Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Zhixing looked at the blank notepad on the computer and the answer given by the calculator, and reversed his own experience.

"The kendo coach case happened at night, probably less than half a day. And then there's... the real and fake twins the Junior Detectives witnessed?"

Looking at the names in the catalog in the comics, Zhixing had some impression of these early cases.

"At that time, I was going to find Xiaolan to meet Sonoko, but unfortunately, I was forced to read the minds of the crowd and escaped into the witch's barrier."

"Next is... the second full day Conan and the others will be attending the festival. It's a case that uses the time of day as a tactic."

"The third full day marks the first murder on Moon Shadow Island, right? Hmm, there's actually a time marked here, and it's not even past midnight yet."

Zhixing nodded at first, but then realized that the time didn't match.

Because the fourth day was interrupted by my return, it was not a complete day at all.

Even if we include the Kendo case that broke in midway, whose exact time is unknown, it can only be said to be close to 4 days, but there is no room for 6 hours.

"This is troublesome. The speed of time is not an integer? Or is the speed of time different in each world?"

Just when Zhixing was still worried about how to accurately locate the time of travel to save the long period of idle waiting time.

The paper quickly flipped open according to the content of the comic.

And soon his gaze rested on an expression that looked terrified.

"Wait, hey, hey, hey, you're not going to tell me that this is actually the guy I saw?!"

Although Zhixing was still questioning it, he had already begun to overturn his previous conclusion in his heart.

"I did test this ability that appeared for some unknown reason. Only those who are in despair, fear, or similar emotions can be seen by me in this void."

"It's probably because my body has been enchanted by the witch's magic. After all, it's normal for a magical girl to be able to see things that ordinary people can't see."

"But the feeling I had was fading pretty quickly, so it might be too late..."

As he flipped through the papers and looked at the answers to the open-book exam, he saw the victim of the third murder, whose time was not clearly stated but whose expression was clearly terrified.

"Sure enough, this guy started to panic when he saw the music. In this case, I didn't see any double vision, and there was only that one figure in my field of vision."

"So it wasn't because I saw the white shadow that I came back directly?"

Zhixing watched as the misunderstanding he had created was resolved by the facts, and he quickly recalled that his train of thought had been interrupted when he was staying in the hall.

"Coincidence?"

"Could it be that because of a murder, I was able to travel back in time?"

Zhixing quickly flipped through the contents of the comic and soon saw the corresponding crime scene.

"The broadcast was automatically triggered half an hour after the victim was killed, which means he didn't die immediately."

"But Conan happened to wake up at this time, so I happened to come to the hall under Xiaolan's guidance and met the others."

"In that case, it's not the victim's fault. It's not because the soul has replenished its energy, causing the originally fulfilled request to now take effect."

"If there was any change at that time, it should have been hearing the recording coming from the broadcasting room, right?"

Zhixing rewound the comic and read the entire case again, and then discovered a very important point.

"The third victim occurred after the second murder. Conan spent too long looking for the key and had dismissed everyone. Before the night had passed, he stumbled upon the third case and had to gather everyone late at night. As a result, he neglected his guard and allowed the murderer to escape and commit suicide."

Thinking of this, I glanced at the time on the computer.

16:15

"13 minutes? Less than 26 hours?"

"No, with this time ratio, I can't stay in real time for too long. I have to go there immediately!"

Zhixing glanced at the comic's catalog.

Judging from the passage of time, he was about to go to the case of the computer virus called Dark Night Baron.

Then there is a long section of everyday cases, and not many of the people on the list appear in it.

"Tsk, it looks like whoever compiled this list is based on the characters who died in the anime, or does it also include characters from the later commercialization and the subsequent tropes?"

When he thought about the fact that there was no benefit at other times except for the virus that appeared on the desktop computer, the Dark Night Baron, which might not exist, Zhixing suddenly felt reluctant to go to Conan again.

But the reason why Zhixing doesn't want to go to Conan is:

"There are still too many coincidences in Conan. I've only been there for a few days, and so many things have happened. Fortunately, now that I have my first pot of gold, I have some options, right?"

Zhixing watched the time on the computer pass by little by little, but it was not as intuitive as when he returned.

Although he knew that he was going through the time of the Dark Night Baron incident, the paper line did not feel too much tension.

"No, this time he came back too suddenly. I wasn't mentally prepared at all."

"If I were suddenly asked to decide what the next world would be like, I wouldn't be able to find a suitable goal."

Zhixing clicked on the video website and looked at the huge list of animation series on the Internet. He was suddenly caught in a situation where there were too many choices and it was difficult to choose.

Looking at those popular anime series, Zhixing can see the degree of danger they contain just by looking at the description in the synopsis.

After discovering that a world like Conan's was not peaceful enough, Zhixing just wanted to find some daily life animation, preferably with a body shape that could increase strength.

But even in a comedy, the dangers were far greater than Zhixing had expected. At least Zhixing was unable to find a place safe enough to control the power of that world.

"Well, let's just do this."

After pondering and hesitating for a long time, Zhixing finally chose to give up the choice, or to give up making a decision immediately.

"Now I'll download these anime series to my phone, then go to Conan's world and analyze them carefully. Then I'll make my choice."

Watching the video download progress bar slowly moving, Zhixing took the opportunity to convince himself and said to himself:

"Although the subsequent Conan cases are useless events, it also gives me time to learn magic knowledge from Hongzi, so it won't be a waste of time."

"And if you're directly next to a witch who can clearly counteract the Witch's Kiss, you don't have to worry too much about affecting others. At least going to other worlds would risk being unable to control the Witch's Kiss if it came out."

Thinking of Hongzi, Zhixing took out his mobile phone again before the video was downloaded, took out Hongzi's note, and translated the contents of the note while referring to the information in the encyclopedia.

Zhi Xing quickly finished translating again, and sighed with some regret:

"Oh, if I had known I would go to Hongzi to learn magic, I should have followed that kendo coach to the police station when he was arrested."

"Maybe I can learn some fighting techniques and physical training methods from it, and then use my trained body to learn magic, to prevent myself from being harmed by the backlash of failed magic."

"No, no, no, it was probably through that kendo coach's introduction that I was introduced to the world of Conan where magic and martial arts coexist."

"After all, it's just a world of low magic. The fighting power of ordinary people is enough to rival the magic there. Even hypnosis can control the witch herself. Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that I didn't consider learning magic as my first choice."

"But this time always needs to be wasted. Instead of just sleeping, it's better to honestly learn some knowledge that can be used in other worlds. Even if it's just learning that prophecy magic, it would be great. Although I still don't know how talented I am with magic, I don't know if the witch's magic can be passed on to me."

Thinking that his not-so-bright brain might have to memorize a lot of knowledge because of his own decision, Zhixing couldn't help but feel a little lacking in confidence in his own talents.

"I hope Hongzi's magic can be easily learned even by someone like me who has no basic skills. Don't try to imitate Kid's father's disguise technique. I think only three people will be able to do that in the end."

Just when Zhixing felt that his future was bleak, the name of an animation suddenly popped into his mind.

"Hmm? Wait? Learning from zero foundation? No talent required, you can practice in every world. The upper limit is not low, and it will challenge the protagonist, but it is peaceful and non-lethal. It can also resist the mind control of the Witch's Kiss, and maybe even avoid the attacks of the Witch itself. I think I know of one world."

"If it's there, it seems like I can make full use of the time I wasted."

Zhixing immediately looked at the ancient anime with eight characters, and immediately forgot the idea of ​​going to Conan and learning magic in the time jump.

Chapter 185 The Hero and the Heroine

"duo~"

The honking of car horns echoed on the somewhat deserted streets.

The sun shone brightly but not blindingly on the paper shops in the middle of the street.

Zhixing opened his eyes and looked around at the architectural style that was more modern than Conan's, and quickly determined the environment he was in.

It was early morning, on the sidewalk between houses.

"Is this really the beginning of the story?"

After confirming that he was not on the road, Zhixing closed his eyes and stood quietly without moving rashly, waiting for a signal from a protagonist to appear.

“Wooah! Bang!”

A man's exclamation was heard not far from the paper bank, followed by the sound of an object falling to the ground.

Zhixing looked in the direction of the sound, but the houses blocked his view and he couldn't see the exact location where the sound came from.

Although Zhixing's ability to locate the other party by sound was average, such a clear sound allowed Zhixing to determine that the other party was only one street away from him.

"This way? It's really close."

Zhi moved his body, holding a box in each hand and carrying a backpack on his back, as if he was a traveler who had just arrived in a big city. After looking at the direction, he walked towards the nearest intersection.

Although Zhihang had already taken action quickly, the route he was walking on was not a straight line. By the time he walked around the ridiculously long row of houses where there was not even a small alley and reached the road where the noise had just come from, the event that declared the other party to be the protagonist had ended.

"Are you late?"

Zhixing relied on his memory to come to a location similar to the landing place, then looked around and didn't see anyone living nearby, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"I knew there was something wrong with my crossing over. Although I came to a certain range next to the other party according to the name I said, the location was not where I could easily find the other party."

Although it was a pity, Zhixing didn't care too much. After all, the world he came to this time was not for the protagonist.

It’s better to say that it’s because the protagonist is too weak that his strength increases so quickly, and Zhixing’s goal is to find the masters who taught the protagonist.

Although the master's location did not have a clear address like Kogoro Mori's, Zhixing still found a map that appeared in the original plot while downloading the video.

"Well, then, I should just ask a passerby about the park at the starting point of the map. It seems to be called something like 朧隱 (Wist and Hidden) Park. I think the traditional Chinese characters should be easily recognizable, right?"

Thinking this, Zhixing wanted to continue walking along the street, intending to find someone to ask for directions in a place like a shopping street.

“Ah!! Plop~”

As if what just happened was happening again, the scream of someone falling into the water was heard again from the side.

"Wait, is this... a scene from an anime?"

Zhixing frowned, looked in the direction of the sound, and then walked towards it.

Soon, after passing through a bush, they saw a road that passed through the river. There were railings on both sides. Normally, if they wanted to pass, they had to go around to a bridge far enough away to pass.

At this moment, Zhixing was standing at the guardrail. Without having to lower his head, he could see a boy in a dark school uniform slowly standing up from the water, carefully trying to walk to the other side of the river.

But what was more eye-catching was the railing on the other side of the river. A girl in a short skirt, also wearing a school uniform but unable to hide the extremely lethal weapon, was trying to pull the boy who fell into the water with an expression as if she had done something wrong.

"Sure enough, is it the story of the hero and the heroine?"

The male protagonist below wanted to jump up and grab the girl's hand, but because the girl was wearing a skirt, she did not directly hold the railing with one hand to extend the distance of her reach.

"No, is it because I was watching here that she didn't do anything exaggerated?"

Although he didn't see the girl looking at him, Zhixing felt what she meant.

I messed up again. It was my first day at the new school and I shouldn't have been attracting attention.

Zhi Xing let out a slow breath, his sense of security in this world once again enhanced.

Originally in the comics, the story was divided into three days to reflect the contact between the male and female protagonists, but in order to reduce unnecessary plots in the animation, it was all counted on the day the female protagonist transferred to the school.

That's why the hero, in order to get to school as quickly as possible, was led astray by the heroine by taking a shortcut and ended up falling into the water.

Shaking his head, Zhixing stopped thinking about why Conan was a comic version, while this was an animated version, and shouted to the other side:

"You two, are you okay? Do you need any help?"

At this time, the hero who finally reached the heroine's hand from the river heard the question from Zhixing, looked over subconsciously, touched his head and said embarrassedly:

"Sorry to bother you, everything is fine here."

As he spoke, Zhixing saw the heroine exert force with one hand, and lifted the hero up from under the railing amid the hero's exclamation, and returned to the other side of the railing.

Seeing that the other two people seemed to be tacitly wanting to bow and leave because of the impact they had caused, Zhi Xing quickly asked:

"I think you're all going to be late by this time, so could you do me a favor?"

"Yes?"

The male protagonist looked confused, but still agreed instinctively.

"Um, uncle, do you have something to talk to us about? Even though we're late, we still have to go to school, so we can't help you carry these bags."

On the other hand, the heroine was clear about her responsibilities. Therefore, even though it was obvious that the paper merchant had difficulty carrying all these bags, she still refused the good offer to help her carry the things.

Zhixing looked at the river between the two railings, which was already wider than an ordinary road, and couldn't help but laugh at the heroine's idea.

"You're so far away from me, I didn't expect you to help me carry my things. After all, not everyone can ignore such a wide river. Please have a little common sense."
