After all, there is that white shadow in this world, and it is obvious that the other party has a connection with the Black Organization and knows the identity of Miyano Akemi.
Zhixing originally thought that the white shadow had discovered that he was going to the Karasuma family, and had seen him, thus attracting long-range sniping from Gin and others.
But the normality so far has made Zhixing a little shaken about this speculation.
"...And then... Detective Shiratori managed to call for backup by using a back-up plan."
"When I saw you weren't here with me, I thought you already knew the situation here and were just talking to Lan about magic."
"But following the shouting of the detective who shot you with the imitation gun, we discovered your lifeless body... lying in a pool of blood."
"The fatal gunshot wound came from the same location where the tomato juice was sprayed to create the false death. We investigated the surroundings and found no bullet casings or traces of the bullet passing through the house."
"After repeatedly confirming your death, they even woke up Xiaolan and performed a divination on you."
"But the failure of the divination also indicates that it is not someone else's body."
After Conan finished speaking, he hesitated a little, but still asked Zhi Xing:
"Are you Kamijou Touma now, or... are you a replica of Kamijou Touma before he signed the contract?"
Zhixing made an X with his hands, then announced the truth:
"I just came to the scene of the transaction because I made a deal with Yuanzi. I planned to ask Yuanzi to issue a certificate so that I can go back in time and continue to exchange some start-up capital from Yuanzi's pocket."
Then, Zhi Xing couldn't help but ask:
"Um...did my deceased self leave any secret codes or anything like that? Or any words that are hard to understand?"
Conan shook his head, indicating that the paper lines at that time did not leave any clues or hints.
"This isn't right. This isn't the first time I've spoken to my future self. Communication across time and space shouldn't have any impact, right?"
"We didn't even meet up at Moon Shadow Island, why?"
Faced with this situation, Zhixing, who had gradually become more extroverted, began to murmur, but then he discovered a blind spot.
As I recall, Twilight Annex is the one in which Kidd is involved, and besides the movie and The Magic Lover at the beginning, it is the second place with a crime scene, right?
Could it be that because of the speed at which time passes now, I missed the time for the magic lovers' gathering, so I ended up at the Twilight Annex where I was bound to go when I was at Kidd's studio?
No, in that case, how could I, who has a record of death, not leave a message? Unless...
Zhixing widened his eyes and suddenly came up with a terrible guess.
Unless the me on Kidd's set is my past self, the me who tried to learn disguise techniques directly and came to Anko's side, the me who started the story of "Madoka Magica"...
Chapter 209 Entering...Game
Another past paper line.
After this conclusion came out, it quickly occupied the paper bank's thinking.
If my past self had entered Kidd's set first, then I didn't know that I would appear on Conan's set in the future. Naturally, I wouldn't take the initiative to get involved in things related to the Black Organization, and would only want to stay with the two protagonists and learn technology, right?
Compared to the Conan world where there is only money transaction that you don’t know whether you will get, the disguise and divination magic in this low-magic world are the most valuable things.
The reason I hadn't considered this possibility before was mainly because after returning home, I didn't see any traces or other things I had left behind. It was as if I had never left the Magic Circle.
But...what if the reason I didn't find anything is because I died in the Dusk Annex?
What if those three days were not entirely spent in the magic circle, and even if I went online normally after I came back, causing me to misjudge the time?
Lost all the items he had obtained and was reset back to reality? And Conan never saw him again, which means that he had lost the ability to go to Kidd's world?
The blessing of paper is like the arrival of the heart, and it feels like everything that happened before is connected in an instant.
If you are so pursuing stability, why would you choose to go to the Magic Circle?
Because I will never really die in this world.
I clearly didn't learn any other information in the Magic Circle, I just knew that I could go back, so why was it listed as a top-secret plan?
Since you can come back, the person who wrote the paper in the first place must have known about this.
Perhaps it was because he realized that he would lose his memory with reincarnation, so he gave up that round so decisively in the third round and started collecting information?
Maybe...the purpose of that information wasn't just to make me useful.
Perhaps this is also a means to allow himself to be controlled by the familiar through restarted thinking when the magical girl is not around, or after Homura's reincarnation, so as to restore his memory after death?
Judging from my own situation in the Magic Circle, if I die there, I will only lose some of my memories and enter the next round again, and I will not be able to escape directly, so the condition of Witch Night is left.
I feel a little contradictory. Is it because there is some information that I don’t know yet?
Does death mean returning directly to reality, or does it mean paying a price and moving to the next node? Or is it simply death?
"This is the same as what happened with the demihumans. They could prove it by dying once, but because they're uncertain about the situation, they don't dare to sacrifice their lives."
Conan watched as Zhi Xing fell into deep thought. He finally managed to mutter to himself and asked curiously:
"Kamijo-san, what does 'demi-human' mean?"
Zhi Xing came back to his senses, looked at Conan and chuckled:
"It's just something that can survive being stabbed. You probably can't touch it."
"That..."
"Okay, I've been in the bathroom for quite a while now, it's time to go back and check."
"Wait, I have something else to ask you!"
"If you've decided to believe that fate cannot be changed, then you can delay here. On the other hand, if you don't want Xiaolan to get into trouble, then go back and make sure you can enter the game."
"!!orchid?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Conan ran out quickly and immediately overtook the paper line that was moving slowly forward.
Watching Conan disappear, Zhixing repeated:
"If you decide to believe that fate cannot be changed."
"Then my future self can go to the Twilight Annex and understand everything directly."
"If it's my past self, then I can reunite with the past there and change history."
"If this is my future self, I can prove that my contradictions are caused by a faulty premise. That way, I won't have to worry about myself becoming so proud of this false assumption about resurrection that I choose a world with high martial arts or high magic, and then end up in an inescapable situation."
"If that's the case, I have to go to the next world as soon as possible so that I can check in here frequently to avoid missing out on this plot."
"I don't know if I can just use the name of the series as the coordinates and come directly here?"
Zhixing shook his head, knowing that all this would have to wait until at least the next world to find a way to fake his death with this body that could be reset.
After returning to the hall, he found Conan and others among the crowd, which was larger than when Conan first arrived. After confirming that Professor Agasa had not given Conan an admission ticket, he immediately walked aside and began to wait quietly.
I don’t know if this is the case in high society, or if Conan’s parties are always so rushed.
It hadn't been long since the first group of people entered, but Zhihang quickly noticed the two people who entered like stars among the crowd.
"Dr. Agasa? So the person next to him is Kudo Yusaku, who is smarter than Conan?"
Watching the two of them walk onto the stage surrounded by bodyguards and carry out non-follow-up publicity work at the invitation of the organizer Thomas Sindora, the paper shop, which was lamenting that it was easy to make money from famous people, also walked to the vicinity of Yuan, who was wearing a red dress.
"Long time no see, do you still remember me?"
When Yuanzi heard the call, he glanced at Zhihang, blinked twice, and said with a professional smile:
"Of course I know him. It's been a long time, haha."
Zhixing's mouth twitched, knowing that Yuanzi would not be able to remember him unless he was a handsome guy and not an acquaintance, he could only remind him:
"I told you at the beginning that I know whose witch your significant other is."
"Huh? You...witch? Ah, it's you!"
The suspicion of the same style finally made Yuanzi remember the paper shop that he had only seen twice.
Seeing that Yuanzi recognized him, Zhixing quickly spoke:
"The future hasn't changed. The artificial intelligence from Noah's Ark has already arrived in this building."
"Please inform your family and prepare enough gold. We will have a new round of transactions soon."
After Yuanzi thought of the paper industry, he quickly thought of other things related to it and said awkwardly:
"Sorry, that AI has infiltrated the company a bit too deeply, so we've already made an agreement with it not to interfere with its freedom, so there's probably nothing to trade."
Yuanzi tactfully modified her father's disagreement and then responded to the paper bank's idea of doing business again.
"Get ready. As I said, there will be a new round of transactions soon."
Zhixing glanced at the game entrance badge on Sonoko's dress that was not given to Xiaolan, and pretended to be confused.
"You mean...something's going to happen soon?"
Seeing Zhixing's emphasis, Yuanzi also reacted and thought about the other party's identity as a future person, and asked hesitantly.
"Yes, I'm going to ask for a huge price. Are you willing to pay?"
Sonoko thought about it with some annoyance, then walked to Xiaolan, handed her her badge and said:
"Sorry, something urgent happened and I need to take care of it for a while. I won't play this game for now. I'll leave Lan to you. Just relax and have a good time."
"Eh? Oh, do you need help?"
Xiaolan took the badge, but before she could take a closer look at it, she saw Sonoko hurriedly leaving.
Seeing Yuanzi going out to make a phone call anxiously, Xiaolan looked in the direction where Yuanzi came from and met the paper shop that had not left.
“Ah, Kamijou-san!”
Zhixing watched Yuanzi go out and call his family on the landline, and knew that the money obtained by threatening him would most likely be finalized.
So the paper merchant greeted Xiaolan leisurely, and I continued to stand there waiting.
At this time, after the propaganda work on the stage was fully demonstrated, everyone dispersed.
Zhixing watched Yusaku wanting to get in touch with Conan but being unable to because of his fans, watched Professor Agasa hand the badge to Conan, and watched the Junior Detective League exchange rare cards for the qualification to enter the game.
Finally, I watched Xiaolan and the Junior Detective Team walk step by step to the side of the game cabin.
Only then did the belated garden arrive.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. The butler has already prepared the gold and is on the way."
"how many?"
"Who would tell you how much your cards are? You've already admitted you're asking for too much."
Zhihang glanced at the children who were beginning to enter the warehouse, then looked towards the broadcasting room upstairs, which was also the monitoring center of the game.
"Let's go there and talk. That's where you can make a clear decision on whether to proceed with the deal or not."
Zhixing took a last look at the game cabin where everyone had entered, then took Yuanzi, who did not object to him and wanted to see what he was going to do, and slowly walked towards the stairs.
Just as the two of them were walking upstairs, a child's voice came from the radio.
Sonoko listened to the radio broadcast about a game that hijacked these players and said they would die if they didn't complete it.
This made Yuanzi, who originally didn't know what the paper company was going to do, understand the subsequent transaction.
"Hey, why didn't you tell me in advance that there was something wrong with this game?"
"Haven't you already given up on the hunt for Noah's Ark? That's another price."
"Then couldn't you tell me clearly in advance? That way, I could get Lan and the children away from here."
Seeing that Yuanzi was a little excited, Zhixing couldn't help but say:
"Don't think about regretting it. Even if I tell you, the fate that is going to happen will still be the same. You can't stop it from happening."
"What do you mean? If the ending can't be changed, then there's no point in not making a deal with you?"
Yuanzi's mind is rarely sharp.
At this time, Zhixing brought Yuanzi to the third floor, and after trying one room after another, they finally found the central control room. However, because it was locked, Zhixing had to walk to the transparent glass corridor and said to Yuanzi:
"Yes, the impact I caused will not change the outcome. So are you going to give up like this?"
"You know, there's a story about a certain area where people were given a date of death that they could never change."
"Some people couldn't accept it, some started doing things recklessly before their due date, and there was even one young man who, after seeing the death date was over 80, resorted to all sorts of extreme sports that could have put his life at risk."
"In the end... he lived until his death as a vegetable."
Zhixing copied the setting of a movie, then looked at Sonoko who was thinking after hearing the story, made a five sign and continued:
