Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Zhixing took off his torn coat and quickly wiped his hands.

It was obvious that his hands were still very rough and did not seem to have received any treatment.

Zhixing came to his senses and immediately picked up phone No. 3, wiped off the dirt in the same way, and then looked at the time of the missed call.

"15:41"

"Not before writing the letter three minutes ago"

"So fast, how could this happen?"

Zhixing frowned as he looked at the message on his phone. Although he had known for a long time that he had the possibility of being reset, it had never been triggered, either when he was seriously injured just now or last night. But it appeared at this time. Zhixing was full of doubts.

But soon, the phone rang for the second time, and Zhihang picked up the call.

"You're finally back. What are you doing? Are you free? Can you come and help me?"

"what happened?"

"You're asking what's wrong? Don't you know clearly? My illusion... no, it's the influence of another world. It's so annoying that I can't rest properly! Come back and save me quickly!"

Zhixing lowered his head, trying to find a way out from his bloodstained clothes, while asking:

"Please help me find Amamiya Ren and the others, and ask them to confirm whether Kamoshida is alive or dead, so that I can take him with confidence..."

"They've been out of contact since the beginning. Mishima Yuki went to the alley but didn't see Amamiya Ren and the others. His cell phone couldn't get a signal either. It's exactly the same situation as you were in before."

"Mishima Yuki? He is..."

"He's a boy from the volleyball club. He's in the same class as Amamiya Ren, and he was the third boy who came to Kamoshida's office."

Zhixing was stunned for a moment before he remembered that it was the one who assisted in the management of the Phantom Thief website and was one of Amamiya Ren's bonds.

Even though he hadn't witnessed anything happening to An Takamaki's best friend, he had already gone to Kamoshida's office.

Zhi Xing thought about it, and then asked:

"Then, could you please ask him to come over and bring me some clothes? It's not convenient for me to leave now."

"Isn't the Kamoshida thing over yet?"

"That's probably the case, and... no, let's first check on the situation of Amamiya Ren and the others. Sorry to bother you, once I've dealt with Amamiya Ren and the others, I'll go back and help you."

After talking to Shuangye on the other end of the phone for a few more words, Zhixing put down the phone.

Although Futaba complained a few times that she should be given priority because she was being tortured, she still expressed her cooperation.

Zhixing peeked outside the alley, and after making sure no one was coming, he took off his upper body clothes and used the torn clothes to spread the blood on his body.

There was no way. Although Zhixing successfully came out of the witch's barrier, considering that his plan required him to be demonized, he left everything except his mobile phone on the doll tower.

After roughly cleaning up the traces that could be cleaned, Zhixing looked at the pool of blood on the ground and thought of this possibility in his mind.

"When I encountered fatal dangers in the past, I didn't rely on the reset to resist, but the witch barrier actively protected me."

"What's so special about me? If witches like to protect toys, they would have turned me into a toy and kept me in their collection long ago."

"Is it because I have the Witch's Kiss? That's impossible. The witch would love for the holder of the Witch's Kiss to die so that she can obtain their soul."

"But the witch itself shouldn't be protecting me. After all, once I die, the witch's barrier will escape from my body and find another place to stay."

"Unless, things are different from what I thought."

"For example...if I die, the witch won't be able to touch this world."

A symbiotic relationship is usually a transaction between the ring grandfather and the protagonist in order to reshape the body, or two souls use the same body. Once one dies, the other will also dissipate due to the death of the body.

The evidence that points to this conclusion...

Zhi Xing glanced in the direction from which he had emerged from the barrier.

"I clearly came out of the edge of the barrier, and my coordinates in reality changed because of it. But once I re-entered the barrier, I was either pulled into the witch's room or I was on the periphery of the barrier, that area that's neither close to the edge nor far away."

"It seems that after I leave the barrier for a certain distance, the barrier itself will be forced back into the Witch's Kiss, back to my soul, so that my next call can re-enter the Witch's barrier with myself as the coordinate."

"If you look at it this way, if I die, the witch barrier will be exiled to that alien space, unable to return to reality."

"So... I and the other world navigation app have the same function? If I don't do this, ordinary people won't be able to enter that world?"

The inability to draw others into the witch's barrier seemed to confirm Zhixing's guess again.

It is precisely because the witch's barrier cannot be completely released that only people who have contact with the paper can enter the barrier.

But the barrier itself has expanded to such a large scale, I'm afraid it has not changed in the alien space.

So Zhi Xing did not unfold the witch's barrier, but entered the space of the barrier.

"However, the witch's barrier did not take effect this time, which means that my current condition is not caused by this reason."

"But is it because... Kamoshida is still alive in the barrier?"

The people that the protagonists can contact at this point in time are basically fixed, so Zhixing can judge with certainty that they have entered Kamoshida's hall.

Although he hasn't figured out the situation yet, Jixing thinks that the protagonists are in Kamoshida's palace, Kamoshida is in the witch's barrier, and the witch is attached to Jixing's body.

Therefore, under the result that fate could not be changed, Zhi Xing, who was about to die due to serious injuries, miraculously recovered early.

Faced with this conclusion, Zhixing didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After all, Zhixing took this risk because he was not sure whether Kamoshida was alive or dead, so he did not dare to go back directly.

As a result, he died but also came back to life.

"It's probably a good thing. After all, the power of demonization. Once I know this power and I can avoid its influence by going back, I will definitely try to master it."

"But now doesn't seem to be a good time to seize the opportunity."

"I was able to escape from the clutches of a familiar that was clearly an elite, just by being on the verge of transformation."

"It seems that the witch's barrier is not very powerful after all. The familiar appears only to consume the magical girl's magic power."

"If that's the case... then ordinary familiars that only feel intimidating in numbers... I'm afraid they really won't be able to defeat Kamoshida."

Zhixing sighed, even though the witch barrier was Zhixing's only power that could pose a threat to Kamoshida.

But Zhixing thought carefully about his previous experience and soon realized that although the familiar was much stronger, he was able to keep up with the familiar's walking speed by covering up the sound of his footsteps. He was afraid that the familiar's speed was not too fast.

Except when attacking in a straight line.

"I should have thought of it earlier. The familiars weren't intentionally strengthened in combat. Kyubey used them to weaken the witch's excessive magic power. That's why he created the barrier and split the familiars."

"I weakened the magical girl's power so that she wouldn't be under too much pressure from life and death. I also used familiars to consume a large amount of magical energy so that the magical girl couldn't squander it at will."

"Since Kyubey has chosen a sustainable development approach, what about the combat effectiveness of the most basic unit, the familiar, that was split off?"

When Zhixing thought about the Shadow Witch, who was able to rely on stealth to avoid being discovered, and the Rose Witch's visit to the restaurant at that time, he suddenly understood one thing.

"Even if it's a familiar, it can't kill ordinary people so quickly. This is to give the magical girl time to save them."

"Otherwise, if the speed from being controlled by the Witch's Kiss to completing the task was very fast, and if the casualties were very fast after being caught in the barrier, then the magical girl would have fallen into despair long ago because she couldn't protect anything."

"In other words, ordinary people have a certain survival time within the witch's barrier."

"That is, even if you're discovered, you can still run away!"

Thinking of this, Zhixing felt a sense of powerlessness.

"As a gold medalist, Kamoshida, even though his sport isn't long-distance running, is clearly better than the average sports student. Even with a familiar, I'm afraid he won't be able to be killed."

"In other words, the option of changing one's fate by killing someone never existed from the beginning?"

"No, there is another one, an absolute way to die."

"Witch's Kiss, yes. Once the Witch's Kiss is planted and the body is controlled, this is the only possibility of killing him."

"I remember the reason why we came out of Kenichi's world. That karate guy was also in good health. It was only because I sent him into the witch's barrier that he got the witch's kiss that only desperate people can get."

"And Kamoshida's situation is the same now. If he were to come out, he would definitely... definitely turn into a Witch's Kiss that would murder everyone around him and threaten others."

"No, I forgot one thing."

Zhixing looked at the mobile phone in his hand. If he guessed correctly, the Witch's Kiss had probably affected Sakura Futaba.

So the auditory hallucinations that I could tolerate for a few months have now become so severe that even my sleep is disturbed.

"The palace... represents my own desires... my other self?"

Chapter 228 Kamoshida’s Palace

"Stop yelling. Did you bring the clothes?"

Zhixing looked at Mishima, who was so scared that he pressed his back against the wall and covered his mouth with his clothes, and tried to persuade him.

Mishima stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed at the pool of blood in the alley, and said in a trembling voice:

"Could that be... Kamoshida's...?!"

"Calm down, that's just my blood, don't make a fuss. Calm down and take a good look at my clothes."

Zhixing kept his distance helplessly and threw the two torn clothes on his body over.

Looking at Mishima who was frightened just by the sound of his clothes falling to the ground, Zhixing sighed.

He clearly just wanted Mishima to help him get a set of clothes to wear outside and some water to wash the blood off his body.

But Mishima, who was so eager to complete the task, almost cried out as soon as he showed his head around the corner of the alley.

Zhixing wanted to go up and stop him from making any sound, but Mishima covered his mouth. Although he was backing away, he did not scream or run away.

Except for the fact that Zhi Xing looked more nervous when he tried to get closer, his reaction was totally unlike that of an ordinary person.

"Are you in a hurry? Kamoshida isn't in school right now, right? That means the club activities are temporarily cancelled, right? Take me back to your school first."

Zhixing waited for Mishima to gradually recover. He squatted down and checked the condition of his clothes. He finally felt better. This time, he approached and spoke.

"What on earth are you guys planning to do? Why are you dragging me into this?"

Mishima Yuki felt the approach of Jixing, and although he was still very nervous, Jixing could still see that at least he would not develop a mentality that could lead to the Witch's Kiss.

"You're the student who's always been oppressed by Kamoshida, right? But on that day, you went too. Without anyone asking you to."

"Because...I was the one who called him over..."

Mishima Yuki lowered his head, and his voice became softer, perhaps because of fear or some other reason.

"I recognize you. If I hadn't participated, you would have become the Phantom Thieves' biggest fan and actively helped them."

"The Phantom Thieves?"

"Yeah, those are the people on the phone who asked you to join. Take off your clothes."

Mishima Yuki raised his head and handed the clothes to Zhixing. His eyes seemed to change, and his voice returned to normal as he asked:

"The Phantom Thieves are the same power that suddenly disappeared from your life yesterday? Can I...can I get it too?"

Zhixing first took out some water and washed himself, then denied Mishima's desire:

"It's hard to say. In my opinion, there is no hope for you to gain power."

"How could that be? That person said I could be involved!"

"She is just an outsider and doesn't know the source and conditions of this power."

After roughly washing his body, Zhixing quickly changed his clothes without waiting for his body to dry, then waved to Mishima and said:

"But this isn't bad, I can give you a chance."

"Really?! Thank you, Senior!!!"

Mishima Yuki bowed excitedly, then subconsciously glanced at the alley and ran out.

Seeing Mishima's attitude change 180 degrees, Zhixing had already sentenced him to death in his heart.

It wasn't about silencing him, but rather ordering the death penalty for the possibility of him gaining power.

In the setting of p5, in addition to the condition of entering the other world, another condition is required to awaken the personality mask.

That's the idea of ​​a spirit of resistance to injustice.

As someone who has long been accustomed to despair and still has enough mental fortitude to ignore negative emotions, Zhi Xing is very confident that he can directly feel the personality mask.

However, Mishima's case was not sufficient.

As a supporting character in the game, Mishima's will to resist has been worn out a lot because of the long-term oppression by Kamoshida. Even in his personal plot, he was only dealt with by the protagonists in the public's impression.

The desire required by the personality mask is comparable to that of the temple.

Therefore, if there is a temple, there will be no personality mask, and if there is a personality mask, there will no longer be a temple.
