Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Just like the collapse of the Phantom Thieves was due to the disappearance of the app given to Amamiya Ren by the false god, so everyone could no longer enter the other world.

This action, which cut off the source of the problem but was in line with the rules of this world, made Zhixing deeply realize that he was powerless to change his fate.

Just when Zhixing seemed to be about to hear the little bear's voice again.

The cell phone that had been abandoned by Zhi Xing and fell to the side began to ring.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Zhixing to answer the call, the phone naturally connected to the communication.

A mixed voice of men and women rang out from phone number 3.

"Finally found your signal. I thought my phone was out of battery. Are you okay? Hey, can you hear me?"

Chapter 280 There is no reason to stay

Zhixing's gaze moved downwards, as if his attention was distracted, staring at the number 3 phone that was calling.

"What's wrong? Hey, are you there, Yuuji Sakai?"

Not hearing any response from the paper bank, the person on the other end of the phone became obviously anxious.

"I am here..."

Zhixing responded weakly to Futaba's question, but had no intention of picking up the phone.

Because the current situation shows that if I go to other worlds, it is very likely that everything I have gained in this world will be reduced to zero because of the unchanged fate.

Just like the world of P5, the other-world navigation app that I had obtained a long time ago and even used for quite some time, was given by others and also taken away by others.

Not to mention that in the previous Kenichi world, he couldn't even master such a basic skill as physical exercise.

Even the personal belongings that Conan could obtain were not exchanged at the expected rate due to the lack of legal certificates, and they had even been squandered and turned into the currency of this world.

The only witch who still exists and the only one whose fate has not yet changed is also facing the possibility of being taken away by the Law of the Circle at any time.

But at the same time, the existence of the witch is Zhixing's only hope to change his fate.

After all, as long as the Principle of the Circle is born, no matter in which world or time period Paper Line is in, it should not be able to escape this fate.

Therefore, if the witch exists, the principle of the circle does not exist, and fate can be changed.

Therefore, Zhixing can still continue to take risks with a glimmer of hope.

Zhixing really wanted to convince himself this way.

However, with such an excuse, which so easily negated the influence he had worked so hard to expand, Zhixing really couldn't believe that he could really gain the power of other worlds by going to them.

"I'm not the type to venture into other worlds after all."

"Staying at home, letting endless numerical games and repetitive isekai anime fill my time, this is the life I should have."

"Oh~ I'm so tired."

Zhixing's mind had just come out of the despair of losing the app, and he immediately chose the way he had always survived.

Escaping from real problems, waiting for time to smooth them out.

No matter how big the problem is, there are always tall people to deal with it. As long as time passes, there is nothing that cannot be faced. You just need to avoid the impulsive on-the-spot reaction when you just realize the problem.

So even though he had been living in the witch's body as a familiar for a long time, and had been reset countless times during this period, Zhixing still chose to close his eyes and live in peace with the world.

Futaba, who was ignored as Zhixing escaped, continued to talk for a while but heard no response. She had no choice but to cut off this hard-earned connection, allowing Zhixing to sleep on the ground undisturbed.

Zhixing didn't sleep for long.

When it was time to go home from school in the afternoon, the Phantom Thieves led by Amamiya Ren received instructions from Futaba and came to the location where the No. 3 phone was located and found the paper line lying on the ground.

After trying to wake him up without success, they were the only two boys in the Phantom Thieves.

Amamiya Ren and Ryuji lifted the paper sheets on the left and right, and then walked towards the nearest hotel.

After the Phantom Thieves put Zhi Xing to bed, they talked to Futaba on their phones and then left the room.

Just after the door was closed, Zhixing opened his eyes, which had not been awakened before.

Slowly propping up his body, which was not sleepy at all, Zhixing felt that there was no point in moving forward.

The experiment that was originally being conducted to awaken the mask was also forced to stop.

So Zhi Xing’s reason for staying in this world no longer exists.

But...Zhi Xing has no idea what to do next.

He raised his head in confusion, looking at the reflection on the TV in the hotel, who seemed to have become a disabled person and had lost interest in everything. Zhixing was too lazy to even laugh at himself.

I just want to sleep soundly in this hotel and never get up.

But with the support of this body that couldn't sleep at all, Zhixing just felt very bored. He didn't care whether he had corrected the noise caused by the previous demonization or not, and he entered the witch's barrier, the witch's room, and the room of the doll tower with ease.

He took out all his backpack, computer and other things that he had left here, and then started to kill time in the room by watching anime.

Time passes quickly.

Before Zhixing could use these anime dramas to fall asleep, he heard the sound of someone opening the door.

Turning his gaze to the person who opened the door, he immediately saw that everyone in the Phantom Thieves except the third male member, including Sakura Futaya, Okumura Haru and others, had all walked into the room.

Suddenly surrounded by a large crowd, as if they were treating a patient, Zhixing, who was clearly not watching any restricted-level anime, subconsciously pulled down the cover of his computer and asked curiously:

"Why are you here?"

I saw that Zhixing didn't look like he was about to die.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally focused their attention on Sakura Futaba, who had the most contact with the paper company.

"I...everyone...is that"

He left the room where he lived alone and faced the new and old Phantom Thieves, people he was not familiar with.

Futaba Sakura, who had not yet gotten rid of her loneliness, could not even speak clearly, so she could only point and hand over the right to speak to the nominal leader of the Phantom Thieves, Amamiya Ren.

Amamiya Ren nodded, took his hand out of his pocket, and then told Zhi Xing the purpose of himself and others.

"First, the future you described earlier focused on me and didn't mention anything about Okumura's father. Could you please tell us more about this?"

Zhixing reminisced and quickly remembered that he had recounted the story of Amamiya Ren's jump from the ship in the name of the future, but the focus was on the bonds that led to Amamiya Ren's rebirth.

After all, at that time, Zhixing speculated that this world was still a world with a bad ending, so he did not dare to casually explain the situation of the hall, so as to avoid omissions in intelligence, which would lead to a situation where Zhixing caused the fate of this world to have a bad ending.

But the situation now is completely different from before.

Zhixing was not even sure whether Amamiya Ren still had the power of the other world app under the contract that he and the butterfly disagreed with.

Because logically speaking, if Amamiya Ren also signed the option of disagreement, then Akechi Goro, who obtained the power of the personality mask long before Amamiya Ren, should also become unable to influence Amamiya Ren.

Therefore, it is very likely that both of them will be unable to enter the other world.

And now that they have gathered here, it seems to prove Zhixing's guess, so Zhixing also spoilers without any worries:

"The nature of Okumura's temple is to achieve oneself at the expense of others."

"For the company, they will regard it as a machine that generates cash flow, always taking orders and providing services at any time."

"For family, it's seen as a ticket to higher power."

"So, as fate would have it, Okumura Haru will become a member of the Phantom Thieves, helping them break through their psychological defenses and steal the treasure."

Zhixing glanced at Okumura Haru and could clearly feel that he had learned the truth about the cognitive world from the Phantom Thieves, so he also understood that Zhixing did not have the ability to form a contract, but just wanted to watch him awaken the mask.

So when facing Zhihang's gaze, he did not show the angry emotion he had a week ago.

Then the paper went on to say:

"Gaixin's plan was successful. The premonition letter successfully materialized the secret treasure and allowed you to take the secret treasure away after defeating Okumura."

"However, just after you left, a shot was heard from another location, and it ended Okumura's shadow's life very accurately."

"So, you, who originally just changed your hearts, ended up crippling Okumura Haru's father, and even made Okumura Haru doubt whether you were really partners in justice."

"Well, it's not your fault. After all, someone wanted to quickly open up the lower levels of the Impression Space, so he wanted to pick someone with a high enough reputation, and so he chose the number one person in the Phantom Thief Commission."

"But they didn't know that the Okumura Palace was a deliberate trap."

"The villain who has become useless is waiting for you to send the notice letter so that he can deliberately kill you and reverse your approval."

At this time, Long Si, who was being watched by Zhi Xing, shouted at Zhi Xing angrily:

"Why did you suddenly turn around and look at me when you called someone? I'm not that impulsive, okay?"

As Long Si said this, he threw the dinner box he was bringing for the paper shop onto the bedside table in the hotel.

"So, if we just keep an eye on that villain, or resolve Okumura-kun's issue beforehand, then they can avoid this kind of outcome, right?"

As the student council president, Shinjima Makoto quickly grasped the key point and confirmed it with Zhixing.

"Yeah, it's a very simple thing..."

"If that's the only way to solve it, then you could have just told me after I awakened the mask. Why did you say it was destined?"

Hearing this, Gao Juanxing couldn't help but recall something and said:

"I remember that Mr. Sakai traveled back in time from the future to come here. So, the so-called fate is only known because this matter was attributed to the Phantom Thieves in the future? Why do you know so many details about the palace?"

"So... Yuuji Sakai is a player, right? Because... it was killed by the plot... so you think it's fate?"

Sakura Futaba also plucked up the courage to express her own opinion.

"From what I understand, Mr. Sakai came here to track down the Velvet Room and gain its power. So, he saw a detailed description of this incident in the Velvet Room files, correct?"

Amamiya Ren also openly admitted that he had a different kind of adventure compared to other members of the Phantom Thieves, just to confirm the answer to Paper Line.

In this situation where everyone has their own speculations but no evidence to prove their claims, everyone turned their attention back to Zhixing.

In the presence of outsiders, Zhixing couldn't control his expression after all. He smiled bitterly, opened his mobile phone, and showed it to everyone present.

"That's what I call fate."

"There are only three possible outcomes of interfering with the past."

"One is to enter a parallel world, so the ending can be changed at will."

"One is that changing the future will create a paradox, which will then change the future outcome, resulting in the grandfather paradox."

"And the last one is that the future changes the actions taken in the past, which in turn promotes the formation of a future barrier."

"I'm probably in the second situation right now. A kind of paradox has occurred, causing all my efforts to change the future to become the outcome of the future due to various unexpected events."

"So I really hope you can change your future, even if you only realized the future barrier under my influence."

Everyone fell silent as they looked at the phone in Zhixing's hand that no longer had the app.

After all, this app cannot be deleted no matter what. Moreover, according to the description in the paper, the disappearance of the app is the result of the collapse of the cognitive world.

Now that she showed up early and only targeted Zhixing, Okumura Haru couldn't help but clench her fists, and the other girls also looked at her, wanting to comfort her.

As the leader of the group, Amamiya Ren, probably to avoid suspicion due to Kyufune's jump, did not choose to comfort Okumura Haru who was under great pressure at the moment. Instead, he took out his mobile phone, opened his own app, and asked Zhixing the second question.

"So, you should know the coordinates of the other halls, right? Earlier at school, you used three different coordinates and nearly got a teacher lost in the hall."

"To be on the safe side, could you tell us the coordinates of the temples you know?"

When Zhixing heard this second request, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. This kind of thing must have been a temporary change after he just found out that he didn't have the app, so he said it so directly.

"It doesn't matter. I won't use it anyway, so I'll tell you."

"Let me see where exactly you started to head towards the end of your group annihilation."

Suddenly, Mona, who had previously been Okumura Haru's personal matter and had been somewhat indifferent to the matter due to unfamiliarity, suddenly became alert.

Then Zhixing closed his eyes and began to memorize the coordinates he knew.

"Who is that Madarame..."

"That person in Jincheng is..."

"Who is that Okumura..."

"Lion Boy Justice is the council chamber and the ship..."

Because there is no history record in the app, I can only rely on the impression in the video to recall the paper line of the keyword, if I feel that something flashed by.

The red flashing frequency reminded Zhixing of something familiar, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.

The moment Zhihang opened his eyes, the merciless sea water flooded the hotel floor where Zhihang was located, choking the unprepared Zhihang to the point that he was speechless.

In addition to being flooded by the sea, it seemed that an invisible pressure was about to be exerted on the paper line's body, and was about to expand outward from within the paper line's body.

The lines of the buildings that were surrounded by water began to distort.
