Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Zhixing also tried to call out the other person's name after entering the impression space, but there was no [teleportation] function, nor was there a function like the other world navigation app that could display the location.

The paper line gritted its teeth and turned several layers of impression space.

Not only did he fail to find the target, he didn't even see a single distorted space that was in the wrong place.

The paper industry quickly realized the problem.

The shadow in the distorted space is the prototype of the palace, and the palace cannot be seen directly even if you enter the impression space. Similarly, the shadow in the distorted space is also hiding from other shadow monsters and cannot be found simply in the impression space.

Of course, Zhixing can also try the exhaustive method, searching every layer of impression space to see which layer the other party is on.

However, Zhixing only tried this method once before realizing that it would be impossible to do so before the other party starved to death.

It's different from the game where there are dead ends everywhere.

Although each layer is not as big as a city, it is still the size of several districts.

It takes more than ten hours just to go around the circle, which is because there are vines on the lower level to guide you, otherwise it would be difficult to find a passage to go down.

Paper companies have also tried using transportation.

But facing the attacks of shadow monsters on the road, Zhixing can only ensure that he is safe, but the moving car is not so lucky.

When faced with the problem of transportation, the paper industry quickly thought of imitating the existence of the cat-like car.

The cognitive existence is indeed created on paper through fantasy: after the witch grows into Witch Night, a passing tsunami swallows up the island, leaving her with no chance to go back, and the emotions accumulated under this speculation are created.

However, in the space of impressions, this cognitive existence is diluted very quickly.

Zhi Xing then understood why there were only shadows. There were enough emotions accumulated, but the shadows of the distorted space were empty spaces, without even a cognitive existence to satisfy desires.

Because the impression space is composed of everyone's cognition, it cannot be maintained outside without the obstruction of the temple.

The Phantom Thieves even found it difficult to destroy the buildings in the palace. Only some movable mechanisms could be damaged, let alone a world that was shared by countless shadows.

Unless there is a place like in "Dangan" where hundreds of millions of eyes gather in reality for cognition, it is impossible to preserve the existence of cognition, or even to summon the existence of cognition to the surface of reality or impression space.

Anything that can exist in the space of impressions is the product of the common cognition of many people.

And only those who have reached the level of shadow monsters can do so, which is why the original shadow monsters are divided into different races.

After walking through several layers of impression space without any means of transportation, Zhi Xing returned to the top to think about other solutions.

After trying to bring the two people into the impression space without any response, and trying to send them into the witch's room without any effect, and even having them taken away by the witch to be processed into dolls, Zhixing had to try to find a possible solution through recall.

"Except for Madoka Magica, which is my main job, and Conan, which has the Scarlet Witch."

"Back then, I seemed to have left a Witch's Kiss in Kenichi's place, but the warriors in that world have Qi, so maybe they have a way to deal with inner demons. Hmm... I think I need to go back and make amends for the trouble I've made, but first I need a way to retrieve the Witch's Kiss."

"This method was used in P5, but at that time, there was a command from Little Bear Shadow. But now, there's no way of knowing whether Little Bear Shadow is still inside the witch."

"Besides Shadow Bear, there is another way, and that is the Phantom Thieves."

"I don't know how I was able to appear in reality after being demonized, but the Phantom Thieves undoubtedly solved that problem. I just don't remember it. It's strange, considering I still have some memories of being a puppet in the witch's barrier."

"It's also because the power of the cognitive world can indeed affect the power of witches. So, during the time of Dangan, with Kamizura Izuru who had learned the method of cognitive world, I dared to unscrupulously let those desperate remnants be infected with the witch's kiss."

"The power of the cognitive world can definitely affect the power of the witch, but what exactly is it?"

Although Zhixing was trying to recall the memories of that time, it was just like not being able to remember the knowledge points in the exam room. If you don’t read the book again, you really can’t remember it.

Zhihang tried hard for a long time but still had no clue.

"Could it be that the Phantom Thieves were targeting Shadow Bear, and without his support, my familiar transformation was lifted? But I could still see Shadow Bear afterwards; he simply hid in the Soul Gem in the witch's belly."

"There's no being in this world that can rival the witch. Otherwise, I could have fought her in her room and put myself in her belly with a rope to see what was happening with the Soul Gem."

Although according to previous experience, it is only the journey to the Soul Gem, and Zhi Xing can still hold on and not completely turn into a familiar, but once it is flooded, it will take ten years to go out to sea.

There is no such transcendent thing as a butterfly. Zhixing has no doubt that once he is trapped, it will not be a matter of ten days, but he may be trapped for several years.

Paper companies still don't dare to take such risks after knowing the risks.

"So, is this the only way? Let the protagonists become the Phantom Thieves?"

As early as "p5", Zhixing had been certified by those passers-by. Not everyone can awaken a personality mask.

Even in "Dangan", there is an extra layer of contract, and only the impossible person who can turn his hair white, the [Disciplinary Officer], can awaken.

Although the protagonists of "Chuunibyou" are all high school students like Amamiya Ren and others, it is not clear how many Phantom Thieves can be produced by these few people, not to mention...

"If I had known I would need to bring them into the cognitive world, I wouldn't have pretended to be the Phantom Thieves' Joker."

"If I'm the only one without a Persona in the end... I won't be the one who gets changed, right?"

Zhixing was caught in a dilemma and could not help but close his eyes again to observe the situation on Ruka's side.

Although she is a middle school girl with a second-year syndrome, she is still normal during class and does not talk or cause trouble.

But unfortunately, in the entire picture, apart from the rough silhouette of Rikka in the center, the other people and the layout of the room are very blurry.

Zhixing originally wanted to name this suddenly acquired ability "Clairvoyance".

But this blur made Zhixing realize that there was something wrong with his vision, and he came to a rough conclusion after a simple experiment.

First of all, the targets that can be observed are only Rika who is far away on the other side of the sea, and the two people with the Witch's Kiss in front of Zhixing. Zhixing cannot see the others no matter how hard he wants.

Second is distance.

It had nothing to do with the distance between him and the other person. When he maintained this field of view until the other person came home from school, he suddenly realized that the position behind the residential area, from the balcony to the bushes on the first floor, was particularly clear.

Zhixing soon realized that with this ability, he could probably only see the places and shadows that he had seen in his cognitive world, while things he had not seen would be blurry.

And through Zhixing's experiments, he also discovered that the vision in his mind can move with the opponent's shadow as the center, and Zhixing has a sufficient understanding of this ability.

[Camera] is the name given to this ability of Paper Action.

Originally, Zhixing wanted to call it something like the Sky Eye.

But after the [camera] got closer and found that there was a blind spot in the field of vision, Zhixing realized that he was relying on other people's cognition of Rikka, and the field of vision he obtained did not really allow him to see the other person.

After all, not only are there no golden contact lenses inside the eye mask, there is even a hollow black hole, which is really a bit scary.

Even if it is a shadow Rikka, the eyes are still normal.

Zhixing could only suspect that it was because Rikka did not take off the blindfold in public.

"Seriously, I'm trapped here because of my own mistake. And there are two adults. Even if I could use Stealth to bring others with me, I still wouldn't be able to carry so much, especially since I'm the only one."

Paper Line has tried to operate the cart in [Sneak] mode, but Paper Line disappeared while the cart remained.

After many attempts, Zhixing confirmed that if he wanted to bring other things with him, he had to be within the magic barrier that surrounded him so that they could be covered by the cognitive world.

"The [Witch's Barrier] can't hold them both for much longer. Using medication to control their suicidal behavior won't last much longer."

"A character like me, who fell into despair upon my arrival, has no chance of giving birth to a temple. Otherwise, with the temple's shadow, if I transfer it to the shadow, it would be easier to take it away."

Seeing that Rikka had already started to leave school, Zhixing rubbed his head, which had worked hard all day but still couldn't come up with any good ideas, and prepared to take a break to relieve his brain fatigue and prevent himself from accumulating too many negative emotions in helpless anxiety.

"Eh? No, the camera only sees each other from the cognitive world, right? If we put them back into reality, wouldn't all I see is each other's shadow?"

Zhixing suddenly raised his head and looked at the two victims.

Because of the Witch's Kiss, and because he wanted to leave the impression space at that time, Zhixing directly locked the two of them in the cognitive world. Even when testing the capabilities of the [Camera], it only tested the conclusions that could not be viewed in the [Witch's Barrier].

Zhixing first used [Sightseeing] to check the real room and found no police looking for the missing person. Then he put the two people into the [Witch's Barrier], then used [Steal] + [Wall Passage] to leave the room, and went to a nearby bush to release the two people from the [Witch's Barrier].

Zhixing restarted the [camera] and found that the two people who had followed him appeared in their respective rooms again, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the problem of the Witch's Kiss has not been solved, at least there is a way to delay time.

"At the moment, it seems that the plan of turning the protagonist group into the Phantom Thieves is more suitable. If we want to prevent them from contacting me, perhaps we can achieve it through a remote transaction."

"For example... like the Velvet Room, where dreams are used to rehabilitate people? But with the app... it seems like the [Detective] could have gone in himself at the time. Maybe it's possible without that?"

"I remember there was a supporting character in the anime with a random name among the main characters. I think she was a senior who loved to sleep... Oh, her name was Fennel on May 7th. Let's start with her then."

Chapter 393 The transaction was fruitless

After deciding on the goal, the paper industry did not waste time.

Under Zhi Xing's gaze, the Witch's Kiss was indeed slowly transferred to the corresponding shadow.

After verifying back and forth, Zhi Xing confirmed that his real self no longer had the Witch's Kiss, and then he relaxed. He then slightly moved his body out of the bushes so that others could find him, and then he [sneaked] away from here.

After all, Shadow has the Witch's Kiss, which allows the real body to move freely and not starve to death.

But the paper industry has no means to take away the shadow.

Zhixing entered the cognitive world and told the two shadows about his current life and death situation, but the two shadows reacted very slowly, giving Zhixing the illusion that he was in an ordinary hall.

With no other choice, Zhixing chose to leave.

But before leaving, Zhihang still has a small experiment to verify.

"I didn't see it. Is it possible that only the protagonists or those with a Witch's Kiss can be captured by the [Camera]?"

Zhi Xing returned to reality and looked at the housewife who was looking around with a terrified expression, and soon moved away from her.

"I brought them into the cognitive world, but after returning to reality, the camera couldn't see them either."

"Is it because the time spent in the cognitive world is too short?"

"No, it's probably just like those passersby, it's simply because of insufficient desire. But the classmates and teachers near Rikka's school can also see the blurry figure, but the center of focus is Rikka."

Zhixing looked at the few pedestrians around and gave up the idea of ​​continuing the experiment.

"If we want to conduct a comparative experiment, we should start with the protagonists. We've already used the camera to see the path they took to school."

He returned to the scene where the two victims were placed and found that they were still unconscious, but the valuables on their bodies were gone. He couldn't help but sigh, and then pointed the [camera] at the shadows of the two people again.

"They didn't interact with their family, and even though their main body wasn't home, they didn't follow them to the park. It really seems like they weren't following any instructions. Could it be that these two people, desperate enough to be captured by the Witch's Kiss, don't have enough desire to maintain their own shadows in the memory space?"

"Is it the magic from the Witch's Kiss that powers the shadows? Strange, how does Akechi Goro manage to so accurately strike ordinary people? Even after the palace disappeared, the app didn't respond when I entered their name. Or does he specifically target those with sufficient desire?"

Zhixing remembered Suzui Shiho, whom he had witnessed in P5. As the only ordinary person without a shadow image born from his own desires, he didn't have much idea at the time, but just wanted to see if there was a way for ordinary people to awaken their personality masks.

But the hospital at that time was also within the scope of Kamoshida's palace, and the corresponding cognitive existence could be projected, so Takamaki An stopped himself from going in to check. What Kazuhiro saw later was a cognitive existence controlled by the familiar after Shadow Bear transferred magic power through the contract.

The other is a half-finished thief who was led into despair by the Witch's Kiss after the contract ended, which caused him to develop corresponding desires.

If the magic power of the Witch's Kiss is too low, it will make them want to commit suicide, but due to lack of time accumulation, it is not strong enough, and it is not impossible for the corresponding shadow to appear.

"But Futaba's mom and the principal are fine, but how could the train driver be so precise? And it seems he skipped the three-coordinate limit and found and invaded my palace. It turns out the abilities I've acquired aren't comprehensive. Why does that butterfly keep asking me to sign a contract?"

Zhixing looked at the two people in reality who had not yet woken up. There was no trace of the witch's kiss on their necks. He then looked at the witch's kiss that appeared on the shadow.

Zhi Xing, who hadn't thought anything was wrong at first, felt a sense of disharmony when he realized that the shadow observed by the camera might not be a real shadow, but was caused by the witch's magic.

"This story is purely fictional."

"The characters, ideas, phenomena, and everything else in the story have absolutely nothing to do with the characters, ideas, and phenomena that exist in your reality."

“Only those who agree with the above views have the right to participate in this game.”)

The butterfly's contract and the disagreeing answer were recalled in Zhixing's mind.

"Why would they, who are already ordinary people, transfer the Witch's Kiss away because of the power of the cognitive world? Shouldn't that be a privilege only the protagonists have?"

"Or... is there something wrong with that contract?"

Zhixing had doubts in his mind, but he did not conduct any more experiments. Instead, he sat aside and waited quietly.

Until the two people were discovered and woken up, they went back home as if they didn't know what was going on. After observing them for another day and confirming that they would not be controlled, Zhixing set foot on the airport for international flights again and boarded a plane to the city where "Chuunibyou" was located.

"If you don't prepare well, the Phantom Thief Joker could suddenly show up at any time. After all, the Evil King's True Eyes are the strongest, and being targeted by him is a helpless situation."

"Don't make excuses for being lazy and walk alone."

"My Evil King True Eye has sensed it. The Phantom Thief has been lurking nearby, observing our weaknesses. Perhaps the Dark Flame Demon Lord is also one of his targets."

"Don't call me Dark Flame Lord!"

"Goodbye, May 7th Senior."

Rikka Takanashi, who plays [Evil King's True Eye], was pulling on a corner of Togashi Yuuta, who plays [Dark Flame Lord]'s backpack, and using the pulleys on the back of her shoes, she was being dragged out by him.

This farce did not escape the eyes of Fennel on May 7th.

Although Fennel was somewhat curious about the conversation between the two, she did not delve into it too deeply. Instead, she complained slightly outside the school gate:

"When will he come? Phantom Thief Joker, well, there are indeed a lot of rare things in her room, so it's not surprising that there are Phantom Thieves."

Although Fennel expressed her opinion, her voice was relatively quiet and the two of them had already gotten off the bus at their destination, so they didn't hear it.

As the door closed, Fennel rode the tram towards the next stop.

Soon Fennel arrived at the station, got off the tram, and went straight home. Nothing unexpected happened until she returned to her room.
