Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

After all, although the [Fighter] at that time wanted to meet up with others with the idea of ​​having a friendly exchange, in fact, long before the agreed time arrived, the [Fighter] had already prepared to commit suicide.

That's why he prepared a suicide note and broke the door lock before coming to the agreed location.

Although the [Fighter] listened to the information provided by the paper bank, he also knew the specific information about his transaction.

"The mastermind behind this is hoping to use this internecine warfare to transform his talent into [Super High School Level Despair]. Therefore, he has been involved in this game from the very beginning. So, if you vote for [Despair], then [Despair] will abide by its own rules and punish itself. You don't need to use force to force it."

"In other words, the other party will also abide by the established school rules?"

"That's right, and in my script, Despair was voted out as a murderer."

"But in your script, am I not the only one still alive?"

"There's another person who should have died, but it seems he didn't die."

"I see."

"You really don't need me to tell you my name?"

"No, if I knew, I would definitely be hostile to it. If that [Despair] reacts and threatens me, it will be difficult to deal with."

[Fighter] covered his wound and glanced at it sideways. He found that the bloodstain was still the normal color and there was no sign of poisoning, which further confirmed his judgment.

Although I couldn't attack the other party due to school rules, the other party also didn't dare to really attack me since I didn't resist at all. Because if I did that, I, who was already doomed to die, would become the breaking point to drag [Despair] into the class referee.

But the other party seems to know this, so should we think of other ways?

The [Fighter] watched as Monokuma turned around again, speaking to the other onlookers without displaying any aggression. He couldn't help but pull out his electronic student handbook and review the scene:

In the electronic student handbook issued by Monokuma, every school rule is listed, and it is clearly stated that if the school rules are violated, the violator will be punished.

1. Students can only live together in this college, and there is no limit to the length of time they can live together.

2. Nighttime is from 10pm to 7am. Please note that some areas are off-limits during nighttime hours.

3. Students are only allowed to sleep in their designated rooms in the dormitory area. Any intentional sleeping in other rooms will be considered as dozing off and will be punished.

4. Students are free to explore everything at Hope's Peak Academy, and the school will not impose any special restrictions.

5. It is strictly forbidden to use violence against Monokuma, the principal, and it is forbidden to damage surveillance cameras.

6. Anyone who kills any of his classmates will be able to graduate, but he cannot let other students know that he is the murderer.

7. If a murder occurs among students, a class hearing will be held a certain period of time after the body is discovered, and all students are obliged to participate.

8. If the correct murderer is identified during the class trial, only the murderer will be executed.

9. If the real murderer cannot be pointed out during the class trial, only the murderer can graduate and the other students will be collectively executed.

10. [Bystander] holds the position that he will never become a murderer, so [Bystander] cannot be selected in the voting process.

11. It is forbidden to lend the student handbook to others. Anyone who lends it will be punished.

12. In the mutual killing college life, the same prisoner can kill a maximum of two people.

13. Regardless of whether it is the victim or the murderer, once it is confirmed that they are not dead, they will be executed immediately!

14. Do not damage locked doors.

15. School rules will be updated from time to time depending on circumstances.

After memorizing all the school rules shown in the student handbook, the [Fighter] vaguely guessed that the school rule he might actively violate was Article 14.

This item is added specifically to prevent [Fighter] from violently unlocking the rooms when exploring the 4th floor because several obviously critical rooms are locked.

Of course, the additional school rules will not hold previous behaviors accountable.

Because at the beginning, the school rules only reached Article 6, so the idols at that time were unable to save their lives because of the school rule of "not breaking the locks".

Are 6, 8, and 11 the only ones that can be used?

Although nine of the fourteen school rules clearly punishable by death if violated, the remaining rules, 10 and 13, are for "bystanders," while the others, 1, 4, and 7, are intended to restrict the scope of group activities.

However, as the operator of Monokuma himself, he can enter the restricted areas at will, and he can also divide out an extra room in the dormitory area so that he will not destroy himself. As for the locked doors, the other party also has the key to open them.

As for the rental of student handbooks, based on the current exploration of the 4th floor, it seems that only the swimming room on the 2nd floor needs to be used to separate the men's and women's changing rooms, while the original bathhouse on the 1st floor does not need it at all.

If punishment itself is a form of murder, then did Monokuma, who had already carried out two executions, let go of the [Soldier] who was voted out for this reason?

Although this possibility exists, because past events were forgiven before the school rules were announced, the "Fighter" was not sure whether the number of "baseball players" and "bosozoku" members was included in the school rules that were announced after the third case.

But even if it is taken into account, if you want to use this rule to conduct a school-level judgment on [Despair], the other party will need to kill again.

This kind of situation where one has to passively wait for the opponent to make a mistake is not what the [Fighter] wants.

"Pfft, pfft, actually, in the food every day, there will be one or two unprocessed poisonous foods due to lack of manpower. Although it won't be fatal, it can still make people feel weak."

"There's an experiment overseas: suppose there are 50 bottles of water, one of which is poisonous. How do you distinguish the poisonous water?"

"The answer is simple! Just throw away a bottle of water and announce to everyone else that the poisoned water is gone. If someone gets poisoned, they'll say the poisoner must have made a mistake and poisoned the water twice."

"It's clearly your own fault, yet you're trying to blame someone who clearly told you the water was poisonous. Is there any such thing as this in the world?"

"It's OK if you don't drink it."

"That's it, this is the motive this time!"

"The murderer who was afraid to act because of concerns about his physical condition now has a rare opportunity."

"Well~ That's the situation, bye~"

The fighter came to his senses and just happened to not miss the motive described by Monokuma, but still couldn't believe that Monokuma gave up and left like that.

Just when the [Fighter] rushed up with the computer, Monokuma was here trying to open the hidden door, and left one to block the door.

However, although the black and white bear was the same size as a human, the [Fighter] still managed to pass through the wall and successfully got to the hidden room. He then pushed open the door and pushed it up, and then quickly plugged in the power cord and network cable.

After finishing, he found that the bookshelf blocking the door had been pushed open a little, and the black and white bears were about to squeeze in, so the [Fighter] took the initiative to walk out and carried all the black and white bears, which had increased from two to three, out of the toilet.

I clearly wanted to go in so badly at that time. Was it because everyone else was there, so I was trying to avoid school rule 6?

When the [Fighter] was still thinking about how to trick the mastermind into attacking him, Monokuma disappeared and everyone gathered around, expressing their desire to see what the [Programmer] was up to.

Although the [Fighter] was worried that there might be a mastermind among the people present, he considered that there was also the [Detective]. If the other party really wanted to do something, it would most likely be discovered by the [Detective], so he turned around and led the way.

Everything was going well after Monokuma chose to leave.

But at this last moment, everyone was surprised to find that the laptop computer that was supposed to be in the hidden room had two wires left in place, proving that it had existed.

While everyone was still focused on the disappearance of the [Programmer], they turned their attention to the [Fighter].

"Touch! Touch!"

There were two sounds with a very short interval between them. The sound of the toilet door opening was heard, accompanied by the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away.

【Lucky】Because I came late, I was always at the end.

Hearing this, he immediately chased after him, but the open toilet door blocked Lucky's view of the fleeing person.

Suddenly, I saw a figure flash by in the mirror in the bathroom.

That was...a petite figure like a girl's back.

At the same time, Paper Bank was stuck in a classroom without being able to go to the toilet.

"Why are you here? Aren't you the one controlling Monokuma outside? [Super High School Level Despair]... No, [Super High School Level Analyst] Enoshima Junko."

Enoshima said cutely with his hands clasped like flowers:

"As expected, it's still Brother Kyubey who cares about me. Unlike that man who abandoned me after having sex with me, he only bosses us around and doesn't want to understand me at all~"

Zhi Xing kept a distance from the other party, allowing himself to react immediately, and asked [Despair]:

"Is something wrong?"

"Even facing a beautiful girl known as a 'Super High School-Level Gal Model', you're amazingly unmoved. You deserve praise."

Jiang Zhidao put on glasses as if in disguise, looked at Zhixing seriously and said:

"Then I'll cut to the chase. You... haven't made today's deal with anyone else, right? So, as one of the sixteen students involved in this fratricide, I want to make a deal with you, too."

"As for the content of the deal...just let me be the ultimate beneficiary of this game. Since you already know that this game is about integrating talents, you should be able to do it."

Chapter 367 The wish is fake?

"What's the point of telling me this? I don't have the ability to make a deal. After all, there shouldn't be any information gap between you and me."

Zhi Xing moved his position to get closer to the wall to ensure that he could [pass through the wall], while frowning at the [Despair] in front of him.

"Hey~ That's so cunning! I also want to experience the feeling of making a deal~ You see, the power of the [Disciplinary Officer] is quite good, super powerful!"

[Despair] stood there, looking at the paper line that was pulling away with a look of dissatisfaction on his face:

"Hey~ I also want to experience~ what that impossible talent is like~"

"That thing isn't any good, is it? Shouldn't you have seen that, even though it's slow, the damage caused by the [Disciplinary Officer] will automatically heal."

After the third class trial, some people went to see the swimming pool. After all, there was a hole in the wall that was smashed by a fan fiction writer and could not be approached.

But apart from the crime scene still being preserved in the impression space, the wall in reality has been restored to its original state.

The paper industry is well aware of this, because the knife marks all over the house made by the "baseball player" at that time also disappeared in this way.

This made Zhixing realize that even if he obtained the power of the personality mask, its ultimate effect would only be to change his heart.

It is impossible to make this work in reality.

Because the power of the cognitive world cannot really affect reality, the door is closed and cannot be opened.

It is just like a projection, projecting the damage caused to the building in the impression space into reality.

Theoretically, the real buildings have not been damaged, it is just the impression space that is projected into reality.

As time goes by, just as the two-dimensional style gradually returns to real people, these projected impression spaces will also disappear, allowing the already intact buildings in reality to return to their original state.

Although this is very similar to the cognitive world version of [Wall Penetration], this kind of wall penetration not only requires the ability to destroy the wall, but also requires the real room itself to be open and enter, so it basically has no great effect.

"Indeed, according to you, the effect of that power on inanimate objects is negligible, but hasn't the [Fan Fiction Writer] who was defeated head-on still not recovered?"

"Oh? So you've already verified the identity and confirmed it's the real person?"

Looking at [Despair] who can freely enter the impression space with his own talents, Zhixing did not hide his act of saving people. After all, it was not the first time it was mentioned.

"Of course it's a real person. I put a lot of effort into stuffing him in."

[Despair] said this, and then saw Zhi Xing's eyelids droop halfway, as if trying to hide his thoughts. He couldn't help but say dejectedly:

"It was clearly my conclusion, but Mr. Spectator still doesn't believe it. As expected, you and he both dislike me."

"True despair cannot be achieved through deception. Only the absolutely inescapable truth can make people experience true despair. Don't you agree, Kyubey-kun?"

"Whether it's the despair of impending execution, or the unanimous conclusion that a companion is the culprit after eliminating all other possibilities, this kind of thing... is getting a bit tiresome."

"Hey, tell me, how did that man explain it to you? What's the story behind that impossible talent?"

Zhi Xing looked at the classroom door, thinking about the progress there, and asked with a frown:

"Why? Did you and I hear a different version? Aren't you staging this fratricide just for the sake of the Impossible Man?"

"I just saw that he was interested in the method of talent fusion, so I wanted to help him. I wanted to force the talents that couldn't be fused together into one body to achieve complete fusion. That's why I deliberately set up this game."

"There's actually a purpose to killing each other that I don't know about. It's too much. They actually hid it from me!"

Zhixing recalled Kamizuru Deru's explanation and felt that the so-called three wishes did not need to be told to [Despair], because [Despair] discovered this situation from the facts first, so after finding Kamizuru Deru, he invited the other party to witness [the biggest and most desperate event in Hope's Peak Academy].

If we go by the theory that Kamizuru Izuru is a reincarnation, perhaps this method is reserved for the omniscient one.

Of course, due to Kamizuru Izuru's [luck], it's not impossible that he might just come across a way to fulfill his third wish.

While Zhi Xing was thinking, Despair unknowingly moved closer and asked:

"Although I don't know why you came here, but is the explanation given by that man really the truth?"

"I'm clearly a perfect match for him, yet the truth has been hidden from him. So, why did you come here? Was it because he gave you a script? Is the current situation still developing according to the script? Or... have you been used as well?"

Zhixing raised his eyebrows. Although the truth was different from what [Despair] thought, after all, the script was the memory that Zhixing brought from outside the world, but regarding the motivation, it was the same as what the other party said.

The purpose of the paper book is to find Kamijou Izuru to give him some advice, and to spread the Witch's Kiss to see if the witch's ability has been improved or changed, and at the same time to explore the power of the cognitive world that he still retains.

There is no need to waste time going to where the protagonists are.

After all, after only one day of communication, Zhixing gained a lot of skills in using power. If he had not come during the more than ten days of delay, he might have already developed his power to the limit by Kamizuru Deru.

The reason why Zhixing came here was not because of the privilege promised by the other party to protect a person and use him to study the power of correcting the irreversible fate, but because... Kamizuru Izuru described the conditions for Zhixing to "travel back" in the name of three wishes.

This can be said to be the most important retreat for the Paper Industry, much more important than the cognitive world or the witch's barrier.

Once you understand the factors that meet the conditions, you can take bolder actions at certain critical moments.
