Similarly, on the fixed Christmas Day, the Phantom Thieves were able to enter the bottom floor and saw Shido Masayoshi, who had just been separated from them for a few days, and it was obvious that he was covered by the shadow of his thoughts.
But in reality, Shido Zhengyi will always maintain a state of change of heart, from confessing his guilt to the disappearance of the memory space, to Amamiya Ren's release from prison, and his behavior in reality has not been changed at all by the pseudo-god-level change of heart.
"And the most obvious change between these two states is... the temple itself no longer exists, and the treasure has been taken away by the Phantom Thieves?"
"No, a change of heart occurs after defeating the boss, when an action affecting reality is ordered. It doesn't require taking the secret treasure away."
"And if I remember correctly, the other villain, Goro Akechi, gained power in advance and changed Kinjo's heart before Ren Amamiya, causing the real Kinjo to provide funds for Shido Justice."
"So the secret treasure and the collapse of the palace are not necessary conditions for a change of heart, and no huge energy is released from the transformation of these two states."
Zhi Xing looked at the Baseball Player who was pinned down by several beasts, but still staring at him intently, as if they had some irreconcilable grudge. He asked the Breeder beside him:
"Just like you tamed these cognitive creatures, did Monokuma also change the heart of the Baseball Player in real life?"
[Super High School Level Breeder] Tanaka-Eyes Jamu let out a few refreshing laughs, then looked at Zhi Xing and exclaimed:
"As expected of a 'Bystander', this information, obtained from who knows where, actually allows you to see through the other party's true situation."
"But you should have known this long ago, yet you still made this decision. It's truly irrational. Will you end up just being a spectator?"
Zhi Xing looked at Kyubey, who was sitting upright and had orchestrated all this, and said unhappily:
"Ultimately, it's due to a lack of intelligence. With only a little instinctive understanding, how can we compare to an opponent who has already mastered the art of [Despair]?"
"I... I didn't expect that either. And the [Health Attendant] probably didn't expect that either, so it's not just my fault. If I hadn't just happened to be passing by..."
"I learned of your foolish plan from the [Four Dark Lords], the Gods of Destruction, and so I have descended upon you to save you from this dire straits. Do not underestimate the power of the Four Dark Lords."
After Kyubey's attempt to shirk responsibility was interrupted by the [Keeper], he didn't know what to say for a moment and could only use his best skill of silence to buy time.
"After all, it's the Despair Syndrome. I can't change it on my own, so I specifically asked Mr. Hamster to find Tanaka-san."
"I've said it many times before, its name is..."
"Wait! That's not right!"
Zhi Xing suddenly spoke up, interrupting the interaction between the [Keeper] and the [Health Worker], and asked in confusion:
"If the shadow of the Baseball Player was defeated by the execution, and therefore Monokuma is controlling him, then what about you?"
"You have all regained your sanity and are no longer the hopeless remnants, right? Have you recovered now as well?"
The paper industry was very confused about this.
After all, I read in the paper that if the cognitive shadow wants to affect the real entity, it must pay something. Otherwise, when the shadow reaches the bottom, the effect of changing the heart should have ended long ago.
But if Zhixing remembers correctly, the shadow [baseball player] originally left the hall, so he had no choice but to choose to sign the contract and become Zhixing's experimental subject.
But if one can change the other person's mind only as long as the other person remains the same, then theoretically, those who have been changed and then changed back should be familiar with this.
However, the paper company did not get an answer from the health workers.
"I'm not sure what you mean by the desperate remnants, but if it's within your own palace, then it's possible to capture the other party's shadow and let it affect reality."
"I see. In the endless future observed by the Observer, will I be labeled a remnant? Hmph, although I don't want to accept it, I lose, and this level of difficulty is not enough for me."
The two people gave completely different answers to Zhixing's questions, but Zhixing cared more about the [breeder's] words than the [health worker's] simple and clear explanation.
"Monokuma, no, did [Super High School Level Despair] already possess the ability to influence the cognitive world before today?"
"That kind of power is beyond the reach of Monokuma, but if I hadn't experienced it before, I wouldn't have imagined that a [Super High School Level Animator] could actually pass through the numerous seals I set up, descend upon me, and replace me."
Zhixing frowned and looked at the [Health Attendant] Zuiki Mikan beside him. She did not disappoint Zhixing's expectations. While busy adjusting the [Baseball Player's] condition, she slowly said according to the thoughts that came to her mind:
"Originally, we could all synchronize our experiences with reality, but because we didn't carry the emotions we wanted, we didn't feel anything about the things in reality."
"But that image appeared before our eyes through memory."
"Although we both thought there was a high probability that one of us would have a talent for understanding the world, we didn't expect it to be the [Animator] in the same class."
Just as Zhixing was listening attentively, a female voice came from not far away, interrupting the description of the [Health Worker].
"What classmate? He's just a guy I've only met a few times. If I were to meet him, I'd definitely tear him into pieces."
Zhixing turned around and saw a girl wearing a kimono, but not small in stature, walking towards him from a distance, moving slowly but quickly.
"[Dancer], why did you leave your post? Now you are a hellhound, holding the gate to hell!"
"It's time to hand over the shift. One person from the Light Music Club is enough, right? These shadows are always coming to die, so it doesn't matter if I'm missing."
"Besides, there are people who want to bully my stupid pig. How can I stay there?"
The Dancer glanced at Kyubey, who was afraid to speak, then looked at the pinned-down Baseball Player, and finally at the Paper Line before continuing:
"That despair video will imprint a special understanding into our room. If we don't come into contact with our own secret treasures, our own combat power will be no better than that of the slaves we dominate."
"So naturally, we are all trapped in the cage formed by that image, and the orders transmitted through this cage have also been changed by it."
"The ultimate result is what Despair wants to see: unpredictable madness."
"Compared to those ordinary people whose orders are completely impenetrable to the cage and whose lives and deaths are directly controlled, a mere [Animator] is not qualified to control us, the chosen ones."
"After all, if we were all just fighting like this, we wouldn't have the chance to survive until now."
Zhixing quickly understood what the other party meant, and also realized that it was abnormal for the [baseball player] to act so recklessly.
"According to you, you were trapped in your room, and the instructions sent to the outside were misinterpreted, which made you become both rational and desperate."
"Then it's quite possible that the now-alone [Baseball Player] could be directly controlled, right?"
"Ha~ What are you thinking? Are you an idiot?"
[Dancer] opened the fan in his hand to cover his face, but the disdain in his tone was very strong.
"The so-called 'despair' is nothing more than a pursuit. As a 'Super High School Level Analyst', the other party's primary desire is, of course, to analyze him completely! It's just that his analysis is directed towards despair."
"Then why did he become like this? If this continues, there's no point in waking him up. I was hoping that at least one of us could live a normal life."
We clearly knew the solution and had successfully saved the patient, but not only was the problem of eating not solved, but new problems arose instead.
In this state, Zhixing dared not lock them up in the witch's barrier, otherwise, in the barrier with familiars everywhere, Zhixing could not guarantee their survival.
"Who knows about that kind of thing? If you want to know, go find it yourself!"
"It's time to go back, stupid pig. From now on, don't follow anyone who calls you!"
"Sorry."
After the [health worker] checked the [baseball player's] physical condition again, he followed the [dancer] out of the academy with a look of grievance on his face.
Looking at the suppressed [Baseball Player], Zhi Xing looked towards the [Keeper] for help.
"Did you just say that this situation was an order?"
"The animals I raise rely on simple bonds, so the situation you describe never occurs."
"As long as you treat them sincerely, they will treat you sincerely in return."
Zhihang tried to translate the other party's question, but did not get any other useful information.
"So you plan to let these cognitive creatures keep holding onto each other?"
"Is there any method or plan that can keep us all safe?"
"Once you encounter knowledge beyond your own purview, you seek help from others. It seems even a 'bystander' is no more than that."
The [keeper] looked like he was on a different level from the other party and suggested to the paper company:
"If you want to save the other person, then take concrete action."
"After all, this guy is a resident of another world. The methods I can use are limited. If I'm not careful, he might die. Therefore, only you, who is also a mortal body, are the most suitable doctor for him."
Zhixing nodded, knowing that the other party had no better ideas, and sat on the ground to think of a countermeasure.
But even though the surrounding kyuubi and [breeders] had no intention of disturbing Zhixing, no effective countermeasures were found.
Listening to the baseball player's shouting and struggling, Zhixing attributed the incident to the noisy environment, so he stood up, entered the witch's barrier, left a few cans for Kyubey, and returned to the academy.
The pitch-black environment indicated that no one was here, so Zhixing sat down slowly against the wall, wanting to think carefully and organize the information he had collected in such darkness.
But the paper industry still overestimated its capabilities.
Although in a quiet environment, hindsight thinking is more likely to occur.
But that was only the level of darkness in the room when the lights were off.
In the known Hope's Peak Academy, the darkness in places that are not in sight, or where the sight is low, cannot be replicated in everyday environments.
So Zhixing fell to the ground and fell asleep while thinking about it.
It was not until the person preparing dinner walked into the kitchen that Zhixing was awakened by the sudden light.
Rubbing his eyes, he looked at the other person selecting ingredients, knowing that it was probably time for dinner, so he stood up in a daze, returned to the witch's barrier, and found the place where the food and the [idol] were placed.
Zhi Xing, holding the water bottle, sighed as he looked at the [idol] who was becoming increasingly weak.
"Ah, if only your cognitive shadow was damaged, then I could leave you to the [Health Worker] to recover. At least you can survive by eating until the end of Bullet 1."
"Now, having been injured by the witch's repair surgery and relegated to the lowest level due to the cognition of death, it's impossible to use the witch's power even if you want to."
"Hmm? Witch power?"
Zhixing suddenly paused, then looked at the lower body of the [idol] that was originally made into a spider, but now even the stockings and skirt have been restored, and vaguely caught something.
Chapter 320: Seems like I've seen it in a dream
Zhixing felt the breath of the idol and confirmed that the other party was alive. Then he patted his thigh and confirmed that there was no touch of a doll. He couldn't help but think about it and began to think along this line.
"If you think about it, then because of the class judges, the idol was indeed dead in everyone's eyes."
"But whether it's a baseball player or an idol, none of them have disappeared along with their real bodies like the Phantom Thieves."
"Considering that the Phantom Thieves are all Persona users, they all rely on the power of the Persona, a palace-level power."
"Then it's normal for him to be taken away by the Persona after disappearing."
"It's just that the distance from the surface to the Impression Space is still too far to reach the bottom directly, so the Phantom Thieves disappeared more slowly, unlike before when they disappeared in an instant. It became somewhat similar to my entry into the Witch's Barrier."
"And the same thing happens when you go from the ground to the deep velvet room, but there's a space filled with all sorts of chains, and the rest of the space is blue as a buffer."
"To come down normally is the same as coming from the witch's barrier, descending layer by layer. Both of these are not normal ways to come down, but similarly, they can both send the other party back to reality."
Although as a cloud player, Zhixing only went through the plot briefly and may know very little about the specific details, but this channel that can connect the two places is very likely to exist at the bottom of this impression space. After all, this is also the key to the Velvet Room's ability to maintain the cultivation of Amamiya Ren.
The power of the personality mask is still limited, at least like the other world navigation app, it can only freely enter and exit the impression space within the scope of the surface.
Once they arrive inside the Impression Space, the Phantom Thieves still cannot leave directly with the help of personality masks or even apps. They can only use existing means of transportation to switch back and forth in the Impression Space to escape from the bottom layer.
As someone who has used [Sightseeing] many times and wanted to leave here, I have some experience with this.
But Zhixing had already wandered around Hope's Peak Academy, but couldn't find a way to go back.
And now I am thinking about it again because Zhixing has now noticed a speculation that has not appeared before.
"A magical girl's magic can enchant inanimate objects, and unless something unexpected happens to the girl herself, the enchantment lasts until the magic power is exhausted."
"After transforming into a witch, the witch's magic power is further enhanced to the point where it can enchant living people. This is why the Witch's Kiss directly affects people."
"I've seen the idol return to its original state before, but because I couldn't follow her out of the witch's barrier, I knew the idol was no longer considered a living thing. Just like the food stored here, even if there are still microorganisms inside, they are beyond the witch's perception range."
"And after the death in everyone's perception, the demonization phenomenon disappeared... Even when it was not considered a living being before, the magic power still attached to the body of the [idol]."
Zhi Xing hurriedly replenished the [idol] with water, checked it carefully, and then called out to Little Bear impatiently. Through Little Bear's multiple doors, he arrived at the witch's room deep in the barrier.
He returned to the maintenance stand, looked at the witch's huge body, and confirmed his thoughts again.
"My reset only works on my body, so my clothes get torn and the sweat marks from my training are still there."
"However, because I triggered [Reset], the clothes and phone that were originally enchanted were able to return to their original state. This is why I didn't think much about it before."
The witch, who had paid attention to this side because of Zhixing's words, skillfully took out the needle and thread, brought Zhixing back to the maintenance table, and as usual, asked the demons to start preparing the soup for playing house.
【Welcome back, you must be hungry, I'll be there soon】
Zhi Xing, on the other hand, turned his gaze towards the witch's face, which could only be seen clearly on the maintenance table.
In other words, the witch's mouth was sealed but not completely closed.
"The demonization was indeed lifted from me, but it wasn't the kind of regeneration that occurs to demihumans."
"Ajin's regeneration is able to eliminate bullets and medicine inside the body, as well as any external parts that would hinder the recovery of the limb, thereby punching a hole in the steel plate. It's an ability with practical significance."
"But I only removed the demonization from me, but I couldn't remove the Witch's Kiss from me."
"Since I can't do it in my situation, does the unconscious [idol] have the ability to remove the Witch's Kiss?"
Zhi Xing pressed his heart, listened to the rhythm of his heartbeat, and made the final hesitation.
