Zhixing's eyes lingered between [Disciplinary Officer] and [Lucky].
Knowing that Kamizuru Izuru was waiting for him at the bottom of the Impression Space, according to the conditions of the [Three Wishes], [Omniscience], [Omnipotence], and the impossible birth, all three must be met.
Zhixing is not sure whether the impossible person [Disciplinary Officer] in the past can meet the requirements, nor is he sure whether the current class judges can make [Luck] become the impossible person and be called [Super High School Level Hope] if they vote directly.
"What does 'not dying' mean? Does that mean all the people who have died so far are alive because of this?" The [Fortune Teller] couldn't understand anything related to the mysticism.
Zhi Xing shook his head and asked the Soldier:
"That day when I brought you into this world, you tried to kill me, and you succeeded, didn't you?"
"Yes." The [Soldier]'s eyes were a little evasive, but he still responded.
The [baseball player], who was also an attempted criminal, couldn't help but look at the [idol], with a hint of evasion in his eyes.
Then, Zhi Xing looked at the unconcerned [Gambler] and the unconcerned [Bosozoku] shadows, and asked:
"So, can you tell whether the current [Despair] is its true form in reality?"
The two of them shook their heads as if they had already made a judgment and said:
"This isn't our temple, so it's a little hard to tell who the other party is."
"If I'm just checking, she gives me the same vibe as the black and white bear outside."
Zhixing looked at the protagonists, and after seeing that everyone accepted this reason, he still verified the third reason.
"Is the [Programmer] here? Can you control the situation here?"
The two display screens next to Monokuma's referee seat suddenly lit up.
The avatar of [Programmer] also immediately appeared on the screen.
"I'm sorry, I tried to look for it after I came here, but I couldn't find the mechanisms for those execution grounds."
Zhi Xing and everyone else's eyes turned to [Despair].
"Hey~, no matter what the result is, I can accept it~!"
"Even if it's a punishment, it's the same~!"
Zhi Xing turned his head again and looked at the [Soldier].
"If you were voted out directly, would you be able to accept the result?"
The soldier pondered his own position, then looked at Lucky, with whom he had a heart-to-heart talk, and finally came up with an answer:
"No."
Zhi Xing nodded in understanding, looked at the protagonists present, and asked knowingly:
"Now, who is for it and who is against it?"
This time, no one stood up to refute him, so Despair raised his hand and announced excitedly:
"Hey~ Hey~! Then, let's officially begin the discussion~!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the [Soldier], and the [Soldier] had already calmed himself down.
"Do you already know how the murderer committed the crime?"
"Yes."
"Did you kill the principal when we woke up?"
"No."
"You didn't commit the crime through special talents, did you?"
"No."
"Huh? Is it or isn't it?"
"...It's not what you said."
"Did Principal Kirikiri Jin die after being launched into space on a rocket and then falling, as the [Bystander] described?"
"Yes."
"Are you responsible for performing the memory surgery on us?"
"No."
"Why do you know our secret?"
""
"Is it because we used to go to school together?"
"Yes."
"We're classmates, and we can share secrets with each other. Don't you feel uncomfortable doing this?"
"...meeting."
"Could it be that you are the type who will do whatever your sister says?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you destroy me after you took me away? Was it also because of my sister's request?"
"...no."
"Have you ever held an execution? Tsk, when you attacked the former principal, were we already under your control?"
"No."
"Huh? Are you saying we all still have our memories from that time? Then why did it disappear when I didn't know it was built?"
"Yes."
"When administering the amnesiac, did everyone do it together?"
"No."
"If we win this class trial, will you execute Despair together with him?"
"Do not."
Zhixing listened to everyone's questions, looked at the "idol" who hadn't woken up yet, and helplessly raised his own question:
"During the execution of Jin Kirikiri, Monokuma was controlled by someone, right?"
"Yes."
Chapter 383 The Murderer of the Wuqiri Ren Case
As the [Soldier] finished his reply, everyone's eyes turned to the unconscious [Idol].
But the [idol] had no one to support him and could only lean on his seat, leaving him with no energy to ask questions.
"Hey, what's going on with the [idol]? We were able to communicate normally before!"
The Baseball Player, who had no idea about this, asked.
"It seems like the [Bystander] brought the [Idol's] body back, so after they made contact..."
[Fan Fiction Writer] spoke of the situation he understood with a slightly envious tone.
"I'm afraid it's not just the shadow's death. The Observer has other powers. Thanks to it, my body shows no signs of recovery. Rather, it's getting weaker and weaker. Can you explain this double standard to us?"
[Gambling Master] looked at the paper with a smile, and reminded himself in his heart to remove the source on his neck as soon as possible.
Faced with this question, Zhihang did not directly answer it, but instead asked a somewhat strange question:
"What will happen if a person does not eat or drink for a long time?"
Although the purpose of the paper was unclear, the [Detective] responded as if to refresh his memory:
"Generally speaking, depending on individual constitutions, people can survive without food for 3-7 days, which is the optimal time for rescue. However, once this period is missed, only a small number of people can survive for around 10 days. Furthermore, due to hunger, the body will consume fat, and gentle care is often needed to restore normalcy."
Zhi Xing nodded, then looked at the [Fighter] and asked:
"I've heard that if you don't exercise for a day, your muscles will regress. So, with your current muscle strength, how long can you last without exercise?"
"After stopping the exercise, generally, there will be some deterioration within a week or two. However, I've checked my physical condition, and it's about the same as when I first enrolled two years ago. It's just a little unstable due to the anesthesia I was taking back then."
[Fighter] guessed that Zhixing wanted to describe the problem of two years of memory, so he couldn't help but mention it.
"So...what if it's a year?"
"Huh?! A year!" The [Fighter] was clearly shocked by the timescale. He lowered his head and recalled a former strongest person. "If I don't exercise effectively for a year, even if I train hard now, my body will revert to what it was like in junior high school."
"Xiaoying is right! If we haven't exercised for a year, our bodies should be very weak. But I've tried it in the swimming pool, and the limit of exercise is about the same."
When it comes to the issue of physical fitness, [Swimming], as a seeded player, also immediately described his own situation.
After the paper company learned what they wanted to know, they took the opportunity to discuss the matter:
"In the case of the Gambler, after the shadow left his body, he was unable to eat normally due to low desire. Without other sources of nutrition, his body would become weak."
"As for the [Idol], it was because I used the witch's power to heal the injuries caused by the [Baseball Player]."
"The witch is the one you and the [Fan Fiction Writer] read about, right? Not the witch in history?" The [Literary Girl] asked her own question on behalf of the [Murderer], as if she had discovered something when she teleported the [Programmer] to the hall.
"Yes, the same witch from Madoka Magica. Under the influence of this witch's magic, the body can remain alive normally, and no one will notice even if more than a year has passed."
"Normally, a ten-day period without food or water would be enough for an idol blessed with magical powers. However, it seems the idol at that time disappeared along with the witch's magical powers."
"Not only the shadow, but even the soul seems to have disappeared. That's why when we make contact now, the effect is different from yours."
"However, it seems that in this era, there are already nutrient solutions that can replace food and drink."
"Are you trying to say that we have actually been controlled by the mastermind for a year?" The [Bosozoku] seemed to finally understand what Zhixing meant and asked in surprise.
"Well, building the execution ground, renovating the academy, restoring the sealed classroom on the fifth floor to its original state, and...hiding the dormitory room that once belonged to us. These are not things that can be accomplished in a short period of time after a sudden attack."
"Not to mention the various traps and secret passages for Monokuma to move around."
"Um... what does it matter if you know this?" The [Fortune Teller] felt that Zhixing chose to change the subject because he was unable to wake up the [Idol].
But Lucky understood what Zhi Xing meant and explained:
"In other words, because the crime took so long, either of them could have carried out the execution of Principal Jin Kirikiri. Instead of taking us down in the past few days, one person would be responsible for brainwashing us while the other carried out the execution?"
"I see. This way, we don't have to rely on an alibi to identify the murderer." The [Disciplinary Officer] failed to display the impossible talent he should have, and instead concluded without any constructive advice.
"You said before that Despair's real talent is Analyst, right? So, to what extent can she achieve that?" The Nobleman discovered that the muscle strength of the fighters could be controlled by at least one year of extra training until it degenerated back to when they first entered school. It was obviously artificially controlled.
"Probably, to the extent of seeing and knowing. By the way, the apparent identity of [hot girl] was also specially cultivated through the talent of [analyst]."
"Because she has enough knowledge through analysis, she can cultivate herself into the desired figure and conform to the guiding trends. At the same time, she doesn't have to worry about being damaged by illness like her sister."
Zhixing looked at the silent [Despair], wondering why the people inside came out, and they looked like they were judging, which was completely different from the performance in the script.
"What an incredible talent! Just like AI, if AlterEgo is fully developed, it will probably only be able to do this much."
The [Programmer] was a little amazed. Although Zhixing could not read the mind of the display screen, Zhixing also understood that as a small omniscient [Analyst], he might not be able to compare with AI robots in terms of memory storage, but in data reading and analysis, he was much better than any AI that could be born.
Therefore, regarding the issue of the second-generation protagonists, Zhixing does not think that the AI version of [Despair] can make up for the lack of omniscience in Kamijou Izuru, and is far inferior to the current generation of protagonists who can grant one, two, or three wishes.
"Since Despair's talent is capable of such a degree, then simply using it for repetitive tasks like deleting memories might be more important than observing situations I've never seen before."
"Why did Kirikiri Jin have to die? Is he also an important existence to [Despair]? Or will his existence affect the entire plan? The other hostages were clearly gathered together long ago, so why did they choose to execute him before closing the school instead of leaving them there?"
[The Nobleman] came to his own conclusion. Since it was impossible to judge based on the time and method, he could only judge based on the motivation.
Zhixing also nodded in agreement. In terms of motivation alone, the [soldiers] acted out of desperation towards the principal and classmates, and would not subjectively kill those who could not resist.
"But wasn't Jin Kirikiri killed when we woke up? In other words, the motive wasn't to warm up for this campus fratricide, right?"
After realizing that [Despair] had enough time to take action, [Lucky] determined through the information provided by [Soldier] that the cause of his death had nothing to do with this game.
"Since we still have a CD for a meeting with the principal, that means they only took action after the plan was confirmed. Since it was an execution, and the location was within this academy, it wouldn't have happened right after they knocked us down."
[Gambler] simply followed [Lucky]'s words and continued by the process of elimination, making Zhixing unsure whether the other party still had any memory of the past year.
"If the execution was carried out midway, under the supervision of Despair, who possesses the talent of Analyst, they obviously wouldn't abandon the principal simply because they ran out of nutrients to sustain us. So the problem could only be with the erasure of the principal's memory, or... a problem outside the academy."
[Detective] Although he also listed two possibilities and suspected that if the principal, who was his father, needed to have his memory erased, it would probably be a simple project like his own to erase everything. Otherwise, the blood of the detective family would give the class judges an overwhelming advantage. Therefore, he looked directly at the paper line, wanting to understand the situation outside.
After receiving the instructions, the paper line pondered for a moment, then looked in the direction of the [Soldier] and said:
"I'm not sure of the exact date of the Future Agency's creation. As the main force against the Despair Group, the records include multiple dates to obscure any potential information leaks that might expose their abilities."
"However, I personally don't think the people of the Future Agency would be threatened by the lives of just fifteen of you when so many people have sacrificed their lives outside."
"But... undermining others' confidence is also a possibility. After all, even Hope's Peak Academy, with its well-fortified defenses, could be invaded by Despair. So, it's not impossible to force those holding their ground to flee, right?"
