Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"Not going back? What happened over there?"

"Nothing happened, it's still the same, except..."

Inspector Megure seemed to be hesitant to speak, which made Zhixing feel annoyed. He could only continue:

"Just what?"

Inspector Megure pressed his hat down, somewhat reluctant to speak out, and the two police officers who followed him took over the topic:

"It seems the Foreign Affairs Department has connected your ability to come and go freely from the police station with the unsolved mystery surrounding the shooting suspect you witnessed. They think... you killed him."

Although Zhixing didn't quite understand the reason, he knew that he definitely couldn't go to a place where he was regarded as the murderer, at least not now.

"Why did I come to this conclusion? Do I need to do this?"

The officer on the other side noticed that Inspector Megure's vision was blocked by his companion, so he moved a little and carefully leaned close to the paper-maker's ear and whispered:

"Because the detention room where you slept that night was less than 100 meters away from the detention room where the suspect was temporarily detained, there would have been no suspicion because the walls separating them were airtight. However, when you ignored the wall..."

Zhi Xing grabbed the police officer and confirmed in disbelief:

"What did you just say? How far away are I from him?"

"Well, about 100 meters, after all, no one knows how to calculate the distance with all kinds of walls, it's just a rough estimate."

Zhixing took a deep breath, and a terrible guess emerged in his heart, but the guess was just a guess, so it did not stop Zhixing from verifying it.

"So...where did the bullet that killed the prisoner come from?"

After these words were spoken, the two people who were originally explaining the situation to the paper company fell silent.

"Stop talking about it. These are just speculations. There is no substantial evidence."

Inspector Megure, who had just been acting on suspicion, turned around, stopped his subordinates from speaking, and then looked at Zhixing and said:

"We've verified every clue you just provided. If they had delayed the investigation for a day, allowing the victim to survive past Wednesday, the current criminal would have boarded a plane and left, leaving us completely helpless. This proves you're a good person."

After Inspector Megure finished speaking, he saw that the words confirming the paper operation had not worked, and then raised a question:

"However, your source of information is indeed quite strange. A case normally reported wouldn't have so many details."

"For example, the person currently in the interrogation room bears no resemblance to the victim, simply because of his similarity in build and appearance. He himself is completely unaware of the situation."

"If this case were to be reported, they wouldn't have included the fact that the detective followed him for several days and impersonated the victim. Instead, they would have simply stated that the murderer deliberately created the illusion that the victim was still alive, delaying his death and thus escaping with insurance fraud. Something like that."

"Mr. Kamijou Touma, could you please explain where you got this detailed information?"

Inspector Megure raised his doubts in a roundabout way, and was almost saying that Zhixing was lying. He said that these might be what Zhixing saw with his own eyes, or he might even have framed him personally.

But Zhixing ignored Inspector Megure's questions and raised his left hand to cover his left neck. He knew that he couldn't feel the difference, but he still couldn't help but confirm it.

Then a hint of happiness began to appear on Zhixing's face, and he even muttered:

"So it was my fault. What a blessing in disguise."

When he realized that Conan's worldview partially overlapped with Madoka Magica, Zhixing felt a little desperate because this represented the upper limit of his ability.

Whether it is traveling to the past of Madoka Magica's timeline and experiencing Conan's plot, or more simply, because of his own ideas, he created a barrier of Conan's story, which is full of familiars that he cannot recognize, acting out the plot he is familiar with.

What's more, Zhixing even suspected that he had come to the future of the Warcraft arc. Because Xiaoyan had lost her target Madoka, but had memories of being with her, she made a wish to the girl, hoping to see Conan, no, Kudo Shinichi. As a result, a time turbulence barrier was formed here.

After all, Zhixing hadn't told Xiaoyan his real name when he left, so it's not impossible that he made the wrong wish.

But he is 100 meters away from me. Doesn’t that mean that the calculation is based on me as the starting point?

If that's the case, then all the changes so far make sense. As expected, the only variable is me. It's because of my arrival that I brought the Witch's Kiss... no, the familiar, so the situation is different.

I should have thought of it earlier. I was clearly aware that I might be wearing a virus, so the virus I brought might bring some uncontrollable impacts to the society that is not immune to this virus, so I only chose modern and contemporary backgrounds.

Unexpectedly, this virus was beyond my expectation. It actually brought the familiar here. If I remember correctly, only the familiar level can produce the Witch's Kiss.

No, I didn't hear the witch's voice, and there's no proof yet. Maybe we're still in Madoka Magica, but there's hope! There's hope of proving this isn't the Madoka Magica world! That way, I can still go to other worlds without worrying about being stuck in Madoka Magica, where my power limit is locked.

Yes, the final boss of Madoka Magica was just smashing high-rise buildings like a normal attack. Only if I can really travel to other worlds, I will be able to steadily gain the power to solve Kyubey's problem.

Now all I have to do is prove it, as long as I can find evidence to prove that the murder case in the police station was caused by the demon in my body.

Zhi Xing selectively ignored the consequences of the spread of the Witch's Kiss on her body, and concentrated on convincing herself that the appearance of the familiar was a good thing, so as to avoid being accidentally controlled by the Witch's Kiss due to excessive thinking in this world without magical girls.

Inspector Megure watched Shixing muttering something unclear under his breath. While he was still thinking about how to get information out of Shixing, a police officer knocked on the door and came in to report:

"Inspector! We've found a witness. The community security guard can confirm that Abe Yutaka drove out on Tuesday night and met the victim at a bar he frequently frequented. He hasn't returned to the community since then. Judging by his route, he likely went to Gunma Prefecture, then headed straight to the company and then to the airport with his employees."

"Very good. Immediately investigate the surveillance cameras near the bar and report this information to the local police station to test the criminal's reaction."

Inspector Megure gave orders for the next steps, then took the police officer's investigation records and left the communications room while reading them.

The two police officers looked at each other and were about to follow after him with the stunned paper-line when they saw Inspector Megure turn around and say to them:

"I'm going out on an investigation right now, so there's no need to bring Kamijou-san with you. Just put him in the same room as before. We'll continue this discussion when I return."

"Yes!"

After watching Inspector Megure leave, the two police officers breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the paper bank whose reaction was a little abnormal.

"What should we do? Should we send it over?"

"I have no choice but to take it with me. Otherwise, what else can I do?"

"But he's very close to the suspect this time. What if..."

"Shh! Didn't I tell you that it was just a guess? Don't take it seriously... Otherwise, let's take turns watching him. Anyway, it seems like we won't be assigned any tasks today."

Zhi Xing, who had come out of his thoughts, heard the conversation between the two clearly, so he asked to divert their attention:

"Don't even think about it. No matter who it is, I would never kill anyone. I have no reason to do such a thing."

The police officer heard the paper shop's rebuttal and saw that there was no superior around, so he immediately retorted:

"It's not uncommon for someone like you to indulge in unprovoked pleasure. Murderers who commit crimes solely out of momentary pleasure are the worst kind of people."

Zhi Xing had already determined that the case at the police station was caused by his familiar, so he explained the misunderstanding caused by not understanding familiars:

"It's not necessarily a momentary happiness, it could be driven by instinct."

"Instinct? What kind of instinct would cause harm to others for no reason?"

"Of course, it's for survival?"

The paper company's explanation had just begun when it was forced to be interrupted.

Because the paper industry realized that it had overlooked a serious problem.

The actions of a familiar are never as simple as replenishing energy for survival. There is also an instinct that drives independent familiars to inflict the Witch's Kiss on others.

That is... the instinct to become a witch!

Chapter 141 Of course I need the help of the magical girl

"What's wrong? You can't find an excuse, right? You're still trying to survive. This is a peaceful society, and no one will force or threaten your survival."

A police officer accused Zhixing, and it was obvious that he also agreed that Zhixing might be the murderer, but he had no evidence.

But Zhixing was not in the mood to pay attention to the other party, but felt a heavy pressure.

How many people are there already?

It only takes 3-5 people for a familiar to grow into a witch. How many people are there among the people I have come into contact with now?

The second bullet was indeed fired by the criminal at himself, but the criminal died from the same bullet. I'm afraid the demon's barrier had already appeared at that time.

The reason for the appearance of the familiar barrier... is of course that death was discovered nearby. In the original drama, the TV witch can accept Madoka without the Witch's Kiss, which means that even if the death is not caused by the Witch's Kiss, the familiar can still accept it, as long as it happens within the range of the barrier.

I already know of two scenarios, but is there a third one? Does the body in the idol's room, which has been there for so long, count?

Familiars, like witches, are made up of the souls of magical girls, so the life they need is also the soul, which is why they destroy the physical body in order to feed on it.

As a suicide, will his soul still be there?

I remember that there seemed to be an episode in "Detective Conan" where the show was traveling somewhere and it seemed like the show could meet the soul of a girl. This shows that souls do exist in this world, but we just can't see them.

Damn it, I actually chose this place. I was careless and didn’t consider this situation.

Zhixing frowned deeply. As early as the beginning, when Zhixing heard that other people were immune to the witch's kiss, he had guessed that the witch's magic power would remain in the human soul. Only in this way could one develop resistance to the witch's kiss of other witches.

For some unknown reason, perhaps it was a soul from another world, the influence of a wish, or even his own personality, Zhixing himself was not immune, but was instead given the Witch's Kiss again and again.

Homura was used to this, and could even plan ahead to eliminate the familiars bred by the accumulated despair of the paper line.

However, this was the first time that Zhixing knew about this kind of thing, and he was attracted by what Xiaoyan said, so Zhixing didn't take it seriously at all. After all, Xiaoyan would also pay attention to him in the next round.

The two police officers exchanged a few words in front of Zhixing, but when they saw that Zhixing had no reaction, they looked at each other, grabbed Zhixing's left and right sides again, and took Zhixing to the detention room of the first night. This time, the iron door was still not closed.

Zhixing slowly sat down on the bed. Although he didn't look deliberately, he could confirm from the sound alone that the two policemen had just left the room and stayed in the hall and did not leave.

"Looks like I made the wrong decision. I really shouldn't trust improvisations. No, being here is inherently uncertain, so consider it an experiment. Experiments are a constant process of trial and error, and that's perfectly normal."

Zhi Xing covered his head, trying to comfort himself for his mistake, and then analyzed the current situation:

"The current situation is that the familiar within me might suddenly transform into a Seed of Sorrow at any moment. Therefore, I must ensure that I don't encounter the dead again, not even close to them."

"My plan to make money with Conan has completely failed. After all, if I don't contact the victim, how can I get the information fee? Even in the Golden Villa, there is indeed a life."

"Maybe I should just forget about Conan and the police situation, find the location of the Golden Villa online, and then go there and wait until I can return?"

Although it was just analysis, Zhixing still felt that the future was uncertain.

If we infer the conditions of watching Witch Night in reverse, the figure we saw when we returned should also be a condition.

But how does this happen? When? Where? Are there any prerequisites?

"What the hell? Why are there things like this that aren't in the original story? Isn't Detective Conan about the world of science? They should just be ordinary people. If it's not from Madoka Magica, is it some kind of hallucination?"

"Hey, it's about time you show up, Kyubey!"

Zhixing looked at the empty space around him, waited for a while, and then suddenly stretched out his hand and swept across the place where Kyubey might be standing.

But there was nothing but air.

"Tsk, how am I supposed to tell the difference? I told them I was from the future, and they didn't question it too much, but they also didn't mention magic. So I only explained it to Conan, Ran, and Takagi that it was magic."

"Does the police here even know if there are magical girls in this world?"

Carrying suspicions without evidence, Zhixing spent the afternoon in this anxious mood. The situation did not change until the arrival of Inspector Megure after dinner.

"Do you want to see the witness who's pretending to be the victim?"

Inspector Megure sat outside the room and looked at the papers in the detention room to confirm.

"Yes, he should still be here. Can I see him?"

"However, we have already investigated and found out that the gentleman himself had no knowledge of the situation and only took on this job of impersonating someone else out of greed for money."

"You mean, he's gone?"

Zhi Xing asked with some embarrassment.

"No, he's still in the police station, but he's not a suspect, and you're not involved in any of the incidents. So the rules don't allow you to meet him. It involves his personal privacy."

Inspector Megure once again rejected Kameyama's request. This was the third request since Inspector Megure came here.

The first two conditions were to see the information about the murder case in the police station and to get back his luggage that was taken away by the Foreign Affairs Section 2, but he failed to agree to either.

Zhihang spread his hands and said helplessly:

"Look, I've already changed several conditions, but you haven't met any of them. So I have no other options."

"So you're not telling the truth? Everything you said before was fabricated by Kamijou-san to conceal the source of your information. Is that right?"

Inspector Megure asked seriously. Although he did not believe the explanation given by Jixing's future man, Jixing's behavior could indeed be explained by knowing that the case had occurred.

First, there was the Yoko Okino case that people had been waiting for, and then there is the 500 million insurance now. It seems as if the outcome is known before it even happens.

If the criminal over there had not admitted that he was the murderer in the face of evidence, Inspector Megure might have considered Jixing as a suspect. After all, the murderer is not the only one who does not have an alibi.

Inspector Megure deduced from this line of thought and discovered that in the case of the second bullet, in which Kazuyuki was an eyewitness, he seemed to have also proved to the police that he was an eyewitness by telling the time of the crime.

Therefore, although Zhixing wanted to wait for seven consecutive successful predictions to ensure his credibility, Inspector Megure could not wait any longer. There were three confirmed cases, so to be on the safe side, he had to rule out the possibility of other people being involved in the case.

"How could that be? I told the truth, but there were some things I didn't mention."

Zhi Xing told the truth to Inspector Megure without changing his expression, but in his heart he was making excuses:

Kamijou Touma is indeed from Academy City, and his organization is a mixture of science and magic. I just added the Future Organization from another anime as the name of the organization. This is all true, and I am indeed a person from the future. After all, I was not even born in 1994.

Inspector Megure thought for a moment before standing up and sighing:

"There's really no other way. Then, I'll agree to your terms. Come with me, and I'll take you to meet Mr. He Zhong, who plays the victim."
