"So what exactly is the difference?"

Zhixing closed his eyes, completely oblivious to his surroundings, and kept thinking until a voice appeared, which startled Zhixing.

I saw Kamijou Touma, he's there!

Zhixing could feel that he did not hear any sound, but he automatically understood the meaning in his heart. He opened his eyes involuntarily and instinctively turned his head to look towards the inexplicable feeling.

That was a policeman who was far away from here. Because the paper bank was standing outside and there was no container blocking the view, with the help of moonlight, he could see the paper bank from about ten container lengths away.

"How is that possible? At such a long distance, shouldn't I need to watch the movements to know?"

Before Zhihang could figure it out, what the police officer said to his companions also led other police officers to come to the place where they could see Zhihang.

Really, I found them too!

Why can’t I see Officer Dahe? Go over and ask him!

I can finally get off work.

If it was just one case, it would be difficult for Zhixing to infer the reason, but as the police appeared one after another in Zhixing's sight, Zhixing was able to judge the reason from the timing of these words.

"Is it actually a gaze?"

The corner of Zhixing's mouth twitched. Although Zhixing had noticed since childhood that gazes could arouse other people's sixth sense, Zhixing himself had no feeling towards gazes.

But the problem is that when I was a kid, I could only use my eyes to make people in the front row turn around when I was sitting in the back row. No matter how I think about it, it just gives people the impression that someone is looking at me from behind.

"Can this actually trigger a translation? Why on earth is that?!"

Zhixing turned around, walked to Conan, and with a simple pull of his hands, he pried open his eyelids and saw his lifeless eyes.

After waiting for two seconds, Zhixing finally let go of his hand and carefully poked his head out from the edge of the container.

Didn't he run away? Why is he out again?

If it breaks, will there be a trap over there?

Is Officer Dahe in danger? Damn it, hurry up and catch up!

Zhihang exchanged glances with the police officers who were rushing over, and suddenly, waves of information flooded into Zhihang.

"Could it be that my ability has evolved into mind reading?"

Zhixing retracted his head and felt a little irritated. Although he didn't hear any sound, a lot of information appeared in his mind, and he couldn't understand what it meant for a moment.

"But my mind reading seems a bit bad? Is this the Geass gone haywire?"

Obviously, his ability has changed along with his mentality, but he still can't be happy.

Because Zhixing knew that in a certain anime, a power called Geass could also give people superpowers, but if this superpower was used too many times, it would become impossible to turn it off.

One of the villains has the ability to read minds. Unable to turn it off, he becomes afraid to interact with others and regards the heroine, who can grant Geass abilities and is therefore immune to Geass effects, as his only safe haven.

Zhixing patted his head to calm himself down, then slowly lay down and stuck his head out of the container.

Sure enough, the change in location prevented the police, who were still rushing over from a distance, from noticing the paper bank immediately.

Zhihang immediately focused his attention on the police officer who was in the front.

Immediately, Zhi Xing saw the power of the familiar gaze.

Although he was running hard, the police officer suddenly turned his head and saw the head of the paper sticking to the ground.

Huh? Someone...died?

The moment their eyes met, Zhixing felt these words, and then as the other person's gaze shifted to his companion, Zhixing did not notice any information.

Seeing that the other party was pointing at him, in order to avoid being the focus of attention again, Zhixing retracted his head back into the cover of the container.

"It's not mind reading, absolutely not mind reading! I don't get any more information from the other person's actions just by looking at them."

Zhixing suddenly felt that his translation ability was not as strong as it used to be. This downgrade made Zhixing think of another prerequisite for his ability.

"Could it be that I can only translate what the other person actively expresses? No matter what the voice is, at least it has to be spoken to me so that I can understand what they are saying."

"Language software works because the translator wants others to understand. That's why even inanimate objects can be activated by manual clicks. Simple text and drawings, however, can't be activated. They can't be activated. They need some medium to become active."

Zhixing looked up at the sky, but there were no alien voices coming from the sky, nor were there any voices under satellite surveillance. For a moment, the promising future suddenly became so-so, and Zhixing's future plans were once again in confusion.

“It has to be active human communication for me to translate.”

"Yeah, communication is a two-way thing. How can I know what the other person is thinking just by thinking? I'm not a magical girl...wait, isn't this a bit like a weakened version of telepathy?"

Zhixing thought about his own state where his mind couldn't be read, and seemed to understand.

It turned out that the communication channel between him and the magical girl was on a different frequency, so he was immune to Kyubey's mind reading and was also out of the magical girl's perception range.

"Sure enough, there's a limit to the amount of wishes Madoka Magica can grant. It's not even as powerful as the wishes granted by magical girls."

But having said that, Zhi Xing stretched out his hand, exposing himself to the police's sight.

In an instant, he received the message from the police, and Zhixing quickly withdrew his hand and frowned.

"How did it become like this? My abilities shouldn't have changed much, so why did I suddenly become so sensitive? If this were exposed to everyone, wouldn't I be constantly receiving this information? Wouldn't I be completely deaf by then? For example, I could clearly hear people talking, but I wouldn't be able to understand what they were saying in the middle of a conversation."

Zhi Xing looked at the hand he had just extended and couldn't help but tremble a little.

I just thought I was invincible, but I didn't expect that the upgrade of my ability would only have negative effects, and there was no potential like what I imagined.

"Come to think of it, I just thought that if I just thought about it a little more, I could reach the level of being able to send messages in dreams, like I did in the sixth round."

"The result is actually like this? Then how did the Sixth Generation Paper Industry manage to escape this influence?"

Zhixing could faintly hear the approaching footsteps of the police. Worried about his own safety, Zhixing did not stay where he was, but walked in the same direction away from the approaching police officers.

Just a few steps after Zhixing left, he stopped because he heard a voice.

"I remember that you found a girl and made a wish to cover your body with something new~"

Zhihang opened his mouth wide, recalling the information he knew:

"My translation ability will be overwritten by my new wish. Therefore, as long as I still want to communicate, I won't be able to make other wishes...")

"So, this is why I made other wishes? No wonder I only have the ability to leave messages in dreams in the sixth round. I guess it was a matter of chance that I achieved this. For example, when I could clearly translate, I tried to understand the other person's consciousness with a strong desire, and then discovered remote communication, and then began to further develop this ability."

"And this situation is the reason why I was able to do it in the sixth week, even though it wasn't mentioned in the ability test."

Zhixing nodded, his doubts resolved a lot. Suddenly, his head froze while moving up and down, and he thought belatedly:

"That sound just now was... Little Bear?"

"Are you hungry? Come and eat~"

As the sound appeared, Zhixing found that the surrounding scenery became distorted again.

Then, the paper company disappeared from the dock again. The only difference from before was that Conan and the police officer were still lying not far away and did not disappear together.

Chapter 155 Can the future be changed?

The distorted scenery began to become clearer.

Zhi Xing felt that the surroundings were getting brighter. He couldn't help but squint his eyes before he came to his senses and looked around.

"Isn't he in the room?"

After glancing around, Zhixing's gaze quickly fell on the witch beside him.

Moving slightly towards the witch and standing at the edge of the maintenance table, Zhixing quickly saw that the witch was holding a bowl in her hand.

Several familiars were using their irregularly torn bodies to hold a soup that looked very familiar to Zhi Xing. They came to the witch and poured the water into the bowl.

"Isn't it just pure magic?"

Zhi Xing felt a little puzzled. The things in this witch's barrier should all be made up of the witch's own magic power, so why did she need a familiar to move them?

Zhi Xing watched as these familiars slowly left the witch's hall through the only exit.

"Huh? Is the entrance to the witch's room that close?"

Zhixing looked at the maintenance table, then walked to the box where he had been tied up and looked around again.

"Something's wrong. The witch's room seems to have become much smaller than before, but how is this possible?"

Zhixing frowned. Although the plot of "Magic Circle" mainly shows the stories between several girls, there are still two very obvious changes in the witch.

One is when the familiar turns into a witch, which is also the reason why Zhixing was worried about the possibility of the witch appearing at the beginning, but still dared to continue taking risks.

After absorbing enough energy, the familiar will turn into a seed of sorrow and hatch. During the hatching period, the familiar's own barrier will also shrink.

Even after becoming a Seed of Sorrow, he can still cast a barrier and pull those around him in.

However, based on what Zhixing had learned from the information, he could escape from the edge of the barrier while the witch was not showing up and there were only one or two familiars outside, and then have people evacuate the crowd. He could also get rid of the possible threat posed by the witch's kiss on his body.

However, when a familiar turns into a witch, the familiar's barrier will gradually supplement the various elements of the original witch's barrier as it grows. Therefore, except for the witch who needs to be hatched and waited, the other rooms, mazes, familiars, and decorations in the entire barrier have all been created by magic.

The same thing happened when Zhi Xing was drawn into the Shadow Witch's barrier.

but...

"The little bear has existed since the beginning. He hasn't become a Seed of Sorrow, nor is he just a familiar. He already has a group of familiars. Is he the witch who doesn't drop Seeds of Sorrow?"

Zhixing really wants to take this as the conclusion. After all, this means that the little bear will not grow anymore. At most, it will split into more familiars, but these familiars are all of the same origin. Even if the types of familiars are different, there are only a limited number of them.

By summarizing these types of action patterns, you can ensure your own survival and the survival of others. At most, it can be regarded as bringing a kind of weird story to the Conan world.

But Zhixing would never stop there, especially after he felt that the witch would not attack him again as before, Zhixing no longer had the determination to restrain his thoughts.

Then the scenario of the second witch appearing appeared in Zhixing's mind.

"If I remember correctly, after Sayaka evolved into her mermaid form, a complete barrier didn't appear immediately. Instead, various familiars and decorative props began to emerge from her body. In short, everything hasn't been set up yet."

"So the whole environment is very open, and Xingzi can get to the witch in one step without any need for positioning and take Sayaka's body away."

"If magical girls really only needed corpses to locate them, then witches wouldn't have a function like a maze."

"The first time I encountered a mermaid, there were no rooms around her, no familiars, but she faced the witch herself directly. There was even a railway track leading directly outside the barrier."

"But the second time I found the mermaids, they had already created a maze with doors. They had even decorated it meticulously, turning it into a concert hall, with concert posters lining the aisles."

"The mermaid's room has been transformed into a large stage for performances, and there's even a familiar cosplaying as Kamijou Kyousuke to play the violin for the mermaid."

"What's even scarier is that even though it's the size of a stage, there's actually an even larger space underneath it, enough to cause even a witch to lose weight and fall."

"But even though the witch's room is still huge, it's not as spacious as the first time."

Zhixing lay on the slope he had originally been on, and looked towards the door that allowed the witch to enter and exit from his original perspective. He noticed that the platform of the maintenance bench blocked Zhixing's view. Zhixing could not see the situation on the ground, nor could he see the place where Conan originally appeared.

"How could that be? Is the witch's room really shrinking in size?"

Zhixing swallowed and tried to blame the obstruction of his view on the fact that the maintenance table might have become larger. After all, if the witch's room changed, it would mean that the entire barrier was not perfect. Zhixing only knew one reason for the imperfection, and that was that the magical girl matured into her second form.

"No, wait! There's another possibility."

Zhixing touched his neck. Although he felt nothing, he was still very sure that the Witch's Kiss was on his neck, so he made a bold hypothesis.

"I know of another situation that could cause the witch's room to change further."

Zhixing looked at the repair witch with a complicated expression. She was still waiting for the familiar to provide food so that she could feed her. He had an uncertain guess in his mind.

"A witch that hasn't fully hatched yet has both human intelligence and an imperfect barrier, so it will change with her mood."

"But more importantly, if this is possible, then I can understand why the witch let that Officer Taiga go."

"In the other two situations, the witch would immediately start killing. How could she possibly give the police officers some time to catch their breath?"

Zhixing was still puzzled by this, because while thinking about this, he touched all the clothes on his body again, but he couldn't find any possible seeds of sorrow.

"In the movie, because of Kyubey's barrier restrictions, the witch did not trigger the conditions for the birth of the Principle of Circles, which is why the story of rebellion happened."

"So this witch wasn't guided by the Principle of the Circle when she first appeared. Is it because she hadn't been born yet?"

For a moment, Zhixing didn't know whether to say this conclusion was a good thing or a bad thing.

It's a good thing, at least she doesn't eat people casually like ordinary witches, and it even seems that she can communicate more conveniently.

But it seemed like a bad thing. After all, in this state of being unborn, when would Zhixing finally be able to escape the barrier? Could a repeat of the previous situation be enough? Zhixing had no idea why the witch had just come out with three people, and now, under the pretext of eating, had trapped him back in the barrier.

Of course, more importantly, the paper industry felt a very serious pressure.

"Can I change the future?"

As a time traveler who has watched anime, it is no exaggeration to say that I know the future.

Therefore, the butterfly effect produced is the most serious.

What Zhixing is most worried about now is whether the existence of the Principle of Rings will appear in the world of "Magic Circle".

It's not for any other reason, it's just because Zhixing can't think of any way to solve the ecological relationship between witches, humans and magical girls.
