Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"Could it be that the [Bystander] has made a new deal with you?"

The [Detective] quickly realized something and asked immediately.

"Huh? Didn't they say that each person only gets one chance?"

The [Literary Girl] was surprised, but Lucky beside her understood what the [Detective] meant:

"Could it be that the [Bystander] at that time wasn't actually real, but was created by that power, just like the [Programmer] that keeps appearing?"

Hearing the question from the [Detective], the [Fighter] also admitted without reservation:

"Well, when I went to deliver something yesterday, he and I made a new deal. But I'm sorry, I can't talk about the specifics. If you want to know, we can explain it in detail when we go to take a bath later."

"Well... this is a rare opportunity, shall we take a morning bath together?!"

[Swimming] was suggested upon hearing this, and the people present, after hearing that the conversation was in the bathroom, associated it with the locker room, a place without surveillance, and immediately responded in unison.

So, in full view of everyone, four women and three men came to the sauna's locker room one after another.

"The Observer asked me to deliver the remains left behind by the Programmer to a hidden room. Could the Detective tell me the location of this hidden room?"

The [Detective] flicked his hair and then started up the [Programmer] which was on standby.

"Good morning, everyone! I just found a photo from the files and was about to tell you about it."

"We already know everything about the photo and the two years of memories we lost."

"Huh! Is that so? I thought I could help..."

[Programmer] felt a little disappointed, but there was really too little it could do at that moment, so he had expected this.

"I came here this time because the [Fighter] wants to take you away, and I wanted to ask for your opinion."

"Me? Why?"

"The reason is unclear, but that's the content of the transaction conducted by the Observer. Did you find any information about the Observer in the computer?"

"No, I can't find any information about the 'Bystander' at all. I also haven't found any similar talents in the deleted student list."

Upon hearing the Programmer's answer, the Fortune Teller, who had been unable to contain himself for a long time, immediately jumped out and reported:

"That guy must have colluded with the mastermind behind the scenes. He only came out to feel involved. Now we only have so many people, and peace is about to be restored, so he started to team up with the traitor to stir up trouble!"

"First they took away the food, giving Monokuma a legitimate reason to stop supplying food. Now they're taking AlterEgo away too. I definitely won't accept that!"

If it was Monokuma who announced the identity of the traitor, perhaps [Swimming] would still be somewhat helpless, but when he saw [Fortune Teller] reveal the information that was made public yesterday first, [Swimming], who had not yet had time to communicate with Sakura, immediately became unhappy.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you hear what happened back then? The hostages were forced to take them hostage, right? Aren't they all living well so far?"

Luck, who had an unshirkable responsibility for the food shortage, also responded:

"And the [bystander] wanted food, probably for the students who were rescued. I just didn't expect Monokuma to respond like this."

"Who has seen it?"

"what?"

"I say, who has actually seen those surviving dead people mentioned by the [Bystanders]?"

"Compared to the one-sided account of the 'bystander', are you going to go to such lengths to deceive yourselves? If it were just one person, it might be possible, but we've seen more than one person die before our eyes! And the other bodies have indeed been autopsied."

The [Young Master] looked at the [Detective]. Although the [Detective] suffered from amnesia, as a talent, judging clues from the corpse was the most basic of basics.

If there was something wrong with the corpse, then as a talented person, there was no way he could miss it, otherwise he would not be worthy of the title of "Super High School Level".

"Both Monokuma's files and the marks on the corpse are completely consistent with the circumstances of the case, and some details are indistinguishable from the real person."

"Real people? Wha...what do you mean? Do you think they're all fake?"

This wasn't a class trial, so the [Literary Girl] didn't hold back on asking questions.

"Although we haven't observed the situation with the Bosozoku, judging by the transformation of the Programmer, it would take less than a night to go from that style to a normal person, so we can't rule out this possibility."

After [Detective] finished speaking, [Lucky] immediately added:

"Also, after the first class judgment, the Spectator probably disappeared. It's just that there was still a Kyubey left in the gym, and Kyubey came to us the next day, so we have a slight error in the time of his departure."

"I'm afraid Kyubey's decision to stay in the gymnasium is to let Monokuma down so he can rescue the Baseball Player."

"That's just your guess, right? Do you have any evidence?"

The fortune teller also realized that the current insider party has the support of Swimming and Lucky, and the detective seems to be on their side because of his good relationship with Lucky.

So, because the [Programmer] was taken away by the [Fighter], the [Fortune Teller] decisively sided with the [Young Master]'s camp.

"Because...he ran away!"

[Swimming] tried hard to recall the situation at that time, and then expressed his own opinion:

"At that time, when the [Disciplinary Officer] questioned him, the guy who called himself Kyubey ran away without saying anything. Perhaps something unexpected happened that wasn't part of his plan."

"But when facing the [Disciplinary Officer], even though his request was still outside his plan, he was willing to stop and think instead of running away. I think... if he truly is a [Bystander], then no matter how difficult the situation, he would definitely not choose to flee, but would keep watching. That's why he is a [Bystander], right?"

The words "Swimming" made everyone fall silent.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with [Swimming]’s logic, but the fact that these words came from [Swimming] is the biggest problem in itself.

And there is only one answer that can explain this situation!

"An impossible talent?"

[Detective] sighed sincerely, as if he had found some clues.

"Um...can everyone please listen to me for a moment?"

During this moment of silence, the voice of the [Programmer] was finally heard by everyone present.

"Just say whatever you want to say. Why do you have to ask for other people's permission?"

Because it is an artificial intelligence, [Literary Girl] kindly gave it some suggestions.

"I'm sorry, but seeing that you're still discussing whether the 'Bystander' is trustworthy, I feel it's not appropriate for me to interrupt, since I didn't experience what happened afterwards."

The programmer's avatar had a lost expression, but then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he looked at everyone outside and said firmly:

"Since it was the [Bystander] who asked the [Fighter] to take me away, then as the [Programmer] I agree with this decision."

"Why? Didn't you hear me? That 'Bystander' guy is actually an accomplice of the mastermind behind this! Whether it's the deal with 'Detective' or the deal with 'Swimming', they're all deceiving you!"

"Not."

The programmer shook his head, then said with a serious expression, pointing his finger:

"Now that it's time to leave, it means the important moment in the transaction that [Bystander] mentioned is about to arrive!"

"Are you saying that the [Bystander] made a deal with you without our knowledge?"

Upon hearing this, [Detective] suddenly thought of something. After looking at [Lucky], he quickly walked towards the door. Then, when he reached the door, he suddenly disappeared from everyone's puzzled gaze.

[Lucky] was slightly stunned, then seemed to realize something, and moved closer to [Programmer], listening carefully to his answer.

"No, I made the deal with the Observer after I died."

"At that time, Zhi Xing said: Since this is what you want, then I will grant your wish. But there is one thing you must pay attention to. I cannot truly transform you into artificial intelligence or data. So you are actually just a ghost attached to the computer. Once the computer is destroyed, your soul will truly die."

"Of course, souls themselves aren't my specialty, so it's not impossible for my soul to change from being attached to a computer to being attached to data. So all you have to do is try your best to move your soul into the data."

"This computer will inevitably be taken out and destroyed by Monokuma. After all, Monokuma knows this very well. So I'm going to find a way to have someone escort you to the room with the internet. Be careful, if you tell the truth, there's a high chance the mastermind behind it will destroy the room in advance. So if you plan to make it public, you must go there immediately."

"Your life or death will determine the survival of all the deceased. Once true death occurs, it means that resisting fate can only delay the arrival of death, rather than truly changing it in the end."

"So, live on. Even if you become a digital life, live on! This is what I expect of you. If you can do this, then I'll have fulfilled my promise."

Before anyone could process what was going on, they saw the Detective, who had vanished, reappear from the spot and shout to everyone:

"Oh no! There's a micro-surveillance system in the locker room. Monokuma can hear everything we say here. Move immediately!"

Everyone was shocked again when they heard this, and at this moment, the [Noble Young Master] obviously realized something and said:

"What are you still standing there for? Wasn't your deal with him to take the [Programmer] away? Act now!"

The [Fighter] immediately rushed to the [Programmer]'s side, closed the computer, and rushed out immediately.

"There's a hidden room behind the wall in the last tool room in the men's restroom on the second floor!"

Seeing that the inheritance of the [Programmer], the only person who could help in escaping, was taken away, the [Fortune Teller] wanted to refute it, but since he was the only one in the opposition, he did not say anything offensive.

"Follow!"

[The Noble Young Master] gave orders and then ran ahead, leading the troops.

"Wait for me! Lord Bai Ye~"

[Literary Girl] was the second to follow, followed by [Swimming] who was concerned about her friend and [Fortune Teller] who ran with everyone.

Lucky wanted to run over, but when he looked back at the Detective, who was still standing there, he couldn't help but ask:

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just saw the [Bystander]. Let's go over there."

Although the [Detective] was also concerned about the situation of the [Bystander], it was obviously not the right time. So after coming to his senses from his thoughts, he immediately chose to go to the hidden room.

[Lucky] left the locker room and looked back at the place. Although he had been here last night, the locker room at that time was filled with scattered outlines. Now it seems that Monokuma is very likely to have come in and added surveillance.

[Lucky] Although he seems to have become an impossible person, this impossibility does not have much impact on his physical strength.

So when [Lucky] rushed to the toilet on the 2nd floor.

What came into view was the [Fighter] standing before several black and white bears as others watched, but he no longer had the computer screen in his hand.

Chapter 366 School Rules

"What's the situation now?"

[Lucky] looked at the situation in front of him and couldn't help but ask the classmates who were standing by and watching to find out what was going on.

"From what I've seen, Monokuma probably didn't know about this hidden room, so there wasn't a passage for him to enter or exit. So after the [Fighter] stayed inside for a while, he pushed Monokuma's body, forcing his way out without violating school rules."

[Young Master] faced such a scene, but he still explained the situation to [Lucky] with ease.

Upon hearing this, [Lucky] looked into the arena again and noticed that [Fighter]'s hands were not completely clasped together, but seemed to be covering something.

"Could it be that he was injured?"

"Of course, there's no fool like that who would come out with a machine in his head! Isn't it inevitable that he'll get hurt?"

The [Literary Girl] leaned sideways, intending to stay away from such occasions, but considering the danger of the [Nobleman] being here, she stayed. At this moment, she was about to take a look, but because she heard the sound in the toilet in advance, she avoided her sight in advance.

At this moment, he was afraid that after seeing the blood, he would faint and turn into a "murderer", but he also wanted to pay attention to the situation.

"This shouldn't be the so-called "torture trick" thing, right? Are they really not in the same group?"

The Fortune Teller still looked incredulous, which made Lucky feel a little strange about the other party's reason for suspicion, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

After understanding the situation, [Lucky] looked towards the toilet door and shouted:

"Is there anything we can do to help?"

One of the three black and white bears in the standoff looked back, then suddenly retracted its outstretched claws and said as if nothing had happened:

"It's so shameless! As an active female high school student, she actually carried a men's laptop to the women's restroom. What did she want to do? It's like taking a shit in public. It's obvious to everyone!"

"As expected, you've been monitoring AlterEgo's situation the entire time. If you've let it go until now, why do you suddenly want to stop it?"

[Detective] asked softly, but Monokuma wouldn't make a deal, so how could he possibly answer truthfully?

"AlterEgo? Another personality? A person? Hula! I've already added a school rule before. We can't let the vengeful spirits of dead students interfere with the students' normal lives."

"The evil spirit is gone, the evil spirit is gone!"

The black and white bear suddenly changed his clothes, looking like he was exorcising ghosts, and wanted to walk towards the toilet.

But the [Fighter] stood at the doorway, showing no intention of backing down.

"How is it? Is this the extent of your attack?"

Although Monokuma is a robot, its claws are quite powerful. Unless it is intentional, a head-on collision is enough to knock a person to the ground.

Moreover, because the [Fighter] used his body to push the black and white bears away, he could feel that these black and white bears were obviously heavier than the black and white bear that appeared frequently and was equipped with bombs.

Although Monokuma's lethality could easily knock down other non-combatants, the [Fighter] did not resist.

Because as early as when the transaction was made, Zhihang had attached the real cause of the fighter's death.

Violation of school rules!!!

Zhixing only recalled this after the transaction with [Swimming].
