It must be said that the other party has some methods for understanding the weaknesses of human psychology.
However, if everyone receives similar videos, then each of them would have a motive to kill.
However, to be precise, it wasn't a motive for murder, but rather a motive for graduation.
Although these two points seem to make no difference now, since you need to kill someone to graduate.
However, upon closer examination, there are still significant differences between these two points.
Understanding the differences can greatly help in reconstructing the entire case.
Although the video gave people the idea of wanting to get out of there quickly, Kanzaki Teru did not believe that such an idea alone could drive someone to commit murder.
There must be deeper reasons behind this, and...
"Maybe it's an illusion."
As he took the video disc about Maizono Sayaka out of the player, Kanzaki Teru muttered to himself...
Although Monokuma claimed on the surface that he gave them a motive to kill, Kanzaki Teru always felt that the video had other purposes.
It's strange that they chose this method instead of other means to make these people kill each other.
Rather than aiming to make them kill each other, the other party seems to want to enjoy the process.
After all, one of the rules actually imposes a restriction.
Each person is only allowed to kill two people at a time.
This rule is clearly intended to prevent physically strong people from killing everyone, but it was originally meant to encourage them to kill each other.
However, there are now regulations that restrict infighting, which seems contradictory.
However, the truth is usually hidden in these contradictions, although Kanzaki Teru cannot see the truth yet.
However, he already had a general idea in mind; he only needed to collect all the necessary puzzle pieces to successfully solve the case.
"Check out my own 5.1 video."
Although there were only about fifteen minutes left, Kanzaki Teru showed no sign of being in a hurry.
He has found almost all the clues regarding Sayaka Maizono's case, and he has already sent Kyoko Kirigiri to collect the remaining piece of the puzzle.
Although she had lost her memory, Kanzaki Teru still saw from her behavior that Kirigiri Kyoko had not lost her basic qualities as a detective.
Moreover, it's just asking someone a simple question, something anyone can do well.
Of course, it's also possible that Kyoko Kirigiri herself is the murderer in this case.
Chapter 332: Anomaly
If Kyoko Kirigiri is indeed the murderer, then she would likely not have been so careless in gathering information. However, if she failed to gather any useful information, then she would be admitting to being the murderer without being asked.
If the other party is really that stupid, then Kanzaki Teru is actually relieved.
So no matter what, Kanzaki Teru will be able to reach the final truth.
Therefore, the most important thing right now is to take a look at the disc in your hand; it might contain some important clues.
With that in mind, Kanzaki Teru no longer hesitated and directly put the CD with his name on it into the player.
The familiar music started playing again; it was the same music that had just appeared in Sayaka Maizono's video.
[If you have no past, go and search for the truth of the world.]
There wasn't even a single word; only this one line of text appeared on the screen.
"It seems I'm participating in this 23 game as a [player]."
Although it differed from what Kanzaki Teru had anticipated, this can still be considered a clue.
In detective games like this, players are usually left until the very end, or they are eliminated in the later stages of the game.
Of course, this is only under the "general" circumstances.
Since this illusion is meant to trap me, it's very likely that those conditions no longer exist.
After all, there can only be one detective in a detective novel.
However, the current situation is that besides Kanzaki Teru, there is another real detective.
Doesn't this already violate the rules of fiction...?
Kanzaki Teru seemed to suddenly remember something, and his body froze on the spot.
"What if... Kyoko Kirigiri is also a [player]?"
Thinking of this possibility, Kanzaki Teru suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
When he entered this world, the events unfolding before him left him no time to consider these issues.
After all, Kanzaki Teru believed that he had already defeated all the members of the opposing organization, so he did not think about such things.
However, if the opponent has a trump card up their sleeve, then that might be their winning strategy.
Although he had considered this possibility, Kanzaki Teru did not show it openly.
After all, if this is the truth, then Kyoko Kirigiri might be the mastermind behind it all.
If that's the case, then Kanzaki Teru's path to the truth will face even more difficulties.
Moreover, the other party's goal is to trap him in this space, and they might even break the rules.
Furthermore, Kanzaki Teru doesn't know why he can't use his abilities in this space. If the other party still has special abilities, that would be a problem.
Kanzaki Teru doesn't think he'll lose to ordinary ability users, but if he encounters someone with abnormal abilities, the outcome is hard to predict.
The worst-case scenario... is that Kanzaki Teru will have to unleash his final power.
However, it seems that the other party has no intention of activating their abilities, at least for now.
However, it's also possible that he lacks the ability to do so, but Kanzaki Teru still prepared for the worst.
In this school where everything is under surveillance, the other party can freely observe any changes in oneself.
However, they had no means to retaliate, even though they could try to hide in blind spots of the surveillance cameras.
However, the number of surveillance cameras at this school was so unusual that there were almost no blind spots, making it difficult for him to remain completely undetected.
The enemy is in the shadows, while Kanzaki Teru is in the open; there couldn't be a worse situation.
However, thinking about this made Kanzaki Teru feel somewhat restless.
Long-dormant emotions burst forth at this moment. Although I couldn't quite put my finger on what these emotions were, they were definitely not bad feelings.
That being said, it is true that Kanzaki Teru overlooked this point 817.
While regretting his carelessness, Kanzaki Teru tried to figure out how to solve this predicament.
After all, as soon as he entered this place, he arrogantly assumed that all these people were virtual, and even shamelessly told others not to easily believe everything they saw.
But then I made the same mistake myself; that's just how humans are.
They can only see the mistakes of others, but turn a blind eye to their own problems.
This is not just arrogance, but a sin, a sin against instinct.
"We won't get any more clues here, let's go check other places."
Kanzaki Teru was about to eject the disc and see if he could gather any other clues.
At that moment, a slightly jarring electrical noise was heard. Focusing his attention on the sound, Kanzaki Teru realized that the unsettling noise was coming from the screen.
Chapter 333: A Chaotic Memory
At that moment, the screen suddenly seemed to be infected by a virus, with strange code popping up continuously.
Then, a loud "bang" was heard, the screen went completely black, and everything returned to calm.
Just as Kanzaki Teru was wondering what had just happened, the screen suddenly lit up again without any warning.
However, this time Kanzaki Teru clearly knew that this was not prepared by Monokuma.
At that moment, Xiao Hei suddenly emerged from the wall in front of him.
If this were a scene from a horror movie, it would definitely be terrifying enough.
Unfortunately, the lights in the screening room were all on, so there was absolutely no scary atmosphere.
What do you want me to see?
Faced with Kanzaki Teru's questioning, Kuro remained silent, simply standing quietly in front of him.
Thinking back to the fact that no one else had seen Xiao Hei's presence at the beginning, if the other party was still monitoring him, then what they saw must have been him talking to himself.
The thought that if the other party saw this strange scene, it might further increase their vigilance.
After all, some people's ability is to create a doll that only they can see, so Kanzaki Teru doesn't want to arouse unnecessary suspicion in the other party.
However, this might confuse the other party's judgment, but overall it is more harmful than beneficial, so Kanzaki Teru no longer pays attention to Kuro.
He simply sat back down on the stool and watched the video playing on the screen.
However, the content of the video was quite strange, as it seemed to be his own past story.
It's still me as a child, the scene is still familiar, but it's still a scene that doesn't exist in Kanzaki Hikaru's memory.
As a child, Kanzaki Teru seemed to be waiting for something, but he never met the person he wanted to wait for.
The scene on the screen changed again in the next moment, and this time, young Kanzaki Teru appeared in the hospital.
His entire body was wrapped in bandages, as if he had suffered a very serious injury.
Beside him was a little girl who looked about the same age as he had been when he was a child. Kanzaki Teru still had some recollection of this girl.
Because in the memory that Xiao Hei showed him last time, this little girl seemed to have a very good relationship with his past self.
However, in Kanzaki Teru's memory, this person was never mentioned when he was a child.
"What exactly is this sense of incongruity in my memory...?"
If it's a completely false memory, then it's fine; Kanzaki Teru can just ignore it.
But a voice deep within his heart seemed to be telling him something, and Kanzaki Teru felt a vague sense of familiarity when he saw this scene.
It was as if something was being suppressed within my body, something that was about to touch, but always just millimeters away.
This gave Kanzaki Teru 89 kinds of 39644 feelings of being scratched by a hundred claws.
