"On the verge of destruction?"
Everyone was dumbfounded by Fangzheng's words.
"What does that mean? Is there a world war? "
"No. Strictly speaking, you can think of it as a combination of a cult and a virus. Simply put, there's a person named 'Super Colonel Despair' who wants to destroy the world. She spread despair, causing the world to fall into chaos and collapse. Meanwhile, her Monochrome Bears are wreaking havoc everywhere, turning all areas into hell. "
"Wait, if that's the case, doesn't the country care? And the army? Where's the army? Why don't they come out to help? "
Hearing this, Asahina hurriedly asked. Fangzheng shrugged.
"The army is also human, and humans are easily influenced by emotions. As I said before, this is a kind of brainwashing similar to a cult. So, whether it's the army, the police, or other organizations, they're basically done for."
"How could it be …"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, everyone was shocked. However, Fangzheng continued. Since he had already started spoiling, he might as well spoil everything!
Spoilers are fun for a while, and spoilers are always fun!
"Also, do you remember what the Monochrome Bears said at the opening ceremony? You came to this school as the hope of this world. That's the truth. Originally, this school was used as a shelter. I think you've seen it too. The windows are sealed with steel plates, and the doors are completely blocked. From the inside, it does look like a prison, but at the same time, it also has the function of a shelter. The original purpose of building this shelter was to protect the only hope from the despair that ravaged the world. "
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Hearing this, Miao Miao Cheng hurriedly spoke again.
"But, but why don't we have any memories? Shouldn't they tell us about this first? "
"You know, and you came here on a voluntary basis."
"… Huh?!!"
This time, everyone was really shocked.
"Wait, this …"
"According to my observations, your memories seem to have stopped at the time when you first entered Hope Peak Academy, but in fact, you've already spent two years in Hope Peak Academy and personally experienced a desperate situation. In the end, you decided to enter the sanctuary."
Fangzheng spread his hands.
"Don't you think it's strange? Your memories should have stopped at the moment before you entered the school. Then, when you woke up, you found yourself in a corner of the school. What about the process in between? The truth is that you've already entered the sanctuary, but the mastermind behind the scenes broke through the sanctuary's defenses, took control of this place, and then released some kind of gas to erase your memories, which led to this result. "
"I see …"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Celestia narrowed her eyes and revealed a thoughtful expression.
"But what's the point of the mastermind doing this? If everything you said is true, then since the mastermind has breached this place, he can completely kill us. Why would he use such a troublesome method? "
"It's simple. She needs you to cooperate with her performance."
"… Performance?"
"That's right, a drama about humanity's last hope killing each other."
As he spoke, Fangzheng pointed to the camera behind him.
"See those cameras everywhere? The purpose of those cameras isn't for security, but to film. The scene here will be filmed, recorded, and then broadcast to every corner of the world. Those who are still resisting Despair will see how their hope turns into Despair and kill each other. Is there any better drama than this to persuade them to surrender? "
"Wait, does that mean the people outside will also know about our situation? Won't they come to save us?"
"I've said it before. This building is a sanctuary. Since it's a sanctuary, it has complete security facilities. Based on the current situation outside, they can't stop a powerful force from breaching the sanctuary. Even if they come, they will only die in vain. Of course, this is also the mastermind's plan."
Speaking until here, Fangzheng spread his hands.
"Look, first, they tell the world that your seeds of hope are already under the control of Despair. Then, they make them despair when they see you killing each other. Then, if these people come to save you, they can broadcast a video of them torturing and killing the rescuers. They'll make a lot of money. No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation."
"How can that be … Then, then what about our families?"
"I don't know much about your families. I'll only tell you what I know."
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked at everyone. Sensing his gaze, everyone gulped a mouthful of saliva.
"First of all, Miao Miao Cheng. Your sister is still alive. As for your parents, I don't have any information about them."
"Is, is that so …."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Miao Miao Cheng showed an expression that he didn't know whether to feel relieved or worried.
"Then there's Fujiwara. Your father is still alive. As for the others, I don't know. Also, there's Ye Inakambiru. Your mother is still alive. Asahina, your brother is also alive. "
Fangzheng pointed out several people in succession. They were all characters that he still had an impression of in "Absolute Despair Maiden". Logically speaking, nothing should have happened to them.
Finally …
"Mistcutter."
Fangzheng looked at Mistcutter. As if sensing something from his tone, Mistcutter instinctively tensed up.
"I'm sorry about your father."
"…."
"According to the plan, your father – Mistcutter was supposed to be the headmaster, but now the headmaster is Black White Bear. I think … you should understand what I mean."
"…. Is that so …."
Mistcutter was silent for a moment, then lowered his head.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Fangzheng nodded at Mistcutter, then looked at Shikami Byakuya.
"I think you might have guessed it, but I'll tell you. The House of the Ten Gods is finished. That's all I have to say."
"…."
Shikami Byakuya just frowned and did not say anything else. At this moment, the expressions of the others were rather subtle. People like Miyagi Cheng felt a lot more at ease. Although the situation of their families was unknown, at least they knew they were still alive, which was good news.
The others who did not receive any news were a little uneasy, but looking at the depressed Mistcutter and the silent Shikami Byakuya, they felt a little relieved. At least there was still a "possibility" that their families were still alive. After all, Fangzheng was only "not sure". At least he was not declared dead like the two of them ….
In fact, Fangzheng originally wanted to use the "Banners of the Ten Gods" to investigate the status of the relatives of all the members, but this world was too heavily corrupted by Chaos. The "Banners of the Ten Gods" only displayed garbled codes that could not be deciphered.
"So, are there any other questions?"
"Of course."
At this moment, Shikami Byakuya spoke again. He stared at Fangzheng with an inquisitive look in his eyes.
"What you said is really unbelievable. Maybe the Black and White Bear is up to no good, but what evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?"
"If it's evidence, you'll see it when you leave this place. As for a witness, I have one."
As he spoke, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pointed at Toshiko Tokugawa.
"Huh? Me? Me? "
Toshiko Tokugawa was shocked when she sensed everyone's gaze.
"I'm not. I'm the same as you guys. I don't remember anything!"
"That's right, 'you' don't remember anything, but I'm talking about the other you. Let her come out."
"How did you know …."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the expression of the super scholarly girl, Toshiko Tokugawa, changed. But then, as if she had thought of something, she lowered her head helplessly.
"I, I know …. I'll let her come out now. I can't hide it anymore anyway …."
Having said that, Toshiko Tokugawa picked up her ponytail and gently shook it in front of her nose. Then, she sneezed.
"Hahaha!"
"HAHAHAHAHA!!!"
The next moment, along with a shrill laugh, the crazy Toshiko Tokugawa from before appeared again.
"What, what is this …."
"Toshiko Tokugawa suffers from split personality disorder. She is Toshiko Tokugawa's second personality, the super scholarly Man Killer Fiend – Xiang the Exterminator. These two people do not share the same memory, so even if the other party erased Toshiko Tokugawa's memory from the past two years, it doesn't mean they can erase Xiang the Exterminator's memory. If you have any questions, you can ask her. Of course, how many clues you can get from this Man Killer Fiend will depend on yourselves. "
"Woo …."
Looking at Xiang the Exterminator holding a pair of scissors, no one dared to step forward. Moreover, they still remembered some of the reports and records about Xiang the Exterminator …. He was a serial killer!
"I have one more question."
At this moment, Mistcutter Toshiko seemed to have adjusted her state of mind. She looked at Fangzheng again.
"You should know who the mastermind is, right? You said 'her' at the beginning. In other words, do you know who the mastermind is?"
"Of course."
Fangzheng naturally would not refuse this question.
Don't be ridiculous, the best way to spoil a story is to directly point out the culprit.
"The one who caused all this is the super scholarly Despair … … Eshinoshima the Shield."
"… … Huh?"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They hurriedly turned to look at Eshinoshima the Shield. Seeing everyone's gaze, Eshinoshima the Shield froze in place.
"Wait, I, how could I be … … You must be mistaken."
"I'm not mistaken."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"The one who caused this world to fall into the abyss of despair is Eshinoshima the Shield, but you … …"
While saying that, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the girl in front of him.
"You're not Eshinoshima the Shield!"
"Whoosh — —!!"
Just as Fangzheng said that, he saw Enoshima suddenly lower her body and run forward like a cheetah. Following that, she leaped high into the air, and at some point in time, a military dagger appeared in her hand. She stabbed at Fangzheng with all her might. Seeing this scene, many people screamed. Fangzheng put his hands in his pockets and stared coldly at the girl in front of him.
The sharp blade stopped in front of Fangzheng's eyes, unable to stab further. Because at this moment, the Heaven Lock that appeared around Fangzheng's body had tightly bound the girl's body.
"She, she's not Eshinoshima the Shield?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng stretched out his hand, grabbed the girl's hair, and pulled hard. The wig fell off, revealing a section of short hair.
"Her name is Skeleton Warrior. She's Eshinoshima the Shield's elder sister and the person who assisted in this plan. Eshinoshima the Shield hid behind the scenes, while she disguised herself as Eshinoshima the Shield and acted in front of the stage. "
"Wait, why didn't she show up at all?"
Miao Miao Cheng found another blind spot, but Fangzheng just shrugged.
"It's simple. You might suspect someone who doesn't exist, but you won't suspect a dead person. Do you understand what I mean?"
"So what you're saying is …"
At that moment, Wakako Mist seemed to have thought of something.
"The reason Eshinoshima the Shield asked this person named Skeleton Warrior to disguise herself was to kill her so that we would think she was dead and eliminate her completely?"
"That's right."
Fangzheng reached out and patted Skeleton Warrior's pale face. Skeleton Warrior's face was as pale as a sheet. Perhaps she hadn't thought of this, but now that she heard Fangzheng's words … it seemed possible.
"It seems that this sister's brain isn't very good.
She didn't think of this? Forget it, it doesn't matter. But let me give you one last piece of advice. "
Fangzheng turned his head and looked at the people in front of him again.
"What we need to do next is to leave this place. Although this place was originally used as a shelter, it's already been infiltrated by Eshinoshima the Shield, so there's no value in it anymore. We need to find a way to leave together. Of course, this method may take more time, but there's a simpler way, and that is to cooperate with the Black and White Bear and kill one of us. According to the rules, as long as we're not discovered, we can graduate and leave the school … "
The corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile. Seeing the smile on Fangzheng's face, the people in front of him involuntarily swallowed their saliva and showed uneasy expressions.
"If you really want to do that, you can give it a try. Maybe I won't find out."
Sure enough, spoilers are fun for a while, and spoilers are fun for a while!
