Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Therefore, the [Observer] understood that even if he said something here, the live audience would not hear it, so he tried to give a spoiler:

"From what I understand of the script, the plan she told you was to lock you up in a small dark room, out of everyone's sight, and start causing trouble both openly and covertly, right?"

""

"But actually, for her, this is already the end game."

""

"So, for this final moment of despair, she chose to kill you at the very beginning."

"I'm just a [Super High School Level Hottie], why would Monokuma target me?"

"Because you are her sister, you still retain your memories, and you definitely didn't expect to be attacked in public during the execution."

"How on earth do you know all this? And..."

The [Soldier] couldn't help but look at the camera in the corridor, and heard the [Onlooker] interrupt:

"Other people might think my script is that there are other people participating in the same game, or that the game has been held more than once."

"But this script lets you know my true identity and the original plan with my sister?"

The [Soldier] began to follow the [Onlooker]'s statement and couldn't help but say in surprise:

"Are you a friend of the Fortune Teller? I didn't expect someone to slip through the net."

"Uh... Although it's similar in this sense, I'm not familiar with the term "Fortune Teller"."

[Observer] I really despise divination that has only a one-third hit rate. After all, I have seen divination that was 100% accurate in P5.

"A script for the future?"

The [Observer] nodded, agreeing with the other party's statement and continued:

"After understanding this premise, it's your turn to make a choice."

Zhi Xing raised his right hand and proposed an option:

"If you want to know why you die, choose your right hand."

Then he stretched out his left hand and said:

"If you want to know what happens to Monokuma's operator in the script, choose the left hand."

The [onlooker] held out his hands, waiting for the [soldier's] choice.

"Hmph, what does that have to do with me? More than that, what on earth did you do in that room? Why does the world look different the moment I open my eyes?"

[Onlooker] didn't expect the other party to refuse, so he raised his eyebrows and slowly withdrew his outstretched hands.

Did it start with being alone? I remember that after the deal fell through, I considered that the murderer and the victim needed to hurry up, so I chose to bring her back to reality without any contact, and then we went to the cafeteria together.

Zhixing listened to the [Soldier] talking about the first time they were alone together, while adding to his own thoughts at that time.

Just when Zhixing thought he was about to talk about something he didn't know, he heard Zhan Ren Mukui continue:

"The moment you retracted your hand, I seized this conceited opportunity and rushed forward. I was originally planning to kill you on the spot according to Monokuma's deal."

Zhi Xing's pupils shrank, as if he had an ominous premonition.

Hmm? Did she... come rushing over? Why don't I remember that?

"What I didn't expect was that even though I successfully broke your neck, it healed the next moment."

As the [Soldier] finished speaking, Zhi Xing seemed to have turned on a switch, and he suddenly felt like he was recalling something he had no recollection of.

"You didn't choose either? Sure enough, there are still three options... What are you doing?!"

The [onlooker] watched the [soldier] suddenly rushing towards him. Relying on his experience with the high-speed moving props he had seen when he was in Liangshanpo, Zhixing was not assassinated completely inexplicably. However, due to the difference in physical fitness, Zhixing could only make a backward movement and was then stuck to the side of the [soldier].

Witch's barrier!

If it was an expected surprise attack, Zhixing could still rely on his training at that time to avoid dodging or evading.

However, this action was beyond his understanding, and he subconsciously wanted to escape. When he couldn't escape, the first thing he remembered was that he had the power of the witch's barrier.

However, the always protective witch barrier did not react to the [Soldier's] charge.

Because...when the [Soldier] came in front of the paper line, he noticed that the paper line was retreating.

So he slowed down in advance, and stretched out his hand at a relatively extreme distance, grabbed Zhixing's wrist, and threw him over his shoulder, smashing him hard to the ground.

Why...was the witch's barrier...being ignored?

Zhixing didn't have this doubt for long. After he lost his ability to resist the throwing technique, he felt his head buzzing and his vision and hearing became a little blurred.

Then)

"Since you have a so-called script, you should be able to understand my actions."

[The soldier] also felt a little embarrassed.

After all, compared to others, [Bystander] took the initiative to take on the task of lookout in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, and only after confirming that Monokuma did not try to stop this behavior too much did she choose to take the pills she had hidden to prevent unnecessary accidents.

It is really difficult to rely on verbal deals to restrict the actions of the target who is clearly the one who is being killed.

But it is too difficult for the [Soldier] to come up with a harmonious logic to explain his behavior, which he doesn't know which step is not in the script. Only then can he be the [Soldier]'s combat-oriented War Blade.

What's more... the talent of the other party's [bystander] is so strange. I'm afraid there really is another hidden social level. Then I probably can't hide the fact that I killed him. It's better to complete the transaction directly.

Zhi Xing reached out and touched his neck, especially rubbing the side that had long carried the Witch's Kiss, and asked with a strange expression:

"You mean...you attacked my neck?"

"Well, because I..."

“Did you feel any actual contact?”

"Yes, yes, what's wrong?"

"...It's okay, just continue."

Zhixing took off his glasses, rubbed his nose bridge, and felt the coolness coming from his body.

That was the fear of knowing that you had actually died without knowing it.

Obviously, I have the ability to escape from the cognitive world like [Sightseeing], so I am not too scared even if I face [Soldiers] one-on-one.

The reason why the witch's barrier was not triggered is that the force of the opponent's attack was too small to be within the range of normal contact, and the person was already in close contact, so it was not transferred to the witch's barrier?

"Isn't that easier to break than one party's automatic reflexes? At least that requires the force to be withdrawn and applied in the opposite direction the moment of contact, while I... can be dealt with with just a few falls."

After being protected by the witch for so long, I thought only the masters of Liangshanpo could do it without triggering the witch's barrier.

Have you accidentally become proud again?

Zhi Xing continued to reflect on himself while listening to the soldier's testimony in court:

"I thought I had knocked you out and was about to take you to the incinerator before anyone in the cafeteria noticed."

"But I just turned my head towards the cafeteria, and then I heard the sound of bones shifting coming from you."

"When I turned around, I saw you had already escaped from my grasp, unconcerned with my actions. Continuing with the previous conversation, I said, 'Well, if it's not possible, then it's not possible. I won't force you. Anyway... let me take you back first.'"

"At that time, I felt from you the level represented by your world."

"That kind of... one who already has life and death in their hands, and therefore can sit back and watch the situation develop to this point, only to be brought to this point by this fratricide... despair."

Zhi Xing looked at the glasses in his hand, as if to check if there were any damages, or as if to divert his attention, and said with a disdainful smile:

"Desperate...? I see. I thought it was the [Programmer] back then, but it's you."

Zhixing put on his glasses again and solemnly declared:

"I really don't understand your definition of despair. Why are they all so strange?"

"For the sake of partners, family, and image, I can understand some of this. After all, it all concerns my future situation."

"I feel panic and fear because I think the future will be meaningless."

"But what's going on with you? Is there anything else you should be afraid of?"

Zhixing knew that as a [Soldier], Zhan Ren Mukuro was never shaken even though he had the [Super High School Level Despair] of wanting to kill his sister all the time. Zhan Ren Mukuro was even happy that his sister was carrying out the act of killing herself.

And as someone who enters a battle, he will abandon his emotions, and usually he doesn't think too much. He just thinks that he can protect his sister's happiness, and he doesn't have any expectations for the future.

For a person like this, what could possibly shake her mind?

"But... the casualties outside have reached this level, and we already know that the limit of what someone with [Super High School Level] talent can achieve after reaching adulthood is the level of the Future Organization."

"But suddenly I'm doing something I'd quickly get tired of, and then there's someone like you, someone who can transcend life and death."

"Of course, my sister must have caught your attention through her behavior, so they sent you here to take my sister away!"

Zhi Xing looked at the [Soldier] in front of him who had crossed his arms and understood the reason for his despair.

Will it make those who don’t know how to look into the future lose the present?

"Another dimension, a world for the truly talented. Is it really possible for someone like me who can do nothing but fight to enter it?"

"I know about that guy. After my sister had a new idea, I sorted out the information of the previous [Super High School Level] graduates."

"None of those missing talents took their family and friends with them. On the contrary, even if the talent is gone, as the bloodline that nurtured the talent, their status will rise according to the heights the talent once reached."

"If Despair also enters that world, then... we will definitely never see each other again. If I don't look for her, she will definitely avoid me just to see my despair."

As if thinking of the situation where they were both still alive but had no contact from then on, the [Soldier] suddenly regained his composure, looked at the paper and said:

"So...I won't let you take my sister away from me...I'll...end it soon."

Zhi Xing tilted his head, looking as if to say, "Is this the end?" But he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

I thought that the other party had done something that was not in the original book, and had broken his fate, so he would naturally target the six survivors.

Sure enough, I began to overestimate myself and actually thought that I was not allowed to intervene because I was concerned about my performance.

Now it seems that he thinks that I came here to recruit [Despair] on behalf of the people from the extraordinary world because I saw the global live broadcast, so he wants to end this game quickly, use the trade to make it impossible for me to interfere, and take [Despair] away from his contact range?

That's right. After all, the [Soldier] knew very well that even if it went against my sister's plan, this failure would bring her a sense of satisfying despair. So since both sides could help my sister, then I should just stop this interview that was suspected to be a talent show, hide myself, and let me return to another world.

Is this...her purpose?

Zhixing felt that he quickly understood the other party's thoughts, and after giving a logically coherent reason, his thoughts involuntarily shifted to the question he had skipped before.

Then... why do I have the memory of losing my life after being killed... and why... when it is mentioned, I can remember it again?

Is it a [reset]? Or... because it's in the cognitive world?

Chapter 350: Resurrection? Resurrection?

Although the cognitive world comes from "p5", the power system of this entire series is not exactly the same.

Therefore, the only ones that can be used as reference are P5 and its derivatives.

Although Zhixing has learned the plot of p5, it does not give us a deeper understanding of the entire series.

But even in the main story of p5, there are two "plot kills" in the perfect clearance.

One is the personality mask user, Goro Akechi, who was defeated by the soldiers in the palace.

One is that Shido Zhengyi launched a temporary counterattack, but because of the time difference between the two worlds, the battle was over. Only when he faked his death and caused the collapse of the hall did Ryuji become the only one left alone.

Although Zhixing did not personally participate in this kind of late-stage plot, he had already become very familiar with the feeling of entering and exiting the cognitive world in the app incident.

Compared to the surface of the impression space that can be entered and exited at any time.

Whether in the palace or in the depths of the impression space, it is impossible to return to reality directly.

If special means are not used, then the only way to return to the real world is at the entrance to the other world.

This is also the reason why Goro Akechi did not disappear when he was alone to cover the retreat, and the reason why the arrest of the leader of the Phantom Thieves, which was supposed to happen in the original plot, was not suspected.

Whether they are facing a shadow with cognitive powers or a police officer without any cognitive powers, the Phantom Thieves have no means of escaping directly during the war.

If Goro Akechi could be captured like Mona after he left alone to cover the retreat, then he should have survived safely after the complete collapse of Shido's Hall of Justice.

After all, even Ryuji, who was swept away by the explosion when the palace collapsed and separated from the Phantom Thieves who returned to reality from the entrance, was able to return to the team safely in just one or two minutes.

Given that Long Si himself couldn't figure out how he came back.

So the first thing we should consider is that after the hall disappeared, Long Si returned to the impression space, and because the coordinates of the app disappeared, the navigation automatically canceled his return.

The secondary possibility... is that Ryuji's death in the cognitive world was replaced by the power of the personality mask, so he did not die because of the terrain of the hall, but was alive and kicking and fighting again.

The paper industry originally stopped at these two possibilities and did not think deeply about them.

After all, it is hard to say whether the power of the cognitive world can directly kill people.
