Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"Where's that butterfly? Why did it suddenly disappear?"

Little Bear left the wall and sat back at the table, saying calmly:

"It wants me to tell you to come back to it when you are ready to make your choice."

"Does it say where it is?"

"not at all."

""

The paper merchant looked unhappy.

I clearly wanted to ensure that I would not choose to go back after the conditions were triggered, so I closed my eyes on purpose, intending to wait until the feeling was over before looking at the butterfly to refresh the conditions to trigger the return.

But now the other party chose to leave directly, which really disrupted the paper bank's plan.

What's worse is that in the original plot, Butterfly doesn't appear very often.

One time was when Amamiya Ren awakened her mask and came out to give it a push.

The second time was after Amamiya Ren was arrested and taken to the interrogation room. Due to an overdose of truth serum, her memory was disordered and the plan could deviate at any time, leading to a bad ending. The butterfly appeared again to remind Amamiya Ren of this only chance.

As for other situations that may arise, they are beyond the knowledge of the paper bank.

Of course, although Zhixing didn't know about the appearance of the butterfly in the plot, he still got a piece of spoiler information because of the existence of the barrage.

If the entire story of P5 is a game between the Velvet Room and the False God, since both parties are of the same level, after replacing Igel, the False God still gave Amamiya Ren the real power that could destroy himself.

Then the existence of Butterfly is the owner of the Velvet Room, a higher being than Eagle.

But the paper industry doesn’t know much about the more detailed things.

But Zhixing understood that, judging from the current situation, the conditions for him to go back were not the Velvet Room or seeing the false god.

Although he already knew that the other condition was to see the awakening of the personality mask, Zhixing chose to give up because he knew that there was at least one poor guy in the Phantom Thieves who could obtain the mask.

But now it seems that even if the condition of personality mask awakening can be met.

However, if the condition of finding the butterfly in the velvet room cannot be met, then Kazuyuki is likely to be trapped here, and will not be able to leave this world until the arrest of Amamiya Ren occurs, which may or may not happen again.

Zhixing raised his head, looked at the little bear sitting opposite him, and asked hesitantly:

"How do you recognize it?"

"Of course, the second time you encounter it."

Zhixing recounted the scenes in which he met the other party.

Once was when the Velvet Room gave him the app, and once was when Paper Line went out of control and turned into a familiar.

And that time... Zhixing frowned. He could vaguely remember that Butterfly said something to him, but he couldn't remember more details. It would be better to say that the transformation of the familiar that time was a little different from the previous ones.

After being transformed into a familiar, Zhi Xing still has a certain degree of vision and can look forward following the movement of his body.

Then I just stared blankly without any ability to think.

And that time, Zhixing felt as if his memory was fragmented.

I vaguely remember the scene of myself drinking soup with my back against the cell, and then after my body swelled, I suddenly woke up on the street in reality.

But at that time, Zhi Xing's thinking ability had just recovered, and the voices of the Phantom Thieves attracted all his attention.

Therefore, it was not until this moment that Zhixing noticed that he had no memory of that time period. It was not that the memory was boring or repetitive and therefore easily confused, but that he was completely unable to think of a similar scene.

"Was it that time when I drank the soup? What happened that day?"

Zhixing rubbed his temples with his hands.

Although it doesn't hurt, Zhixing always feels that he has received too much information today, so much so that his thoughts are a little blocked.

But Zhixing had no choice but to force himself to think.

Because in this world, there are not many people who can help you think about problems. After all, this is a world of superpower games that change your mind, so there are no people with truly high IQs.

When Zhixing thought of this, he looked at the little bear with some anticipation in his eyes.

After all, the only one who knows the current situation of the paper company is probably the little bear in front of him.

If all else fails, we can only seek the wisdom of netizens online to share the pressure of thinking.

The little bear nodded and presented himself well in front of the paper company:

"I found it quite interesting when I saw you turned into a toy, so I didn't go back, but followed you."

"Then, whoosh, you disappeared, and the room disappeared too. I couldn't even see where you were."

Zhixing put his hand on his face and consoled himself earnestly.

After all, Little Bear is just a teenage girl, and although she doesn't know what her wish is, the hope that remains is to repair her own doll.

It seems that she doesn't interact with other people, so it doesn't make sense to expect others to be strong. Who knows whether this witch turned into this out of despair or because her magic power was exhausted.

After Zhixing found an excuse for Little Bear in his mind, he listened to Little Bear's retelling of what happened next:

"Just when I was looking for you, suddenly several lines of patterns floated down from the sky. The patterns on them seemed to be similar to the words you asked me to tell that girl before, but they were all larger patterns."

"So I guessed that I might have returned to your body."

"So I came to the limit of this land, wanting to see who flew this thing over."

Zhixing looked away, feeling that this situation was indeed consistent with the witch's character.

After all, people who are not trapped in negative emotions will not appear in the witch's field of vision, and the little bear can indeed appear next to the paper line.

What's more, when he transforms into a demon, his whole body is probably full of magic power, so it is not impossible for the little bear to show up and be seen by the Phantom Thieves... What a joke.

It is understandable that one can see a witch in the cognitive world, but in reality, how can other people see the image of a witch deep in the witch's barrier?

In the story of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, when Anzu and Homura were watching the blue-haired fight outside the barrier, they showed what the situation outside the barrier should be like. Without using magic power, you can't see anything clearly!

Before Zhixing could sort out his thoughts, he heard the summary of the story.

"But I couldn't see anything, so I put my hands on you and wanted to take you away..."

As the little bear spoke, he shuddered all over, as if he had touched something he shouldn't have. Even though he was just recounting his memories, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, away from the paper.

Zhixing looked at himself and found that although he didn't take a shower often, he wouldn't get that dirty if the reset was triggered from time to time.

What's more, this is not the first time that the little bear has grabbed me and returned to the witch's barrier.

What was the difference in the situation at that time?

Then it was only that what Zhixing drank at that time was the despair that the witch wanted to abandon.

And according to the amount of soup a person drinks, whether he will become a familiar or not will be determined.

Zhixing's body at that time was probably unable to absorb so much power.

What to do with so much despair?

That would of course add to the level of demonization.

Realizing this, Zhixing suddenly shuddered and thought of a strange thing.

If the previous paper lines relied on the ability to reset, they could consume the power of despair, so that the witch would not need to use other people's souls to share this despair.

So how was the demonization incident resolved at that time?

After all, even if the paper line is reset, it is only the part of the magic power absorbed by the paper line's entire body.

The unabsorbed parts should be treated like clothes and are not included in the scope of reduction.

"What happened after that?"

"What did the Phantom Thieves do?"

The little bear quickly shook off the feeling of despair and continued:

"Shortly after that, I saw a few broken toys approaching from a distance."

"So I came to where they were and saw them fighting with something that looked very similar to your image at that time."

"Then after defeating it, he spoke something to the thing that couldn't be transformed back."

"Then the thing quickly dissipated, and at that moment I found myself trapped in this room."

Zhixing closed his eyes and tried hard to piece together the true situation from Futaba's perspective and Xiao Xiong's perspective.

But the physical injuries can be restored to their original state with the restoration.

But this is not the case with the consumption of memory and thinking.

So, with insufficient brainpower, Zhixing decisively chose to give up and planned to directly ask the parties involved for answers.

So he stood up and walked out in the direction the little bear said the butterfly flew away.

July 2nd (Monday) 13:48

The paper line lying on the ground moved its eyelids.

As if unable to adapt, the body slowly resumed movement.

Zhi Xing tremblingly propped himself up from the ground and felt particularly moved when he looked at the sunlight above his head.

"I'm really not the type to think things through. I'd better leave this kind of thing to others..."

Zhixing never thought that because he was thinking too much at the time, his body instinctively acted on the spot and chose the path of chasing the butterfly, thus finding a way back.

But Zhixing forgot that it was not his own palace, but in the soul gem inside the witch's body.

So, after being choked a few times and finding no trace of the butterfly anywhere, Zhixing wanted to touch the Seed of Sorrow to see what would happen since he was already there.

Then... before Zhixing swam there, he found himself turned into a familiar.

There was no way. The witch's magic was not water after all. Surrounded by this magic, Zhi Xing had long lost his sense of touch to his surroundings, so he didn't realize when he had expanded.

When he realized that he was no longer swimming forward, Zhixing could no longer bring himself to go back.

What's even worse is that the location of Zhi Xing's transformation is different from the previous demon transformation. At that time, it was inside the witch's body, the witch with a lot of magic power!

The cognitive bear is trapped in the soul gem and cannot see the outside, and the witch cannot see inside her own body.

So Zhi Xing stayed motionless inside the witch's body for a long and dark period of time with no help from heaven or earth.

Zhixing couldn't say how long he had stayed in the witch's body, but his thinking, which had been slowed down by the demonization, had long since stopped.

It was not until the butterfly reappeared that Zhixing had the chance to speak.

After Zhixing recovered and regained control of his body, he took out his cell phone and checked the time.

After confirming that it was the normal plot and the day when Kamoshida confessed publicly, Jixing understood why the butterfly appeared, and at the same time, he searched for hot events with a complicated expression.

As expected, the news that Kamoshida, the gold medalist, confessed his guilt in public and was taken away by the police has become known to the public, and the school's suppression of this negative news has just begun.

But compared to all this, Zhixing quietly logged out of the Internet and looked at the clean desktop of mobile phone No. 3.

"Is this considered taking advantage of someone's misfortune? I should say that this cannot go on. I need to go back! Why did you sneak attack me?"

"How can this end?!!"

Zhixing looked at his phone, revealing a hint of despair that was even greater than being trapped in the witch's body.

In the p5 game, there is such a speedrun ending.

It only takes a few minutes in total, and if you exclude the opening animation, it may be less than a minute.

That is to choose not to agree to the original contract.

According to the comments in the barrage, this is because you don't think such a situation will occur, so there will be no masks and temples in the game.

So the game did not change and the ending was reached directly.

After Zhixing confirmed that there was no other world navigation app on his mobile phone, and that Kamoshida would not confess publicly until today.

A theory that the paper industry should have known long ago once again surfaced in the paper industry's mind.

Destiny cannot be changed. Even if the process may be different, the ending is still destined.

Zhixing has always felt that if the influence is expanded, the outcome will definitely change.

Therefore, even though Zhixing tried several times and did not see the awakening of the personality mask from the onlookers, Zhixing still chose the path of spreading the app.

The purpose is naturally to prevent the existence of the Phantom Thieves from falling to zero, or after defeating the false god who is the hidden boss, no one can testify to Shido Zhengyi's crimes, thus causing the protagonist to lose more than two months in Shibuya.

But if it doesn't go as expected by the paper bank.

As the source of spreading the app, once the app in Zhixing's hands disappears, the app he obtained because of him will also disappear.
