Chapter 46: The Road to Escape
Yuriko is a quiet girl who usually doesn't like to talk. Her favorite places are the library and the lab.
She likes to be in a daze in a quiet place, and all day long, oh no...... It's a full day of work. Her head is being carried at high speed, and she is in charge of the design and research of the cutting robot.
The library gives everyone a quiet place to study, and people come and go quietly. There aren't a lot of paper books here (because there isn't a lot of wood), most of them are e-books, and the new government prints a small number of paper books every day to make the bookish smell a little stronger.
She sits here and just loves the quiet atmosphere.
The people in the library don't have too many distractions, and they don't have messy ideas, everyone is here to study, or to work, and their hearts are relatively simple.
That's one of her favorite things.
Although she is no longer used to using mind reading, she still has an instinct to roughly sense whether a person is good or bad, malicious or kind......
"Mind reading", a type of parapsychology.
There are many people who are able to do some of the mind reading. Some experienced psychologists are able to speculate on the psychology of the subject by observing words and feelings.
Some Zen masters who are proficient in Buddhism, because of their profound skills and pure hearts, can also see the filth in the hearts of wicked people.
There are also some gypsies, who have a similar equivalent of the computational mind reading.
But Yuriko's abilities are different, and her "mind reading" is innate, a personal talent.
As for her psychic abilities, part of the current scientific evidence is that her brain structure is different from that of ordinary people, and at some point she will enter a strange state, and she can feel brain waves and microcurrents in space.
Based on these brain waves and microcurrents, she is able to use her own brain to mimic other people's thinking conditions. Therefore, she does not mean that she "reads" the thinking of others, but through this imitation, she guesses the thinking of others.
In the moment of her mental concentration, her brain works far beyond the limits of human beings. In this short period of a few seconds, it is basically more than ten hours of calculation for ordinary people. Thanks to this, she is able to make complex mental guesses.
The success rate of this guess is more than 99%, and there is basically no big error.
"Mind Reading" has a lot of energy consumption, so Yuriko will always be hungry, and she is a standard foodie. This is also the most embarrassing point for her, she prefers to eat high-calorie foods such as chips and chocolate......
Thinking of this, she suddenly became a little hungry, lowered her head, took out a piece of chocolate, and took a careful bite. This kind of food is a luxury in the Noah, and the price is high, so most of her salary is spent on buying food...... Buying a house is a long way off for her.
Inexplicably, she remembered the past, about ten years ago......
In fact, this kind of "mind reading" is not too good, especially for a young girl.
The minds of adults are chaotic and complex, and even if many people are physically unable to act, their minds will be filled with all kinds of criminal thoughts.
When she was in Japan, she would always hear strange things like this.
"What to show off, isn't it just ......"
"Big Bear girlfriend? Hehe, it's not like I'm green......"
"I stole her panties, and no one knows, right?"
Everywhere is full of bizarre content, ****, crime, fraud, ...... Well, some people who seem to be very righteous have filthy thoughts in the back of their minds, which looks very incredible.
Fortunately, Yuriko is very smart, she has learned to protect herself since she was a child, and she subconsciously stays away from people who are too strange. If you're away from them, you should be fine, right?
This is probably why she is not very sociable, because people's thinking is generally too scary...... She was afraid to come into contact with them.
However, there is one person she can't stay away from, and that is her father......
Her father had a serious tendency towards machismo and beat them at the slightest disagreement. In his view, their mother and daughter are his private property and can be used at will.
This is the traditional Japanese idea of male superiority and inferiority, and in the island country of Japan, influenced by traditional culture, there are really many people with this kind of straight male thinking.
The point is, many women take this idea for granted.
The young Yuriko can only control her words and deeds with trepidation, and does not let her father have any reason to be angry.
She hoped that her father's career would improve, and that his temper might get better.
How I miss the time when I was four or five years old, when my parents were harmonious, my family was warm, and there were no family conflicts of this kind or that. However, a few years ago, everything went bad because of a career change. My father was angry at every turn, and my mother was in tears all day long, and she had a faint tendency to depression.
Yuriko can only pray to fate, hoping that life will be better for their family......
But year after year, Lady Luck did not favor their family. Her father, who was constantly failing in his career, became addicted to alcohol and gambling.
After that night of madness, he finally came to a dead end......
"Yuriko!"
After school on this day, her mother inexplicably stopped her at the door. Her eyes were very complicated, which had never been seen before.
"I came back so early today!" The mother said with a slight hoarseness, she still wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.
"Yuriko, it's a nice day, let's go out and celebrate!" Her father was also =dressed, and said softly.
His face was a little haggard, his eyes were red and bloodshot, but he tried to put on an amiable appearance.
This gentleness, this kindness, has not appeared on my father's face for a long time......
Yuriko nodded ignorantly, that year, she was only 10 years old.
Although she didn't understand why she had to celebrate when the weather was good, she was still very happy in her heart, and she didn't notice her mother's abnormality, so she grabbed her father's outstretched palm.
At this moment, she suddenly felt an abyssal malice...... This malicious ...... I've never felt it before, like the ice and snow of the Arctic Ocean that won't melt for thousands of years!
Yuriko was stunned, and suddenly didn't move, goosebumps popping up all over her body.
"What's wrong?" Her father asked.
Yuriko came back to her senses and subconsciously launched a "mind reading" against her father.
"Yuriko...... I really owe a lot of money! I have no choice! From now on, you will belong to Watanabe-sama...... I really had no choice! Otherwise, I'm going to die, I'm going to die! ”
His heart was roaring, struggling, fearful and guilty, but he soon made an excuse for himself, which was death!
He thinks he has no choice but to get rid of his responsibilities and his guilt......
Looking at her mother again, her heart was full of gloom and sadness, as well as a deep sense of guilt, and she couldn't see anything anymore.
Yuriko lowered her head, with her own thoughts in her heart.
Watanabe ...... Who is it? She didn't know about this guy, but judging from her mother's reaction, it wasn't a good thing after all.
Her head spun rapidly, and she quickly guessed the cause and effect of the incident.
My father lost a lot of money in gambling and wanted to use her to pay off his debts? Otherwise you will die? What can she, a ten-year-old girl, do and sell for a few bucks?
Having said that, many people say that she is beautiful and cute...... What is that Watanabe...... Idiot?
A chill came out of her heart, almost making her unsteady on her feet. Yuriko's heart trembles, but she is very smart and does not show her face on the surface.
She knew that since her father had made up his mind, it was useless to panic, so he secretly opened his schoolbag and hid a pencil sharpener in his pocket.
What to do? What to do?
How to escape? How to escape?
She is only ten years old, her strength is not as strong as that of an adult, and she does not have any money in her pocket, and she has been pulled into the car by her father at this time, how can she escape?
Jumping out of the car? Suicide?
Yuriko really couldn't think of any good way, so she closed her eyes in pain, is this all her life can be......
"Mr. Yamada, my daughter brought it, my IOU ......" came the father's cowardly voice outside the car, he was always a pug in front of outsiders.
Her mother was shivering with her arms around her. Yuriko suddenly felt a chill on her neck, it was her mother's tears, and her mother couldn't protect her.
"Even if I run away now, I'll be affected by my mother......" Yuriko thought as if she had decided on her fate.
"It's good if the person arrives, and I'll give her to Mr. Watanabe."
The man outside scolded disdainfully, and he also looked down on this kind of beast who betrayed his daughter. He took out another IOU and threw it in his father's face, "Get out! ”
The door opened, and a big rude hand swept Yuriko over, a young man with dyed yellow hair.
He took a cigarette in his mouth and picked up Yuriko with one hand, with a hint of pity in his eyes, and smiled indifferently.
Yuriko saw his heart: "A little girl who looks good, Watanabe-sama will definitely like it......"
