Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Chapter 414 Credibility and Confidence

Upon hearing this, Rika and Touma took a step forward with some excitement, but Touka, who was standing in front of them, had already taken out her usual soup spoon and reached out to stop them.

"It would be better to explain things clearly first. Who are you and why are you targeting Rikka?"

"This child's [Evil King's True Eyes] is just a self-proclaimed title. You should be able to tell the difference."

Zhixing couldn't help but frown when he saw that Rikka had been stopped by Touka, and the others showed no signs of moving forward.

In general boys' comics, the protagonists, who are students, are either parentless or left alone on business trips, because only in this way can the protagonists better exert their subjective initiative and do things according to their own ideas.

But when something happens, these parent-type people will stop it and will not easily let their children take risks, unless they see Xiaoyuan's serious and determined attitude like Xiaoyuan's mother, and then they will agree.

The paper bank's [camera] adjusted its angle and looked at the [Phantom Thief] who was still on Yuta's balcony. He nodded slightly, then extended his hand and said with a somewhat helpless tone:

"If you want one, it's not impossible to give you one, but it would be a bit wasteful."

After saying that, Zhixing waved his hand, and the next moment, an equally gigantic soup spoon that looked obviously technological appeared in front of Shihua.

"To be honest, the power of the [Saint Conditioner], while somewhat capable of reflecting magic, might be somewhat useful against humanoids like you, unfortunately, the monsters you're about to face are not of that type."

Shihua frowned as she looked at the weapon in front of her that blocked her view, and she walked to the side before she saw the paper again.

"Am I included in this? But I think Rikka is the only one who would call me that. Who are you?"

Seeing that Tohka was still confused about her identity, Zhixing couldn't help but move his gaze and saw the excited [Evil King's True Eyes], [Mr. Mori] who was calmly observing the current situation, the [Thunder Hammer User] who stretched out his hand but didn't dare to cross the line until others took action, and the [Black Flame User] who was originally very excited to see these weapons but his enthusiasm cooled after seeing that his exclusive one was a bandage.

Finally, Fennel, who was curiously looking at everything in front of her and seemed to be indifferent to the matter, finally fell on the [Magic Demon Girl] who was waiting for the declaration of war.

"I've heard everything you said before, and I understand your vigilance, but don't worry. If they are truly harmed, they have no means of resistance. Even the rules of society cannot protect them."

"After all...I am from another world."

"Another world!" Rika's eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to move forward due to the threat of Touka's soup spoon that was so close to her.

Zhi Xing turned around, letting the mask in front of him dissipate, reducing the emotional consumption of maintaining his cognitive existence, and then continued:

"This is a world of cognition, a world composed of everyone's cognition."

"In this world, everything from angels embodying faith to individual desires can be realized."

"So, even if all you possess is Chuunibyou, you can manifest it. That's why I'm looking for you."

In the [camera], Yuta's expression seemed to have changed, which made Zhixing confirm his psychological suggestion and continued:

"I've already spoken to Lord Mori about the world-destroying crisis. It's only a crisis because I brought it into this world."

"But unfortunately, my [Phantom Thief] power is ineffective against creatures that cannot communicate, so I cannot destroy it. Only when it grows to a certain size can I trade it for its secret treasure."

Mori-sama, the party involved, had experienced a failed transaction before, so he agreed with the paper company's words, but then asked:

"It's true that you seemed to be communicating with another me in this world and took the so-called secret treasure away through a transaction, but why did you suddenly decide to steal our secret treasure? How was the world-destroying crisis resolved?"

"Since you are no longer needed to fight, I plan to take away your secret treasures to prevent any accidents from happening to you."

The paper walker walked to the blank area where the weapons of [Magical Demon Girl] were displayed, and as soon as he reached out and touched it, the flashing mosaics and the blank space inside the display area disappeared.

"Once you lose the secret treasure, you will no longer have this kind of [Chuunibyou], and naturally I won't be able to find you anymore."

"Isn't this what you were hoping for? [Saint Counselor] [Mr. Mori] [Dark Flame Envoy]."

Mori-sama muttered something like, "Didn't we fail last time?" The sensitive Thunder Hammer User heard this and immediately declared a battle:

"Really? You're the culprit who caused Lord Mori to disappear. Come back quickly and return Lord Mori's secret treasure!"

Zhi Xing's body remained motionless, but the [Camera] looked at Tu Shou and further explained:

"After the secret treasure disappears, it does not affect the other party's memory, but only the motivation disappears."

"Motive? Isn't it to take away all the memories of the past?"

The [Dark Flame Envoy], unwilling to face his dark history, joined the discussion.

"I just remember that I did it, but I don't remember why I did it. The behavior that follows is like hearing about other people's things, and I won't have much reaction."

The paper is about to intervene and make the shadow change its mind, but the reality does not know the reason. It tells the story in order to cover up the terrible consequences that once the shadow changes his mind, he will have to constantly apologize, repent and redeem himself for his dark history, trying to prevent them from setting their sights on themselves.

"I'm Joker, the leader of the Phantom Thieves. Unlike real people who develop personal desires at this age due to Chuunibyou, stealing treasures is my instinct and how I maintain my power."

"The same is true for the world-destroying crisis. Therefore, we only need to take away their secret treasures to resolve this crisis."

After saying that, Zhi Xing asked the [Phantom Thief] to make the mask again, then turned sideways to look in the direction of Fennel.

"The person introduced by Fennel has already given me a solution to this world-destroying crisis. So I don't need your strength. Naturally, I intend to help you get rid of the influence of [Chuunibyou]."

"Fennel-senpai? Is there anyone else you know?"

[The Evil King's True Eyes] looked at Fennel, wanting to learn about a new companion from the senior.

"It's the senior who helped me find the cat, but he's not from our school. He just asked me to pass on a message. I don't know him."

Fennel gave an affirmative answer, but she had heard the name "One-Eyed Death God" in a foreign country, so she was sure that Rikka and others would not recognize it, so she did not say this name on her own initiative.

"If you've already made up your mind to become our enemy, then why are you asking us to take up arms? Do you mean to fight us head-on, with the loser leaving behind his secret treasure?"

The [Magic Demon Girl], who did not display her own weapons and was even ranked last, was very confused. After all, based on the information currently obtained, the [Phantom Thief] had no reason to let everyone pick up weapons.

In response, Zhixing explained:

"We do have a solution to this crisis, but I can't rely on just one method. So, to be on the safe side, I need to find a Phantom Thief among you who can remove the weapon and regain combat capability in this world. As a backup, I can completely eliminate this crisis. This is also my responsibility as the leader of the Phantom Thieves."

"[Magical Demon Girl], if it were you, if you were the one who once put down your weapon but took it up again, you should... no, you could definitely become a member of the [Phantom Thieves]."

Zhi Xing slowly walked in front of the [Magic Demon Girl], ignoring Juuka who was blocking her way, and spoke while extending her hand:

"Become a member of the Phantom Thief. You don't need to give up yourself. You are still the Magic Demon Girl. You just use the power of the Phantom Thief to take away the monster's secret treasure and eliminate the danger without endangering the other party's life."

"If it's you, you can definitely do it, or are you planning to just watch someone die without helping?"

"Besides the threat of world destruction, this world is still plagued by crises and monsters of all sizes. Even the angel you long for exists in a space below."

Zhixing looked at the girl in front of him who was thinking, but he didn't feel as relaxed as he appeared.

Although Zhixing thought about it for a while on the spot, it was not as perfect as a wise man after the event. He just borrowed the method of lucid dream training and wanted to use the false thing of cognitive existence to make these protagonists with second-year syndrome believe in their own abilities, and then induce them to awaken the power of their personality masks.

After all, it is too difficult to make them resist. It is better to change the thinking and let them believe that they do have the power, and then rely on the desire to believe to awaken them.

Zhixing had tried to make himself fall into a rebellious mood in "P5" but failed, so it was inevitable that he would try other methods.

The public's belief is also the key force that enables the Phantom Thieves to defeat the false gods in the later period.

Since the cognition generated by everyone's trust helps to increase the power of the personality mask, then wouldn't it be easier to awaken if the power is increased?

It was with this idea in mind that Zhi Xing used the absurdity accumulated from his experience on the set of "Charlotte" to create his own cognitive existence, and let it create other props of cognitive existence, so that these things could be maintained in the cognitive world.

However, the emotions of the paper line cannot be quantified after all, so it is not clear how long the cognitive existence can last without being assimilated and disappeared. Therefore, we can only emphasize the possibility of psychological suggestion, and try to get the "Magical Demon Girl" who is currently the most seriously ill with "Chuunibyou" to sign a contract for the transaction.

But it is hard to say whether this method is useful or not. However, there is still a solution, such as entering the fennel hall next to it to let the shadows of the protagonists appear, or pretending that it is the source of the power of the [Phantom Thief].

However, Zhixing really didn't see Nanamiya's shadow. Unlike other people, Nanamiya in the [camera] didn't have any obvious shadow features beside her, and even her weapon was the magic wand she carried with her, which was exactly the same as in reality.

If Zhixing wants to give psychological hints, he doesn’t know what weapons to use.

But it doesn’t matter whether there are weapons or not, as long as the emotion of self-confidence can awaken people, the paper industry can accept it.

"Ehahahaha~ Since the [Phantom Thief] isn't a complete enemy, then let me, [Magical Demon Girl] Sophialine SP Satan VII, lend you a hand!"

[Magic Demon Girl] did not keep Zhixing waiting for long, but made her own choice decisively, and held the hand that Zhixing extended with the hand that was not holding her magic wand.

The next moment, Zhi Xing saw [Magic Demon Girl] startled for a moment as if she had sensed something, then closed her eyes, assumed a transformation pose, and began to chant:

"Demon King certification... Magical power released... Cherubim chanting... Seraph descending..."

A human-shaped shadow wearing an exaggerated demon king costume appeared from behind Qigong. Then he stretched out his arms and spread the wings behind him, revealing six wings with white feathers on one side and black feathers on the other.

"Everything in the world is at my disposal!"

The decorative heart sticker on Nanamiya's face glowed pink, and then quickly spread as if the hidden mask had been ignited, revealing a charred mask burning with black flames on Nanamiya's face.

Then, Nanamiya almost instinctively put his hands on the mask, and with great force, he tore off the extra mask and skin on his face.

"Magical Demon Girl, make your grand entrance!!"

A flash of fire passed by, restoring the bloodstains on Nanamiya's face to their original state.

There are examples of a two-person-high personality mask emerging from behind Nanamiya, and when the mask appears on Nanamiya's face, the clothes on her body also change into a magical girl costume.

At this moment, no one present questioned Zhixing's idea anymore. The only feeling in their hearts was the shock of having their worldview refreshed.

Even Zhi Xing, after witnessing the successful awakening of Qi Gong, suppressed his excitement and clenched his fists.

Sure enough, as long as you are confident, you can do it. In the cognitive world, as long as one of the desires reaches a certain level, I can definitely do it. Be confident, and it will work.

Chapter 415 The Secret Treasure of Chunibyo

For the paper industry, self-confidence is something that is neither difficult nor easy.

It’s difficult to say, as a person with scientific thinking and the habit of thinking.

Doubting your own thoughts is an instinctive reaction.

After all, science is about doubting everything, and if you want to think further, you need to doubt previous conclusions.

This is what happens when someone raises an opinion and their first reaction is to come up with a unique counter-argument.

It just seems that such behavior will increase the things to think about, but most of them are useless thoughts.

Ultimately, actual experiments are needed to verify the hypothesis.

Make bold assumptions and verify carefully.

In addition to requiring doubt about conclusions, scientific thinking also requires believing in results that can be repeatedly verified.

In this regard, Zhixing feels that its current ability to take action has already met this standard.

Although there are many possibilities that can be thought of, once one is chosen for the experiment, one will act without hesitation according to the purpose of the experiment. However, because there will be many situations that need to be performed on the spot, unexpected deviations are likely to occur.

Zhixing looked at Nanamiya who had already reacted from the awakened state of the personality mask in front of him, and also used the [camera] position to circle around the other party. After confirming that the center point was still where he was, he looked at the balcony of Yuta's room, where the [Phantom Thief] had begun to appear mosaic.

"Is this the true form of [Magical Demon Girl]?!"

Because there were no enemies, after Qigong summoned the mask, he looked at the shadow of the mask behind him excitedly.

"Oh~ Can I touch it?"

"Yeah! Of course!"

"Oh oh oh~~"

The mask awakened behind Touka, so there was no one else who could stop the protagonists from approaching. [Evil King's True Eyes] and [Thunder Hammer] couldn't help but make physical contact with the mask's shadow and let out a cry of surprise.

Even the [Black Flame], which had the strongest cutting power after graduating from the Chunibyo, moved from the shadow of the mask to his arm without blinking.

Although he knew that everything in the past was just his delusion, at this moment, he couldn't help but doubt his memory.

But before [Jet-Black Flame] could doubt for long, when he opened his eyes, he saw [Lord Mori] with his hands clasped together instinctively. He suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the paper bank, causing [Jet-Black Flame] to look over there as well.

Weapons! Weapons!

The two people who were planning to graduate with their second-year syndrome started running at the same time, and then rushed directly towards the weapons that were still displayed in the air.

This time, Touka did not try to stop him. Instead, she looked at the shadow behind Nanamiya and frowned at Zhi Xingdao:

"Is this your superpower? Or is it the ability of your companions?"

"Bang~"

Touka looked towards the source of the sound and saw two people falling behind their weapons. She seemed to understand a little and said:

"Could it be an illusion? But those monsters..."

Touka didn't finish her words, because Zhixing had already turned around and saw that [Mori-sama] and [Black Flame] accelerated too fast and didn't hit the entity, causing them to fall. He sighed and said:

"Superpowers? I'm already this old, it would be nice if I really had one, even if it's incomplete."

If I originally thought that the camera was useless, I felt like I had become a voyeur.

But after clarifying the [Three Wishes] and being able to combine the [Camera] to trigger the conditions of [Return at Any Time], it suddenly became a life-saving trump card that surpassed [Witch's Barrier], [Cognitive World], and even [Reset].

But this is just a way out.

It has neither attack power nor influence, and cannot play much of a supporting role in Zhixing's desire to change his destiny.

You can't just use a [camera] to see the protagonists from afar, then when you find that the unchangeable power of fate is taking effect, choose to go back and pretend it didn't happen, right? And when the repair happens, it's right in front of you, so it doesn't matter whether there is a [camera] or not.

The only way to use it is to find the conditions for returning in advance in the highly dangerous world, and then step into the dangerous place with confidence, relying on the spatial distance of the [Witch's Barrier] or the [Cognitive World] to delay time, and then return and cross again to explore opportunities again.

However, the [Camera] was obtained before meeting Charlotte, so asking for it was impossible. Therefore, Zhixing put the idea aside for the time being and turned back to look at the three women who were still studying the details of the mask shadows and said:
