Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

However, if other people are added, it is hard to say whether these things can last for a week under the normal consumption of three meals a day... no, two meals a day.

What's more, there are more than a dozen mouths that need to be fed.

"And if they want to move, they need to rely on another dimension, but that dimension... I don't want them to fall into the wolf's mouth just after escaping the tiger's den."

"Although there are some among them who are very skilled in physical training, such as the [Fighters], but..."

Zhixing shook his head. Although these talented people were able to perform at a level far beyond their current profession, and were even heading towards becoming the world's number one, to the point where they could tear apart the Black and White Bear Robot Legion with their bare hands, they still relied on physical strength after all, and did not have the aura that the masters in Liangshanpo had.

Without the attack bonus of energy, it is difficult to destroy even a familiar.

However, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on until I can escape from the academy.

"Even if we can rely on the strength of just a few of them to survive in that space, how will we solve the problem of food?"

Hope's Peak Academy is the birthplace of all events.

Although it is not the center of the siege of the Desperate Group, Makoto Naegi and others can build this shelter safely.

But when [Despair] dominates the academy, at least a large area around it will be surrounded by groups of despair.

There is even a high probability that the food supply in the academy is in short supply, even if these desperate groups cooperate with the logistics work carried out by the command post of [Despair].

"It's inevitable to return to reality and look for food, but is there any extra food that is not under the surveillance of those people?"

"Once any one of you is discovered, what awaits you will be a pure game of force."

"I can even imagine the [Fighter] sacrificing himself to cover your retreat."

"The only people left alive will probably be the [Fighter]'s friend, the [Swimmer], the [Murderer] who's responsible for his survival, and the [Nobleman] with whom he's closely connected."

"And the [Detective] that Makoto Naegi cares about will all be able to survive this chaotic battle with the help of [Luck]."

"Oh, how the [Fortune Teller] managed to survive I don't know, but a situation like that would only allow fate to repeat itself."

Of course, although the paper industry has anticipated such an outcome, this is not a reason for the paper industry not to do so.

After all, Paper Bank still has powerful weapons like Witch's Kiss.

It might work wonders for those affected people in desperate groups.

Zhixing also considered taking everyone away as a last resort and had no intention of giving up.

"Fate, I see. I was wondering why the power of this world didn't appear even though you were so brave. Is that so..."

The [Light Music Club] suddenly understood and pointed at the paper and said affirmatively:

"Perhaps, when you realize that you are not imprisoned by so-called fate, that is the moment when you truly dare to resist!"

"Defy fate, bet your talent as a [spectator], bet your soul!! Oh oh, Wei Bu's blood is boiling!"

As if a scar had been uncovered, Zhi Xing looked at his hands and sighed with regret:

"If I had just come into contact with this power and heard what you said, maybe I would have been willing to try it... After all, whether it can be achieved is one thing, but as long as I generate enough emotions, that would be enough for me to awaken my personality mask first."

"But the contract..."

The reason why Zhixing suddenly decided to make a deal with the protagonists was because he had signed a contract with the butterfly, which was the wish-maker in that world mentioned by Kamizuru.

Zhixing has reason to suspect that what was sealed by the butterfly at that time was not only the different world navigation app, but also the awakening of the personality mask may have been sealed together.

If you want to lift this invisible seal, you must first observe other people and understand the contract of this cognitive world, so that you can find a way to break it in the next world.

The mood of the paper industry faded quickly and faded just as quickly.

As a homebody who is often depressed by independent thinking, life provides a threshold for despair, which naturally brings optimism about other things.

Therefore, the paper company quickly laughed and said:

"Come to think of it, I've already successfully completed two contracts. I still have eight people I haven't traded with yet. Perhaps without any resistance to fate, I can gain the first power from this cognitive world."

"Huh? First? What are you talking about? Haven't you been able to enter and exit the Impression Space for a long time?"

[Literary Girl] pointed out the problem with the paper in confusion.

"Although I'm starting to become proficient in entering this world, it's still too passive. Furthermore, compared to another dimension, if I want to enter this world, I'll drag everyone around me in with me. This isn't a power I control. Besides, I'm not that free. Even if I want to leave now, I can't go back."

"Hahahahahahaha... There's actually such an idiot hahahahaha"

The [Murderer], with his tongue hanging out and his hands covering his stomach, drooling from laughter, once again took over the shadow's body and laughed non-stop.

"Hmm? What's wrong with me?"

Zhi Xing looked at the [Murderer] in confusion, not understanding what he meant. Fortunately, the [Murderer] was honest and straightforward, even for a shadow.

"If you want to get out, isn't that easy?"

"Just place yourself in the same place as when you came in."

"what?"

Seeing that Zhi Xing didn't wake up immediately, the [Light Music Club] added:

"In other words, we should consider a certain place as part of our cognition. The reason our previous temple was located on the surface of the earth was because we perceived it as a fixed location in reality."

"Ah~ By the way, I often use this method of self-recognition to come to my real self and listen to the light music club's performance~"

As if a flash of inspiration came to him, Zhixing finally realized what the method the other party was talking about was, and also understood why he couldn't get out of the impression space.

"Realistic coordinates?"

Zhi Xing frowned and tried to fall into deep thought.

Indeed, if you are in the temple, you can also know that you have left the temple through the intersection, rather than leaving directly from the temple.

But in this imaginary space, if one wanted to leave directly, where could one locate it? Without a place like the execution scene that corresponded to reality, leaving was impossible.

No, maybe at that time, I didn’t actually [visit] reality. After all, the upper level is also an impression space.

In other words...it was the [Baseball Player] who took the initiative to locate my real self and brought me over?

In this case, even if these shadows can be located in reality, I can locate them together with them through contact, but they still cannot truly appear in reality, and I have to think of other ways to get out.

Before Zhi Xing could calmly figure out how to return to reality from here using the newly discovered [coordinates], he heard the [Killer Ghost] speak as if he was thinking about something.

"Speaking of which, those lovely men I met, although they only existed in my perception at first, as I developed them, they also located their own shadows."

"There's a blood carnival room in my hall. People often become very similar to real people in that room when they're there. But that's simply because they've lost their cognition of reality. So, they're drawn in by the blood carnival, escaping their original location and coming to my hall."

"It's a pity, but none of them can truly enter my heart...except Lord Bai Ye, ah~"

Zhi Xing looked at the infatuated [Murderer], and his first reaction was such important information, why didn't you tell me earlier, and his second reaction was hiss~ I remember Jushin mentioned that he was very interested in the file of the killer Xiang, could it be that he recognized his shadow?

"What did you say just now?"

"Did their souls come to your temple through cognition because of the same words as those in your temple?"

"Souls and such are too advanced, right? Although we are in the cognitive world here, shadows are not souls, they are just a part of the soul. So if the soul disappears, we don't know where it will go~"

The [Light Music Club] laughed and stood in front of Zhixing, who was about to approach the [Murderer], trying to interrupt his thoughts. However, these words seemed to satisfy Zhixing's inspiration, and Zhixing turned around and asked in confirmation:

"Well, if I have a way to keep the soul from disappearing in a short time... can you keep him here? Through the blood orgy in that room."

Chapter 328 (Eating Man Warning) I will never allow such a thing

Pushing open the half-open door of the women's locker room, Zhixing took a look at the machine gun hanging from the ceiling.

As a measure to maintain the purity of the school, the forceful measures to prohibit the opposite sex from entering the wrong door have not yet been activated without even verifying the electronic handbook.

Zhixing knew that this was a sign that Monokuma was still paying attention to the situation here, so he walked into the crime scene where there was no surveillance camera, and immediately saw the "Programmer" hanging by the power strips, and the bloody carnival copied on the wall.

"Alas, time is running out. We must hurry."

Zhixing half-covered one eye and looked at the progress of the witch in his sight in preparing the magic soup.

It's been so long since I've seen this kind of perspective... Is it true that I can only see it this way when the witch contacts me actively, or... is it because she's eating?

Zhixing turned his attention to the soul of another Chihiro Fujisaki, the "Programmer," who was placed on the maintenance table, with anticipation and fear flickering in his heart.

Although the soul of the "Programmer" was captured by the Witch's Kiss, is it really a soul, or just a part of it?

He walked to the words written in blood, took out a rag from his pocket, and carefully spread it evenly on the blood words on the wall that had not yet dried, while confirming the current situation.

When the other party took action, I immediately entered the witch's barrier and rushed to the witch's room. As expected, the lives lost outside the barrier did not need to come in through the maze outside the barrier, but went directly to the core witch's room.

Because I had experience persuading [idols], and the other person's body was really petite, I just carried her on my back, and the witch couldn't tell who she was, so she was guided by me to prepare dinner.

However, simply placing the computer on the other person had no effect. Compared to the [idol] who died in the shadow, the [programmer] didn't even have a breath or a heartbeat. What's more important is that Zhi Xing had returned to reality, while he was still inside the barrier.

After smoothing out all the writing, Zhixing looked at the corpse whose blood had not yet coagulated, closed his eyes and stared at the door of the locker room outside, covering his mouth and said:

"Impression space, activated... Real space, Hope's Peak Academy, women's locker room!"

Along with the flickering of paper lines, a two-dimensional cognitive existence called "Murderer" appeared in reality. He was wearing a dark female school uniform, but his hands were equipped with multiple scissors and he had a long tongue.

"I don't have much time. Come on, you should be here now, right?"

Zhi Xing said to the cognitive existence [Murderer] in front of him.

"This guy is a real corpse. I don't feel the soul you mentioned at all. Is it really necessary?"

"It's okay, just do it, you might get a surprise."

After erasing the handwriting imitated by Jushin Byakuya, the paper acted to untie the [Programmer] while looking at the original handwriting written by the [Murderer] himself.

What a pity, it's not a ritual. I was thinking that the real world with [Psychics] and [Folklorists] would be different, but are they used as coordinates simply because of their similarities?

Knowing that the words themselves had no so-called power, Zhi Xing withdrew his gaze and looked at the corpse of the "Programmer", whose head had tilted to the side, exposing his neck.

Although she went to meet the other party's shadow on purpose to be on the safe side, the witch's kiss finally fell on the shadow instead of being exchanged to reality. Is it true that the witch's power is more inclined towards the cognitive world?

Zhi Xing took a deep breath, suppressed his wandering thoughts, and made an excuse for himself:

"Now that you've stated your desire, let me see how persistent you are."

Seeing the death so close, Zhixing still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, the last time was when he faced Mami, and at that time Zhixing could clearly know that Mami could survive, but now this person will never wake up again.

Although a deal has been made to bring together the relationship between Jushin Byakuya and the Slayer Xiang, allowing the other party to come into reality through the two-dimensional [Murderer] created by himself.

But it has been so long since death, can it really still be effective?

Zhixing was worried, but his hands did not move slowly. Instead, he quickly put the body down and handed the petite, weightless boy to the [Murderer].

Even though it was a corpse, the [Murderer] was not too picky about what to eat. After all, such a unique man was also his target in the past. So he quickly took out a few special scissors from his sleeves and nailed the [Programmer] to the wall.

Seeing that everything was ready, Zhi Xing nodded and said to the two-dimensional style [Murderer]:

"Let me be frank, these scissors aren't the same style I use. They're just vaguely similar. I'm afraid they'll change back to the same style after a while."

"It's okay. It's enough for you to hold on until the search phase. According to the script, the investigation will probably start tomorrow morning. Anyway, thank you for your hard work. I will trouble you again for the next "resurrection"."

"Hmph, don't forget the deal I made with you. I promised Lord Bai Ye a long time ago that I would no longer kill people casually!"

After saying that, the [Murderer] took a look at the bloody words that were erased by the paper because he arrived too late and failed to stop it, bit his thumb, then turned around and disappeared.

After taking one last look at the transformed crime scene, Zhixing disappeared from the locker room without looking back.

Although both of them disappeared, the places they arrived at were completely different.

[The Murderer] returned to his own palace, while Zhi Xing came to the witch's barrier.

Without going through the witch's barrier, with the help of the witch's vision, Zhi Xing came directly to the witch's room.

Glancing at the magic soup that was almost ready, Zhixing sighed and looked at the unconscious [Programmer] beside him.

"The target of the Witch's Kiss hunt will be directly captured by the Witch's barrier."

"To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure where I would come in. I just roughly guessed that I would end up in the room. Luckily, I guessed right."

"The only problem is the soul."

Looking at the shadow of Chihiro Fujisaki standing beside him, who looked like a corpse just like in reality, he tried hard to think of a solution based on the current situation.

"If there is any power I have come into contact with that can preserve the soul intact, it is only the witch under Kyubey's technology."

"Judging from what Kyubey described, Kyubey is indeed far ahead of humans and is already able to extract the soul, which we consider to be the nervous system, and materialize it into the Soul Gem."

"And the witch was born from the soul gem, that is, from the soul."

"So the souls collected through the witch's methods are very likely to be complete."

Zhixing looked at the doll tower room in the distance and remembered that Miyano Akemi's soul was one of the dolls, waiting for Zhixing to find a possible way to resurrect it.

Although Zhixing is not sure whether he can really turn the familiar back into a human, or even whether the other party's soul is still alive, it is because Zhixing has completely transformed into a familiar 2+N times, and feels that turning into a familiar will not harm the soul, which is his speculation.

In order to prove that the witch has such ability, Zhixing did not stop the [Bosozoku]'s deadly attack.

However, it now seems that the existence of the "Programmer" is very likely to prove that the statement that the soul can be extracted by the witch is most likely false.
