Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"It's a small thing, no reward required."

Dr. Agasa spoke quickly.

"Look, aren't you still going to mortgage this gold bar? Since you've chosen to leave it with me, it means you can contact me in the future. This information is enough."

"I see. I'll come get it next time we meet."

Zhihang nodded, put down the gold bar and paper, and prepared to leave.

"What on earth happened on Moon Shadow Island? I heard there's a cursed piano here. Could it be..."

Zhi Xing glanced at the badge and did not stop leaving. Instead, he responded:

"Don't worry, magicians are not as easy to contact as you think, so you don't have to consider the possibility of magic or curses committing crimes."

When Zhixing put on his shoes again, took his suitcase and luggage bag, and opened the door, he suddenly thought of something and said to Conan who had already started talking to Professor Agasa:

"Oh, I forgot to mention this. The key to who a person is has never been their name, but the values ​​​​formed by their past experiences."

"I'm looking forward to seeing Edogawa Conan appear, so go with peace of mind, Kudo Shinichi, number 1."

Then Zhixing closed the door, opened the gate to the courtyard and walked out of Dr. Agasa's house.

After breaking away from the human interaction, Zhi Xing couldn't help but look at the sky where the sun had already set, and murmured with a hint of disbelief:

"The process is completely wrong, and the evidence is sound, but the conclusion is correct. Sure enough, this is something only someone like me with double standards could do. No matter which direction I choose, it proves that my guess is correct. This is such an absurd reasoning process."

"Is it really Conan who would come up with such reasoning? Or... is it another me?"

Chapter 180 The Future at a Glance

"With infinite parallel worlds, there are infinite possibilities."

"If there are an infinite number of monkeys typing away, one of them will eventually produce a copy of Shakespeare."

"When in doubt, think quantum mechanics. When you can't explain something, think parallel universes."

Zhixing is very concerned about the issue of parallel universes.

Especially when the people he met along the way were completely different from what he knew except for a few people who had obvious differences in dress.

However, the paper industry has no way to verify the authenticity of the parallel universe, and all it has is its own past data to support it.

"So, Kaito Kidd's side isn't some other parallel universe, but I've already arrived?"

"In that dark space, I couldn't see anything except that white figure, including my own body."

"Perhaps the white shadow is talking to me because I've already talked to it in the past?"

Zhi Xing returned to the convenience store, replenished the food he had just finished, and walked away from the Kudo family while retorting:

"No, if Kidd's time is also calculated based on the comics' time, then it would be much earlier than Conan's."

"But not only did I not hear any code from myself, I've been here for so long and haven't seen my other self, not even a message."

"Besides, other things might be delayed. Shouldn't you also be involved in Miyano Akemi's affairs?"

"Through experiments, I should be able to understand the ratio of time flow rates in different worlds, right?"

Thinking of this, Zhi Xing was suddenly stunned for a moment, and asked himself uncertainly:

"Because I wanted to come to Conan's world, I came here when Conan was still Shinichi."

"And I've already experimented. Leaving this world won't cause Conan's time to stagnate. Just as I suspected, I only have the time for Homura's hundred or so reincarnations. If I exceed that time, the result will be irreversible."

"That's what I originally thought, but what if I could enter the corresponding past and future through fan works or works with the same world view?"

"For example, the radio drama where Kyoko and the senior met, the Gaiden Maki where the Law of Circles was 100% born?"

"But what worries me most is that even if I were to travel to the world of that fan work, I would only be traveling to one of many parallel universes."

"Not to mention that Madoka Magica already has a parallel universe setting."

Zhi Xing, who had stopped walking in the barrier because he could no longer feel the gazes of others, slowly stopped his aimless steps.

Then his eyes fell on the telephone booths that would appear every few blocks.

"Another multiple-choice question? Why does this always happen? When I was in Madoka Magica, I wasn't given any choice."

Zhihang's eyes turned to the phone booth.

In Zhixing's eyes, it was the ticket to Moon Shadow Island.

As long as I can contact Inspector Megure, I think Inspector Megure, whom I haven't seen for a long time, will not refuse my request to follow me, especially when he is also going to Tsukikage Island.

The only problem is that the foreign affairs department has just set up a trap to catch me. If I go there now, will I alert the enemy and be intercepted by the other party before Inspector Megure arrive, causing me to miss this opportunity.

And the feeling that my future self is just a paper-like self-perception, or it is a habit that I have to imagine a future self in order to keep up with the ideas in the information in the magic circle.

Perhaps Conan himself also has the intuition of reasoning, just like in Werewolf, the same words will have different results when said by different people.

Because Conan had actually come into contact with Paper Line, he probably had already seen something in his subconscious mind, and finally deduced this conclusion based on Paper Line's lies.

That's why Zhixing felt that these words were another hint that he had asked Conan to say.

Because as long as the staff are replaced by cartoonists, everything will be consistent with the paper industry's experience.

"There are too many uncertainties. Should I trust my on-the-spot judgment?"

Zhi Xing withdrew his gaze and looked at the other side of the road where people were passing by.

In Zhixing's eyes at this time, that was the road to find the witch Koizumi Hongzi.

He has already experienced Hongzi's prophetic ability and verified that her magic can offset the effect of the Witch's Kiss on ordinary people.

In order to replenish energy in the future and prepare to travel to other worlds again, Zhixing must master a method to prevent ordinary people around him from being controlled by the Witch's Kiss by accident, even if it is just to offset the control.

In Conan's low-magic world, Zhixing is not sure how long it will take to achieve this effect, and he is not even sure how to get the other party to agree to teach magic.

What's more, there is a problem that is neither difficult nor easy.

I don't know where Jianggutian High School is. How can I get there?

Unlike going to Kudo's house, Kazuyo only used Kudo's house as a temporary residence, so he was not worried about being discovered by the police and arrested.

But if you go to see Hongzi, you can also learn magic.

In this case, the police cannot be allowed to come and disrupt the situation.

Although Zhixing didn't understand why the other party was suddenly so persistent in wanting to arrest him, and even openly oppressed Officer Li to this extent.

But the paper industry dared not relax at all.

After all, future intelligence is obviously more attractive to those who are rich and powerful.

In the original plan of not participating in the Black Organization's actions, Zhixing identified these people as the biggest difficulty of his trip.

Originally, when Zhixing had correctly confirmed his fame through the prophecy, he planned to take action and get involved in these murders in order to change his fate.

Then, with repeated low levels of participation, the idea that fate is difficult to change becomes known to those around.

This will prevent those who may be greedy for your information from taking action rashly.

At that time, I will increase the extent of my participation in the changes and let the victims on the list serve as natural experimental subjects.

When fate can really be rewritten, Kazuyoshi will hide in Kudo's house, and then rely on the help of Conan, Haibara Ai or Dr. Agasa to purchase food to survive the rest of the time.

"But I don't have a chance."

The appearance of the Witch's Kiss, the unknown dark space, the possibility of returning at any time, the coming of the witch, and a fate that is difficult to reverse even if Zhi Xing tries to save it.

Under the influence of these unexpected events, Zhixing had no time to wait for his fame to emerge before he was discovered by these enemies.

"Even though I've tried to choose a peaceful world, there are still civilized enemies that I, as an ordinary person, cannot handle."

Zhixing sighed. Although he was no longer in Madoka Magica's world, Zhixing felt that he still couldn't escape the desperate situation.

"On the one hand, if I go there, I can quickly verify my hypothesis and learn the correct way to use my abilities from my future self. Then I can go directly to the Demonic Era and start a dialogue with the Principle of the Circle. But the downside is that I don't have any evidence to prove my hypothesis is true. If there's no other self over there, then calling the police would be a trap for me."

"On the one hand, magic does have its power, and at the very least, it can predict the future. I no longer have to pretend to be a witch like I do now. After all, once a witch uses the antidote to save someone, she won't be able to know the deceased's name. But the downside is that in the days ahead, I'm afraid I'll have to constantly fight with those who crave information about my future. With my slow brain, I'm probably no match for them. I can only hope Hongzi can hide me deep enough so they can't find me."

"Really? Why am I starting to hesitate? Isn't playing it safe the best option?"

"At least I can learn magic skills when I go to Hongzi's place. Even if I go to another world, I won't be a complete loser."

"And in the past, Moon Shadow Island only got a guessing answer."

"Judging from Conan's current time flow, even if I come to Kaito Kidd's world, it will only take a few more years, right?"

"Since my other self hasn't appeared yet, even when the witch was about to attack me, I didn't react."

"Then even if there really is a self over there, I'm afraid it wouldn't be my future self."

"I can't bear to wait that long to verify my guess. Besides, the sooner this problem is clarified, the better."

"Only in this way can I be sure that my future self can survive safely."

"Therefore, it's unlikely that I've learned any magic or anything else that I can pass on to my current self. I can only get a result and some information, nothing else."

Zhixing felt that he had clearly analyzed the pros and cons and knew that going to find Hongzi was the right choice.

But Zhixing also knows that when a person hesitates whether to do something, he has actually made a choice in his heart, but he does not have enough reasons to convince himself.

After all, when describing one's own choice, the first thing one says often represents one's own choice, even if it is deliberately said in a sarcastic way.

"Huh~ What I need now is decisive action, not wasting time here. Make a decision!"

Zhi Xing's hand slowly rose as he took a deep breath, and then stretched his hand forward!

The coin in the palm of his hand was revealed.

"My death?"

After hanging up the communicator with Professor Agasa, Conan stood in the dark room, looking at the ground with the reflection of his glasses, and said noncommittally:

"Really? It's hard to deny dying. After all, people grow up. Does he consider growth a form of death?"

Conan complained openly, but a very bad picture flashed through his mind because of Kamijou Touma's words.

Kudo Shinichi reappeared in front of Xiaolan, and told her with a smile that he had dealt with his troubles and would not keep her waiting any longer.

Ran excitedly rushed over to hug Kudo Shinichi, but after only a few steps, she stopped and looked behind Shinichi with a horrified look.

Kudo Shinichi followed Ran's gaze and saw a white-haired man, the man Conan had been dreaming about, lying in a pool of blood in a black uniform.

Following this man were the bodies of more men in black.

"What? He's just an international criminal that the police can't stop. There's nothing I can do to get the antidote that can transform him back."

Kudo Shinichi looked nonchalantly at the corpses that were most likely killed by him, then turned around and saw Ran retreating.

"It doesn't matter anymore. You don't need to know anything. No one can separate us anymore." Kudo Shinichi came in front of Xiaolan and turned her body to the other side. Then, he ignored Xiaolan's questioning gaze and just kept pushing Xiaolan further away from here.

[But as Xiaolan was pushed further and further away by Kudo Shinichi, a thick stream of blood flowed from Shinichi's hands that were pushing Xiaolan.]

"Don't worry, I've trained myself to be a detective. That's just... the blood of a criminal..."]

"Gudong, gudong, gudong, ha!"

Conan put down the water bottle, wiped his mouth, and after making sure that all traces of drinking water were gone, he tightened the bottle cap and put away the medicine bottle beside him.

"The hallucinations are getting worse and worse. Has Kamijou Touma always been suffering from such severe hallucinations?"

"Conan! Where are you? Come back soon!"

A familiar voice came, and Conan hesitated for a moment before he was sure that it was indeed Xiaolan's voice he heard. Then he responded enthusiastically in a child's tone and ran to Xiaolan with a fake smile on his face.

"I found it, I found it."

Seeing Xiaolan approaching, Conan took Xiaolan's hand and asked innocently:

"Sister Lan, what happened?"

Xiaolan sighed helplessly:

"This ritual seems to be going on for a long time. Dad can't stand it anymore and wants to go outside to smoke, so I can't let you play here anymore."

"Well, I see!"

Conan agreed on the surface, but in his heart he began to complain that the uncle was forcing two minors to breathe secondhand smoke just because he wanted to smoke.

But then Conan shook his head and got rid of this negative thought.

Stop imagining things. The change Kamijou Touma was talking about was clearly meant to make me value life more. So, he definitely wasn't going to become someone who would do anything to achieve his goal, absolutely not!

Conan was still smiling and cheering himself up in his heart.

A small tattoo was on the neck where Conan couldn't see it, changing its clarity and appearing and disappearing.
