Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

This place is different from the completely indoor detention room of the Foreign Affairs Section 2. The windows of the detention room belonging to the Search Section can see the outside, but they are blocked by iron bars.

Zhixing reached out and took the box. The box immediately lost its power and was held firmly by Zhixing.

He stood the box upright and stuffed it into his other hand, then Zhixing couldn't wait to open the express.

As expected, inside were the props prepared by Hongzi, a chocolate that was made long before Valentine's Day, and a piece of letter paper.

"Hmm~ Come to think of it, Hongzi seems to have transferred to that school on Valentine's Day, right? That would be in mid-February. Sure enough, the time difference is still a bit too big."

Zhi Xing spread out the letter paper, originally thinking that Hong Zi's current actions must have been caused by the use of real magic prophecy, so he should be fully prepared.

But to Zhixing's surprise, the letter paper was written entirely in Japanese, and Zhixing always felt that there seemed to be some symbols that did not even look like Japanese, just like a magic circle.

But even if it was really a magic circle, it was not the kind of magic that Zhixing imagined, which could translate text. Moreover, Zhixing tried to touch it, but did not find that this magic circle had the function of reading aloud.

"No, even if you send it, can you please express clearly what you want to say? Even a voice recorder would be better than using paper! I don't understand it!!"

Zhixing threw himself onto the bed next to him to vent his helplessness, then slowly folded the letter and put it in the inside pocket of his clothes.

"I never thought I'd be troubled by not knowing the future, even though I've already come to this world."

Zhixing sighed and looked at the chocolate.

Although there is no explanation, Zhixing knows very well that chocolate will be used as the raw material at this time just to let himself know its function.

The chocolate that was cast with the magic of falling in love with XX was, in Zhixing's expectation, something that was enough to offset the despair of the witch's kiss.

Otherwise, judging by the performance of the witch in the animation, it may not be comparable to the familiar split from the witch in the world of "Madoka Magica".

Except for prophecies, of course.

This is one of the few magics in ordinary magic that is stronger than pure strength. Therefore, even though the paper seller knew that there was a high probability that the letter contained a prophecy of the future, he did not think of asking the police to help translate it.

It would be so embarrassing if my identity was exposed.

Zhixing closed the box again and walked out of the room.

The police officer who was guarding the detention room hall immediately asked vigilantly:

"Why are you coming out? The toilet is over there."

"I'd like to see Inspector Megure. Can I get some information?"

"No, Inspector Megure said he won't contact you again until the situation in the river is confirmed."

Zhi Xing asked tentatively:

"What if I already have a solution to the problem? Can I get them back?"

"No, you stay here and don't go anywhere."

Zhixing looked at the other party's straightforward answer and immediately realized that Inspector Megure had just been backstabbed by his behavior, so he didn't want to see him at all now, regardless of whether what he said was true or false.

"Then please tell them that there's no need to broadcast it, as they already know about it."

Without waiting for the police officer's refusal, Zhixing returned to his room and placed the chocolate box next to his pillow to prevent it from being removed by his sleeping posture.

Announce yesterday that time travelers were invited. If someone really comes, cancel the invitation for tomorrow. If no one comes, spread the news widely.

What's the name of this time paradox? I don't quite remember, but I've seen it done before.

"So, what will the witch's prophecy predict? Hmm... I remember that the witch can change the predicted results."

Zhixing looked at the clock that was in every hall, watching the seconds pass by, and silently thought about all the useful and useless things in his mind, just to get through this boring time as soon as possible.

Finally, Zhixing got what he wanted most.

When midnight arrived, the darkness also came, covering the entire vision of Zhixing.

Chapter 143 Cooperation with Megure

"Hoo~breath~"

In this dark space, Zhixing tried to take a deep breath.

Although I didn't feel the air flow through my body, I just felt that there was no blockage.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t find Notepad, otherwise I would definitely try it.

Zhi Xing stared straight ahead, not daring to turn his head at all. He even tried to close his eyes, just to avoid seeing the white figure in this dark space.

The silent breathing continued for several times.

The expected feeling did not appear, which led Zhixing to a conclusion.

If in "Magic Circle", the condition for going back is the Witch's Night, then here, the condition for going back is the white area in this space.

I don’t quite understand how this condition is determined, but what is even more puzzling is why such an unscientific thing would appear.

"Hoo~breath~"

I don’t know if it’s because of the deep breaths, but Zhi Xing began to feel dizzy in this dark space. He had no sense of touch in his limbs, didn’t know where the ground was, and had no reference points around him. He didn’t know how to keep the same direction.

Just standing there, I could hardly control my perspective, as if I were floating in space.

Fortunately, this feeling did not last long. After Zhi Xing stayed in this black space for more than twenty breaths, the darkness around him faded away.

It's like turning the video brightness down to the lowest setting and then adjusting it back up again, and the surroundings gradually become brighter in color.

Zhixing slowly came to the door of the detention room hall, looked at the empty corridor outside the door, and couldn't help but sigh.

"So, in this live-action world, that place is considered the final boss of the time jump?"

Zhixing strode towards the lobby of the Metropolitan Police Department with no intention of staying in bed to sleep.

Because when he just came out, he took a look and found that the chocolate he had placed on the bed had disappeared, which made him think that time might have passed.

"Is anyone there? I'm back~"

The police station was silent at midnight, and there were not many lights around. After walking a little further outside, Zhixing felt as if he was still in the dark space just now, and couldn't help but start shouting for help.

"Who? Who's there?"

Zhihang had just shouted twice when he immediately heard someone's response, followed by a police officer holding a flashlight and a baton.

"Are you...Mr. Kamijou Touma?"

The police officer asked uncertainly, but Zhihang had nothing to hide, so he admitted it openly.

"It's me. Can I contact Inspector Megure now?"

"Okay...Okay, I'll contact Inspector Megure right away!"

Without any effort on his part, the police officer immediately let down his guard, turned to the front desk and started calling Inspector Megure.

Seeing that the police officer was busy, the paper shop did not disturb him. Instead, it looked around and quickly found a newspaper that the police station could use for daily entertainment.

Spreading out the newspaper, ignoring the incomprehensible words and confusing pictures, the paper company found the internationally accepted Arabic numerals "2*4*".

"Huh? Why did it take so long?"

Zhixing frowned. After all, he came to Conan with the intention of using the time here to improve himself. Although it was highly likely that he would not be so self-conscious, it was still a possibility.

But with such time changes, Zhixing has no choice but to separate his time from everyone else's, at least he can't hire the indigenous people here to be teachers.

"Okay! Okay! Got it!"

The police officer quickly explained the situation and hung up the phone at Inspector Megure's instruction. He then turned to face the paper company and said:

"Inspector Megure has received the news of your return. Inspector, please rest assured. We have followed your instructions and used the chocolate to break the curse in the river!"

Zhixing touched the letter paper still on his body and said in surprise:

"What's going on? Where did I give you any instructions? How did you know that chocolate could save people?"

"Hey, didn't you know? We followed your suggestion and went to Ekoda High School to make a broadcast. Then a piece of paper was thrown into the broadcast room. It said, 'Antidote has been placed on the chocolates in the room. Don't come here again! ! !'"

"And you just did it?"

The police officer scratched his head awkwardly and said a little embarrassedly:

"Someone was planning to investigate, but...well, they discovered something, so they stopped investigating..."

Zhi Xing shook his head. He didn't dwell on whether Hongzi was a high school witch or a junior high school magical girl. Instead, he raised the newspaper and asked:

"What day is it now? How long has it been since I last showed up?"

"The inspector has specifically instructed us that it's been almost two weeks since you last left without saying goodbye."

"Two weeks?"

Zhi Xing looked at the date on the newspaper. The two weeks roughly matched. In other words, when he skipped time, were the people in this world truly living through each day?

"What about Inspector Megure?"

"Um... the inspector said it's too late now. If there's nothing else urgent, please contact me tomorrow."

After hearing this, although Zhi Xing was a little surprised by Inspector Megure's attitude, considering that it was indeed his off-duty time, he did not ask any more questions and said to the police officer in charge of delivering the message:

"Could you please read the newspaper for me? I'd like to see what's in the news."

"Huh? Well, this is from the newspapers from the day before yesterday. This news must be outdated."

"It's all the same to me."

"Uh... well... okay?"

The police officer hesitated for a long time before reading the newspaper under the gaze of the paper merchant:

"The 10 billion yen criminal has not been apprehended, as far as is known."

Zhixing faced the sunlight and slowly sat up from the bed.

"Oh~ I'm so sleepy. It feels like I haven't stayed up late in ages, even though I just did one not long ago."

Zhixing went to the bathroom to wash his face so that he could clear his mind after only sleeping for 4 hours.

"Alas, I should have come back to rest after hearing the 10 billion case yesterday. What a waste of effort."

Zhixing looked at the mirror in the bathroom and didn't see the legendary dark circles, so he washed his face and prepared to meet Inspector Megure.

When hearing about the 10 billion case in the early morning, Zhixing roughly understood that this should be the story of Miyano Akemi, which is an important plot that will appear in the early days of Conan to catch up with the progress of the main line. As time goes by, the plots related to the main line will be counted as one per year.

In order to determine the current time node, the paper industry is naturally not allowed to sleep in any longer.

Zhixing walked out of the detention room and soon saw the police officers working the early shift.

Under the surprised gaze of the police officers, Zhixing sat in the seat for people to report crimes in the hall and began to wait.

Zhixing didn't have to wait too long before Inspector Megure appeared at the police station and immediately met Zhixing's eyes.

"Good morning, Kamijou-kun."

"Good morning."

After the two greeted each other, Inspector Megure enthusiastically invited Zhixing to the interrogation room.

"So, what are you doing here this time?"

After Inspector Megure closed the door, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Nothing, but maybe someone else is going to die, so they let me go."

"Who's on the list?"

Inspector Megure felt depressed. He had given himself a whole night to prepare himself mentally, but when he heard that someone else was going to die, he still felt a little dazed.

"It's not someone on the list, it's someone else, and currently quite famous."

Inspector Megure looked at Zhixing with confusion, waiting for Zhixing's further explanation.

Zhi Xing didn't want to stop, but there was one thing he needed to confirm, so he asked:

"Yesterday I heard from the police that there was a 10 billion yen robbery recently, right?"

"Well, that's what happened."

Inspector Megure nodded. Although this kind of robbery case was not under the jurisdiction of the First Investigation Division, it was a big deal after all, so naturally they knew some information in this regard.

"So far, those three people haven't been found, right?"

“Kamijo-kun, what do you mean…?”

Zhixing nodded, confirming Inspector Megure's guess:

"That's right. If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen today, and I'm afraid that will be the day these three people die."

"All three?"
