This was getting old. Jiro had had every hope that everyone was too close to kill each other anymore. But apparently, he was very wrong.
Cause without even a motive this time, someone took an innocent life.
Well, ignoring whether or not that life was truly innocent, it's still a horrible thing.
"So...where do we start? I'm not exactly the best at these things, as you probably already know." Mizuki said, rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly.
"How about we start with simply going over how the body was found, then we can branch off from there." Jiro suggested.
"Fine. The body was found in the third floor girls bathroom. The cause of death was electrocution. The Monokuma Files confirmed this -"
But something happened that no one could have predicted. Not them. Not Monokuma. Not any god or goddess. Yes, not a single soul there could have predicted what they experienced next.
Gin was interrupted by something...strange.
The entire world around them suddenly flickered on and off. Square chunks of random parts of the trial room began to fall before automatically pushing themselves back in place.
"W-hats hap-pening?" Kaze asked, gripping her podium for support.
Jiro looked around. From the look of it, the world was glitching out. But that was impossible. That couldn't possibly happen.
"Look!" Itsuki pointed towards Monokuma.
In a flash of light, the whole world seemed to get ten times faster. It was like they were moving at a high speed that transcends time itself.
One of the strangest parts was the fact that Monokuma wasn't moving. He look equally as glitched out. But Monokitty was just looking around in confusion.
Just barely, Jiro heard one voice speak in fear.
"...someone's trying to get in..." Mizuki murmured quietly.
Just then in the center of the glitching trial room, static appeared like a sort of projection.
"....ello....hello?....an...ear...e....any....there?"
The voice was coming through too gravelly. It was hard to make out what it was saying.
"...hello?! This is....foundation....!...this is future foundation!!"
Everyone stared at the center in absolute shock. Future foundation? Why was their enemy trying to contact them?
"What...is this....?" Jiro said aloud.
"...I don't know if anyone is there...but listen to me...we're speeding things up for you!...go underground...find...door....!....connections....a...re....get...ting....we-.."
The voice suddenly cut off and the static in front of them disappeared altogether. The room slowly stopped shaking and the background came into focus, albeit was a little different from before.
And just like that, the room went back to normal, but their plight wasn't over just yet. There was still one more surprise.
"Ding Ding Ding! You guys voted correctly! The murderer of Guren Isukuma, the Ultimate Illusionist, was none other than herself!"
[Case Closed]
—————————————————————
"Wh-what?!" Jiro shouted
"What's wrong? You guys are the ones who voted. So why do you look so surprised?" Monokuma asked.
No one said another word. They all just stared at Monokuma with unreadable expressions. All of them came to the same conclusion without consulting each other.
