"Good morning, you guys!"

"It's morning, it's 7 o'clock! Time to get up~!"

"Well then, let's give it our all today~!"

[Lucky] woke up from the girl's bed with a still confused mind after hearing such a loud alarm clock. He looked at the closed door of the toilet and did not dare to use it. He could only choose to stand up hurriedly, leave the [idol]'s room, and go to the cafeteria where he and everyone had agreed to gather every morning.

Because everyone has a different personality, even though they have the same alarm clock, everyone arrives at the cafeteria at a different time.

[Lucky] It can be clearly felt that the people who are already in the cafeteria are still discussing the truth announced by Kyubey yesterday.

Of course, there is no way around it. After all, everyone has already gone through the entire first floor in the past few days, and there is nothing left to discuss.

[Lucky] naturally wanted to participate in the discussion of this industry, but perhaps because he belonged to the living camp, although everyone still maintained basic replies, they did not communicate with him too much.

I don’t know how Maizono-san is doing. She was so scared yesterday. I don’t know if my misfortune can help her avoid disaster.

[Lucky] looked at the cafeteria entrance with a hint of anticipation.

However, even after the guaranteed Ten Gods appeared, he still hadn't waited for the appearance of the [idol] to form a small group with him.

The students here have also realized this one after another.

"Could it be that Maizono-san is already dead?"

I don't know who said this, but the discussion in the cafeteria suddenly quieted down.

"I...I'll go check it out!"

[Lucky] As he spoke, his body was already driven by the uneasiness rising in his heart, and he ran all the way from the cafeteria to the dormitory area.

The people who stayed in the cafeteria were naturally not idle either. After looking at each other, they followed Lucky.

"Huh? Isn't that Naegi-kun's room?"

The talkative [Swimming] was the first to notice something unusual. He was clearly going to look for his [idol], so why did he come to his room?

"It looks like the other party knows something. I'm afraid something really happened last night. Xiaokui, please don't look at it for a while."

The fighter Ogami Sakura, who formed a small group with Swimming, had already smelled a hint of blood coming from the room before she even entered it.

“Ah…Ahhhhhhh!”

Then, Naegi's voice came from his room.

Everyone followed the footsteps of [Lucky] Makoto Naegi and came to the destroyed room, where they saw Makoto Naegi fainting.

Ogami Sakura stood up and caught Makoto Naegi, then looked towards the broken door with the classmates behind her.

Then he saw Sayaka Maizono, who had not arrived yet, lying in a pool of red blood.

Immediately afterwards, the broadcast in the room came out, confirming the thoughts of everyone present.

"Ding-dong-dong-dong, a body has been found. A class judgment will be held after a certain amount of free time."

Chapter 297 Before Searching for Evidence

"Hula! What are you doing? You're actually taking the principal's job!"

Monokuma emerged from Maizono's room and shouted at the paper line that covered the entire person on the wall.

Zhi Xing slowly opened his closed eyes, turned his back to Monokuma and said:

"Then why don't you come out and deny this?"

"The order is different! I haven't even explained the rules of class refereeing yet!"

Black and White Bear angrily accused Zhi Xing of being anxious, causing Zhi Xing to withdraw his gaze from the figure on the other side of the wall and look at Black and White Bear and ask:

"So, you agree with the announcement of the discovery of the body?"

"That's why I'm asking. By forging this death notice, are you confirming that Kuwata-san is the murderer and that the graduation ceremony is about to take place?"

"In this world, one or two people really don't make a difference. Is he that important?"

Zhi Xing narrowed his eyes, trying hard to suppress any micro-expressions that might reveal his thoughts, but Monokuma saw them all.

"Pfft, pfft, well, being unanimously voted out by classmates for a trumped-up crime is kind of a fratricide~ I'll go get ready."

After saying this, Monokuma turned around and left, leaving Zhixing a little confused about what Monokuma was here for.

"Sure enough, asking me to come here wasn't just to satisfy my conditions. You're not even angry after all this."

"But we'll think about that later. The problem right now is... we need to speed up the class judging."

Zhixing said this to himself, then looked at the camera pointed at him, closed his eyes, and slowly disappeared from the room.

When he opened his eyes again, Zhixing had returned to his cognitive world.

Standing up and looking at the unconscious half-spider girl not far away, Zhixing sighed helplessly.

The [Super High School Level Idol] who was supposed to be cured was transformed into a half-man, half-doll image by the joint efforts of the paper walker and the witch.

"With the power I can harness, it seems I can't even save an ordinary person's life?"

Zhi Xing turned his head and looked at the witch who had given up resistance and left the ground where the spider girl was because she noticed that he was extending the needle and thread towards her.

Since Zhixing didn't know whether the others would become a part of the witch's barrier after being completely transformed into demons, Zhixing had been keeping an eye on the witch's movements last night.

Avoid [idols] becoming like those dolls in the doll tower, which will not be screened out even if the paper is returned.

Therefore, whenever the degree of demonization exceeds half of the body, Zhixing will take the other party out of the witch's barrier in front of the witch.

After repeated treatments, the [idol]'s injury has improved significantly.

I have to say that the magic enchantment is very versatile. Even if the body is injured internally, when it is wrapped in magic, it seems like a normal person.

But the witch is not a magical girl after all, so the healing effect of magic itself is not very strong.

So under this pulling treatment, the paper industry soon received good news and bad news.

The good news is that although the [idol]'s magic power will begin to fade once it leaves the range of the witch's barrier, and the original injuries will relapse, but within the witch's barrier, the enchanted magic power is enough to allow the [idol] to use his body normally.

The bad news is that the [idol] who had fainted due to pain seemed to have received repair from the witch, so there was no sign of his consciousness regaining consciousness at all. In a round of treatment that Paper Line did not count, he was not brought out by Paper Line.

Fortunately, the witch seemed to understand what Zhixing repeatedly emphasized and did not completely turn the [idol] into a doll, but only completed the transformation of the lower body.

When Zhixing saw the [idol] in such a vegetative state, he inexplicably felt as if he was brought into Xingzi's perspective.

After all, this is how Sayaka Miki's soul and body were separated.

Sayaka Maizono is in a similar situation now, and her power has not mutated after crossing the world.

A witch is actually a girl's soul, or something other than her body.

Then the witch's magic power will naturally have a much greater impact on the soul than on the body.

Zhixing has always known that the name of the little bear's witch is the witch of repair, and even had the hypothesis that restoration is the power brought by the witch. It is because restoration can also work on demonization that this speculation is denied.

But this also makes Zhixing have high expectations for Xiaoxiong's abilities, because Zhixing feels that Xiaoxiong is most likely a magical girl who has made a wish such as healing.

However, because they were worried that the witch's treatment would directly lead to death, even when they encountered someone seriously injured like Suzui Shiho, Zhixing did not dare to try the witch's treatment.

Until now, this [idol], who is a supporting role in the original plot but has a very important position, is about to face a life-and-death crisis as if destined, Zhixing was able to put aside his hesitation and choose to give it a try.

This is not to say that other students have no chance to save each other, but what Jixing wants is not to change his fate by relying on Kamukura Izuru's opportunity, but to ensure that he has the means to change his fate even if he goes to another world.

It is definitely not the case that the paper industry feels that handing it over to others to solve the problem is likely to repeat the same mistakes.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xiong's first attempt at treatment made Zhi Xing realize that the so-called witch's prefix title is nothing more than a simple summary of the witch's movement trajectory and the scenery of the barrier.

After all, witches are not ghost stories, and the names are just used to distinguish them.

Real magical girls all use violence to deal with witches, and don't need to care about or distinguish names, so how can the witches come up with any names?

[The name of the witch] flashed through Zhixing's mind for a moment, but Zhixing didn't have time to think about it at that time. Instead, he was busy sending the unhealed [idol] back to the witch's room.

Although the little bear who only repairs dolls cannot perfectly take on the task of healing the [idol].

But for the paper industry, there is no choice.

Compared to the witch's barrier that was still able to work, the power of another cognitive world was completely useless.

Although Zhixing has successfully projected the two-dimensional world into reality, the reason why Zhixing can do this is because of the special environment it is in.

Hope's Peak Academy, after being transformed by Monokuma, has many surveillance cameras installed in a closed indoor environment.

These cameras are used by Monokuma to broadcast the long-planned cannibalism live, and use these cases to create a new generation of despair films.

This 24-hour live broadcast is broadcast to countless people around the world.

Although the world suffered a devastating blow due to the destruction of the [Despair Group].

But no matter how much it is reduced, it is still a war caused by one person, it is unlikely to eliminate 80%.

And this is a live broadcast promoted by the biggest villain, so even if the number of people cannot be calculated as 70 billion, it should be at least around 50 billion.

Therefore, although the exact number of viewers is unknown, Zhixing does rely on the cognition of hundreds of millions of viewers, which is why it is able to bring cognitive existence into the real space.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of everyone, this academy was already dying the moment Monokuma appeared, so this kind of scene would be in line with the public's perception.

So even though they are just two-dimensional images, Kuwata-san and Maizono-san, who were originally just imaginary existences on paper, have become embodied in Hope's Peak Academy in the public's cognition.

Regarding this point, after the [Idol]'s condition stabilized, Zhixing tried to copy the second-generation health committee member and even [Kamizuki Izuru] to see if he could provide some theoretical treatment methods.

However, relying solely on the idea of ​​paper lines, even in the cognitive world, no reaction occurred, and it was deduced.

Zhixing wasn't sure if it was because he wasn't as desperate now, or because the impression space was no longer within the sight of hundreds of millions of eyes.

But after knowing that he could not create other people, Jixing took advantage of the fact that his orders on the two cognitive existences were still effective and chose to let Maizono go back to play the corpse. Jixing also put the real [idol] into the posture of a corpse, and took advantage of the blood spitting out of Kuwata's mouth to sneak into the bathroom to take a photo.

Then he openly placed the mobile phone No. 3 that took the photo in front of a surveillance camera.

This kind of inducement was quite effective, at least when the [Idol] was taken down from the witch's maintenance table, Zhixing finally had time to check the time.

I found that it was no different from a real person. Even the black and red liquid in the photo was restored to the blood-red body of Maizono-san.

After Zhixing got back mobile phone No. 3 and decided not to bring it back to the witch's room for the time being, he was convinced with mixed feelings that the power that made cognitive existence appear was not his own.

It’s just that I have content that can guide public awareness.

And just now, Zhixing had successfully, without falling into despair, used the memory space again to convey the despair felt by these super high school-level students when they saw the corpse, and after narrating the content of the broadcast he knew like a voice-over, he was able to project the announcement of the discovery of the black and white bear's corpse in his own perception into reality.

The reason why Zhixing did this was because after confirming that the idol's body had recovered but had lost its soul, he thought of a way to effectively find the lost three souls and seven spirits.

That means dying in the knowledge of everyone.

This is the time when collective power is most expressive in the impression space.

When the Phantom Thieves were still unknown, few people even knew about this thing.

However, as the Phantom Thieves' ability to change their hearts was proven one by one, thereby increasing people's recognition, the Phantom Thieves suddenly developed a very strange weakness.

That is, if the recognition given by the public suddenly drops, it may even turn around and wipe out all the members of the Phantom Thieves.

Therefore, Zhixing chose to return to reality and then emphasized the fact that Sayaka Maizono was dead.

Kazuyoshi wanted to use the power of everyone to make the idol's consciousness disappear along with the body, so as to wake up Sayaka Maizono who was already in a coma.

Zhi Xing was also prepared to wait by the side, waiting for the moment when the body disappeared, and was ready to follow this phenomenon to the bottom of the impression space to see the final destination of the shadow in this world without the velvet room.

Therefore, after confirming that a class judgment might be held, Zhixing returned to the side of the [idol], wanting to be ready to leave at any time.

As for why he came to the maintenance table with the witch, it was naturally because Zhixing wanted to make final preparations.

Once fully prepared, Zhixing will leave the witch's barrier that he cannot enter in the cognitive world and witness the final outcome of the [Idol].

In the gymnasium, after the announcement of the corpse sounded, Monokuma gathered everyone in the gymnasium, and after quickly waking up the frightened Makoto Naegi, he began to read out the additional graduation settings of the class referee to everyone.

"The school trial was held hours after the murder!"

"In the class trial, the murderer will face off against the other innocent students!!"

"I want you to discuss [Who is the murderer hiding among your companions?]"

"The result will be determined by the final vote of the class judges."

"At this point, if the answer you derived is correct... only the disruptive offender will receive [corporal punishment]. The rest of the students should continue to live together."

"But...if an innocent person is mistakenly identified as the murderer...only the acquitted murderer will survive, and all the other innocent people will suffer [corporal punishment]."

"At that time, of course, our shared life will be forced to end!"

"These are the rules for the school referee!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other hesitantly, but the one who finally broke the silence and asked the question on behalf of everyone was [Super High School Level Gal] Enoshima Junko, who usually did not participate in the discussion.

The [Gal Girl] raised her hand, looked at Monokuma and asked without showing any weakness:
