The Most Beautiful Boy In Tokyo

At dusk, the city stops from the busyness of the day. The colorful clouds are wandering around in the sky. The trees beside the wide sidewalks are undulating and rolling like waves blown by the wind. The tall CBD office buildings are constantly shrinking the sky and the earth. In the distance between them, the lights on Tokyo Tower lit up, and the signal current bloomed red, guiding the passenger plane to roar through the thick rain clouds.

A string of children's laughter came from the narrow embankment on the roadside. As the breeze gradually drifted away, Tokyo is a busy city, but sometimes it can be as quiet as an old man in the evening under the orange clouds. The roadside The walking people are chasing their own lives in his wrinkles. The forest of time grows in everyone's heart. Some people get lost in it and some people meet in it.

Light rain pattered all over the window sill of the ward, and the spring greenery poured in unstoppably, climbing up the young man's brow along the mottled window shadow. Raindrops dripped from the green leaves, and the coolness penetrated into the warm bed, so he Waking up from the dream.

When you open your eyes, you will see the white ceiling.

Yu Xian childishly turned his head and looked quietly at the woman in red dress sitting beside the bed. Her charming face was a bit haggard, and her warm big hand was holding his own hand, but it was held in an unnatural way, with five fingers interlocked.

"Are you awake?" Rina Ryoko's voice was very soft.

"Get out." Yuxian Zhisheng broke away from her hand.

He had no good impression of this woman, and even felt a little disgusted with it. This was the second time he fell asleep. When he woke up for the first time, he opened his eyes and saw Principal Sawano. Yu Xianzhisheng said, Yukiko is coming to pick me up after school. , I want to go home with her.

Then his head tilted and he fell asleep again.

His mind felt as heavy as if it had been stuffed with lead oil. Overwork made him unable to control his consciousness. During the long and endless sleep, various strange and disillusioning dreams intertwined, and his brain ached in waves.

When I woke up again, Xuezi was still missing.

He listened to the rain outside the window, turned over, and closed his eyes in silence.

"Principal Sawano has already gone to pick her up and will be here soon." Rina Ryoko said, "You are getting an intravenous drip. You kept reaching out in your dream just now. I held your hand to prevent the intravenous drip from hurting the tendons. There is no other way. the meaning of."

"Can you go away?" Yu Xian said in a low voice.

In the dim rain, half of Rina Ryoko's face was in shadow. She stood up and closed the window a little smaller so that Yuzuru would not feel the cold.

She walked out, closed the door gently, and walked to the consultation room.

Yu Xian's child underwent a series of X-ray physical examinations while sleeping.

It was mainly a brain examination. The doctors who consulted were all experts. Rina Ryoko was very willing to spend money on this. Although the doctors said that this was just normal overwork, the child was still young, so there was no need to specialize. Have a physical exam.

Rina Ryoko bowed to them and said it was better to do it. After doing it, I felt relieved.

The physical examination report was out, Rina Ryoko was sitting in the consultation room, and the doctors were sitting opposite her respectfully.

"Thank you for persisting in the physical examination. Now let's talk in words you can understand. We found that this child's brain has a certain degree of damage, mainly from the pons to the medulla oblongata. This degree of injury is only possible after a heavy blow. Formed, or if you hit a sharp object after falling, normally you will not survive..."

The oldest doctor coughed twice and asked, "Have this child ever been hit or seriously injured when he was a child? Domestic violence is also within this range. Please tell us the truth."

Rina Ryoko looked solemn and shook her head slowly.

She didn't know Yu Xian's childish past. The only thing she knew was that he was brought back from the orphanage by Yukiko Miyamoto.

"Do you need treatment?" she asked softly.

"We suggest that it is better to observe for a few days. If this child has been able to live a normal life, there is no problem in general. Since he can wake up twice and his consciousness is clear, the brain injury in his childhood must not have brought much harm to him. Impact. In a sense, this child is very lucky, probably to the extent that his whole body fell into hell and climbed out."

"Then I'll excuse you." Rina Ryoko stood up and bowed one by one.

"By the way, please don't tell others about this matter. I only need to know about it. After all, I don't want my family to worry." Rina Ryoko said with a smile, her red lips slightly raised.

"You can rest assured on this." The consulting doctors stood up and returned the greeting.

"Wait a moment, I have something to tell you." The old doctor stopped Rina Ryoko.

The two of them walked to a deserted place, and the old doctor spoke his inner thoughts seriously: "At present, we do not rule out the possibility that this child has schizophrenia. Generally speaking, schizophrenia is mostly caused by psychological factors, but If there is a brain problem, his consciousness may also be abnormal. You can stay with him more to prevent him from losing control of his mood one day in the future."

"I understand." Rina Ryoko thought for a moment and nodded.

The old doctor turned around and returned to the consultation room. The young doctor smiled and handed over a seaweed rice ball. Everyone had been busy since noon and hadn't eaten yet. They were all discussing the X-ray picture of the child.

"Thank you." The old doctor took the rice ball and started chewing it while flipping through the information.

"It's very similar, right?" the young doctor said, looking at the X-ray film in his hand.

"It's indeed very similar. Get the information about the girl from Shenhui's family." The old doctor ordered another female doctor.

"Which information?" The female doctor brought a pile of information.

"This is the first centralized consultation of brain experts in Tokyo." The old doctor swallowed the rice ball, took the barley tea handed over by the young doctor and drank it in one gulp, sighing in comfort.

The data was called up and played on the big screen through projection. This was the X-ray data of the girl's brain. The young doctor held the X-ray film named Yuxian Zhisheng in his hand and pasted it on the side of the screen for comparison.

"It's very similar, almost exactly the same." The young doctor sighed.

"A girl from the Shenhui family?" the female doctor asked in confusion, "Who is she?"

"Ah, don't you watch the figure skating competition?" the young doctor asked with a smile, "You don't even know about the colored glaze of Shenhui. You are a bit ignorant."

"I prefer baseball to figure skating." The female doctor said angrily, "And when did you go to the Central District with your teacher for expert consultation? Why didn't you inform me?"

"Didn't you go to the baseball game between Yakult and the Swallows in those days? We don't want to disturb you during this rare holiday." The young doctor said, "And we also received a short notice."

"Is Shenhui Liuli sick?" The female doctor pointed to her forehead.

"No, we were informed by the Central District Police Department."

The female doctor blinked: "What does this have to do with the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Chief Kaga of the Central District Serious Case Investigation Team has been looking for evidence that can convict Kame no Ruri, but the polygraph has been used five times, and no relevant evidence has been found during on-site inspections. The pressure of public opinion within the police station It's very big, he is currently facing suspension, the scientific path is unavailable, and he plans to try the medical path."

"Convict Shenhui Liuli?" The female doctor opened her mouth in surprise, "Why?"

"Have you never heard of the recent urban legend of witches?" the young doctor asked with a smile, "Many girls have been severely psychologically damaged because of that witch, and their lives have been ruined."

"I've heard about it, but I can't relate it to Shenhui Liuli. Although I don't watch figure skating competitions, I also know that she is a national-level figure skater."

“What’s more, even though it’s a ‘witch legend’, the murderer might be a man.”

"I think it's quite funny anyway." The young doctor shrugged, "The police chief named Kaga must have gone crazy trying to solve the case. He actually listed Ruri-chan on the list of suspects. Her life is so brilliant, why? It’s impossible to do such a dirty thing even if you think about it.”

"Are you a fan of hers?"

"It's impossible for a slightly normal man not to be interested in that witch on the ice, right?"

"Bah! You are just greedy for beauty!" The female doctor made a beating gesture with her fists.

"Are there any more rice balls?" The old doctor didn't even raise his head.

"Yes." The female doctor stretched out her hand and handed it over.

The seaweed rice balls are very fragrant, the glutinous rice is just soft, and the pork bone filling inside is crunchy when chewed. When paired with the warm barley tea, it is simply a masterpiece.

"The brain defects of these two people are very similar." The old doctor bit his rice ball and looked up at the two apprentices, "Both have the possibility of schizophrenia."

"During the expert consultation on Shenhui Liuli, we considered the possibility that she had a second personality. However, as far as the current investigation is concerned, Shenhui Liuli's mental state has always been very stable. Low-frequency rhythmic activity was also normal, and no dissociative state was induced."

"Assuming that Shenhui Liuli is a suspect, this case is basically unsolvable, unless we can find a catalyst that can induce the emergence of her second personality." The old doctor finished the rice ball in his hand, "Otherwise we will never be able to see her The other side of it.”

Catalyst is a word that often appears in schizophrenia. It is similar to a mental switching agent that can change a person's state to another state. The catalysts of each patient with mental illness are very different. Some people's catalysts are very different. It's medicine, and some people might be a cat.

"Teacher, do you also doubt the divine painting of Liuli?" the young doctor asked curiously.

"It's not a suspicion, but an investigation clue given by medicine. Sheriff Kaga is the top detective in Tokyo Chuo District. We have to believe in his premonition ability, just like we believe in the results of medical diagnosis. Kami Ezuki Liuli’s brain is indeed abnormal, this is an indisputable fact.”

The young doctor looked sideways at Yu Xian's naive X-ray and said with a smile: "This child is so similar to her, does he also have his own catalyst?"

"He looks like a harmless child." The old doctor stretched contentedly. "He is also good-looking. When he sleeps, he looks like the frozen prince in the fairy tale. But I am also curious. If he If there is really a mental or psychological abnormality, then what can be his catalyst?"

...

The door was pushed open.

Miyamoto Yukiko appeared at the door of the ward.

Yu Xian, who was carrying his back, seemed to sense something. He turned around and stared at Xuezi, whose face was full of tears.

At this moment, the dim rain shadow in the room receded, and the boring sound of rain outside the window became full of vitality. The gears of the world were turning in his chest again, loneliness and sadness were gone, and darkness shrank into his eyes. Deep in the depths, a warm light appeared in his eyes.

"Xuezi, you finally came to take me home."

Yu Xian sat up effortlessly and opened his arms to her with a smile.
