Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"Maybe I just guessed wrong. How can anything...expand another barrier...within a barrier?"

(Yeah, how is that possible? It's not a nightmare. A nightmare contains part of the witch's power, enough to act as a "familiar" to several magical girl opponents!)

My brain, which had difficulty recalling knowledge during exams, now no longer needed paper to think about it, and past memories quickly surfaced in my mind:

"Familiars and witches all wander from outside the city, so the circular tram can effectively detect traces of witches..."

"Although I wanted to intercept Witch Night in advance, without the City Heart, I still couldn't find Witch Night..."

"Not only does Witch Night consume a huge amount of mana, but it doesn't even drop a single Seed of Sorrow. Therefore, the death rate after the war is even higher than during the war..."

"Now that I can compare speeds, I can see that... the remaining magic power after the Witch Night was destroyed dissipates very slowly..."

Zhixing slowly raised his head, looked at the ceiling blocked by the subway, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

As if it were a signal, the Witch's Kiss tattoo also emerged from Zhixing's neck at the right time.

"Come back to your senses."

Homura summoned her magic power, causing the gem to emit a dazzling light, and spoke to Zhi Xing.

The light disappeared in a flash. Although it accidentally injured some people riding the subway, Zhixing was able to wake up. He stared at Xiaoyan with his mouth wide open.

"That's all. You should be able to sense the witch's presence now."

Upon hearing this, Zhixing lowered his head to look at his phone which had automatically stopped playing after the picture was played. For a moment, he had no motivation to sense the witch.

Although the inducement of the witch's kiss has been dispelled by the magical girl's magic.

Although the Witch's Kiss cannot be purified, Zhi Xing can still sense the Witch's location.

But after all, it is not amnesia magic, and the knowledge that has been acquired cannot be eliminated just like that. Zhixing is still immersed in the fact that Witch Night may just be a familiar, and the size of Witch Night's barrier.

"Hey, what were you doing there? I was photographed from such a distance."

Kyoko originally just wanted to follow from a distance, but when she saw Homura pull out the gem and act like she was releasing magic, she quickly rushed to the scene.

As a result, the expected quarrel did not occur, and Xingzi could not go back to her seat, so she came over with an attitude of accusing him.

“I saw some interesting ideas.”

Mami, who had watched the data * together, looked thoughtful, and then explained to Kyoko:

"It seems to be saying that Witch Night might just be an underdeveloped familiar?"

"Are you serious? Witch Night is at least as powerful as a witch that threatens the entire city. It's definitely not comparable to those witches who only devoured one or two people. Can this be considered a familiar?"

Unlike Homura who had actually seen and fought against Witch Night, Asami and Kyoko's knowledge of Witch Night was just hearsay, so they didn't need much evidence. It was just a guess, and they could discuss it seriously first.

"let me see!"

Xingzi snatched the phone from Zhixing's grasp and started looking at it.

"Only read this page. If you read more, I won't take you with me next time."

Homura not only did not stop Kyoko's actions, nor did she force Kabukiyo to sense the witch, nor did she object to Asami's statement. She just told Kyoko not to look at the other two pictures.

"Tsk, who cares about such unrealistic speculation? Just pick it up."

Although she just flipped through it and glanced at it twice, the words were recognized by Anzi after all. With the dynamic vision and reaction ability of the magical girl's physique, she was able to understand most of it and then threw it back to the paper without any care.

The paper bank, whose phone was taken away and then hit by it, finally reacted.

The paper merchant ignored his phone and slowly looked out the window of the tram.

Although it is a subway station, unlike the original location of the paper shop, the tram does not run underground, but on the ground, mostly on the overpass.

Therefore, through the car window, you can see that after dinner time, the sky begins to darken and dusk has not yet fallen.

Compared to the three magical girls beside her, Zhixing knows something about witches that the other girls cannot understand.

That was at the end of the TV series. In order to destroy all the witches, Madoka Kaname provoked the most powerful witch except for the movie version - the Space Witch!

Although because of the ending, the Space Witch is used as a stepping stone for Madoka's combat power, but in order to show the power of the Space Witch.

When the Space Witch came to the Earth, a scene appeared in which the entire Earth was surrounded by black magic.

When I first saw the paper, I felt a sense of disharmony.

Because these black shadows, which represent intensity, are clearly released from the universe and cover the earth, but in the animation they do not appear to be drilling into the earth, and they surround the entire earth.

It was as if there was a transparent cover covering the entire earth.

Although there is the possibility of the "atmosphere" option, the witch's power is enough to move directly through walls, which is equivalent to being in a different space. She will not be forced to slow down and be unable to enter for a while because of passing through the atmosphere.

If the Space Witch is the proof from the outside, then Madoka's arrow is the proof from the inside.

The arrow used to destroy the witch pierced through the dark clouds and suddenly unfolded a large "Anti-Life Tree" magic circle at a certain high point, and then spread its power across the globe, destroying all the witches on Earth at that time, which is why the Cosmic Witch was attracted.

But it can't be higher than a satellite!

Satellites can only reach 1/3 of the world's area. How can Xiaoyuan achieve globalization with such a small height?

If it relied on the power of a wish, why would one need to fly so high? One could transform oneself into an arrow right then and there, radiating across the entire world.

Unless there is some reason to fly so high, such as... the barrier used by Kyubey in the movie that can block the power of wishes.

Of course, Witch Night couldn't block wishes, after all, she was killed by Madoka.

But the witch's barrier is considered an alien space!

In order to affect the entire world, the magic circle was deployed only after passing through the alien space and arriving at the space where the earth is located. Thinking about it this way, it makes a lot more sense.

Zhixing stared at the ever-changing sky outside in a trance, and didn't even hear what the three people beside him were saying.

After a long time, as the tram drove into the backlit area of ​​high-rise buildings, the buildings that kept blocking the view made the absent-minded paper line escape from the association of information.

"Ah~" Zhi Xing rubbed his eyes, which had been blinking less frequently in order to see the sky, then looked at the eye-catching figure in the darkness and pointed, "The witch is in that direction."

"What are you doing all of a sudden?

"Hey Hey hey!"

Zhi Xing put down his hand and opened his eyes in confusion, only to see that Xiao Yan on his left had disappeared, and his hand was just above the empty space.

"Boom, boom."

Homura landed lightly from the ceiling of the tram. Except for Mami and Kyoko who were standing nearby, no one noticed that Homura had just reacted with a backflip from her seat to the ceiling of the tram, thus avoiding the arm that was sweeping across from Kazuhiro's head.

Homura brushed her hair that had been blown to the front by the somersault, and then walked to the door of the tram, looking at the direction of the paper line's finger.

Because it was not an emergency, the two people who only had time to speak out and did not take any action to stop it, just looked at Xiao Yan's solo performance and the paper line who froze and pointed in the direction.

"From this direction, could it be the witch Kazamiya wandering over here?"

Homura stated in a firm tone.

"It takes me several hours to drive here. Don't slander me without permission. I came here because I received an invitation from Mami to wipe out all the witches in Kazamino."

Xingzi retorted dissatisfiedly.

"If a witch can be born in just one or two days and then come all the way here, I won't accept the invitation to come here to play."

"Indeed, that was probably a witch wandering from the suburbs, and she just happened to be drawn in that direction by the population of Mitakihara."

"Asami's right. Maybe it's somewhere on the highway, attracted by the popularity of the bus going between the two cities, and then floated all the way here. Isn't it always like this?"

"You'll know about that kind of thing when you go and see it."

Xiao Yan didn't care about the two people who were pretending to cooperate, and spoke with an attitude of fact, and then confirmed the tattoo pattern on Zhi Xing's neck.

"Is it so dangerous outside the city?"

Zhihang, who had been holding up his hand, seemed to have another idea and turned around to ask.

"It's not dangerous at all. As far as I know, the official magical girls, in order to avoid conflicts with ordinary magical girls like us, will not participate in the subjugation of witches in the city. Instead, they assist in the maintenance of transportation, which is work needed by the country."

"Is there such a thing? I thought there was only the Five Colors Team here?"

"Wait, don't count me in this childish stuff without permission. Well, except for Asami."

"Oh~ Do you think my stuff is childish?"

"I'm no longer your junior, so it's better not to include me in this matter. Of course, if I get some Sorrow Seeds as a reward, I can help you deal with Witch Night."

"Compared to Sayaka, I'm stronger, at least I don't need you to distract yourself and take care of me."

Zhihang watched helplessly as the topic was diverted, and then watched a discussion break out between the two people, which was more like a discussion of past grudges based on social etiquette than a bargaining.

Zhi Xing, who was unable to participate, looked at Homura who had returned to her seat in silence and asked quietly:

"Why do you look so familiar?"

Xiao Yan stretched out a finger, shook it twice in front of Zhi Xing, and then leaned against the railing and closed her eyes to rest.

"About 4 stops, keep an eye out."

Seeing that Homura could confirm her location without looking at a map, Zhixing didn't dare to interrupt her. He could only look at the arrival display screen of the tram, and at the corner of his eye, he watched Mami and Kyoko who were communicating with each other.

It seems that the fan fiction of Tomato and Egg CP is indeed true. Then what else in the information about the foreign aid makes me feel desperate?

Unwilling to escape from Madoka Magica's hopeless worldview out of habit, Zhi Xing became more alert to the remaining seven hopeless materials.

But there is no time to dwell and hesitate.

Zhihang took the opportunity to check the time on his phone when the tram stopped at a station.

“12/06/05，20：15”

The paper line calculated silently.

Excluding today, the 5th, and the Witch Night, the 15th, there are only 9 days left.

Compared to watching all the movies at once, it might cause Witch Night to arrive early. The probability of this happening is small, but it is possible.

It would be easier to digest if you spread it out and read it once a day.

So, I only have two days left to explore new information this week?

And in order to avoid collisions, I probably have to wait until I finish reading this information, and then spend a day thinking and experimenting before I can finally summarize a piece of information or fill in part of it.

Although I did some calculations in my mind, I felt that time was not enough and I wanted to finish reading all the other information right away.

But when Zhixing thought about the fact that after this month-long Witch's Night, he would be surrounded by a huge barrier from which he could not escape, and even the familiars were of the Witch's Night level, he seemed to hear the familiars speaking incomprehensible words beside him, and then staring at him, waiting for the negative emotions that might appear at any time.

I can't muster the desire to lift the veil of despair. Even if I don't lift it, I still have to face these desperate problems. But I can put it off for one day longer. I had this mentality a long time ago, which is why I stayed at home after leaving my internship.

Chapter 54: Super Elementary Misfortune

The tram arrived at the station after only a few stops, leaving the paper merchant no time to think.

Led by Homura, the four of them got off the train and quickly headed to their destination. On the way, Kyoko seemed to have reached some agreement with Asami, and followed Homura and Kazuya side by side.

Zhi Xing was walking among the three people, feeling a little uncomfortable.

In the past, when following Mami on patrol, Mami always took the lead, Sayaka followed in the middle, and Zhixing just hung behind and watched the show as a spectator.

So after the two people behind him fell silent, Zhi Xing couldn't help but ask Xiao Yan:

"Speaking of which, where's Sayaka? Aren't you taking her with you on patrol?"

"Could it be that after only one day, you have forgotten what you did?"

"They only stare at Sayaka when they're at school. It's already dinner time. They can't be still recovering from the whole day. Hasn't Anzi seen Sayaka?"

"Don't call me by my name casually, really." Xingzi ignored Zhixing's question and threatened, "If you do it again, I will make you realize your place."

"I'm also curious about this. Can you tell me, Anzi-chan? What was Sayaka doing while I was away?"

Asami smoothed things over and also started to care about Sayaka's movements.

"I'm not as kindhearted as Asami and don't care about Sayaka's life or death, but she is a magical girl after all. Maybe she's still on patrol at this time."

Although Anzi said that, she still gave Mami an explanation based on what she had observed about Sayaka's daily life after she became independent over the past two days.

"Now that Asami's gone, Sayaka's patrolling alone? You're not going to keep an eye on her?"

"After all, Kyoko kidnapped Madoka today, so she's naturally hiding from Sayaka. Of course, she doesn't know the details of her actions."

"Shut up, if you're talking about hiding from people, aren't you hiding from everyone? If Kyubey hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known you were a magical girl too."

"Did Kyubey say that?"

Kazuyuki sensitively felt that Kyubey might disrupt the situation, but then he thought about it and realized that in the original plot, Kyubey and Anzu had also exposed Sayaka's identity, and when Homura went to find Anzu, she was not surprised to find out that she was also a magical girl.

Thinking of this, Zhi Xing looked at Mami and asked:

"Did Asami also hear Kyubey mention that Homura is a magical girl?"
