[Psycho-Pass] Paranoia

The bottles of wine brought out by Executive Officer Zhenglu were all empty.

In the official hall, the mahjong that the executives had not collected was pushed to a corner of the table, and the wine bottles were poured on the table in a haphazard manner.

"You can drink very well." Zheng Lu Zhiji shook the empty wine bottle in his hand, and said to Liangzi with a little drunkenness, "Brother Ji is the legendary one-drinker, I have never met anyone who can't drink more than him .”

He had already been poured down, and now he was collapsing on the edge of his chair.

"Since I was a child, my father often tricked me into drinking." Ryoko said with a little embarrassment.

"You have a good relationship with your father."

"But I always feel that he doesn't take me seriously." Liangzi stretched out her finger, and lightly flicked the empty bottle in front of her. The brown wine bottle imprinted amber light and shadow in her eyes, "Whether you accept Stress therapy or becoming an executive, he is indifferent. I once asked my mother if I let him down because I am not a boy. But my mother said that he was like that when he was young. Because he has no mother, so my mother always put him Treat it like a child, but I am their child."

"Do you regard your father as a competitor?" Zheng Lu asked with a smile.

"I'm not so narrow-minded." Liangzi lowered his head, "If he can use his personal power for me, maybe I won't be angry at all, but I will be a little happy."

"Speaking of which, most fathers are very clumsy people." As if remembering something, he stretched out his hand to scratch his hair and smiled helplessly.

Pie, who was leaning against the leg of the chair, turned over and just hit his face on a wine bottle on the ground.

Although Ryoko wanted to beat him up with alcohol, she just picked up the bottle and put it back on the table.

Maybe it's really because I have too little knowledge, so I like others easily.Yoshiko rubbed her temples helplessly.

Or maybe it's because she, like her mother, is prone to sympathy for people who lack care, even though they don't need extra sympathy.

In fact, Xie is much more sensible than her.

Even if she kept saying that she was just like them.But she, who can leave here at any time as long as she wants, is very different from ordinary executive officers.

It is indeed different, she can choose cake or bread, and they have to choose nothing.

Is she a villain or a hypocrite?Ryoko shook his head and smiled helplessly.

When the privileged see what they have taken from the common man, they understand that they are the rightful object of hatred and hatred.

This kind of understanding will either turn into intensified superiority and arrogance, or it will turn into... intense self-blame and shame.

Ryoko, who was thinking like this, finally fell asleep lying on the table.

……

...

She woke up with her eyes open, her head aching slightly from the hangover.

There was a piece of hangover candy in her hand, and she peeled off the wrapper before realizing that she was sleeping in the hall and hadn't brushed her teeth yet.

It's better for people to live a rough life.

She folded silver candy wrappers into stars and threw them on the sofa sitting beside her. Although she was holding a book in her hands, she was dozing off with her head down.

He woke up suddenly, straightened his back, and looked at her with a little dissatisfaction.

Yoshiko pointed to the star that was bounced and fell to the ground.

He had no choice but to put down the book and pick it up.

After a while, he put down the book and said to Yoshiko who was arranging her hair, "Hi."

"how?"

"You're going home tomorrow."

"Yes."

He raised his face slightly, put his finger on his mouth and thought for a while: "Maybe in a normal environment, the crime coefficient can really drop. Outside of correctional institutions, people who have always been normal should have the possibility of recovery." ?”

"Well, it would be nice if he could really recover." Ryoko stood up and walked in front of him. He wanted to be an executive officer purely for the sake of committing a crime. This kind of thinking should indeed be ridiculed by his father. His willful and willful life will lead to a life full of bitterness. It is completely in the late stage of the second disease.

"If there are more people who can think normally in the senators, maybe the potential criminals and executives in the future can...survive under a better system..." There was a trace of panic in his voice, and then he stopped abruptly.

Liangzi put her arms around his shoulders, and said softly, "You can be angry with me. You can get into this place for a while, but you can leave as soon as you say you want. Even I look down on myself."

"You hope that someone will blame you. But it's up to you to make a decision, Yoshiko."

Liangzi let go of her hand, took a step back, and said with a smile: "I've made up my mind, no matter whether I can recover or not, I will try my best to do what I can do. Don't take what I said before to heart, because I'm with Bubble The type that doesn’t cause trouble to people like noodles.”

He looked up helplessly at Ryoko standing in front of him with a proud face.

Then, he took her hand vigorously, pulled her to the same eye level as the sitting self, and stared at him: "Go and wash your face, look at your unbearable face, full of drinking all night long." traces of depravity."

As soon as he said it, Ryoko remembered that she hadn't washed her face yet.

She pressed the back of her hand to her slightly hot face. Since she became a potential criminal, she has become unkempt, and now she talks to people while chewing candy without brushing her teeth.

He poked her face with his finger: "It's blushing again, it's so hot."

"What are you doing?" Ryoko pushed him away.

He is overly warm to everyone, but he seems to have set an invisible line that no one can cross.Thinking of this, Ryoko felt that Pie, who loves all kinds of strategy games, was a difficult target to conquer.

"Don't be angry." There was a hearty smile on the corners of his eyes and mouth, "I just think that a girl who is originally very soft always thinks she is very hard. This contrast is really strange."

Ryoko shuddered: "You say I'm soft...that means you haven't seen anyone else..."

"Compared to everyone here, you are the limit." He tried not to let himself laugh more, "Instant noodles...do you really think you are instant noodles..."

Ryoko doesn't know what the point of the joke is. She has always been a serious person, so she can't stand being laughed at for her seriousness.She held his collar and put it down weakly. She didn't know what to do to make him change his mind. She was really not a weak person.

Under an urge to prove herself, Ryoko lowered her head and blocked his mouth.

Then she remembered that she hadn't brushed her teeth, and she left him and ran away.

Ryoko never left her room until she left the next day.

The author has something to say:

Ophelia and Portia are both characters in Shakespeare's works.There are similarities but differences in fundamental nature.

In the first part, Izumi Gongji killed his dissatisfied parents in a hidden way when he was ten years old, but at the same time he awakened his moral sense as a human being (Freud's superego).Because she has already lost at the source of morality, she can only give up on herself.

The current Liangzi is similar to her but completely different. Although she is not a sin-free physique, Liangzi has been able to believe in herself from beginning to end.
