Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"Bear, hit it!"

bump! !

The huge difference in strength caused one of them to fly out directly and hit the wall hard, causing a crack in the wall in his cognition.

Zhi Xing stared blankly at Kamoshida, who was now some distance away, and cried out in surprise:

"Little Bear, where are you?"

"I don't know. I can't seem to leave the range of the barrier, but I blocked it for you."

Zhixing stood up again from the ground and touched the place where he was hit by the unicorn, but he did not feel any wound.

Then he saw several shadowy soldiers coming out of the ward, blocking both sides of the corridor. Then he looked at the witch's magic power around his body which had not disappeared, and he felt something was wrong.

"Are you kidding me? We've already reached the cognitive world, so why aren't we on the same level?"

Chapter 241: Which one is more powerful, the witch or the temple?

There are two shadows on each side of the corridor, and there is also a shadow opposite the door, and behind it is the shadow Kamoshida.

Zhixing looked at the soldiers who blocked the intersection but did not immediately launch an attack, then stood up carefully and leaned against the wall.

"You really can't come out, Little Bear?"

[Hmm...wait a minute, let me try...]

"Humph, he's really just a petty thief who can only plot against others secretly. It really is no big deal."

Kamoshida became arrogant when he saw Zhixing being knocked away by his own soldiers in one encounter, but he did not leave behind the soldier at the door. He just mocked Zhixing from behind.

"Hey, I'm curious, why can you take your soldiers out of your own palace?"

Although he was already surrounded, Zhixing ignored the monsters on both sides that he could not defeat. Instead, he glanced at the closed door of a ward next to him and asked Kamoshida.

"Hahahaha, I thought you dared to face me alone because you had some kind of power like those masked students. I didn't expect you don't even know much about this world."

Kamoshida stretched out a hand covered by a red cloak, touched his head and laughed as if he knew that the paper industry was just like that.

"Foolish thief, who told you that my palace is just a castle? I am a king, so of course I have a territory."

"territory?"

When he heard this word, Zhixing frowned immediately.

As for what it is like to exist outside the temple, Zhixing can only remember three cases.

One is naturally the Futaba Palace that has been frequented recently.

Apart from the pyramid in the center, which is a real temple, the outside is desert... and an abandoned city with no one else in it.

The second one is the politician who is the main boss of this world - Shido Zhengyi.

Its temple is Noah's Ark in the ocean, so everything outside the temple is an ocean.

When Zhixing was conducting the experiment, he was able to directly enter Noah's Ark, and did not start from the desert like Futaba did. Therefore, it can be inferred that under this ocean, there is probably only water and nothing else.

The third one is a gangster named Junya Kaneshiro.

It was also the only one in the paper industry whose name could not be found by searching directly on the Internet. It was only then that I had an idea and looked for public court records of people who were acquitted due to insufficient evidence. Only then did I find the corresponding hall based on the surname Jincheng.

Its temple is a bank floating above Shibuya, and it treats ordinary citizens in Shibuya as disposable ATMs.

But this is also due to the professional characteristics of the underworld, so it spreads across all areas, which led to the inclusion of the entire Shibuya. This is completely incomparable to Kamoshida, who relied on one or two years in school to gain the right to speak.

As for the hidden boss who can eventually drag everyone in Shibuya city into another world, he is naturally not considered.

"Have you forgotten? I am the king of Shujin Academy. Based on how those slaves are treated, those who are parents are also under my jurisdiction."

"And in this hospital closest to the academy, there are also my subjects!"

Upon hearing this, Zhixing immediately realized that he had made a wrong judgment again.

After all, because he saw the shadow of a passerby appear next to the original body, he judged that there was a high probability that Kamoshida's shadow would also appear next to Kamoshida himself. At that time, without the support of the soldiers of the hall, it should be easy to take it away relying on the power of the little bear.

"The injuries of those people in the volleyball club, injuries caused by training, such false evidence was fabricated by the hospital here to cover up the injuries caused by corporal punishment?"

"No, not only that. When the person jumped from the building, everyone else followed the students out of the classroom to watch the excitement. How could Kamoshida, the person involved, stay in the office alone without doing anything? It took so long from the time the incident caused a sensation to the time the ambulance arrived and took the injured person away!"

"Could it be that... the reason why he fell and was unconscious for so long..."

"Hmph, what do you mean by staying in the office? What are you talking about? Didn't you take me to a temple that day, forcing me to stay in the hospital now? You're just interrupting my good time. I'm going to tear you into pieces!!"

When Kamoshida thought about this, although he did not empathize with the memory, as a king, he was still obviously very angry about Zhixing's rebellious behavior. So he waved his hand and ordered the shadow soldiers surrounding Zhixing to take action.

When Zhixing saw Kamoshida waving, he immediately ran to the door of the ward and tried to open it.

But unlike Kamoshida's own ward, the other wards seemed to be fixed in space for some reason, and Zhixing couldn't turn the handles at all with his strength.

Oh no, this is not Kamoshida's Palace, so the scene here is just a fake one that has not been implemented, just like I didn't take the elevator to look for it. There is no place to escape, little bear, I can only delay it here.

The faster shadow horse was about to cross the insignificant distance in the corridor and reach the side of the paper bank with one kick of its four hooves.

A smoke bomb was thrown from somewhere in the corridor.

The corridor was instantly covered with smoke.

Zhixing, who was knocked away by the unicorn again, was caught from the back by a pair of hands, who then turned around and slipped into the stairwell of the hospital with Zhixing.

"That assassin has appeared again? Chase him! We can't let him get away!"

Zhixing watched as the shadow soldiers quickly rushed out of the range of the smoke. Some of the shadows even shook off the smoke around them, then looked at Zhixing and rushed towards him.

But the person carrying the paper behind him was not slow at all. He rushed up the stairs with a clear purpose, and then arrived at a ward on a certain floor in a few seconds. Then he opened the door of the ward and threw the paper in without making any sound.

Taking advantage of the few seconds when Zhi Xing was free from its back, he saw that existence through the closed ward window.

He was dressed as a ninja, and nothing could be seen clearly except his figure.

Then, the ninja continued to run forward, and from the direction where the paper came from, the noisy footsteps of other shadow soldiers were heard.

Zhixing didn't have time to stand up, so he rolled on the ground and came to the wardrobe where the patients and caregivers' luggage were kept, and came to the blind spot of the ward window.

As the undisguised footsteps outside the door passed by the ward, Zhixing dared to stand up and patted his dust-free body.

"You are that friend, right?"

Suddenly, a sound came from the ward, which scared Zhixing. He then realized that there was a woman lying on the bed next to him, her whole body wrapped in a sheet with only her head exposed.

"Huh~ Are you... Suzui Shiho?"

Zhixing saw the familiar Witch's Kiss tattoo on the other person's exposed neck and couldn't help but utter a doubtful affirmation.

"Is this woman's name? I'm not sure if she's the Suzui Shiho you're talking about, but she'd be happy to help you."

Shiho tilted his head in confusion but replied respectfully.

"A familiar? In other words, this isn't really a shadow, but merely a cognitive presence?"

After hearing the other party's answer, Zhixing realized what the little bear was trying to do.

If other people's palaces are dominated by the rules of reality.

The witch's rule is that if I set my eyes on something, it becomes mine.

This is not as complicated as the real rules, it is simply the control of power.

Without the corresponding qualifications, it is impossible to resist this kind of control. It is impossible to be like Kamoshida, who dared to jump off the building and cause a riot, and the other dared to leak secrets and lead the way to the protagonist group.

Uh...I think I can jump a little bit.

"Yes, I am the expedition leader under Zhi Xing, and a familiar who specializes in hunting."

Shiho introduced herself as she moved her body under the sheets, but nothing came out.

Zhi Xing wanted to complain about his own name, but he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he looked at the obvious bulge in the bed sheet that would be noticed by people outside the door, frowned and asked:

"Couldn't the people outside see you? Or did they actually know you were here but just didn't want to come in?"

Shiho glanced outside the door and then explained to Zhixing:

"Don't worry, you can't see what's going on inside from the outside. There's a barrier here. Only when you're inside it can you see what's outside, my friend, Master Zhixing."

Zhi Xing scratched his face, feeling that such a name was too strange to explain, so he quickly interrupted:

"I see. No wonder it threw me in here and ran away without any hesitation. By the way, is it the me that it recognizes?"

Shiho carefully looked at Zhixing's figure and then said affirmatively:

"Although I didn't see the familiar's appearance, judging from its body shape, it should be imitating the familiar you created."

"A familiar?"

"It's the familiar created by the magic power of this witch's barrier. But it seems that it doesn't obey the witch's orders. Instead, it is causing trouble for the witch. So after discovering my place, it just used it as a hiding place and had no intention of telling the witch."

Zhixing looked at Zhifan who kept using the wrong name, covered his head and nodded, indicating that he understood and there was no need to say it again.

Kamoshida is a witch?

Thinking of the image of the man wearing only shorts, Zhixing felt a little uncomfortable.

Although this cognitive world is the same as Madoka Magica's witch barrier, both are created through one's own experience to create an existence of one's own cognition.

But under the enchantment of the witch's magic, this kind of existence is often far from the original prototype, and apart from the color or body shape, nothing specific can be seen.

For example, Madoka and Ayame in The Witch of Beauty, and Kyosuke Kamijou in The Little Mermaid.

Hmm? Could it be that in the witch's vision, the other person appears normal?

Zhixing couldn't help but think of the only movie that told the story from a witch's perspective. He thought of the Nutcracker Witch who was normal when she was an ordinary person, but after becoming a witch, although her vision didn't seem to change, and she even instinctively blocked other magical girls, she was still busy persuading the magical girls.

Only when Madoka enters the witch's head can she see the true vision after becoming a witch.

The scene of the crime after the destruction of the Witch Night, and the scarred arm of Xiaoyuan that was stretched out from the window.

After temporarily resolving his doubts about his current situation, Zhixing looked again at the familiar in front of him, whose only head still had the appearance of Shiho.

The reason why he said there was only the head was because Zhi Xing looked at the covered body and asked curiously:

"You should be the cognitive existence on the witch's side, right? Why are you so secretive? This body of yours shouldn't be the cognitive image in Kamoshida's mind, right?"

"It only seizes control of the other person's body. It doesn't create a corresponding image itself, so there's no need to waste your energy. It doesn't understand human language."

The one who responded to Zhi Xing was not the familiar Shiho lying on the hospital bed, but the ninja who had pushed open the door of the ward and walked in again at some point.

"Can't speak human language?"

Zhi Xing frowned and looked at the shadow that was most likely his own.

"Yes, even though I asked it many times about its purpose, it seemed as if it didn't hear anything and just lay on the bed."

"In other words, its current body is also the image that Kamoshida perceives?"

"Yes, although it's unclear what kind of power controls it, it can actually control the opponent's behavior without affecting the opponent's cognitive shell, and can even open a safe zone in this hall. But it is obvious that it is not the master of the hall himself, so it can't go back."

Zhixing looked at the ninja shadow and began to analyze his image in Kamoshida's mind.

They appear suddenly, have poor physical skills, but are very good at escaping, and can form an inescapable alien space. Well, they can also ruin the other party's good deeds and cause greater chaos.

Zhixing nodded, knowing that in Kamoshida's cognition, the other party might be a person who understood the cognitive world very well.

Although I have just shown my ignorance in front of the shadow, as long as it is not shown in front of the real body, it will not affect the corresponding cognitive existence.

Therefore, the paper company raised a puzzling question:

"Is there no way for the people in the temple to leave?"

Ninja Paper sat on another bed, nodded, and said affirmatively:

“Ordinary people’s desires exist in the public’s impression space.”

"If you want to become a temple, you need to distort the space around you."

"And since a distorted space has been formed, it means that there is no possibility of leaving. Only other beings can enter through the spatial channel and then be dominated by them."

Zhixing recalled and found that this was indeed how the Phantom Thieves handled their side quests. Only then did he reluctantly accept the idea that the shadow of a temple could not launch an attack on another temple.

It seems that the power of shadow must be allowed to leave the temple and form a personality mask before it can exert its own power in other places.

Thinking of this, Zhixing looked at Shiho lying on the hospital bed and asked:

"If that's the case, then why do you say it can't go back?"

"Hmm? Just like I said before, this guy has formed a distorted space, so now he is trapped in this hall. There is no way to go back, unless you can help me get rid of the master of this hall."

After hearing the ninja's answer, Jixing approached Shiho, then covered his mouth with his hand to ensure that he could speak the witch language.

"Can you come back inside the temple?"
