"What do you want to say?"
Zhixing looked at Shadow Bear with some confusion. After all, as the master of the hall, Shadow Bear didn't really care about other things. The only thing related to Zhixing was the bowl of thick soup, which had already been confirmed to be drunk in the Velvet Room.
With Shadow's straightforward personality, he probably won't regret anything.
"You're going to that weird room, right?"
"Uh yeah, is there anything you want to ask?"
"You are not safe there, take this bowl with you."
Shadow Bear pushed the bowl full of soup in front of Zhi Xing.
Looking at the bowl that had been expanded to a size almost as big as the one inside the witch's barrier, Zhi Xing immediately started to shirk responsibility:
"Let's not talk about what you're going to do, but this bowl is too big, and I still have to pass through the ordinary people's world. It's inconvenient to hold this."
"I don't care! What if you go out and don't come back for a few days? You don't want me to do anything bad, do you?"
Shadow Bear bluntly exposed his own helplessness in the face of Paper Line, and therefore threatened others directly.
Based on this, Zhixing confirmed the priority of his golden finger, which was indeed far superior to the power of an ordinary witch.
Whether it's turning the demon back into a human or being able to escape the witch's barrier directly, these are actions that the witch is powerless to stop.
But at the same time, the witch can also actively release the witch's kiss, and Zhi Xing cannot stop her behavior.
Even now, he can take back the Witch's Kiss, but it is because the witch is willing and gave him the identity of her friend. Otherwise, the Witch's Kiss cannot be taken back.
Although in the original plot only Sakura Futaba and Suzui Shiho were affected by the Witch's Kiss, in fact, when Kazuyuki accidentally saw a lot of stand-ins on the street, Kazuyuki understood that it was too easy for something to go wrong in this world that had not been screened by witches.
Even if there aren't as many people as in Conan, as long as one Witch's Kiss escapes and becomes a familiar, the consequences would be disastrous.
Therefore, the witch's bond also needs to be maintained, not to mention that there will be many times in the future when help will be needed.
So Zhi Xing thought for a moment and asked:
"When I get out, what will happen to this witch's barrier here and outside?"
Shadow Bear glanced at the paper, then stretched out his hand and gestured:
"When you're about to disappear, you always suddenly become very large, even larger than the barrier you mentioned, and then you can no longer be seen."
Zhi Xing was stunned for a moment, then realized that his initial guess was correct. Because of his words, the witch's barrier shrank back into the witch's kiss. Then he heard Shadow Bear add:
"After that, it was just the sound of you talking..."
"Wait! Can you...can you hear me the whole time??"
When Zhixing heard this, he was caught off guard and trembled in his heart. It was uncomfortable to have someone read his mind all the time, and it felt like his privacy was being invaded.
"Yeah, but I don't understand what you're saying at all."
Shadow Bear admitted this without any conscious effort, but the words he said still made Zhixing feel relieved.
"You're not using witch language in the hall as well, are you?"
"Witch language? What is that?"
"That's what you're saying now. I remember you said you couldn't remember your past memories, right? Isn't it like amnesia? Although you can't remember the memories, you can still speak and understand knowledge instinctively?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. Isn't it possible for everyone to speak?"
"What about the girl who came in with me before? Didn't she talk in the room?"
"Ah? Is she talking?"
Paper Line and Shadow Bear stared at each other and reviewed the situation on both sides.
Only then did I realize that whether it was a witch or a familiar, they were actually unable to understand the original human language.
Zhixing even asked the witch to write something to confirm it, and found that even the little bear in the hall was writing authentic witch writing.
In the original plot setting, the witch text is actually German or English with a different appearance.
It's like a junior high school student who is still learning Japanese. Once he becomes a witch, his German skills are suddenly maxed out and his other language skills are all lowered.
This situation is very strange, because according to my impression, the witches in the movie can read and communicate normally, so how could the text be turned into witch text?
Zhixing was about to raise a question, but then he remembered that among the research party, there seemed to be research on the meaning of the witch text that appeared in the movie, and that was after the truth that Mitakihara was a witch barrier came out.
If you look at it this way, witches are actually the only exception, as familiars themselves do not recognize the original human writing and language.
The witch at that time had not completely transformed, unlike the little bear in front of him, who had been completely transformed and even reborn in the witch's kiss.
This fact also made the paper industry feel relieved.
That's right, otherwise the witch seems to still have some human consciousness. If she knew through her familiar that she was harming people, it would easily contribute to the growth of despair.
I'm afraid it was Kyubey who transformed the witch.
The paper industry concluded.
Because even if you have some thoughts in your mind, they are just translations to yourself or others, so your inner voice will not be exposed.
And what a coincidence! When Zhi Xing escaped from the barrier, everyone else also came out of it. Otherwise, if anyone was still left inside...
"No way?"
Zhixing swallowed hard, thinking of Kamo Shida who had been trapped in the barrier for a long time, and of the masters of Liangshanpo who entered the barrier one by one to test their strength.
While feeling panicked, I immediately started looking for something to comfort myself.
"Don't panic, don't panic, maybe they didn't hear anything?"
"Hey, if someone enters the barrier, can they hear the sound?"
"Until you speak, there is sound."
Zhixing's heart sank, and he immediately thought of the thing that must not be known by anyone.
For example, letting Homura know that she was responsible for Madoka's death, the Principle of the Circle, no longer existed, and letting Kyubey... Hmm? Kyubey?
Thinking that this character can also read minds, Zhixing's mentality returned.
Although I have no memories, in the world of Madoka Magica, it seems that perhaps I have added some kind of wish buff to my translation ability, so that even the literate Kyubey cannot read my heart.
And if one could hear the inner voice by entering the barrier, then even Homura would know that Kabuki had the Witch's Kiss and would give birth to a familiar with despair, so Kyubey would naturally know this even better.
So with Xiaoyan's reminder, I must take precautions against this.
Perhaps because he was suddenly relaxed, Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief and his thoughts became unusually clear. He soon came up with an idea to drink soup and go out to do things at the same time.
"I've thought of a way."
"Solution? Whatever you come up with, you need to take this bowl of soup with you and drink it for me after you finish your business!"
"no problem."
"Hmph, I don't care...eh?"
"I mean, not only can I drink it, I also want you to give me the soup you saved up. You should have saved some, right? After all, it's all the work of the familiar."
"Yes, I have it, but can you finish it in one meal?"
Zhixing rolled his eyes and turned a blind eye to the fact that Shadow Bear would become a demon if he drank the soup. Instead, he worried that the portion was too large and he wouldn't be able to finish it, and expressed helplessness.
The soup in the hall has been compressed and has long exceeded the tolerance of being drunk in batches. Both too much and too little will turn into familiars.
"Don't worry, I should be able to handle it, but I need your cooperation."
Zhi Xing paused, sorted out his words and said:
"I didn't know exactly what was going to happen once I got to that room, but I figured out how to get myself down to safety."
"First, let's leave the bowl here. When I call you, come over and give it to me."
"Can you get in there?"
Shadow Bear nodded and responded:
"As long as the barrier covers the place, I can appear!"
"Okay, then do you remember how you appeared in Futaba's palace last time?"
"Hmm... It seems to be that thing called a barrier. Since it follows your voice, it's just the right place for me to extend my hand."
"Phew~ That's even better. So, I'll go to the Velvet Room to ask questions, and then I'll call you out when something happens. You just give me the soup."
"Don't you have to wait until it's over?"
"No, it's over when you give it to me."
Shadow Bear nodded, and then heard Paper Line add:
"Don't leave so quickly after giving me the soup."
"Do you remember how you surrounded Kamoshida's palace before?"
"I just saw a figure appear, so I went to take a look, and then I saw this empty house. I thought it was suitable, so I moved back with the house."
"A human figure?... I see. Then when you see my figure, just like this time, have the witch cast a barrier to enclose the velvet room."
"Although I remember that Gemini also has combat capabilities, such as founding a nation, you may not be able to contain it, but you can change your target."
Zhixing said as he took out his No. 2 cell phone and placed it in front of the witch.
"Come, I'll teach you how to use it. When the time comes, give me the soup, then click on this history record, and then go and cover the most conspicuous area, and ask the witch to drive away the people inside."
"Oh."
Shadow Bear listened to Zhihang's explanation with only a vague understanding, but still asked with some concern:
"What if you don't do what you say? I won't be able to see you if you go out."
"Everything I said is true. As long as you do this, I can recover from my transformation into a demon. So there's no need to lie to you."
"Really? Then make a pinky promise? The liar will have to swallow a needle!"
Looking at the physical sewing needle that appeared behind the shadow bear, he confirmed Kyubey's guess that the witch had replaced her cognitive filter.
But he still followed Little Bear's idea, interlocked his pinky fingers, and according to the knowledge that the other party still retained for some reason, he muttered and hooked it:
"Hook your finger, hook your finger! Those who cheat others will have to swallow a thousand needles and have their little fingers cut off."
Originally it was just a pinky promise, thought it was like coaxing a child, a promise that would last a hundred years and not change.
But after listening to the translated meaning, Zhixing couldn't help but frown. What kind of situation would make a child need to say words of this extent before he could choose to believe others?
It can also make Shadow Bear, who has almost forgotten his memory of being a human, remember it.
Zhi Xing closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly, but now that his worries had been resolved, he could go to the Velvet Room to ask questions.
At that time, did I make a contract with the little bear?
In a daze, Zhixing recalled the conversation in the witch's barrier before coming here.
A transaction based on an agreement can be considered an exchange of mutual desires.
In other words, for me now, there is a high possibility that the little bear will become the power of my personality mask.
Although it is not the classic I am you and you are me, but the little bear and I have been together in spirit for a long time, otherwise he would not be able to follow me and act together.
Although I can pack up my belongings and take them with me, I can't take the things in the barrier with me. So the only explanation is that they are connected by souls...
When Zhixing was silently thinking about the witch, several obviously different voices suddenly appeared.
"Hey! Is this really okay?"
"Yeah, you shouldn't be able to hear others in this state, but you seem to be able to get to the heart of people. Maybe that can do something."
"This kind of power is beyond my comprehension. It's better to trust the opinions of those close to me."
"But we've already fought like this, will everything be alright? What if..."
Amamiya Ren: "Don't worry, since he chose to do this, he should be able to leave."
Hmm? Is that voice... the Phantom Thieves?
I am...oh yeah, I seem to have become a demon...what happened next?
Zhixing felt as if he was vaguely distracted, causing his thoughts to become fragmented.
Just as Zhixing was shaking his head, trying to keep himself awake.
A blue butterfly, with a trail of white fluorescence, flew past Zhi Xing's eyes.
"The [Bystander of Fate] who has long been imprisoned."
