[Psycho-Pass] Paranoia

"I read the Tale of Ise. The two eloped, and there was thunder and lightning. So the boy hid the girl in the abandoned warehouse to save her from harm. But there are actually ghosts living in the warehouse, so when he didn't know, she It has been swallowed in one gulp.

——It must be because the girl didn't want to give up her bright future for him, so she ran away secretly.Her lover said she was eaten by a ghost.Presumably he would rather believe that she was eaten by a ghost than believe that she was no longer her.

After transferring to Yingshuang Academy, I immediately regretted it—it is impossible to coexist with my other self in the world.”

When she had nothing to do, Ryoko began to work hard to read the soaked diary.But even if the handwriting is complete, it is difficult to understand.For example, does this story have anything to do with transferring schools?

Ryoko closed the diary in confusion.

The new Prime Minister of the Cabinet has taken office. Although his father, who was originally one of the candidates, resigned early to avoid the limelight and went to a remote village, the news has already reported that his father was invited to serve as the Cabinet Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry.

Since I knew that I would be promoted to a cabinet member, why did I show a disappointed look when I left that day.

Father, he... might be questioned because of her potential criminal status.

The display on the side shows her various values ​​at the moment.

The crime coefficient has maintained a gentle downward trend in the past two months. Although she has been reading Quangong Temple's notes, she has received the opposite effect.Because she couldn't understand Quangong Temple, she kept thinking hard. During the process, sometimes Ryoko couldn't even figure out where her sudden thoughts came from.

Today's reading was steady at 113.

If you can continue to decline, you don't have to be a potential criminal anymore.Father can also be freed from her bad influence.

For him, the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet is a goal worth fighting for.That's why the father, who was never anxious, showed a look of loss and regret.How can one make the father of a would-be criminal the prime minister.

"Is there a bright future?" Ryoko leaned against the wall and looked at her right hand. The technique of replanting a severed limb has been perfected, although the rehabilitation exercise to allow the nerve to accept it again is unimaginably painful.

As long as the crime coefficient drops to 100, she can finish high school, study political economy at a higher education institution, and embark on a smooth road.

At that time, the experience of being a potential criminal must have been a stain and a joke to him.

Suppressing this terrible thought, she went to the kitchen to prepare a noon meal. In order to exercise her fingers, she had stopped using the AI.

……

...

Liangzi tried her best to pick up the rolled rice balls with her chopsticks, but her palms were numb after repeated failures.Because of repeated trials and failures, she became slightly annoyed.

Although she beat Zhi En by wrestling her wrist yesterday, in terms of the dexterity of her fingers, she was indeed much worse than before.Even the replantation of his own body is so difficult, so why did Mr. Izumi Gongji, who has a mechanized body, get married at a late date? Such a disparity in age will only attract criticism.The point is that being married may not be useful at all.

Realizing that her thinking was too divergent and bad, Ryoko quickly patted her face, telling herself not to think about it.

People in the official hall came and went, Yayoi didn't know how many times she listened to the music and passed in front of her.

Speaking of which, the interaction space here is really narrow. When there is no work, except for his own room, the executive officer can only hang around in this square inch.

After she was mentally stable, Ryoko began to notice that the low limit of freedom in the surrounding environment would completely cause normal people to fall into a state of depression.However, executives spend every minute of their lives in this limited space for decades.

"It's getting better and better."

After Yu also came here, Ryoko handed him the dishes he had made for lunch.

Because Ryoko found out that she had gained weight due to recuperating from her injuries, she requested that all the excess food be eaten by Shi.So he eats an extra serving in addition to the one he sometimes eats when he works away from home.

Ryoko didn't know why he was still thin after a month like this.Even in an era where science explains everything, why some people get fat when they breathe, and why some people lose weight when they eat too much, these questions are still mysteries through the ages.

"You haven't had lunch for a long time." He took the chopsticks she handed to her, and asked suspiciously, "Are you going to be like this forever?"

"If I could be like you..." Liangzi felt a little resentment in her heart, she looked at the lunch box with some hesitation, and now she spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, "If I were like you... I wouldn't ..." Those who don't eat.

He looked at her seriously, put down his chopsticks, and stroked her waist with his hand.

Ryoko was so startled by this move that he almost jumped up.

"Slenderer than me." He compared himself and came to a conclusion.

"Uh, there's no comparison..."

"Don't retreat, the fearless, mighty and powerful Liang Zijun." He held her hand, pulled her closer to him, and said softly, "Dare to do anything when you are behind someone's back. Distance. When did you pick up the bad habit?"

"Hand... right hand..." Ryoko was nervous about her broken hand.

"Don't worry, I'm holding my left hand." Ping stretched out his hand and flicked her eyes lightly, "Please don't look at me at this distance."

"No one has ever said that there is something wrong with my eyesight." Ryoko protested.

"Then there is something wrong with me." He covered his eyes with his hands, "I just don't want to look at you."

"It makes me think that you are hiding from a scourge..." Liangzi said dully.

"Fierce beast." He made a concluding statement.

Ryoko lowered her eyes in puzzlement. Compared with her friends, she really lacked grace and tenderness.But words like monsters...

"Where do I look like a beast?!" Liangzi raised his head and questioned him.

"No, he was just teasing you." His eyes were slightly curved, as if there were fragments of stars in them, which were bright and charming, and one couldn't help but listen to his words attentively, "You, you should also experience life." There is a limit, it will become boring after a long time in this kind of place.”

Liangzi didn't know whether he was too predictable or he could see through her, so he could say such a thing.

Knowing that what he said was the truth, Ryoko couldn't help but feel angry.Because he doesn't take himself too seriously.Didn't he know that she could stay here even just because of him?

Why is he so unconfident, thinking that as long as she can restore the clarity of her complexion, she will abandon all of this—including her approval and liking for him, are they superficial things that can be easily denied?

What's even more frightening is that what he said is likely to be an inevitable development.If she leaves here, how can she always like someone who can't meet again.

Ryoko felt her body trembling uncontrollably, and she was afraid that she would change her mind.Because she is not strong enough to control her future life.If even she couldn't guarantee that everything would not change, how could she swear to him.

He snapped his fingers next to her ear, and her sloppy look returned to normal.

"Don't be angry." He looked at him carefully, and said in an irresistible soft tone, "I was wrong."

"Hey, eat well." Liangzi put the chopsticks into his hands calmly and pushed him to the seat, "I only devote myself to raising puppies."

The author has something to say:

The sixth story of "The Tale of Ise".

There was once a man who had an affair for many years with a woman with whom he could not openly marry.This woman also loves this man very much.In the end, the man finally made an agreement with the woman to take her out one night and elope together.They walked along the bank of a river called Mustard River, and the woman saw the dew glistening on the long grass beside the road, so she asked the man, "What is that?" , so the man has no time to answer her words.

At this time, thunder suddenly sounded, and it began to rain heavily.The man saw an abandoned barn beside the road, but he didn't know there was a ghost in it, so he hid the woman in the house, and stood at the door with a bow and quiver on his back.He hoped that it would be light soon.At this time, the ghost swallowed the woman in one gulp.The woman yelled "Ah!" but the voice was drowned out by the thunder, and the man didn't hear it.

Finally, the thunderstorm stopped and the sky became twilight.The man turned his head and looked into the barn, but the woman he had brought was gone.He beat his chest and wept loudly, but it was of no avail.

So he sang a poem:

"Ask how you look, the body of white jade is slender.

Qing's words are like autumn dew, and I hate to chase the king away. "

(When you ask me what the white jade-like flickering light is, I should answer you that it is dewdrops, how good it would be to die with you at that time)
