Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Kirigiri closed his eyes with a hint of disappointment, and heard Naegi Makoto continue:

"I will always keep them in my heart. I will never get over them. The death of Maizono-san and the death of Kuwata-san, I will always keep them in my heart."

"Carrying everyone's thoughts, we continue to move forward!!"

There was determination in Naegi Makoto's eyes, as if something had changed in his entire being.

Chapter 307 Talents in the Cognitive World

“Is the key to talent self-confidence?”

Zhixing frowned and sat next to the huge black and white bear, unable to figure out the origin of this answer.

"Oh, it must be too noisy here. Looks like we need to go back to Hope's Peak Academy first."

Zhi Xing raised his head and looked at the black and white bear, which was much larger than the repair witch.

Although he didn't know which one was bigger, Monokuma or Witch Night, Zhi Xing had long stopped thinking about the power system of the personality mask that could defeat the impression space-level treasure.

Instead, he turned around and walked towards the place where he was leaving, recalling the information he heard after arriving here.

"[Omniscience] drives [omnipotence]?"

Zhi Xing looked at the first batch of forces controlled by [Despair] that suddenly landed in front of him. They were also two of the five most powerful people among the 16 people in that super high school level.

Although the paper industry did not expect such a situation to happen, it was not worried about its own situation.

Although Zhixing was carrying an "idol" on his back, which restricted his movements, it made no difference to Zhixing, who would not fight.

After the two figures landed, they first glanced at Komaeda who was sitting on the chair, then quickly rushed to Zhixing, wanting to take down the invader.

Zhixing simply [sightseeing] for a while, then avoided the attacks of the two people and brought the [idol] back into the witch's barrier.

Although in reality, sightseeing only allows you to interact with people for a very short time, or even just once.

However, in the cognitive world, which is just a different world that can be exited at any time, [Sightseeing] is a means for Zhixing to ensure that he will not be attacked by the existence of the cognitive world.

“Although it doesn’t look like an app, it feels more convenient.”

"Once the corresponding coordinates are confirmed once, it's like a historical record. I can predict the other two coordinates in advance. This way, I only need the quickest two words to quickly exit the cognitive world."

"It's just that in the Imaginary Space, you can't just exit and return to real time. It's not as convenient as a game."

"But even so, if you choose to quit, you can indeed temporarily escape the attraction of this other world."

"Unlike running away from a battle, where you might end up getting attacked instead of running away, I still have a witch barrier on me, so I can support myself and move forward to the other world where the witch barrier is located when I leave it."

"So others might be interrupted while escaping, but I can directly avoid attacks from the cognitive world by moving towards another dimension."

"Unfortunately, I need a way to exit this space... Otherwise, if I can't escape it, I'll be stuck in the witch's barrier, and there'll be a vacuum period where I can get close to her."

As Zhixing dared to explore the retreat route to the bottom of the impression space alone, Zhixing also repeatedly confirmed the feasibility with Kamizuru Izuru before daring to set his sights on the method of cognitive death.

After dodging the attacks of two future [Desperate Remnants], Zhixing first found the exit of the witch's barrier while carrying the [Idol] on his back. Then he put her down and forced her to drink some drinking water to keep her alive. Then he walked back to the edge of the barrier alone and appeared in another classroom again.

"Doma...uh, I'm here to negotiate terms. Since the three of them are here, you should all be here too!"

After Zhixing shouted to the sky, he was careful about the shadows on the seats, and took advantage of the edge of the witch's barrier to head towards the place closest to the passage.

Sure enough, after noticing that Zhihang was deliberately avoiding, a shadowy figure who was writing something on his seat stood up and looked at Zhihang who had just revealed his head. He said:

"What are you doing here, intruder?"

"you are?"

Zhixing looked at the shadow who spoke to him, and looked him up and down for a long time, but still couldn't find an image that matched his impression.

"You can call me a [Super High School Level Con Artist], at least that's what they call me."

"The fat guy who pretends to be someone else and takes someone else's identity? You're not that fat, are you?"

Zhixing thought so and suspected that the other party was a shadow in disguise, and couldn't help but look at the shadows around him again.

"Don't you know? This is a world of cognition. Others may only have two images, but for me, I can replace any shadow."

Zhixing nodded, understanding the other person's current normal body shape. Knowing that this perceived image might not necessarily reflect the real person's appearance in reality, he spoke:

"If that's the case, then it should be okay to tell you."

"I just came to take a look, I didn't intend to steal anything. Of course, returning the property to its original owner is another matter."

Zhi Xing cautiously kept his distance from the other party, but then a shadowy figure approaching Zhi Xing raised his head and said to Zhi Xing:

"As expected of a 'spectator', even though you don't have the power to fight against the others, you still chose to come and take a look? I'm really sorry for not welcoming you."

Zhixing turned around immediately and saw another shadow in a suit. Zhixing couldn't help but feel that this place was like "The Matrix" and that the shadows could descend upon him at any time.

But fortunately, when translated into Chinese, everyone's voice will be different.

Although Zhihang was not sensitive to this, he would not forget the sound he had just heard not long ago.

"Komaeda, I didn't want to do that either. On my way here, I was thinking of making a deal to get a few of the students to become Persona users, and then I could come down to the bottom floor and watch under their protection."

"After all, the body cannot be transferred to other locations in the cognitive world. So with this handle, they will protect me from danger here."

"But you still came. When no one else was around, you came here all by yourself. You could have run away just now, but you still chose to take another look. You are obviously so talented. It turns out that you are still full of confidence in your talents. You are worthy of being the real hope."

Komaeda's words made Zhixing stunned for a moment, then he frowned and looked at Dangan 2's lucky Komaeda Nagito in disbelief:

"Are you saying that my judgment has been affected by the talents of this so-called 'spectator'?"

After all, Zhixing had been controlled by the Witch's Kiss many times, and even when he seemed to have escaped from the Witch's Kiss, he still took actions consistent with being controlled.

Therefore, Zhixing is still very cautious about this power that changes his cognition, so Zhixing chooses to go to P5, wanting to give himself a guarantee that he will not be affected.

[Reset] can restore the physical state, but the witch and witch's kiss in the soul are never eliminated.

Zhixing had clearly chosen this world on purpose, simply because he felt hopeless about the changes in consciousness in this world. Relying on the protection of the Witch's Kiss or the resistance he had cultivated, Zhixing believed that he would not be affected here.

Just because of a few words casually said by Kamizuru Izuru, was he really labeled as a "Super High School Level Bystander" by this world?

It is clearly a world of ordinary people, but such incomprehensible influences have occurred, which has tilted the balance of Zhixing's trust in the three wishes a lot.

"I see, that's how it is, haha, hahahahaha...that's how it is."

As if he had guessed something from Shixing's reaction, Komaeda couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This made Zhi Xing look around at other places, guarding against sneak attacks from others.

After a while, as if he had laughed enough, Komaeda couldn't help but explain to the paper:

"It seems you also went from being powerless to becoming a Super High School Level. It seems that was its method."

"Hmm? Do you know him?"

"Well, of course. That's the hope of all mankind, the [Super High School Level Hope]. How could I not notice it?"

"But, has there ever been a talent like [Super High School Level Observer] in the past?"

Zhixing walked out of the witch's barrier, looked at Komaeda who was lost in thought and couldn't be woken up, and then looked at the [Trickster] who had not spoken since Komaeda spoke.

After confirming that no one else was around, Paperwalker walked up to Komaeda, knocked on the table, waking him from his thoughts, and emphasized:

"I haven't had surgery, so it might be different from what you think."

Komaeda came back to his senses, and the fanaticism in his eyes when he looked at Zhixing was much less intense. It seemed that his thoughts had become clearer. He stood up from his seat, walked to the edge of the classroom, opened his arms, looked at the busy shadows of sentient beings, and said with his back to Zhixing:

"You must have known about this place for a long time, but this is your first time here. You don't even know how talents are born, so you say this."

"The birth of talent..."

Seeing that the other party was about to give a lecture, Zhi Xing came to the edge together and looked at the fraudster's position, while looking back at the classroom outside that was blocking his eyes.

"You know, after being summoned here, these shadows will record everything they see, hear, think, and feel on the white paper in front of them."

"After accumulating enough experience, the desires that were once entangled in the shadows will be put into the recorded examination papers."

"The test paper that records desires is inaccessible to these black and white bears who have lost their self-image. So although they will clear the test paper and the shadow, they cannot completely clear them away. They will only make room for a seat."

As if to confirm Shixing's understanding of the cognitive world, Komaeda turned around and looked at Shixing and asked:

"Shadows without desire no longer affect existence in reality. Their only function is to accumulate beneath this world, becoming stepping stones for this world to gradually move towards reality."

"Then, on the contrary, what will happen if the test papers carrying the other party's desires pile up?"

Zhi Xing looked at the shadows falling to the ground from time to time and the nurse saving the test papers, and his heart moved.

"You mean....secret treasure?"

"Secret treasure, huh? That's what it's called."

Komaeda pondered for a moment, then continued:

"The secret treasure you speak of is the source of the Super High School Level talent."

"You're saying that a shadow was born from the secret treasure, affecting reality and giving rise to life with special abilities?"

Zhi Xing exclaimed in surprise when he saw a blank piece of paper on the seat next to him. The paper was not as thick as a dictionary but just as thick as a writing notebook.

If the purpose of the contract is to interweave the desires of others with one's own desires in order to gain palace-level power.

Then, without a subject, the desire formed purely from the cognition of others will still form a secret treasure.

The original false god was such a being born from a secret treasure.

Based on this, an image emerged in Zhixing's mind: a newborn baby crawling out from under a hill of test papers.

But before Shiyuki could recover from this speculation, he heard Komaeda continue:

"After the talents are born, since they lack the mobility of normal shadows, they often treat the test papers around them as food for their growth."

"Given this unique growth environment, they will display talents that are different from others from a young age."

"But...that guy who calls himself the Super High School Level Hope isn't like that."

Zhixing thought about it and found that the situation was indeed different. After all, as a reincarnated body, the other party had even lost his original omniscience and was an ordinary person no different from the shadows present.

"So, what about people who acquire talent midway?"

Komaeda laughed again, but he didn't laugh out loud. Instead, he smiled and responded:

"Since talent wasn't born from within, there's only one way to acquire it."

"That is... to snatch it from these abandoned stepping stones!!"

"Hmm? There are talents among the stepping stones..."

Just when Zhixing was about to say that it wasn't only the shadow of overdrawing on the test paper that was used as a stepping stone, he couldn't help but remember the purpose of his visit. So he looked past the huge number of classrooms and looked at the pitch-black darkness below.

"Normally, talented people won't become stepping stones, but unexpected situations do happen."

"For example, when a talent dies... or when they are suppressed by other talents and lose confidence."

"Did you know? Back in the academy's history, when we first started recruiting talented people, they could fill up the entire grade. We could find people from almost every walk of life."

"As time went on, due to the pioneering work of their predecessors, those who lacked the time to grow also stopped in their tracks due to the insurmountable gap of time. As a result, the number of talented people that the academy could recruit became smaller and smaller."

"But those who choose to give up are not worthy of being called talented. They are just stepping stones."

"Only those who can maintain their confidence as talented people even when facing those far stronger than themselves are worthy of being called [Hope]."

Komaeda looked at Kamigao with disdain and declared his opinion of Kamizuru Izuru:

"They are nothing more than those who take the losers' belongings from the Stepping Stones and then take pride in themselves. How can they possibly be called 'Hope'?"

Chapter 308 It just happens to be similar

"If you put it that way, doesn't that mean he's even more powerful?"

"If those talents are achieved through the desires of others, then he becomes a talent by collecting the remains of more valuable talents from the remaining corpses."

"Other people become stepping stones because their desires have shifted, making them useless. But those talented people are not like that, right?"

Zhixing expressed his own opinion, but what he received was more disappointment from Komaeda.

"He's really a latecomer, his thinking is still at the level of an ordinary person."

"Well, I'm just an ordinary person, so I understand your misunderstanding."

"misunderstanding?"

"You think that people with super high school-level talents don't need to write down their desires, so if they become stepping stones, then they must still retain a significant proportion of desires."

"But unfortunately, those who are reduced to stepping stones, even those who were once talented, are nothing more than dregs."

Jiyuki fell silent, because from Komaeda's words, Jiyuki realized that this shadow Komaeda was not the character who envied and admired every "talent" after entering school. Instead, after being influenced by the despair movie, he was also full of joy at the jungle law among the talents, and would be happy no matter which side won.

So Zhihang changed the subject and asked:
