Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Zhixing opened his mouth, but looking at the expression of [despair], he knew that if the other party really lost, he would probably seize this excuse and be eager to taste despair.

Under such a rule that can actually take effect, the opponent may indeed end this unchangeable rule of fate by dying alone.

but...

"Does it take death to change fate?"

"Those who harm others will eventually fail, and then the only one who will suffer is me."

"Although your statement is indeed tempting, I will not accept something that could threaten my life."

Although I am not sure whether I will lose courage in the future after this retreat, this is not the only world I can go to. As long as I can survive, the future is promising!

But the [onlookers] are not in a hurry, but [despair] is.

"I was planning on using this as information for a new deal... but there's nothing I can do. If this continues, the outcome will only remain hopeless and unchanged."

"So, rejoice, you are about to learn a hidden secret."

"?"

"Are you really yourself?"

Chapter 376 The Future, I Come

"It's not a talent like 'Bystander', nor is it a nickname like Kyubey. Is the person standing here really you?"

"Although it's just a little bit, you should have suspected that you are not yourself."

When Zhixing heard what [Despair] said, he immediately thought of the fact that he had just questioned [Lucky]'s identity.

After all, before this, Zhixing knew that there were many talented people in the villain camp who could replace one person, so perhaps it was his own suspicion of them that exposed his suspicious character, allowing [Despair] to use this character to carry out half-true and half-false deceptions.

But putting aside the content, [Despair]'s behavior made Zhixing realize that the other party actually wanted him to participate in this school refereeing. As for the purpose, was it because the school referee would have the opportunity to fall into despair only if he joined, or because he did not want to turn the game into a simple and crude armed struggle, thus letting the plan of absorbing talents fail.

The speed at which Zhixing's brain works does not allow him to distinguish them one by one in a short period of time.

"Yeah, yeah, my name is actually Hatcher, so what?"

Anyway, "Madoka Magica" has been broadcast here, and the other party is likely to know Kyubey's second identity through surveillance.

Of course, this was because Zhi Xing saw that the person next to him was approaching and standing not far behind him, and there was a vague tendency to surround [Despair], so he had the mind to play a trick.

Although Zhixing did not think that the protagonists would definitely win with the blessing of fate, it was more than enough to delay the time for Zhixing to escape into the witch's barrier.

"Look, you really don't have any self-awareness. It looks like the Observer must have done something to you, so you dare to appear here like this."

"The moment I saw you, I knew you were an extremely timid person. But for someone so timid to often reveal a fearless attitude is really suspicious."

"But after seeing your methods, the only thing that can give you confidence is the ability to create projections of [Programmers] and [Bosozoku]."

"At first, I thought you chose to hide because of this ability, and participated in the campus life of this fratricidal school through this projection of yourself, so I didn't care much about your deliberate performance."

"But after actually touching it, I can confirm that the touch of your body is completely different from something that only looks similar."

"I'm shocked. I didn't expect you to neglect such a safe operation. Perhaps this means that this talent actually contains some hidden dangers, and even though you are older than high school students, you haven't been able to remedy it, so you are participating in it in person."

[Despair] ignored the actions of others to surround him from behind and take over [Luck], and instead imitated Zhixing's previous actions and clapped his hands.

The next moment, the black and white bear mask that was still controlled by the witch's kiss turned into a pool of liquid and disappeared, while the crowd that should have maintained their desperate impulses stood far away, centered on the paper, outside the range of the witch's kiss.

"As you can see, although this kind of thing does consume resources, it's not impossible to command. If necessary, it's not impossible to control it at all times."

"If that's not the reason, then why didn't you do it? During your first class refereeing session, you even separated yourself to save the Baseball Player over there, and even deliberately let the Fighter attack you to prove that you were a real person."

"As expected, you should know everything about me, whether it's my talent or my personality, through your ability as a [Bystander]."

"Since we can create something harder than ordinary projections, then if we put all our efforts into it, it is not impossible to create a being like you."

"By the way, what is this called? Shadow, is that what it's called? Or should I say... Palace Shadow?"

Zhixing listened for a long time, and when he heard the familiar words, he raised his eyebrows and immediately realized that the reason why the other party showed up was probably because it was only the shadow of [Despair] that came out, and he himself was still trying to control this huge secret treasure, the black and white bear.

But then he thought that it was possible that the other party had come into contact with his own shadow and thus knew it. What's more, the shadow of the [Baseball Player] had stayed in the other party's hand for a while. Although he didn't know how long exactly, judging from the [Baseball Player's] performance at the time and the fact that he could still appear now, the other party was most likely not executed by [Despair] on the spot.

It wouldn't be surprising if we could squeeze out some of the instinctive knowledge of the world.

When the evasive question was interrupted due to insufficient evidence, Zhi Xing's reaction arc lengthened and he noticed what was described by [Despair].

"I am the master of the temple?"

Zhi Xing looked at his own body, then looked at the cognitive being beside him that still maintained the form of the demonized [Teddy Bear].

It is also a cognitive existence, but compared to the two-dimensional version created before, this paper bear can even guard the defense line on the [idol] side alone among the army of black and white bears that are also cognitive existences.

If you install the classification of witches, they are also composed of magic power. Ordinary magic power can only create several different, but large number of ordinary familiars. But now the [Teddy Bear] is equivalent to an elite familiar who can go out and open the barrier alone to spread the witch's kiss. It is similar to the status of the children on the pseudo street in the movie.

Then the one who can create such rare and special existences is naturally the creator of the witch barrier.

Unfortunately, there are also three categories in the palace.

Cognitive existence, ordinary shadow soldier, elite shadow, master of the hall

Although compared to the witch's barrier, there is another entity that can be equated with the master of the hall.

This is not clear whether the instinct of understanding the world can explain this, nor is it clear whether [despair] can be judged through [analyst].

"Where's the evidence?"

Although the paper merchant looked calm, when he, who had originally wanted to back out, raised questions, that was when the fish took the bait.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft. Even a child could see that. And you actually said you didn't know. It seems you were really determined to hide the information. You really only wanted to make a deal."

"Look, compared to the others who were dragged into this fratricide, you chose to come here even though you knew I existed, right?"

"In order to hide their true purpose, people often pretend to have an apparent purpose and keep working towards it."

"I know about this method of modifying memories to hide one's true purpose."

"Because the real self only needs to be hidden, so that the public self loses the memory of the plan and does not think about the relevant content. Then you can deceive yourself and deceive others."

"Just like what they did in that theater version of 'Rebellion' that you played."

Zhi Xing frowned slightly and once again felt a sense of coincidence.

"Indeed, as a means of survival, this approach is very much something I can do. However... although I am developing this ability, I am still far from being able to achieve the level you describe. You can probably tell that."

As Zhixing spoke, he looked at the shadows of the "Bosozoku" within the encirclement.

As [Despair] said, after the paper line confirmed that it could create cognitive existence, it was not that there was no one in the real world, an idea in the impression space.

However, it is still unclear how to connect the cognitive existence in the impression space with the real space.

What's more, this was the first time a cognitive existence was created, and it was created with the unique and eye-catching nature of Hope's Peak.

Although it seems to be much more flexible in intelligence than the cognitive being created by the Lord of the Hall alone, once it encounters an unexpected situation, it will fall into a state of not daring to act and will not even be able to perform on the spot.

This was also the reason why the [Disciplinary Officer] was trapped for two days.

The power is provided by the [Disciplinary Officer], who does not know how to adapt and can only follow the established settings, so the paper company says that this will be a cycle.

If the other party was not an impossible person, Zhixing would not have come up with such an impossible thing.

Although it seems that the other party has not broken the impossibility of cognitive existence.

On the contrary, as a native, we have the original cognitive shadow accumulated over time.

Even if he is not in Hope's Peak Academy, he can still appear in reality alone with the help of the Witch's Kiss, which is what Zhixing thinks is most useful.

Because this allowed Zhixing to see a [Sacrificial Flow] route that directly absorbs the filth of magical girls through the shadows of other people.

Although it's a bit of a desperate move, Zhixing just wants to experience the ending of "Magic Circle", which will only take a few months or even one or two reincarnations, so it's enough to consume.

"Hey~ The [Bystander] doesn't even care that his life is fake. How adorable~"

"But~ the current [Bystander] hasn't completely returned to himself~ I will work hard to wake him up!"

[Despair] looked cute and energetic, jumping around in a circle, and then, as if changing his face, he changed into another personality and said:

"So, how will you react after hearing this?"

Zhixing immediately became alert and began to call the little bear in his mind in advance.

Because after saying so much, although Zhixing knew that this was a misjudgment made by the other party due to the intelligence gap of several world levels, he really didn't understand which of these reasons could allow him to get involved.

"Failure, failure failure failure failure failure...hopeless failure!"

The sudden abandonment of [Despair] made the group of [Super High School Level] people surrounding her a little nervous. They watched [Despair]'s every move with their eyes, ready to take action at any time to try to subdue this former [Gal Girl] with force.

However, when [Despair] was talking to Zhixing, everyone who had already learned the whole story from [Lucky] was waiting for Zhixing, the [bystander], to make a decision. Even the most impulsive [bosozoku] was able to resist the urge to take action with his own talents.

"I...I'm sorry, Homura..."

"!!!"

"...The future has already been decided. There is no way to rewrite it."

Zhi Xing slowly exhaled a breath of cold air, and his eyes involuntarily looked at [Despair] who was smiling and imitating a sad tone.

"You look like you want to know what's next. Very good, very good. I think you understand what to do then."

"I don't know. Tell me, what can I get, and what should I do? I need a clear answer and a deal."

"Then, as [Super High School Level Despair], I will make you a deal!"

"Bet your life and participate in the upcoming class judging of Wuqiri Jin. After the voting is completed, I will tell you what I haven't finished yet!"

"Row!"

Zhi Xing nodded as if he had gained confidence. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the voice of Enoshima Junko coming from the secret treasure Monokuma above his head:

"I am you...you are me..."

Hasn't the contract been signed yet?

Zhi Xing raised his head in confusion, and at that moment, the secret treasure black and white bear also lowered its head. At the same time, a red beam of light shone down from the red eye and fell squarely on [Despair] who was in the encirclement.

In the few seconds when the blood-red beam of light blocked his vision, [Despair] disappeared from the encirclement.

As the target that could be attacked disappeared, the scene was quiet for a few seconds, and then a voice broke the silence.

"Um... Kyubey-sama, no [Bystander]-sama... that girl called Homura, shouldn't be the one I think she is, right? Because... she doesn't exist in reality, right? There are no demons in this world... Ahhh... Ahhhh!"

Zhixing wanted to immerse himself in his thoughts, but in the midst of this noise, he could only turn around and look at the [fan writer] who made the sound.

Seeing the [Fan Fiction Writer] trembling, Zhixing looked in the direction of the other person's finger.

There, a white khubi was standing quietly by, looking at everyone in the field.

"...Don't worry about such details. Anyway, go ahead and search. I need to find a place to think things over."

"Wait, why are you suddenly involved? What does Monokuma's message mean?"

[Young Master] was the only person present who had not yet completed a transaction. Seeing that the paper company was about to leave, he asked the question that everyone was concerned about.

"Well, that's probably a message from my future self."

"Maybe?" "In the future?" "Another Observer?"

[Lucky], [Fortune Teller], and [Literary Girl] all cried out in surprise at the same time, but Zhi Xing didn't intend to pay attention to them and just casually responded:

"It's okay. Like I said before, I'm from the future. If I can come to the present, I can also come to the time before everything became like this."

Everyone looked at the dilapidated buildings and crazy crowds around them, and they couldn't help but look at Zhi Xing with a hint of different expectations in their eyes.

"Since I can still return alive, and I'm sure my starting point was to find someone during this time, so... we won this school refereeing match, because fate cannot be changed."

Although Zhixing was not sure about this, he felt that since [Despair] could say this, he must have seen himself in Danganronpa 3, so he said this.

Similarly, knowing that he could survive into the future and go back again, he chose to risk his life. Isn't this what Enoshima Junko wanted to use to get a legitimate excuse for execution?

"Then why did you leave a message to Enoshima Junko? Is that message true?"

The [detective] who was checking for omissions and filling in the gaps put forward his own views.

"what?"

Zhixing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he was too concerned about the content of the message and seemed to have not thought enough.

As if seizing the perfect opportunity, the Secret Treasure Black and White Bear had already stepped over the crowd and arrived at Hope's Peak Academy. At the same time, he announced in his familiar Black and White Bear voice:

"A special body has been discovered. Please return to the principal's office immediately. After a period of free time, a class hearing will be held!"

Chapter 377: Spoilers for the Observer

As the sound of the broadcast reached the location of Zhixing and the others, the black and white bear masks that were originally standing outside the range of Zhixing began to raise human missiles.

One after another, the black and white bears were thrown in front of the super high school level students, and then, as if strengthened, they indiscriminately attacked the closest and only super high school level students within their reach.
