After introducing themselves, the people gathered at the entrance began to discuss the current situation. Indeed, any normal person would find that the situation was not good. According to their own memories, they should all be freshmen who came to this school, but after entering here, they suddenly lost consciousness, and after waking up, they found themselves sleeping in the school.
Not only that, their means of communication also disappeared, plus the thick steel plates covering the windows, the completely blocked door, and the things that looked like heavy machine guns on both sides... It would be weird if this wasn't found strange!
Fang Zheng did not participate in the discussion of the plot. Instead, he stood in the corner, silently thinking about the situation in front of him.
Fang Zheng also said that he was relatively familiar with this world. He had played three "Danganronpa" games in a row, namely "Danganronpa 1" which he is currently playing, "Danganronpa 2" which was later re-enacted in the virtual world, and "Danganronpa 1.5" which was mainly based on the perspective of Makoto Naegi's sister. Therefore, Fang Zheng was also familiar with the background of this world.
To put it simply, a guy named "Super High School Level Despair" triggered the biggest and worst event in the world, which led to the spread of despair and destroyed the entire world. The people in front of him were actually survivors who were protected in the shelter.
However, the mastermind killed the chairman of Hope's Peak Academy, seized control of the place, and somehow erased the memories of these people for the past two years, thus starting a desperate game of fratricide.
Although their memories are still stuck on the time when they first entered school, in fact they have been companions for two years.
As for the mastermind behind the scenes...there's no need to play tricks on me, just tell me the conclusion directly.
That is the "Super High School Level Despair" of Junko Enoshima.
In fact, the Enoshima Junko who appeared in front of them now was not herself, but Enoshima Junko's sister, Senren Mukuro, who was hailed as a "super high school level mercenary."
That’s right, no reasoning or deciphering required. I just circled the criminal’s name on the first page of the detective novel and specially marked “This is the criminal”. What can you do to me?
Fang Zheng loved doing this kind of thing the most when he was in the library.
It’s so cool to have invisible spoilers.
If this was just a pure world of reasoning, then Fang Zheng really wouldn't need to care.
But the problem is that this is not just an ordinary reasoning game world, especially considering the current situation. You must know that this "examination room" was opened when the traces of the Four-Leaf Galaxy civilization were retrieved, and if Fang Zheng remembered correctly, the whole world in the game background is basically a mess now, with all kinds of chaos and on the verge of doomsday.
According to common sense, it is a fantasy that a cult-like organization created by just one person can turn the whole world into this state. But if this is linked to the power of chaos, then it is another matter. Although I don't know how it is set in the original book, but judging from the current situation of the Four Leaf Galaxy, it is certain that the desperate disaster that occurred here should be the result of the invasion of chaos.
And Enoshima Junko should be the spokesperson or incarnation of the power of chaos - just like the believers of the Church of Twilight in the main world.
Hmm... now it seems that this is what the faith of the Cult of Despair is all about?
“Ding…ding…ding…ding…ding…”
However, just as Fang Zheng was thinking, a bell suddenly rang. Then, everyone saw the TV on the wall not far away began to flash with snowflakes and a dark figure, as well as a voice that made people want to hit it.
"Ah, ah... Mike test, Mike test, campus announcement, campus announcement. Is that all right? I think you can hear me. So... freshmen, I want to start the entrance ceremony right away. Please gather in the gymnasium immediately. That's all. Please."
After saying this, the screen was cut off again, and everyone present was speechless.
"What? It's the entrance ceremony. Wow, you scared me."
"Then I'll be leaving first."
Some of them seemed to really think that this was just a unique entrance ceremony, so they walked directly to the gymnasium. The others who stayed where they were were somewhat uneasy. After all, this was too weird. Even if they had lost two years of memory, it was very abnormal for any normal person.
“Well, that…”
However, at this moment, Fang Zheng saw Miao Mucheng coming to his side and looking at him anxiously.
"What do you think?"
"I don't have any opinion. Once you go there, you will know the situation."
Having said this, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"I will fight her to the end, no matter what she wants to do."
"Yes, is that so..."
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Naegi Makoto seemed to be at a loss for words, and after hearing this, Kirikiri Kyoko silently looked at Fang Zheng without saying anything. So Fang Zheng also walked straight towards the gymnasium.
The further they went, the more they felt something was wrong.
"This should be... a school, right? Why is there no one here?"
The beautiful girl with dark blue hair, the super high school idol Sayaka Maizono looked around uneasily and whispered to herself. Indeed, as she said, although this place looks like a school, there seem to be only a dozen of them in the huge building, and the others seem to be completely non-existent.
Others might have had similar questions, but no one spoke up. However, everyone's expressions became much more serious, and soon, the group arrived at the gymnasium.
Looking around, it seemed like a normal opening ceremony. There were dozens of chairs in the gymnasium, and a podium and microphone on the rostrum. The students who had come here before also looked around in confusion.
But just after the last person walked into the gymnasium, suddenly, the same shameless and annoying voice sounded again.
"Is everyone here? Let's get started!"
Hearing the voice, everyone instinctively turned their heads and looked towards the podium. Then they saw a half-black and half-white, puppet-like black and white bear suddenly jumped out from behind the podium, sat on the podium, and looked at them with a smile.
“…”
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.
"What is this?"
"Muppet?"
"I'm not a puppet! I'm Monokuma, and I'm your principal of this school!"
“Hah…!?”
After hearing the words of the puppet who called himself Black and White Bear, everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Is there anything more ridiculous than a living puppet claiming to be their principal?
It is true.
While others were still wondering why this puppet could talk and move, Fang Zheng's face had already darkened. He could feel that this black and white bear was surrounded by a strong aura of chaos. This was undoubtedly a product of chaos, and its concentration was not much different from that of the Dusk believers who believed in chaos in the main world.
It seems that this world is exactly as he expected. Although it is the remaining civilization in the Four-Leaf Galaxy, at its current level... it is probably more troublesome than the world that Chtholly and the others came from. After all, if Fang Zheng's memory is correct, chaos in this world should be infected, spread, and amplified through the emotion of "despair".
In a sense, this is more terrifying than simple virus infection and mutation.
So how do we solve this problem?
While Fang Zheng was thinking, Black and White Bear also informed other students of the situation. After learning that they would have to stay in this school for the rest of their lives and could never leave, and would never be able to contact the outside world, these students immediately couldn't help but explode. This was also normal. In their memories, they were just freshmen who had just entered school and had not encountered anything special before. Suddenly being told that they would be locked up in this prison-like place for the rest of their lives, no one could stand it, right?
Just when everyone was terrified, Black and White Bear seized the opportunity and made a request to them.
"If you want to leave school, there are ways. As the principal, I can give you a graduation condition. You need to abide by the order in school life. If anyone disrupts the order, then you can leave the school. That is the graduation condition."
"So, what does that mean by disrupting order?"
The super high school level rich second generation Jushin Byakuya stared at Monokuma and asked in a low voice. As if waiting for his question, Monokuma opened his mouth again, revealing a weird and hideous smile.
“Hufufu… that, is it about killing people?”
“…”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"kill?"
"That's right. Only students who have killed others can leave here. The conditions are that simple, right? I've said before that you are the hope of this world. If you let these hopes kill each other, it will definitely turn into wonderful despair! Hahaha, then please do your best!"
“…Huh?”
"What a joke!"
"As a prank, this is too much!"
The students were not surprised to see Monokuma's words fall into chaos. Some still thought it was just a prank, some were terrified, and some were furious. The biker Yamato jumped onto the podium and grabbed Monokuma.
"I don't know if you're a puppet or something, but I'm going to tear you into pieces!"
"Ah, it's against school rules if the principal uses violence on you, right?!"
The captured black and white bear struggled comically, but no one could laugh at the situation.
"Stop talking nonsense and let us leave here now, otherwise we will..."
However, before the biker could finish his words, he heard a strange and weird beeping sound coming from the black and white bear's body. Soon, the sound became more and more rapid. At the same time, the white-haired girl Kirikiri Kyouko, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Danger, throw it away!"
"ah?"
Although a little surprised, the biker gang still followed Kirigiri Kyouko's order and threw the black and white bear in their hands away. The next moment, the black and white bear exploded completely in the air with a "bang".
“…”
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
"Why, why did it explode?"
"But since it exploded, it means that the bear is dead..."
But before he could finish his words, another black and white bear suddenly jumped out.
"Hey, I'm not dead yet!"
"Another one!"
Seeing this, the others felt like they were about to collapse.
"That's right. There are many black and white bears in the school. This time it's just a minor punishment. If it happens again, it won't end so easily. So, let's talk about this next..."
"etc."
Just when Black and White Bear was about to say something else, Fang Zheng suddenly stood up and looked at Black and White Bear.
"Before that, I have something to ask you. Are you really the principal?"
“…”
This time, the black and white bear did not answer Fang Zheng's question immediately. Instead, he stared at him silently and then grinned.
"Huh? It seems like a strange student ran in. I don't remember inviting you to join."
"That's why I'm here."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng raised his hand, and then flames burst out, surrounding him and transforming into a giant dragon. Seeing this incredible scene, the other students suddenly widened their eyes in surprise and stepped back.
"It seems that you can't produce proof that you are the principal, Monokuma. Then I'll start with you! You said just now that this school is full of Monokuma bears. So I want to see how long you can withstand my attack!"
As the words fell, the first fire burst out, and then the black and white double blades appeared in Fang Zheng's hands.
"Then let's get started, Monokuma, do you have enough backup?!"
