Fang Zheng really had a headache as to how to deal with the people in this world.

In terms of Founder's values, whether it is Enoshima Shields or those desperate remnants, just kill them. After all, many people died because of their evil deeds, so these people were sentenced to death and then burned.

It's natural to drop it.

But Fang Zheng cannot do this because the "rules" of this world are not like this.

In the final analysis, this world is a battle between "hope" and "despair", and more importantly, "despair" as an emotion is more difficult to control than a simple virus. This is actually very similar to Hinamizawa Syndrome in Higurashi's world

, it will erode you unconsciously, make you suspicious, and finally completely collapse.

The same is true in this world. If you kill them, it means that you have no hope for them, but have despair. Once despair arises, it will be eroded, then transformed, and finally collapse and go crazy.

To put it simply, it is a choice between two, either fight despair with hope, or turn yourself into despair.

This makes Fang Zheng, who is happy with his grudges, very unhappy. I can't kill you even if I don't like you, so this makes me despair.

Fortunately, Fang Zheng is not completely helpless...

Especially for a woman like Enoshima Junko, who is as ugly as a sow and has a twisted personality, it is really difficult for Fang Zheng not to kill her, but fortunately, Fang Zheng has already figured out how to do it.

To deal with Enoshima Junko. Even if he didn't kill her, he had other ways to have "hope" for Enoshima Junko.

It's just despair. Do you really think there's nothing he can do to deal with it?

Innocent!

But now, what Fang Zheng is more concerned about is not Enoshima Shield, but Nanami Chiaki.

"To be honest...when I first woke up, I was still very confused."

While playing with the game console that he found out from somewhere in his hand, Nanami Chiaki whispered.

"For me, it was just a dream, but that dream was so vivid, as if I had really been fighting with everyone in a death game for two years. I can even clearly remember everyone's name.

What they looked like, what levels and monsters we encountered, and even for a while, I really thought they were living in the world I was in. But... this is obviously not the case."

Speaking of this, Nanami Chiaki's movements slowed down slightly, and her voice became much deeper.

"It took me a long time to convince myself that it was just a dream, not reality. But... on the day when I was about to enter Hope's Peak Academy, I found this card again in my schoolbag. This

It's really hard for me to understand, I don't know what all this is going on, if it's just a dream, then why is this card there? I want to find out the reason. So, I finally decided

After entering Hope's Peak Academy, I want to investigate and see if I can find any clues from this card...to figure out what I encountered before..."

Nanami Qianqiu raised her head, looked at Fang Zheng, and showed a smile.

"Although I didn't know whether it was a dream or reality at the time, I remember clearly that it was you, the president, who led us step by step to the end. So, I also thought about being like you, the president, to unite everyone.

Together, we strive for a goal. Therefore, I chose to be the squad leader, so that everyone can communicate better through games and become companions... even when facing Enoshima Shields."

As he spoke, Nanami Chiaki lowered her head as if to hide her shyness, and continued to look at the screen of the handheld device in her hand.

"So, even though I was taken into that death game maze by Enoshima Shields, I didn't give up, because I still remember how you, the president, led us to work hard to get through the hundred floors and leave that death game.

but……………"

Nanami Chiaki smiled bitterly.

"Reality is indeed different from games. It would be great if I had the 'Shield of the Mountains'."

The "Shield of the Mountains" that Nanami Chiaki mentioned was the name of the equipment she used in the Death Game. Of course, that's all she said now.

"If you want it, I can give it to you."

Fang Zheng reached out and touched Nanami Qianqiu's hair.

"Actually, I have something to ask you, Nanami."

"What's the matter? President?"

"Do you still remember what happened when I rescued you?"

"...Yes, I still remember."

Hearing this, a shadow finally appeared on Nanami Chiaki's face.

"At that time... I was game over."

"No, it should be said that there is still a chance."

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng stared at Nanami Qianqiu.

"Nanami, if I give you another chance, would you like to do it again?"

"Why?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Qianhai Qianqiu widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Fang Zheng.

"President, what do you mean..."

"I can make you go back to the previous point in time, when you opened the door, walked into the room and were attacked. This time, I want you to use your own power to break through Enoshima Shields' death game.

Rescue your classmates, and then rescue us."

"Rescue...the president? Isn't it possible that the president can't leave here on his own?"

"It's not possible at the moment, because this world has certain rules. If I break them forcibly, it will harm the entire world. By then, I don't know whether it is me or Enoshima Shields who will do more harm to the world.

Big."

Fang Zheng shook his head. This was a method he suddenly thought of when he saw Nanami Qianqiu. He couldn't completely trust others, but Fang Zheng was absolutely certain of Nanami Qianqiu's strength. After all, it was the Sea-Dinging Needle of the Dark Moon Sword. She had saved her more than once.

She had encountered dangerous companions in the guild, so Fang Zheng believed that she would be able to do it here.

"But...I don't have the power in the game in reality..."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Hearing Nanami Chiaki's words, Fang Zheng chuckled, then he took out a ring and handed it to Nanami Chiaki.

"Put it on."

"…………?"

Nanami Chiaki took the ring and put it on her finger.

"Feel its power, and then activate it silently in your heart..."

Following Fangzheng's instructions, Nanami Chiaki nodded, and then she closed her eyes. Soon, she saw a flash of light, and the next moment, Nanami Chiaki suddenly had a set of pure white armor on her body, and she also had a huge armor in her hand.

, like a tower shield, a shield and a long sword in the shape of wings.

"Huh? This is not mine in the game..."

Opening his eyes and looking at the equipment and armor in his hands, Nanami Chiaki was stunned on the spot.

"That's right, this is called hard light armor. The principle... you don't understand even if you tell me. All in all, you just need to know that it can completely restore your attributes and equipment capabilities in the game."

Yes, this is the plan that Fang Zheng came up with after finding Nanami Chiaki. If he remembers correctly, the 77th generation students seemed to have become desperate because they saw the video of Nanami Chiaki being executed. If Nanami Chiaki is sent back to that point in time now

If so, then she might be able to save the other 77th generation students and prevent them from becoming desperate. In this way, not only can Enoshima shields be spared a few more helpers, but she can also increase her own combat power.

Of course, this is not without risks.

"You have to think clearly, I can only send you there again this time. Once time starts flowing again, I will never be able to pull you back. By that time, you will only be able to rely on yourself, and Enoshima Shields

It's not easy to deal with. Even with hard light armor, she might find a way to target you. If you stay here, you can at least ensure your personal safety, and we can also find other ways to leave."

"……………………"

After hearing Fang Zheng's reminder, Nanami Qianqiu was silent for a long time. She looked at the armor on her body and the weapons in her hands, closed her eyes, then opened them again and looked at Fang Zheng.

"I have decided, President."

"Really………"

"Yes, Teacher Yukiran has entrusted all my classmates to me, and I will not give up. I will definitely save everyone, just like you, the president, once led us out of the death game. I also hope to be able to save everyone with my own

The power to bring hope to others!”

"You have to think carefully. Some of your companions have been brainwashed by Enoshima Junko."

"……………I know."

Hearing Fang Zheng's reminder, Nanami Qianqiu's face turned a little pale. Of course she would never forget that it was Mikan Mikan who pushed her into the secret door, and it was her most respected teacher Yuki Ran who led her into the abyss of the death game.

But even so......

"Even so, I believe there will be a way!"

Looking at Nanami Qianqiu's determined expression, Fang Zheng smiled.

"Okay then, now that you've decided... let's get started."

Soon, after that, Fang Zheng once again took Qianhai Qianqiu to the previous underground passage. Looking at the dim, dilapidated, blood-stained door and floor in front of him, Qianhai Qianqiu's expression was obviously stiff.

"There is a passage over there, but it has been buried. I don't know what the situation is here. In short... you can only rely on yourself. Are you ready?"

"Okay, President."

Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Nanami Qianqiu nodded vigorously. Fang Zheng raised his hand and waved forward vigorously again. Soon, the surrounding space was instantly shattered. At the end of the broken space, one could see flying towards this side.

The sharp blades shot towards him, and the spikes shot out from all directions.
