Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"A witch's power works on the soul, even if she doesn't use the Witch's Kiss."

"After all, it was conceived within the Soul Gem. Even while undergoing enchantment treatment on its body, it still affected its soul, making it likely to become part of the witch."

"The Witch's Kiss can be endured by shadows. That makes sense why I didn't see the [Idol's] shadow until I arrived in the Impression Space."

"And if the shadow is affected by the witch's magic, then when the other party is transferred to the lowest level, it means that the witch's power is also transferred!"

Zhihang is well aware that this is just a sudden guess and there is no evidence for it.

However, magical girls affect souls by [enchanting] matter, while witches interfere with matter by [enchanting] souls.

Therefore, the witch's barrier can ignore the obstacles of reality and move forward. At the same time, because there are people in the building, when affecting the soul, the other person's body will be brought into the barrier as well. This is the situation of entering the maze randomly.

The Witch's Kiss requires the victim's physical death, and this is probably because the magic power contained is not enough to pull the other party into the barrier, so she chooses to leave the entire body.

Zhi Xing narrowed his eyes. From this perspective, being able to accumulate soul abilities that require the soul to interfere with real matter directly to the point where the Witch's Night can use buildings as a means of attack seems to be much higher than simply destroying a city.

It is probably that the psychological control that was originally only usable on humans in Academy City has evolved directly to the point where it can control the opening of inanimate buildings, just like another LV5 uses electric current to control iron sand to open a mecha.

On the surface, her combat power is not as good as LV5, but in fact, she is better than the original ability. For example, she can directly enchant Madoka, who can kill her with one arrow, on the witch of Madoka, turning it into a world-destroying destructive force.

Zhixing shook his head. Although he had a new perspective on the situation of Witch Night, the suspected wish-granter, the most important thing at this moment was still one thing.

Will the shift in the cognitive world isolate the witch's magic?

Can the witch's magic create a witch's kiss on the cognitive shadow?

And...can we locate the Witch's Kiss through the cognitive bear, or even establish a long-distance contract?

"I am you, and you are me... Although I say that you and I are one, we have both been through the cognitive world, but we have never received proof."

"The contract I signed with that butterfly... probably didn't affect you... Little Bear."

Zhixing's words did not affect the witch who was waiting for the soup to be finished. After all, the time to really communicate with the witch was basically when Zhixing was drinking the soup. After all, only then would the witch's attention stay on Zhixing. At other times, it was more like she knew that a toy was making a sound, but she didn't pay attention to the content.

Zhixing didn't call for the witch to answer his questions, but just like in the later part of p5, Zhixing's call did not make Shadow Bear appear next to Zhixing.

Faced with such a result, Zhixing became even more hesitant. He waited until the witch gathered the soup and brought it to the maintenance table without conducting any further verification.

"This is already the bottom of the cognitive world. Even though this isn't as cognitive as P5, the witch's barrier is enough to gain some cognition from the cognitive world."

"After all, the black and white bear has a cognitive image. I have also demonstrated the power of a witch in a real-life live broadcast. Can't I use my cognition to create a little bear's cognitive existence?"

Zhi Xing looked at the colorful black soup in front of him, knowing full well the reason for his hesitation.

If you want to confirm whether the shadow bear exists, the most intuitive way is to directly enter the witch's body.

However, the soul gem is not located in the throat, but somewhere deeper.

If you want to find it, you must sink.

But in the world not long ago, Zhixing missed a long period of the plot because he was in the body of a witch.

So although we know that [Reset] is indeed triggered intermittently and automatically, and can restore the enchanted and immobile Paper Line to its original state, it is not restored to its original state in an instant. Instead, while recovering, it is also affected by external factors, which makes Paper Line have no chance to call back.

And inside the witch's body, even advanced translation abilities like eye contact and body language could not be implemented.

There is no butterfly in this world that ignores the existence of space. Zhixing dare not gamble that while he is looking for the location of the soul gem in it, he can always retain the control of the body that can be called back.

After calming down by drinking the soup, Zhixing still held on to the possibility that the other party could not make any sound but could hear, and asked the witch to contact the Witch's Kiss.

After drinking the bowl of soup at a slow pace, Zhixing took one last look at the witch, but still didn't dare to take the risk. He finally sighed, and before the witch was about to send him back to the room, he returned to the impression space from the witch's barrier.

Since it was mealtime when he woke up, and the paper shop didn't take much time, when he showed up, many people had already gathered in the restaurant for dinner.

Zhihang glanced around and found that several people including [Nobleman], [Literary Girl] and [Programmer] did not come to the outside. Although the others came in at different times, they all chose to dine together at about the same time.

After Zhixing simply listened to the conversations of the people present, he found that apart from the information of re-investigation of the second floor where they could not get out and the fact that the "onlooker" was still not found, no other topics were discussed, as if the plan of giving up talent from Kyubey had never appeared.

"If I could discuss it, it would probably only be Kyubey who knows existence."

Seeing everyone ignoring him, Zhixing returned to the kitchen, activated the [Wall Passage] and left the academy.

"The peaceful time passed quickly, and no accidents occurred as expected."

"[The Observer] hasn't appeared since the day the school trial concluded. With their escape route lost, the other students' motivation to explore the academy, once it became clear there was no escape, gradually gave way to despair."

"But unfortunately, this world is a world where only the fittest survive. In a new environment and with new rules, those who don't care about the rules are destined to be eliminated."

"Even if you abide by the rules, you will be affected by the actions of those who do not follow the rules."

"I've seen this happen many times."

"Human nature cannot withstand the test. Even I cannot claim to fully understand how people who have not experienced extreme situations will behave in ways that are drastically different from their usual behavior."

"All I know is what I know, just like you appearing before me now."

The [Gambler] slowly introduced himself to the [Observer] Zhihang in front of him as if he were opening remarks. Then he looked around with a bit of confusion and said in amazement:

"But even I didn't expect to appear in a castle like this. If it weren't for the different location now, I would definitely think I was dreaming. After all, this is the environment I have always dreamed of."

"As expected, even for someone like me, there's still a lot of room for improvement. After all, I'm only at the [Super High School Level] level."

Zhi Xing sat in the main seat in the center of the castle, looking with a complicated expression at the prison cart designed for him that brought the Gambler up. He took a deep breath and then asked:

"I heard from the [fan fiction writer] that he seems to be using the article you prepared to trade on his behalf. Is that true?"

"It's nothing serious. I just saw that my classmates were having difficulties, so I made special preparations. I don't know if it can meet your requirements."

"Oh? So the way you help your classmates is by gambling and winning money from the [fan fiction writer] to do the writing for you?"

"It's just that I'm alone here with no one to rely on, so I'm just making friends with my classmates. It's just that for me, gambling is the most effective way. Of course, this can only be a verbal agreement, so don't take it seriously."

"Well, fine, you can give it to me, but that wouldn't be the kind of deal I need. After all, it's not from a [fan fiction writer]."

"Oh, did I misunderstand? Now all the things I've prepared for these days are useless. What a shame."

Zhi Xing looked at the empty space with only two people in it, scratched his head and said:

"Don't pretend. I know what the relationship is between a [Gambler] and a [Fan Fiction Writer]. You're trying to use this to achieve your goal of meeting me and then conducting a [Transaction]...right?"

Chapter 321 She thought it was really happy

"How could that be? I did prepare the article. I put it under my pillow. If I were to go back..."

"If you want to take it, you can take it here, if it is really written by you."

"How can we get it in a place like this?"

[Gambler] looked at the prison van with no room for escape and asked in a calm tone as if he was not troubled.

The spectator thought for a moment, then ordered:

“Just close your eyes and recall the article you’ve written in your mind.”

"Is it that simple?"

The [Gambler] was a little surprised, but he quickly relaxed and followed the [Observer's] instructions to recall the past.

The [Onlooker] did not look at her, but raised his head and looked up at the ceiling.

After a while, a treasure chest was delivered to the [Gambler] by a food truck.

The sound of the wheels also made the [Gambler] open his eyes when it stopped in front of him.

"Oh, these are all...I stayed up late to write them."

The [Gambler] looked at the article in front of him in surprise, which was prepared on behalf of the [Fan Writer], and couldn't help but hide his thoughts deeper in his heart.

Mind reading? It's certainly part of the spectator's talent.

After confirming that the content was complete and the anti-counterfeiting label he had applied was reproduced exactly, the [Gambler] didn't care too much about it and put it back on the silver plate on the dining cart. Then he reached out and pushed the plate, carrying the article, in front of the [Onlooker].

The [Onlooker] just took a look and after confirming that it was not a wordless heavenly book but foreign raw meat, he put it aside and met the gaze of the [Gambler].

"So, what do you really want?"

The [Gambler] built a platform with his hands, then smiled and confirmed to the [Onlooker]:

"I heard that you have some authority in this game, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"I heard from a classmate that you seem to have the power to save one person from being eliminated in this game, right?"

"Oh? You're not thinking of escaping, but wanting a guarantee that you won't be killed?"

Even though she was talking about a certain classmate, the [onlookers] could still hear it, but if nothing unexpected happened, she only mentioned it in front of the [baseball player] because of Monokuma.

All others knew was that Zhihang could take others out.

"Before that, I'd like to confirm the deal you mentioned... Is it true that anything can be traded?"

"As long as I know it, I can trade it. It's just something written in the script."

The Gambler nodded, then asked with relief:

"So...what do I need to pay to trade for the right to use this immunity?"

"Permission to use?"

As a privilege specifically used to test the immutability of fate, the paper company itself is very eager to conduct the corresponding experiment, which will have a great impact on the paper company's future choices.

However, the current situation

[Bystander] thinks about the decision he made after leaving the crime scene, and uses his own power to realize it, just like the hypocritical death in Danganronpa 2 as a decision to replace fate.

Although the [idol] is still in a half-dead state, the [baseball player] who successfully survived seems to be under control, alive but not alive at the same time.

But at least this has escaped the fate of death, which is a good progress.

But that doesn't mean the opportunity to save someone is useless.

After all, before Zhixing came, he didn't think that he would have to take care of the meals for other people. It's okay for one or two people now, but when there are more people in the future, he will definitely need to go to the real world for supplies, and at that time the logistics will be controlled by Monokuma.

Unless you choose to go somewhere else to search for food.

But this is not the end of the world, it's more like a war. The bases of this desperate group are everywhere around. Paper shops don't have things like radar to find food. It's still difficult to find a needle in a haystack in such an environment.

Therefore, holding this right can very likely be used to change one's destiny when necessary.

Even if this so-called right is just something Kamizuru said.

"If you want to trade this thing with me, the value you can offer is obviously not..."

The [Observer] paused, as if thinking about something. After a moment of silence, he spoke again:

"But to be honest, I didn't intend to save any of you, so I can accept it as a trade."

After saying that, the [Onlooker] raised his finger and said:

"However, since it's used to offset death, then naturally, it can only be used on those who will die, that is, people other than the five survivors. Are you still willing to accept such a deal?"

Although the number of people eligible for exemptions had been reduced by five, the [Gambler] still accepted it with a smile on his face.

"So, in the script, I can exercise this right at my leisure, and I won't be voted out before I use it, right?"

"No, no, no, no, well, I'm the one who was given this right, so if you say it directly, no one else will acknowledge it. So, when you need to use it, I have to be present."

"Oh~ But if I remember correctly, you were blacklisted by Monokuma and can't come down, right?"

"If it's the end of your life, I will definitely come to ask you about it. Don't worry about that..."

[Onlooker] was a little hesitant, but still gave a guarantee to maintain the deal.

"I already know what I can get, so...what do I need to exchange?"

[Gambling Master] narrowed his eyes slightly, mentally prepared to refuse.

Because of this transaction, the [Gambler] has indirectly confirmed that his plan will not fail. After all, if he is killed suddenly, he may not be able to wait for the other party to come, especially if he does not speak. Once the black and white bear who is not on good terms with the other party stops him, then he can only use it on himself.

The other party did not have such concerns, but was instead hesitant about not being able to become a school-level referee. Then the truth of the matter was very clear.

[Gambling Master] has participated in many underground gambling games and is very clear about what these organizers want to get. It is either to bet everything on life, or to take everything except life.

Therefore, the [Gambler], who had nothing because he was in a coma when he entered school, did not think that he had anything else to exchange for this immunity, even if it meant providing an excellent case.

Although it would be a pity to miss this transaction, the [Gambler] has never been limited to the rules of the game. He has always participated in the game from a perspective outside the rules of the game. Therefore, even if he does not understand the rules of the game itself, the [Gambler] can rely on his talents to win outside the game.

I'm not a high school-level gamer. If I were to compete in games, I'd be too inferior. I'm a [high school-level gambler] with a 100% winning rate.

Just as the Gambler was about to use the other party's request to obtain more information, the Observer made a very strange request:

"Then sign a contract with me. The price is your soul."

"Soul...?"

[Gambler] looked at the environment he was in. Based on the scene revealed by the prison car fence, he could clearly see that this was the ancient castle he had been looking forward to.
