Facing the paper company's revelation, Xiao Yan refuted as usual.
"Ah, don't you still have school to go to? Is that enough time?"
"That's the opposite. You should say that everyone can use the time to go to school. Is that not enough time? That's the correct way."
Homura responded as if imitating someone's tone.
"So, what is that plan? How do you manage to restrict magical girls?"
"It's no big deal. It just deprives you of your magic power so that you won't be sacrificed early when facing a difficult witch. That's all."
"really?"
Asami listened to Homura's explanation and turned her gaze towards the paper line.
"That's probably true, right? That witch is the type you'll definitely lose if you fight her alone. She's the type that can constantly escape and isn't afraid of being tied up."
"As for the rest, I can't see it now. At least I don't understand why he has to regain consciousness from time to time, and then release him immediately now. It's obviously acceptable to stay like this until Witch Night."
"Are you asking me to lie there for more than ten days without taking a bath or eating?"
"Uh, no no no, that's right, shouldn't the magical girl's magic also have a cleansing effect? Look, inanimate objects can be enchanted and controlled."
"Well, that was the original plan. We had you stay in your room until Witch Night arrived," Homura agreed. "But... plans change, and it's always like that."
As Homura said this, the three of them arrived at the subway station.
"Oh, you're so slow! Did you guys go back and have dinner before coming here?"
Anzi was holding a bag of fresh, bright apples, sitting on a chair and watching Homura and the other two approaching.
"There's no other way. It will take some time for Mami's body to recover. I should have told you this a long time ago."
"Hmph, who knows if this is just an excuse for you to delay. Well, it's not me who's going to be hungry anyway, right, Madoka?"
When Kazuyuki turned around after hearing Anzi's voice, he saw a female student from Mitakihara Junior High School next to him, but he couldn't recognize who she was because this live-action version was too distracting.
Although Zhixing saw at a glance that the other person's hairstyle was not a pair of ponytails, he immediately ruled out Xiaoyuan, but Xingzi's words revealed the other person's identity.
"Madoka?"
Zhixing looked at Homura, who was not in a hurry at all, with confusion, while looking at the female student who he didn't know whether it was Madoka.
"It's okay. I guess you don't want Asami to know that you deliberately kidnapped a student from the same school as a threat, and tortured her and made her starve."
"Tsk, you're really weird too. Are you also from that...right, the future?"
"Ugh, Homura-chan~ Help me, I really need to get back to finish my homework. If I don't catch up, I'll get scolded again."
The female student next to Xingzi cried.
"Well, as agreed, I've brought Asami here. It's time for you to let her go."
"Indeed, you didn't take the opportunity to escape, so naturally I have to keep my promise. You are free."
The female student suddenly became happy, stood up, bowed to Homura and said:
"Thank you, Yanchan. I'll be going back now."
After saying this, as if afraid that Anzi would regret it, he quickly fled from here, and at the same time secretly vowed in his heart to stay away from this gangster Homura Akemi.
"Well, now that we've done what we agreed to do and it's 2-on-1, what are you going to do, Homura Akemi-san?"
Kyoko stood up and walked half a circle around Homura, then stood in a straight line with Asami and Homura.
"What happened to that child just now? Did you use her to threaten Homura Akemi?"
Asami, who had been silent until now, spoke up because she didn't fully understand the situation.
"Well, I finally remembered that you mentioned before that another qualified girl, Kaname Madoka, seemed to be being protected by her, so I tried it and used her in exchange for your freedom."
Xingzi showed her hearty canine smile and announced what she had done to Mami.
Mami looked at the expressionless Homura Akemi, and the silent Zhi Xing who had realized something midway, and sighed:
"Really? Putting aside how bad your intentions were, that girl just now wasn't Kaname Madoka herself."
"Huh? But, I clearly saw..."
"Yes, I went to meet him today on purpose. His name also has the character 'yuan' in it."
"I was wondering why you were so confident. You actually played a trick on me. It's obviously not the real Madoka, but you still kept the appointment."
"Whether it's the real Madoka or not, it's at least a human life, so is there anything wrong with me coming to the appointment?"
Anzi saw Asami nodded instinctively, as if she was on Homura's side, and immediately took an angry bite of the apple.
Then he turned to look at the paper walker who was not participating:
"Hey, you've already escaped, why are you still here? You must be an accomplice of Homura Akemi!"
"You are all my wings, protecting me from the shadow of the witch. Brave, great heroes, why do you want to hurt each other? Can't you just gather five... four-color teams in peace, and then quickly destroy Witch Night and save this city?"
Faced with Xingzi's provocation, Zhixing said something that he would not normally say, which immediately gave everyone goosebumps.
Seeing that the scene was shocked by him, Zhi Xing returned to his original tone and looked at Xiao Yan and said:
"So, can we go on patrol on the subway now?"
Zhixing nervously grabbed his new phone with a few photos stored on it, as well as the matching Bluetooth headset, and looked at Xiaoyan with his heart beating faster.
"Well, let's go to the subway station."
Homura nodded and walked towards the ticket gate.
"Hey, are you just going to leave like this? Ignoring me?"
Kyoko cried out as she watched Homura and Kazuyuki turn and leave.
Mami thought about it for a moment, and seeing that Zhixing had followed him, she walked towards the ticket gate a little worriedly, and looked back at Xingzi apologetically.
"Damn it, you actually dared to play tricks on me, this matter is not over yet!"
Xingzi took a bite of the apple angrily and said bitterly.
Zhi Xing listened to Anzi's movements behind him, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Homura and saw that she didn't move. Then, he turned around and shouted,
"Don't argue with me, just come over here and try it out without any effort."
"Ha, can't you see who I'm mad at? What made you invite me over?"
"If you don't come, you won't be able to catch the same bus. Think about it carefully."
The paper shop waved, then turned the corner through the ticket gate and disappeared from Xingzi's sight.
"Damn it, what the hell are they doing? Can't they just act like a magical girl?"
Xingzi finished eating the apple in her hand and was about to leave the station. After all, there was no home for Xingzi here, so it didn't matter where she went.
But after taking two steps, Xingzi stopped and sighed:
"There's really nothing I can do. After all, I got the wrong person. Let's go and see if that guy has returned safely."
Explaining her reason, Xingzi turned and walked towards the ticket gate.
After entering the station, Zhixing looked at the arrival time of the next bus, then silently looked back. Before the train arrived, Xingzi's figure appeared in Zhixing's sight.
"Cut~"
Xingzi also noticed Zhixing looking back, but she had no intention of going closer. Instead, she waited at another boarding gate and looked around.
Seeing Kyoko following, Zhixing nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Homura and asked:
"Is it okay?"
"You can start after you get on the tram."
After receiving the reply, Zhixing clenched his fists, then quickly released them. He fiddled with his phone to connect the earphones a little nervously, then adjusted the earphones and put them on, quietly waiting for the tram to arrive.
For Zhixing, the feeling of choosing to move forward even though you know there is hell ahead is a thing that happened a long time ago.
The situation where you know a certain show has a spoiler but still click on it to watch it only existed in the past when you could only watch anime during your weekly break, and you would get spoilers about the sequel in advance.
After finishing my internship at the paper industry, I stayed at home and watched as much anime as I could. I didn't waste time reading spoilers at all. I just clicked the play button ignorantly and fearlessly when I saw that the content of the introduction was suitable.
Zhixing glanced at the * part of his phone that was already pulled up and ready for voice calls at any time, while looking at the countdown for the tram to arrive at the station.
I was so nervous that I felt like I had high blood pressure.
Ordinary tragedies may vary from person to person, but this is the despair that I have personally experienced. I really don’t want to face it, but if I don’t despair, it will be of no use.
Faced with a reality that only serves to make things worse, Zhixing can only lower his head, look at the words that can make him realize his value, and take a deep breath.
"Are you okay? You seem to be in pain."
Asami, who had never seen Paper Line behave like this, asked with some concern.
"It's okay, I'm just a little nervous. The subway is coming soon, let's get in line first."
Zhixing looked at the arrival advance notice that had turned from numbers into text, listened to the announcement that resounded throughout the hall, and responded to Mami.
"The tram is about to arrive at the station. Please queue in an orderly manner and stay away from the tracks. The tram will arrive shortly."
"Hmm~~Hum~~"
The tram came from a distance, slowly slowed down, and finally stopped in front of everyone.
Zhixing and others followed the crowd into the tram. Fortunately, there were three empty seats.
"Conan-kun, just sit in the middle. You can also show it to Mami. Don't misunderstand that I'm persecuting you or something."
Homura took the lead and sat at the side, leaving the remaining empty seats for Kamisaki and Asami.
"What are you going to do, Conan-kun?"
Asami was a little confused about Homura's purpose, so she became curious about what she could watch together.
"It's nothing, you'll know after you see it."
Zhixing huddled his legs together somewhat awkwardly, not daring to cross them as usual.
Then, while Mami couldn't see the content on the phone, he switched the content of the voice message from the * part of the foreign aid list to the * part of Witch's Night.
Finally, he took a deep breath, and with the mentality of using the CD as soon as possible, Zhixing spread his phone out so that Mami could see it, and clicked on the play button.
"Most of the following content has not been confirmed and is just Conan's speculation, but it is still divided here to leave some room for future improvement."
"As you know, Conan can actively trigger the corresponding witch's Witch Kiss Mark without the proximity of a familiar. This is obviously unreasonable, not to mention that he can also leave a trace of magic that far exceeds the witch's movement."
"But this trace is also very special. When the magical girl deliberately lights up the soul gem, this magic power will disappear directly as if it came out of nothing."
"In response to this, Conan made a hypothesis: If Witch Night is just a larger witch, then it should actually have a barrier. At least, as set, even if the barrier cannot be formed, there will still be this casting process."
"But when Witch Night arrived, the gems didn't react to it. I didn't notice it before because I was in battle, but after careful observation, I can confirm it."
"So Conan came to an unfounded conclusion: Mitakihara might have been shrouded in the barrier of Witch Night all along! And the reason why he couldn't feel the witch's magic inside the barrier was because the magical girl's magic would dispel the magic of Witch Night, so he could only detect the reactions of other witches."
"And the reason why Conan was able to be infected with the Witch's Kiss without any contact is actually because there is always a familiar of the Witch's Night around him that the magical girl cannot see!"
Chapter 53 The aftereffect is quite strong
Zhi Xing's breathing calmed down, as if this was just an ordinary piece of information.
Mami was also full of doubts about this content, and continued watching it as it played automatically without pausing.
"Let's not even talk about whether familiars, which magical girls can't see, really exist. Even if they do, a witch's kiss can only occur when there's a witch nearby."
"So this conclusion doesn't yield any useful information."
"But Conan is so hopeless. There must be some unknown clues. I hope we can find evidence in the future."
The content ended here, and Mami looked around.
The usual office workers who get off work after dinner, students who are out for fun, and a few elderly people.
It looks no different from usual.
Asami looked at Homura in confusion and was about to speak when she saw Homura holding the Soul Gem in her right hand, resting it on Zhixing's shoulder, silently waiting for something.
"I see, that's it? This kind of thing won't cause me any harm, right?"
Zhixing mocked in a low voice. If Zhixing wasn't staring silently at the floor, Mami would have thought that Zhixing was not affected by the content.
(Yeah, so what if it's just within the witch's barrier? The witch can only make her familiars appear at will, that's all.)
"With that big tree in the city, it should be no problem to block the Witch Night."
(So why, when Witch Night already has a barrier, does it have another range restriction that looks like a barrier?)
