"So...what about Mami-san?"

"That's a bit of a shame. After all, the results of my hard work have been denied by the entire world."

At this point, Okumura Haru hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"That's just a TV setting. It shouldn't be like this in real life...right?"

Zhixing glanced at the broadcasting equipment in front of him, then looked at Okumura Haru, about to say something, but paused. After hesitating for a moment, he asked in an unsteady tone:

"If you knew the truth about witches from Mami-san, what would you do?"

Okumura Haru followed Zhixing's gaze to the broadcasting equipment, and suddenly remembered why he came here to find him.

Because the abnormal word "hostage" appeared in the broadcast, I wanted to determine what Yuuji Sakai's purpose was and what the price of the contract that would awaken my power was.

When Okumura Haru heard that he had to think from Asami's perspective, he did so without hesitation.

Suddenly, the scene of Sayaka turning into a mermaid witch, where the original friend turned into an enemy, naturally created a very similar counterpart to the information that Okumura Haru already knew.

His own father, Kunikazu Okumura and his witch barrier.

"Could it be that if something goes wrong with that barrier, it will cause serious changes to people in reality?"

"It's not as simple as a change of heart, is it?"

Zhi Xing also made a decision in his heart, and then he looked directly into the eyes revealed by Okumura Haru's mask and said affirmatively:

"Well, it's hard to say how others will change, but your father...will die."

"!!!"

"This is the outcome that fate has already determined. You have no chance to change it."

"How could this happen? I do hope my father can change and take responsibility for what he has done, but that doesn't mean I want him to die."

The flintlock rifle held in Okumura Haru's hands trembled slightly. He connected Zhixing's behavior with Kyubey's behavior and came to a conclusion that was consistent with the basic settings of the two worlds.

"Could it be that the reason you signed the contract with me was to make me... fall into despair?"

"...Yes...so what?"

Zhi Xing looked straight ahead at Okumura Haru with a sincere, unfailing gaze, confirming his choice:

"What can you do in the face of your father's fate?"

It is said that human hearts cannot stand the test.

But for a member of the same destined protagonist group.

Although there was no inheritance such as the golden spirit, Haruya Okumura made his own choice.

"If this is really your purpose, then I will never let you succeed!"

"How to do it? Do I get rid of the other magical girls like Mami did? I have three magical girls under contract with me, and I'm about to sign the third one."

Before Zhi Xing finished speaking, he saw the girl had already raised the gun with one hand and aimed it at him. She answered with a firm look in her eyes:

"If you are using us as sacrifices for some righteous reason like Kyubey did, then I might try to prevent the tragedy from happening and not implicate Sakai-kun."

"But this is clearly for personal reasons. He wants to use me to plunge others into despair. This kind of thing... is absolutely... unforgivable!"

The yellow ribbon spread from the flintlock rifle to behind Okumura Haru, causing him to cover his head as if he heard something and fall to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a collar stood up, as if a piece of clothing came alive, and a three-dimensional image like a transparent man wearing clothes appeared behind Okumura Haru.

"how come..."

Although Kazuyo anticipated that Okumura Haru would be related to Mami Tomoe, he did not expect the appearance of Mami Tomoe's evolved form, the Beauty Witch.

However, the image, which was mainly yellow, with its arms transformed into ribbons and no longer wearing an eyepatch and a fan on its empty head, reminded Zhi Xing all the time that this was an image that should not appear.

After all, in this world, there should only be one season of Madoka Magica, and there should be no corresponding derivative works. After all, the Witch of Beauty is an image that only appears in fan games.

Then the reason that could cause this phenomenon... could only be the little bear... no, it's the repair witch.

As the answer emerged in Zhixing's mind, he immediately chose to leave.

After all, the purpose of watching the mask awakening has been achieved, so there is naturally no need to look at the subsequent results.

"Let's go find them first. Their coordinates are in the impression space."

"If any of those I dragged into this world escape, go to the subway station and guard them. Don't let them get off."

"Wait, this conversation isn't over yet..."

Looking at Okumura Haru who was still in the process of awakening the mask and was unable to attack him.

After explaining the situation, Zhixing took out his cell phone and returned to reality from the palace of Kuniwa Okumura.

"who is it?!"

As soon as he landed in reality, Zhixing met the student council president, Shin Niijima, who had used the key to the broadcasting room to check on the situation because Okumura Haru had wasted too much time.

Of course, the paper bank did not confirm the other party's identity immediately, but only confirmed it after seeing the student file in the other party's hand.

After all, given the other person's personality, he would not allow others to use the file to impersonate him.

"Niijima, really?"

"You are...Sakai Yuuji, the one who called me? Are they okay?"

Zhi Xing shifted his gaze and looked towards the door of the broadcasting room where Okumura Haru might appear.

Realizing that this was not a good place to talk, he immediately said:

"Let me take you to a place where we can talk alone."

Then, as Shinjima took a step back, preparing to counterattack, Zhixing pulled out his phone and opened the app again:

"The court, the casino, Niijima Sae."

"what?"

The red and black ripples appeared again, dragging the two people in the broadcasting room into Niijima Sae's palace.

Not what the paper bank expected.

In Niijima Sae's palace, the scenery and layout of the school rooms are also very complete.

It can be said that among the several halls in the original plot, apart from Kamoshida and Impression Space, these are the only two halls that can incorporate Shujin Academy into their own cognition.

After taking a look at the surroundings, Zhixing was about to say something to Shinjima when he heard him reply:

"Is this my sister's palace? This means that this list is indeed a cover, and your real purpose is me, right?"

"You...know?"

"I know a little bit. After all, I helped them confirm the coordinates of Jincheng Junya's palace. So... what do you need me to do? Open up my sister's psychological defenses?"

Zhi Xing looked at the unexpected reactions of the two people and said without beating around the bush:

"Since you already have this knowledge, then... let me witness the situation of your awakening mask. You haven't awakened yet, right?"

"So that's what you're here for, huh~ I get it. As long as I awaken my personality mask in front of you, you'll let them go, right?"

"What do you mean, can you awaken at any time?"

Even Zhixing, who had just used a misunderstanding to awaken Okumura Haru's mask, was shocked. Can this kind of power that relies on a temporary emotional outburst to awaken be performed at any time?

To this end, Shinjima gave a positive answer with his actions:

"I am you...you are me..."

"I've long been ready to fight."

"You've been patient until now, let's sign the contract, Joan!"

Chapter 278 Contract, Magical Girl, Contract

An ordinary iron mask appeared on Shinjima Makoto's face.

And under the instinctive rejection of Shinjima Makoto, he tore off the mask with his hands.

In an instant, power gushed out from Shinjima Shin's body, causing Zhi Xing to subconsciously take a step back and lean against the wall.

When the beam of light of power gradually dissipated, the Doomsday Overlord appeared in front of Zhixing in his clothes and motorcycle image like a biker.

"How could this happen? What happened?"

Although the original purpose of the paper line was to allow Shinjima Shinya to awaken the mask so that he could refer to it.

But in Zhixing's opinion, awakening can only be achieved through the influence of the witch's kiss.

After all, there was no longer any palace in the school, so naturally there was no way for the student council president to stir up resistance.

But they had just met and hadn't exchanged a few words, but Shinjima Makoto actually said that he would awaken. This really surprised and puzzled Zhixing, who had not yet awakened.

Shin Shinjima, who had just completed his awakening, closed his eyes and felt the power he possessed.

After a while, Shinjima opened his eyes, looked at Zhixing, who had not expressed any opinion to him, and asked:

"What's going on? Can we let them go now?"

Zhixing felt that his mind was a little confused, and his entire thinking was completely destroyed because Xindao really awakened.

"I...I've already sent someone over. Can you first tell me...how did you awaken?"

Shinjima was stunned for a moment, then realized that the paper company probably didn't really take the students as hostages, so after having others confirm that the students disappeared, he asked someone to release them.

After confirming that Zhixing was not really a bad guy, Niijima breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Zhixing:

"I heard from them that I would become their partner in the future you mentioned. So when I was wondering why they broke into the rooftop, I was pulled into their group."

"I learned a lot from them, and also learned about Kamoshida. Thank you very much for your help."

Zhixing's focus was still on the awakening of the personality mask, so he responded nonchalantly:

"I don't deserve any thanks. After all, my fate hasn't changed, has it?"

"The damned are still alive, and what should have been prevented still happened."

"Since you've been in contact with them, you should have heard about it roughly, right?"

Shinjima nodded. Although he didn't want to believe in fate, under Zhixing's one-sided opinion, he could only accept Zhixing's theory of the immutability of fate.

"If you're talking about the future plans of the Nine... Phantom Thieves, then they will indeed follow the same path."

"After all, with your actions, it's unlikely that people in society will turn their attention to the Phantom Thieves."

"So, with the progress of the Impression Space exploration stalled due to the inability to open the entrance to the lower level, the Phantom Thieves can only choose to let everyone get more familiar with the battle."

"And since we need to get familiar with each other, then for me, who will eventually join the Phantom Thieves, training together is also a convenient thing."

Zhi Xing was suddenly shocked, as if he understood what was going on, and he said:

"So... your mask has already awakened a long time ago, right?"

"No, it's just that what you said helped me confirm who my personality mask is."

"And just as I was guessing about Cong An, she was also having a conversation with me in my heart."

Shin Niijima stroked the motorcycle that was transformed from the personality mask in front of him.

Although he had already known about this from the Phantom Thieves, after actually experiencing it, Niijima felt that this car was still very suitable for him.

"So, you were able to awaken the mask right in front of me only after negotiating with the Persona?"

The paper company sorted out the information slightly based on the existing conditions, and came to a conclusion and asked Shinjima Makoto to verify it.

Niijima nodded, confirming Zhixing's guess.

"After discovering my Persona, I originally wanted to meet her to confirm that what the Phantom Thieves said was true."

"But Mona... the talking cat, suggested that I hold off on awakening the mask for now, and awaken it when you come to school."

"Just...that simple?"

"Ah."

Zhixing felt that his expression must be quite strange.

After all, if Mona had memories of the awakening mask, she should have said it before Zhixing awakened.

And if the conditions do not allow, then the only difference between Zhixing and Zhen is that he cannot communicate with his own personality mask.

"Just to confirm, are there no other conditions, and you simply wanted to awaken, so you awakened, or are there other conditions?"

Zhixing frowned and recalled the words that Shinjima Shin mentioned before he awakened.
