Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"Then, when the witch's barrier was broken and the magical girl was killing randomly, it was naturally impossible for her to deliberately leave behind anything that could preserve the memory spark. Instead, some familiars that could form independent barriers were randomly out of the magical girl's attack range."

"How can a familiar that appears randomly become a being with the same memories as a witch?"

"The witch's entire memory is hidden within the magic power? I used to think so."

"However, if the familiar is also part of the human race, the wish system can also be applied to it."

"A wish needs a clear object, doesn't it?"

"So what's the one targeting the witch? No, to be more precise, the one targeting that girl?"

"Sign a contract with me and become a magical girl!"

Zhixing's mouth opened slightly, revealing the joy of bullying himself.

Anyway, there is no way to verify it, so the paper line is naturally outrageous. As long as my future self thinks in the wrong direction for a moment, it will be enough to achieve the goal.

And the paper industry, which knows that this is just fictional reasoning, will not fall into despair. It is a win-win situation!

"The target is a girl, and the goal is to become a magical girl."

"If Kyubey makes this wish, how will the story unfold?"

"The later definition cannot cover the original meaning, so whether it's Witch Trial or magical girl anime, they can't change the fact that witches are witches in Kyubey's cognition, and magical girls are magical girls in Kyubey's cognition."

"And this theory can answer questions I've never understood before, such as the price of a wish, why magical girls get into trouble first, and why the person to whom the wish was made only gets into trouble after the magical girl survives for a long time. And why it's impossible to wish to become a magical girl."

"It's not difficult to deduce further based on this."

"Why is it that even though both girls are determined by the wish to restore their identities, there can only be one witch at a time?"

"Why was it that when Madoka attracted the Space Witch, Kyubey arrived at the scene faster than Homura, who made a wish to meet Madoka?"

"Also, since love is clearly the magic power, why are they using a witch's trick of familiars, barriers, and scene arrangement?"

"Magical girl is a nickname Kyubey gave to people based on their understanding of the region, but witch is the same in reality. Whether it is a magical girl or a familiar, the final form is still a witch."

"Perhaps Kyubey's wish is to fulfill a wish of this format at the cost of *** becoming a witch?"

"After all, the technology behind wishing is in Kyubey's hands. It's only natural for Kyubey to add a precondition to make your wish come true, right? In that case, it's understandable that Kyubey couldn't stop Madoka's wish. After all, Kyubey had already been targeting Madoka before she made her wish. All that was left was waiting for the girl's wish to come true, nothing more."

"If this wish is fulfilled, then the so-called witch energy collection will become less important. After all, the wish has already been fulfilled for the first time, becoming a magical girl. As for the second time to officially become a witch, that's fine, but I won't force it if I don't. There's no longer the urgency that existed when the contract was signed."

"So the magical girl's defeat and death is also a gain for Kyubey, but it's not a big gain."

"The only problem is that this is no different from Kyubey offering a suggestion. Both involve Kyubey's karma in the fulfillment of the wish. After all, when a girl makes a wish, she will be rewarded with the ability to grant a wish, so Kyubey should also benefit from it."

"A race devoid of emotion and possessing only rationality lacks the desire to survive or the thirst for knowledge, and therefore will not act for the sake of entropy, nor experiment out of curiosity. As the holder of the black technology of wishing, it is inevitable that their race will frequently use this black technology."

"If a girl becomes a witch and can make her wish come true, it's because she bears the disaster brought about by the distortion of making a wish."

"So, is there a clear disaster with a specific numerical value that needs to be resolved on Kyubey's side?"

Zhixing stretched himself, listened to the correct translation from his phone, smiled, shook his head, and muttered:

"I'll just leave this question here. I'm definitely not going to be idle anyway. When the magical girls are watching, I'll actively follow my thoughts and think about it."

"How can something like entropy be completely filled?"

Zhixing stood up and was about to deal with the urge to go to the toilet that he had been holding back for a whole day when a voice came out unexpectedly.

"The term 'entropy' was chosen simply to make it easier for the girl to understand. After all, we can't make unrealistic statements to a child who's still learning, right?"

Zhi Xing suddenly turned sideways, but he couldn't see Kyubey's figure. He took a martial arts stance, looked around, and warned:

"Tomorrow is Witch Night, what are you doing here now? I was just saying this casually, don't interrupt!"

The sound that was too hard for the paper to hear and locate was transmitted through the vibrating air, making the sound of human speech:

"I'm not sure how much knowledge you have, but you're old enough to work and earn a salary, so you should be familiar with the law of conservation of energy."

Kyubey seized on the information revealed by Zhi Xing due to his relaxation, and ignored Zhi Xing's attempts to stop him, changing his words:

"The energy absorbed by trees as they grow is also being consumed. Therefore, when used as firewood, although it still cannot be fully utilized and a large amount of non-combustible energy is lost, this is compared to the energy before burning, not the total energy used for growth."

“Every time energy is converted, some of it cannot be fully converted and becomes wasted and useless energy.”

"This constant accumulation of energy is the heat death brought about by entropy. This means that the entire living space, the entire universe, will be devoid of usable resources, and will be nothing but useless energy that can no longer be used."

"The idea that atoms can't move, can't fuse or fission, can't form matter—these are all definitions of useless energy."

Kyubey observed Zhi Xing's expression, remotely monitoring his heart rate, hormone distribution, and brainwave activation points. He lowered his head, looking at the encrypted resource text on the desk and the open wish rules beside it, and then explained:

"Given the current level of human technology, even in a fantasy future, it's impossible to utilize this dead energy."

"After all, humankind's current technology still draws on nature for reference, and nature doesn't have any points that can reverse entropy for reference."

The notebook floated up out of thin air, drawing the paper's attention to the desk. At a glance, he saw the wish rules (8/10) that he had summarized on the current page.

"He studied the key points of wish-making and then mentioned the word entropy."

"While I'm not sure what you're thinking right now, I do know there's been a similar precedent. Someone attempted to solve the entropy problem by wishing us away. Would you like to hear about it?"

Zhi Xing faced the desk, looking at the notepad that showed Kyubey's presence, and retreated towards the door while answering:

"No, seeing that you're still here, I know that wishes are too limited. After all, wishes are either the charity of the powerful or special transactions. There's always a limit to what they can do."

"Really don't you want to refer to it? Maybe it will help you with what you're thinking about now. A person's thinking is always limited. Only through communication and comparison can new ideas come to mind. Isn't that what Conan thinks?"

Zhixing did not answer, but retreated to the hall and looked at Xiaoyan's room, who was resting with the door closed. He began to wonder whether he should wake Xiaoyan up to stop Kyubey, who might only talk but not take action.

"I see. So, it's another situation. Conan has realized that the contract is also a wish."

"what?!"

Zhi Xing turned around and saw the notebook floating in the air. He then realized that he might be beaten by Kyubey, so he quickly turned back to look at Xiao He's door and said in a disguised manner:

"How did you come up with this? And, is that contract really a wish?"

Under Kyubey's all-around surveillance, even a soldier who had been trained in lying could not hide his first reaction, let alone a paper merchant who had flexible employment after internship.

Kyubey raised his permanent W-shaped mouth and spoke towards the paper line:

"The only thing that can be linked to entropy and wishes, rather than magical girls, is the question of why someone would take a detour to achieve their goal when they have the power to grant wishes that could accomplish anything."

"Since you're not considering resolving it by wishing for it yourself, you can only wonder why we didn't resolve it by wishing for it."

"So if we think about it from the perspective of price, it's not hard to conclude that a contract is a wish. However, it seems that you didn't think of it this way, Edogawa Conan."

Kyubey looked at the feedback from Paper Line's body and denied his initial judgment halfway through his speech.

"Where did you get that knowledge? I'm very interested."

"Don't you already know that I'm from the future?"

The floating notebook slowly lowered itself, and Kyubey retorted as he jumped off the desk.

"Indeed, if we go back in time, it's only a matter of time before we gain this knowledge. We'll realize it sooner or later."

"But you're not a true time traveler, are you, Kudo Shinichi?"

Zhixing felt a heaviness on his shoulders, and a huge white tail emerged, blocking his sight. Then Kyubey turned around, exposing his red eyes to Zhixing's field of vision.

"Let's put aside the reasons why you, as an outsider, can keep up with Homura Akemi, but it's obvious that you can't retain your memories from the previous world."

"If you hadn't found the phone of a victim of the Witch's Kiss while Asami was destroying the familiar, you wouldn't even know about magical girls."

"It's precisely because they didn't know we existed that they carelessly exposed their browsing history and even showed their surprise without reservation."

"After becoming aware of our existence, they began to consciously speak less and even used some crude encryption where writing was necessary."

"These actions, besides revealing that you are not from this future, also show one thing."

Kyubey easily jumped, dodging the high-five that even a mosquito could dodge, and continued to recount the past history:

"You knew about the magical girl and our existence from the beginning, and you came here alone out of nowhere. It wasn't because of the girl's wish, but because you were completely confused."

"This kind of appearance has precedent. For example, in order to break the powerful Magical Girl Empire, the weak girl did not dare to confront it directly with her wish. She could only place her hope in the future, hoping that a brave man who could end the atrocities would come to save us. Such a wish summoned someone from the future who had studied and understood history, and who also knew the history of magical girls."

"Under the leadership of this prophet, the Divide Strike disintegrated the empire's rule, and after fulfilling their wish, they returned to their own future."

As the applause from Zhi Xing's pursuit came, Kyubey jumped and disappeared from Zhi Xing's sight, but the sound still lingered in his ears.

“When there’s precedent to refer to, your origins are all the more special.”

"It's clear that it was only Homura Akemi who made the unknown wish, but you weren't summoned by her wish."

"And if it was another girl in the future who made the wish, then the one following Homura Akemi now should be that magical girl herself."

After losing track of Kyubey, Zhi Xing stood at the doorway between the hall and the room, frowning and asking:

"What on earth are you doing here? You're not the type to show up for no reason."

"Then I'll just say it straight."

Kyubey stood in front of the paper shop, looking at the room at the other end of the hall, and said in a calm tone:

"Homura Akemi didn't tell you that Sakura Kyoko was killed in action, did she?"

Chapter 116: Wishing Rules (Part 2)

"Impossible, how could there be an accident at this point in time?"

Zhixing frowned, and the first thing that came to his mind was the fan work of the Prophecy Cult, which predicted the disaster of Witch Night, so he came to Takihara to destroy Madoka.

But there was only one day left, so why would they come now? From the prophecy to the future scenes, to the moment when his companions were about to collapse and transform into witches, it seemed like a mid-term crisis was imminent.

"Sure enough, the purpose of Homura Akemi keeping you here is not for these so-called information, otherwise, she would not have concealed the matter of Sakura Kyoko."

"Are you trying to say that Kyoko was murdered in front of Homura? Did Asami become a witch?"

"You shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing. You should ask the person involved. There's no need to continue the conversation."

Zhi Xing subconsciously looked back at Xiao Yan's room when he heard this. Seeing that the door was still closed, he asked:

"Don't you always answer questions? Why are you evading them? You didn't really show up just to talk about this, did you? I gave up on this Witch Night a long time ago."

But no one answered.

After Zhixing asked this question, he waited for a while, but did not hear any reply from Kyubey. He looked around in confusion, trying to find Kyubey.

"Are you still there? Have you left?"

But after searching the room, Paper Line did not touch Kyubey's body.

Zhixing sat back down at the desk and checked the time on his phone.

"17:41"

Zhixing took a deep breath and looked at the empty room again.

"Calm down. Just because I haven't found Kyubey yet doesn't mean he's gone away. Maybe he's just not talking and is watching my performance. Don't act too calm and don't reveal your thoughts."

Zhixing looked at the notebook that had been opened to the wishing rules, picked it up, and pretended to be rethinking items 9 and 10 to distract himself so that he was not disturbed by Kyubey's words.

"If something happened to Anzu and Homura knew about it, then it could only have happened yesterday. After all, Homura got out of school at the same time as Madoka, and when she came back she found Asami missing, so she went out to look for her."

"Only at that time can I meet Xingzi."

"I went out with Mami the night before yesterday, and Homura didn't go home the day before yesterday, so I didn't notice anything unusual in Mami's room. So it couldn't have been the apostle Mami who did it. After all, the apostle Mami had been gone for a day before Homura started to leave. A battle between magical girls can't last that long..."

"Unless..." Zhixing thought of a possibility, picked up the phone, but finally put it down.

"How is that possible? No matter how outrageous the apostles are, they are restored according to their names. So ordinary people will only have ordinary apostles. There is no way they can survive without food and drink."

"Similarly, there's no way Asami from Magical Girl would have infinite magic power to drag the battle out until Homura joins."

"So, Sayaka is long gone, Asami poses no threat, the witch from yesterday was the closest, and the familiar can't threaten Kyoko at all. Even an ordinary magical girl can't stand up to Kyoko, so how could she be in any danger?"

Zhixing was lost in thought, his hand holding the phone unconsciously following the repetitive action of the past few hours. He opened the novel reader on his phone and read aloud the text in front of him without even looking at it.

“8. Wishes should be closer to the literal meaning rather than the artificial meaning given to them.”

"Oh, wrong one."

The voice woke Zhixing from his distracted thoughts. Just as he was about to pause the voice playback, he heard the voice continue without stopping:

9. Don't wish for the answer to a question. You might get the answer, but it won't be the optimal solution. After all, there's only one correct path, but countless paths close to it.

"10. Don't wish for a price! Don't wish for a price! Remember rule 1!"

Zhixing rubbed his ears in disbelief. As the phone finished playing the scanned part, he couldn't help but look at the text. It was clearly in Chinese, but because he was in a half-asleep and half-awake state, the text was not only scribbled, but even the words did not express the meaning. He could actually translate it.

"So translations don't only involve foreign languages ​​I can't understand? Doesn't that mean I can directly translate classical Chinese?"

Zhixing shook his head and threw out books such as "Tao Te Ching", "Diamond Sutra", "I Ching", "Liu Yao", "Qi Men Dun Jia" and so on from his imagination.
