[Psycho-Pass] Paranoia

"Wait a minute, the size of the file is a bit strange." When Liangzi was about to take out the data disk, Teng stopped her, "It's not just the size of a song."

"Yes, yes. Why didn't I notice it at all." Sensing that the other party's fingers were pressing on her hand, Ryoko felt a slight heat on her face.

He quickly let go of her hand, which made her feel slightly lost again.

"You don't have to bother me with this kind of thing." He was talking about the analysis officer Zhien shared by the three departments. Because his daily life is too boring, he also learned a lot from the analysis officer when helping Zhien do things.

"Although the encryption is done well, it is already an outdated technology. There is already a corresponding decryption method this spring." His body leaned forward slightly, all his attention was on the terminal on her wrist, and the shirt wiped her His face was completely unaware.

"Okay, the only thing missing is the password." He pointed to a series of audio files on the screen and smiled at her, "You can use the deciphering software to try one after another, don't worry about that."

"TheghostofChristmaspast." The top-down filenames are permuted into phrases like this.Ryoko was not good at crossword puzzles since she was a child, and I can tell at a glance that it is because Izumiyaji drew the cross-fill game with such answers in his diary, so he was deeply impressed.

"A password is a combination of numbers." He said.

"It's a birthday—Christ's birthday, Christmas Day." Thinking of this, Yoshiko couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and replaced Christ (Christ) with ghost (undead)...

"This year, so the date of birth is December 2091, 12..." Ryoko entered the eight numbers of 25, but was prompted that the password was wrong.

"It seems that the program that will be automatically destroyed after three mistakes... Sister Liangzi, think twice..." He patted her on the shoulder and reminded her.

Liangzi thought for a while, and changed 2091 to 2084. This time, the error prompt box did not appear.

Now, the list of audio files is completely open to her.

"Take your time, don't get too excited." Zhi Yu ruffled her hair earnestly, "I'm going to the office."

"I didn't want to hide it from you... It's fine to stay..." Ryoko looked up at him.

"I hate the past that has been haunting Liangzi. I can't do it if I want to look at her more. So, please break up with it quickly." He had already walked to the door, and he waved his hand backwards without looking back, " I'm a possessive bad guy."

……

...

"Do you know how the koala died?" It seemed to be a gentle male voice sounded amidst the harsh and noisy electric current.

"I don't know... things about animals..." Then came the girl's voice, slender and hoarse, slightly like a whisper, probably due to my weak voice caused by my congenital deficiency.

There was a strange hissing sound coming from the earphones, as if something was moving and then stopped.

"Makishima..." The girl's low voice was completely covered by the voice, but the syllable was still quite clear, and then she said, "The old man and the sea...? What a desperate story."

"Despair? This is a work that praises the strength and invincibility of human beings." He seemed to chuckle.

"Every time I read the beginning, I can't continue to read it. It is precisely because I don't know where the benefits are that I insist on reading it. When I finish reading it, I think it's just a satire of human beings that a dark-natured author came up with when he was bored. Meme - He told readers that people can be very powerful and can overcome everything, and then readers believed. In fact, he must be hiding behind the book and laughing - you fools, I just satirize you for always thinking that you can surpass God, But you guys really believe that people can become gods, you really are a group of self-righteous fools. Then such an author ends his own life to mock people who misunderstood him as an admirer of the glory of human nature... Really boring. "

She sighed, and with that sigh everything fell silent.

"Come out and have fun. Yingshuang Academy is a good place." After a long time, the man suggested, "From the closed cell to the bizarre world prison, you must know that even lazy koalas will find their own way when they grow up." After that, he left his mother and looked for his own territory.

"Are there interesting humans, are there interesting stories, and this time there are sweet and sour cakes. However, even those are meaningless. Then why am I still alive? It seems that I can't really Beyond life and death, if I think about it this way, I didn't lose hope and was looking forward to something... But, will there be something I'm looking forward to in that place..."

"I don't know...I can't know everything. There is an interesting man there. That man may have an interesting story. Maybe he can make a good strawberry cake. Do you want to go to such a thing? Make sure."

"Everyone is using fingernail-sized happiness to cover up the numbness of their hearts. I am tired of this kind of repetition... I am also tired of this world... But, if you are so incompetent, I can help you If I relieve my boredom a little bit, I'd be more than willing to burn out..."

……

...

Ryoko took off the earphones, and now some conjectures have been confirmed.

The question is, where is Quangong Temple now.Will there be a murderer who is so considerate and leaves clues for people to solve the mystery?It is completely incomprehensible why Quangong Temple noticed her and guided her through the places she used to go.

Now she has no idea of ​​killing a murderer at all.She knew that the murderer was a flawed person who had no empathy for his fellow human victims, and even if he killed them, they would have no real remorse.No matter what they do, there will be no real repentance for them.

On the contrary, if you kill them, you will turn yourself into the same murderous beast.

Faced with such a person, Ryoko felt tired and powerless.

A murderer who admits his flaws while possessing normal logic is in a sense invincible.But what is chilling is that people who are also normal people actually think that the specimen incident is instructive. Recently, there are many imitated murder cases in various places.

The so-called black humor is the self-sarcasm of a cynic who finds himself so small that he has no choice but to obey the world in despair in an absurd living environment.The so-called "humor under the gallows", the satirist himself will not have the slightest positive attempt.

But why is he who has understood this for a long time and is so depressed now?

Liangzi felt scared... At some point, all her thoughts were focused on the murderer——Izumi Gongsi.

In fact, Quangong Temple may not be the murderer.But besides Kosaburo Fujima, who was convicted of a crime, and Makishima, who was suspicious, she only saw Izumi Gongji.

This is the scary thing - she is not chasing the murderer at all, she is simply interested in Quangong Temple.

In particular, Quan Gongsi Jun's evaluation of Hemingway that I heard just now.

Yoshiko could no longer feel identified.Ryoko has disliked all writers since she was a child, including George Orwell, who is respected for his objectivity and insight.

Politicians use lies to cover up the truth, and writers use lies to expose the truth.

What both have in common is a mouth full of lies.

Literary writers, in particular, use all sorts of narrative tricks to carry private goods, implying readers that their behavior is really quite despicable.

So the books Liangzi read most are physics and chemistry textbooks, and her literary attainment is quite low.

She clicked on the second audio.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight." It was still a girl's low voice.

"There is a line in Wilde's "Salome" that 'the moon is looking for the dead'." It can be heard that the conversation is another man.And Ryoko was sure she had attended his lessons.

"Can the moon kill people? I heard that in the nursery rhyme of the robin, every once in a while, the moon will pick a bird to judge. Of course, being judged means death. Although the robin is loved by everyone, it is still inexplicable It’s dead. It’s said that the executioner was a sparrow.”

"So... the sparrow will be judged in the next round..." The man's voice was too low to hear his next words clearly.

"Heh... Has anyone seen that the sparrow killed it? I don't know, there is no way to confirm it... You no longer treat me like a stranger, just to say such things to me..."

The noise became louder, and it was impossible to hear the next words clearly.However, the crisp sound that seemed to hit the face was still clear.

The sound of the current is a little smaller.

"...Like a beast." The other party's voice was slightly chilly.

In stark contrast is the girl's optimistic tone: "As long as I can still feel that the moonlight is good, no matter what you think of me, I'm fine."

……

...

A message from the terminal made Ryoko pause the audio—it was a message from the bar she went to a few hours ago, saying that she had accidentally sold alcohol that was not for sale, so she hoped to buy it back.

Ryoko looked at the table, the foreign wine lying in the wooden box, with a white ribbon tied around the neck of the bottle, there was nothing special about it.

It's useless to keep it, just find a chance to send it back.She doesn't really want to go to that place anymore, and she doesn't want to study Quangong Temple, which has some flaws.

How difficult it is to be a person without flaws, you can understand after reading the entire diary of Quan Gongsi who can only take pleasure in the pain of others.

Ryoko is determined to break up with the past.As for the father, there will always be a solution.She is not made to be a politician, and she knows that she cannot bear the responsibilities commensurate with power.

In this way, isn't it clear what she can do?The mind blinded by the fog is really stiff.To stay here as a person with a normal crime coefficient, she just needs to become a surveillance officer.

The author has something to say:

Koalas sleep 24 hours out of 22 hours and chew eucalyptus leaves for two hours. (Xingjiang...you are such a brat in my heart)

The koalas that died naturally were all dropped to death, falling down with a bang and bursting.

The princess imprisoned in the tower - this is the status quo of Xingjiang

Let the prince save the princess, a stable fairy tale.
