After that, Fangzheng smashed all the cameras. At the same time, he gave some of his opinions to the students who were still confused.
"You can think of this place as a large program library. Everything runs according to a set program. Haven't you thought that if the Monochrome Bear really wanted you to feel despair, why would it use such a troublesome method? In my opinion, it should just send a few dozen Monochrome Bears, tie you up, and perform the Ten Great Punishments of the Qing Dynasty one after another.
"Ugh …"
Although they did not know what the "Ten Great Punishments of the Qing Dynasty" that Fangzheng mentioned were, they could not help but tremble when they heard this. Indeed, according to Fangzheng's explanation, the Monochrome Bear had plenty of ways to make them feel even more despair. Why did it have to use such a time-consuming and laborious method?
"The reason is simple."
Fangzheng smashed another camera and explained to the group of people behind him.
"It can't do it. I think you all know that when the Monochrome Bear appeared in front of you, it introduced itself as the headmaster. Simply put, since it has obtained the position of headmaster, it has the rights and obligations of a headmaster. It's a kind of compulsory and fixed rights and obligations. If it wants to control the whole school and all of you, it has to do this. Otherwise, everything it does will have no effect on you. "
Fangzheng paused for a moment, then pointed at the crowd.
"You are the 'students' of this school. A student's obligation is to abide by the school's rules. At the same time, if you break the rules, you will be punished."
"I see."
Misty Echo seemed to understand something as he nodded silently.
"I was wondering why the Monochrome Bear would make such a strange request. Killing is clearly against the rules, but it insisted on making such a rule. Generally speaking, if we want to kill each other, the existence of such rules will only get in the way. "
"That's right, because only those who break the rules will be punished. If it sets killing as a rule, then you won't break the rules, and it won't be able to do anything to you. Besides … this is also related to the principle of equivalent exchange."
"Equivalent exchange?"
"Yes, the school is a small society, and the rules and regulations of a society are relative. You see, usually, a life for a life, so if you commit a crime like petty theft or sabotage of public service, it's very difficult to be executed. However, killing someone was different. No matter how many reasons you had, it had always been a matter of course since ancient times. That was why the Black-White Bear specifically stated that it was' killing someone 'and nothing else. Because only then can it use this as a reason to execute and kill all of you. But if you have committed other crimes, then it will be difficult to determine the boundaries of the punishment. "
Having said that, Fangzheng spread out his hands.
"You see, let's say I stole a fat dog. You can't use that as an excuse to execute me, right?"
"Uh …"
Hearing this inexplicable metaphor, the faces of the people behind him revealed complicated expressions.
Although they wouldn't be executed immediately, if they were discovered, it would definitely be a social death.
"But … didn't the Monochrome Bear want to kill you before? Maybe it's going to send those … .androids to kill us now? "
The curious Miao Miao Cheng was obviously a little uneasy. As he spoke, he subconsciously looked around, fearing that a large Monochrome Bear like the one from before would emerge from a corner and tear him to pieces.
"That's because my attributes are different from yours."
"Attributes?"
"That's right, you're students, but what about me? Simply put, I'm a delinquent from another school who came to the school to cause trouble. You see, if you see a delinquent from another school causing trouble in the school, the principal of this school naturally has the obligation and right to expel him. But you're students of this school. If you want to 'withdraw', there must be a reasonable reason. "
At this point, Fangzheng turned around the corner. Another camera was right in front of him.
"That's why the Monochrome Bear can attack me, but it can't attack you. If it directly attacks you, the principal will be disqualified, and his control over the building will be instantly removed. As for me … .hehehe, it wants to kill me, but …. "
Before his voice trailed off, Fangzheng raised his greatsword and swung it forward with all his might. With a loud bang, the camera in front of him was instantly shattered into pieces.
"It can't beat me. Look, a principal of a school can only watch helplessly as a delinquent from another school smashes and loots in his own school. He can only bite his handkerchief and cry in secret. Isn't that tragic?"
"….."
Now that he put it that way, it did sound pretty tragic.
"Also, I have one last thing to say."
Fangzheng lowered his voice and stared at the crowd.
"Like I said, this sealed world we're in right now is the embodiment of the rules. As an outsider, I don't care, but if you break the rules and get punished, I can't help you, especially if you want to kill someone. Especially if someone has the intention to kill. If you kill someone and get caught, I won't come and save you. After all, just like how I can't force my way through the iron gate here, if I forcibly interfere with the operation of the rules here, it will also lead to destruction. "
"Do you think we'll believe such nonsense?"
At that moment, Togami Byakuya, who had been silent all this while, spoke again. Fangzheng glanced at him indifferently and shrugged.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. That's all I have to say. If you want to die, that's your freedom, but remember, you've made a choice, so you have to bear the consequences."
"Although you say you're an outsider, aren't you trapped here just like us?"
Togami Byakuya was obviously not intimidated by Fangzheng. On the contrary, he pushed up his glasses and stepped forward to look at Fangzheng.
"What if it's not someone else but you who killed someone? You're a magician, so you know how to use those strange spells. If it's you, even if we were killed for no reason, we wouldn't be able to identify you. "
"That's why I said you're stupid."
Fangzheng chuckled.
"Do you know what the highest level of assassination is? That is, as long as you kill all the witnesses, there will be no witnesses left. "
With that said, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and swept the crowd in front of him.
"That is to say, if I kill all of you now, no one will know how you died, and you won't be able to leave any information behind. Maybe in a few decades, someone will find your remains and guess what they found here.... Of course, that is if the civilization on this planet hasn't gone extinct by then."
"…"
Everyone tensed up instinctively and stared at Fangzheng anxiously. Just as Fangzheng had said, as long as they were all killed, it wouldn't matter if there were witnesses or not. Because as long as Fangzheng was the only one left, the existence of witnesses would be gone.
"Don't worry, I won't do it. Like I said before, I'm an outsider here. The rules here are useless to me. On the other hand, I can't use the rules here. Since the Black and White Bear has clearly stated that only a student who kills someone without being discovered can successfully leave, an outsider like me definitely doesn't have the right to take the exam. So, I can only follow you guys and see if you can leave. At least I'll be able to get a seat. "
"What if we can't get out?"
Miao Miaocheng asked again. Fangzheng shrugged.
"Then we can't get out. There are mountains, water, flowers, grass, food, shelter, and beautiful women here. It's much better than the nuclear apocalypse outside. What's there to be unhappy about?"
Everyone was completely speechless at Fangzheng's nonchalant answer.
After getting rid of all the cameras on the first floor, Fangzheng bade farewell and went to the classroom. He was the only one there without a student ID, so he naturally had no way of entering the rooms that required a key to open. Furthermore, there were only fifteen rooms here. There were no more, unless some idiot was crazy enough to kill someone and get himself executed. But Fangzheng probably wouldn't be willing to stay in a room with a dead person.
"Phew …."
Lying in the dark classroom, Fangzheng was quite free. He simply put the table together to form a bed, then spread it on a mattress and slept comfortably.
But … … this world, what is it trying to test me on?
Although it was an examination, the system didn't provide any questions. Everything Fangzheng had done up until now was based on his own memory and judgment.
By the way, Fangzheng knew that the bullet theory had an IF line, which could be used to get an escape device from the toy capsule machine. However, when Fangzheng went to the store to take a look, there was no toy capsule machine there. From this, it could be seen that the IF line was just an IF line. This world obviously wouldn't give you such a good thing.
But to Fangzheng, it wasn't something worth paying special attention to.
The reason why the original protagonists wanted to escape was because they knew nothing about the outside world. But now that Fangzheng had clearly explained the situation to them, Fangzheng wasn't worried about whether they would believe him or not. Although he didn't know what the Monochrome Bear used to erase their memories, the effect of the drug had a time limit. Otherwise, the Monochrome Bear wouldn't be in such a hurry to specifically arrange a motive to kill them. It would not be too late to wait for them to break down after they couldn't stand the torture of time.
In fact, in the middle and late stages of the game, as the effect of the drug wore off, some people had more or less regained some of their memories. From this, it could be seen that the memory manipulation in this world was really unreliable. If it was the Bee Eating Curse, you would completely forget everything with a snap of your fingers, and you could even transplant a whole new memory into it.
As for whether someone would seek death or not, Fangzheng didn't care. He didn't think everyone would believe him. This world was strange to begin with, and many people in this group were weak-willed and brain-dead. Take that biker Yamada for example. His motive for killing Fujirou in the game was simply speechless.
Fujirou wasn't even afraid of exposing his identity as a cross-dresser, but as a man, he was actually so hesitant to expose the dark history of his big brother sacrificing himself to save him? So what if it was exposed? Wouldn't it be a beautiful story?
You killed people because of this? You must be crazy.
At the beginning of the game, Sayaka Dancer and Kuwata Lian 'o's motives for killing people were understandable. Sayaka Dancer was the first … After all, someone had to be the first to take advantage of her. At that time, her desire to leave this place was greater than anything else, so it wasn't unimaginable for her to want to kill someone.
As for Kuwata Lian 'o, after being attacked by Sayaka Dancer, he suddenly thought that since the other party could kill him, he could also kill her. It was justifiable self-defense, and killing people wasn't against his conscience, right? So he counterattacked and also tried to escape this place. Unfortunately, he failed in the end and was sent to the execution platform with a baseball bat.
However, Yamada and Celestia's motives for killing people were nonsensical. Just like what Fangzheng said, Yamada was probably out of his mind. As for what Celestia said about wanting to go out and live a luxurious life because she had her eyes on the Monochrome Bear's 10 billion yen, it was probably just a pretense. Perhaps only the thought of wanting to go out was genuine.
In fact, judging from what Celestia said to Kouko before the execution, she might have more or less guessed that the situation outside wasn't what she wanted, which was why she said "Is that really hope? I don't think so". I don't think so. "Perhaps Celestia knew that the outside world wasn't all that great, and staying here to endure the torment of death wasn't what she wanted either. So as a 'super gambler', she took a gamble.
If she won, she could go out by herself. If she lost, she wouldn't have to stay here to wait for death. No matter what, it was a relief.
But why didn't you think about it, Celestia? Although there were winners and losers on the gambling table, the banker would always take all.
Knock, knock, knock.
However, at this moment, someone knocked on the door. Fangzheng looked up and saw a young lady in a gothic dress with a black diamond head and bright red eyes walking in with a smile.
"Excuse me, may I trouble you for a moment?"
… Speak of the devil, and he will appear.
"Of course."
Fangzheng looked at Celestia and nodded.
