Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

We ran here because the familiar was chasing us, so why are we here by such a coincidence? Is it luck or fate?

Zhixing didn't understand, but still walked towards the hydraulic press and soon saw the pool of liquid left after it was started.

The paper company was silent, and for a moment they could not find the mechanism to open the hydraulic press.

Only when the others had gathered around, resting and preparing to use the paper line to move at any time, did the paper line speak:

"This is the final execution site, so I know that behind this hydraulic press is a garbage dump. There, you can use the master key to open two doors and return to Hope's Peak Academy from the incineration dump on the first floor."

Zhixing turned his head and looked at [Idol], waiting for the other party's choice, and waiting to see if [Luck] could come up with a surprise move.

"There are only two passages that can lead down from above, so Monokuma didn't come down himself, but asked others to do so instead."

"What we need to do now is to get up there as quickly as possible, so... since it's possible here, let's do it from here."

Zhi Xing glanced at [Lucky] and didn't get any new solutions. He hesitated for a moment and then shouted:

"[Programmer]! Can you hear us? What's the situation outside right now?"

However, Zhixing's question received no response, which made Zhixing close his eyes, sigh, and agree:

"Since there is no other way, then go ahead."

As the sound of the engine passed by, Zhixing could only sigh in his heart:

Even the so-called impossible person still has a limit. Although it is beyond my expectations, it is not enough. Is it because it has not become completely impossible or is there another reason?

Zhi Xing opened his eyes, turned to look at Lucky, and said:

"I asked you to go into that prop room earlier. What did you draw? Where's the [baseball player]?"

Zhixing looked at the remaining [Lucky], [Doujin Writer], [Detective], [Swimmer], [Gambler], [Bike Raid], [Fortune Teller], [Literary Girl], and [Nobleman], but did not find any trace of [Baseball Player].

"It seems like she went there with the [Idol] as atonement. After all, she can't move normally right now, so she needs someone to carry her. And even if she gets to the first floor, there will probably be people on the other side. Once the battle starts, we won't be able to move forward."

Although the [Bosozoku] was very confident in his shadow fighting ability, the situation on the ground was unknown after all, so to be on the safe side he asked the [Idol] to find another helper, while he stayed behind to protect the others here for the sake of his brothers.

Zhixing clenched his fists again to prevent himself from feeling powerless and being unable to stand up straight.

"[Gambler], and...[Fan Fiction Writer], come here and hold my hand. No matter what happens, don't let go!"

P.S. Is there any other solution? If not, the next chapter will end the Bullet Journey.

Chapter 386 Future Development Direction

"What...what happened?"

[Fan Fiction Writer] looked at Zhixing with some fear. Although he didn't know what happened suddenly, Zhixing did have the witch's barrier and familiar on his body. At this moment, as a person who was not on the survivor list, he was very worried that he would be sacrificed to the witch in exchange for the lives of others.

"It doesn't matter if you don't pay special attention to me. As long as you can remove the thing on my neck, I will be safer than anyone else here."

[Gambler] also did not approach the paper bank. If it weren't for the Witch's Kiss still hanging on her body, she would have returned to her own hall long ago.

"Where's your body?"

Only then did Zhixing realize that the [Gambler] was standing alone, and there was no one around to carry his unconscious body.

"Who knows? Maybe I was in such a hurry that I didn't realize I was left behind at the school refereeing scene."

[Gambler] smiled and closed his eyes, refusing the decision to let others enter the hall.

"Why didn't you say you could return to your own temple?"

Zhi Xing stepped forward and asked as he walked towards the Gambler.

"Ah, it's true that I have memories of that period, but for me, these are just means to maintain the relationship. It's not worth the risk."

"So, please allow me to reject your proposal."

[Gambling Master] stood there without dodging, allowing Zhi Xing to stand in front of him, and still refused.

"Give me a reason."

Zhixing stood in front of the [Gambler] and spoke as if he was looking at a puppet that was unaware of its own death.

"If you, Mr. Observer, are looking for a reason, then I am doing this to better protect your desire to change your fate."

"This is the cognitive world, and those who suddenly appeared are all masters of the palace, not ordinary shadows. So even if I let everyone go to my palace, they will also be able to be teleported here."

"If they catch up to us, will you choose to fight them right here and now, or abandon me and try to buy time? Well, the battlefield will be in my palace, and there's no way I can escape."

[Gambling Master] seemed to be reinforcing his own credibility. He did not look away while speaking, allowing Zhihang to confirm that these were all facts.

"On the contrary, if I only let my body in, and there are targets outside, these controlled hall masters will not try to be clever and choose to steal the house. Instead, they will chase after me and complete Monokuma's orders."

"Since it's impossible for everyone to go in together, there will definitely be others outside as bait. So, will you choose to defy fate and bring in the [fanfiction writer] who is also destined to die, or leave behind the [bosozoku] and the [fanfiction writer] who are eager to die?"

"No matter which choice we make, it's too unfair. The problem isn't the lack of people, but the inequality. It's hard to say what will happen. And if the dead are all here, then it means that some accident must have happened here to prevent fate from changing, right?"

"So I won't let anyone in. Only when there are both the living and the dead can I ensure that there won't be any sudden accidents that will prevent me from reacting."

"Are you satisfied with this reason, Mr. Spectator?"

Zhi Xing looked at the [Gambler] below, stretched out his hand and stopped above the Witch's Kiss, but did not press it.

However, Witch's Kiss will not move randomly, even if there are other people present.

However, unlike the [Programmer] situation, Paper Bank still cannot recycle it when he is unable to communicate with the Cognitive Bear.

"You're right, your mind really works much faster than mine. I didn't even notice any of this."

Zhi Xing withdrew his hand, looked at the camera used to broadcast the execution live, and said regretfully:

"But it's not something I can control, so I can't get it back."

"This is truly a pity. Since staying here won't eliminate my hidden dangers, I can only take my leave now."

Zhixing turned around, looked at the [Fan Fiction Writer], and prepared to do some ideological work on him.

"The master key you're talking about is the one in the principal's office, right?"

The [Detective] confirmed after seeing that the discussion here had ended.

"Well, you didn't give it?"

"Already given."

"Then what are you doing?"

Zhi Xing looked at the [Detective] in confusion, but behind him came the answer from the [Gambler]:

"It seems you've already noticed that in the cognitive world, keys are usually perceived as mechanisms, rather than traditional key locks."

"And the garbage dump down there, no matter how you look at it, is locked from the outside, right? So is there really a hole there that can be opened with a master key?"

Zhi Xing paused.

I originally thought that only the [Gambler] was influenced by fate and would make actions that seemed reasonable but were very likely to get him killed, but I didn't expect that I would also make mistakes.

"According to the script, there is indeed a keyhole underneath."

"You're talking about reality, right? This is reality. Has anyone seen the gate down there? Are there any cameras set up by Monokuma down there?"

Zhixing raised his head, confusion about the future appearing in his eyes.

Originally, after [Idol] went down, Zhixing had given up hope on the three of them surviving, but at least they still had a chance of success, after all, there were still five living people here.

Judging from the current situation, the place they fell into was not a garbage dump, but clearly the underground level of the unknown impression space.

Not only can I not go up, I can't even come back.

After realizing that the elevator was the only way out, Zhi Xing once again looked at the people present and suddenly realized that at this point, there was still a possibility of a frontal breakout. After excluding the murderer, the only option was:

The shadow of the [Gambler] who also has the Witch's Kiss.

A fan fiction writer who is suspected to be related to the shadow of his own palace and can command a certain cognitive existence.

And the "bosozoku" who have the best physical combat abilities.

Logically speaking, the only one who is truly capable of fighting is the shadow-like [Gambler], and the other two are just extras to make up the numbers.

But Zhixing had no doubt that if not all of his troops were sent out during the frontal breakout, there would inevitably be an unexpected shortage of combat power, resulting in the enemy being let through.

Zhixing looked at the [Literary Girl], but before he could say anything, he saw that the other party, who had been on guard, immediately sneezed and switched to [Murderer].

"No, no, I will not act alone until Lord Bai Ye is out of danger."

"Yeah."

Zhixing looked at the [Murderer]. Although he wanted to ask him for help, he thought that since he could participate in the scenes of Danganronpa 2.5, he would most likely survive safely.

But just seeing the [Murderer], Zhixing couldn't bring himself to say the words that would separate the two of them.

A contract? It's really a troublesome thing.

Perhaps seeing Zhixing's resigned expression, Lucky walked over, patted Zhixing's arms with both hands, and then said in encouragement:

"Don't give up so easily!"

"Even though the [idols] might not be able to stop Monokuma's actions, I definitely can!"

"At the end of the story, the protagonist always escapes danger and triumphs, doesn't he?"

"You said I would become the impossible person, so believe in me, just like you believe in fate, believe that I can do it."

Zhixing looked at Lucky and realized that he was still talking about the plan of merging with Monokuma.

He opened his mouth, but when he remembered that he had already agreed to the plan, that was why the [idols] jumped into the hole in the garbage dump, he couldn't help but stop himself from blurting out his objection.

"I'll go back and see if it's safe now."

Zhi Xing said as he broke free from Lucky's hands and returned to the witch's barrier.

Because the [Witch's Barrier] spreads with Zhixing as the center, the location where Zhixing enters the Witch's Barrier is random each time, and Zhixing did not see the familiar that had forced him away before.

After confirming that there was no danger, Zhixing looked back and saw that [Lucky] seemed to be talking to other classmates.

"Makoto Naegi is the absolute protagonist, so... can his impossibilities really be believed?"

"While fate may grant him immortality, his [luck] can also ensure that his immortality will result in someone else bearing the consequences of his death."

"What is the limit of the impossible?"

Zhi Xing looked at the projection on the wall. Although he didn't hear any sound from inside, everyone quickly took action.

It seems that [Luck] persuaded the [Murderer] to let another [Murderer] who suddenly appeared act with him.

At the same time, the [fan fiction writer] suddenly appeared as a cartoon-like magical girl, and chose to go together with the [bosozoku].

Zhixing returned to the cram school room with a frown and called out to them.

After a conversation, it was learned that the shadow of the [Murderer] chose to protect [Lucky], and the [Fan Writer] needed to make up for the problem that the [Murderer] lacked group attack methods, in order to deal with the black and white bear masks around the black and white bear.

As for the bosozoku, they are the bodyguards that the fan fiction writers are willing to follow.

The only dead person left at the scene was the unyielding [Gambling Master].

After understanding this, Zhixing let everyone enter the [Witch's Barrier].

But as Zhixing expected, he found traces of the familiar as soon as he entered the barrier.

Although the movements of the familiars seemed to indicate that the army of familiars had disbanded and each had returned to its original position, Zhixing did not believe this.

After walking a distance towards the execution passage, Zhixing led everyone and, through two displacements of the [Witch's Barrier], directly arrived at the elevator door of the grade referee.

Looking back, all the people who had stayed here had disappeared.

Zhi Xing could only watch silently as the "Lucky" 4-member team, with the help of the magical girl, rose into the air from the inoperable elevator.

After Zhixing and the others watched them go away, in order to prevent any accidents, they discussed for a while and decided to wait for the results in the [Witch's Barrier].

Although the existence of the [Gambler] is included, perhaps because the way to enter is based on the call of the paper line, no other familiars are attracted by the Witch's Kiss.

After resting for a while, the [Fortune Teller], who had been paying attention to the wall behind him, was the first to notice the disappearance of the projection.

Under Zhixing's leadership, everyone smoothly returned to the monitoring room in reality.

Except for [Gambler] and [Luck].

Zhi Xing looked at the only remaining [Nobleman], [Literary Girl], [Swimmer], [Detective], and [Fortune Teller] in front of him and was silent for a while, then looked at the screen in the monitoring room.

But no one appeared in the picture.

Although everyone survived, no one was happy about it. [Youyong] even ran to the monitoring platform to try to find the whereabouts of others, but found nothing.

Only the [Detective] turned on the wireless TV next to him and used the black screen displayed on the TV to tell the paper that this was no longer a live broadcast site.

After learning that the disappearance of the [Gambler] was probably because the conditions for the appearance of the Palace Shadow were no longer there, he touched the Witch's Kiss on his neck in confusion and realized the other party's whereabouts.
