming, has a sharp intuition and a bright mind. Often, it is he who thinks out the plan of the terrorist operation. Since he, the Twelfth and the Fifth were experimental orphans, they all had a short lifespan caused by the influence of a drug accidentally discovered by a pharmaceutical company and used to reproduce Savant's syndrome . The ninth died right after they shot the Twelfth.

After meeting with the Twelfth, her life begins to change. During the attack, Rice was in the building, but the Ninth and Twelfth helped her out, in return she was obliged to become their supporter and not tell anyone about their plans. Risa agrees to this, but the Twelfth reminds her that she is just an accomplice, but not one of them, if he says so, they will kill her. First, the Twelfth takes her for the same experimental as they are, because in her name there is the number three ( Jap. 三 san ) , and the numbers were used instead of names in a pharmaceutical company. But after a while, this assumption disappeared. Very attached to the Twelfth.
