Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"Even though they're called apostles, they're nothing more than beings that can be suppressed by the police alone, without even the military needing to be mobilized. Who would choose to experience a life-and-death separation for something like that?"

Zhixing nodded and said absentmindedly:

"I thought those rich people would keep a few girls captive to use for wishes, such as suppressing competitors."

"Don't worry, Kyubey is watching. If you interact less with others, your own karma will also decrease, and you won't be able to meet the standard for making a wish. And if you make a money transaction once or twice, since it's not a girl's true heart, the way the wish is fulfilled is often uncontrollable."

"Only a clueless youngster would do something so foolish. Anyone who knows a little wouldn't have such thoughts. We have some information on this. Would you like to take a look?"

Yuu looked at the time and felt that the magical girl from Paper Line was about to come back, so he decided to interrupt the teaching.

"One last question," Zhi Xing came back to his senses, looked at Yuu's sunglasses, took a deep breath, and asked, "What would happen if a magical girl made a wish for herself?"

"Don't go too far, Mr. Edogawa. We tell you this just to let you know that your abilities can actually be further developed. You're not just an answering machine. You have to join us to understand this kind of question."

The grumpy man reached out and patted Zhixing's shoulder, then walked past Zhixing and came to You's side.

Yuu said goodbye to the paper line:

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you this time. Since no one here is in danger and you don't want to come to our place, then you can only take care of yourself."

"Ah, bye."

Zhihang watched the two people walk towards the ticket gate with a calm expression, and then left after meeting up with the third person.

"During this period of time, we haven't seen anyone who looks like a magical girl coming in or out. Aren't we going to wait anymore?" said the third person.

"That guy has a problem. I had already used my ability on him when I interrupted him, but he could still hear me."

"Huh? When?"

"It's about the parting of life and death with a girl. What do you think?"

"He saw my sister."

"How could I not see that with such a dazzling sight?"

"I mean, seeing my sister in her entirety."

The irritable man was shocked when he heard this, and said uncertainly:

"Are you sure? Your sister has been gone for almost ten years."

"Well, compared to you guys who can only feel his gaze, he's obviously looking at people."

You put the sunglasses back into his pocket and looked at his sister who appeared beside him. Although his sister's phantom was also looking at You, there was no change except looking at her.

"You gave up because you thought it was weird? I saw you guys were talking for quite a while."

"It's none of my business. He was the one who suggested leaving first."

The two looked at the grumpy man, and the grumpy man said:

"That guy's questions were quite interesting. Normally, he wouldn't have thought of so many questions. Or, he would have been more specific and asked me what would happen if I wanted eternal life."

"But he's obviously hiding a wish, and he knows more than one girl who hasn't made a wish. When he heard about vampires, his expression was a little conflicted."

"You mean, there's someone assisting him from behind?"

"Like I said, except for the nouveau riche, no one would be unaware of the price of bearing a girl's wish, and naturally would not do such a thing. What's more, his ability is only to talk, so it feels like the whole wish is wasted."

"What do you mean?"

"I think there are a few magical girls behind him. They're probably doing a wish-cloning thing, just like the magical girl group that sealed the city with a barrier."

"You mean, there are magical girls hiding out there? We've been trolled?"

"I don't know, that's why I didn't interrupt your explanation. Anyway, let's escape back to headquarters first. Get in the car."

After seeing the three people leave, Zhixing covered his head with his hands, making his vision dark, and then began to recall the previous conversation.

"The price for unlimited repetitions is paid by others, that's how it works. No wonder they said they were going to destroy the witch, but in the end, they cleared away the filth and the person was gone. It's not like the Seed of Sorrow, which can be restored to a gleaming state even when the filth is almost full."

"Is the price of destroying the witch paid by the magical girl herself? Or does she destroy the witch inside her body in order to destroy the witch?"

"The number of magical girls born in a civilization's history is limited, but by involving other universes, the number has suddenly increased to infinity. In this case, the effect of the wish should be as low as that of the Seed of Sorrow."

"After all, the Space Witch appeared after the birth of the universe, which means that the effect of the wish was already too weak."

"Huh? How did the Space Witch come about?"

Zhixing was stunned for a moment, as if he had grasped a clue, and tried hard to recall the lines from the original plot that he had not reviewed or memorized.

(That was the Soul Gem her prayer had brought...)

"Could it be that they weren't actually destroyed, but were transferred and brought back?"

"The Space Witch rushed in from outside and headed straight for Earth. It seems that she was indeed retrieved from outside to Madoka. With Madoka as the center, she brought back the Soul Gem that was touched by the wish in the parallel universe and then took responsibility for all of this."

"And finally, by destroying itself, the recovered gems lose the ability to grant wishes and consume their own energy to return?"

I feel like I'm thinking in the wrong direction, but I don't quite know how to think about it.

So he shook his head and looked at the time "22:42"

"Why haven't you come back yet at this hour?"

Seeing that there were not many people left around, Zhixing felt like an abandoned child, feeling a little restless.

He took out his cell phone and looked through it, but didn't see Xiaoyan's phone number. Zhixing felt a little uneasy and stood at the ticket gate.

"Could it be that this number is another option for me? If I go there, will I choose to go there?"

Zhihang glanced at the electronic version of the Chinese catalog and immediately found the possible target.

"Duration of wish---30"

Zhi Xing bit his lip, resisting the urge to open it, and then ran to the staff outside and asked:

"Excuse me, what time does this place close?"

"The last bus leaves at midnight and takes 30 minutes to get here and 5 minutes in the opposite direction. Which station do you want to go to, sir?"

"I"

Zhixing was stunned and looked at the tram table with station names written on it, but he couldn't even call out his current station.

The station names were in Japanese, the first time I took the bus I didn’t recognize was at the Homura station, and I didn’t even count the number of stations I had passed along the way.

Apart from the fact that we didn't change buses midway, I don't know anything else.

No, there are still a few stations that I know, the station near Mami's home where I have been riding for more than a week, and the stations near schools and hospitals that I specifically checked at the beginning.

So, do you want to ask the time?

"I understand, thank you."

Zhixing didn't dare to ask any more questions and turned around and sat back in his previous seat.

I checked the battery level of my phone. It wouldn’t be a problem for me to watch anime until midnight, but if I don’t go back to charge it, I might not have much time to use it tomorrow.

Standing up, I walked towards the tram station map and began to figure out how to get there if I had to walk.

After all, this new mobile phone cannot search for maps online.

He clicked on the tram map to enlarge the projected image, opened the memo, and began to count the number of intersections one by one, and when they needed to turn.

"That's enough. Sorry for the wait. Let's go."

Homura's voice came from behind Jixing, who was already halfway through drawing a map.

Zhi Xing looked back and saw Homura, dressed in the uniform of Mitakihara Junior High School, looking at him with a shopping bag in her hand.

"Oh, come right away."

Seeing that the real owner had returned, Zhixing no longer needed to consider alternative plans. He exited from the memo and glanced at the time "23:00"

Zhixing sensed something was wrong and looked at Xiaoyan again.

"what happened?"

Since the train hadn't arrived yet and Homura had finished her work, she responded to the paper company's actions.

This made Zhixing even more hesitant. After taking a closer look, Zhixing looked at Homura's hair and asked:

"Why did you change your headscarf to black?"

"That's a headband, not a ribbon."

"It's all the same. Don't worry about the details. Just understand it."

"That's why you're not popular with girls. You've been living with Asami for so long, yet you're still not trusted."

Homura shook her head and commented:

"You are still too straight. Apart from the business, you basically don't participate in anything. And you can't help much with the business. If Mami hadn't been worried that something might happen to you outside, she would have stopped caring about you a long time ago."

Hearing Homura's completely different demeanor and tone, Zhi Xing immediately questioned:

"No way, isn't Mami quite kind? I'm clearly connected to the future, so why would she drive me away?"

"If you are real, and you are of no use during Witch Night, of course we have to get rid of you, so as to avoid making people feel bad about our friendship."

"If you're fake, then I'm only keeping you here to meet the person behind the scenes. I'm sure it won't take too long. You'd better leave."

Zhi Xing couldn't help but take two steps back, saying as he did so:

"Why do I feel like your double standards are so similar to mine?"

"Of course, those are your own words. If not you, who else could they be like?"

As Homura said this, she suddenly moved towards the paper shop from where she was waiting for the bus.

"That's a bit too much. I'm warning you, keep your distance from me."

"Didn't you look quite happy when I approached you just now?"

"No way, there are obviously too many people on the train!"

"Why did you run when I was just walking over? Shouldn't you just stand there, laugh a few times, and then say you dared to come close?"

Zhixing swallowed his saliva, looked around anxiously at the tram station that had been completely deserted for some time, and consoled himself:

"It's okay. Witch's Kiss shouldn't cause hallucinations. It must be those people from earlier. They said they were leaving, but ended up setting someone else up to trap me..."

"boom!"

The back of the paper was posted on the notice board that was just looking at the map, interrupting the paper's mumbling.

So Zhi Xing had no choice but to look at the approaching Xiao Yan and shouted:

"Don't come over here! I'm warning you! I carry a lot of karma with me. If you get close to me, you'll be in big trouble!"

"Don't worry. Although you might come up with a seemingly convincing explanation, I've seen more of your erroneous opinions than I've ever seen before. So I can tell you very clearly that at least your contact with magical girls...will not lead to misfortune."

"What do you mean by that? You don't mean to be together?"

When he saw that Homura was close enough to be touched by his hand, he suddenly stopped and lifted his hair.

Zhi Xing leaned against the wall and had no way to retreat. He carefully shrank back and asked:

"What do you want to do by coming over here suddenly?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious. You didn't touch me much this time, so why did something unexpected happen?"

"Isn't your change caused by your own wishes? You said it has nothing to do with me, so why are you blaming me?"

"Proof of the opposite. You can't affect our causal changes. Similarly, our distortions can't affect your choices."

Xiaoyan just looked at Zhixing, making Zhixing, who had never had the chance to interact with Xiaoyan, look away a little at a loss.

"Ahem, well, why do I feel like you said a lot of things you shouldn't have said? Where's your personality?"

"How dare you say that? You were the one who forced me to write down what you said. To ensure the transmission of the information, you didn't even allow me to make changes. What could I do?"

"Uh... this."

"Don't try to shirk responsibility. Don't make it sound like you're not going to do anything after this. You're also responsible."

Zhixing was silent for a moment, and the troubled thoughts in his heart were temporarily suppressed.

Xiao Yan did not speak again and just waited quietly for a while.

"Hmm~~Buzz~!"

The tram began to slow down and enter the station, breaking the deadlock between the two.
