But compared to this sound.

The ray of moonlight that was opened by the clouds blown away by the wind penetrated deeper into people's hearts.

Zhixing raised his hand, blocking the direct moonlight and allowing the surrounding light to be reflected onto his glasses.

The wind became louder, and Zhixing couldn't help but close his eyes to prevent potential sand and dust from blowing into his eyes.

After a while, the wind stopped and Zhixing opened his eyes and saw the surrounding environment clearly.

"How did I end up in a tree? I can't climb trees!"

Chapter 174 It’s time to take some risks

“It’s a matter of priority.”

Zhi Xing carefully used the moonlight shining through the leaves to slowly move to the position closest to the tree trunk, then looked at his hands with a sigh of relief.

Under the moonlight, the hands did not change at all, they were still normal human hands.

After repeatedly confirming that his hands were fine, Zhi Xing began to feel around his entire body and gave him a rough check. There was nothing extra or missing, no other changes, and even his clothes showed no signs of being torn.

"Although my personal strength is weak compared to that of an ordinary person, I cannot resist a familiar or even a witch that is stronger than an ordinary person."

"But witches are ultimately just one of the many dangers in the magic circle. They are seen as a problem by magical girls and as a tool by Kyubey."

"Even if we go by the lowest limit, obtained from Madoka by relying on the wishing mechanism given by Kyubey, it cannot be limited by a single witch."

"What's more, my return will allow me to escape the cycle of time that Lian Qiubi has trapped me in."

"Although I can't return from Conan's world now, it doesn't seem like I've lost this ability. I'm probably going back and forth too frequently recently."

"Unfortunately, I can neither feel the consumption of this power nor know how much energy is left."

"There's not much time and opportunity left for me to waste time here any longer."

Zhixing clenched his fists, giving himself the motivation to act, and then looked at the road that was revealed after the light returned.

I glanced at the telephone booth on the other side of the street and estimated that its height was about two people taller.

This height is just within the range of landing without injury to causing a concussion.

The question is which one lands first.

Zhixing looked at the height he had never attempted while sober and felt a little unconfident.

Then he looked at the tree trunk behind him.

"I...maybe I've become stronger?"

As Zhixing spoke, he stretched out two fingers, pinched the raised bark of the tree trunk, and applied light force.

All three of them exerted force at the same time... Both hands grabbed onto the tree trunk, and continued to exert force while making sure not to use too much force, until the breath was exhausted, and then he had to end his test.

Then he punched the tree trunk hard.

"The priority is too high. Can't even some of the familiar's power be retained?"

Seeing that his fist was turning red, Zhixing reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​jumping down directly.

After all, although lunch at the paper shop was late and long, we still didn’t have a proper dinner.

The second bowl of soup that he had just been drinking was also taken away by the witch.

Zhixing didn't let his legs go weak due to the sudden feeling of physical weakness, and he was already very satisfied with his performance.

"Alas, I really don't want to waste my energy. Who knows how many chances I have left."

Zhixing thought so, but his eyes began to look around the treetops, and then he held the trunk with both hands and moved carefully.

Zhixing thought it would be easier to go up rather than slide down the rough tree trunk without branches to serve as a stepping stone.

But this idea was extinguished when Zhixing encountered a branch that he couldn't climb over by holding onto the trunk.

"I still can't climb trees."

Zhixing stood on the highest branch he could reach and walked out slowly, feeling as if he was walking on a single-plank bridge, which made him very nervous.

Fortunately, the branches of the trees here were not very long, and Zhixing quickly reached the leaves with his hands, then pushed aside the branches and looked into the distance.

"It's not possible. I can't see the Metropolitan Police Department building from this direction."

Zhi Xing withdrew his gaze from afar and saw clearly where he was.

It's in a park somewhere.

"Well, the one who tied the bell must untie it. Let me in, little bear. I still haven't taken out my suitcase."

Zhi Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the world shaking and twisting like a dream bubble, and then turning into another scene.

"It seems that the witch pulled me into the witch's room because I appeared there. And now, I'm using that inexplicable golden finger... to locate myself in this small world within the witch's barrier?"

Looking at the assembly line workshop that had stopped working, Zhixing shook his head, did not stop, but turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

"At a time like this, should I be thankful that Little Bear's barrier doesn't have room separation?"

The line of paper remained in a straight line, passing over countless stopped conveyor belts, and finally stopped at the sound of a noise not far away.

Do you want to continue? Test my identity as a familiar?

After thinking for a while, Zhihang chose to play it safe.

Never mind, at least I got down from the tree. I still don't know the correct direction to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Zhi Xing stroked his neck with his hand, then closed his eyes to eliminate other options and said softly:

"Go back, I still have things to do."

The change in light passed through Zhixing's eyelids, making him realize that he had left the barrier.

When I opened my eyes, Zhixing was already standing on the street.

Zhihang arrived at the intersection and looked around. Soon, with the help of his glasses, he saw the artificial lights from the security room in a residential area shining onto the roadside.

Zhihang walked forward fearlessly, greeted the security guard on night shift, and then asked for directions to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Then, under the other party's gaze, he went straight to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"The next step is the hardest part."

Taking advantage of the location of the Metropolitan Police Department, Zhihang hurried to the location of the "Foreign Affairs Section 2" as he remembered it.

"There's still hope."

Looking at the high wall in front of him, Zhixing was very reluctant to waste the opportunity to enter the witch's barrier.

But there is no way. If Zhixing wants to find Koizumi Akako, the only clue is the note, and the second is the high school where Kidd is in the plot.

Because my impression of Kid is only from the animated version, and I have never seen the plot of the comics. The animation was only able to appear because of Conan's popularity, so there are many guest appearances by Conan.

This guest appearance happened after Haibara Ai had already joined the team.

Therefore, Zhixing was not sure whether Hongzi was in that high school. Instead, he thought that Hongzi met Kidd after transferring to various schools and that was why she stayed in this school.

What's more, there is a mobile phone that Xiaoyan gave him here.

If it wants to start wandering, it naturally cannot be left here.

"Little Bear, I'm here to ask for your help again. I'm counting on you to help me walk through the wall."

As Zhixing spoke, he placed one hand on the wall closest to the building and pushed forward with his legs.

As the surrounding environment changed, Zhi Xing easily stretched out his arms, and his feet lost resistance and sprinted forward.

"Can you go back?"

The changing scenery around suddenly stopped changing, and then returned to the location of the Second Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the night sky.

The only difference is that the paper line is not outside the wall, but inside the wall.

"It can actually be interrupted. I wonder if it can save some energy like Homura does."

Zhixing shook his head and stopped thinking about it, because in addition to sneaking in here, there was another most important problem that needed to be overcome.

This is also the reason why Zhihang has never wanted to come here.

So where will your luggage be stored?

"Although Inspector Megure got the notebook where I wrote the list, he didn't take over my custody. I'm afraid he only got it from here because it fell within the scope of Megure's case."

Zhi Xing frowned and thought.

If possible, Zhixing did not want to take such an uncertain action, but Zhixing really felt that he did not have much time left.

It is not based on intuition, but a conclusion drawn based on one's own logical judgment.

"Let's try our luck first."

The paper merchant walked from the outside of the building to the main entrance with ease, and went straight to the hall where the police officers worked.

Although the paper shop had deliberately lowered its footsteps, the empty hall at night still alarmed the front desk police officer on night shift.

Kamijou Touma! He actually came back!

Zhi Xing paused, then turned around and stretched out his hand towards the front desk.

"Huh? Why is it Officer Li?"

Officer Li looked at the paper bank with a complicated expression.

Even though so much time has passed, the paper shop is still dressed the same as when I first saw it.

"You actually came back. Don't you know your current situation? I heard that you met with Inspector Megure."

"Well, it seems like they're treating me like a murderer, right? I don't know if that's still the case, but I came back to get my things."

Zhi Xing withdrew his bluffing hand, turned his back confidently, and walked back to the office area.

"Your luggage is no longer there. It's being kept separately in the evidence room."

"Do you know where my luggage is?"

"Heh, how long do you think I've been on night duty here since I was in charge of your case?"

"Uh, sorry for getting you into trouble."

Zhi Xing clasped his fists and apologized to Officer Li, then asked doubtfully:

"In that case, can you still help me with directions? I'd like to go over and take a look?"

Officer Li hesitated, turned around, and searched for his keys, then said:

"Just keep your hands raised and pointing at me. I'll take you there."

Zhihang obediently raised his hand and pointed it at Officer Li, asking curiously:

"Isn't there any sound coming from the surveillance here?"

Officer Li got the key he needed, then came out from the front desk, and walked in front of him and said:

"There will be surveillance cameras recording the sound on the way to the evidence room, so just don't expose yourself. Just think of me as being threatened by you."

Zhixing nodded, then kept facing Officer Li and followed Officer Li out of the office building and came to another building.

He opened the door with the key, walked a distance, then opened another door in the corridor, then looked back at the paper bank and walked down.

"B-1st floor? Thank goodness I'm not a giant."

Zhihang felt that things were going very smoothly and couldn't help but make a joke that the other party couldn't understand.

But Officer Li did not say anything. Instead, he continued walking through the small rooms with the paper, and finally stopped in front of a room without Chinese writing.

"This is it."

As Officer Li spoke, he inserted the corresponding key into the door and slowly walked away from the gate.

Zhixing followed the distance the other party had retreated and saw something on the table through the crack in the door.

Empty backpack, mobile phone, number plate box, snack bag, diary, pen, charger, power bank, umbrella

Each piece was displayed openly on the central table.

"Do you usually arrange things like this?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, you can look in the other rooms."

Officer Li raised his hands, looked at the paper and answered.

"No need, I just asked casually, I trust you."
