Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"And he was still mumbling about Witch Night. It's obvious his source of information is flawed. It's probably not collected by the organization, but compiled by some individuals. After all, Witch Night is just a famous foreign holiday on April 30th. He's not the only one who's misunderstood the word 'witch'."

After saying that, the grumpy man paused for a moment, then whispered:

"And I don't know why, but I always feel that guy is very unhappy. I feel like he will do something excessive to me. Don't even think about recruiting people like him, You."

Chapter 107 The Fourth Day

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you can hear it now."

"If you hear it, please react. I need your strength."

Zhixing covered his neck and shuddered, watching the movement in the hall through the open door, while looking down at Mami lying in the refrigerator.

"It's really cold! How did Homura become such a tech geek? She taught herself so much that she even managed to modify a refrigerator to the same temperature as a morgue. I hope she won't be frozen and unable to move."

Zhi Xing looked at Mami who had been frozen stiff for a long time and did not dare to act rashly, for fear that if he was not careful, Mami would break apart without magic.

I closed my eyes and felt the witch who was so small that I couldn't see her general appearance. Although I couldn't determine her exact location, she would definitely not be able to come for a while.

Zhixing touched the spot of the witch's kiss on his neck, thought about it, and decided to try it again before moving Mami out. So Zhixing lowered his head again and called out to Mami's head:

"Hey, I don't care if it's Waraya, the Beauty Witch, or even Kyoko's familiar or Sayaka's familiar living in Mami's body. It doesn't matter what. Can you hear me? Give me some reaction. I need your strength. I need to find Kaname Madoka."

Zhixing withdrew his head from the cold refrigerator and carefully observed Mami's body, trying to find changes similar to those in Kamijou before.

But several minutes passed and Asami remained frozen, showing no signs of moving.

"Ah~ failed?"

"I also want to say that you believe my conclusion. When I was touched by the Witch's Kiss, I could communicate with other witches and familiars."

"After all, it's still very difficult to find the two conditions of the Witch's Kiss state and a living body separated from the Soul Gem."

"Is it possible to prove the hypothesis that the magical girl's body is full of familiars? I even classified it as a top secret condition."

Zhixing said some discouraging words in his heart, but his body did not stop there. Instead, he decisively turned off the main power switch, not caring at all whether Xiaoyan might have set up any alarm device or trap here.

After unplugging the power cord, Zhixing looked at Mami who was still in the refrigerator, stood up and returned to the room where he had left Mami.

Even though the power had gone out, it was still a long time before the thaw, so Zhixing returned to the room without taking his phone, which had no internet access and could not see the map, and ignored the unfinished information about the familiars. He put on his original suit again, took out the spare clothes that Xiaoyan had prepared for him from the closet, and went back to carry Mami out.

A tentacle suddenly stretched out from behind Zhixing and touched Zhixing's neck, causing Zhixing to shudder instinctively and retract his neck to clamp the tentacle.

"What~~"

The sound of a female ghost dragging out a long tone in a horror movie was clearly heard by Zhixing.

Zhi Xing looked back along the tentacle that was touching him, and what caught his eye was the hanged figure of Mami, with his head lowered, as if the curvature of his spine did not exist, but due to the constraints of his body, his head was firmly caught by his chest, floating in the air.

And the tentacle that was touching her extended all the way to Mami's back.

Zhi Xing took a look and said nothing more, not even a hint of curiosity about Mami's situation, and then he said:

"I need the address of Kaname Madoka's house. If you know it, take me there. If you don't know..."

"Okay~~"

Mami didn't wait too long, but extended two yellow tentacles from behind again, grabbing Zhixing's legs respectively, and the tentacles that originally touched the neck also wrapped around Zhixing's neck.

Then, driven by the two tentacles fixed to the wall behind Mami, they carried Zhixing and Mami's body and crashed out of the window of Homura's house, then climbed onto the rooftop, and then walked forward in a certain direction, using the tentacles as feet, step by step.

"Doctor Octopus?"

Zhixing carefully touched the tentacle wrapped around his neck with his hand. Based on the feel, he could roughly determine that its main body was still Mami's ribbon, with a gap in the middle, and it was not a complete tentacle.

"Kamihama's transformation into a witch? No, that would require the Soul Stone to achieve."

"A familiar within the magical girl's body? Impossible. That kind of familiar should be so insignificant that its impact on reality is minimal. At most, it could only keep the heart beating normally. Just now, it smashed a hole through the window. If there really was such power remaining, Kyoko wouldn't have been able to miss it when she used her magic to take care of Sayaka."

"And..." Zhi Xing was held up behind him by three ribbon tentacles, looking at Mami, who looked like a headless corpse from behind. His eyes narrowed slightly, sizing up Mami's undamaged school uniform. "He should have lost his mind, and he can't even speak, but he knows to go through the window and pass by the rooftop when he comes out, and he can even extend his tentacles according to the distance between floors."

"More importantly, these tentacles will protect Mami's body. They clearly just smashed the window and glass, but from the back, there is no trace of glass scratches on her."

"Is it the Beauty Witch, or her familiar, or... Witch Night, who controls these tentacles?"

Zhixing was thinking about something in his heart, but as Mami moved forward, his gaze gradually changed from staring at Mami to being alert to his surroundings, guarding against Xiaoyan's approach at any time.

Under Mami's brisk leadership, soon a slightly familiar terrain appeared in front of Zhixing, and Mami stopped.

The villa area covers a vast area, with a sunny avenue leading directly to the subway entrance. The land is flat and the houses are well-maintained. There are lawns, fountains, and fruit trees scattered around.

"So it's this way?"

Xiaoyuan's family of three lives in a two-story detached villa with a backyard where they can grow cherry tomatoes. There are also many smart decorations inside the villa, so it should be easy to find.

However, I don’t know if it’s because the population is covering up the heart of the city, so they are gradually moving closer to the city center, making the houses in the city center uniquely tall, while there are many abandoned buildings on the edge of the city.

For this reason, there are many such villa areas with large areas in some areas near the edge, and the map here cannot be converted from a bird's-eye view into a 3D model. Therefore, during the time at Mami's house, although Zhixing studied the map, he did not gain anything.

Zhi Xing saw Mami stop and then look around. He immediately knew that Mami was not coming to Xiao Yuan's house, but it was likely that she had heard about it from Sayaka. So he patted the tentacles wrapped around his neck and said softly:

"That's enough for here. Let me go. It's not convenient for you to get involved in the rest of the journey."

Mami stopped shaking, and did not turn to the front. Instead, she obediently extended the paper line from the roof to the ground, then released the tentacles on her feet and neck, and retracted back to the roof and disappeared.

Looking at the rooftop that had disappeared and remained motionless, Zhi Xing withdrew his gaze, surveyed the surroundings, and muttered to himself:

"Kaname Madoka ( ), the one who runs a big D, um, I still remember what it looked like. It seems that families here also put their names on the outside, so it's not impossible to find it yourself."

Zhixing looked around, then took out a coin from his pocket and left it on the ground to determine his initial position. Then he turned to the left, looking at the courtyard, the appearance of the house, and the house number, while moving forward slowly.

The moment she sent Zhixing downstairs and out of sight, Mami stopped observing the surrounding buildings and instead stood still with a clear gaze in a certain direction.

Not until the tentacles of the paper delivery company were retracted and directly retracted into the body did Mami change from the suspended state to a standing position with her feet on the ground.

Asami slowly raised her hands, grabbed her head, and slowly lifted it upwards.

"Ah~Oh~Ah~"

As her neck straightened, the thing that was originally stuck in her neck was pulled out of Mami's body by the ribbon.

Mami gasped like a normal person and opened her eyes weakly. She looked at the Soul Gem hanging by a ribbon and the cloudy luster on the gem. Mami couldn't help but think of Sayaka who had turned into a witch.

"Really? It's just a disguise, why does it become dirty?"

Just as a Saint Seiya will not be defeated by the same move twice.

Mami's fighting talent is relatively high, and her magical attainments are difficult for others to imitate.

Therefore, after experiencing the weakness of losing magic power, and the fact that the Soul Gem is both a weakness and a life.

Mami secretly used a ribbon to forge a soul gem in her body, and used up the remaining number of Seeds of Sorrow in her hand, and transferred part of the magic power to this forged soul gem for storage.

In order to prevent the soul gem in his body from distracting his attention, he even tied a physical knot instead of a magical lock.

Originally, Mami thought that even if the Soul Gem outside was attacked by Homura's magic again, she could pretend to lose consciousness and then fight back.

But Mami still underestimated the most important word "soul" in the Soul Gem. As a result, with the cooperation of Anzu and Homura, and Mami pretending to have just used a big move and was a little exhausted, the Soul Gem was lost and knocked away.

Asami didn't get the chance to launch a surprise attack, but was actually arrested.

But after an unknown amount of time, Mami, who seemed to have lost consciousness, heard Zhixing's call.

The only remaining consciousness instinctively began to use the soul gem hidden in his body, gradually distributing it throughout the body in the form of smaller invisible ribbons. After realizing that this would not allow the body to move, it gathered together to form several tentacles, extending from the body to support the movement of Mami's body.

But maybe it was because the souls contained in the magic were too rare, although Mami had a complete brain and could recall the memories she knew, she didn't have any thoughts about it. It was as if she had just been awakened and felt dizzy. She couldn't distinguish the surrounding environment at all. She just heard Zhixing's request by instinct, and then found the patrol route that Sayaka had specially modified, and brought Zhixing here.

Now that Zhixing had left, in an environment where the sky was high and birds could fly freely, Mami held her fake soul gem in her hand, looking at the magic power that was far beyond her expectations and was completely insufficient to resist the witch. A hint of expression appeared in her eyes that had originally been calm.

"I need the real Soul Stone. Otherwise, I can't defeat the witch."

Mami closed her eyes and imitated Zhi Xing. In the darkness, she saw a bright fire in the dark forest (perceived by ordinary people) in the direction opposite her.

Asami lifted her foot and slowly, but at a speed much faster than a bicycle, she moved towards the roof over there.

"This villa area is so short, is it deeper inside?"

The paper shop walked to the end of the left side, then returned to the starting point and walked to the end of the right side, but the paper shop could not find Xiaoyuan's house, let alone a similar surname.

Zhixing walked towards the deeper buildings with a mysterious sense of direction as he was unfamiliar with the place, and then completely forgot the direction he came from.

The street lights came on.

Zhixing sat on a bench in a small park, looked up at the sky, and tried to see the stars of the Big Dipper in the night to determine where he was.

Then he closed his eyes again and looked at the witch who had stopped moving towards this side at some point.

Even under the influence of the Witch's Kiss, Zhi Xing couldn't help but hug his legs and sighed deeply for himself.

"I put on this outfit just to see Madoka, so why did my ending have to go back to the beginning?"

Zhixing touched the remaining living expenses in his pocket from Mami, and felt like crying but had no tears.

The villa area was originally close to the edge, and the paper company was moving towards the depths of the villa area.

As a result, I couldn't see the police station, buses, subways, or convenience stores, for example.

There are only roads for vehicles to travel.

So in the villa area with doors on both sides, which looked like the front, Zhixing got lost. As he felt hungry, he could no longer walk, so he found a seat in this small leisure area and rested.

"Alas~ Why is this happening again? If you fall asleep in the state of the witch's kiss, won't you be preyed upon by the witch the moment you open your eyes tomorrow without even knowing it?"

Zhixing felt the sounds of fighting coming from his eyes, and in a state of blurred consciousness and incoherent speech, he curled up on the bench, under the light of the street lamp, resisting the cold night wind, and fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 108 A Dream About Madoka Magica

"Wake up, wake up, cheer up, I'm going to start speaking."

"Do you still remember where you are? Do you still remember that you are in the world of Puella Magi Madoka Magica?"

"You are currently approaching the final days of Witch Night. To prevent accidental interruptions, let me first explain the encryption method."

"Just think about this idealism, understand? The key is not what the words are written, but what the writer wants to express."

"Even if the parties involved don't understand something, as long as there is a cause and effect, it's enough. The key is that with the cause and effect of the information from the paper line that Homura passed on, we can translate this information."

"It doesn't matter what language or words the carrier is. The ability to make wishes will help translate the information across parallel universes."

"This is an absolute encryption method that cannot be broken except by a greater miracle. After all, it's not as widely distributed as Madoka's. I used Madoka's karma to make a wish for myself alone, so Kyubey can only block the transmission channel, but cannot decipher the specific content. The same goes for Homura."

"If you haven't been interrupted yet, I'll say a few more words."

"This wish cannot be replaced. Even if it is lost along the way, it must be retrieved. Only in this way can the memory in my brain be encrypted into information that cannot be deciphered."

"Otherwise, no matter how confidential the text is, if Kyubey or the girl reads their minds, everything will be exposed in an instant."

"Although the specific mechanism is still unclear, being able to directly affect my past self, who didn't have the ability to translate, is likely something that only Madoka in the final game can do. It transcends time and space, encrypting the me in the Madoka Magica universe."

"As for why this is happening, I haven't figured it out yet, because I don't have the time. If Homura's wish was the first part of the game, I should be the sixth. However, I don't know enough about the world's settings, especially the technology of wishing. I don't have enough time to use it, and I don't have enough time to explore it."

"But one thing is clear: there are only two beings who can convey information."

"One is Homura, the initiator of the cycle of reincarnation, and the other is Witch Night, whose causal relationship is so vast that it can connect to other parallel universes."

"Madoka, with her untapped talent, can also grasp the information from the previous episode through dreams."

"Then Witch Night, who was able to continuously destroy Mitakihara and devour enough lives, although her combat power was not as high as her intelligence, so her performance was not good, but her total amount of cause and effect was unmatched by anyone except Madoka."

"So, please, future Paper Line, gather this information together. When Witch Night arrives, find the reason why you made your wish and came here."

"Is it possible that this world is just a bug caused by adding magical girls and witches? The so-called two-dimensional world cannot be limited to the settings in anime and only develop to this level of the near future."

"Since magic has influenced humanity since the beginning of history, this world should have developed into other forms of civilization."

"Of course there will be bugs. This kind of anime is set in an urban setting to enhance the sense of immersion, and when it is turned into a live-action version, it still maintains this setting.

"There has to be some way to break the situation, so please, come on."

Zhixing slowly opened his eyes and looked at the early morning sun, which was not too glaring.

Without making a sound, nor turning over and sitting up, he closed his eyes again, trying to return to the dream he had just had.

After a while, Zhixing fumbled in his pockets but couldn't find the notebook. He sighed and pushed himself up from the bench.

"Anxious dreams? Kyubey's temptation? The enchantment of the witch's kiss?"

Zhi Xing whispered tentatively. After a while, when he heard no other movement, he closed his eyes and observed the witch's position again.

"It's been a whole night, and we've only advanced so far? Do witches also need to sleep and rest?"

Looking at the not-so-big outline of the witch, although Zhixing didn't know the exact distance, he could still judge that the other party was not too close, and might not even have entered the town of Mitakihara.

Zhi Xing raised his hand and covered the spot on his neck where the Witch's Kiss usually stayed. He looked around at the villas which were still deserted, stood up, and left the rest area.

"If there's anything different about me than before, it must be because I fell asleep in the state of Witch's Kiss."
