Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

But the situation that the paper industry worried about did not happen.

"Hurry up, leave this to us."

"Protecting students' safety is the duty of discipline officers, so take care, brother."

Zhixing saw that the [Fighter] and the [Disciplinary Officer] with a personality mask had left the team, and was thinking of letting people nearby make contact.

But once the battle breaks out, non-combatants won’t be able to react to it.

Although the [Fighter] and [Disciplinary Officer] blocked the incoming bullets with the power of props and masks, the [Club Manager] and [Gymnast] also rushed up, and a [Kendo Master] jumped out from behind them.

When Zhixing saw that the two main fighters on his side were intercepted by the two main fighters of the second generation, and the [Kendo Master] was rushing towards him, he was not surprised but happy, because the [Witch's Barrier] could be activated by the opponent's attack and solve this problem.

However, the entrance to the elevator was directly behind [Lucky], so there was still a human wall between the two, so the first sword was slashed towards [Lucky] who was closest.

"Qiang~"

The powerful sword was blocked by a dagger that suddenly stretched out.

The owner of the dagger, the [Super High School Level Soldier], was looking at the [Kendo Master] or the elevator with hatred on his face.

"die!!"

Following the [Soldier's] declaration, the two women soon began fighting again.

Seeing the continuous reduction in the number of people, Zhixing could no longer care about them. He immediately filled the vacant positions and entered the witch's barrier.

"Has the second generation been controlled again?"

As the scene changed, the remaining eleven people followed Zhi Xing into the [Witch's Barrier].

The only ones left behind were the [Fighters], [Disciplinary Officers], [Soldiers], [Girls], and the [Programmers] whose bodies were still active at Hope's Peak Academy.

"What's wrong with those people? Didn't we win?"

After seeing that the fighter had disappeared from his surroundings, [Swimming] immediately ran to Zhixing to ask him something.

Zhixing also turned around and prepared to look at the battle situation projected behind him to see if he could go back and rescue the people.

"Hey! They're coming over here. What should we do? Should we retreat?"

The experienced [Bosozoku] began to observe the surrounding situation after entering, and pointed to the army of familiars approaching this side.

"Even though both shadows were able to enter the barrier because of the Witch's Kiss, they can't escape even then!?"

Zhi Xing looked at the number of familiars that far exceeded the normal number of movements due to shift changes, and soon realized that this was because there was a fight outside the witch's barrier, causing these familiars that could sense things outside the barrier to begin moving towards that side and surrounding it.

The sudden turn of events made Zhixing feel at a loss. If it weren't for the explosion that gave Zhixing some time to think ahead when the Black and White Bear was in action, he would probably have been too scared to escape when the shadow of the second-generation protagonists descended. He might even be thinking about visiting the execution of [Despair] and triggering the impossible person condition.

Thinking of this, Zhi Xing immediately looked at [Lucky] and said very straightforwardly:

"The situation is urgent now. Although [Despair] is gone, the secret treasure outside, the Black and White Bear, will not disappear. It is difficult to hide in the current situation. Hurry and use your [Luck] to think of a solution!"

When the paper industry was in a panic, the [bosozoku] were still reporting that the army of familiars was about to arrive within a limited time.

Lucky closed his eyes, then quickly opened them and asked:

"Can the secret treasure be stolen?"

"Um??!"

Chapter 385: Unexpectedly Suitable [Despair]

"Is this your solution?"

Hearing the answer from [Lucky], Zhixing felt an indescribable disappointment.

The result of the Impossible Man is just like this, no, it should be caused by incomplete information. It is somewhat impossible to directly skip so much information and ask about the secret treasure.

Zhi Xing took a look at the familiars outside, and while telling everyone to run away, he said to Lucky:

"It's true that secret treasures can be stolen, but this situation is an exception."

"Everyone has their own secret treasure, and if you steal it, the other person will lose the desire to pursue it."

"But the secret treasure outside, the Black and White Bear, is made up of the shared desires of people all over the world, and it can already act independently. So if you want to steal it, the process is the same as directly defeating it."

Although Zhixing didn't say anything else and just explained it normally, [Lucky] could feel the disappointed look from Zhixing. However, even while running, [Lucky] had no intention of stopping to think.

"The appearance of that black and white bear wasn't in the script, right?"

"Well, it's not inside. This change happened because of my arrival."

"So, originally this secret treasure wouldn't have been able to move on its own. It was only because of your actions that it was able to move, right?"

Zhi Xing paused for a moment before admitting:

"I did it. I didn't expect it to actually work, considering I was only away for a short while. Perhaps it was just the result of fate adjusting its course."

"Then, returning it to its original state is also fate."

"You mean, those who didn't survive originally will return to their original state because fate is unchangeable?"

Zhihang became interested and wanted to listen carefully to Lucky's opinion.

"Hey, there's no way to escape at this rate. What should we do?"

The one who spoke was still the shadow of the "bosozoku", because everyone was running at the moment, and he was the only one who had his own motorcycle to ride, so even if he was carrying the unconscious "idol", he still had the energy to give directions while observing the situation of the familiar.

When everyone heard this, they looked back and realized that the distance between them and the familiar had not widened, but was even shrinking.

It’s not that the familiar moves very fast. If you look at it alone, the running speed of the familiar is about the same as that of an ordinary person.

Not to mention the bikers who ride motorcycles, even swimming is much faster than a familiar.

But under the request of the paper company, everyone ran together at the lowest speed, so they couldn't get rid of the pursuit of the familiar.

"There's no time. Just tell me what to do. I can tell you anything."

Lucky was already panting, but he still asked directly:

"Secret Treasure Black and White Bear, what is the reason for his actions?"

"Because I let [Despair] try to merge."

"Why merge?"

"She asked me for something that could help her win outside the rules, and she didn't want to change the existing rules."

"So, what about Despair? If Despair's secret treasure is used, can it affect the secret treasure Monokuma?"

"No, as I said before, a secret treasure is an aggregation of individual desires, and this secret treasure, the black and white bear, is the aggregation of the common desires of all those who cannot give birth to a secret treasure."

"Even if it was Despair that drove her to act, that Despair has probably been digested by now. After all, she's just an admirer of Despair, not a true Despair user."

The paper lines can see that [Luck] is using logic to eliminate the available options one by one, but when these paper lines are considering whether to participate in the class referee, they have already considered the possible situations that may arise if the battle continues. After all, [Despair] is also one of the members who cannot survive, so it is possible that once [Despair] dies, the crisis will be resolved.

But the fact is, even though the school has won the refereeing, [Despair] chose to execute, but the secret treasure Black and White Bear outside had no intention of stopping the action.

This was even worse than what Zhi Xing had expected, as [Despair] broke the agreement and planned to use the school referee to delay time so that he would have time to control the secret treasure Black and White Bear.

After all, Zhixing was still thinking of using other people's cognition to make [despair] no longer exist, and bring the other party's shadow into the underworld to resolve the crisis. However, in the current situation, Zhixing has not come up with a possible solution based on the current known situation.

Lucky didn't know this, so he continued the conversation and asked:

"Besides Despair, is there anyone else who can fuse with Monokuma?"

Zhi Xing opened his mouth, swallowed the impossible reply, and instead described it more accurately:

"The secret treasure can only be used by the shadow of the corresponding individual. Once used, it can transform into a monster while retaining its own consciousness. Therefore, in theory, no one else can use this method to integrate the secret treasure into their body."

"But that one outside is a secret treasure shared by everyone, right? Can I have it too?"

"You!! You should know that even the most suitable [Despair] failed, how could you possibly do this!"

"I know, but Monokuma didn't act on his own when the other people's consciousness was present, right?"

"[Despair] was gone before!"

"That's not true!! Monokuma only took action after the new Monokuma appeared. The explosion is proof of that!"

Zhi Xing then realized that the Black and White Bear was a cognitive existence created from [Despair] who was present at the time, but the secret treasure Black and White Bear was no longer [Despair] itself, so why was it necessary to conduct a school-level judgment?

Was it so that I could create a cognitive existence born of [despair]? If so, perhaps she wasn't completely unconscious.

Zhi Xing realized that the time mentioned by Lucky was correct, and could not help but continue to deny it:

"...But you still can't do this."

"What's the reason?"

"Every [Super High School Level] talent seems to have their own secret treasure, and the secret treasure Monokuma is related to people who don't have secret treasures."

"Then take my secret treasure away!"

""

Zhixing had only heard of secret treasures being stolen, but had never seen a secret treasure that could be given away.

In fact, even Futaba, who wanted to hand over the secret treasure to the Phantom Thieves, still played the game according to the normal process without missing a single part of the game.

"Probably not."

"How will you know if you don't try!"

"It would take a long time to try, and the only ones who can fight right now are..."

Zhixing thought about the protagonists who were still around him.

Only the two [Bosozoku] and the [Killer] might be able to fight. The others, even the [Baseball Player] and the [Swim], are only at the level of gym students and cannot fight against the shadow monster.

But it is not impossible. After all, among the people present, there are [Young Master] and [Lucky] who have not yet made a transaction. Maybe they can awaken their personality masks.

Although he doesn't have white hair like Hinata Hajime and the [Disciplinary Officer], he is still an impossible person. Relying on the contract can make up for the fact that he has not encountered pressure and resisted. It is more likely that he will awaken the mask.

Maybe after [Luck] awakens the personality mask, he can directly hand over the personality mask. After all, the personality mask can be equivalent to his own palace treasure.

But can it really be integrated with the secret treasure black and white bear in this way?

Zhi Xing looked at the army of familiars and had no time to think, so he prepared to make a free deal with [Luck].

"If it's me who does it, is that okay?"

When Zhixing heard the female voice, he quickly looked at the [Detective] and said:

"For things like this, you still have to think things through before giving up... Hmm? Not you?"

Zhi Xing looked at the [Detective] shaking his head in denial and couldn't help but frown and looked around, locking onto the person who made the sound to interfere with the two people's decision.

An idol riding on a bike of a bosozoku group.

"(I suggested it, so I should be the one to do it...) Naegi-kun, that's what you think, but my shadow left me a message at the end."

The idol, despite being weak, still displayed his supernatural powers with a smile as he stated:

"Compared to you who still have your own palace, not only has my palace disappeared, but also, because I encountered that man while searching for my companions in the underworld, my secret treasure seems to have been replaced by that teddy bear-like thing."

"According to the [fan fiction writer], that teddy bear itself is [despair], right?"

"...It's not entirely despair, it's just restricted, so the only magic that emerges is the magic of [Despair]."

"That's fine, let's make it a deal. I haven't really made a deal with you yet. What I did back then was just a little trick on my part. So, can this be considered a contract between you and me? I'll fuse with Monokuma on behalf of Naegi-san."

Zhi Xing paused in silence, then turned and headed back towards the army of familiars. He neither agreed to the deal nor rejected it, leaving only one question unanswered:

"Although I don't know how the secret treasure Black and White Bear will be integrated, close contact should be a necessary condition. However, it seems that Black and White Bear has other subordinates who will stop us now. Moreover, the elevator has been occupied and there is no way to return to the ground. So... you can do whatever you want."

After Zhixing finished speaking, he also met the familiars who followed him and did not stop because of the projection wall.

But just like there was no reason for Zhixing to do it in the first place, there were too many familiars coming this time. Although Zhixing was not attacked by the familiars, he also did not attract the attention of the familiars.

Although Zhixing used the hugging method to resist a familiar and made the opponent who didn't care about him fall, he intercepted some familiars.

But the rooms here do not form a passage, so there are still many familiars moving towards the protagonist group.

As a last resort, Zhi Xing could only use the little time he had to intercept to speak:

"I want to go back! Back to reality!"

The witch's barrier around them soon disappeared again, and Zhixing and the others returned to the class judgment scene which was still covered by the cognitive world.

The people who stopped running because of the change in environment also avoided the risk of hitting the wall and looked at the scene around them.

"Cram room?"

[Detective] looked at the slogans around him and at the hydraulic press in the middle.

When Zhixing returned to reality and saw where he was, he felt a chill in his heart.
