The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

Yoshino Junpei ran away.

He didn't even thank the boy from another school who claimed to be "Purgatory Taojuro" who saved him, and he didn't care about the final fate of the three of Nishimura. He didn't care about anything, and ran out of the school directly.

...It seems that there are words like "the momentum is good! Let's run together next time!" from behind, but he just doesn't care.

Maybe it was because of the little bit of self-esteem left, or maybe he just wanted to get away from that place early, and when he came back to his senses, he had already run to a deserted small park near his home without knowing it.

The construction cordon that was pulled up a few months ago, the dusty amusement facilities, and the toys that were forgotten under the slide.

It's a place where nobody cares, a place of excess.

... In the end, I still did nothing, didn't I?Relying on the sudden appearance of "others" to get out of the predicament, I am still standing still.

After standing quietly for a while, he crossed the cordon, went in and sat on the swing, lowering his head to sort out his thoughts.

Do I want to take revenge on Nishimura and the others?

The answer is yes.

But what exactly is the so-called 'revenge'?

He obviously hated it so much in his heart, but when he thought of the method of implementation, he tied his hands and feet again.So I brainwashed myself 'I don't care' over and over again, forced myself to be 'indifferent' to those guys, and even told myself that this is a virtue.

Since it can't be done, it doesn't matter.

What a contradiction.

"Why?" he muttered, "Why can they just let themselves do what they want?"

"That's probably because the human mind is more flexible than anything else."

Yoshino Junpei smelled the unique sweetness of the dessert, he raised his head, and stared blankly at the young man standing in front of him holding the paper bag.

"Junpei, do you hate sweets?"

"Eh? Ah, I don't hate..."

"That is not the meaning of liking." Fang Shi Yangming sat on the other swing next to him, looking at the bag in his hand in distress, "What should I do, it will be a waste if it goes on like this, I always feel that I will be sorry for the ancestors. "

What ancestor?

Junpei didn't understand, but he was more interested in another topic now.

"Thinking is very flexible, what do you mean?"

"Hmm... For example, when you first met Mr. Iwakatsu, Junpei, you might be very excited." The young man with tea hair gave an example, "But after seeing him a lot, you will gradually regard him as Be part of the 'normal' and no longer feel weird."

"Does it mean habit?"

"It's relatively close, but the flexibility of thinking will also appear in the matter of 'breaking the habit'." Fang Shi Yangming said, "It's different from numbness, if you can feel the existence of Mr. He feels at peace when he disappears one day, which is a manifestation of very flexible thinking."

"Doing whatever you want?" Like those who bullied him.

"Generally speaking, people who can 'do whatever they want' do have a high level of mental flexibility."

"...That's it."

"Although that's the case, it's meaningless just like that." Fang Shi Yangming said, taking out a piece of white sugar cake from the paper bag, "Do you want to eat Shunping?"

"No, I don't need it," the corner of his mouth was still hurting, "You can do whatever you want."

So Fang Shi Yangming took a bite of the snow-white dessert in his hand, and thanked the god of sweets in his heart. After finally swallowing it, he noticed that the boy next to him was still hesitant to speak, so he probably wanted to ask him The meaning of that sentence just now.

So Fang Shi Yangming thought for a while, and said, "Shunping, why do some people have no scruples to show malice towards anyone?"

"……I have no idea."

He just couldn't figure it out.

It's okay to be scolded if he's wrong, but he didn't even do anything.

"Because they are free."

"free?"

"Yes, evil is freedom from all restraints," the same argument he once said to others in Xiushui, with a slight modification here, "we are taught from childhood to be good people, because once someone does If you do something that hurts another person, you will be regarded as an outlier.

But some people are different. They don't care about these things, and they will pay the price for a certain purpose without hesitation, hurting others, regardless of what others think of them, and they don't care about the consequences.

It is precisely because of this that this world and this society need the existence of "law" and "morality" to restrain the wicked, otherwise their excessive "freedom" will make everyone "not free". "

Therefore, we should not encounter the kind of villains who really do whatever they want and don't care about anything. Those kind of people should have been managed by society long ago.Fang Shi Yangming thought.In short, this can be regarded as a general theory in the general sense.

However, what follows is the focus of this discussion.

"Occasionally, there will be some special circumstances," he looked into Junpei's eyes, "Do you know why, whether in reality or in stories, the villains almost always take the lead?"

The black-haired boy thought for a while: "Is it also because of their 'freedom'?"

"That's right, it seems that your thinking flexibility is much higher than I thought." The young man nodded, "When the wicked do whatever they want, most of the good people are still waiting for a higher-ranking existence to appear suddenly and punish the evil deeds." "Judgment", but I insist on not hurting anyone. When the villain has achieved his goal, the good man is still hesitating, hesitant to make a decision, and unwilling to get his hands dirty."

Yoshino Junpei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to refute, but thinking of everything he had experienced, he suddenly couldn't say anything.

If he wanted to get his hands dirty, the methods he could think of were often not so upright, after all, he couldn't beat those three people head-on.

All that's left is murder... or something.

He cannot be perfect, or, in other words, not at all.

Because once I do that, even my mother will be bound physically and mentally, and she will be burdened with guilt and accusations of improper education, and will live her whole life in the cold eyes of the people around her...

No, not only that.

Junpei suddenly realized one thing, he was using his mother as an excuse to avoid his real thoughts.

——Actually, it’s me who doesn’t want to harm others, don’t want to feel guilty, and doesn’t want to be bound.

I want to be a good person, I want to live my life in peace and then die.

So, even if there was a 'death to everyone I hate' button, I wouldn't press it.

It's just such a simple and firm wish. Instead of ushering in the ending of becoming a villain, it's better to let yourself die silently in a dark ditch that no one cares about...

"Wait a minute, don't be so discouraged, it's far from hopeless," Fang Shi Yangming saw his thoughts, and interrupted in time, "For some existences that cannot be managed by the society, if they successfully arouse the attention of the society and improve the law Before, it wasn’t enough just to use ordinary thought patterns.”

"...Does that mean you need 'flexibility of mind'?"

"You understand quickly." The young man smiled at him, "That's right, instead of worrying about being right or not, it's better to just be a not-so-good person. Then stand on the side of the unfree, and look for opportunities to challenge the superior freedom." Launch a counterattack, but maintain the bottom line and conscience."

Just like those things he did in Xiushui.

...But at that time, under the special state of being 'allowed', he once abandoned all conscience and bottom line.

If Junpei knew about it, he would probably directly loathe and fear him, maybe even himself.

Thinking of this, Fang Shi Yangming put those things behind him and slowed down his tone.

"It's perfectly fine to 'ask for help from a friend' when necessary. It's not a big deal to use mean means. The premise is that you must have the courage to bear the things you say and do. Simply 'do whatever you want' is absolutely not acceptable." When he said this, he smiled, "Always let those guys know that life is much more difficult than imagined."

--difficult.

The young man who heard this word felt sore, and his eyes gradually became blurred.

Suddenly, the sky turned.

"Wow!!!"

It turned out that the chain of the swing suddenly broke, and he fell suddenly among the weeds on the ground.

After the initial shock was over, in front of him was the endless dark blue sky of summer, and he was stunned for a moment.

"……puff."

Fang Shi Yangming almost laughed out loud, but the next moment, the swing he was sitting on suddenly made a teeth-piercing sound.

"Oh no!" The dim sum in his hand!

The tea-haired youth who also fell on the grass had only time to protect the ones in the bag. The white sugar cake in his hand was thrown far away, and his head was covered with weeds.

"It's over, you won't be cursed... Lord Ancestor, please forgive me!"

"...haha," Yoshino Junpei couldn't help laughing at the look of the young man who laughed at him just now, "Ahahahaha!! Served it right."

My stomach hurts from laughing.

why?Obviously, he was still so confused and sad a few minutes ago.

"Did you let go of your persistence so quickly?" Fang Shi Yangming looked at the sky and sighed, "Please be a good person for a few more minutes, Yoshino-san! Also, we'd better escape before we are discovered!"

There was a rush.

When Fang Shi Yangming finally returned home, it was past lunch time.

He took a snack and ate it, intending to read a novel to pass the time, but found that Ji Guoyansheng, who was browsing the web next to him, frowned.

"There's a post... gone," said the warrior.

"Oh, it was deleted by the person who posted it."

"...What I said is clearly irreversible."

"Your point of entry is quite deep, but it's too heavy to talk about." Fang Shiyangming narrowed his eyes and smiled, and opened the post on his mobile phone that had disappeared, and as expected, there was a new reply, so he turned to ask the ghost at home , "Are you free tonight?"

"Ok?"

"How about accompanying me to meet a netizen?"

The author has something to say:

Ji Guoyansheng: No.

In the third episode of Human Wolf Village, Fang Shi Yangming's dialogue with Xiaochun "Come be a bad guy" is really amazing...

As for Junpei, the situation wasn't that bad (although it was bad), it was more like he needed to broaden his thinking out of self-preservation.
