[Psycho-Pass] Paranoia

"I heard you're back in Tokyo. It's good to see you again. You'll come to school next week, right? It's so boring without you. I don't want to participate in anything except club activities.

Where do you think I am now?You should have guessed that I managed to escape again.By the way, do you want to 'date' with me?I'll tell you my terminal password, can you use GPS to find me? "

Yoshiko clutched her phone and read the email one last time—personal items were not allowed in the place she was going.

This is the last email from Hitomi.She would often leave school in the middle of the night, and the next day she would show off to Ryoko that she had successfully escaped the surveillance cameras and the dormitory teacher.This time, Tongzi never expected that they would meet in such a way, they were separated by life and death.

If politicians are hated for lying, what did Tongzi do wrong?She just left school in the middle of the night, and if that was punishment for her youth and ignorance, it would be too much.

"Liangzi, mom and dad are waiting for you to come back. Don't be discouraged. You will be back home after a while." Mom took the phone out of her hand and hugged her. home."

"Me too, I hope to be back soon. Mom, Dad." Liangzi hugged her mother's warm body, "After entering, Hue must be stable soon."

"There are bound to be setbacks in life. No matter where you go, you must have the awareness of actively adapting to the environment, so that you can stabilize your heart." Her father maintained a refined and unrestrained image. It seemed that this matter was not a problem at all. He smiled Say, "Kids, don't think too badly about things. Whenever you do, you have to understand that this is not the worst, and the worse hasn't happened yet, so you can't fall here."

"Why didn't Dad become a potential criminal?" Liangzi looked up from his mother's arms and looked at his father angrily.

"It's to leave this honor to you, son. You did something that neither mom nor dad could do." The father eased the atmosphere and sent her to the police car with his mother, "although dad and mom can't go there to see you , but you have to always remember that we are still waiting for you to come back, so don’t give up no matter what.”

"Well, I won't give up." Yoshiko assured her parents before the car door closed.After the door was closed, the air in the compartment where she was the only one was immediately silent, and she was enveloped in a loneliness that she had never felt since she was born.

Ryoko is determined to forget about Hitomi.In order to be able to return to her parents and return to her original comfortable life, she could no longer think about her.

……

...

"Think about it, think about it again, that's your friend, your friend was killed in that way. You received her email, don't you know what she usually does?"

The person who questioned her like a hound out of control was the cunning surveillance officer who had obtained evidence from Yoshiko.

At that time, three months ago, he was a very organized and reliable supervisor.

But at this moment, he came here suddenly and kept asking her, his face was ugly and even a little ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, he hadn't slept well for countless nights, and his face was also covered with stubble.

Right now, Ryoko is a potential criminal locked up in the isolation room of the correctional facility.

Although they were separated by the glass of the confinement room, Yoshiko burst into tears after being asked a series of questions severely by this vicious man.

Immediately, an electronic sound reminding the muddy hue sounded in the room.After the beep, the room was filled with red anesthetic gas. Liangzi fell to the ground because of inhaling the sedative anesthetic, and the nurses rushed to 'invite' Shenya out.

……

...

"Well, what do you think? I know you are a photography enthusiast, and you are also a member of the photography club at school." Shenyue surveillance officer put a camera on the table outside the isolation window, and said to Ryoko inside.

Ryoko suddenly hugged her head and shrank into a corner, not even daring to look at the camera.

The camera is the eyes, faithfully recording everything.The same goes for Hitomi.How many good times she has spent with her, and everything recorded with the camera is a proof of friendship.

Why is this camera exactly the same as Hitomi's?

And why, the consultant teacher of the photography department is the murderer who killed Hitoko.She knew that Hitomi hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, never had.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." At some point, Supervisor Shenyue opened the door of her room, walked in and stroked her hair, "I thought you would like this, why are you afraid of it?"

"...my interrogation ended a few months ago." Ryoko said tremblingly.

"Yeah, so I'm not here to interrogate you." She put the camera on the ground, "The witch thinks you are no longer suitable to integrate into society, but you have the conditions to become a hound, so I'm here to ask your opinion. Are you It's because of a friend that you become a potential criminal, you should like her very much?"

Liangzi was determined to forget Tongzi early on the day she entered the correctional facility. She hugged her head tightly and curled up further into the corner.

"It's a pity. We also lost an excellent executive because of Kosaburo Fujima. I think I can understand your feelings."

Shenyue's poor and indifferent tone stimulated Liangzi, and she suddenly shouted loudly: "How can you understand my mood when you can say such things easily?!"

"Oh? So what's your mood? Are you trembling here as a potential criminal?"

Ryoko closed her eyes in pain, she just wanted to see Hitomi as usual on the day she returned to school, that's all, meeting, bickering, and reconciling as usual.

Most often in those days there was a difference of opinion over that person.

Ryoko would always refute and defend that person's pupil——

"Looks like a woman, and has a temperless look... Don't you think it's a bit perverted?"

After learning who the murderer was from Wangling Lihuazi, Ryoko finally understood the true meaning of the dead bodies adorning the idol venue-he was mocking Hitomi, who dedicated herself to the idol like a brainless idol fanatic. died.

Supervisor Shenyue will not let her go because of her silence: "What is your mood? How is it different from us? The murderer is still at large, but your friend who was treated like this will never come back. You Ah, there's no going back to the old life. Do you think it's possible for you to go back?"

Of course not.Hitomi will never be able to wait for her at school.

A young life should have grown up amid setbacks.But for Hitomi, this one and only setback completely destroyed her.

On that gentle winter morning, when she saw Hitomi like that, Ryoko had a thought—fortunately, she didn't go to look for Hitomi that night, otherwise the two of them would have died together.

See, no matter how much she likes her, she will not be willing to die with her, let alone become a potential criminal for the rest of her life, so she can only stay in the correctional facility forever.So she had to forget about Hitomi.

"She sent you an email that night. What would happen if you went? Maybe you could save her. Your motor nerves are pretty good, Ms. Ryoko."

Liangzi wondered in a daze, can the Shenyue surveillance officer read people's hearts?How else could she say what she was thinking now?

"Miss Shenyue."

Hearing the sound, Shenyue Surveillance Officer looked back in displeasure, and the little yellow-haired brat looked at her happily, as if he didn't realize that he interrupted her important work.

"Brother Ciao has no right to enter the isolation room. Miss Shenyue is the same as Brother Ciao. You are all surveillance officers. Could it be that Miss Shenyue opened this cage without approval?" The delinquent boy seemed to be provoking Shenyue on purpose. Pointing to this isolation cell, knowingly asking.

Shenyue is the surveillance officer of the second class, and she doesn't want to misbehave in front of the executive officer of the first class, even though the other party is an executive officer whose rank is lower than hers.So she had to temporarily give up trying to persuade Ryoko.

After they turned and left, Liangzi picked up the camera Shenyue left behind and held it in her arms.

I'm sorry, Hitomi.I, who want to return to my parents, must forget you in order to be able to get rid of my identity as a potential criminal.

She hugged the camera even harder, as if it was the heart of her best friend, as if the camera could convey her best friend's understanding to her.Although the chest in the white detention uniform was cold, it was impossible to receive any response.

Hot tears fell from the corners of her eyes, what should she do, what should she do.Tongzi is dead, and she witnessed her last tragedy with her own eyes.

Sobbing, Ryoko stood up from the corner with the camera in her arms, and saw the back of the person who was walking with Supervisor Shenyue, with terrible dyed yellow hair. If he was at school, that person would definitely be scolded to death by the dean.

You know, Tongzi once left the school to wander around in the middle of the night. After being discovered by the police, he was scolded to death by the dean.

She thought of Hitomi's cute expression and tone of voice when she complained to her afterwards... But now, Hitomi has been completely destroyed.

In the eyes blurred by tears, the young man with yellow hair inadvertently turned his head to see her during the conversation with Supervisor Shenyue, but Ryoko no longer needed to care about the image of a lady.Tongzi hates being taught to be dignified and virtuous by school so much.And the self who always thinks she complains too much, will never be able to hear Tongzi's voice again.

The author has something to say:

Once you enter a correctional facility, it will be difficult to get out.

Three years ago, Xiuxing should still be an executive officer?I have recently lost sensitivity to data because of my too much brain.

Finally, a normal girl appeared as the main character. Even with the same surname as Liangzi and Lanmao, I have to treat her well.

Teacher Fujima is too sick to treat fans like that (see Gao Yucai's description of Tongzi, Tongzi is really a very innocent girl)

Normal powder is like this.If it is a fan of brains, wouldn't even the appearance of death be superb (...As a fan of brains, I feel really slapped in the face)
