Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Looking at the scenery outside the transparent elevator that was no less beautiful than the Ferris wheel, I turned around and looked at the elevator button on the side.

Chapter 5 28

On the right side of the elevator door are the floors 1 to 30 arranged in an orderly manner, while on the left side is a display screen that counts decimal from 30 to 160.

Touch the button to the left, and a row of corresponding layers from 1 to 9 will appear on each button.

I clicked one at random, but found that it didn't light up.

I tried again and found that only the top 169 could be lit.

"Huh, this is still a lucid dream after all. I guess it's like the layers of dreams in Inception."

"Obviously, one of the exits downstairs is just a shabby little hospital with bicycles parked on both sides. 169 floors? Are all floors above 30 wards? What a joke! What the hell is going on in my area?"

Zhixing stayed in the elevator until batches of patients and nurses had left, and then arrived at the hospital rooftop.

Zhi Xing walked out of the elevator and approached the landscape surrounded by a circle of flowers step by step.

Standing on the shoulders of this giant, you can actually see many skyscrapers that are comparable to it.

As he got a little closer to the railing, an urge to jump up made Zhi Xing stop.

I counted the floors I could see from my fingers.

As a result, the building has already exceeded 30 floors before reaching the edge. Thinking back, before I traveled through time, 30 floors was a standard high-rise building.

Zhixing laughed out loud in the garden.

Fortunately, there was only one person on the rooftop, otherwise he might have been sent to the nearest hospital.

After a while, the sky had turned yellow, and Zhixing rubbed his eyes, which were filled with tears.

Looking at the sky, I realized belatedly that I might have missed the main characters again.

No, Zhixing shook his head. If he didn’t even know where the male supporting role was, there was no chance of meeting him at all.

Although he wanted to turn his grief and anger into appetite, Zhihang still finished his dinner honestly and went to the hospital to get rid of the waste that had accumulated over the past few days.

Zhihang could only look back every few steps, gazing at the towering hospital, which was gradually obscured by other tall buildings.

Since ancient times, CT has never looked up. In this city with an inexplicable area, there is no sense of incongruity in front of the paper line.

Now that I think about it, a large hospital only has that little space for parking bicycles.

There are many parks and abandoned factories throughout the city, and people are even in the mood to create various wonders on rooftops.

"Yeah, how could I forget that far-reaching setting."

【The life we ​​have today is the result of the joint efforts of all the magical girls who have ever been born.】

Even if monsters have changed fundamentally, the current world is still the product of the expectations of young girls.

When Zhixing returned to the park where he had slept for two days, the street lights were already on, as if mocking Zhixing for having wasted his time today.

Zhixing casually put down the bag of food and glanced at the notebook where he had been writing and drawing for the past two days without any intention of opening it.

I collapsed in the chair, exhausted both physically and mentally, looking at the city night sky where stars could be seen.

His mind was so confused that he couldn't fall asleep. Fortunately, Zhixing sat up and calmed down all night.

As daylight gradually rose, the streets began to become bustling with people working late into the night to make breakfast.

Zhixing glanced at the road outside the park, then at the sky, his eyes inevitably drawn to the tall buildings nearby that could not be ignored.

Looking at the tall building, Zhixing thought of the hospital on the 160th floor and the male supporting role who was staying in a single room due to a car accident.

Hmm? Aren't all these 160 floors single wards?

Trying to think about something, Zhixing shook his head and said self-deprecatingly, "After all, he's still poor. He's a musical genius and has been able to perform solo concerts since he was young. That's a concert hall, not a school auditorium. He has a single room, so what's wrong with being able to stay in a ward on the 160th floor of a hospital?"

Thinking of this, Zhixing thought of Xiaolu, a marginal figure in the protagonist group, who was a young lady but failed to become a magical girl; Xiaolan, who came from an ordinary family but was able to sit in the first row of the concert hall since childhood; and Xiaohuang, a senior magical girl who did not ask for anything in return and was willing to help others. Although both parents died, she still lived in a two-story apartment and did not even have to work part-time to pay for her studies. She also treated her friends to black tea and cakes.

When I think about it, Mitakihara Junior High School, named after Mitakihara, should be considered an aristocratic or key middle school.

As the absolute protagonist Xiaofen, who was in the same class as Xiaolu and Xiaolan from childhood to middle school, and whose name is even directly mentioned in the anime title, Kaname Madoka lives in a two-story villa. Her father is the homemaker and her mother is the sole supporter of the family of four. I'm afraid she is quite middle class.

However, there was no sign of that in Xiaoyuan's performance. She seemed to be recalling something. She was agonizing over the hair tie, envious of Xiaolu who received love letters, and even went to school with a piece of bread in her mouth.

As Zhi Xing thought about it, he subconsciously muttered, "Come to think of it, Madoka is even so happy that she can make a wish for a kitten."

"Ok?"

Zhixing's thoughts suddenly stopped.

Cat? Cat? Black cat?!

Zhixing suddenly became energetic and rubbed his head with his hands after staying up all night.

If I remember correctly, in the radio drama that was a supplementary extra, Madoka's wish was to bring a cat that was hit by a car back to life.

Zhixing stood up suddenly, then sat back down with cerebral anemia, and quickly ate breakfast, trying to restore his thinking ability while eating.

Speaking of cats, I remember that when I first woke up after traveling through time, I saw a black cat and a female student.

Although the female student was not wearing a school uniform, her figure indicated that she was a minor.

However, that might be the member of the protagonist group that he has been looking for, the mysterious and strong second female lead Xiao Hei.

And if that black cat is the one that the wish was made on, then Xiaoyuan will definitely pass by that area. Stray cats all have their own territory, and if you can see it, it means you can pass by.

I was saying it, he obviously traveled through time for a purpose and sent me here specifically. How could there be nothing going on at the first crime scene?

His eyes rekindled with fighting spirit, and Zhixing took out his notebook.

On the hand-drawn map, the original origin, which is used as the coordinate reference for the route, is the restaurant not far from the pedestrian street.

Chapter 6: The Reasons Until Now

Zhixing hurriedly walked back along the route on the map and soon returned to the restaurant where he had had his midnight snack.

Zhihang put away his notebook and looked past the multi-story shops, trying to find a shopping mall not far away.

Although it was night, and he was wandering around looking for an alley, he even ran away from several streets after borrowing a mobile phone.

But the architecture of this world is still pretty outrageous.

The mall is not very tall, so the paper shop is on the street across from the restaurant, and you have to walk to the intersection to see the mall which is blocked by the 3-story building.

But I can recognize it as the destination because this mall is extremely long, it feels like it can host the Olympics.

However, the mall is easy to recognize because it is long, but at the same time, its length means it has more exits.

Paper companies don't care about exports at all.

As soon as he determined the target, he rushed towards the mall.

Although I missed the school dismissal time last time, I specially checked the school dismissal schedule.

But the paper bank didn't record what time school started, and there were no mobile phones to check the time now.

Therefore, the paper merchant came here in a hurry without even finishing his breakfast.

Maybe the bad luck of the past few days has come to an end.

Zhixing watched as another park appeared on the way to the mall.

The location of the fountain in the park made Zhixing hesitate for a moment, then he took a detour, stood at a certain position and looked at the fountain.

As expected, it was another scene from "Madoka Magica". On the way back from Xiao Huang's house, Xiao Yuan encountered her childhood sweetheart Xiao Lu who was controlled by the witch's skill "Witch's Kiss". So she took an unusual route to the witch's place and finally joined forces with Xiao Lan to defeat the witch and save Xiao Lu and others.

The current perspective is the same as the perspective in the camera. As expected, this is the place where Madoka will pass by.

So after confirming the information, the paper bank did not interrupt its journey and safely saw the entrance to the pedestrian street and the main gate of the shopping mall deep inside before the students showed up.

Although I was looking at the paper from a distance, I couldn't see clearly whether the words on the mall were consistent with my memory.

But the paper shop didn’t have time to run back and forth to confirm.

Standing at the intersection of the pedestrian street and the road, looking at the sparse traffic in the morning.

He leaned against the wall beside him, recovering his breathless body while holding a pen and a notebook and eating the breakfast he had stuffed into his pocket so as not to affect his running.

As the sun gradually rises, the city quickly regains its vitality.

Soon, the paper shop saw students walking towards the school at one end of the street.

Standing on one side of the road, Zhixing cannot observe the appearance of students on the opposite street.

But before anyone arrived, Zhihang connected the school and Park Road in a straight line to determine the intersection where the other party must be approaching.

Although Zhixing is a homebody, he does not have any talent for painting, and naturally cannot sketch.

But Zhixing still thought of a way. He took out the change he got from the convenience store from his pocket and used it as a reference to roughly describe the fatness or thinness of the faces and the corresponding hair of every female student passing by. After all, they were all in school uniforms and could not be distinguished.

Although I really want to recognize who Madoka is just by looking at her face to face, it is obvious that the gap between the live-action version and the anime is huge.

He put down his pen only after waiting for a long time and seeing no students coming to school.

Knowing that there was still a long time before school was over, Zhixing dragged his sleepless body to the park in front of Mitakihara Junior High School.

Leaning on the bench, Zhixing didn't dare to let himself rest, for fear of oversleeping and missing the opportunity again.

Looking at the school gate where the first class had just started, it was obvious that no one would go out.

Like a kaleidoscope, the experiences of the past few days flashed through Zhixing's mind.

I knew even when I was just watching anime that in the world of "Madoka Magica", it is difficult for ordinary people, especially those who know the inside story, to survive.

Because the standard for monster hunting here is generally "despair", and things that trigger "despair" may only require a small thing to meet the conditions and be targeted.

In other words, there is no safe zone in the entire city, and any safe zone that exists is temporarily opened up by the magical girls.

Once the patrols are over, danger will fill the city at any time.

I've never encountered these monsters before, and I haven't even encountered the corresponding magical girls.

Logically speaking, such things without evidence can be completely ignored.

It’s just that one or two city names are matched with anime.

But this is "time travel" after all. When you, a person without any ability, travel to a place you are familiar with, knowing clearly that monsters may take your life at any time, and the magical girl who can give you safety has not been found.

The feeling that he might be sacrificed in the next second enveloped Zhixing's heart.

Someone once said that the most painful moment of the death penalty is not when it is carried out.

But waiting for death to approach little by little.

This is especially true when the death row inmate knows that the execution ground is ready, but does not know the specific date and time of execution!

The monsters hiding in the shadows, Paper Line still barely managed to move, tying themselves to the magical girl's patrol route.

But what about the others?

Although I only took half of the banknotes, there was a glimmer of hope that the other party would think that I was drunk and paid the bill and lost my phone.

But this is clearly self-deception.

Although his phone was out of battery and could not be located, he had been staying in the same park for several consecutive days. If he had checked his phone usage records, the police might have come to arrest him at any time.

After all, it is the near future, and all known crimes are attributed to the impulse brought about by the witch's "Witch's Kiss".

On the other hand, in this world where a 160-story hospital can be built, the intensity of investigation and law enforcement may be beyond one's imagination. It all depends on when the victim reports the crime.

Unfortunately, I am an illegal resident and no one has come to look for me so far, which means that I am not possessing someone else's body.

If the original paper line still had the idea of ​​meeting the real-life protagonists when it first traveled through time.

So the current paper line is simply to confirm the direction of the plot so that the monster can be made known.

If I surrender myself now, maybe I can be deported back to my country because of my Mandarin, and I can still survive. I have worked before, and factories in China at least provide food and accommodation.

But now is the only way to identify the monster.

When you go to other places, you no longer know who the magical girl is, or what the monster that may harm you at any time is. Even the concept of whether magic exists in this world cannot be proven.

Even though a miracle like "time travel" has happened, can I really deny that there is magic in this world? So won't I worry about being attacked by monsters?

The paper industry doesn't believe it from the bottom of its heart.

As for the feeling of worrying about monster attacks, Zhixing has experienced it in the past few days. It is a kind of terrifying thought that even Chinese horror cannot bring.

If you continue to live in this kind of atmosphere, the probability of being attacked is almost 100%.

"Just take a look and confirm the situation. Once confirmed, return home immediately! The touching storyline is unimportant! Once the plot is confirmed, leave this Mitakihara immediately!"

Zhixing relied on this thought to support his tired body and mind and did not fall asleep.
