[Psycho-Pass] Paranoia

The waiter slowly poured rosé champagne into the slender tulip cup, and the rose-colored liquid collided with the cup body, creating strings of delicate bubbles like strings of pearl necklaces.

Sitting opposite each other, they only had each other in their eyes, ignoring others and talking freely.

"Proposal to adopt an idol star as the prime minister? What kind of magical thing is this?"

"The public thinks we are incompetent. Senators have useless brains that can only be gutted out, and memories that are only good enough to be stuffed in the anus... Heck, I said, have they forgotten what life was like in this country 30 years ago ?"

"Parents always have disagreements with their children... We let them marry the good girl in our eyes, but the child has another true love. But we who have experienced that era should understand that the witch system is already the best girl. She chooses Those who come out in power should be worthy of the trust of the masses."

Ryoko kept stuffing the red wine stewed beef into her mouth.

Senators are not idiots, they naturally understand that Miko is not perfect.People who have been guided by the terrorist incident in their public opinion and thinking are completely following suit. None of them can propose a solution, and they only criticize the system overwhelmingly.

"I'm done eating, I'm leaving." After finishing her own food, Ryoko picked up the napkin and said.

"Oh, your hand is hurt." Until then, the father turned his eyes from his colleagues to her.

"Now I'm going to find my colleague." Liangzi, who was left aside from the beginning to the end, said that she also had the desire to talk, but the father who summoned her here like a summoned beast had no intention of communicating with her at all. .

……

...

When Liangzi returned to the official office, Xiuxing was playing cards with the executive officer of the third section.Because there are only two people, we can't play mahjong.

Xiuxing seemed to be losing all the time, he put down his cards: "I won't play anymore~ If I continue playing, I will have nothing left! This month's salary is gone, okay?"

The executive officer of the third class is a woman with a slightly childish face. She is very dissatisfied with the behavior that she can't afford to lose: "If you don't have a salary, you will lose your clothes! If you agree to play until eleven o'clock, you will not keep your promise. "

Xiuxing leaned her back on the chair helplessly: "I'm so sleepy, why are you so sleepy all of a sudden?"

Sure enough, the atmosphere here is more suitable for me, Ryoko thought.Since she came out of the correctional center, she has undergone subtle changes.In the past, she would only have a distant and terrifying feeling for the word potential criminal, but now, she has an incomparably intimate feeling for these four words, and even began to classify the murderer's modus operandi because she had read too many case files. Level, and know how to appreciate it...

This is the consequence of rising crime coefficient.

Xiuxing, who entered the correctional institution at the age of five, will he be able to clearly perceive his own changes and growth as himself?

And the other executives here, how do they feel when they face criminals.

Ryoko feels that they are more like her own kind. Now she has no interest in the outside world, and only criminals occupy her whole heart, which seems to be all her interests.

Soo Sung was the first person to establish an intimate relationship with her as a potential criminal, so it was inevitable that she would like him.Perhaps when she was still dawdling around and didn't understand how despicable it was to become an executive officer to avenge her personal revenge, he won the approval and trust of the wavering, lonely and helpless her with his open-mindedness and tolerance.

Ryoko saw the cunning executive pass by in front of the hall, and hurriedly followed.She wanted to copy all the files left in Executive Sasayama's terminal from him.

Just like Hashida Ryoji went to the abandoned area of ​​Ogishima before he was killed, Hitomi also frequented there and took photos. If the photos in the Sasayama terminal are the messages Hitoko left for him, in addition to the photo of Makishima, maybe there are also There will be something else that is insignificant but that matters.

Seeing the calm look of the cunning executive, Ryoko was determined not to disturb him with unfounded speculation.You have to wait for things to really progress before you can rely on him.

Mr. Sasayama... the way he died was so chilling.

Parliamentarians, young girls, children, criminals, what serious crimes do people have to commit to lead to such a tragic end.What is chilling is that it is not demons who make judgments, but human beings like the dead.

And such a sad incident can actually cause ironic public opinion on the side of criminals, such as "Let the idol star become the prime minister".

Having recovered from her embarrassing state of mind, she decided not to cry over the criminal's malice.She just wants to hold her head up and walk a path against malice.

"Xiuxing!" Liangzi called to stop Ping who was slowly moving towards the room, really happy to see him again.She didn't even think that she, who hadn't thought of him once in the past few days, would be so happy when she saw him.

Although his mental state was not as good as hers, it seemed that he was slightly tired and drooped his head because he was dragged to play poker.The dark blue windbreaker on his shoulders was full of creases, and his whole body was slightly disheveled due to disheveled clothes.

"Not bad. You can come and go freely, making people envious." He glanced at her wearily, "I said earlier, you are really a rare little sheep. Don't become violent, Ryoko. This is Brother has the greatest expectations of you."

Ryoko lowered her head and grabbed his hand and walked to a remote corner at the end of the corridor.

"Do you remember what happened five mornings ago?" she asked him.

"..."

"I still remember, I kissed you and ran away irresponsibly." Ryoko thought for a while and added, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

"I don't care too much about it. Relieving individual pressure requires intimate sex, which is what the teachers teach." Ping said nonchalantly and magnanimously.

"Intimate sexual contact between the same sex or the opposite sex can alleviate the same-sex conflict." Liangzi reached out and stroked his face, and he was stuck in the corner by her, "We are all taught like this—sex behavior other than for the purpose of procreation It’s not necessary, there’s no point in intimacy other than to relieve stress. But, I want to kiss you, definitely not for such a selfish reason as to relieve personal pressure. Touching you like this now is also... not for self-satisfaction, maybe there is, but Subjectively, I just want to get close to you. It would be impossible to change anyone else. I think this is the difference, I only have good feelings for you."

He was like a wolf cub driven to a desperate situation, his back pressed against the wall, motionless.

"It doesn't matter if you don't respond to me. I don't want to be intimate with other people because of impulse or to relieve personal tension. I identify and admire your way of being as a human being, your soul nature, everything, even you Your uneasiness, your dissatisfaction, your loneliness, these are the important reasons why I agree with you—” Liangzi lowered her head without confidence, “I kiss you because of approval and liking. It is because of you, not mine. reason."

Her hand slowly slid down his face.

He hesitated for a moment, and he stretched out his hand to hold her hand with some uncertainty—unnecessary intimate contact is considered to be one of the triggers for the turbidity of the hue, and potential criminals who want to restore the purity of the hue should try their best to avoid such external Stimulate.

"What a bad boy. He kept saying it was because of me, but he didn't hesitate to get me into trouble."

"Appropriate intimate contact can relieve stress and exhaustion. During the sensitive period between minors and adults, it will not cause an increase in the crime coefficient, just like instant noodles with zero burden."

"Who cares about that kind of value. Your words have deeply disturbed the stability of my soul, Yoshiko. 'I can't change anyone', this kind of antique one-on-one confession, I thought it could only I saw it in the Yuejiu drama 100 years ago." He smiled slightly, his childish face revealing very tenderness, "Is it because I have seen too many people who have no integrity? Or is it because I am too scumbag and immoral. You gave me a sense of sacred mission of 'If I don't take responsibility for this girl, she might not survive'."

Ryoko distanced herself from him: "I just want to make it clear to you that I never treated you like a toy that morning. I was very serious... and respected you. I lacked the consciousness of expression, so I left Of."

He sighed a long time, "I'm really happy to have such a heart. No, I can't say I'm happy, I'm really touched. Because 'no one else can do it except you' is a very high affirmation... For someone like me, who has been denied by witches since childhood, this is an unimaginably luxurious affirmation."

He took her hand, faced her palm, and pressed his fingers tightly: "The temperature of others, the warmth of contact, this is something that everyone will not refuse. Because people are very afraid of being alone. But, the relationship between me and Liangzi Half a world apart. If not for all kinds of coincidences, I would never meet Liangzi who lives in another world. If Liangzi really likes me, he will suffer from disappointment. Because I am just a person who cannot leave for the rest of my life. Those who go out are potential criminals who can only live in a small space. I can’t give you anything, even my soul and heart are denied by the miko, so... who can trust such a person.”

"I believe in you." Liangzi denied him, "You don't know how helpful you are to me. This world that I can't see, this world that attracts my whole soul, is because of your guidance that I can understand It embraces it and regains the confidence to believe in myself. I'm already a would-be criminal living in the executive's world, and it's because of you that I got into it."

She looked at him slightly sadly: "If there is faith in my world, then it is you. If God wants to take my faith, how can I keep this world from collapsing? You see the most vulnerable me, Then help me stand up, but now you want to tell me that I shouldn't walk in this world?"

He tightened his fingers, and he held her hand in the palm of his hand, and he could really feel the skin temperature of the same kind.

"I just like you. I like you who are denied by the witch but still treat everyone tenderly. You have the value of making me pay favor, so I like you, it's that simple." Ryoko finished all she wanted to say.

Ping slowly let go of her fingers, but he didn't say a word.

But she didn't care how he responded.

Yoshiko put her hands back in her pockets, turned and left.

He was her spiritual mentor, whom she admired so much without complaint.Believe in and respect him, even if one tenth of this kind of heart can be conveyed, it is already very good.

She just wants him to understand how valuable he is, that he is not the one to be denied.Just holding such expectations.
