As soon as he finished speaking, Zhixing watched as Mami grabbed his chest, pulled out a disposable rifle, and aimed it at Zhixing.

"boom!"

The bullet grazed Zhi Xing's neck and shattered the bowl behind him. Immediately afterwards, several yellow "tentacles" emerged from the point where the bullet had landed.

No, it's a yellow ribbon.

She deftly tied up the paper and carried it off the platform. The next moment, the witch roared in anger, unspoken in words, and charged at Mami.

The witch's huge body also knocked over the entire maintenance platform during the sprint.

The paper, protected by the ribbon, withstood the impact and was brought to the ground in the square.

Just as Zhi Xing realized what had just happened from this unfolding that was more exciting than bungee jumping, he found that the ribbon began to surround him in circles at a rapid speed.

"Wait! Wait! I'm alive! A real person, not a familiar!"

Zhixing recalled the move that could kill the witch instantly, and finally came up with an idea and shouted.

"You're in the way, just stay put."

Mami replied casually during the battle, and then Zhixing's mouth was circled by a ribbon, and then his eyes and head were wrapped tightly, leaving only a small space for his nose to breathe.

Some time passed.

Because it was my first time being tied up? Swallowing my balls? Bound?

In short, Zhi Xing, who was still struggling, suddenly felt his whole body relax and the ribbon slipped off his body smoothly.

When Zhi Xing opened his eyes, he was stimulated by the bright and scorching sun.

Sitting up, Zhi Xing looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar rooftop and murmured, "Is it over?"

"You haven't disappeared yet. What's going on with you?"

The voice came from behind. Zhixing turned around and saw Mami dressed as a magical girl, holding a gun in one hand and pointing it at him.

"Stop, I, I am..."

The paper operator, who was unable to react on the spot, wanted to explain something, but the draft in his mind had already been disrupted by this series of unexpected situations.

Just when Zhixing didn't know what to say, Mami's eyes began to become sharp.

"Ding!"

It wasn't that a system appeared in the brain, but something fell on the roof.

The originally flustered paper bank was looking around anxiously to retrieve the draft that he had been thinking about so hard.

After hearing the sound, he subconsciously looked over. It was a pitch-black hollow sphere, with a slender needle extending from the bottom of the sphere, directly piercing the ground, holding the entire thing in place.

The panicked expression instantly disappeared. Zhi Xing looked up and saw a patch-like pattern standing above the sphere.

"That's the Seed of Sorrow that the witch dropped earlier. Judging from your expression, I think you recognize it."

Witnessing the entire process of Zhixing's calmness, Mami casually explained it, but she already had a definition of Zhixing in her mind.

That was after Mami became a magical girl and improved her weapons, reducing the burden of battle to the point where she could even eliminate familiars at once.

Watching Mami slay all the witch's familiars, Kyubey, who served as her pet companion, asked, "Mami, why do you waste so much magic energy? It would be bad if you can't defeat the witch."

"Don't worry, I did this to prevent tragedies from happening again. It's not a waste at all."

"Pressure, pressure, Mami. Do you know why most victims caught in the barrier don't die immediately?"

"I don't know the reason for this kind of thing, Kyubey, do you know?"

Kyubey didn't answer, but gave an example.

"In the past, there was a magical girl who discovered a living human while she was clearing out witches."

"The witch did not harm this human, and the human begged the girl not to harm the witch."

"The girl saw the witch's kiss on the human, so she ignored him and dealt with the witch."

"That human was saddened by the witch's disappearance, but didn't do anything on the spot."

"But a few days later, the girl saw the news that the special survivor had detonated the gas, implicating all the surrounding neighbors."

"The girl rushed to the scene and conducted a thorough investigation, but found no trace of the Witch's Kiss."

"Then I asked around about the survivor's situation and found out that his sister had disappeared on the same day he was rescued."

"After some investigation, the magical girl came to a conclusion."

"The survivor, under the influence of the Witch's Kiss, mistook the witch who killed his sister for his own missing sister. He couldn't accept the witch's destruction, leading to this outcome."

"Asami, you who try to save everyone, if you were to encounter a situation like this one day, what would you do?"

The memories faded away, and Mami looked at Zhixing's performance. She never expected that she would actually encounter the situation in the story, and she was in a dilemma for a moment.

On the other side, Zhixing watched the Seed of Sorrow calm down, and while Mami was struggling, he finally remembered something.

"I'm Conan Edogawa, and I've come from the future to help you defeat Witch Night."

Zhixing looked into Mami's eyes and told her the setting he had written for himself without changing his expression.

Chapter 12: Establishing a “Personality”

"Eh?"

Asami was stunned by the answer that was completely different from what she had guessed.

But Mami did not interrupt Zhixing, but waited for Zhixing's next explanation.

"In about a month, this city will usher in Witch Night."

"You should understand this."

Although Zhixing was preparing to tell his own short essay, he was also very clear.

A person's one-sided statement is always weak.

What I say is what it is, often on the premise that there is some kind of power behind it.

Just like the protection fees collected by gangsters, just like a single person dares to hold the power of life and death in a pigpen, just like a piece of paper and a flag can protect him among thousands of people.

As the party being rescued, they are originally in a weak position.

What's more, I made this up myself.

Then, the only thing that can increase your credibility is information that the other party already agrees with.

Even though Zhihang itself doesn't know what the world is like now, there are still some unchanging points that Zhihang can take advantage of.

"Witch Night?"

Only after hearing this word twice did Asami break free from her thoughts on "the future" and "moral dilemmas."

"Come to think of it, this is a legendary witch, a witch that can only be defeated by the combined efforts of many magical girls."

After briefly recalling the definition of Witch Night, Mami smiled nonchalantly.

"Not to mention that Witch Night has basically never happened. It's just a rumor about how powerful witches are."

"As for witches that require several magical girls to defeat, I'm sorry, but I've already defeated many of them."

As she returned to thinking, Mami remembered the unconcealable human fault that had been chasing her all the way.

Rather than the "future", the current paper lines seem more like something specially arranged by a magical girl.

The purpose is to... lurk beside me?

"Using Witch Night as an excuse, you've chosen the wrong person."

Asami teased with a lighthearted look on her face.

"Seeing how confident you were, I knew my presence was essential."

Zhihang responded in a more relaxed tone, and then without further ado, he got straight to the point.

"As a solitary magical girl, I can manage an entire city by myself, but that's also why."

Zhixing paused, looked into Mami's eyes and continued.

"You sacrificed yourself before the Witch Night arrived, leaving behind little. As a result, the magical girl who replaced you had little strength at all, allowing the Witch Night to feast on Mitakihara, thus starting the disaster that swept the world."

Mami frowned when she heard this, having thought that the "Witch Night" gimmick was a way to trick her into teaming up with the other magical girls.

I didn't expect that based on the other party's words, I was defeated in the daily battle without even seeing the other party's face.

Mami, who had become slightly interested, was about to chime in.

Suddenly, Zhi Xing's expression changed and he turned to look at the Seed of Sorrow.

"Let me finish first!"

"Listen carefully. While there's still time, quickly bring Sayaka Miki and Madoka Kaname, who are a year below you and also at Mitakihara Junior High School, with you. Then... contact Kyoko Sakura and ask her... ha... to come back."

Asami looked at Zhixing, who was about to give a long speech, and gradually became listless, not caring whether this was a trap or not, she put away her gun and leaned in front of Zhixing.

"Finally...stay alert...don't underestimate the witch."

Zhixing managed to finish his words, and before he fell into coma, he sighed inwardly.

I abbreviated too much and accidentally omitted Xiao Hei.

Mami reached out to catch the falling head, and a trace of panic appeared on her face.

"Quppy, come and take a look, what's wrong with him?"

As an expert against witches, Mami has also saved countless survivors from them.

But they often feel dizzy when they are out of control, and then gradually wake up after a while.

But Zhixing was clearly still conscious when the witch was destroyed, but he suddenly became so weak, which is completely different from the sudden blackout after being released from control.

A creature with white fur, long ears and a large tail walked up from behind Mami.

He looked at the paper line, then leaned in to sniff it.

"It's incredible that something like this could happen."

Seeing Kyubey's surprised expression, Mami asked in confusion, "Hey, what happened to Mr. Edogawa? Is he in danger?"

"Don't worry, Asami. That guy was just too hungry all of a sudden. That's why he lost consciousness. He'll recover after he gets some sleep and eats something."

"Hungry? You were fine until now?"

"You saw what that person was doing next to the witch just now, didn't you?"

"Could it be that?!"

"No, that thing is probably part of the magic power of the witch's body, not human."

"Perhaps he had been consuming the witch's magic power for a long time, so when the witches disappeared, the magic power in this person's body had not completely disappeared."

After explaining the state of the paper line, Kyubey turned around and asked curiously.

"He has lost his ability to move on his own now, and this place is already deserted. Plus, he needs to eat after waking up, so we can't just leave him alone like before."

"How, Asami?"

Mami was relieved after hearing Kyubey's explanation. After knowing that there was no danger to Zhixing's life, Mami planned to send Zhixing home.

For a magical girl, going to someone else's house is a piece of cake.

Even if you don't go through the door, you can still go through the window.

So Mami rummaged through the paper shop's pockets, trying to find something like a wallet or a cell phone that could help her find her home.

But it must be said that the Paper Shop was already very poor, and it lost a lot of things while being trapped by the Witch's Kiss.

So when Mami searched her whole body and found a few coins, her face was full of black lines.

Not to mention the already tattered clothes.

Mami had no doubt that if Zhixing was sent to the hospital.

Maybe I have to give away my kidney to pay for the medical expenses so that I can get out of the hospital alive.

The only options left were the police station and Asami's own home.

"The future?"

To be honest, Mami didn't believe that a guy trapped in a witch's barrier could be someone from the future.

Not to mention that Zhixing is an adult male.
