Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Okumura Haru, who is unaware of the truth, is drawn into the cognitive world.

Completely isolated and helpless.

But Zhixing didn't really want to recreate the tail-ending plot.

As the other party looked around at the suddenly quiet academy, confused, Zhixing spoke:

"Do you long for freedom? Do you want to break free from your father's control? Do you long to truly live?"

Okumura Haru behaved like a normal girl, clasping her hands together as she stepped back, watching the approaching paper lines.

"Who...who is it! Do you want my father?"

Zhixing stood not far from the girl, wondering whether he should start throwing out settings of her cognitive world as soon as they met.

For no apparent reason, my brain suddenly jerked and I improvised the famous line:

"Sign a contract with me and become a magical girl!"

"Eh! Really?"

Zhixing paused for a moment, and seeing that the other party actually believed such words, he couldn't believe it.

But if you pour it out yourself, the paper line can still be continued.

"Of course."

Zhi Xing walked forward, his body flashed and disappeared, then reappeared in front of the girl out of thin air and stretched out his hand to her and asked:

"If you give up, that's the end of it, but you can change your destiny."

"You can't stop your desires and actions. Everything can be changed by you. You have the power to do just that."

Okumura Haru, who was caught off guard by Zhi Xing, put his fists to his face. After taking two deep breaths, he suppressed his momentary panic. Then, without hesitation, he looked at Zhi Xing and replied:

"If what you say is true, then I am willing.... Ugh~ah!"

Zhi Xing's straight outstretched hand bent back uncontrollably, and he looked at Okumura Haru in front of him who was already groping for his mask with some disbelief.

"Huh? So simple?"

While the other party is still distracted by the appearance of the mask.

Zhixing couldn't help but lower his head, reached out to touch his heart, then closed his eyes and repeated the words he had just said.

I see. Just like Kyubey would prefer hope to the girl's mood, for this world, all we need to do is make sure that our current mood has the will to resist.

What I want to resist is

Zhixing recalled the problems he faced, such as Kyubey, witches and magical girls, restoration and power, and participation in events and the unchanging fate.

Zhixing didn't wait for the urge to resist to arise in his heart.

Instead, I first felt the powerless despair contained in these problems.

[It’s okay to stop here.]

[You can also find the things you want to keep in real life here]

[There is no need to risk going to other places]

[When fate remains unchanged, there is no need to remedy the situation for the tiny possibility of change.]

[Even if you don’t have any talent, you’ve already worked hard. No one will blame you.]

Even if the Witch's Kiss is triggered out of despair before the Mask is awakened, and the accumulation of the desire to resist is not achieved, this is acceptable.

"...?"

Zhixing suddenly shuddered and woke up from his closed eyes, looking at the girl on the ground who had already started to peel off her mask.

I felt my mentality accelerating rapidly, but I didn't feel the slightest desire to resist anything.

I couldn't help but touch my neck, feeling the witch's kiss that could not be without touch, and an inequality emerged in my mind.

The shadow of cognition cannot stop the control of the Witch's Kiss, and the personality mask with flaws cannot stop the control of the Witch's Kiss.

If you want to awaken the mask, you need to provoke resistance. If you want to resist, you need something that leads to despair. Once despair comes, you will be controlled by the Witch's Kiss.

If you want to resist the Witch's Kiss, you need to have a personality mask. To have a personality mask, you need to be desperate first and then resist. When despair appears, the Witch's Kiss will appear.

Whether it is reality, impression space, or palace, the Witch's Kiss is now involved. The only place without it is the Witch's barrier, which excludes the cognitive world.

Witch and mask... can I only choose one?

Chapter 272 The next target: Madarame Ichiryusai

"No, there is still a chance."

Gradually regaining consciousness from the influence of the Witch's Kiss, Zhixing suddenly recalled a situation where the Witch's Kiss did not exist.

After all, it was a long journey and he was exposed to the sun for a long time. Although there were no marks left on his body and his clothes had been changed and washed, Zhihang still had a deep impression of it.

After all, there is no way up to heaven and no way down to earth, no local app to escape, and no plug-in to skip classes.

An experience that makes the paper industry feel dangerous.

Although it was only that once, after that, Zhi Xing would bring the witch's magic with him whenever he entered the cognitive world.

But after a simple process of elimination, Zhixing understood the key.

Although it is not known whether it was the external force of the witch's barrier that blocked it, or because there was a paper hall in the barrier.

In short, Futaba's palace was blocked outside the barrier.

The master of the hall at that time, Futaba, was in the witch's barrier.

Although the hall has nothing to do with the individual's position, even if Kamoshida is off work, the Phantom Thieves can still help Kamoshida sharpen his mind from a distance.

Not to mention that other people don’t have to be present at the scene. Just by recognizing the coordinates, they can reach the heart-changing ending with just one contact.

But Futaba has another identity, that is the reserve of the personality mask.

The power used by the personality mask is the power of the secret treasure of its own palace, which is the aggregation of its own desires.

So it is indeed possible that the palace moves according to desire.

Otherwise, when he came out of Futaba's palace, he should still be at Sakura's house instead of letting the witch's barrier move.

Of course, that would be an exception if Futaba considered wherever she was to be her home.

Just like the coordinates of the Paper Line's temple are the witch's barrier.

The barrier moves with people, so the hall is always moving.

If you want to know if this is possible, you need to find someone roughly similar to you to test it on.

Zhixing looked at Okumura Haru in front of him from his contemplation.

Okumura Haru has transformed into a beautiful girl thief, and the leather mask is still on her face.

"What is this, what is this dress?"

After a brief period of pain, Okumura Haru looked at his medieval ranger costume with some disbelief.

"Well, that makes you the third magical girl in this city."

Seeing that the other party did not have a stand behind him like Futaba, Zhixing knew that the other party's will to resist was probably not strong enough, so even though he was more qualified than Suzui Shiho, and did not even need the repeated suppression of the Witch's Kiss like Shiho, he awakened the mask.

But before this, his dissatisfaction with his father had accumulated over time, and he could not muster up enough desire to resist at once.

Just like Ryuji has always hated Kamoshida, but he was suppressed to the point of death and did not awaken the mask.

It was not until his actions harmed Amamiya Ren that Kamoshida's desire to resist reached a sufficient level.

Similarly, if Okumura Haru had not anticipated this, he would probably have needed to learn about his fiancé's sacrifice, face his fiancé's bad behavior, and understand that his status in his father's eyes had become a tool before he would have had enough desire to resist.

Zhixing probably realized that the value that Okumura Haru could see at the moment had already been demonstrated, so he wanted to act like a scumbag and just run away after a perfunctory response.

"I'm different from my peers. I don't ask you to do anything like defeating evil. Besides, the world is actually very peaceful."

"So, apart from the doomsday that will occur at the end of the year, you can use this power however you want."

Zhixing wanted to turn around and leave, but for Okumura Haru, whose worldview had just been refreshed, he naturally could not let this guide go.

"Wait! The most important thing hasn't been said yet!"

I don't know if it's the power given by the personality mask.

Okumura Haru, who was originally worried about Zhixing approaching, suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Zhixing who was about to turn around, fearing that Zhixing would disappear on the spot in the next second just like when he demonstrated his ability just now.

The contact of their palms made Zhixing frown.

Although I have a deeper understanding of the fact that fate cannot be changed, I still have no idea about Xiaoyan's strange setting that fate will not change after contact.

Since it cannot be disproven, just believe it first.

Zhixing turned his head and looked at Okumura Haru from where his hands were touching.

"Um...this identity called a magical girl, what can I do to change my father?"

Although Okumura Haru was asking questions with some embarrassment, he did not let go of her hand.

Zhi Xing turned around and explained to Okumura Haru:

"First, you have to remember these two words: headquarters building and space."

"When you pronounce these two words along with your father's name, you will be able to enter your father's witch barrier."

"There, you will see your father's true views of others, because the people there cannot lie. Then you will meet the witch who possessed your father's soul."

"Witch...? My father?"

"Don't worry about the details; it's just a general term."

"In short, you need to obtain the secret treasure representing the opponent's soul from the depths of his barrier."

"Then you can order him to do things for you. Whether it's repentance or change for the better, it all depends on your decision. No matter what the consequences, he will do it without hesitation."

Zhixing removed Okumura Haru's loosely grasped hand, then looked at the girl who still didn't fully understand this basic setting and added:

"When you get back, you can go watch Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It will be very helpful for you to understand this power."

"Of course, that's just a reference. After all, if it were completely consistent, there would be no chance of it being released."

"After watching it, you'll understand why it's so tepid."

After Zhixing finished speaking, he snapped his fingers loudly, but his other hand reached into his pocket and pressed the button to exit navigation.

The red and black ripples disappeared, distracting the girl's attention due to the sudden resumption of noise around her.

Without the support of the Phantom Thief Suit, Zhixing no longer stopped and turned to walk towards the school wall.

"Wait! How should I use this power?"

Okumura Haru stretched out her hand, but the strength was completely different from when she was in the Phantom Thief uniform, so the girl failed to catch the retreating paper line.

"Your gifted weapons are guns and axes. Let your imagination run wild. We will meet again someday, but not now."

Zhixing said hello and returned to the witch's barrier, leaving the half-awakened masked Okumura Haru free in Shujin Academy where there was no Kamoshida Hall.

The reason why Jixing wanted to leave was because he wanted to confront the boss of the next chapter, Madarame Ikryusai, before the Phantom Thieves who had just completed the Kamoshida dungeon in advance.

This is also the only one among the remaining hall bosses that Paper can still contact.

In order to explore the conditions for ordinary people to awaken the mask.

Zhixing was very careless and caused Futaba's palace to collapse.

And another easily relatable character, Kamoshida, has also been repented and has no temple.

Since there were no other characters in the original plot who might have temples, in order to find a place that could temporarily isolate the witch's power, Zhi Xing could only bring the masters of the temples into the witch's barrier to see if he could rely on their temples to achieve separation.

Among the physical education teachers, famous painters, gang leaders, corporate CEOs, and political newcomers.

With the physical education teacher no longer an option, the only one who can get in touch with the real person and has little ability to resist is Madarame.

What's even more convenient is that Madarame, as an artist, is the type who recruits apprentices.

His home address is public.

Zhixing flipped through the pictures he had taken on his phone when searching for hall characters, and compared them with the location of Shujin Academy on the offline map.

Look at the walking distance that takes several hours to reach.

Zhixing once again felt a little helpless about not having any means of transportation.

It’s not that paper lines can’t snatch real vehicles in.
