"Hey, what's the decision now? Fight? Or go back?"

[Baseball Player] asked the paper after not seeing him for a long time.

Zhixing glanced at the other person and immediately thought of the second-generation protagonists who should have been in the deepest part of the impression space.

Although he wanted to ask, Zhixing knew in his heart that the current situation seemed to be that he was being forced into a fight by [Despair] and did not intend to leave much time for him and others.

With Despair's insight and the shadow monsters' ability to obey orders, it won't be long before they are forced into encirclement.

Is it because the level of the secret treasure Black and White Bear is too high, and ordinary contracts cannot influence the other party's thoughts?

No, it's probably because I'm even worse than Eagle in the Velvet Room than Monokuma, who's so far from a false god. I can only be on par with ordinary palaces, so the contract can be fulfilled.

Is there a difference in the amount of desire?

Zhi Xing looked around at Hope's Peak Academy, which had not undergone any drastic changes due to the invasion of the impression space, and finally stopped his gaze on [Lucky].

"Want to go back?"

"Yeah! Let's go back and follow the middle strategy in the clearance guide to defeat Enoshima-san!"

"The walkthrough...oh, that one."

Zhi Xing hesitated for a moment before remembering that his knowledge of existence was conveyed by Kyubey through the transaction with the [Fighter].

Originally, it should have been a cure for the disease, but the outspoken Kyubey directly told all the methods he knew.

Zhixing nodded, then turned and walked towards the closed school. But before leaving, Zhixing hesitated and asked the others:

"Did you all understand what Despair said to me last time?"

"Is it about Homura Akemi? With the name Homura, there should be other people who could be named Homura too... well..."

Zhixing took a deep breath, realizing that he had been analyzed by the other party.

My choice of "Translation" should have served not only as a communication tool but also as a defense against Kyubey's mind-reading abilities. But for an "Analyst" who only analyzes micro-expressions, were my actions too obvious?

If I came to "Dangan 3" and wanted to find someone to pass on a message, then since the protagonists of the first generation were destined to be brainwashed and their memories erased, there would only be three options: [Despair], [Murderer], and [Hope]. If the information was not encrypted, then there would be no point in giving it to [Despair].

As for Kamuzuru Izuru...Hinata Hajime's memories cannot be preserved, and after becoming Kamuzuru Izuru, he himself is not easy to find. From the information communicated so far, apart from the fact that he left the memory space with his back foot, which is very strange, I'm afraid there is only the Chinese font information of [Three Wishes].

I haven't met my future self all the way here. Could it be that my [time travel] is also a parallel world, so only Xiaoyan, who can reincarnate and travel through parallel time and space, can transmit information?

Although he had already vaguely guessed that he had been deceived by [Despair], [Despair] did point out the fact that Zhixing was powerless.

Although he impulsively chose to enter this school-level refereeing competition where he had little chance of winning, making the best of a bad situation and adapting to circumstances were the norm in Zhixing's daily life, and this was also an occasion where he could improvise, which he was not good at at all.

As Zhixing left, the people wearing black and white bear masks behind him also moved forward.

Led by the fighters, bikers and discipline officers, everyone, under the oppression of the army of black and white bears, slowly followed Zhi Xing back to the school they wanted to escape from in the first place.

This time, everyone did not need to crawl out through the loophole as they did when they came out, but went directly into the school through the open gate.

"I will definitely do my best to find out the truth about Kirikiri's father!"

When everyone returned to the hall, the Programmer's avatar appeared on the nearby screen, along with the Programmer's response after learning what was happening in the outside world.

In addition to this, there were soldiers who had completely removed their disguises and returned to their original attire, as well as gamblers who were forcibly brought up, their clothes intact but unable to maintain their image, and who collapsed on the backs of soldiers.

"Kakaka~"

Along with the sound of the mechanism, the heavy door blocked the group of black and white bear masked men outside.

The only ones left in the hall were the original fifteen [Super High School Level] students and the random intruder Paper Line.

Well, if electronic creatures with only souls count.

"There's still some of you who hasn't been to the 4th floor yet, right? Follow me."

The crowd did not waste too much time. Instead, they walked while the survivors explained to those around them what had happened during this period. At the same time, they also learned from each other what the paper bank had done.

[Idol]: "Although I was very scared at the time, they were indeed trying to save me. I was always paying attention to the witch's movements and ready to leave at any time, even though it was too late later."

[Fan Fiction]: "I knew there was magic in this world! Puzi-chan is the angel who descended from the magical world into reality! But... why is she a magical girl from Madoka Magica?"

[Feng Ji]: "There's no such thing as magic. Kyubey is clearly a skilled Persona user, so he can use the power of that world at will, right brother?"

[Rampage]*2: "Yeah, that's right, brother. I heard from my shadow that [Bystander] did sneak into a dangerous place to get food."

[Baseball]: "They were sneaky and even framed me for this, claiming I did something I didn't do, and I had no idea about it beforehand! Do you know how desperate I was at that time? Ah!"

[Program]: "But, we were all saved because of [Bystander], right?"

[Swimming]: "It seems not all of them are here, you see."

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the [Soldier] who was carrying, or rather holding, the [Gambler's] arm in front of him.

[Fighting]: "Looks like we still have to be prepared to attack at any time."

[Literature]: "This must be the [Soldiers]'s doing. We've only been apart for a few days, how could he act like he's been messed around like this!"

[Young Master]: "If she had fallen to this level in just a few days, then it wouldn't be a big deal. But that's not the case right now."

[Detective]: "It seems something happened to the [Gambler], forcing the [Soldier] to take care of her, so they brought her here on purpose."

[Divination]: "Huh? Isn't it because [Soldiers] and [Despair] can't hold on under their combined power?"

Lucky: "Well, Despair is gambling all our lives, right? Then Gambler should wake up and join in, right?"

The guide [Soldier] who was leading the unnecessary trail ahead said, somewhat impatiently, "This is the [Bystander's] doing. If you want to ask him, go ask him!"

"...I'm sorry. I saw you all made it out alive, so I thought she was all right too. Now it seems I must have killed her."

【Despair】: "Objection!"

Seeing Zhixing confessing his harmful behavior, Despair, who was not there originally, suddenly appeared and protested loudly:

"Now we are investigating [Kirikiri Jin], don't think you can get away with it by killing other people!"

[Gambling]: "Ah, is this what failure feels like? This is truly my first time experiencing this. Please take responsibility for your actions~"

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they immediately saw another [Gambler] standing in front of the principal's office door behind [Despair], looking at the paper shop and others who had just arrived.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looked at the [Gambler] on the [Soldier's] back, and then looked at the two [Bosozoku] at the same time, and immediately looked as if they were used to it.

While others would attribute this to the talent of the paper line, only the paper line who knows the cognitive world understands what this means:

The [Gambler] that I saw at the time should not be an illusion. After all, that place is already deep in the memory space. According to the situation when the [Chef] changed Butter into a [Bosozoku], even if it entered its own hall, it would only be trapped in the memory space. Therefore, the only thing that can make it disappear is the [Witch's Barrier].

It seems that Kamizuru Izuru has come out of the underworld. Otherwise, how could a place where even the [Gambler] can become independent be able to trap someone with the talent of [Hope]?

But, did he really just show up now? If not, then... the composition of the protagonists present seems a bit too coincidental, right?

Zhi Xing glanced at everyone and could clearly see that everyone's situation seemed to be different.

An [idol] who returns from the underworld, blessed with the magic power of a witch, and a [gambler] who returns with the help of [hope].

The "bosozoku" who have a dual existence, relying on the desires provided by the Witch's Kiss, and the "discipline officer" who has not yet taken off his personality mask.

A [literary girl] who can communicate with a [murderer], and a [fan writer] who can command cognitive beings to fight when the master of the hall is away.

The [Programmer] whose body died and only his soul remained, and the [Baseball Player] whose shadow was severely damaged but looked completely safe.

Why is there only one? Is this part of Kamizuru's plan? Or is it simply luck?

Although the paper industry is puzzled, reality has not slowed down the pace of time.

As everyone arrived, [Despair] immediately pushed open the door that had been unlocked by [Detective] and led everyone directly into the secret room.

Everyone passed through the principal's lounge, which did not reveal many clues, and went straight into the opened secret room. Naturally, they saw the last skeleton of a man named Jin Kirikiri left in this world, which was wrapped in a gift box.

"Bang, bang, bang~ Big discovery! A body of Jin Kirigiri, whose cause of death is undetermined and reduced to bones!"

[Despair] introduced it to everyone in a tone as if he was showing off his own work.

"Because the criminal was very clever, there were no signs of foul play on the body. It's not an exaggeration to say it was suicide. Therefore, there is no Monokuma file~"

Although [Despair] said this, his eyes were already looking at the paper line standing in front of everyone.

"According to the script, Jin Kirigiri is restrained and unable to move, and the chair is inside a homemade Monokuma rocket."

"After the other person regained consciousness, a black and white bear pressed a button. The rocket closed, broke through the classroom roof, and ascended into the air. It eventually returned to its starting point, leaving only this skeleton inside."

Zhixing took over the work of Monokuma's files and directly told the only information related to the other party.

"As expected, you're also very clear about this kind of thing. It seems that my story has become a masterpiece that can move other worlds~"

Zhixing ignored this and turned around and continued to introduce:

"This is the [Super High School Level Soldier]. As everyone knows, she's Despair's older sister. Although her memory hasn't been wiped, her talents lean towards direct combat, so she doesn't often control Monokuma. But... not long ago, while you were in the restroom, Despair came to me in that world, so she's suspected of being able to control Monokuma as well."

The paper company's introduction surprised everyone else.

After all, before this, although we roughly knew that the clues in this case might not be very complete, at least the murderer could be confirmed to be [Despair]. But now, with the introduction of the paper for the sake of safety, there is actually an alternative answer.

Then, Zhihang extended his hand and introduced:

"This is the former [Super High School Level Gal], the one with the idol talents you often see in magazines. She also has the hidden talent [Super High School Level Analyst]."

"Just like many people say they can't see the future, but in fact they can see it, as an analyst, at a stage when their mental age is not fully developed, they no longer have any hope for the future."

"So she discovered something her own talents couldn't analyze: the untraceable [despair]. And in the excitement of searching for variables, she called herself [Super High School-Level Despair]."

"Yes... Just like what the [Bystander] said... I fell into despair just for this reason... I'm really sorry to everyone who took despair seriously."

Zhi Xing ignored Despair's interruption and continued:

"Although he looks forward to his own despair while watching others despair, seemingly a follower inspired by [Despair], unfortunately, no matter which despair event it was, it was all personally controlled and carried out by him."

"Even in the current situation, she's not only seeing your desperate expressions, but she's also looking forward to encountering the right moment of despair herself, so you guys should keep up the good work."

Those who were thinking were already digesting the information provided by the paper bank, while the "Fortune Teller" who hadn't thought about it was the first to react:

"Huh? Aren't you coming with us?"

Zhi Xing shook his head and said to everyone in front of [Despair] with concern:

"Although Monokuma said that this school-level trial would take place, I have a feeling that fate won't be changed just like that."

"It's best for you to search in pairs, especially for those who have been confirmed dead."

"I'll stay by Fighter's side and make sure I can save her life immediately if anything happens. So... Swimmer, please join us. Just stay within easy reach and don't go anywhere. Wait for the class judges to arrive."

Chapter 378 Analysis

"It's disgusting that such private personal information was leaked~ Could it be because... I like you~?"

"This is all the information I can provide. Isn't that why you asked me to join?"

Zhi Xing looked at the unmoved [Despair] and the [Soldier] who had no intention of taking action, and temporarily believed that the other party really wanted to conduct a school-level judgment.

Although Zhihang was forcing himself to stand out and had the nervousness of giving a speech in front of everyone, this feeling was still no match for the chill that was still rising in his heart.

Although the words of persuasion that [Despair] gave to Zhixing at that time did make Zhixing very moved.

Because once the class judgment is carried out, the only possible outcomes are the annihilation of the protagonist group, the death of [Despair] alone, and the cheating and continued fighting.

Either way, we can escape the fate of only 5 people surviving.

However, the reason why Zhixing separated the rescued people in different ways and places was because he was afraid that [Despair] would gain the ability to understand the world and kill the dead.

The principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket is still clear.

However, Zhixing did not expect that everyone would suddenly appear.

It was obvious that before this, only the [Disciplinary Officer] showed signs of reappearing, while the others were nowhere to be seen, not to mention that the [Disciplinary Officer] and the [Bosozoku] were one inside the school and one outside.

But within the time it took for the Paper Bank to conduct a transaction with [Despair], all these people appeared here in high spirits.

This forces paper companies to be on guard.

Zhi Xing even had [Despair] and took everyone back to the academy under the pretext of the class judgement. After separating them, he harmed all the original dead people as a murderer. After maintaining the decisiveness of the class judgement rules, he ended his own life.

Especially when the privileged [Gamblers] come on the scene.

Although it seems that all the machines in the academy have been hacked by the [Programmer], the [Programmer] is not a [hacker] after all, and Zhixing is not sure whether [Despair] has anticipated this and set up physical mechanisms in the machine in advance so that the [Programmer] cannot detect and shut it down.

Therefore, the safest method is to divide the five survivors into five teams and conduct investigations separately.

[Detective] and [Young Master] were not opposed to this idea. After all, this was the last round of the school refereeing, and necessary precautions were necessary.

So after a brief communication, everyone was divided into teams.

The [Fighter], [Observer], and [Fan Writer] team, supervised by [Swimming], will stay in the corridor on the 4th floor, both to await the outcome and as [Fighters] who want to provide support in the event of a fight.

The [Idol] and [Disciplinary Officer] team, supervised by [Lucky], is tasked with heading to the 5th floor, which was unsealed by Monokuma, to find the scene of Kirikiri Jin's execution.

Under the supervision of [Detective], [Baseball Player] and [Hot Girl] were responsible for conducting interviews and searching the principal's office on the 4th floor;
