Of course, it may also be that the robot is not tall enough, so it needs something to lift it up so that everyone can see it.

"It's okay, I'll stand here and you guys chat first."

"Oh~ When this place was designed, there was an extra space. How about..."

Zhixing glanced at Monokuma unhappily, and Monokuma stopped talking on his own initiative.

I'm just worried that you can't see clearly.

Seeing this, Monokuma did not mention the matter again, but began to announce the third school referee and officially started the discussion.

But it is called a discussion, but it is actually just a question of choosing one from three options.

Zhixing did not participate in it, but just listened to their discussion and came to a conclusion on who the criminal was.

"Given that the [Disciplinary Officer] appears to have gained some kind of power after the initial transaction, and the traces of combat at the scene clearly weren't caused by a normal person."

"So, [Fighter] Oogami Sakura is the most likely to pose a physical threat."

"Then, the clothes were clearly damaged, but they weren't newly made, so it's very likely that [Girlfriend] Enoshima Junko was also there at the time."

"Finally, the person most likely to get a [fan fiction writer] to come to the locker room is a [gambler] who has a good relationship with Yamada Ichi-san."

Zhixing did not react as he watched them finish discussing the murderer.

Although he didn't quite understand what happened at first, Zhixing did ask the [Soldier] involved during the investigation about the situation, and he knew that the one who actually did it was the [Soldier] War Blade Mukuro who was also a personality mask user.

Zhixing glanced at the [Detective] Kirikiri Kyoko who had called him over, and wanted to ask why she had called him over.

But at this point the topic had shifted to sorting out the deal he had made with the [Disciplinary Officer], the deal in which he personally saved the [Bosozoku].

It took Zhixing a while to react. At this time, everyone was discussing the situation of the dagger over there.

After all, this case is a little different from usual ones.

It was clearly murder, but the most outrageous thing was that the [Young Master] faked the scene of the corpse.

If you just want to kill someone, there's no need to turn into a headless horseman.

But it was obvious that he used a dagger to commit the crime, but he still forcibly separated the head and the tail.

If it weren't for the fact that [Literary Girl] was on the list of survivors that Kyubey mentioned, this would have been the moment for [Murderer] to get rid of his suspicion.

But it was not the turn of the [Murderer] to reveal his identity, but it was the [Literary Girl] who provided a new clue for the appearance of the dagger.

"That dagger isn't meant for a fighter, nor is it a gambling tool... I know the owner of this dagger."

The [Literary Girl] pointed at the [Gal Girl] and said openly, unable to keep the secret:

"I know her true identity is... [Super-high-level soldier] Zhan Jian Mukuro."

"Is that really the case? How do you know that?"

[Hot Girl] was silent for a moment, looked at the reactions of the others, and her eyes fell on [Lucky] who was questioning this clue. She couldn't help scratching her head, narrowing her eyes and secretly glancing at Monokuma.

Seeing that he had no intention of stopping it, he decided to take off the wig from his head.

"I told you to keep it a secret, but it was exposed anyway."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm War Blade Mukuro, a [Super High School Level Soldier] from the Fenrir Mercenary Group."

The [Soldier] put away the exaggerated smile he had when he was disguised as the [Hot Girl], and his face became calm, as if his identity was revealed, but it was just his identity that was revealed.

"Are you still coming?! Could it be that everyone here has a second Super High School Level identity, and I'm the only one who can?"

The [Fortune Teller] was a little overwhelmed. He never expected that as time went by, people who should have known each other for a long time would first become a [murderer] and then a [soldier]. It made people wonder if there were any [assassins], [psychics], or other hidden talents among these classmates.

"No, no, no, absolutely... probably... probably no more."

[Swimming] I also feel that this single talent of mine is a bit too little.

"Hope's Peak seems to have its own way of judging talent. So even though I've won various tournaments, I've been given the title of 'Super High School Level Fighter' even though I'm not the strongest... That title should have been his."

[Fighter] couldn't help but think of her first love boyfriend who was not much different from her, but was plagued by illness, which led to the weakening of her physical functions and thus earned her this title.

"In other words, you admitted that the dagger was yours, right? And you also admitted that you had the [Disciplinary Officer] and..."

Before the Gambler could finish his words, the Soldier interrupted him rudely:

"It is true that this dagger belongs to me, but I did not kill the man."

"So, does that mean the others knew your identity and took your dagger?"

[Lucky] looked in the direction of [Literary Girl]. It wasn't that he doubted her, but when he was communicating with Kirikiri Kyouko, who hadn't yet remembered her [Detective] talent, he guessed that there might be a sixteenth super high school level student, but the other party actually directly predicted her talent.

[Lucky] thought about it, but couldn't find any time when the two of them talked together.

"Are you doubting me?"

"No, I just don't know where you got the information about the other party's talents."

"Of course I'll kill...that's what the guy said."

Seeing that the discussion was gradually going off track, the [Detective] glanced at Monokuma and then raised his hand to signal:

"The [Bystander] is quite far away. Could you please ask him to come over? I think I need him to explain the situation regarding this case, otherwise we'll soon be stuck in a dead end."

"After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the next thing we'll discuss is... how the [Disciplinary Officer] died."

Black and White Bear stretched, then jumped down from his seat and walked towards the paper shop while saying:

"Indeed, without the testimony of the [bystanders], it would be too much of a stretch to reach a conclusion that everyone would agree on."

"Well, the invincible young beautiful detective wants to invite you to share secrets. Do you want to go?"

"I can hear the sound from here, but I'm just too lazy to move."

Zhixing looked at the nine people who had turned their attention to him again because of Monokuma's actions, and he felt very bad.

If the murderer is still a [Gambler], then the transaction of souls after death and the privilege of saving a person can be used to save the person.

However, I clearly wanted to use the body of the "Bosozoku" in the image space, and wanted him to create and maintain the cognitive existence of the "Disciplinary Officer" in order to die in his place.

As a result... because I was not sure whether the time would be delayed, and I did not see the desperate figure under the penetrating perspective of the demon, I missed the time to save the situation.

As the murderer [soldier], I have not prepared a substitute. The only cognitive existence that can be used to die in place of me has already been opened. Although the corresponding hole has been opened, whether the angle can be the same as the original drama is another matter. Now it has become an unknown execution scene, and it is hard to say what kind of death it will be.

Although cognitive existence does not need to maintain a complete human form, so it is no problem to have a big hole or wound on the body like Hollow, but due to the relationship of cognition, it cannot be adjusted at any time like Slime.

Zhixing knew that once the final murderer was identified, the other party would inevitably die.

Although the other party has confirmed that he has taken action, and as one of the ultimate villains in this world, he has definitely killed many people.

But if the [murderer] turns over a new leaf, wouldn’t that also be acceptable?

It's just the premise of schizophrenia.

"What's wrong? If you don't want to come over, we can go over there. This is a school-level trial against the perpetrator. You should have known about it a long time ago. You wouldn't be hesitant now, right?"

Zhihang shook his head and made an excuse:

"I'm different from you guys. If I get involved, this guy might start trying to kill me."

"Of the 'moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor' categories, I don't have any involvement, nor do I want to take any part. So, for things like class refereeing, you guys should just do it on your own."

"Then why did you follow?"

[The Noble Young Master] immediately spoke up and denied this excuse with the actual actions of the paper bank.

"Because...I made a deal with someone else."

"Is it because of the deal you made with me?"

[Fighter] Although there was a distance between us, it was still easy to hear the voice coming from Paper Line in this echoing school court.

"No, in fact, all three of you have already made the deal."

"!!!"

"I see. So, are there any more transactions today?"

"...have."

The [Detective] sighed, then spoke to Zhi Xing without hesitation:

"Then make a deal with me, Kyubey."

Chapter 353: The School Referee's Intermission

When it comes to trading, the paper industry showed some interest.

Although the world's plan to deceive fate is no longer possible, Zhixing is still very interested in exploring the power of the cognitive world.

Especially in the original p5 time, each bond can unlock a certain bonus.

Unfortunately, Zhihang didn't hear any news about the bonus, so naturally there was no desire to deepen the relationship.

“Is it worth it?”

Zhihang frowned. Although it was the other party who initiated the transaction, if the other party did not want to understand, the contract could not be reached.

"Is there something wrong?"

Lucky was puzzled when he saw that the spectator actually questioned his transaction.

"Look, now you are choosing the murderer based on my script, which means you know my script is true."

"Well, since the script is true, then those of you who deserve to live will definitely live. This class trial will not cost you your lives."

"So...is this trade really necessary?"

Zhi Xing took a few steps forward, but still kept a considerable distance from the [Detective] as he confirmed.

"Hmph, since you made this rule yourself, you must uphold it with your life."

"Whether the deal is worth it is not up to you to decide. Even if this is just a step before I finally defeat the mastermind, it is worthy of praise. After all, this way I don't have to wait until the end to learn about your deal."

[The Nobleman] rarely expressed his affirmation.

Perhaps it was because at this time, Kirikiri Kyoko was no longer the amnesiac [???] talent, but a [detective] verified by a [murderer].

With this talent, even the [Young Master] believed that the [Detective] must have prepared sufficiently critical questions before choosing to make a deal.

"My goal wasn't to win the school refereeing competition, because no matter what, this could be considered a tragedy."

"Perhaps the current situation is really the same as the scenario you described. We can gradually identify the murderer through discussion."

"But this method of elimination is not what I want."

The [Detective] sighed, declined the two who interrupted him, and began to explain his actions.

"So, what do you want?"

"The truth, the truth that does not contradict the facts."

"The truth?"

Zhixing touched his chin, feeling that this reason was reasonable and could be regarded as a desire that matched the [Detective], so there was a high probability that a contract could be concluded.

"Indeed, part of this incident happened on my side, so I was only near the body. I might have missed a lot of things, although the result is the same."

Seeing that Zhixing agreed, [Swimming], who didn't want to be suspicious anymore, immediately suggested:

"Then tell me quickly, who is the culprit who harmed the [Disciplinary Officer] and the [Fan Fiction Writer]?!"

Zhi Xing glanced at [Swimming] and didn't respond. Instead, he looked at [Detective] and said:

"Since this is a deal, in addition to satisfying your questions, you also have to meet my requirements. You are clear on this, right?"

The [Detective] nodded and began to wait for the paper bank to offer the corresponding conditions.

Zhi Xing opened his mouth, then added a premise:

"Because you are all survivors, the transactions you conduct with me are no longer short-term transactions that produce quick results, so..."

Zhi Xing closed his eyes, confirmed his thoughts in his mind, then looked at the [Detective] and said:

"The more questions you ask me, the more you'll have to help me next time. Is that okay? I'll decide based on the situation."

"What do you mean by next time?"

[Detective] didn't agree immediately after hearing this, but instead confirmed what he was going to do.

"Since it's a long-term issue, then it shouldn't be the next time something happens to the two people who survived the school's refereeing, right?"

"Of course, they'll kill each other next time."

Zhixing responded with a desperate attitude.
