Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

[Mr. Mori]'s explanation, which lacked sufficient evidence, made Yuta feel confused again.

After all, among the people present, apart from Senior Anise who does not have the chuunibyou syndrome, Nibutani is the one who most wants to get rid of the dark history of "Mr. Mori".

"Hmm? Could it be that you teamed up with Anise-senpai and asked Nanamiya to come and prove your identity, just to get Touma?"

Thinking about the reason why [Mr. Mori] wanted to quit the club at that time, Yuta felt that he had understood the other party's thinking, but he did not expect that he would use human witnesses to verify his identity and trick back the "Dark Holy Book" that originally belonged to her.

"No, now let's find a way to protect her from the Phantom Thief..."

[Lord Mori] is still missing the other self who appeared at that time. If the secret treasure disappears, she will disappear with it. In order to protect her, [Lord Mori] thinks that the more teammates the better. But halfway through his words, he was interrupted by the [Thunder Hammer User] who had already come out of the window to the balcony to search.

"Master, come and see! All the people on the street have disappeared!"

"Oh! Indeed, this is the headquarters of the Phantom Thieves. It really has a powerful dark energy."

Upon hearing this, several people in the room came to the balcony one after another and looked into the distance, but there were no people or vehicles around them, and there was no trace of other people even in the building opposite.

"It's Sunday now. Everyone else should be out having fun at this time. Rikka's sister and my mom are out too."

Yuta still had an expression as if he had seen through reality and explained casually.

"Is that so? But then, I don't seem to hear any car noises."

Fennel, who came out with them, raised a new doubt, which made everyone quiet down a little.

As a result, the sound of the vehicle did not appear, but instead the sound of footsteps came from the quiet environment outside.

"I got it first!"

[Magic Demon Girl] quickly determined that the footsteps were coming from the stairs of this building, and immediately opened the door and ran towards the source of the sound.

"Ah, I won't lose. The [Evil King's True Eye] is the strongest."

[Evil King's True Eyes] was stunned for a few seconds before reacting and running over together.

In the end, Yuta was left alone. He silently took the key and followed him out the door.

But what he saw was several women following a person who shouldn't be there, and saying things they shouldn't have said.

"Sister Juka?"

"That [Phantom Thief] is in your house. We must find him as soon as possible. Otherwise, those monsters will come out from nowhere."

Chapter 413: Touka Kotori

"Touka Takanashi, how did she get in? Wasn't there no one at Rikka's house before?"

Zhixing was also a little surprised when he saw Rika entering the camera's field of view.

When Zhixing woke up from the lucid dream training, he saw Nanamiya next to "Mr. Mori" in the transition of vision. Then he tried to switch to Nanamiya's vision and confirmed that the other party had approached the protagonist group.

Afterwards, my attention was always on the protagonists. In addition, my attention was on another set during this period, and I had no contact with them for a while, so I forgot to look at Tohka.

If you are just an ordinary person, or an ordinary supporting role, then it is okay to accidentally enter the impression space. As long as you don't go below the surface, it is acceptable.

But Tohka herself is much more important than other supporting characters. She is the only person who does not have the second-year syndrome and is over the age of obtaining super powers. Even without the Witch's Kiss, she can still be followed by the camera.

Other people, whether it is the protagonist's parents, the classroom teachers, or even the protagonist's friends, are not within the range of surveillance of the [camera].

Even the heroine and hero on the set of "Charlotte" were not able to enter the [camera].

Zhixing speculates that this is because the superpowers have been plundered, resulting in something missing in the body, such as too low desire, so the layer of shadow is too deep to be seen.

But this kind of thing is hard to explain why Touka could be seen.

Therefore, Zhixing also wants to understand the uniqueness of Tohka herself. Zhixing has not yet figured out how to conduct this experiment, but it is definitely not to form a group with the protagonists.

After all, the purpose of Zhixing's operation this time was not only to send a warning letter, but also to test whether the secret treasure would appear if the time was too long. He also wanted to use this deserted city to bring some sense of oppression to these boys and girls to see if he could make them wake up on their own initiative.

In such situations, with an adult present, the pressure will involuntarily be transferred to Touka.

Although it's not too bad that Touka awakens, I don't know what the other prerequisite will be for satisfying the [Camera] selection.

"It seems that sleeping so long and so many times has affected my mental state. I'm only paying attention to the protagonists, even though the camera can only see one wisher, two Witch's Kiss, five Chuunibyou, one psychic Fennel, and one Juka."

"There were only ten of them, and switching only took a few seconds. It seems they weren't being cautious enough."

Zhixing sat on Yuta's real bed, watching them gathered on the stairs outside the door and talking, and began to think about how to take away Touka, the unplanned variable who was in the crowd.

While Zhixing was thinking, Shihua was surrounded by everyone and told them what she had seen.

"I heard from Rikka before that a [Phantom Thief] appeared nearby. I originally thought it was just a hoax because I asked many people and no one had seen it."

"But recently I heard from someone who eats here regularly that a stranger wearing an eyepatch went to the internet cafe and wanted to ask if I was Rikka's...relative."

"After all, Rikka has been to my shop before, so maybe she suspects a genetic disorder."

As Juka spoke, she glanced at the [Evil King True Eye] behind her, who was still touching his head and not daring to say a word. Then, she glanced at the two unfamiliar girls beside her and looked at the more familiar Yuta and continued:

"I went to the internet cafe over there and asked around. The man didn't really have any eye problems. When he came out, the eye patch wasn't covering his eyes."

"So I suspect the other party is the new character that Rikka mentioned, the so-called [Phantom Thief]."

"If they were the same age, it would be fine, but since they are already adults and are still dressed like this, I have to doubt their motives."

"So after I received the call from that customer, I took half a day off to observe the man with the eyepatch. Originally, it was supposed to be like this..."

Tohka first briefly explained the reason why she came here, and tried to get some other information from Yuta and the others.

"So, have you seen Touka-san too? That giant witch?"

[Mr. Mori] Hearing that someone else had seen the same monster, and that they were adults, he felt relieved but also a little confused.

The preview clearly states that there is no need to worry about the apocalyptic crisis, but it seems like monsters are still going to appear. Could it be that they have found an official organization?

"Although it's certainly quite large, it's not huge. And it looks like it's not the witch you mentioned, but a snowman."

"Is it a snowman with a carrot nose, big hands made of branches, and a huge mouth?"

Fennel asked, thinking about what she imagined a snowman should look like.

But Touka just shook her head, then looked at the stairwell, looked at the ground outside and said:

"I met the man wearing the eyepatch before. I hid under the bridge, intending to follow him after he passed by, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I was at this place."

"Not long after the eyepatch man went down, I saw the snowman floating in the air from the same place, moving towards us with a clear purpose."

"The monster's pace was much faster than mine, so I didn't chase it. Instead, I waited for a while and made sure nothing else appeared before I dared to walk under the bridge."

"As expected of the Administration's [Saint Coordinator], you're charging straight into the [Phantom Thief's] lair all by yourself. I'm sure that [Phantom Thief] wouldn't be a match for you."

Seeing that Lord Mori recognized Touka, Toumori also echoed the praise.

"Unfortunately, I didn't see the eyepatch man who went down earlier, but I did see a lot of strange monsters. These monsters are very fast and strong, and they will actively attack people."

"A monster that harms people? Looks like it's time for me, the [Magical Demon Girl], to make my appearance."

Qi Gong was a little excited when he heard this and planned to go to the scene to take a look.

"Wait a minute, Nanamiya. Let's listen to what Sister Touka has to say first. Didn't they say that the man called "Phantom Thief" might be in my house? If you haven't seen him, how do you know this?"

Yuta quickly stopped his teammates' actions, then looked at Tohka in confusion.

If other people of his age said this, Yuta might have translated it as a middle school saying, but since Touka said it, Yuta had to consider the authenticity of the content. After all, Touka would not join in playing a prank on him.

"They were all monsters after all, so I could only escape the same way I came. Those monsters were clearly chasing me, but when I reached the entrance, they didn't come up again."

"After I came out and didn't know how to get back to where I was, the man with the eyepatch suddenly appeared in front of me."

"Although it was only for a moment, and then it turned into a dark human silhouette, but it was the only living person after all, so I carefully followed him here, and then I met you."

After Touka finished explaining her side of the situation, she looked towards Yuta.

Yuta also told the situation on his side, and then asked Lord Mori to take out the notice letter.

When Touka read the contents of the notice letter, Yuta finally had time to raise his doubts.

"Um, Sister Shihua, what do you mean by the only living person? Does that mean that everyone out there is a monster like the one you mentioned?"

"That's not the case. On the contrary, there's no one on the street outside, including the snowman I saw earlier."

At this point, Shihua couldn't help but frown and said emphatically:

"It seems that only that person can release the monsters below, and he is most likely the [Phantom Thief] that Rikka encountered."

Fennel also agreed with Touka's guess and said:

"That person is Mr. Yasin. Although he didn't have an eye patch when he came to see me not long ago, he was indeed very dark."

Then [Mr. Mori] also stood up and said that the [Phantom Thief] he met did have an eyepatch, but he took it off by himself shortly after shaking hands, and he had only seen him for a short time outside.

"Yuta, what should I do..."

The appearance of personal testimony, especially the testimony of her sister, made Rikka understand the [Phantom Thief] whom she had only met once. She realized that she seemed to have provoked a person with real super powers, and she couldn't help but ask Yuta for help.

"Even if you ask me... Nanamiya, have you seen that [Phantom Thief]?"

"Although my Demon King influence covers a wide area, this is the first time I've heard of the name [Phantom Thief] today."

Nanamiya said without hesitation, and this answer made Yuta a little unsure.

"Have you thought of anything? If you have anything to say, please tell us and let's think about it together."

Seeing that Yuta's question might have a purpose, [Mr. Mori] immediately asked.

"That [Phantom Thief] wanted to steal our so-called secret treasure, so he asked Rikka to find everyone, right?"

"If that's really the case, then the Phantom Thieves should all be aware of our situation, which is why they arranged the order of theft. If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to our persistence in this matter, right?"

"But if that's the case, why would Nanamiya be ranked after Rikka even though she doesn't know the Phantom Thief?"

Mori-sama also began to put himself into the situation, and said thoughtfully:

"Could it be because of combat ability?"

"fighting?"

"You see, your [Black Flame User] is a sealed power, so it's best to steal it. I don't want to be [Mr. Mori] anymore, and since I'm a spirit user, it will probably be difficult to deal with the other party's theft."

"After that, there's the Thunder Hammer User, who relies purely on physical attacks, followed by the Evil King's True Eyes and the Magic Demon Girl."

"No, the [Evil King's True Eye] is the strongest, so if we compare combat power, it must be the last to strike!"

Hearing such an evaluation, Rikka couldn't help but refute, but the way she was pinching the corner of Yuta's clothes at the moment didn't look like she had a high fighting ability.

"Indeed, if it were me, I would definitely prioritize the most threatening one. However, since the [Brave] is already level eight, it's natural for him to be targeted first. The same goes for [Mori-sama]. But why is the [Thunder Hammer User] ranked third? Is it because there are so many different types of magic?"

"Hehe, don't look at me as just a Thunder Hammer User. I have received the true teachings of Lord Mori. When necessary, I can also assist Lord Mori."

Touma said this complacently, but Nanamiya was not to be outdone and emphasized that he was also a comrade-in-arms of "Lord Mori", and that his understanding of magic must be no less than Touma's.

Just as the two were about to announce their magic names in a fancy way, a male voice interrupted their discussion.

"That's enough. That's just the order based on your level of giving up. Because once I take the secret treasure, you will never be able to return to your original identity. It's that simple."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the direction where the voice came from, which was Yuta's house.

Following the sound of the door opening, Zhi Xing still couldn't think of a way to pick Shihua alone, so he chose to have a direct conversation.

But before that, I added a layer of protection for myself.

Therefore, when the door opened, what everyone saw was not Zhixing's face with an eye patch, but a spiral mask with a single eye opening on the left side.

Moreover, this mask seems to have a distorted feeling, just like an old black and white TV, with mosaics flashing from time to time like a flowery screen.

Zhixing also saw from the [camera] that he used cognitive existence to create a mask to offset the effect of assimilation into the cognitive world.

If the disappearance of cognitive existence was not a complete disappearance, rather than a complete disappearance from head to toe, I would have suspected that Warcraft would be like this after the end of the TV series "Magic Circle".

While Zhi Xing was thinking, he didn't stop, but walked up step by step. Then, at the opening in the middle of the stairs, he turned around and looked at the people who were blocking the stairs:

"Come downstairs and follow me."

After saying that, he jumped down from the 2.5th floor and landed steadily on the ground where the falling damage was not too high.

The few of them looked at each other and finally walked downstairs. Yuta grabbed Rika, who wanted to try jumping down together, and followed her downstairs.

The two soon noticed the people who had stopped in front of them, and immediately stood in an empty space on the side. They saw the [Phantom Thief] who was stagnant in front of them, and the floating weapons around the [Phantom Thief].

"These are not secret treasures, but weapons you have used."

Zhixing looked at the cognitive weapons beside him that he had imagined and compared with the original anime and what he saw with the [camera], such as the Queen of the Night of [Evil King's True Eyes], the bandages of [Black Flame User], the heavy hammer sparks of [Thunder Hammer User], the double shields of [Mr. Mori] and the blank space of [Magic Demon Girl].

Although they were all floating like projections, Zhixing could still understand from their expressions that the shapes of these weapons did indeed match their respective imaginations.

"Although you weren't the ones who found me, since the plan has changed, I have no choice but to be more radical."

"Take your weapons, and I will show you what this world really looks like."
