Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

But the scene in front of Zhixing made his heart suddenly jump, and at the same time, that familiar feeling surged in his heart again.

(I can go back now)

"Are you okay? Can you stand up?"

"No question... [Evil King...True Eye] is the strongest..."

Fennel stood in front of Rikka's body lying on the ground. Seeing Rikka tremblingly raising her thumbs to support her setting, she couldn't help but relax.

"Master, hurry up, this is the medicine used for treatment in this world!"

[Thunder Hammer] trotted over with the capsule medicine he received from Nanamiya, squatted down carefully, and handed the medicine to Liuhua, whose face became even worse when he saw her taking the medicine.

"Rikka, I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive, so..."

"No, Yuta didn't do anything wrong. You don't have to apologize to me. I was the same. When I saw you were about to be attacked, my body took action on its own."

After saying this, Liuhua suddenly turned her head with a blush, then swallowed the capsule into her mouth. She immediately felt the medicine melting in her mouth and turned into physical strength in an instant, sweeping away the weakness just now.

"Ah~ I'm so glad everyone's okay. My apologies, this is my unshirkable responsibility as the [Magic Demon Girl]. To be ambushed by a demon of that caliber, it seems my training isn't enough."

At this time, Nanamiya also came over with the support of Lord Mori, looking embarrassed.

There was nothing she could do. It was because she was the first one to be knocked out as a guard that this situation came about.

"Fortunately, that monster seemed to be able to see the difference between our strengths and weaknesses, so it chose to attack you. Moreover, you were able to withstand such an attack, which gave us time to react."

Touka also followed Nanamiya and comforted her.

"Senior Anise-sensei, do you recognize that monster that just suddenly appeared?"

As someone who also topped the grade, [Mr. Mori] had gotten to know everyone's personality well during the past month or so, even though they had only a short time together.

Although he originally called Hui Xiang "senior", he did not take this senior who was always taking a nap seriously. He regarded her as just an ordinary classmate.

But the current situation forced [Mr. Mori] to look at this senior sister who, at first impression, was a natural intimidator in a different light.

"I don't know about that sort of thing~ But, it's just like any other monster, right?"

Fennel said bluntly.

"No, no, no, that guy looks different now. He looks very powerful no matter how you look at him. If not the final boss, he's at least an elite monster. He's completely different from the monsters we encountered here! But even that guy, Fennel-senpai, took care of him in one go!! That's amazing!"

"Is that right?"

Listening to the praise from [Mori-sama], Fennel accepted the compliment without understanding what was said.

"What happened here? Why are you here?"

Zhixing put on a hood and forcibly closed it with one hand, appearing in front of everyone in a concealed image.

However, Zhixing's gaze did not look at the [Evil King's True Eye] and [Magic Demon Girl] who had just been knocked to the ground, but instead let his right eye, which was wearing an eyepatch, look in the direction of Fennel.

"Why would you bring them all into your palace? Fennel!"

Chapter 422 The Role of Consensus

"Oh~ Is this called the Palace? Can't people come in here?"

Fennel asked back without any defensive intention.

Seeing this reaction, Zhixing couldn't help but sigh, then turned his head away and stopped [reading minds].

"Two people have already gained the power of the Persona. Honestly, if you reveal your Temple, you... might actually face death."

"What does death mean? Is this place so bad?"

Nibutani saw Zhixing turned around as if he had confirmed something. He couldn't help but ask a question while looking around, but couldn't find anything unusual.

Because this place is a very familiar scene for the protagonists.

So no matter how much Nibutani observed, he could only see that this was the school gate of the private Ginkgo Academy, a school gate that everyone except Nanamiya would pass by, including Touma who was only in junior high school.

"The temple is a place where people can be killed, and ordinary people outside cannot find evidence. Precisely because this place is so important, I need to suppress my desires and just act as a [Phantom Thief] to steal secret treasures."

Zhixing was also observing the situation at the entrance of the hall through the [camera], and at the same time, he felt a little troubled about Fennel's situation.

After seeing through the [camera] that they seemed to have experienced some unexpected situation, which resulted in two combat-capable [Phantom Thieves] being injured, Zhixing wanted to rush over.

However, Zhi Xing was unable to teleport into the protagonist group who were in the impression space, and he didn't even know whether the fairy had found the protagonist group and others.

So Zhixing chose the corresponding feeling and went back, then [traveled] to Rika's side.

However, this journey not only brought them to the location of the protagonists in the impression space, but more importantly, they could actually come directly to the hall that was originally invisible to the [camera].

Zhixing only took a look at the door of the hall and concluded that the owner of the hall was Anise. After all, it was impossible for Rikka and Nanamiya, who became [Phantom Thieves], to form a hall again, and the other three people, even if they owned a hall, should not be in this high school.

One is a junior high school student, and the other two chose this high school specifically to abandon their past identities. No matter how they think about it, they will never turn this place into a palace.

"Indeed, that monster is incredibly powerful. If I'm not careful, I might be defeated before I even see the angel. However, I'm the [Magic Demon Girl], and I will repay you a thousandfold for this defeat!"

Qigong was somewhat unwilling to accept his failure, but at the same time, he was also a little scared.

After all, he has personally experienced the strength of the opponent's attack. If Yuta and others are attacked, it is possible that someone will die.

"So, I was just gone for a while, what happened?"

Hearing this, Zhixing couldn't help but ask again.

"It's a humanoid monster with guns in its hands. Dual guns. If it weren't for its massive size and the fact that the gas it emits disappears, we might have mistaken it for someone else with the same power."

Yuta recalled the scene at that time, and it felt vivid. Even when he thought about it now, he felt a sense of danger.

"That monster moved too fast. We didn't even try to provoke it, yet it suddenly attacked us. We were still trying to figure out how to gain power from it!"

Tu Shou was a little unconvinced, thinking that if it hadn't been attacked by a monster that appeared out of nowhere, [Evil King's True Eye] would not have been injured while protecting people.

"A powerful monster that suddenly appeared?"

Zhixing frowned, because Zhixing had no ability to fight. Apart from the instant kill formed by different spaces, he could not tell the strength of the shadows at all. Therefore, he did not know how strong the monsters they encountered were just by listening to the description. But from the situation at the scene, [Evil King's True Eyes] and [Magic Demon Girl] had disappeared, leaving only Rika and Nanamiya.

Zhixing could only confirm that the health of the mask shadows of these two people had been cleared.

Logically speaking, the only ones capable of causing such great damage are the shadows with distorted space in the [Phantom Thieves] side quest.

"I won't lose either. For Yuta, everyone, I'll defeat that monster!!"

Rika emphasized this unwillingly, but Zhixing could see that even though she had taken the medicine to restore her strength, Rika's body was still trembling.

Is this a battle where the tide is turning? While knowing Rikka is more sensitive to pain, under Juuka's control, doesn't she still summon the courage to resist again and again? Is it because it's not the genuine [Evil King's True Eye] that she's not as persistent this time?

Having missed the actual combat performance of [Evil King's True Eye] repeatedly, Zhixing was very concerned. But before he could think of what to say, he heard a voice coming from inside the school:

"It may be impossible to defeat it in the short term."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl in school uniform with a white headscarf on her head and special jewelry on her hands landing lightly on the ground.

"[Lord Mori]?!!"

Before Toumori could finish his shock, he heard another male voice say:

"That hunter only hunts lonely ghosts that have been wandering around for a long time. If Senior Fennel hadn't taken action first, it wouldn't have survived the next moment."

A young man wearing custom-made clothes, with his right hand wrapped in bandages and a large sword on his back, walked over with one hand holding the hilt.

"[Hero]? Could it be that the person next to me now is an imposter?!"

Nanamiya was a little wary when he saw the two Yuta appear, but he didn't dare to act rashly, not knowing which one was fake.

"Although the power of the [Black Flame] user is useless, he's not an enemy, so there's no need to be wary."

The [Thunder Hammer] who was walking over from a distance was holding the weapon that Zhixing had shown him before and explained to Qigong.

"Hmph, if I remove the seal, the hunter will be nothing more than bait for the Dark Flame Dragon."

[Black Flame] was somewhat dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. After all, among the people present, only he and [Evil King's True Eye] were of the type that could seal power.

"Well, this is your life at stake, so it's better to be safe when it comes to taking risks like this!"

Another Fennel was standing next to [Thunder Hammer] and gave them a suggestion.

"Ah, did I fall asleep again? I'm still on an adventure."

Fennel, who was standing near Rikka, was also a little confused, but Zhixing had already confirmed their situation and could not help but become even more surprised.

When hearing about the hunter, Zhixing remembered that he had encountered it once before in "P5". It seems that this is an event that the Phantom Thieves may encounter if they stay in the impression space for a long time. It can be said that it can be encountered in every level. There seems to be no division of strength. No matter how many levels there are, they are all the same level.

But compared to this problem, Zhihang was more surprised by their appearance.

This is Fennel's palace, how could there be other palace masters?

But Zhixing had seen the fight between [Lord Mori] and [Thunder Hammer] before, and he was sure that the two were the same shadow.

Therefore, when others were still confused about the specific situation, Zhi Xing asked:

"Are you showing up here to awaken your personality mask? Or are you exposing your dark past in the hope of gaining recognition?"

Lord Mori was the first to shake his head and said:

"Although your proposal is tempting, I have already sent all the elves away. The only reason I am still here is that I am a little worried about the Thunder Hammer."

"The master... the master is no longer here. If I am not here either, then no one can help [Mrs. Mori]."

[Thunder Hammer] seemed a little embarrassed to look at Touma, and turned his gaze to an empty corner and said.

"We are here because we have no other reason to be here."

[Black Flame] Unscrupulous way of sabotaging.

"why?"

"We originally thought we could have our own palace, but when we arrived here, we discovered that this place was already covered by Senior Fennel's palace. We can only use our power normally under the protection of this palace."

"Can the palace still be intercepted?"

Zhixing frowned at first, then suddenly remembered that he had trapped Kamoshida Dendou, and then he relaxed his brows.

"I see. No wonder Fennel's dream covers such a vast area, even including the [Invisible Boundary]. Is it composed of multiple palaces?"

I feel that if it weren't for the even more amazing "Charlotte" on the next-door set, in which one person swallowed up the superpowers of everyone abroad, then in the case that other special people only have one superpower, this dream might be able to replace the "One-Eyed Death God" and become the secret treasure of the impression space.

Anyway, Monokuma also did something like this to steal the show.

"But, it's a little strange. How long ago did you show up? Wasn't it the second year of junior high school? At that time, Fennel was still abroad and hadn't returned yet."

Zhixing still remembered that the [One-Eyed Grim Reaper] had been plundered back to the country for more than a year, and Fennel was only one grade higher than the protagonists, and had only returned to campus in high school.

So when he was in junior high school, he should have been suffering from the second syndrome for a while. Even Nanamiya fell in love at one point, and then he transferred to another school and met Nibutani. During this period, Yuta was seen by Rikka alone, and then he developed his own second syndrome.

If we look at the situation in "Charlotte", this kind of superpower can't be maintained for too long, so they deliberately built a school to protect everyone and wait for the power to disappear. This plan then allowed the heroine to find the hero.

"It was precisely because Senior Fennel hadn't returned that we, unable to gain recognition from others, were trapped in our own space. It was her arrival that allowed us to formally spar and become masters of the Hall."

The words of [Black Flame] made Zhi Xing suddenly think of the prerequisites for the temple.

That is to impose your ever-expanding desires on others.

Among the main characters, only [Mr. Mori] took the initiative to create his own account and publicize it. The others all did their own things, and at most they teamed up in pairs.

And this kind of relationship chain between two people is at most the bond of Tarot cards.

If you want to become a palace, you may have to jump ten boats...

No, don’t tell me!

The paper company's [camera] looked at Nibutani who was biting his lip, and thought of something he had not noticed before.

This is the [cognitive world], a world constructed by the cognition of everyone.

Relying on one's own desires, at most, with a real source of desire, one can barely create a distorted space to resist the assimilation of external cognition.

But besides individual desires which can prevent assimilation, there is another force which can perpetuate the effects of assimilation.

Shadow monsters are formed by the common cognition of some people, most of which are creatures in myths and legends.

However, although [Mr. Mori] has met the conditions of gathering a lot of people, he is not as good as [Magical Demon Girl] and [Evil King's True Eyes], which are only known by a few people.

Could it be because of the inconsistency in cognition?

In real life, there are far more classmates who know Mori-sensei than those who know him online. Is it because the cognition of these two groups of people conflicts that we are unable to form a hall?

The consistent image of the [Magic Demon Girl], on the contrary, allows those who know her to have a common understanding. And this understanding, which could originally produce shadow monsters, after entering the distorted space... has formed a palace that spreads to the size of an entire city?

Zhixing was reminded of the two-faced Kamoshida, the artist, and Shido Masayoshi in "p5".

A seemingly upright person, but his victims all have the same fear of him, about the ratio of one school to two teams of athletes.

One who seems to have a great reputation, but the people who buy his paintings and his many disciples are all aware of his character. The ratio of his number to Sayuri fans is probably the same.
