There is nothing I can do but watch time pass by, waiting for my guesses to be confirmed bit by bit.
And in the end, it is very likely that he will be suppressed by the police as a suspect of unknown origin and will no longer be able to do anything.
Knowing that there would be no follow-up to the plan, Zhixing no longer had the mood to think or watch any anime or videos.
Just switch your phone to a clock and watch its second hand move around in circles.
I don’t want to think about anything anymore. Nothing matters anymore.
As Zhi Xing thought about this, his eyes began to become empty, and the new tattoo did not appear on his neck.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm back."
A voice interrupted Zhixing's meditation and brought him back to his senses.
"I was delayed by something before. I guess you haven't had dinner yet. I brought..."
Mami grabbed two bags of midnight snacks, sorted out her shoes, and let out a loud voice, trying to convey it to the imaginary paper line who was watching anime in the room.
Unexpectedly, just after putting the things on the table, Mami noticed that at the door of the dark hall and the rooftop, Zhixing was holding a mobile phone with a clock on it, looking at her with a dull face.
Mami walked towards the paper shop and was about to ask about the situation.
But Zhixing began to tremble all over, covering his eyes with his hands, and replied with a choked voice: "I'm so glad you're okay, Senior."
The pressure that had been accumulating since the afternoon, or even earlier, suddenly had an outlet, and Zhixing couldn't help but burst into tears.
I don't know if it was because he was happy that Asami was okay, or if he was just glad that he didn't have to go to jail for doing nothing.
Asami was frightened by Kazuyo's reaction and couldn't help but look towards Kyubey who was sitting on the window and watching the scene.
I thought to myself, "Kyubi, what on earth happened to Conan? Why did he become like this? Didn't you say you would notify me if he showed any unusual behavior? He didn't even tell me when he came back just now!"
Chapter 25: One Girl, One Action, One Word
Although Mami is a very experienced magical girl, she has rich experience in fighting monsters, rescuing people and cleaning up the mess.
But they are all manipulated by the Witch's Kiss, triggering a large number of abnormal behaviors out of desperation, so the parties involved often feel regretful and puzzled about their actions.
But Mami had never met anyone like Zhixing, who was so emotionally agitated because of her own life and death issue.
Even Sakura Kyoko, who used to be her partner, didn't have any worries in this regard because she was confident in Mami's strength.
But the paper industry is different!
Asami still remembers that Zhixing once "predicted" that he would sacrifice himself in the future.
Unlike Mami's disbelief, Zhixing's trust in this "prophecy" is so high that he regards it as the truth just because it is possible.
"Well, I, you see, you had a fight with Sayaka before, so I went to explain the misunderstanding to Sayaka-chan and casually accompanied her for a walk, so..."
Mami frantically explained to Zhixing why she didn't come back in time.
"By the way, I brought you some barbecue. You haven't had dinner yet, right? So, feel free to eat as much as you want!"
Mami walked around to Zhixing, lifted him up with a little effort, and pulled him to sit at the table. Then she went to the kitchen to get a plate, took out the barbecue and placed it on the plate.
"It was so embarrassing. I burst into tears without realizing it, and even spoke in Japanese. It's so unlike me."
Zhixing wiped the tears from his eyes and laughed at himself.
Although adults can collapse just by a small thing, they can get back up quickly after that. After all, crying can't solve the problem, and action is still necessary.
Although the general action of paper walking is to change your mood or turn off the lights and go to sleep.
"But," Zhi Xing looked at Mami, who lacked the demeanor of a shrewd and capable senior and showed the behavior of a girl of her age, "I'm not Anzu. I can't change my mood just by eating."
"Hmm, this sentence feels like something Xingzi would say."
It seemed as if he had figured something out and no longer maintained the "personality" he had established before. Instead, he no longer concealed the fact that he was familiar with the paper company. Instead, Mami began to believe that the paper company came from the "future".
He understands himself, understands Xingzi, and plans to ask Xingzi to come and help.
Based on Mami's understanding of Anzi, she would neither talk about her past on her own initiative, nor would she specifically target her, nor would she tell others about her weaknesses casually.
Mami made a point of learning about prophetic magic.
Generally, only by taking a major event as the object can part of the content be predicted, thereby determining the people involved, the time of appearance, etc.
It is possible to judge death by its absence, but such predictions obviously cannot be applied to daily life, or even the life of a dead person.
Although there are witches with special abilities, their combat capabilities are often weaker, which obviously does not fit the powerful identity of "Witch Night".
The two possible paper lines have been completely ruled out. Even if it is no longer possible, the only remaining explanation is "from the future."
Not to mention, Asami was actually late on purpose today.
Eating barbecue and chatting.
After taking Sakura Anko as the topic, the two finally had some daily communication.
Then as night fell, everyone washed up and went back to their rooms.
Zhixing, with a smile as if he hadn't finished chatting, lay down on the bed and went to sleep without even checking his phone.
After learning about this, Mami heaved a sigh of relief and went to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, Zhixing even woke up earlier than the alarm clock because he didn't stay up late to watch anime.
"Good morning, Asami."
"Good morning, Conan-kun."
Seeing the paper shop that usually looked like it didn't want anyone to come near her now greeting her with a smile early in the morning, Asami was happy about it.
After all, it is a rare person who cares about you.
Ever since her parents got into trouble, Mami hasn't been cared for by anyone for a long time. Even though Mami knows that Zhixing may still be worried about being wrongly accused of being a criminal, it is enough to make Mami more determined to save people.
"Come to think of it, you were planning to go out for a walk before, right?"
"Well, that's the plan."
"Well, after school this afternoon, I'll come back and record the information for you. Then you can do whatever you want."
"Information? Isn't it a key or something?"
"Most of the things in the witch's barrier will disappear when the witch is destroyed, so it's inconvenient to fight with the key, so I changed the door."
"Will this information be registered with the police or something like that?"
"Don't worry, it won't leave any traces other than the door opening function~"
"So strong?"
"I've used magic before, so it's no problem. It's just that this takes time, and I have to go to school, so I'll have to inconvenience you by having to stay home for another day."
"It's okay. School is important, and I still have plenty of ways to kill time. Well, I'll just take care of these."
Zhixing smiled and took out his fully charged cell phone, waving it in front of Mami.
"Well, I'll leave it to you then. I'm going to school now. See you later."
Mami prepared the bento and paper lunch, then hurried out after finishing her breakfast.
Zhixing waved goodbye with a smile, then started to clean up the mess.
Then I took out my cell phone and lay on the bed to watch it all morning.
Then I looked at the time and found that it was almost noon, so I finished my lunch.
"So, how much longer?"
Zhixing said as he opened the map and looked at the distance and time from Mami's house to the school... as well as the route.
"Oh, it's only an hour and a half walk at most. It's really close after all."
Zhixing smiled, then compared the school schedule and added several two-hour dramas to his to-do list.
Then I looked back at the plots I had watched before to get some feeling for the movie version.
Time passed by little by little.
In the cozy and comfortable environment, Zhixing slowly closed his eyes, as if a comfortable nap had taken away his spirit.
Suddenly, Zhixing opened his eyes and a mysterious tattoo appeared on his neck.
Zhixing turned off the anime on his phone and took a selfie with the camera facing his neck.
After making sure he could see the tattoo, Zhihang smiled and walked towards the door that was still locked and had not yet registered his information.
"Crack!"
Zhixing easily pulled down the handle and pushed open the door that was blocking his way.
After looking around, Zhixing silently walked to the elevator entrance, waited for the elevator to go down, then took out his last remaining coins and got on the bus to Mitakihara Junior High School.
When the paper company arrived at school, the first class in the afternoon had not yet ended.
Zhixing looked at the photo he had just taken on the bus, and then took another photo of his neck.
After confirming that the tattoo on his neck was still there, Zhixing straightened the collar of his clothes to block any possible observation.
Then Zhixing stood at the corner outside the school gate, waiting silently.
From time to time, he closed his eyes to check the movements on the other side.
"jingle..."
The bell for the end of get out of class rang. Zhixing opened his eyes and looked towards the school across the wall. Soon, the noisy sounds of students could be heard from the school.
"You still have one class left, it's still too early."
Zhixing knew that Kyubey must be in Mami's house, and Kyubey could only be discovered by qualified magical girls.
Therefore, his every word and action was under Kyubey's surveillance, including Mami who was asking Kyubey about the situation.
So it is highly likely that Mami now knows her actions and where she is.
But there is no way. Just walking is too slow, and trying to convince myself of "despair" is an uncertain thing. I really can't arrange the time.
However, it was just the end of get out of class, and even if Mami knew, she would not leave the school. She could not be communicated with telepathically, and her current actions were obviously based on her own consciousness rather than being controlled.
So it is highly likely that Mami will not transform or leave school.
As long as he circles around Mami during get out of class breaks and doesn't get bumped head-on, it'll be fine. After all, he's a "good student" and he can't just skip classes since he's already in school.
As long as they can hold off until school is over, the paper shop’s plan will be halfway accomplished.
Thinking this in his heart, Zhixing stood up from the ground and was about to walk around in a circle.
Suddenly, the vision turned black and white, and the sounds around disappeared.
"Are you actually anemic at this time?"
Zhixing shook his head and patted himself, trying to get some blood into his brain.
"Tap, step"
But the dizziness that was supposed to follow never came.
Instead, clear footsteps came from where they shouldn't have appeared.
Zhi Xing looked up and saw a pair of black high heels, a gray dress with ruffled edges, a white coat, and a gray shawl.
A girl with waist-length hair stood on the wall in front of Zhixing. She sighed, tucked her hair, which had been blown forward by inertia, behind her ears, then glanced at Zhixing and said,
"I won't allow you to use Madoka again. Give up, Edogawa. No, Kudo Shinichi-kun."
Chapter 26: Memories can take up the entire chapter
The girl glanced back, then jumped back to school without looking back and disappeared from the sight of the paper bank.
Zhixing repeated the words to himself two or three times before he could temporarily remember what the girl had just said.
When I came to my senses, I couldn’t remember what the girl’s face looked like, or whether she was wearing glasses.
But that is the appearance of a magical girl after all. Referring to the example of Mami, I guess there is still a gap between it and the real-life version.
As Zhixing was thinking this, he found that the surrounding scenery had returned to its colorful appearance, and the sunshine and noise also came rushing in.
Don't think!
Zhixing took a deep breath, immediately fled from where he was, and started a running race with the imaginary Mami.
To be on the safe side, Zhixing ran for 10 minutes. After making sure that he would not meet Mami, he returned to school panting and waited for school to be over.
Zhixing checked the time on his phone after turning on Do Not Disturb, and after confirming that this was the last class, he leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and recovered his strength.
