Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

Zhixing was surprised. After all, when he knew that Xiaoxiong had no memory of being a human, Zhixing did not tell the witch about magical girls in the [Witch's Barrier]. But the shadow can indeed remember the memories that the main body has forgotten. It seems that it is not impossible to have a conflict with the witch and thus separate the witch's cognitive existence.

"No! I suspect my memory must have been taken away by Kyubey. It's always like this, taking what it wants without asking for others' consent."

The little bear raised one hand, clenched his fist at a 90-degree angle to the ground, and shouted his dislike for Kyubey.

Zhixing couldn't say anything about this, after all, he didn't know whether Kyubey really kept the other things.

After all, the only known witch who can retain human memories after becoming a witch is the witch played by Homura Akemi in the official fan game, a witch from the other side who is immersed in the memories of being unable to save the important people.

"Maybe, I didn't take your memory away."

"Why are you speaking for it?"

"It's not about helping it, but... since it needs to keep the witch, then you must still be yourself."

Although Zhixing didn't know what Kyubey had done, he still remembered two prerequisites in his mind, both of which could ensure the integrity of the little bear.

One is the situation of [Three Wishes].

After confirming that this [wish] indeed constitutes the story development that Zhixing is familiar with, Zhixing also believes that the wisher in Madoka Magica must have made a wish that everyone can make a wish, or a wish that a dream comes true, when making a racial wish.

However, after a long period of historical changes and being constrained by various wishes, only young girls are able to make wishes.

Judging from the all-around performance of "Three Wishes" in "Dangan", perhaps it is because the number of wish-makers at the level of the entire nation will dilute the results of the wishes, so there are situations where there are only a single-digit number of girls making wishes in cities with hundreds of thousands of migrant populations.

Maybe it is just to accumulate what Kyubey has recognized, called cause and effect, into a carrier, and then realize the miracle that is not free through the black technology of making a wish.

In this way, it will not be a waste of the output of other people who should also have huge karma.

And since the [Three Wishes] don't have that much power, they naturally won't be easily taken apart.

Just like in "Dangan", Kirikiri Kyoko, who possesses the talent of a detective, even though she was brainwashed by the mastermind and completely lost her memory, and even forgot that she grew up in a detective family, the talent she should have will still be revealed in her, Kirikiri Kyoko.

So if the [Detective] talent is directed at her, then as a qualified magical girl in "Madoka Magica", theoretically she will not be split into two parts by Kyubey.

Otherwise, what if the wish fails?

Zhixing doesn't think that the third wish in "Madoka Magica" will be the same as in "Dangan", which can transfer the talent of making wishes to other people.

Zhixing looked away and suddenly became a little unconfident.

Because in the world view of "Magic Circle", it seems that memory can indeed be separated from power and remain unaffected.

In the movie version of "Rebellion" alone, there are two cases of separation, and two cases where memories were separated and then recovered on their own.

But also in the world view of "Magic Circle", the situation of self-reference is very useful.

The reason why Madoka can become a ring is because of the effect of self-reference. It adds itself to the wish, which leads to a paradox and eliminates its own existence.

So the little bear who becomes a magical girl and finally becomes a witch must be herself, without any difference.

Regardless of whether it was Kyubey or the girl who made the wish, judging from Kyubey's control over the black technology of wishing, Zhixing still felt that Kyubey had formulated a wish to become a magical girl, thereby guiding the disaster of the corrected wish to still point to the girl, thus entering the [Witch's Barrier].

After all, the upper limit of "Three Wishes" doesn't seem very high. In "Chuunibyou," it's just superpowers that disappear with age, while in "Dangan," it's just a dozen or so seriously talented people with a wide range of specialties, supplied by the entire world's population.

It seems that the witch in the movie also pointed out the situation of herself and asked Madoka Kaname to come, so Madoka came with her own memories.

Zhi Xing felt that as he was thinking, he seemed to have touched the hint of the third wish of "Magic Circle", and then he heard the little bear say:

"Am I really still myself?"

"Without my own memories, and only able to understand the situation through the memories of others, am I really still myself?"

Zhixing was silent for a moment, because he also lacked a part of his memory, and that was the most important memory, the memory of the [Three Wishes]. The lack of this memory directly led to Zhixing being unsure whether his past memories were completely true.

In other words, the computer's browsing history can clearly match the content that Zhixing would be interested in, as well as the experience of returning to his hometown to confirm that there is no problem with his memory. Zhixing is already doubting his past life experiences.

"No matter where you go, you're still you. After all, you're not like me. Even a trace of the witch's magic can carry all your memories."

"Look, you still remember the encounters in other reincarnations that I don't remember."

"witch"

The little bear lowered his hands again and hugged the bear doll, and his tone became lower.

"Witches aren't that bad. They can also transform into an avatar. Don't you have any memories of 'Rebellion'?"

"What is 'Rebellion'? A sequel?"

"Yeah, it was in the later theatrical version. There, the witch wasn't so hated anymore. I guess everyone could accept it."

"Tell me about it!"

"Uh... I feel like my verbal skills aren't enough to describe it... You just said you can see other people's memories? Whose memories are they? How about I play the video and then you can look at it through him?"

As far as Zhixing remembers, he only brought Conan Edogawa, Anne Takamaki, and Sayaka Maizono here.

But they probably don't know much about "Rebellion", let alone "Madoka Magica".

As for the others, they also stopped in the barrier outside the witch's room. Zhixing was very sure that he would not be sensed by the witch's version of telepathy with the [Translator] on him, but he did not think that the witch's kiss could telepathically sense the memories of the possessed person.

Otherwise, there would be no need to use a contract to make the distant Witch's Kiss obey orders.

So Zhixing was also very curious about where the little bear learned the story of "Magic Circle".

But the little bear did not agree with the paper bank's idea. Instead, he held the teddy bear and thought for a long time before he stood the teddy bear upright and unzipped its back.

Zhixing sat opposite with his head tilted, unable to see what was behind the bear doll, but soon, his pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at what the little bear took out from behind the doll.

"Well, use this to show me the story called 'Rebellion'."

As the little bear spoke, he sat up straight and handed over the thing in his hand.

It was a golden magic lamp that was longer and thinner than an ordinary teapot.

It was also the [secret treasure] in his own palace that Zhixing had only seen once.

Chapter 427: To be a gangster, you need someone under you

Zhi Xing couldn't help but reach out to stop the magic lamp that Little Bear was handing over to him, and at the same time closed his eyes and tried to make himself understand the current situation.

My secret treasure was taken away by the little bear, so I have never been able to enter my palace. Do you still suspect that I lost this power after making a contract with the butterfly?

Or was it that Little Bear had crafted a magic lamp specifically for my situation? It seemed I hadn't completely removed the magic lamp's disguise when I was interrupted by a visit from Akechi Goro.

No, that's not right. After all, in my palace, Little Bear is just the only cognitive existence, not the real body. So she wouldn't know that my secret treasure is this magic lamp.

Zhixing knew very well that with his own personality, not to mention the desire to create a "palace", even the desire for ordinary life was very rare.

It is precisely because I don’t have much of an idea of ​​living for myself that I restrain myself from causing trouble to others to continue living.

But this is obviously not a desire that can form a temple, because the paper industry will not often think about and practice this desire.

So when he learned that he could also possess a palace, Zhi Xing's first reaction was the power given by Igor of the Velvet Room.

After all, as the true form of a pseudo-god, it is actually a holy grail that can satisfy the desires of others, so it is reasonable that the power it bestows is a magic lamp that grants three wishes.

At least it is more reasonable than the superior-subordinate relationship in Dragon Ball where the little dragon can get three wishes from the big dragon with just one wish.

But now it seems that it is not the power bestowed by Iger, but a real [secret treasure] constructed by Zhixing's own desires.

After all, no matter how low a person's desires are, once they encounter an opportunity to make a wish that can actually come true, the long-suppressed desires in their hearts will quickly expand.

Didn’t the hero of “Somebody”, seeing that he had the power, simply promise himself a wife that met his wishes?

What's more, Zhixing is still using the first wish and observing the results of other wishes.

Although Jixing has no memory of the "Three Wishes", even though the number of reincarnations in "Magic Circle" is limited and time is so tight, Jixing still takes the time to conservatively visit these worlds where the power systems are not strong.

Fundamentally speaking, it is because the paper industry has a conceited mentality.

Even if there is only one or two months, it is possible to resolve the Witch Night crisis that can destroy a city by [traveling] through one or two high-risk worlds, not to mention that the hundred reincarnations have lasted at least 8 years.

That's why Zhi Xing was able to calm down and prepare to go through these worlds first to understand the ability of [travel] in detail, so as to ensure his retreat to gain power.

Although the Paper Bank had not accomplished many satisfactory things along the way, that was only a problem of decision-making. It did not affect the value of being able to [travel through time], nor did it affect the huge desire that [travel through time] brought to the Paper Bank.

After figuring out in his mind that the magic lamp was probably really his secret treasure, Zhixing opened his eyes this time, flipped up the troublesome blindfold, and looked at the evidence in front of him that indirectly confirmed that he was the one who made the "three wishes". This time he raised his head and looked at the little bear who remained silent so that he could think carefully.

"Is this... mine?"

Little Bear nodded, letting Zhixing take a deep breath, calm down, and then asked:

"When did this happen? When was it taken away?"

"At that time, something came over. Didn't you tell me that you didn't want this secret treasure to be taken away by the other party?"

"So, while you were asleep, I sent my familiar over to get this out."

""

Zhixing patted his head and suddenly remembered a setting.

That is, the secret treasure will only appear within 24 hours after the notice letter is sent and received.

Although he is still thinking about whether he can use the method of the protagonists of "Chuunibyou" to make an appointment for 24 hours at a specified time, Zhixing still remembers that when he first saw this magic lamp, it was less than a day after he recovered from being transformed into a demon.

The reason why Zhixing was able to stop being a demon was because he received a warning letter from the Phantom Thieves and returned to his original state.

If the secret treasure had already appeared at that time, then it would indeed only have 24 hours for someone else to take it away.

After all, [Phantom Thief] is just a self-proclaimed title, and there is no professional skill bonus, so even if he is the bear's familiar, it seems that there is no problem in playing the role of a [Phantom Thief]. Anyway, there are no shadow monster soldiers guarding the [hall].

"Little Bear, can I ask you for a favor?"

Zhixing's expression was very serious. He looked into the little bear's eyes and asked eagerly.

"What's going on?"

"Can you tell me to put aside my worries, take action, and become someone who integrates knowledge and action, is full of drive, and can focus on achieving my goals?"

The little bear shook his head slightly and did not accept the request.

"You want to change your mind, so you want to improve your execution, right?"

"Is it impossible to change one's heart to this extent? Or is it just enough to acknowledge one's sins?"

Zhi Xing looked at the secret treasure lamp in the little bear's hand with confusion.

"I'm sorry, that's not possible."

Zhi Xing looked back into the little bear's eyes and asked curiously:

"Can't help or don't want to do this?"

"This kind of thing is impossible. I did it when I got the secret treasure that belonged to you."

"But just having the secret treasure alone is useless. The secret treasure can't understand what I say. Only when your own shadow is present can you change your heart."

Zhi Xing was silent for a while, but still spoke:

"I think I should be my own shadow. Well, although it's a little special, it should be correct."

Zhixing has rethought this recently and believes that there is a high probability that he is the shadow created by himself who promised future power in "Magic Circle".

After all, there are basically only two types of people who can utilize the power of the [Cognitive World].

One type is represented by Amamiya Ren, who is a personality mask user who obtains the support of shadow monsters through contracts.

Like a magical girl, she can change her clothes, summon weapons, and use the skills possessed by the mask shadow.

And considering that Amamiya Ren can subdue the shadow monsters she encounters and can also use the skills originally used by the opponent, the power of the personality mask can be classified into the power system of the shadow monsters.

Therefore, the mona created by Igor can also use the power of the personality mask.

The other is the power of the Lord of the [Palace], which is the method of using the power after separating it from the body.

Even if it is a shadow at the level of distorted space, the power it can use is still the same as that of a shadow monster, with only a few limited skills and a thick enough health bar.

But once it becomes the [Hall] level.

Not only does it have the ability to create cognitive existence, but it can also transform the shadow monsters wandering outside into soldiers through contracts to protect the shadows after their power is separated.

The reason why you have strength but don't use it is that you become powerless and have to rely on others for protection.

Its purpose is probably the same as that of the witch, which is to use these shadow monsters to consume the invaders' power, so that when facing themselves who have secret treasures that can temporarily become stronger, they can defeat the invaders.

After all, in addition to containing all the desires of the Lord of the Hall, the secret treasure also contains the desires of many shadow monsters that have been traded through contracts, so the Lord of the Hall will only be stronger than when fighting alone.

However, this kind of strengthening is not like that of a witch who can maintain normal state, nor is it like a witch splitting her familiars. All the power comes from oneself.

But one thing is the same.

That is the ability to create a cognitive existence, which the personality mask does not possess.

Therefore, Goro Akechi, who had more experience and strength, possessed the information on cognitive science provided by Shido Zhengyi, and had practiced in the [Cognitive World] many times, could fight one against five, and could even materialize shadow monsters to control them, did not expect the existence of cognition and was deceived by Amamiya Ren and others.

And Amamiya Ren and others were able to carry out this scam through the Lord of the Hall, Niijima Sae, rather than other members of the Phantom Thieves or Amamiya Ren himself to create the cognitive existence.
