Before it was time to go back to the room at night, Shizuka Hiratsuka found Hikigaya Hachiman and gave him the motives collected today.

"SwordArtOnline", "Bunny Girl-senpai and I".

The first book tells the story of a group of people trapped in a death game, and it is difficult to match up with a specific person for a while.

The second book should be Mai Sakurajima's motivation, right?The hero who saved her died trying to save another girl, and then...

Flipping back, it was, as expected, blank.

This, leave it to Sakurajima-san tomorrow.

Hikigaya Hachiman returned to his room and waited for the night to come.

-

"Witch, please act."

Hikigaya Hachiman opened his eyes, took out the remaining bottle of poison from the table, and walked out of the room without hesitation.

Stepping into the corridor, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, the sound disappeared, even the footsteps disappeared in the soft carpet, and only the faint fragrance of the air freshener wafted in the air.

The doors still had openings, quietly waiting for Hikigaya Hachiman's choice.

After using the resuscitation medicine, I couldn't see who the dead person was at night.So if I used up all the potions, wouldn't I not even be able to wake up at night?

Hikigu Hachiman thought for a while, and chose to ask Monokuma the answer directly: "Monokuma, are you there?"

"What are you doing, classmate Biqikui?"

The voice of Monokuma sounded from the top of his head, and Hikigaya Hachiman looked up, and found that Monokuma was sticking to the ceiling of the corridor. Seeing that Hikigaya Hachiman found himself, he let go of his claws and jumped down.

"Why are you lying on the ceiling..." Hikigu Hachiman was a little speechless, but he still didn't forget his business: "Forget it. I want to ask you, if I use up the last bottle of poison , can I still act at night?"

"Without the potion, there is no point for you to act at night." Monokuma tilted his head: "It is better to have a good sleep. I will ensure the quality of your sleep. If you can't sleep alone, I We can also provide you with a friendly life-size Monokuma maid to accompany you to bed, huh~"

In other words, after using the last bottle of potion, you can no longer act...

Ignoring Monokuma's daily nonsense, Hikigu Hachiman thought for a while, then set off directly and walked downstairs.

"Oh, it seems that you have made up your mind, Hikigaya." Looking at Hikigaya Hachiman walking towards the stairs, Monokuma suddenly laughed happily: "Have you finally decided to poison someone? I say it should have been long ago. That’s it, after all, as a witch, since you have poison, you have to use it~”

"Look at you, if you had used poison instead of the potion of silence yesterday, Makoto Sapling would have been killed by you long ago." Monokuma excitedly followed Hikigaya Hachiman: "If that's the case, Shinomiya-san and the others Three heads won't be bombed tomorrow."

"You can also use the silence potion on Mao Lilan tonight, and then force her out tomorrow when she has no way to speak out - don't you doubt her~"

Monokuma kept chirping in his ears, but Hikigu Hachiman ignored it from beginning to end, and walked forward in silence.

Hikigaya Hachiman passed by the second floor, and Monokuma immediately pointed to a door happily: "Do you want to poison Mr. Ito to death? After all, many people want him to die. It's good that you help them realize their dreams."

"Ah, you actually came to the first floor? Are you trying to poison Miss Mao Lilan to death?! I like it!" Black and white bear jumped up: "That's it, since you doubt her, then just make her unable to drive again Mouth. I like your style very much!"

"Or are you going to kill Shinomiya-san? I think it's okay. She dared to look at you with that cold look this morning. It's impossible not to come back with revenge."

"Come on, let me see if Biqiku, a witch, is going to kill him, huh, huh, huh, huh~~!"

However, Hikigu Hachiman didn't do anything, but continued to pass by all the rooms on the first floor, all the way to the gate of the dormitory building.

The door of the dormitory is always open during the day, and only closed at night. These two huge doors look very heavy, and most people probably wouldn't even think of trying to push them open.

But when Hikigaya Hachiman pressed his hands on the door, he felt that he didn't use much force, so he easily pushed the door open.

The Wolf Village at night is pitch black.

Hikigu Hachiman looked up at the sky, above the night sky, there was still a corner of the full moon missing.

Chapter 39 The conjecture of the brain in a vat

"Monokuma, do you have a flashlight?"

Hikigaya Hachiman turned to look at Monokuma who finally closed his chattering mouth.At the moment it is standing by the door with drooping ears and dejected head.

"Looking at your actions so swiftly and resolutely, people thought you were finally going to kill someone, it made them happy for nothing..."

"I don't want to kill anyone."

Hikigu Hachiman said calmly.

Unlike voting during discussions, using poison is to kill someone based entirely on one's own subjective inference.

Open the bottle of poison and pour it into the opening of the door, and tomorrow you will see a dead body in this room.

Although it was very unpleasant, Hikigu Hachiman admitted that he was afraid, he didn't want to kill people, and he didn't want his hands to be stained with blood.

Some people might laugh at him. When he voted for Makoto Naegi, he was already involved in the murder.But, at least then he'd be able to find some excuse for himself.

Using poison on someone is completely indisputable.

What's more, to put it coldly, the dead so far have nothing to do with him. Although the stranger's hissing made him feel a lot, it didn't make him have a deep hatred for werewolves.

Only people who have been killed by important people like Mao Lilan will live forever with werewolves.

But the ridiculous thing is that in the eyes of Hikigu Hachiman, Mao Lilan is a werewolf...

Hikigaya Hachiman silently took the flashlight that Monokuma handed him, and walked towards the auditorium.

In that diary, although many of the words were crazy, they were barely comprehensible than Kigu Hachiman.

Only the sentence written on the first page'Do you believe in the night of the full moon? 'Let him scratch his head, thinking about it can only be because in the legend werewolves always appear on the night of the full moon.

When he couldn't find any clues about the auditorium during the day, Hikigu Hachiman suddenly thought that this sentence might also be a hint.

What cannot be found during the day can be found at night.

So he chose to make an attempt, leaving the dormitory during the night's operation time and heading to the auditorium to find clues.

Originally, Hikigu Hachiman was ready to fail, but he didn't expect to succeed so easily.

Sure enough, the exploration at night is also a part of this game, and it is an exploration that only werewolves and guardians can carry out...

"You'd better hurry up. The witch's movement time is limited. If you don't return to your room after the movement time, something terrible will happen, huh, huh, huh, huh~~"

He left a reminder to Hikigaya Hachiman, and after Monokuma threw him a pocket watch, he left with a strange smile.

"...inverted?"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the pocket watch and found that its time pointed to twelve thirty, and the second hand was still turning counterclockwise.

In other words, is the time only three 10 minutes?

Hikigu Hachiman had no choice but to speed up and rush to the auditorium.

-

Bet right.

The moment he saw the murals painted all over the outer wall of the auditorium under the moonlight, Hikiya Hachiman finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he thought, the clues here in the auditorium can only be obtained at night!

Hikigu Hachiman stepped forward quickly and checked the content on the murals in the auditorium.

Hikigu Hachiman came to the left side of the auditorium first. These murals are very huge. Even though the outer wall on the left side of the auditorium is already very wide, it can barely accommodate two murals.

A crescent moon is painted on the top of the first mural. There are many people living in the mural, and it looks happy and peaceful.

There is a first-quarter moon hanging on the second mural. Many people in the mural fell down, and the people next to them were panicked and didn't know what happened.

Hiki Valley Hachiman turned to the right side of the auditorium, where there are also these two murals.

Above a mural depicting a last quarter moon, a group of people are debating among themselves, and those who lose the debate are hanged with a rope.And there are several werewolves in the crowd, and they will kill humans at night.

Another mural has a waning moon. In the mural, the werewolves killed all the human beings and bowed down to a huge golden figure, and this huge golden figure bestowed countless gold and silver treasures to the werewolves.

"..."

The latter two murals of the last quarter moon and the waning moon undoubtedly depict the situation that I and others are currently encountering.

They were caught together and divided into werewolves and humans. Humans hanged werewolves during the day, and werewolves killed humans at night. The winning party finally had the right to make a wish.

In this waning moon mural, it is the werewolf who wins, so in the end it is the werewolf who gets the treasure.

The question is, what exactly do the crescent moon murals and first quarter moon murals mean.

If the crescent moon fresco is a depiction of their life before being involved in the game, what is the meaning of their sudden collapse in the first quarter moon fresco?

Suddenly, something reappeared in Hikigaya Hachiman's mind. It was a 'motivation' that Hiratsuka Shizuka helped him find today - "SwordArt Online"!

The more Hikigaya Hachiman thought about it, the more he felt that the plot was very similar to their current situation, they were caught off guard and involved in an inexplicable death game.

Could it be that he and others are the same as the story in "SwordArtOnline", that only the spirit is in this world and the body is still lying outside, so someone suddenly falls down on the mural?

And once you die in the game, will your brain be destroyed with electronic pulses just like the people who died in the story?

Hikigu Hachiman's expression was uncertain, he reached out and pinched his arm hard, and the arm also faithfully conveyed the pain back to him.

"Brain in a vat?" Hikigu Hachiman murmured.

The so-called brain in a vat is a very famous hypothetical experiment.

Suppose a mad scientist takes someone's brain out of the human body, puts it in a tank filled with nutrient solution to maintain its activity, and uses a supercomputer to transmit the same various signals to the brain through the nerve endings, and send out signals to the brain. The signal gives the same signal feedback as usual...

So can the brain realize that it is living in virtual reality?

This, there is no way to prove what the situation is!

Hikigu Hachiman was a little crazy, but there was nothing he could do about the situation.

Is he really in this village called Human Wolf Village now, or is he in some super real virtual game?

Maybe even he was actually dreaming...

By the way, there should be another mural!

Thinking of this, Hikigaya Hachiman hastily ran to the back of the auditorium.

New moon, waxing and waning moon, waning moon, these are the phases of the moon.Since this is the case, there should be a mural of the full moon in the middle!

In order, the full moon murals should tell the story between the first quarter moon murals and the last quarter moon murals, that is, from when they fell down to when they started playing the werewolf game!

As long as you know this, maybe everything can be solved.How on earth did they come here, what will hold this human-wolf game, why the werewolves start killing people, are there any traitors among the participants...

Hikigaya Hachiman looked up hopefully, and there was indeed a full moon drawn on the back wall of the auditorium!

However, there is nothing under the full moon.

Chapter 40

"Nothing...why?"

Hikigu Hachiman opened his eyes wide in disbelief, took a few steps forward, and carefully looked at the blank outer wall, trying to find the clues he had missed, but no matter how he looked at it, there was nothing special about the outer wall.

"Monokuma, why is there nothing on it?!"

Hikigu Hachiman was slightly excited.

After all, it is impossible for ordinary normal people to maintain complete composure when they know that they may feel that everything around them is a false illusion created by computers, just like the actors in The Matrix.

"Hey? Do you still want to ask me about this kind of thing?" The black and white bear who appeared at Hikigu Hachiman's feet tilted his head and looked expressionlessly at Hikigu Hachiman on call: "I'm not your mother bear. Think about it yourself."

"Also, let me remind you, you should go back. But if you insist on staying here, I don't have any objection, huh, huh, huh, huh~"

"?!"

Hikigaya Hachiman came to his senses, took out the pocket watch in his pocket and looked at it, and found that the pointer had already pointed to [-]:[-].

Tsk, there are only 5 minutes left, I have to hurry back...

In desperation, Hikigu Hachiman had no choice but to temporarily put aside his doubts about the blankness under the full moon, and ran to the dormitory building with all his strength.

He doesn't feel like the "terrible thing" that Monokuma said. It is important to explore the truth, but his own life is the most important thing!

Regarding the idea of ​​whether this world is some kind of virtual game, go find the owner of "SwordArt Online" 'Motive' tomorrow and ask.

-

"...a brain in a vat?"

In the world of Conan, when Hikigaya Hachiman mentioned this speculation, Toru Amuro almost immediately thought of a case with a huge impact that happened before.

Noah's Ark Event!

There was a 10-year-old genius who developed the artificial intelligence program "Noah's Ark". Later, the boy died and "Noah's Ark" went out of control. It controlled the game "Cocoon" made with the latest virtual reality technology.

"Cocoon" is a virtual somatosensory game that can control the five senses and experience things like reality. Many children of industry leaders have experienced this game and were trapped in the game by "Noah's Ark" and forced to play the game. , once the game fails, it means death.
