Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

After listening to this, Zhixing tried hard to think and digest the content under Xingzi's gaze. However, although this information shows Kyubey's crushing of human civilization and the irresistible despair, what does this have to do with Zhixing?

Is it about the entire civilization being exiled to another dimension?

The paper links it to the previous Witch Night barrier. There is indeed a speculation that the entire earth is shaped into a soul gem by a barrier. The Cosmic Witch will wander around the barrier outside, and will continue to live in the Witch Night inside. Even if it is repelled and destroyed, it will not produce the Seed of Sorrow, just like an elite familiar in the Witch Barrier.

If Madoka's cause and effect are enough, and Kyubey has completed the energy indicator, and does not care about the life and death of mankind, and allows Witch Night to destroy the entire civilization, then he does have reason to feel despair, and will have to push the reincarnation cycle forward to the level of the TV ending.

But according to Homura, it's only been a year, just a dozen or so rounds, which is 10 times short of the planned 100-round cycle. Furthermore, it's hard to say whether the cumulative effect will double. After all, if it's really the cause and effect of a hundred people, with so many cities around the world, it would probably only take a few months to reach the target.

Madoka's talent is not high. Even after a hundred years here, Kyubey may not have collected enough energy. Then Witch Night will only destroy Mitakihara, and to the extent that everyone in the shelter can survive.

Although the paper industry was anxious, the pressure was far from enough to make it despair again. After all, it had experienced this before.

"Isn't it time yet?"

Zhixing was thinking nervously under Xingzi's gaze, and found that the ending did not bring despair. He couldn't help but suspect that this was despair information left for himself in the higher levels of the game, and it was too early for him to read it now.

"Edogawa, Conan, you, can't you feel it?"

Xingzi had noticed that the voice broadcast had stopped. Considering that Zhixing had shown despair after digesting and thinking before, she waited a little longer on purpose. However, let alone the Witch's Kiss, there was no sign that Zhixing was in a state of despair.

Looking into Zhixing's eyes, the last time when Zhixing fell into despair emerged in his mind. He didn't dare to touch Zhixing like before, for fear that a familiar barrier without a familiar would appear and trap him.

"Don't be impatient, wait, I'm thinking, wait...wait a little longer."

Zhixing declined, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether this information was a reminder to him that he might not be able to rely on the information and fall into despair, thus becoming a complete useless person?

"Wait? I don't have that much time to spend with an ordinary person like you. 10 minutes, I'll only give you 10 minutes. If the time is up and you're still like this, I will no longer participate in the cooperation of finding the witch based on you."

Xingzi was very unhappy. Because of what happened last time, she had deliberately made an exchange so that she could act alone and contact Zhixing without interference. However, when she was concentrating on watching the formation process of the Witch's Kiss, Zhixing suddenly failed.

Taking out a stack of potato chips and biting into them hard, Xingzi walked to the back of the paper line and watched closely the changes in her neck.

Although Zhixing was puzzled as to why Xingzi suddenly became nervous when he was the one who suggested looking at the information, he also wanted to know if he could despair again, so he temporarily suppressed his doubts, took a breath, chose to listen again, and then closed his eyes to carefully analyze it.

Stacking wishes of the same type? It's useless. The girl doesn't have that many.

Is it possible for a Kyubey to have feelings? No, there is no way to ask for help. The other party is already in a difficult situation, so they throw the conflict to me.

Is there anything else you haven't noticed?

Zhixing listened carefully to the second reading. After eliminating most of the information, something that he had previously overlooked entered Zhixing's thinking.

The end of Kyubey's era of rationality, the ending of the movie, Kyubey is very satisfying.

Thinking of the movie version, Zhixing suddenly discovered a blind spot that he had never noticed.

Since we are talking about duration, how can there be no end?

The sanity that Kyubey tried so hard to maintain was finally broken by Homura in the movie, and along with it, Madoka's transformation into a witch, which she sacrificed herself to prevent, was also broken, and she reappeared in the world.

So, Madoka's wish couldn't escape the correction brought about by the distortion, and was therefore ended?

If that's the case, the rebellion led by Homura is actually a good thing, at least it won't be Kyubey who breaks it.

It seems that Homura herself knew that wishes were destined to be short-lived, so she rejected the Circle Theory's solicitation and went out on her own.

Alas, even though he had already defeated the Space Witch brought about by the distortion, he was still trapped by Homura. It turned out that because the target was Homura, he didn't intend to use violence, even though this good friend was using the wrong method to allow the witch to reappear in the world.

Would Kaname Madoka agree to appear as a witch, even if her friends tried to stop her?

It seems so, that's why he planned to enter the barrier in the movie, seal himself up, and experience life.

I guess she has already thoroughly studied witchification, so she no longer has any resistance to it.

Since there was no logical problem, just when Zhixing thought that it was another failed deduction, Zhixing heard that the group of psychopaths in Qipi had escaped the influence of rational desires because of their extraordinary cause and effect.

Zhixing was stunned, and a concept that was not mentioned in the information emerged in his mind.

The compulsion of desire!

With the superposition of multiple wishes, Kyubey can forcibly suppress most of the Kyubeys who could have realized their wishes, which means that the amount of cause and effect should not be consumed due to comparison. Otherwise, how many people must be needed to make rational wishes come true under a causal comparison of more than 1:1 million?

A wish consumes the karma of the wisher, which means that the wisher has no way to resist the wish he or she has made.

In fact, Madoka was unable to resist the compulsion of making a wish and was forced to leave the circle.

"what?"

Zhixing reacted and realized that after making a wish, how could Madoka, whose causal energy was close to zero, resist the compulsion of the wish? How could she rely on her own thoughts to prevent the wish from taking effect, thus allowing the plot of the movie to last for more than a month?

Unless it wasn't Madoka anymore.

Zhi Xing recalled that even before he traveled through time, he had been unimpressed by the so-called Circle God, defining it as the Principle of the Circle, to separate it from Madoka. Even then, he had already begun to think in this regard.

And now, Zhixing's brain worked for a while, confirmed his judgment, and then turned his eyes to the future.

On the night the witch was defeated, Homura stopped reincarnating. She lost the chance to regret and died young, and Madoka could not escape the fate of making a wish.

If Witch Night is not defeated, Homura's reincarnation will continue, but Madoka's complete death is ultimately required. The fake Madoka is used to bring Homura a little hope, leading to the rebellious movie.

The Principle of Circles has Madoka's memories when she was still human, so for Homura, it shouldn't make any difference. As long as she ignores the news of the original, clones and such should be acceptable.

The corners of Zhixing's mouth began to twitch, and the image involuntarily emerged in his mind: after the TV ending, when he also lost his witch memory, and he told this possibility to Xiaoyan without any preparation, Xiaoyan's expression after she lost hope.

The hopeless situation quickly empathized with Zhixing, causing Xingzi, who had been keeping an eye on Zhixing, to smile at Zhixing's desperate expression.

ps: Logic game, start from the wishing circle, look at the black line clockwise, and then follow the red line.

Identify any unreasonable inferences or offer alternative viewpoints that could change the conclusion.

Chapter 89 Magical Girl's Weapon

A red light covered her whole body, and the magical girl Anzi made a grand appearance at the train waiting area.

Although she transformed, she did not emit any light, so no one noticed what was happening to Anzi.

Xingzi walked forward and came behind Zhixing. The hand without a weapon stretched out to Zhixing's neck, and a transparent red magic power surrounded Zhixing's neck.

"Let me see what's wrong with you."

Under the all-round coverage of magic, as Zhi Xing felt more and more despair, the magic barrier finally began to ripple.

Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, Xingzi noticed the change, but did not act immediately. Instead, she waited until the invisible force reached Zhixing's neck and the Witch's Kiss emerged before she clenched her hands, concentrating her magic power on the abnormal place and cutting off the power that transmitted the Witch's Kiss.

"Here, I still can't sense anything."

Xingzi took out the Soul Gem and examined it in the direction of the power transmission. After confirming that the Soul Gem had not changed, she couldn't help but sigh.

Anzi glanced at the paper and made sure that she had followed the method that Homura Akemi had said and offset the magic of the Witch's Kiss with the magic of the magical girl. Then she stomped her feet and jumped directly onto the roof of the tram. Then she looked in the direction where the power came from and disappeared into the night.

Zhixing sat there in a daze, not distracted by Xingzi's actions at all. Instead, his mind was filled with scenes of the abuse of Yan.

There was no need for the induction of the witch's kiss. Various scenes of girls expressing pain emerged in my mind one by one, some of which were shown in the original plot, some in fan works, some in the realm of Yuan Shen, and even some that I made up in my own imagination.

The Witch's Kiss, which had been dimmed by Xingzi's magic, gradually regained its vitality shortly after Xingzi left.

Zhi Xing slowly lowered his head, then held his head with his hands, limiting his vision to himself.

"There's no such thing as a happy ending as long as magical girls remain that way."

"But besides Madoka, no one else has the ability to change this setting, unless they create their own territory and rely on the sacrifices of generations of magical girls to build a territory with their own rules."

"But that kind of thing is meaningless. If the Five Colors Team can't do it at this time, it's just for their own survival. But can they really survive?"

"Let's not even talk about whether all the magical girls will be able to eliminate the threats posed by familiars and witches like Mami. After Madoka signs the contract, how many days are left? How far is Kyubey from reaching his target?"

"Could it be that they are going to destroy Kaname Madoka, like the Prophecy Cult, even at the cost of their own lives, in order to prolong the life of human civilization?"

"Although I am indeed tired of the days without new things to stimulate, and I fantasize about going to another world or something, I don't want to sacrifice myself specifically. And if I have to sacrifice Madoka, then it's better to do it at the end."

Kyubey was listening to Zhixing's mumbling on the other side of the tram platform. When he saw Zhixing's words interrupted, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhixing.

I saw Zhixing take one hand off his head and cover his mouth with it, and his eyes no longer looked confused.

After looking at the Witch's Kiss that still existed, Kyubey checked Zhixing's heart rate and found that both physiologically and magically, Zhixing should be in a state of uncontrollable emotional outburst.

But Zhixing gradually calmed down, his heart rate began to return to normal, and his body no longer trembled slightly. Finally, he put down the hand covering his mouth, slowly raised his head, and said in a firm tone:

"I have to meet Madoka first, and then I can make a choice."

Zhixing promised himself, and then, as if escaping from reality, he stood up and waited at the tram stop like nothing had happened, quietly waiting for the tram to arrive.

Kyubey blinked and confirmed that there were no magical girls nearby before they all stood up and turned to leave.

Zhixing boarded the return train. He neither looked at his phone nor tried to observe the witch's situation. Instead, he went home from get off work like a normal person, except that he didn't play with his phone.

After returning to Xiaoyan's house, Zhixing did not go to see if Xiaoyan had returned. Instead, he opened the door of his room, walked straight to the bed, and fell asleep without changing anything.

“2012年6月9日土曜日（周六）11：45”

Hearing the alarm sound coming from the phone, Zhixing did not respond.

Because I went to bed early yesterday, which was rare, I woke up at around 7 o'clock. I just stared at the ceiling without looking at my phone. I just lay in bed without thinking about anything, without moving at all except breathing and blinking.

The door opened and Homura walked to the bedside. Looking at Zhi Xing, who hadn't noticed her presence, she sighed.

"I've given you a whole morning to adjust. Now it's time to get up. I won't let you out of my sight for the next two days of the weekend."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, she threw away the quilt and pulled up the paper.

As his body was forced to move, Zhi Xing regained consciousness and looked at Xiao Yan. He asked in a sleepy tone:

"Hmm? Homura? What are you doing this weekend? Any experiments to do?"

Seeing Zhixing's expression, Homura responded as if she was not surprised at all:

"Everything we can directly access has basically been tested, except for those that we don't have the conditions to verify. It depends on whether you have any new ideas. If not, come with me to prepare the battlefield layout."

"I..."

"You've done what you can, so don't worry about the outcome of the upcoming Witch Night battle. Just don't cause any more trouble. Now get up and eat."

After saying a few words of comfort, Xiaoyan turned and walked out of the room, leaving Zhixing on the bed in silence for a while before taking out her cell phone to turn off the alarm set for the weekend, then got out of bed and went to the dining table.

Zhixing looked at the various fried foods and some desserts and cakes on the dining table, but he couldn't feel happy at all.

After hurriedly eating most of the lunch, Zhixing, led by Xiaoyan, came to an abandoned building in the suburbs.

As she transformed, Homura took out a large number of boxes from her shield and gave them to Shigenori to take care of the lower two floors, while she took care of the upper 28 floors.

Zhixing silently moved the bricks and worked for a long time. Before Xiaoyan came back, he had placed the box bombs on both floors.

After Homura enchanted the building's door and locked it to prevent anyone from entering, Kazuyuki was able to drag his tired body and Homura home.

"So, do you have any good ideas or things you want to verify now?"

Sitting in the living room of her house, Homura asked Zhi Xing.

"Nothing. I haven't finished reading the information yet. Maybe it's repeated."

"It's the last weekend before Witch Night. If you need any help, I'm probably only free now."

In response to Kazuki's performance, Homura was not surprised. After all, there were familiars, witches, magical girls, ordinary people, Kyubey, and Witch Night.

There are only so many things we can access, and the things that need to be verified repeatedly are not as many as we imagine.

"Then your task now is to finish reading the first part of the document in the remaining time today. You should be able to come up with some new ideas tomorrow."

After confirming Zhixing's situation, Xiaoyan went back to the house, leaving Zhixing alone in the hall for a while before reluctantly walking back to the room.

I took out the materials that I had marked a lot. Although I knew I had to read them all today, I still didn't look at the conclusion of the investigation on the characteristics of familiars---8 in order. Instead, I thought about Xiaoyan's performance this afternoon and looked at the basic abilities of magical girls below---25.

Zhixing opened his phone, raised his head and took a few deep breaths before playing the audio file:

"The transformation of a girl into a magical girl is a huge undertaking. Not only does it significantly increase her strength, speed, stamina, and resilience, which no equipment can test, but it also grants her the ability to manipulate magic, combat instincts far stronger than a soldier's, and a body that is not afraid of injury after being transformed."

"Even if an ordinary person faces a normal magical girl, they have no chance of winning. Fighting skills, trained strength, and even sniper rifle assassinations can be reacted to by an ordinary girl in her normal state. Unless you use the tactic of depleting magic power or simply covering them with firepower, the only magical girls in the city can really deal with them."

"Because ordinary people's guns are ineffective against magical girls, another question arises."

"Why are magical girl weapons either melee or pure magical bows and arrows? Even Mami's gun is made of plastic ribbons. We're in the modern world, so why aren't there guns that are noticeably faster than bows?"

"With doubts, I consulted Homura, who could only use a shield to stop time and then fight with other ordinary people's guns and explosives."

"Homura stated that although mana can still enchant inanimate objects, it can still harm familiars or witches."

"But this damage is very limited. Even if I'm using an ordinary firearm, I still need to concentrate the power on the same spot while enchanting the bullets. I have to shoot countless bullets at the same spot before I can penetrate the witch's body and defeat her. The efficiency is completely inferior to that of an enchanted weapon."

"As for summoning a shield and using it as a flying disc to attack, Homura is also powerless. Just like Madoka Magica's bow after transforming into a magical girl, there is only one shield from beginning to end. Once it leaves the body, it will be impossible to maintain time."

"Although I suggest using magic power to create one based on other magical girls' weapons, the reality is that magic power can only be transformed into a corresponding shape, and cannot be condensed into a weapon that can be held in the hand."

"After interviewing Blue Hair and Apricot, they both stated that weapons are created simply by inputting mana when they desire them, and they have no idea how they are formed."

"Both of them tried to conjure each other's weapons, but it turned out to be impossible."

"After an interview with Mami, the only one who changed her weapon, she revealed that her magic was actually used to create ribbons from scratch. Her current firearms were the result of Mami's own hard work and adaptation, which allowed her to quickly transform the ribbons into the firearms she uses."
