[Psycho-Pass] Paranoia

She sat backstage in the dimly lit bar, drowsy.

Because the people from the MLM organization left after taking away the things she bought, because the bar had to operate normally, so she stayed to look at the store.

There is an old piano in the corner.

She played two pieces, and the guests booed contemptuously. Although she has great interest in music, she really has no musical ability.

She caressed the body of the piano. The previous users didn't cherish it very much, and carved many Dao marks on it.

"Kill Kill Kill" has a lot of repetitive fonts full of weird and twisted feelings.

But she believed that this awkward yet beautiful word must have been drawn by a girl.

A gray fur ball rolled in, jumped onto the keys, and stared at her with one blinded pupil.

"My good girl." She opened her arms to hug the fat cat that jumped into her arms. This guy must have suffered a lot in the past, so he looks so lazy now.

Its furry paws lifted the lid off the piano.

"Death, death, death..." violent and angry words were scratched on the cover of the violin, and Liangzi was slightly dizzy for a moment with the terrifying words full of words.

Thinking of what Makishima said before Wang Ling's death, he thought you were a more promising child, maybe before Wang Ling, there was a little fox like her who made fun of others.

"Look at this kind of thing, it's full of murderous intent." Liangzi stroked the vicious words on the cover of the piano, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "I must be a good boy. He must still believe in that kind gentleman until his death." Bar."

She let go of the gray cat in her arms, stood up and looked at everything around her, wine rack, piano, desk, and bookshelf.

……

...

"There will be no classes in the future. You only need to sort out documents when you come." Supervisor Ginoza buried his head in the work in front of him without even raising his head.

"What's the matter. The permanent supervisor is not here today?" Liangzi was holding a thick folder, and she couldn't keep her balance.

"A major event happened yesterday." Liuhe Zhong turned around from the computer, and she and Ping were on duty at this time.

Seeing that everyone's faces were not very good, Liangzi wisely didn't ask any more questions.

"It's really an incredible thing. Sade's banned book... Could it be Mr. Ginoza's?" He who opened the door looked at the few books on the empty table in surprise, "It's really, really, incredible. ..."

"Sade, what is that?" Mr. Ginoza frowned, a little nervous about whether Sade was something that would pollute the hue.

"Hmm." Yayoi pondered for a while, "The S in S and M actually refers to this person."

"That was originally the one hundred and twelve days of Sodom." Liangzi moved the pile of materials to the shredder, turned his face and said, "It's mine. But I haven't read it yet... Well, I probably won't go either." Look. It seems to pollute people's hearts."

"Ha..." He couldn't help but sneered, "It was a banned book when it was first born, and it's hard to come by now. Its value... the teacher doesn't have to work anymore, he can directly rely on bribes to enter the central government ..."

"I also...acquired them by accident. I was surprised when I saw them. Now it is very difficult for us to find the first edition of the 1984 book that was popular in Europe and America, but the original edition of this weird banned book can still survive to this day. I can't believe it. You might as well look at the other two, which amaze me even more..."

The other two are "The Joy of Evil" and "The Doom of Chastity" as companion volumes.Also Sade's work.

"Sade is trying to persuade the world to liberate human nature, and not to use virtue to restrain those preachers who naturally like blood and all kinds of weird hobbies. It feels disgusting and handsome." He said helplessly while starting to work, "However, Looking at the experience of the girl who respected virtue and brought bad luck to him, I really feel that she is not as happy as the girl who is single-minded in all kinds of corruption. The stark contrast of twin sisters is enough to lead mankind to evil."

"The Marquis of S is indeed immortal." Liangzi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.The Marquis de Sade, who has spared no effort to promote pornography and desire in words all his life, is also two strange books among all his immoral works. The 120 Days of Sodom and the Joy of Evil can appear in a book that has nothing to do with it. interest in her hands.

After that, no one paid any attention to her. She silently packed her books, while thinking about the brain circuit of the child who vented his anger with the piano.Looking at this strange thing, wouldn't there be a problem with the hue?

There are quite a few normal and philosophical translation books on the bookshelf, which are all brand new, but the few books she pulled out from the hidden shelf are suspected to have been circulated by many people.

These books are not only philosophy books but also pornography and love books with a strong taste. It is really difficult to classify them.

Ryoko shook her head helplessly, plugged in her earphones, and started listening to something else.

Speaking of which, when she suddenly ran to Fujima Academy during lunch break, she really surprised herself.

"Finally remembered to get the things stored here." The mysterious person in charge actually told her that something was stored here two years ago.

From this point of view, what kind of memory... is so frivolous that people can't believe it... She herself is also a standard idiot, and she never thought that there was a problem with her having a large blank memory.

It seems that I still have some brains, at least I know how to keep something in advance.Who did you learn from?

Listening to the sound coming from the earphones, she narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly.

……

...

He played with the razor in his hand expressionlessly, then suddenly turned his face and looked at her with a gloomy expression.

"I just dug them out from under your bookshelf, wouldn't it be nice to return them to their original owners?" Ryoko raised his hands to show that he had no malice at all.

"Heh..." He smiled softly, "I don't quite understand, that man, since he has already borrowed the book, why did he hide it under my nose, making me think that he will be punished if he doesn't return the book?" captured."

"Indeed, it's very valuable. You can buy any country in the outside world." Liangzi said, "Except for one of them, the other two seem not to be yours. In this way, you have earned back two. Really nice."

"I'm really interested in books." He nodded and frowned slightly.

"That's really good. I heard that Mr. Senguji was unlucky yesterday..."

"If Mr. Izumi Gongji was here, he would be able to see what happened next. Those helmets... could not have been made without him..." Makishima suddenly lowered his face slightly, with a slightly regretful expression Tone said.

"Fortunately, Mr. Cui is still by your side and can help you." Liangzi said comforting words, and left the backstage of the bar.

Seeing her, the ghostly cat leaped at her enthusiastically.She opened her arms and hugged its infiltrating fur in her arms: "What a good boy. He won't give up even if he dies. How long will he be troublesome? Although I can figure out some things thanks to you. But what is my obligation? To understand something that's inherently sick, even if you're such a good girl."

……

...

"Everyone is not energetic today. Changshou Supervisor, she witnessed her friend die in front of her. It was a great shock." The restaurant was empty, and the executive officer had no one to talk to, and it was rare for him to talk to her. a few words.

"Yeah, an important friend...maybe an unrelated passer-by in the eyes of the murderer...but in the eyes of her friends and family, it might be as important as the whole world. If the world collapses, one person will have A big change, maybe it's growth, maybe it's misfortune..." Liangzi poured wine in a flat tone, "Because I don't know Ms. Funahara Yuki, so for me this kind of thing is like hearing the Prime Minister's wife in the news broadcast. It feels like dying."

"Hiding a cruel heart under the gentle appearance, I'm talking about human beings... What a terrible creature." He shivered intentionally, grabbed the full wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

"It feels like you won't drink well..." She said suddenly.

"Occasionally drinking is good, but most of the time it's bad. I don't know if it's a peak or a trough today... Miss stalker, did you stay at home and not go out..." He was talking about Miss Hitomi .

"Miss Stalker...how can she count...I know one...Have you read Ise Tale? There is a story about a girl who is eaten by a ghost."

"Well, I barely know it."

"For the sake of her own destiny, the eloped girl was unwilling to go forward in the darkness with the boy, so she fled back alone. The boy firmly believed that she was eaten by a ghost, and did not believe that she fled back home."

"...This kind of brain hole is sometimes necessary to protect the perfect impression in my heart."

"The stalker lady I'm talking about ran away from a dark place because she was afraid of being hurt. She left the boy in a strange place and was raised by people who made their own decisions. The boy thought she died. So even if we meet again, I think this girl is just someone who looks similar."

"It's like losing the memory and there will be dog blood unfolding. Usually at this time, the hero who has lost his memory will completely ignore the original lover and start a new relationship."

"Yes, at this time there appeared a completely innocent and lovely girl who loved that man and fit his impression of Miss Stalker." Having said this, Ryoko felt a dull pain in her chest.

He was a little speechless: "It's bloody, it's a love triangle."

"Miss Stalker is a terrible person. Although she looks docile and well-behaved on the outside, she actually did a lot of bad things secretly, and she was able to clear her mind after the fact, deceiving herself that she didn't do anything. But when facing this new girl, she was afraid of being blamed by that man, so she disguised herself to be more kind and pitiful."

"And then..." He watched her pour wine for him.

"Miss Stalker finally realized that perhaps only by dying can she reunite with the person in that person's heart, and no longer be treated as a stranger. However, she is also very worried that the dead will be forgotten soon, and then the new The living thing will develop a possibility that she cannot overcome. I have been very anxious about it." Yoshiko opened the first bottle of wine.

"Time can heal everything. The dead are forgotten, and the living only look forward. This is an inevitable thing. Humans are horrible creatures with gentle appearance and cold heart, and all priority is self-preservation, isn't it?"

"At least, I want to believe that people are very powerful. Although Mr. Pervert said this, since he no longer believes in this sentence, at least someone must continue to believe it..."

She stopped talking.

He was lying on the table, drunk and unconscious.

……

...

My head hurts from a hangover.

He opened his eyes in confusion, and looked aside with a little confusion—originally, there should be no one there.

"You're awake." The other party rubbed his eyes and looked at him. His fair face and dark eyes gave him instant clarity, and he almost rolled out of bed immediately in fright.

"Don't be afraid, nothing happened. Because your wine tastes good." She narrowed her eyes slightly, and brushed aside the broken hair that was blocking her eyes, "Look, I didn't take it off. I just saw that you look like a dead person Lying down the same way, I think it’s okay to lie down for a while.”

"That's it." He breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized something was wrong, "But I seem to have taken it off... Did you help me take it off?"

"You must have taken it off unconsciously when you fell asleep. Heh..." Ryoko got up expressionlessly and left.She drank very well, but she didn't expect that his drinking was still bad.

================================================== ==================================

"Now, what are you going to say to me?"

"'How does one wield power over another'?"

The outside world seemed to be involved in purgatory, and the storm of sulfur fell on the city of sin, setting off a storm of fire and blood, ugliness and moaning.

It seems that this is already the interior of the gate of hell, the depths of purgatory where blood is molten, skinned and bones are peeled.

She was expressionless: "Through exploitation, make them suffer."

"After the extreme development of productivity, there is no problem of unfair distribution of resources, nor is there any problem of individual lack of material, but such things as power have to continue to exist. Miko is an ideal leader, but not an excellent leader. She lacks the limitations of human thinking Sex—the lack of limitations is also her limitation. Therefore, she needs to be supplemented by a human leader with a physical body. Such an excellent leader with a non-exempt constitution is superior to the priestess in value."

"The bunch of things in the witch seem to be able to get empathy that they don't have when they are human beings. It's like Winston who was brainwashed by the inner party in 1984. He loves the country and the collective wholeheartedly. But he didn't realize that as a The ego that constitutes one of the miko elements has long since undergone changes, and the miko... is really a good garbage disposal station."

"Because for them willingly turning their backs on themselves is the most ironic and worst ending, so when you understand what a witch is made of, don't you feel a little disgusted?"

"Probably able to guess what the basis is... unnecessary thinking is no longer needed. In the past, you once said to me that when you were confused because of your choice, after the woman you killed suggested to you to become the head of state To be assassinated again." She took out a pistol from the pocket of her woolen coat, "You have come to this position, so I am here to fulfill your wish for her."

He smiled: "Oh, your brain has been irreversibly damaged, and you should never be able to retrieve your memory."

The news was rolling and broadcasting riots in various parts of Tokyo, but this was just a small disturbance caused by a child who was wandering outside the shrine maiden, and it was not enough to shake the foundation.Great leaders don't measure the value of losses by the number of dead.Maybe they think that killing more inferior products that cannot survive the riots is also conducive to the optimization of population composition.

"I will never be able to remember the past. But I learned from others and recorded myself. As long as I read it again, I can know the past, although I can't empathize with it." She lowered her eyes, "I can even guess your motives... In order to see To see if I was one in 200 million bad, so I killed the wife of the former prime minister. Judging from the results, you seem to be really..."

The current Prime Minister of the Cabinet finally looked away from the news, looked directly at his daughter who was related to him by blood, and said with sarcasm: "Should we wait until now to confirm such a thing? In the turbulent era, it has already been confirmed... ..."

She slammed the trigger, and the bullet passed through his chest peacefully, and hot blood gushed out instantly.

……

...

"Obviously, you are not immune to crime, but the crime coefficient that can drop instantly makes you quite special as an individual."

"It's really not easy, you can see what I'm thinking, and I can't hide all kinds of thoughts from you, but you haven't refuted my view that people with exempt constitutions are a pile of garbage... ..."

Standing in front of the core of the miko on the [-]th underground floor of Nonata, she said softly and softly.

"No matter from which aspect, you are a very beneficial supplement to me. After all, you have been deliberately tempered to supplement me, so I have a high opinion of you." Miko spoke to her through Dominater on an artificial machine. Dialogue, "Besides, I, as a collective consciousness, is not the same as those with exempt constitutions. You only regard them as livestock, but you still regard me as a beneficial AI."

"Not to mention anything else, there is an individual named Fujima Kosaburo among them. He seems to know Makishima Seigo, why not send him out to invite Makishima. Makishima Seigo is at the top of the tower... "

"Although I know what you're thinking, I also agree to solve it as soon as possible. Now send the 'He Sheng Zongzong' who is being filled by Kosaburo Fujima to the top of Nona Tower."

"I will protect you here." She picked up the dominator and kissed it lightly, "Master Miko."

……

...

"I didn't mean to target you. But I have to." She walked past the body that had turned into a pile of plasma, and said softly.

So far, all the members of the MLM organization that went underground have been wiped out.

She held the ruler and walked up lightly.

"The people below are all gone, now, let's go up together." Facing the executive officer who went down to the ground alone, she said lightly.

Her body was stained with a large amount of blood, which belonged to others.

"Liangzi, do you remember me?" He turned back silently, and after walking for a while, he asked her who was following him.

"I can never remember anything about the past. But I recorded everything in the past, so I know what happened, and I can understand how I feel about you." She stroked the Dominator with her finger "Also, what I have been obsessed with, wanting to make something like Kosaburo Fujima have a corresponding animal ending..."

Her eyes darkened, and her voice became softer: "To make this kind of thing feel pain that no one has ever experienced... we must not let them die easily."

She spoke lightly like this, but bumped into his stagnant body.

She stood on the next step, her eyes became clear, and she looked up at him with a little doubt.

"Even if I remember everything through my own records, how can I still hate those people so much." He put his arms around her, and she was pulled close to him unexpectedly, pressing her face against his chest, "How should I put it... If I die Yes, I also hope that someone can remember me like this forever. I don’t want to be forgotten by the living as time goes by, and I want to keep the intensity of other people’s feelings for me...Of course I won’t persuade you that revenge is wrong. I'm simply jealous of the dead girl. Because when you're gone, I'll remember you as you remember her."

"Actually, it's not revenge anymore... I don't know why I did it, but I have to." She said softly, looking up at him.In the silent darkness, they kissed quietly.

"For me, this is the reunion with you after 21 years." After the silent kiss, she said.

He hesitated: "I actually remember a little bit, the night I got drunk... actually..."

She shook her head: "Nothing happened in the end."

"...It's the same for me. Sorry, I can only vaguely remember it until now. It should be said that my wine quality is really bad..."

When they arrived at the top of Nona Tower, Zhu Zheng threw down his helmet and knelt down beside Makishima Shengho who was stunned by her helmet.The body of the chief of the Public Security Bureau was torn apart, covered with viscous and unknown fluid...the fluid flowed from his brain.And Qiao Xing Shen also seemed to be hit by He Shengyang Zong's tranquilizer gun and lay on the other side.

It's all over.

……

...

"I don't know why I did this..." She opened the security bag she carried, and casually took out a compass from the pencil case, "I heard that you lack empathy with others, but you still have feelings for everything that happened to you of……"

"I thought you'd become a pile of meat moss long ago." He said softly with a slight sarcasm.

"Supposed to be, but Miss Stalker left me all her weird inventions unpatented, and I defuse the bomb."

"..." The sarcasm at the corner of his mouth deepened.

"It seems that none of us want to be represented by anyone. At this time, there is no need to debate who is right and who is wrong. It depends on who has the final say now. It's just that the bitch who killed so many people died so easily... ...She should have been allowed to experience the despair and pain that no creature in the world can experience..."

"Oh... You are so stupid to be tricked by her."

"Anyway, the past will not happen anywhere. As long as I define it, who can refute me." She smiled slightly, and the compass left a curved scratch on the face with regular features.The needle tip could penetrate very deep into the flesh, and she regretted that she didn't bring a blade, which could cut off the flesh of his face piece by piece.

"I don't know why I did it. Maybe not for revenge. But I'm not obliged to respect you, or to not insult you..."

Blood oozed from his face, and he sneered lightly: "You think your delusion is real. But what do you think that kid with physical strength like a koala can do..."

"So you were the one who injected Hitoko Kirino with the drug for cerebral palsy, right?" Compass said softly on his face.

"Fujima doesn't want to kill Hitoko Kirino, but she will tell everything when she is alive, so she must be injected with drugs for cerebral palsy. What does this matter have to do with other people? She doesn't even know what the drugs she made are used for. No idea, just a hopeless idiot."

"No." She took out the diary from her briefcase, "The motive, method and method of killing are clearly written."

"How can she be so lazy to write a diary every day, just to tease you." His voice was slightly disgusted, "It's really unfortunate, you seem to have overplayed the game. But ironically, I know she is True Lavinia, it seems that you have become the evil Tamora. It seems that in trampling us, you are trampling yourself, and turning yourself into a very hateful demon."

Her expression froze, and she suddenly felt that her whole body was enveloped by a heavy emptiness and self-mockery. It turned out that she had already become an evil and indifferent existence like them.

Her hands trembled slightly, and she wanted to get the medicine, but she bumped into something cold in her bag... Yes, it was the Rubik's Cube that she unintentionally brought out from the executive officer's room that night.

In addition to her guilt and self-loathing, she has a promise she must keep, a promise she forgot two years ago.

Therefore, even if she has become like this, there is still a last ray of hope left.

"Is it because she was bored so she forged evidence for fun? That's okay. If the murderer is you and Fujima, then you will get the corresponding compensation." She calmly put away the compasses and notes, "I have paranoia, brain The hole is big too. But I won't be obsessed with anything, and of course I won't be obsessed with what kind of demon I have become. Things like you have no right to disrupt the lives of people like the cunning executive. From now on, everyone You will live a normal life, but you are just illegitimate children born from the collective will to increase the crime rate. After completing the natural goal of crime, you no longer need to exist as human beings. Of course, you will never be born out of your society And human beings—recognized and accepted by your real parents. At least for now, this chain of producing sin-free physique and then recycling it will not be interrupted. Although I also know that this cycle is not normal, but...changes cannot be achieved overnight. "

……

...

After the riots, everything returned to normal operation, as quiet and normal as if the purgatory scene never existed.

The surveillance officers and executive officers of the Public Security Bureau were no exception, and they returned to their peaceful work compared to the riots.

People are strong, so they can recover quickly from a big blow.

For those with sensitive hearts, time is the best cure.

The Public Security Bureau invited Za He to ask the second professor to reopen the criminal investigation class.

Human society has been on a spiral ladder, because this is the general expectation of human beings.Although some people want to move forward, some people don't want to move forward, and some people think nothing because they are too lazy.

Although deformed social institutions occasionally exist for a period of time, they are quickly replaced by new good institutions.Of course, this "soon" is relative to the historical process.

The old year passes quickly.

Ryoko Sakura became Zahe Ranger's teaching assistant, and she came to the Public Security Bureau every week to deal with some matters, which also deepened her friendship with everyone in the Public Security Bureau.

"I'm probably a complete idealist. As long as I believe that people are very powerful, they can become very powerful. Although everyone lives with some heaviness and secrets, pain and depression are also things that cannot be discarded. But as long as you are alive, you will encounter the possibility of healing."

During the dinner on New Year's Eve, she said the same to Xiao Shen on the balcony under the darkness of night.

It was already the fourth year after the specimen incident, and the cunning was silent, and turned his attention to the whole family in the dining room.

The year of being experimented caused irreparable damage to her body, and her life was being consumed at an accelerated rate. It was because of this that she abandoned human compassion and softness, and had the consciousness to become a cold killing machine.

At that time, what pulled her back from the abyss of inhumanity... was all the soft emotions of girlhood.

That boy meant so much to her, enough to awaken human compassion and tolerance from her sleeping stone statue.

Ryoko left from the dark balcony and walked into the well-lit dining room.

She smiled gently at the young man who had grown into a reliable executive.

He found his true belonging and home in the first department, and he no longer feels lonely.

"The moonlight is beautiful tonight."

She confessed to the only boy she loved in her heart, as the end of her first love and commitment to each other.

The author has something to say:

悪德の栄え (the name of the Japanese translation version)——

The name of the book Makishima Seigo lent to Mr. Fujima three years ago.

Two of the heaviest works in Sade's erotic philosophical works are Sodom and immoral prosperity (evil joy).

This book should be really hard to get, the forbidden book in the forbidden book.

悪德の栄え and Chastity's Misfortune tell the different stories of a pair of sisters.In short, the more bad things you do, the happier you will be, and the more you abide by virtue and morality, the more miserable you will be.

================================================== ========================

For Fujima-sensei in this parallel world, leaving his pure sister as if she had died.

To him, she was a dead person, and of course he couldn't respond to her last hope of being alive.

Moreover, Chunmei also caused him a harm contagion effect. He was tortured by X at the age of ten, and he also felt the same (maybe it was because his brain was too big so he could empathize)... He naturally felt that he was super incompetent, so he wanted to The power to protect what you want to protect.Not a child's candy bullet, but a live ammunition made by the rights of adults in society.

The girl Hitoko is full of the feeling of "sister"-both Sasaoyama and Fujima regard her as a substitute for her sister, which seems to be the case from the nameless monster.

Chunmei is no longer a younger sister, but Tongzi is the new younger sister.This is the conclusion that Mr. Fujima came up with. (It's boring to lie to yourself with your own brain, he just doesn't want to kill Chunmei by himself)

The specimen incident as a whole is a catharsis and expression of the independent social outlook of people under the old social system that advocates abandoned areas.

[In other words, the unregistered people in the abandoned area do not want to be defined by normal society as happiness.Don't want to be represented.Because they have independent values ​​and ways of living. 】

Judging from Takahata's novels, Kosaburo Fujima is a person whose life has been covered by tragedy and irony.The family uses their brains to fill in the poverty of their own lives and the cruelty of social reality.

Born with neuropathy, the brain hole is too big to look directly at

(I like you, Kosaburo)
