[Most King] A Departure Without Love or Reputation—Lie for Truth—

Recap:

What the Momota five who broke into the ganaku saw was the most primitive and horrific punching machine lying in a pool of blood...

?Ge

DAY4 at 8:[-] a.m. Gnaku

In the end, the original died.

In front of everyone's eyes, in Baitian's arms, he took his last breath.

The black and white bear broadcast as evidence rang loudly almost at the same time, completely erasing the last trace of temperature remaining in the morning air.

"The body was found...that is to say, the most original him..."

"..."

Bai Tian, ​​who was holding the most original corpse in his arms, squatted silently, his face was so dark that it was difficult to see his expression clearly.

"is that a lie……"

"W-why did Mohara-kun die here...!"

Shaken, flustered, puzzled, fearful.

As if the answer was revealed without even stating the question, I didn't know how to react at all.

There is really no way to accept, understand, and swallow.

...Except for "her" who was also present.

"It was originally killed by Ouma, that's the only possibility."

"Eh? But, but just now Mohara-kun said..."

"Monokuma is back, and the cannibalism is still going on, which means that the shady Ouma is not dead....Don't you understand?"

Chun Chuan cut off his words severely, and everyone standing there couldn't help but shut their mouths.Unlike others, she was nostalgic or couldn't bear to stare at Yuan Yuan's corpse, but she had spread her attention and murderous intent to the entire Ganaku from just now.

"Compared to this, where did Ouma go?"

Ever since they broke into here, they have only seen the most original figures, and they have not seen anyone who wants to come on stage after a long time.Then maybe Ouma has already left here, and maybe ran to a safe place.

"...compared to this...?"

However, only he will never let go of this sentence.His thick shoulders trembled slightly, and the heat in his throat was like an active volcano before it erupted.

"At the end of the day, he is dead at the end of the day!? Spring rolls, how can you...!?"

"Then what happened?"

"Varied……"

Facing that too cold answer, Bai Tian raised his face and stared at it.However, Chun Chuan in front of his line of sight neither cried nor shed tears, and her will didn't even seem to be affected in the slightest, except for the dark shadow that she was used to seeing on her forehead.

"How many corpses do you think I've seen? Whether it's good or bad, wise or foolish, I've seen so many that I don't feel it."

"Spring rolls you—!"

Seeing that the two were about to clash, the puppet that jumped out from the side slid between them.

"Woo puff, if you want to quarrel, go to the class referee! Teacher, I believe that you are all good students who abide by the school rules!"

"you you!"

"Qiangqiang——! Then I will send you the Black and White Bear file. The fun has just begun. Let's work hard this time!"

Just like its sudden appearance, Monokuma only said a few words and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The atmosphere suddenly became more complicated.

"Uh, uh...…… Shall we continue to search...? Cannibalism or something, should we continue...?!"

Yumeno couldn't help but shivered and crouched down.

"Since there is still a school-level referee, it seems that Wang Majun is really still alive..."

"Then, what's the matter with the blood under the punching machine...? Isn't that the amount that can flow out just from an injury...?"

Facing Bai Yin's question, Chun Chuan immediately made a decision almost without thinking about it.

"Anyway, it's just pulling the old corpses over and flattening them. If you are the mastermind, you can do it."

Just thinking about the specific scene she said a little bit, I can't help but cover my mouth to cover up the nausea.

"..."

Looking at the other people who were completely absent in front of him, Chun Chuan threw the monokuma tablet that Monokuma gave her without mercy on the ground without hesitation.

"The school referee is too stupid. I won't participate in the search. The prisoner is obviously Ouma and there will be no one else. You can stay here if you want. I will go find him and settle it myself."

Taking a last look at Momohara who was placed on the ground, Chun Chuan turned around and was about to leave.

"and many more."

But the next moment, Bai Tian firmly grasped her hand.

"You are my assistant, right, don't go."

"open."

"...I said, what's the matter with you, Spring Roll? I haven't felt right since I woke up this morning. Could it be—"

"I don't recall ever admitting to be your assistant."

Resolutely throwing Momota's hand away, Chun Chuan walked out of the Ganaku without looking back.

"..."

Baitian didn't chase after him, and the hand that was thrown away just stopped in the air until Chunchuan's figure was no longer visible.

For a moment, the tension and uneasiness that flooded everyone was only stirred up more and more.

"Hey, hey... Chunchuan-san really looks a little strange, right? Could it be that she knows something?"

"K-know what...!? Know what it means to say criminal, criminal, criminal...?!"

"Don't guess."

With his back to them, Bai Tian interrupted the speculation about to spread in a low voice.He lowered his head to look at the hand that was thrown away, and finally had to support his waist.

"Even if she knows something, it doesn't matter if she doesn't plan to tell us."

"Then, what should we do...?"

"..."

What should I do?

In front of him was the corpse of his former partner.

What he owns is the monokuma tablet that was sent to him.

After this, there will be a school-level referee to find the criminal.

Even if they do nothing, time will not graciously stop and give them a moment of rest to heal their inner pain.

After all, they were forced to face this too strict and harsh rules from the very beginning, and were forcibly involved in this crazy game that was too unreasonable.

"Since we don't know anything, let's figure it out on our own."

The next moment, the other three people who stayed at the scene looked at Baitian together.

"...If he was still alive, he would probably say something like this. 'In short, investigate first, everything starts with investigation. Use evidence to discover different possibilities, and then clarify the truth at the school grade referee'.... something like that. So rather than looking for that boy Ouma who is hiding somewhere, I think it is necessary to search here first to find out the current situation."

The only weapon left to them is the amount and gap of "information" that can determine their own destiny.

"...I always feel that Momota-kun is calmer than expected."

After all, he was undoubtedly the person who suffered the most here.

"How can I be calm...! But if this continues, there will be no guy who can support everyone on the school-level judges, so I have to...cough, cough cough...!"

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth and bent down. Only then did the others realize that his face was as pale as death.

"Don't be brave...! If you take two more steps, you will be lying here together!"

"..."

"Well, I also feel a little uncomfortable... Could it be the impact of the electron bomb particles?"

"Is there a possibility...? Ki-bo-kun, it's better to go out and rest earlier?"

"Okay, okay..."

In a blink of an eye, there were only three living people left in the huge space, and there were far fewer companions than at the beginning.Just staying in such a place where the crime took place uninterruptedly, the mental oppression is so great that people want to give up everything altogether.

Yumeno pressed the huge magic hat with a bitter face.

"Hey... Do you really want to continue the search and continue to be a school-level referee...? The prisoner is already so clear..."

"Hmm... Is that really the case? If Chunchuan-san knows something inside, maybe there will be a completely different suspect on the scene..."

"Huh!?"

"..."

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Baitian still managed to stand up.

Taking a deep breath of the air full of oily smoke and bloody smell, it really wasn't pleasant at all.

"...In the end, he has been doing things he doesn't want to do all this time. Since that's the case, this time I have to find out who killed him with my own hands."

That may be the last thing Baitian can do for the original, but also for himself.

——To look for the truth, to look for something more important that lies on the other side of the truth.

That's not calm, and it's not insensitivity.

Only by wrapping powerlessness in faith can we open our eyes again without regret.

In this way, the sixth scene search began.

?Hope Searching

(...It's really dead.)

Turning his sights to the most original corpse again, Baiyin secretly sighed in his heart.

(It's just terrible, why on earth did it become like this?)

Ever since the night when Ouma claimed to have taken the seat of the mastermind, everything has gone out of order.

Mohara, who is the protagonist and responsible for IQ, was taken away by Ouma, and the rest fell into a devastation.The luck in the misfortune is that Momota, who is terminally ill, still reluctantly exerts his leadership to bring everyone together. However, now that Mohara is dead, only Chunchuan is left who can still restrain his illness.

(However, there seems to be a gap between Chunchuan-kun and Momota-kun, as expected, everything cannot go smoothly...)

Without expressing the thoughts in his mind on the surface, Baiyin opened the black and white bear file in his hand with Baitian, and the photo consistent with the corpse at the scene instantly appeared on it.

"The victim is the super high school-level detective Suiichi Mohara.

The place where the corpse was found was the Ganaku where the wandering slaughtered monkeys were housed.

The time of death was around 8:[-] am.

There was a small hole on the left arm, and several bloody slender wounds on different parts of the limbs. There were no other obvious traumas, and he vomited blood before his death. 』

"Hole? Slender wound...?"

The information on the file was basically consistent with the information on the corpse in front of him, and the specific cause of death was not specified.

Turning his eyes to the most original again, what appeared in Bai Yin's heart was the emotion of "regret".

(What a pity, such a nice face...)

Of course, this is just one of the reasons.

After all, the entire script design of "Danganronpa V3" is basically a framework work based on the premise that "Mohara Suichi" is the protagonist.Although the talent of "detective" has been used many times in past works, the story of weak human beings growing up in the process of losing their partners is still a well-deserved royal line to this day.

(Ah-ah, obviously I made a lot of preparations to prevent him from being killed...In that case, I had to go to Chunchuan-san's route)

However, for Bai Yinzhu at this time, the most urgent task now is to find out the truth of this incident together with the remaining participants.Due to the effect of the electronic bomb, not all of what happened inside the Gnaku could reach her ears. She still knew about the part where Chun Chuan forced the Wandering Killing Monkey to break into the Gnaku, but after that...

"……Um?"

The fingertips that slid the tablet turned to the next page, and the picture reflected on it was the punching machine that also existed in the Ganaku.

"The identity of the victim is unknown.

The place where the corpse was found was the Ganaku where the wandering slaughtered monkeys were housed.

The victim could not be identified as he was crushed by the punching machine. 』

"...What, what's going on here!? Why are there two Monokuma files!? And it's so perfunctory..."

"Hmm... so Monokuma believes that there are two dead bodies in this hangar...?"

Since Monokuma's AI is not under the control of Baiyin, actions in this area are left to its own judgment.

(But Monokuma doesn't know what's going on with the stamping machine, does he? Are the two files for insurance?)

Even if the actual situation is that there is only one body, an error notification is better than no information at all.

"But we are all still alive... The only ones who died could be Mohara and Ouma... Could it be said that the cannibalism will continue even after the mastermind is dead!?"

"..."

(Although the mastermind is still here)

The questions before them are far ahead of the search content.

If the body was one, how would the blood on the punching machine be explained?Where did Ouma go?Is the culprit really him?

If there were two bodies, the person under the punching machine would be Ouma.Then the problems they need to face and the objects they search will completely change.

"If... it's just that if the person under the punching machine is really Wang Majun, maybe we don't need to investigate..."

"Eh? Why?"

Facing Mengye's question, Baiyin showed a trembling look.

"Didn't there be a similar situation before, that is, when Anji and Chabashira..."

When hearing these two names, Yumeno froze for a moment.But soon she reacted.

"Ah, if two or two cases happen at the same time, the school-level referee will only punish the murderer of the first case..."

Recalling the situation when they broke in, Momohara, who was in the center of the hangar, died before their eyes, so Ouma, who was crushed under the punching machine, would undoubtedly be the first victim.Not to mention the fact that the original himself confessed to killing Ouma before he died.

(Is that a confession for us? The last thing he can do as a super high school detective... something)

Thinking about the growth of the character in his pen, Bai Yin nodded with a vague feeling.

"No, it's still not sure."

After reading all the files, Bai Tian put the tablet on the ground.

"In the final analysis, this is something given by Monokuma. It is possible to fake it here in order to cover up the person who manipulated it? So you have to search both sides.... No, you have to check everything that is suspected."

Perhaps learning the original search method, Bai Tian was the first to approach the original corpse.Looking at his uneasy face, which was covered with tears and blood, Baitian hesitated for a moment, knelt down and began to investigate, frowning.

The source of the constant bleeding on the arm is the circular hole mentioned in the file. In addition, the sporadic slender wounds distributed on the wrist, arm, and calf are all similar techniques.

(If the former was stabbed by something, the latter is more likely to be cut out by a knife or dagger...?)

"This kind of injury can't be a fatal injury... I think maybe Moyuan-kun is because of excessive blood loss..."

"However, in the end he vomited blood, right? Then, compared to trauma, maybe he was poisoned or something..."

"...Speaking of which, when I rushed to Zhongyi's side, he was already exhausted. It wouldn't make sense to say that it was a manifestation of poisoning..."

That's about all there is to investigate.

They only confirmed the information that was basically the same as that in the files, so they might not be able to find anything new if they don't know death examination.

"..."

Taking a last look at the most original appearance, Bai Tian took off the purple coat he was wearing and put it on him.

"Well... In the end, we still didn't have time to apologize to him..."

"...Well. Me too, I didn't have time to thank Mohara-kun..."

"..."

Thinking about it now, the spirit and determination when we gathered in the dormitory to defeat Ouma seemed to have been left over from the last century.

Fresh life will disappear in an instant. They have experienced it too many times so far, but they have never been able to get used to it.

"...Let's go."

Silently bid farewell to Mohara in their hearts, and the three of them turned to the stamping machine that was beyond recognition.

"Blood... it should be real..."

At a glance, it can be seen that it is not paint, but real blood that exudes a faint rusty smell.Among them, only an extremely strange pure white belt became more conspicuous because of this, if you just accept what you see in front of you...

"That guy Ouma is right under here..."

There are about 60 liters of blood in a 4 kg human body, and at least less than 3 liters if converted into Ouma.Assuming that all the 3 liters of blood were forcibly squeezed, extracted, and splashed around by the steel machine, it would explode like a big water polo, leaving only the pure novelty art paintings abruptly placed on the ground. In front of everyone's eyes.

Among them, what will the body of a person who has lost blood and been crushed look like?

"...I have no choice but to take a look at what it looks like inside."

Whether it's the real Ouma himself or the former corpse, you can't know the truth without opening the cat box.

However, their attempts ended in vain. The wires of the punching machine had been cut for some reason. From the traces, the blade was largely used.

Someone who used to be in this gantry intentionally didn't want people who broke in later to know who was lying under the punching machine.

"..."

(Are you trying to use the method of "unidentified victim"?... Then what is going on with Momohara-kun?)

The "unknown victim" in the closed room will largely progress to the situation of "unknown prisoner".Not to mention that before everyone broke in here this morning, there were only the two of them in this Ganakuri.Then at the moment when Yuan was witnessed by others, the plan had a flaw.

(Both losers? Didn't have time to arrange it? If this is the case, it would be a bit of a disappointment...)

For fratricidal masterminds, silver's purpose has always been to make the game more interesting.

Therefore, when Wang Ma took away the identity of the mastermind, she was not in a hurry to regain control, but almost perfectly cooperated with him to interpret an "ordinary person" who lost hope of survival.

If she wanted to find out who was under the punching machine, "as the mastermind", she had countless methods of confirmation, such as forcing the wandering killing monkey to lift it up, or connecting a spare power cord.

(However, super high school-level cosplayer Shirogane Tsumugi can't do this... well, wouldn't it be boring to make the audience think about two possibilities at the same time?)

Unable to investigate the punching machine further, they turned their attention to other places in the hangar.

On the way to Ganaku, they confirmed that there are only two yellow and blue killing monkeys left around the black and white bears (not running), and there are also two killing monkeys in this Ganaku, one of which is red It was stored in the designated location, the other green one was in the open space, the cockpit door was also open, and the remaining pink one was missing.

A certain amount of blood was splashed in the central open space of the Ganaku centered on the original corpse, and those blood stains merged with the blood overflowing from the punching machine, and finally a shallow trace leading to the toilet was faintly formed.In the toilet, on the originally clean floor were assembled crossbows, three blood-stained arrows, an empty bottle with only the word "poison" left, and blood stains leading to the door. Momota, who was not quite right, took out a drenched Ouma's top from inside, and after unfolding it, he found a small hole and bloodstains on the back and right arm.

There must have been some struggle in the toilet, but what exactly is still confusing.In short, after coming out of the toilet, Baitian planned to go to the stamping machine to have a look, but accidentally kicked something by his feet.

"Ok?"

I squatted down and realized that they were two crossbow arrows. Unlike the three arrows in the toilet, their tips were not stained with blood. Instead, they seemed to be covered with a solid transparent material, making it impossible to touch them. of the edge.One of them seems to have some black traces on the transparent thing.

"What the hell is this..."

"Everyone! Please come and gather here!"

The sudden sound came from the vicinity of the Wandering Killing Monkey, and KI-BO, who had returned to the Ganaku at some point, was waving to them.

"what's wrong?"

"Look at this, I picked it up at the foot of the Killing Monkey!"

"Ok?"

What was handed to him was a thick book with a red cover. Bai Tian took it and flipped through a few pages, then widened his eyes.

"This, this, what is this...!"

Recorded in it are countless dialogues, no, it is more like a pre-written script than a dialogue.

The people involved include everyone who is being searched here at this time, even the missing and dead.

"The original "Everyone listen to me, I am not dead...!"

Yumeno, "So, did you really kill Ouma...? 』

Switch station and voice line

Ouma "I lied to you——!"As the mastermind, how could I be killed by Mo Yuan-chan—! 』”

"Huh?! This is, this is...!?"

"Could it be that this was written by Wang Majun...? To deceive us by pretending to be Mo Yuan-kun...?"

"But, but Mohara-kun is undoubtedly dead, so this kind of script is meaningless now, right?"

If they had found this script two days ago when Momo was imprisoned by Ouma, Momota and the others could still regard it as something that Ouma wrote down to trick them and make them take it lightly.But now that it is confirmed that Mohara is dead, no matter how you think about it, this kind of dialogue is impossible.

"In the end, it's impossible to do anything with that guy Ouma in the end. Maybe Ouma deliberately left this book here to disturb us."

"Hmm...?? Such a thick thing, is it really just here to confuse us...?"

"Although the possibility is very low, it seems very unnatural for such a product of painstaking efforts to be left here..."

(If you think about it from another angle, the fact that this book is thrown here means that it has lost its use value...? But no matter how you look at it, this is a pre-judgment of the "school-level referee". Could it be that during this period Is there something that even Wang Ma-kun didn't expect?)

Leaving Mengye and the others to continue to read the red book, Baiyin said that he wanted to see the surrounding situation and walked out of the Ganaku alone.

The crossbow placed in the toilet was taken from the classroom of "Super High School Level Assassin". As for the medicine bottle that was blurred with blood so that only the word "poison" could be seen clearly, according to Baiyin's memory, it should be from "Super High School Level Assassin". The antidote brought out in the classroom of Super High School Level Detective.

(I don’t know if such a lucky thing really happened...)

The alarm devices and electronic barriers around the gate of Ganaku still show no sign of recovery until now, and the control screens on both sides have not been forcibly manipulated, so they went around to the open space where the killing monkey was, and lost control. The two Killing Monkeys still stopped there.

"Oh my god, I have suffered a lot these two days!"

Obviously no one called it, but it jumped out on its own. Baiyin didn't feel much emotion when he saw the elusive monochrome bear.

"Is it because you are too lax? You have been stuck here for so long, and I have received a lot of complaint calls from the audience!"

"How can a cute and charming mascot use violence? Even if something big happens, laughing and fooling around is the essence of this job—! Speaking of which, what is that thing going to do?"

Monokuma glanced at an electric hammer in the corner, the hammer that had lost all power could no longer pose any threat to it.

"Let's put it here, you can't fiddle with important evidence without authorization."

"Whoa, what you say is really unconvincing!"

?REAL/FICTION

Shortly after that, the announcement announcing the end of the search time sounded again.

According to the threat of Monokuma, students who do not come to participate in the grade judgment will be directly sentenced to death.

However, when the five surviving people came to the Judgment's Shrine, there was no sign of Ouma there.

"He must have gone down first, hypocritically waiting for us to see his arrogant look."

The same as before the search started, Chun Chuan still turned all his hostility towards Ouma without wavering.It seems that she did not find Ouma during the search and ended up coming here directly.

"That's not necessarily true, in the end he..."

"Do you really think that you can kill Ouma just with Mohara?"

"No, spring rolls, you—"

"Momota, you are exactly the same as the referee Jiyuan. What can you do by relying on trust and intuition? I don't want to compete with you who have lost your cool."

This keyword obviously hurt Bai Tian, ​​but before he had time to react to it, Chun Chuan had already walked towards the elevator with him on his back.

"..."

"Bai, Baitian, don't worry too much about the spring rolls, she must still be in a mess after so many things happened..."

"...I hope so."

Sighing, Bai Tian also walked in the direction of the elevator.

Just when Mengye was about to follow, Baiyin at the side quietly stopped her.

"Hey Mengye-san, do you think Chunchuan-san is actually suspicious of Momota-kun...?"

The muffled voice can only be heard by two people.

"Hey, what did you say...?"

Reluctantly not to yell out loudly, Yumeno covered her mouth as if she was looking for an excuse and began to read.

"How is this possible, Chunjuan is to Baitian—"

"However, Moehara Junlin said before his death that he killed Wang Majun himself...? Although we all think that is a confession, what if it is a 'lie' to protect someone..."

If a super high school-level detective who pursues the truth wants to protect someone with his life at a critical moment, that person can only be one person.

Realizing what Baiyin wanted to say, Yumeno's forehead turned blue.

"Hey, what happened in Ganakuri before we broke in..."

"..."

(Yeah, what the hell happened?)

Not only the existing people, but even the real mastermind behind the case cannot fully understand the truth of the case.

Only the prisoner, the victim, and the possible "accomplices" who do not tell the truth know the truth.

From the very beginning, this case may have been aimed at Baiyin, Monokuma, and Danganlunpo.

For some reason, she thought lightly of this possibility and finally walked into the elevator.

?New World Order V3

After that came the fall, the fifth fall, a fall that was as silent as it was noisy.

With different ideas and determinations in their hearts, they once again went to the tribunal to decide their fate.

It was one person who became the victim, or maybe two people.

Whether the person who committed the crime was one person or two.

Everything seemed so inexplicable, without any sense of reality.

Even the last words of the victim are hard to believe.

(But, that's the fun part, isn't it!?)

In order to find out everything, everyone must fight to the end.

To doubt and believe in yourself, or your companions who once believed in you.

To believe in the companions who have betrayed themselves, or are about to betray themselves.

Just to let the "only me" linger on, continue to climb and survive...

——Ah, come on!It's opening again!

This is the Zhigao celebration that everyone is looking forward to!

For the pride, stubbornness, and even frivolous extravagance that cannot be compromised,

Use everything to prove that only you are the most unbreakable justice in the world!

——In this grade referee where hope and despair, lies and truth are intertwined.
