PSYCHO PASS ZERO (English | Complete) Summary: The year is 2109. At that time, Inspector Kogami meets Sasayama, an Enforcer, and a strange schoolgirl, Kirino Touko. What is the truth behind the incident dubbed as the Specimen Case which becomes the catalyst for Kougami's downfall as an Enforcer?

PSYCHO PASS UTOPIA HOUND (English | Complete) Summary: Enforcer Shinya Kogami of the Criminal Affairs Division 1 encounters a strange corpse at a crime scene where he is heading with rookie inspector Akane Tsunemori. The bright red jelly stuffed into multiple drawers, with bits of flesh, skin, and bone fragments floating in it, evoked a sense of absurdity buried deep in his memory during his turbulent life as a detective, and the name of a certain man.

(NEW!) PSYCHO PASS RESTAURANT DE CAMPAGNE (English | Complete) Summary: This is the first spin-off novelization of "PSYCHO-PASS," which includes two stories: "Mugunghwa," which depicts the journey of a wandering hacker until he meets Shogo Makishima, and "Restaurant de Campagne," an episode about the cooking that changed the life of enforcer Shusei Kagari.

Let's say it is Sasayama's bday gift (March 26). That's the least I can do for the man who died for the plot! Sasayama, the man, the legend.

WHAT IS THE TRUH BEHIND THE BIZARRE MURDERS LATER CALLED “SPECIMEN CASE” THAT BROUGHT KOUGAMI TO BE DEMOTED TO ENFORCER?

(Requested by @rebellefleur94x)

This translation is from a snippet of the first track of PP: Zero volume 2, when Aoyanagi confronts Kozuki about the investigation he did on the Oso Academy faculty.

As I don’t have a copy of the novel and only relied on the audio track, I may not have heard everything correctly (apologies for that).

Aoyanagi: Hey, Kozuki-kun? (holds him in a shoulder lock move)

Kozuki: I--ow! Aoyanagi-san--! Ow-ow--my shoulder--that hurts--!

Aoyanagi: Care to tell me why you've been checking Oso Academy's faculty data?

Kozuki: Eh? ...Um, well, that's...

Aoyanagi: Spill it.

Kozuki: Ngggh...! S-Sasayama-san from Division 1 asked me to do it, since he couldn't do it on his own--!

Aoyanagi: (releases her hold) Do the Division 1 Inspectors know about this?

Kozuki: ...They aren't aware, as far as I know.

Aoyanagi: I see. Then, I'll tell Kogami-kun about it myself.

Kozuki: Eh?

Aoyanagi: Unless authorized by an Inspector, Enforcers are prohibited to conduct criminal investigations on their own. If the Chief finds out about this, you know what will happen.

Kozuki: ...The person will be held on trial, or something even more terrible.

Aoyanagi: Right. That's why I think the safest way to settle this is for me to tell Kogami-kun at my discretion, as his peer. Having said that, why investigate Oso Academy?

Kozuki: Umm, an instructor from the school named Toma was seen going to an abandoned area the day before the victim was found.

Aoyanagi: Toma Kozaburo...a licensed Social Studies teacher at Oso Academy. He's got a face that female students really like. He's even got a beauty mark under his left eye; kind of alluring, isn't it?

Kozuki: He may look like a doll, but I found out he's got an unsettling personal history when I dug up his info...

Abolition areas are areas officially recorded as uninhabited. These areas have neither scanning cameras nor relay device, so cymatic scan is not available and drones cannot enter. Because of such nature, these areas have become places for those who cannot co-exist with the System. 

Since this is an abolition block, there’s no relay device, so Drones can’t come in. Records state this is an uninhabited block, but because of that, it’s become a den of homeless people.

–Ginoza Nobuchika, S1EP1

The population depends on the area i.e. the block the criminal in S1EP1 escaped to is a relatively small abolition area whereas Ougishima, as mentioned in Psycho-Pass Zero, is the largest deserted area in the country. 

It’s not that the government doesn’t acknowledge the fact that these areas exist, but they choose to turn a blind eye on them as they find the effort of involvement unnecessary as written in these parts in Psycho-Pass Zero: 

“Why do you think they suddenly want to demolish Ougishima? The government has been acting as if it never existed for decades. Therefore, it has become a place to restrict Latent Criminals that we cannot take care of. Let them stay in there and we have no problem. And our department also benefits from that, right?”

–Sasayama Mitsuru, Psycho-Pass Zero: Monster with No Name

For MWPSB that was always short of personnels, deserted areas weren’t necessarily places they had to be involved with. Whatever happened was not in their responsibility just like how the department and the government had always treated the deserted areas.
