As long as Zhixing calls again, or the witch feels that Zhixing's situation is not right, she will appear again.

It should have been like this

Zhixing blinked, not surprised to find himself running from Sakura's house to the street outside again.

But...why can we see stand-ins next to these passers-by?

Chapter 240 The Unusable World of Cognition

Human figures, shadows, monster faces, images that slightly pop out from behind people.

Isn’t it just a substitute?

Zhi Xing couldn't help but sigh as he watched the shadowy images of cognition gradually fade out of his sight.

Compared to the shadow of Futaba seen in Futaba's room, the shadows of these passers-by are not as solid, and their presence in the real space is more illusory.

But this unusual situation still made Zhixing look a few more times in the crowd.

Looking at the shadows that had disappeared from his sight, Zhixing took out his mobile phone and opened the app.

The shadows that had just disappeared appeared in Zhixing's sight again, but their number was smaller than before.

"That's weird. Shouldn't I enter the cognitive world only after entering all three coordinates? How come I can see it right away?"

Zhixing thought about his own situation and realized that this seemed to be the method used in the early stage to lure Amamiya Ren, the guest of the Velvet Room, into the other world.

In the later period, it was eaten by the book eaters.

But even with such means, it seems that only Amamiya Ren can see it... Well, okay, Futaba and that young lady also have relatively high perception and can directly see the existence of some cognitive shadows.

The phone turned off, on, and off again. Zhi Xing stared at a man with a shadow visible on his body, testing his newfound perspective.

"Well, it would be nice if it could be turned on and off. At least it's much better than the translation sight that can't be turned off."

After seven successful verifications, Zhixing stopped following and walked towards the mall restroom.

Zhixing stood in front of the mirror and turned it on and off with his phone, but still did not see his own shadow appear.

Zhihang waited there for a while and tested it on passers-by. Although not everyone had the effect, he successfully confirmed that even the light reflected by a mirror can cast a shadow.

"Hiss, that's weird, this shouldn't be the case. Is my shadow busy? Too busy to come to the real world?"

Zhixing squinted his eyes and looked at the confirmed name of the paper company in the app, always feeling that something was wrong.

The witch just forgot the name and borrowed her own name to use. Can it still be called the Paper Bank's name?

The paper industry feels this is unlikely.

Although cognitive space is constructed by collective cognition.

However, among the three coordinates for launching the app, the image of the temple depends on the master of the temple. The geographical location of the temple is fixed in the cognitive world, but the name of the master of the temple should also be based on his real name, right?

That's why the protagonists can't do anything about the hacker group Megiddo because they don't know the names of its members.

Therefore, a name cannot be replaced by a code name that is commonly known to the public. It must be accurate to the individual.

"I never thought that one day I would be mistaken for someone because of having the same name as me."

Zhixing looked at himself in the mirror and sighed, then checked the time and prepared to set off for Shujin Academy to reunite with the protagonists.

I passed by a convenience store and bought two bags of bread. I ate my lunch while on my way.

"The notes in that wits-based battle anime only needed a person's name and appearance to identify the target, which is similar to the current name and hall."

"However, considering the namesake relationship and the naming convention that the temples may be from the same region, the location of the temples has also been added as a distinguishing factor in the app."

"I remember a foreign video that collected photos of people from all over the world online, launching a campaign to find your other self around the world. They found several pairs of people who were obviously not twins and had different names, but had the same profession and appearance."

"If this world, like Earth Online, has a shortage of NPC materials, leading to the reuse of materials and settings, then in the imaginary space of the train station, a system that only needs a name to find a person might find the wrong target?"

"Different name, but same profession, personality, and appearance, another self in the world."

Zhixing, who got on the tram, thought about the little bear who had been confirmed to exist in the temple, and the fact that the little bear had replaced Zhixing's name. As for this temple for which he could not find a second keyword, he felt more and more that this was the coordinates of the little bear's temple.

Unfortunately, keywords such as toy factory and maintenance room did not exist, so Zhixing was unable to verify his guess.

The tram was running very fast in this area. Zhixing had just gotten off the tram and was about to head towards Shujin Academy.

The little bear brought freshly baked room temperature soup and found the paper bank that had eaten the bread but had no water to drink.

Zhi Xing looked at the little bear that suddenly appeared in front of him and asked speechlessly:

"It's only your second time, why are you so skilled?"

"Humph, who wasn't staying in the room properly? I specially prepared this poisonous soup for you, and you actually ran away!"

The girl placed the soup on the table that had appeared out of nowhere, and looked angrily at the paper in front of her.

Just now, Zhixing was walking on the way to the academy when he heard a voice calling his name. When he turned around, a hand patted his shoulder.

Then, with a wave of red and black, they appeared in the bear's palace.

This speed of entry is much faster than when entering the witch's barrier.

Zhi Xing looked at the normal-sized soup bowl in his cognitive world and asked uncertainly:

"Can I drink this? I mean, should I go back to the barrier and drink it? I always feel like eating here is fake."

Little Bear waved his hands to deny Paper Bank's statement, and then said proudly:

"I also know that things that materialize directly are fake, so I waited until I finished making the soup before bringing it over."

"Oh~, then you can drink it now."

Zhi Xing looked at the bowl, then at the bear who had spoken so shockingly, and confirmed:

"Wait a minute, where did you say this bowl came from?"

"I'll bring it over after I finish it."

"Eh?"

"Eh??"

Zhi Xing looked at the colorful soup in front of him, which had been covered by it and was now only black, and he had only one question in his mind.

Does the witch know about the existence of cognitive shadow?

Then, although real medicine can be used to treat and consume corresponding items in the cognitive world, the effect of such conversion can only work in the cognitive space and cannot heal the damage caused by the real world.

But Zhixing thought so, but there was no evidence to prove that this situation was consistent with the witch and the shadow that could enter the barrier to steal medicine.

This soup is so thick, I'm not going to turn into a familiar right here and then, am I?

Thinking of this, Zhi Xing put down the soup and said to the somewhat dissatisfied little bear in front of him:

"I think I need to make some preparations and come back soon."

The nearest hospital to Shujin Academy.

Zhixing left the school to meet up with the main characters. Since the school had not yet ended, the anxious Zhixing followed the destination that Gao Juanxing had taken a taxi to before and also took a taxi to this hospital.

In order to try the poisonous soup of the cognitive world, one naturally needs to ensure that one can return to normal safely.

But the target of the paper company is naturally not Shiho, the friend of Takamaki An who has not yet woken up, but another important character, Kamoshida, who also stayed in the hospital and was accidentally hospitalized.

Although Jixing has already understood that it might be because the protagonists entered Kamoshida's hall before that Jixing was able to be restored to his original position.

But as part of fate, the villain's life is also life.

Zhixing stood in the lobby of the hospital's inpatient department, looked around at the signs for going upstairs, and without asking where Kamoshida's ward was, he came to the empty staircase and directly opened the app, entered the keyword and entered Kamoshida's home court.

Although the coordinates of Kamoshida's palace were used in the navigation of the other world, it was obvious that as long as three keywords were entered, Zhixing would move from the real space to the cognitive space.

And the hospital that was originally overcrowded with people suddenly disappeared because they were people beyond Kamoshida's acquaintance.

Unlike the third villain boss, Kinjo, although Kamoshida is a gold medalist, his desires and power are concentrated in Shujin Academy.

So in this empty hospital, Zhixing only needs to take a look at the ward to know whether the other party exists.

Soon, after walking up several floors, Zhixing heard the only sound in the hospital.

"Humph, that assassin actually cares so much about those slaves! When I recover from my injuries, I will expel them from the school. No, I will make them lose their reputation in society!"

Following the sound, Kazuyuki arrived at the door of the ward and saw the shadowy Kamoshida, who was wearing only underwear and hiding his red cape.

"You've finally come to your senses like this? Is this a coincidence?"

Zhixing opened the door of the ward where people often came and went, and looked at the shadowy Kamo Shida.

"How dare you break into my lounge? You're so brave!"

Kamoshida stood up directly from the hospital bed, looking as if he was not injured at all.

"If this were real, I wouldn't dare barge in. After all, I can't beat you, a sports expert."

"But in the cognitive world, especially before your temple, do you have the ability to stop me?"

The paper shop stood at the open door and did not go in. Instead, it stood outside the door, bluffing and preparing to run away.

Don’t think that Kamoshida’s shadow always runs away when facing the protagonists.

But that is all because of the power bestowed by the personality mask, not to say that Shadow Kamoshida is really that weak.

In fact, judging from the appearance of Kamoshida's shadow alone, his muscles are obviously much stronger than those in paper form, and he is not even hindered by injuries in reality.

What's more, as the master of the hall, Kamoshida can also become the final boss of the hall. For Zhixing, he is also an irresistible existence.

But the reason why Zhixing chose to come to the hospital and find Kamoshida in the cognitive world was naturally not a misjudgment made due to lack of knowledge.

Although Zhixing himself has not awakened his own personality mask.

But the little bear has a palace!

From Shadow Futaba's description, Zhixing learned that different halls can communicate with each other, which means that they can contact each other through the channel of the cognitive world.

The paper shop has already made an agreement with Xiao Xiong that as long as certain people are brought in, then the paper shop will dare to make not only one bowl, but also another bowl of poisonous soup.

Although the 100% safe approach is to put Amamiya Ren in and then experiment.

But Amamiya Ren has a velvet room. Since Shadow Bear can enter the witch's barrier freely, Zhixing is not sure whether Amamiya Ren, who has the protection of velvet and the navigation app for the other world, can be trapped in the witch's barrier.

That's why I chose to come to the hospital after staying outside the school for a while.

"Humph, you weren't in the same group with that gang, so you trapped them in my castle at that time."

"If it wasn't for finding you, I wouldn't have bothered with them."

"Those few little thieves were able to escape?"

Zhixing touched his chin and looked at Kamoshida, who had clearly stood up but did not approach the door. He felt something in his heart and asked uncertainly:

"It sounds like there's a shadow of me in your castle?"

"He's just a petty thief who bullies the weak and fears the strong."

"If I hadn't failed to react at the time, you wouldn't have destroyed that girl's shadow."

Zhixing raised his eyebrows and suddenly remembered that there should be another person in this hospital.

The girl whose existence was confirmed by Takamaki An, Suzui Shiho, was influenced by the Witch's Kiss and chose to jump off the building.

"You mean, you can't see that girl named Shiho anymore?"

"Who cares about a slave's name? Compared to that, your disobedience is the unforgivable sin, guard!!"

Following Kamoshida's roar, the shadow beneath his feet seemed to transform into a solid liquid and spread out.

In the ward that was supposed to be empty, soldiers wearing iron armor and carrying large shields suddenly appeared.

Then these soldiers transformed a second time like a fountain, forming cognitive images that could use their full strength.

Faced with this situation, Zhixing did not choose to escape immediately, but began to try to communicate with the little bear in his heart.

Little Bear, are you there?

I'm watching.

After receiving Xiao Xiong's reply, Zhi Xing suddenly felt a surge of confidence, and immediately spoke to Kamoshida:

"I thought your power was confined to the temple, but I didn't expect that in your main body, you could actually summon other shadows to fight."

"Hmph, how could a mere petty thief possibly know my authority? I won't let you escape so easily this time! Attack!!"

Following Kamoshida's orders, the cognitive being transformed into a unicorn rushed over immediately.

Zhi Xing looked at the monster that was rapidly closing the distance and said in a calm and rapid tone:
