Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"With the desire to save Nanami-san, this thought will also become the driving force for the other party's actions."

"Desire?"

Zhixing recalled his first successful transaction of the day. Although it was completed under the leadership of the other party, the contract should have taken effect. After all, the other party did replace the real person.

However, even when Zhixing was fulfilling the contract, he did not have much intention of saving the other party, and even felt that it didn't matter whether he succeeded or not.

Zhi Xing didn't have time to think about the reason, and then he heard the "Princess" continue speaking:

"But none of us could have imagined that Despair could confidently enter into a contract with us even though we knew he had set up a trap at the endpoint."

"But what is more worrying than the deception before the contract is..."

"The [Super High School Level Gamers] didn't die instantly from the concentrated attack. Instead, they avoided vital points and seemed to be able to survive if they could be saved. However, Despair didn't seek treatment due to the combined desires of the fourteen of us through our contract. Instead, he... made a [Contract] with Nanami-san."

"I will inherit everything from [Gamer]!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Xing immediately looked towards the academy behind him and confirmed as if realizing the final outcome:

"Are you saying that she chose to play games because she has the talent of a [gamer]?"

The Princess also looked at the completely enclosed academy with some complexities, and said reluctantly:

"With the talent of [Despair], she can drive these fifteen people to a fratricidal war in a very short period of time."

"But it was precisely because she chose to accept everything from the [gamer] that two murders were not committed until now."

Zhi Xing stood there, digesting the information he had received from the Princess about the world. The words Kamuzuru Izuru had said surfaced in his mind, and he couldn't help but murmur:

"For the impossible man who achieved omnipotence?"

"Oh no! Could it be the shadow of the [idol]?!"

After realizing another way to die, Zhixing, who deeply realized that fate could not be changed, immediately rushed into the academy again.

At this time, all the shadows in the academy had returned to the dormitory early because of this class referee.

The paper shop is not far away from the dormitory area.

So after a brief walk through the dark corridor, he entered the dormitory after seeing the outline of the door and began searching each dormitory one by one.

Unfortunately, the accommodation rooms are all single rooms, just like those in the prison on p5.

But no matter the location of the toilet or the window, it is impossible to escape from this place and return to reality.

Under the [wall-penetrating device] of the paper company that no longer uses the door after entering the room, no trace of the [idol] was found in Naegi's room, Maizono's room, or the paper company's room.

Finally, Zhi Xing came out of the dormitory area without giving up, and after entering several rooms that he thought were dark and could not investigate, he could not help but look up at the ceiling.

However, in the world of cognition, the witch did not see the figure of despair.

Zhixing could only clench his fists and came to the feet of the black and white bear outside the academy. He ignored the [Mechanical Engineer] Zuoyoutian who wanted to say hello, and looked at the black and white bear secret treasure that did not move on its own. He thought hard... for a whole night and calmed himself down.

Finally, he turned around and went back to the accommodation area. In the empty room that Monokuma had opened for himself, which still had some light, he lay on the bed, trying his last attempt to return to reality.

Chapter 314 New Transaction Object

It is not like entering the space of impressions from a dream, and naturally it will not return to the real world through dreaming.

When the paper worker who stayed up late opened his eyes again, it was already noon.

At least that's what the paper line was told by the tableware and missing food portions in the restaurant.

Zhixing remained silent as he watched the dark environment remain after he left the crowd. He simply returned to the witch's barrier, used water instead of food to replenish the water of his [idol], and then simply took out some snacks and ate while watching these super high school level actions.

Afterwards, for some unknown reason, the second floor was not opened until the afternoon, so everyone gathered again and went to the corridor of the accommodation area, preparing to look for possible escape in the building on the second floor.

It was at this moment that Zhi Xing noticed the black and white bear, which seemed to be shining a searchlight, in the corridor where the light was gradually fading away.

So I followed Monokuma's back and came to Naegi's room.

But mechanical creations are mechanical creations. The fact that they can move and emit light has already consumed other people's cognition.

In other words, everyone knows that there is a person behind the black and white bear, so no one regards the black and white bear as a living being.

Therefore, although the cognitive world is not short of creatures with strange shapes, even each protagonist group can have a cognitive creature that is like a mascot.

But Monokuma was not among them. Even with a translator, Zhixing was unable to understand what Monokuma wanted to express from his performance.

So, when Zhixing saw that Monokuma had only come to Naegi's room to introduce something to the audience, his mind had already gone to the people on the second floor.

However, not only did the black and white bear separate from the crowd, it even went into the secret passage.

Zhi Xing could only take advantage of the gap before the light source disappeared and quickly came to the corridor, wanting to rush to the stairs on the second floor.

But the corridor was not under the gaze of other viewers, so after walking a few steps, Zhi Xing had lost the sense of distance from the corridor.

In response to this, Zhi Xing had no choice but to enter the witch's barrier, and then returned to the memory space from the dark first floor of the academy.

Zhixing turned around and looked towards the second floor, and soon discovered that on the wall, which was supposed to be just a textured image, iron plates and large screws were being generated to seal the escape exit.

Zhixing also used this to understand where everyone on the second floor had explored to at this time.

"It seems that if other people hadn't arrived and the cameras hadn't been shared, people wouldn't have had a clear understanding of the transformed academy."

"Sure enough, even if I choose to explore other floors in the dark, I won't be able to find anything because nothing has changed?"

Zhihang looked at the windows on the second floor that had bulged and suddenly turned into iron plates as he explored, and he couldn't help but touch the wall outside and kept walking forward, trying to find where the stairs might be.

But after walking for a distance, Zhixing stopped.

Not because I found the stairs.

It was because Zhixing found that he seemed to have found the location of the cafeteria very quickly. Compared with the iron plate windows before, they were arranged in a very regular manner according to the logic of the dormitory windows.

In theory, only canteens with an aisle in the middle or that do not need so many windows can maintain a certain distance.

However, Zhi Xing looked at the length of the cafeteria, which was obviously not as wide as he remembered, and couldn't help but look back at the way he came. Then he looked at the second-floor room above, which had not yet undergone all the changes, and confirmed thoughtfully:

"The actual area of ​​the palace is much larger than it appears from the outside?"

"That's right. Aside from Kamoshida, who has taken over a school, the current land area won't be able to accommodate art galleries, banks, ships, or even pyramids."

"After all, this is a fake world. Movement here doesn't count, so the space naturally becomes larger and it doesn't matter."

Just as Zhixing was lamenting that he couldn't measure the location where he entered from outside the school, a voice came from behind him at the right time.

"Oh my, it seems our [Bystanders] can't figure out how to get in from the outside, and they actually broke into my territory."

Zhixing was not surprised to hear this, but turned around to watch the man who made the sound.

This time, there was no need for the other party to introduce himself. Zhixing knew the other party's identity from the white tall hat.

"[Super High School Level Chef], do you know how to get in?"

Although the other party was not as short as in the original book, he was not as tall as the paper line, unless the chef's hat he was wearing was counted.

"No, no, no. Exploring this academy is the work of the [Underworld]. I'm just a little curious because I heard that someone could enter here at will and knew so much about us and them."

"Otherwise, since you are not a beautiful girl, you will not be able to obtain my favor."

Zhi Xing looked around, trying to find the whereabouts of others, and asked curiously:

"So, they all rushed here from the palace and began to understand the situation here. So what are you responsible for? Don't you still eat?"

"Superficial, so superficial, you actually think my talent as a chef is just to make the food taste better?"

"There's an old saying in your area, 'Butcher Ding butchers an ox,' right?"

[Chef] Although Hanamura Teruki is just a shadow, his confident attitude still makes Zhixing raise an eyebrow.

"Since the [Keeper] was able to elevate his talent to one of the top five fighters by conquering a bear, the [Club Manager] also became one of the top five fighters thanks to those sports clubs."

"Could it be possible that as a [Chef], you can also become the sixth fighting force?"

Zhixing couldn't help but think of the scene in the second generation game where the [Cheater], who was in the second tier of combat power, was stabbed in the throat by the [Chef].

Although it was a sneak attack, the thick fat protection of the [Trickster] prevented him from making any cry for help and he just fell asleep quietly in the darkness. This made Zhixing pay attention to the [Chef] in front of him who had a lustful personality.

"Although I may be slightly inferior to other students as a new student, I have conquered the dark culinary world under the leadership of [Despair]. I am not something that ordinary people can match."

"After all, I'm just a young boy who cooks ingredients that dare not resist. How can I compare to me who has grown up healthily under the care of a mature man?"

Hearing the other person's rhythm as if he was about to tell his own story, Zhi Xing couldn't help but interrupt him and asked:

"So, what are you here for?"

"How rude! I was about to tell you about my legendary history of conquering culinary worlds under the pretext of collecting legendary kitchen utensils. Ordinary people are not qualified to hear this."

"It's only been about two years, and even more than a year of that was spent on normal campus life. How could you have the time to travel around the world? I don't even want to hear you talk about this. Did you mean you could help me before?"

The chef's eyes suddenly became sharp, and under Zhi Xing's gaze, he pulled out a brand new frying pan from behind him, looking at Zhi Xing as if he were looking at prey and said:

"From the looks of you, it seems like you want to go to the second floor, but with your physical strength, I'm afraid you can't get up there with the wide gaps between the iron plates outside."

"Let me help you. After all... I'm very familiar with the human body."

As he spoke, the [Chef]'s body suddenly swelled up, and then he picked up a frying pan, as if he was cooking. Ignoring the paper's subconscious resistance, he lifted the paper and the ground beneath his feet up.

Looking at the paper bank that had clearly taken off and surpassed the second floor, the [Chef] said excitedly:

"Sure enough, just like the datura, you can't just pull it out. You have to take it with the roots and the soil."

Standing on the floor, the paper line that was thrown into the air together, thought about the pot bottom that had not touched him at all, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

Just because she was threatened with force by a fighter and others once, the flaw in the witch's barrier was exposed.

If even the chef can see it, then [Despair] can definitely see it too.

It seems that I still need more advice from Kamizuru Izuru, otherwise with what I have now, I am not qualified enough to gain a foothold in a stronger world.

Although Zhixing was thinking about something, he did not forget to call the little bear.

Thus the upward momentum of the paper industry was stopped.

Then, like a slingshot pig game, it suddenly fell vertically, and in the process, the figure of the paper disappeared without causing any impact on the building.

"As expected of a 'Bystander', he clearly relies on the insatiable food supply here and the hunger from the outside world to transform, but isn't that enough to cause him any trouble?"

The [Chef] returned to his original human form and, after bidding farewell to the [Gangster], returned to the area he was responsible for.

Looking at the endless stream of test papers being handed over by sentient beings other than Monokuma, the [Chef] picked up his kitchen knife and, after careful consideration, cut out the parts that leaned towards positive energy. These were then transported by ordinary shadows on the other side to the Monokuma secret treasure at the center, while he spoke:

"As you can see, I'm a very busy man, shouldering the heavy responsibility of changing Monokuma's heart."

"So you should go there by yourself."

Kyubey, who was standing aside and looking through the test papers that had piled up because the [Chef] was out, stood up and sighed and said:

"Well, with those ingredients, it shouldn't be difficult to invent a dish that can be eaten by vegetative people. They are obviously willing to help me send themselves upstairs."

"Let's be clear. You don't think that people whose cognitive shadows have disappeared are the same as people in a vegetative state. So, an amateur is an amateur."

"They've lost all their desires. This isn't just about not wanting to eat; even the ability to breathe and digest food is gradually disappearing. This isn't something a [health worker] or [cook] can help with."

"Instead of spending the rest of its life here drinking water, it's better to send it straight to freedom."

Kyubey looked at the fallen Baseball Player, pondering the basic knowledge provided by the cognitive world. Combining it with the knowledge provided by the paper line, which had already dissipated a lot, he made his own decisive choice:

"At least we can prolong their lives. It doesn't have to be too long, just a few days will be enough."

"If the script I received is correct, that impossible man will appear in a few days."

"Impossible Man? What is that?"

"Who knows? Whose understanding does this come from?"

Kyubey put down the test paper, carried the "Baseball Player" he had brought down from the class referee on his shoulders, and then walked towards Hope's Peak Academy.

The chef turned sideways, watching Kyubey's departing figure, and couldn't help muttering:

"An impossible person? Could it be that Nanami-san, who liberated our palace back then, is also one of them?"

Because he was not sure if he could stop on the second floor, Zhi Xing entered the academy in advance. After confirming that he could not find the way down, he jumped in the barrier and continued to [escape] underground to reach the bright corridor.

After exploring for a while, everyone exchanged locations. It was not like in the game where the protagonist needed to run all over the map.

Zhixing sighed, randomly chose a room with people in it, and followed them as they explored the second floor of the academy, from which there was no possibility of escape.

Of course, apart from the paper shop that had long known that the exploration here was only to provide a new location for the next murder, the others had other thoughts in mind during the search.

This thought reached its climax when everyone, after searching all the places, finally gathered in the cafeteria on the first floor at dinner time and shared their discoveries.

"It's all your fault. Now that bastard isn't showing up anymore, are you satisfied?"

The [bosozoku] had already guessed this outcome during the information exchange process, and they couldn't help but slam the table and blame the [discipline officer] who finally gave advice to Kyubey.

"What I'm saying is all for everyone's benefit. If we don't finalize the terms of the deal, how can we know if Kyubey can actually rescue the people? And the most important question is how many people he can rescue. This is a matter of life and death for all of us. It can't be just a verbal promise!"
