"It seems to have set a password in advance, and we need to enter our own name to open the disc."

"Name? That shouldn't be the name. Let me see."

Zhixing took the lucky CD out as he spoke, and then he suddenly understood the reason for this.

Because it is different from the discs with their respective names in the original plot.

For some reason, this CD is anonymous.

Zhi Xing glanced at the others who were also entering their names and had already finished, and understood the reason for the change.

Black and White Bear saw through my illiteracy, and it seemed that Black and White Bear didn't want me to see the contents of the CD.

But Zhixing already knew that these CDs were all recording each other's family situations, and they were just meant to stimulate the other party's motivation to graduate. Was there any need to hide it so deeply?

Zhixing returned the CD in his hand to Makoto Naegi and was about to talk to Monokuma about something.

In the peripheral vision of the paper line, there was a sudden scene as if the colors switched.

Although only the person standing in front of the display can see the image inside, the color of the background of the image can still be displayed through reflection.

And most of these pictures are the same picture, which is used to talk to family and friends, so they are all the same color.

But on only one person's screen, the colors were changing rapidly.

A bad guess came into Zhixing's mind.

Could it be...a film of despair?

Chapter 290: Cognitive Application and Deception

"Um, given my current situation, can I possibly recover the Witch's Kiss?"

Looking at Shenzuo Chuliu, who was far more proficient in the cognitive world than himself, Zhixing knew that after handing over the cognitive treasures to him, the other party would definitely be able to use these things to establish a knowledge system such as cognitive science that real scientists could master.

But Zhixing never expected that the speed of mastering it would be so fast.

After just passing through the treasure once and being brought to the cognitive world by Paper Walker once, he could enter the cognitive world freely, and he could also move around the hall by analogy, and run to a different space that Paper Walker could not find.

This also made Zhixing once again doubt whether the world he chose was really as safe as he thought.

Although there are ready-made products of the cognitive world, Youzhixing introduced the cognitive world to Kamijou Izuru and personally sent him to the cognitive world, wanting to verify whether Kamijou Izuru could awaken the personality mask.

However, Kamisama did not show his qualifications for the personality mask. Instead, he directly mastered the ability of Zhixing to freely enter the other world by making a contract with the butterfly.

Even in the world of P5, only mona, a product of the cognitive world, can do this.

After discovering that the ability to preserve one's life in the cognitive world also has its shortcomings, Zhixing's original plan to use the power of a witch to build up her self-confidence in the world of ordinary people also failed.

"It's okay. Currently, the only ones who can enter and exit this cognitive world on their own are you, me, and the Impossible Man born from the world's wishes."

Kamukura Izuru knew that this was not the time to study the cognitive world. The most important thing now was that he had promised to help Zhixing organize his own strength. So after reappearing in reality, he spoke to Zhixing to comfort him.

"Heh, according to your wish, isn't it because of my wish that I can obtain proof of the existence of the wishes made by other wishers? How come, now we can share them?"

“Power is power, but if you can’t influence the circumstances around you, then you can’t prove you have it.”

In order to avoid situations like the brain in a jar and the dream of a yellow millet, according to Kamizuru's speculation, Zhixing's wish is probably to prove to himself that everything he has experienced is not an illusion.

And the result is... the outflow of the witch's kiss, the change in the flow of time, the restoration of the body, and the contract of the cognitive world.

However, in Zhixing's opinion, this statement should be simply to collect evidence to fulfill the so-called three wishes. After all, Zhixing has transformed back into a human from a demon state in Conan's world.

If it's not a reset, what else could it be?

What's more, the paper bank has never encountered the so-called contract situation.

Zhixing obviously cannot accept such a statement. It would be better to say that some of the talents that Kamijou Izuru currently possesses are related to the cognitive world. Therefore, relying on the combination of talents, he can directly and freely enter the other world. This is easier to accept... but he cannot accept it!

The results that Zhixing achieved after going to the P5 world and even being rescued by [Reset] several times were all copied by Shenzuo in less than an hour. How could Zhixing convince himself to accept such a thing?

But what made Zhixing feel the huge gap between people was that after returning to reality, Kamijou Izuru took one of the classified cognitive treasures and held it in his hand as if he was conducting an ordinary experiment. In just a few seconds, the treasure disappeared from in front of Zhixing out of thin air.

Then, a few seconds later, in Zhi Xing's dazed gaze, the thing that had disappeared out of thin air reappeared out of thin air in the same place.

No, to be precise, it returned to Kamizuru Izuru's hand, which he had deliberately moved.

"Storage space?"

Seeing that Zhixing was still pursuing the power of the original personality mask, the other party used his talent to directly produce an unexpected effect. This was really beyond Zhixing's expectations, but it seemed to be within expectations.

After all, Zhixing chose Kamizuru Izuru as the military advisor to plan a development path for himself, and that was naturally because he was the most powerful military advisor.

It's not that the strong people in other worlds don't use their brains, but that the strong people tend to be more inclined to the power they possess. They know too little about the power of other worlds that are not adapted to the local environment, and the only guidance they can give is the experience of local cultivation.

But for Kamizuru Izuru, a super high school level hope without super energy, there is no such concern.

As long as someone takes the lead, Kamizuru Izuru can rely on his learning advantage to draw inferences from one instance, bring forth new ideas, and even the degree of matching of his strength is better than that of most geniuses.

"Teach me, Principal Kamizuru!"

The master is the one who is more accomplished. Although the other party has the body of a child, his soul is said to be an old man in his forties, so it is not wrong to call him master. Anyway, Zhixing has recognized several masters before who failed to cultivate their physical abilities.

However, Kamizuru Izuru did not agree to the request of the paper line in front of him. Instead, he insisted on setting three wishes to the end and asked:

"You said that the world of cognition can only return to the place where it entered the world of cognition, and the power of the witch can allow you to move across space and reality."

“But that raises a question.”

"A enters the temple and comes to where B is. At this moment, B also enters the temple. Then, B brings A back to reality. How should these two people determine their position in reality?"

Zhixing frowned and thought for a moment, realizing that he seemed to only know that he would return to the entry point after going back. At the time, he thought that this ability could only be used for emergency avoidance, and then rely on the witch's barrier to change the space twice to avoid real squats and ambushes.

It was because of the witch's barrier that Zhixing had never thought about this problem.

The temple defense line built by Shido Zhengyi can flood most areas of the city, and even the temple itself can move, making it impossible for the Phantom Thieves in the real space to sneak into the temple from a distance.

But even with almost all the defenses in place, there are still areas where we cannot defend ourselves.

That is near the building that is the birthplace of the temple in the current world.

Because of the rule that you start from the place you enter the cognitive world, the Phantom Thieves can directly come to the moving cruise ship.

Also because of the rule that leaving the cognitive world will return to the entrance, everyone thought that Ryuji had sacrificed himself because of Shido's last stand.

Even though Ryuji was blown away by the explosion at an unknown distance, he still appeared in the corner of reality that the Phantom Thieves had sneaked into.

After Zhixing confirmed these two basic settings, he looked at the cognitive treasure that Shenzuo Deru was playing with in his hand. He was about to ask for the answer directly, but Zhang Kai directly told him the key information.

"The entrance to reality is located on the palm of your hand?"

"As expected, you don't need help from others for everything. You can still think of the key points, but you just don't have the talent to turn your ideas into actions."

Kamizuru Izuru knew that Kamisuru did not believe in the three wishes, and that Kamizuru Izuru's soul was Hinata Hajime, and he had no memory of making a wish in the past.

But after meeting Jixing, an outsider, Kamizuru Izuru confirmed that this statement was very likely to be true.

But if such a god really existed, why would he choose this guy in front of him whose priority was not apparent, and why would he choose the former deity?

Shenzuo quickly decided to conduct an experiment on the wisher in front of him, using him as a stepping stone to understand more specific details about the three wishes.

After all, this world is highly correlated with the three wishes, and the true hope that is beyond human ability can only be realized through the world's wishes.

"Let me see what your talent is like after entering this world and being materialized by your wishes."

"I, the wish-granter, can match the power you bring. Then you too can surely be influenced by the wishes of your race and become a gifted being with all-powerful abilities."

The audio-visual room is a place where students take computer classes.

Just because what is being done is reading and playing a CD, the lights in the entire classroom are off, and only the screen in front of each person is lit, allowing viewers to obtain the corresponding information.

As the motivation provided by Monokuma, the opening part is naturally a video of the people that these students care about the most being happy that they can enter Hope's Peak Academy.

As a paper trader who had only seen Naegi's motives, he inferred this.

Among these people, there happens to be an idol, and the people that the idol cares about the most happen to be other idols in the same team.

So when it comes to congratulating the [idol] for being selected into Hope's Peak Academy, it's reasonable for the others to dance in a music video?

So it makes sense that the camera switches more frequently than others and the colors are richer, right?

As for the idol who was originally motivated to kill by this in the original plot, even if the video evolved from a motivational video to a despair video, it still fits the plot development and will not change the fate of the attempt. It makes sense, right? ? ?

Especially when the motive itself was actually specifically set up by Monokuma to target individuals among the students.

Sayaka Maizono, who is an idol known for her emotional intelligence and who cares particularly about her partners, is the target of Monokuma's motive this time.

All of this was the scenario chosen by Monokuma's controller, the super high school-level analyst.

So all this is also very

"Under the butterfly effect, how could fate not be changed? You want to use this to stop me? Let's see whose despair is greater!"

Makoto Naegi, who had just snatched the CD back and plugged it in again to watch it with headphones, noticed Zhixing's actions. He suppressed his curiosity about the contents of his CD and instead watched Zhixing's actions.

As the paper fell, the words seemed to have no beginning or end.

Zhixing stretched out his left palm and pointed it vertically at Maizono-san. Then, instead of approaching, he closed his eyes as if he was confirming something, or as if he was preparing for something.

As he retracted his raised fingers one by one, forming the shape of the number 7 (), he opened one eye and looked at Maizono-san.

Makoto Naegi followed Zhixing's gaze and immediately noticed that Maizono's eyes were not in a good mood, as if she had seen something terrible, but couldn't look away.

"Bang~"

"Ah ah ah ah ah"

Makoto Naegi couldn't tell whether it was Kamishiro who made the onomatopoeic gunshot first or Maizono-san who screamed first.

But as Maizono's screams came to an abrupt end, the other students who had also finished watching the contents of the CD and were becoming uneasy about the motives within it, all looked at Maizono who had fallen to the ground and Zhixing who had just fired a pistol.

"how...."

"Get up! Then, come back!"

Before the classmates started asking questions, the [idol] who had fallen to the ground slowly stood up, then smiled and looked at the paper, and then fell straight forward again.

"What are you doing? Are you doing something outside the rules of the game?"

"Want to know? There's still one more opportunity to trade today. Do you want to use it, Jugami-san?"

After Zhi Xing saw that the witch's kiss had indeed disappeared from the girl's neck, he looked at the "Young Master" who had spoken with great pleasure.

"What do you want me to do in trade?"

"Your words..."

"Wait! There's no need to do this, Monokuma, you're there, right?"

Kirigiri Kyouko interrupted the Ten Gods who wanted to take the opportunity to test Kyubey's needs, and then summoned Monokuma.

"Ah, what's wrong, Kirigiri-san? What do you want from the principal?"

"Your people broke the rules and killed us without permission. Aren't you going to explain?"

"Uh, huh, huh, what are you talking about? Killing is not prohibited here. It would be better if I just killed him right now. That way it wouldn't be so boring."

"So, Maizono-san is alright, right?"

"It's okay. I know how to handle it, even though it's my first time."

Jixing explained to Kirikiri and Naegi who were asking about Maizono's situation, and then looked at the place where Maizono was originally and had not been taken out.

Zhixing observed Monokuma's actions and seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping him, he decided to take the despair video away.

The people around didn't know how to react to the sudden farce.

Just in this eerily quiet audio-visual room, a voice was heard, attracting Zhixing's attention.

"Can I make a deal with you, Mr. Kyubey?"

The [idol], who was caught by Ogami Sakura and did not fall again, slowly stood up with the help of Ogami Sakura and asked Zhi Xing.

"what is the problem?"

"I want to know who will die in this game."

Zhixing raised his eyebrows and looked at the weak Sayaka Maizono.

After the Witch's Kiss is lifted, the controlled person can indeed wake up, but the time of this wakefulness is usually enough for the magical girl to clean up the mess and turn back into an ordinary person before waking up.

And when this question came up, Zhixing couldn't help but think of the situation in Danganronpa 2 where someone broke the seal on their memory out of despair and remembered their memories. Combined with the fact that during the period when they were controlled by the Witch's Kiss, the victim could only recall a few fragments.

So the paper industry couldn't help but ask:

"Has your memory returned?"

It was originally just a simple question, but Zhixing didn't expect the [idol] to answer very quickly after hearing it:
