Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

I watched as the sparse shadows of people passing by suddenly turned a corner and entered the shadows of the classroom.

Then he looked at the shadow emerging from the earth.

I couldn't help but have a clearer understanding of the fact that I couldn't leave the retrograde.

"Indeed, after all, above this floor is the place where the school judges are held."

"If it follows the pattern of the basement on P5, then there should be an elevator here."

"But when I came down from above, I didn't see any such tall elevators."

After the method of going from bottom to top didn't work here, Zhixing couldn't help but think of what the [Fraudster] had said about Hope's Peak Academy.

"I just heard about the academy. It seems to be here too, right?"

"Ah, that matter is beyond the scope of my investigation, but... as expected of a patron of talent, the one heading this way is Kuzuryuu-kun, who is in charge of investigating Hope's Peak Academy."

Following Komaeda's gaze, Kazuyuki looked back and saw a gangster who was over 1.6 meters tall and a kendo master who was his childhood sweetheart and bodyguard and was always by his side.

"Are you the 'Bystander' who escaped from Hope's Peak Academy? You don't look like someone who has the ability to participate in the incident."

Although in the second generation of the original plot, due to the loss of two years, it still has some immaturity.

However, the [gangster] who did not lose his memory and had sufficient practical experience was still very confident in his judgment of people.

"Should we make him lose the ability to resist first? After all, he seems to have a very unusual relationship with [Despair] in there. If he really has any connection..."

Before the [Kendo Master] could finish his words, the [Gangster] raised his hand to reject his words.

"I heard from the [Trickster] that you're here to look for the [Idol] whose death you replaced with your cognitive existence, right?"

"Well, have you seen her?"

"Well, of course, she disappeared right under my nose."

As one of the targets who had reached the bottom, upon hearing that the "Underworld" held clues, Zhi Xing, though still unable to secure a way to escape, could not help but ask:

"Earlier, Lucky said she fell from the classroom, and then the Trickster said she returned to the academy. How come she disappeared again when it came to you?"

"Are you questioning the Young Master's judgment?"

[Kendo Master] obviously did not have a good impression of Zhi Xing, so he couldn't help but move his fingers and unsheathed the sword he carried with him.

Zhi Xing frowned slightly when he saw the reflection of the sword.

If this happened in reality, Zhixing would not be afraid at all when seeing someone holding a weapon like this.

Not to mention that he had just escaped unscathed from a surprise attack by a [fighter], a [bosozoku], and a [baseball player].

As early as in Conan, after vaguely guessing that the witch was protecting him, Zhixing learned the only skill that would not be affected by the reset in Liangshanpo.

That is the [calmness] that allows one to remain calm even when facing the blade of a sword under the attack of [Weapon Master] Shigure.

Because with the use of master-level weapons, Shi Yu can escape when the weapon is about to touch the paper line, so that only the weapon itself attacks the paper line, and Shi Yu will not be drawn into the witch's barrier.

Similarly, if Zhixing subconsciously dodges because of the weapon, Shigure will take advantage of the flaw and place the weapon in the direction of Zhixing's dodge one step ahead and keep it still.

This is another shortcoming of the witch's barrier, that is, in the face of Paper Line's actions, the barrier cannot change from passive defense to active counterattack.

Just like a paper walker cannot escape underground by stepping on the ground by passing through a wall, active touching will instead cause harm to oneself.

This was the case when he scratched himself with a piece of paper, and it was also the case when Shi Yu cut the paper with a knife.

Therefore, Zhixing's practice at that time was actually mainly to keep himself calm and not move. Once there were too many wounds on his body, he would need to participate in other people's exercises to consume a lot of physical energy in order to trigger the reset.

After all, if it is not triggered, then this injury is just a small matter for the masters, but if it is triggered, then the healing of the wound can be clearly seen.

Unfortunately, such practice was not completed and was interrupted because one should suddenly leave.

Although it doesn't achieve the effect of [Calmness], that's only because I can't control my instincts when a weapon is approaching.

Zhixing just looked at the sword of the [Kendo Master] and guessed that this was something that was bound to the opponent's shadow like his talent. He ignored the opponent's threat of force and looked at the [Yakuza].

As their eyes met, neither of them spoke, as if they had suddenly turned into a competition where whoever blinked first would lose.

"Crack!"

A crisp shutter sound drew Zhixing's attention away from the confrontation.

"Okay, is this the time to talk about this? If we don't hurry up, there's no telling what will happen to the idol's junior."

"[Super High School Level Photographer]?"

Seeing the girl who also held a special weapon suddenly appear, Zhixing couldn't help but glance around and then locked his eyes on the other party's Polaroid camera.

"No, no, this is my only support. Don't try to take advantage of me."

The cameraman shook the camera in his hand, as if he knew why Zhi Xing was looking at it, but then he opened one eye and said to Zhi Xing:

"But if you want to trade with me, I can give you this photo. How about that?"

"Transaction? Is it a contract?"

Zhixing became a little serious after hearing this. After all, contracts were something that Zhixing Conan was not familiar with and needed to experiment with. However, for people in the cognitive world, it was an instinct that everyone would know. Zhixing raised his eyebrows and was about to agree, but he didn't expect the [Cameraman] to wave his hands and said with a smile:

"No, please spare me the contract or anything. I just wanted to imitate it. So, I'll give you this photo. You should rescue your idol school girl as soon as possible. You must have done this to save her."

As he spoke, he took out the photo and handed it to the paper merchant as he walked over.

It is not a good habit to refuse others, especially gifts from high school girls who no longer have the pockmarked faces of puberty.

He took the photo from the paper clip and looked at himself staring at the [gangster] in the photo. The [kendoka] next to him had already unsheathed his sword and looked ready to attack at any time.

In the background of the two people looking at each other, as if by coincidence, only the classroom with 4 rows of seats was reflected in the photo. And in this classroom with a background board, the nurse wearing a black and white bear mask was on the other side of the paper, looking in the direction of [Kendo Master].

Zhixing immediately turned around, but found that the black and white bear nurses did not notice the location of Zhixing and others. They were just following their job to clear the shadows who were unable to write the test papers.

"Well, come with me. It's just right for me to see how you got in."

Seeing the intervention of the [Cameraman], the [Gangster] stopped trying and headed straight towards the direction explored by the investigation of Hope's Peak Academy, which he was responsible for.

Seeing this, Zhixing stopped looking at the classroom and followed the two second-generation protagonists. After going a long distance, he saw the first floor of Hope's Peak Academy, which was similar to the real thing.

"Is this Hope's Peak Academy? Where the [idol] disappeared?"

"Yes, this is Hope's Peak Academy in reality, but... this teaching building is not only as sturdy as the real one, but more importantly... it has no doors."

Under the guidance of the [Yakuza], Zhi Xing came to the place where the school gate should have been, but now it has become a wall. He couldn't help but look at the huge black and white bear secret treasure facing this side.

"A velvet room built on everyone's cognition?"

It was as if a wall fixed to the space blocked the entry of the [Underworld].

But for the [onlooker] who has the ability to [walk through walls], it only takes a few seconds.

Come to think of it, the Velvet Room is sealed, so it's on the bottom floor.

Although Hope's Peak Academy is just a wall now, maybe I can really rely on the witch's barrier to ignore those seals that don't have spatial abilities?

While Zhixing was guessing, he disappeared from the sight of the [Yakuza] and [Kendoka].

Chapter 312 [Onlookers] are watching

Passing through the unknown wall that enveloped the academy, Zhi Xing stood quietly, waiting for the distorted vision to return to normal.

After the twisted lines stopped wriggling for a few seconds, Zhi Xing opened his eyes, closed them, rubbed them, and then opened them again to look at the scene that was vaguely visible in the darkness. He couldn't help but stretch his body to make sure he was not stuck in the wall, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Is it that thick? I thought it was just a wall."

As early as when I learned from Conan that I could actively leave the witch's barrier and activate [Wall Passage], Zhixing had a lot of guesses about this skill.

After all, there is no weakest ability, only people with weak abilities.

Although the principle of [Wall-penetration] is to turn the surrounding space into the space of the witch's barrier, so that the obstacles that should have been in front disappear, the paper line can move forward over the obstacles in front to the coordinates inside the wall.

However, this wall-penetrating method has a big drawback, that is, there is also a floor when entering the witch's barrier, so no matter how you pass through the wall, you cannot escape underground, and no matter which direction the paper faces, you cannot change the horizontal direction of the ground.

But on the other hand, the witch's barrier has another magical feature, that is, when returning to reality from the barrier, there will be no collision with the surrounding objects, causing the space ability user to get stuck in the wall and suffer psychological trauma.

Zhixing also used this principle to successfully climb to the second floor by relying on the wall during the pursuit of several super high school-level people at that time.

Zhixing originally wanted to rely on this feature to truly achieve space teleportation, rather than the slow method of walking in another space where one moves as far as they walk.

In order to try this kind of change, the paper behavior, under the supervision of the masters of Liangshanpo, deliberately aimed at the back mountain of Liangshanpo, preparing to rely on the mountain far above the ground to teleport across the mountain.

That is, when Zhi Xing came to the place where there were originally rocks and mud, although the uphill road turned into a straight road in the witch's barrier, he never expected that choosing to go back to the witch's barrier did not achieve the expected effect.

Obviously, whether going directly up to the top of the mountain or going directly through the entire mountain to the other side of the mountain, Zhixing can accept it.

Although the witch's barrier did begin to twist as Zhi Xing returned, what he ultimately appeared on was not the other side of the mountain, but a relatively darker location.

Because there was no light from an unknown source above the factory, Zhihang once thought that there was a cave in the mountain, so he got off the bus halfway.

But after calling out the little bear's name, a series of doors with girlish paintings appeared in front of him and he was taken to the witch's room. Only then did Zhixing realize that he had not left the barrier.

After choosing to go back in the witch's room, Zhi Xing reappeared not far from the starting point.

Although it seemed that he had teleported to a random location, Zhixing was unwilling to give up the opportunity of not having to run himself, and wanted to experiment again to find out the reason for the failure.

Another breakthrough came when Zhixing followed Master Qiuyu's training, stood on the plum blossom pile, and successfully walked blindly from the plum blossom pile under his feet to another plum blossom pile.

The masters, whose physical functions could not be improved and whose skills could not be transformed into muscle instincts, did not miss this change and opened a reverse plum blossom pile training ground for the paper company.

So Zhi Xing conducted experiments on entering and exiting the witch's barrier from deep pits like checkers at varying distances.

Zhixing gladly accepted this and stood in a one-meter-high pit dug by the masters. He launched a frequent information bombardment on the little bear towards the designated location and successfully used the witch's barrier to reach another deep pit.

There were countless times when a deep pit appeared on the ground before the destination was reached, and as the pit got deeper and deeper, Zhixing was able to confirm the maximum distance he could move underground.

Since the location of entering the witch's barrier is not certain, after taking the average value, we came to the conclusion that when there is an obstacle at the exit point about 10 meters away and it is the only exit point, teleportation can be achieved by relying on spatial changes.

If you exceed the distance, you will not be able to return to reality, or if you are halfway there and find that the road is wrong, you will be pulled back into the witch's barrier.

In order to be able to move, that place must be the only exit. Otherwise, one will only land in the up, down, front, back, left, and right positions of the point where one is returning, which is no different from walking in another space.

As a result of this ability development, Zhixing was unable to profit from it and could only adapt to the feeling of continuous running and extreme running.

After all, when traveling normally, there is no obstacle that can be used. There is really no way to teleport in this way, and you can only rely on walking.

After all, even if you enter a full manhole cover, there are too many manhole covers nearby and not every one of them has obstacles, so it is better to run a few more steps than to waste time going down.

After seeing the abnormally dark environment in the academy, Zhixing guessed that he was not able to enter the academy, but because the door was too thick, he came to the witch's barrier.

Zhixing took two steps forward, intending to rely on his legs to walk the estimated distance outside and enter the academy.

But just after taking two steps, he suddenly realized a problem.

Since the previous experiment on [Wall-Passing] took place in Kenichi's world, it is still possible to appear in a dark place. After all, it is a secondary randomness.

But after gaining the qualification to enter the cognitive world, every time you enter the witch's barrier from the cognitive world, there will be a corresponding projection behind you.

This projection should at least have light, right?

Zhi Xing couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction he came from. There was no projection, but instead there was a vague outline of a big circle inside a small circle.

"this is..."

Zhi Xing squinted his eyes, trying to adjust them to the dark environment, and then he heard the sounds of two machines running from above the two sides of the big circle.

"...It's at the main gate of the academy!"

Although he was still unable to identify the surrounding environment, the paper shop, which had originally entered from the main gate, had already had some expectations of this hall in his mind. Therefore, he did not stay for too long. While retreating to the back, he used [Sightseeing] to avoid the attack of the two mechanical voices.

If I'm not mistaken, it's the machine gun guarding the gate to prevent students from violently breaking through the wall and escaping.

Although this is the cognitive world and I can use [Sightseeing] to avoid the machine guns here, if I am not mistaken, then this place is somewhat similar to the Velvet Room. It is the only elevator at the bottom of the impression space that can directly lead to the real world.

Because [Sightseeing] failed to return to the initial coordinates at the bottom of the impression space, in a place like the Velvet Room, in addition to returning to one's dormitory, there is also the possibility of appearing directly in the real hall, so... it is better to return directly to the witch's barrier first.

There was no intention of using the machine gun to test the reaction speed of the witch's barrier. Zhi Xing returned to the witch's barrier when the gunshot rang out.

As soon as his vision returned, Zhixing turned around to look at the projection behind him. After seeing that the machine gun was indeed started, Zhixing listened to the surrounding sounds very vigilantly and left his original position, fearing that the bullet would follow him.

However, it was not until the projected machine gun stopped firing that Zhixing was sure of his safety.

Not only did the bullets not follow, but there was not even the sound of bullets firing from other places.

After confirming his own safety, Zhixing looked at the image on the projection, and probably confirmed his distance from the gate from the flash of the gunfire just now, and then used his feet instead of a ruler to walk towards the corridor outside.

"Let me go back."

After estimating that he was already in the corridor, Zhi Xing whispered to Witch's Kiss.

The change in vision brought in the light from outside.

While waiting for his vision to return, Zhixing looked towards the elevator leading to the class referee, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to figure out a way to leave, first fish out the body of the [baseball player] from below, and then go look for the whereabouts of the [idol] shadow.

But after the vision was restored, the paper line did return to the school corridor and did not go beyond the first floor.
