In 2028, Cyborg Temporal Investigator No. 24 is dispatched to erase the memories of the leader of a religious group responsible for terrorist acts. While protecting a fugitive, he is discovered by the cultists, who mercilessly impale his abdomen and legs. The fanatical followers, despite witnessing his agony, brand him as a demon and continue stabbing his body repeatedly with spears. One man even shoots Investigator 24 multiple times with a crossbow, attempting to kill him. Ultimately captured, Investigator 24 is sacrificed by the cult leader, nailed to a wall with a massive spike and then savagely pierced over and over by a sacred spear. The spear thrusts through his body from the groin all the way up to his mouth.
