Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

"But I'm here just to get the answer, so if it were up to me, I'd only choose a human face."

"No matter what the cost, I want to understand and help Sayaka-chan. Now, the only person I can contact who might know the truth is you, so please, tell me the truth."

Xiaoyuan lowered her head and demonstrated the Japanese request process to the paper company.

"Don't do this. If Homura knew about this, she would kill me."

Zhi Xing sighed, moved out of the direction facing Xiao Yuan, and said helplessly:

"I understand. I'll tell you. Is that okay?"

"real!"

Xiaoyuan raised her head with a look of joy on her face.

"Well, I can tell you. Then, let's pick a place that's suitable for telling the story."

Looking at Xiaoyuan's happy expression, Zhixing subconsciously touched his neck, as if he could imagine the other person's expression after learning the truth.

"Then please follow me. I know a convenient place for us to talk."

Xiaoyuan led the way in front with an impatient look on her face, and looked back from time to time to check if the paper shop had fallen behind.

Then he walked into the mall and skillfully came to a restaurant.

Although I couldn't understand the name of the paper shop, I could still see the hamburgers and milk tea on the tables of the people around me, and for a moment I couldn't tell what kind of shop it was.

Xiaoyuan ordered two cups of milk tea and got them quickly without having to wait. Then she went to a familiar corner to get the paper.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Kaname Madoka, but you can just call me Madoka. You've called me that a few times before, so it's okay. What's your name?"

"Just call me Conan, Edogawa Conan. Even though you said you trust me, the name is just a code name, so just call me by that code name."

Zhixing introduced himself and couldn't help but explain a little more.

"I understand. Then, Conan-kun, can you..."

"Don't add 'brother', it sounds weird, just call him Conan, Conan."

"Well, can you tell me about Sayaka, Conan?"

"Okay, what do you want to know?"

"Well... first of all, where is Sayaka now, does Conan know?"

Although they ordered two cups of milk tea, both of them just held them in their hands to occupy the seats, and no one spoke.

"If there were no heaven and hell, Sayaka would no longer exist."

"No, is it some metaphor or something, like changing the name, or something else." Xiaoyuan no longer had the expression she had before, and she became calm.

"I can't say I'm dead, at least not completely. But I'm no longer the person who goes to school, who likes Kamijou, or who goes to a music store to choose music."

"Well, if you tell the police Sayaka's location."

"Well, maybe I wasn't accurate enough. Let's put it this way, the amount of things that can be called Sayaka has gone from dozens of kilograms to 20 grams."

"Was it the local gangsters who did it?"

"Huh? What does this have to do with the mafia?"

"Then, is it a gang of thugs?"

"I have a feeling you might be mistaking it for something else. Perhaps my explanation is a bit too abstract. Honestly, I don't completely think it's death, even though it has nothing to do with daily life."

"How did Conan know this? Was Conan also there when Sayaka-chan got into trouble?"

"Of course I was there, and I wanted to prevent the tragedy from happening."

Zhixing recalled and added:

"The situation was a bit sudden, so I didn't react in time. So Sayaka's body seems to have not been preserved. Otherwise, a funeral should have been held yesterday."

Sayaka's body was thrown aside by Asami's ribbon.

Originally, I should have brought the corpse into contact with the human before the mermaid witch disappeared and the barrier dissipated, thus returning to reality.

But the battle with Homura involved was still too time-sensitive.

Asami didn't seem to be distracted to take care of Sayaka's body, or maybe she thought Sayaka would appear directly like a normal person. In short, no one cared about Sayaka, so with the disappearance of the barrier, Sayaka's body, like Kazuhiro's old mobile phone, disappeared in the witch's barrier.

"Sayaka-chan seemed a little tired the day before yesterday, but she didn't show any signs of distress. So why is it..."

Xiaoyuan's hand holding the milk tea was shaking a little, and Zhixing asked curiously:

"So how did Sayaka react to Kamijou the day before yesterday?"

"The day before yesterday? Well, Kamijou-kun didn't come to school the day before yesterday and yesterday, but he returned today. I heard that he ran away from home and was found by his family, so he didn't go to school yesterday to find out what happened."

"Although Sayaka's situation is very similar to Kamijou-kun's the day before yesterday, the timing is too coincidental. After Kamijou disappeared, Sayaka went to look for him. Kamijou was later found, but Sayaka-chan disappeared."

"Two days have passed. To be honest, I also guessed that something irreversible might have happened to Sayaka-chan, but I thought, if there is still a chance, as long as she is still alive..."

"Stop! Stop! I think I know what you've misunderstood. It's not like that. It's not that serious. It's not a metaphor. It's a real corpse, so don't think about it that way."

Zhi Xing interrupted Xiao Yuan's story and explained helplessly:

"I don't know if your mother has told you this, so I'll explain it later."

"Sayaka made a deal that could be called a sacrifice, sacrificing herself for a few months to live in exchange for Kamijou's arm being restored."

"And Sayaka decided to use her only life to protect the people in this city, and fought a life-and-death battle."

"An accident happened the day before yesterday. Uh, it felt like a coincidence, but anyway, Sayaka died before she even lived out her lifespan. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be the next person to be sacrificed."

"Sacrifice? Is that how magic can appear?"

"Ah? You...what did Kaname Shunko say to you?"

"Mom didn't tell me about Sayaka, but she did tell me that there's a cult using magic as bait that's been appearing here lately. She told me to be careful and not to get in touch with these people."

"Well, it's not wrong to do so."

Zhixing scratched his head. He had originally planned to ask Xiaoyuan's mother to tell Xiaoyuan everything, but he didn't expect that in the end it would just be an anti-cult propaganda.

Xiaoyuan looked at the milk tea and thought for a while, then looked at Zhixing and asked:

"Sayaka-chan, have you felt happy during these last few days?"

"It's hard to say. I seemed to be enjoying it for the first week, but my interest has faded in the last week. I've been caring about Kamijou more than anyone else."

"So, how much does Conan know about Kamijou-kun's disappearance?"

"You've basically understood everything, right? I was the one who took Kamijou to the police station in the end. It shouldn't have much to do with Sayaka...right?"

After hearing Zhixing's answer, Xiaoyuan fell into deep thought for a moment.

Seeing that Xiaoyuan didn't say anything, Zhixing didn't speak either. Instead, he inserted a straw and drank while looking at Xiaoyuan's expression, which didn't show too much sadness.

Only then did he realize in his heart that the girl in front of him was Madoka. After all, if other people who didn't know the truth heard these words, they would either not believe it or would have to refresh their worldview. It would be impossible for them to show the calmness that only Madoka could show.

Although there is no such crying emotion as when Tieji hugged Sayaka in the TV plot, there is still the calmness when he participated in Sayaka's funeral after knowing the truth.

"Hmm? Know the truth?"

Zhixing was startled and choked. He couldn't help coughing a few times. When he opened his mouth to say something, Xiaoyuan seemed to be awakened by the cough and came back to his senses and said:

"Thank you, Conan-kun, for explaining what happened. Although you didn't explain what happened specifically, you probably didn't want to involve me."

"But, the next person to be sacrificed is me. Conan should have known about this for a month."

"So, what does Conan want me to trade?"

Chapter 110: Madoka's Public Information

"Pause, cough, let me, cough, slow down for a moment!"

Freed from the deadly crisis brought by milk tea, Zhixing gasped for breath.

Just now, because of a sudden start, milk tea flowed into my trachea. Normally, my body would cough instinctively to expel the foreign object.

But until Zhixing clearly felt uncomfortable and started coughing, he did not show the expected instinctive reaction.

It’s like when the god of death comes, you can’t escape even if you drink water.

"Ha~cough cough, ha~"

Zhihang supported himself on the table with his right hand and started coughing dryly to the left.

"Are you okay? How are you? I'll go call the front desk."

Seeing that something was wrong with Zhixing's condition, Xiaoyuan immediately stood up and turned to leave.

"No need, ha~ cough cough, I'm fine, I'll be fine in a while."

"Is there some terminal illness? Or something else that's worrying you?"

"It's not that exaggerated. I probably know the reason." Zhixing waved his hand, then put his hand on his neck. Although he was still breathing heavily, he no longer coughed.

"Is it because of the Witch's Kiss?"

Xiaoyuan looked at Zhixing's actions and couldn't help but ask.

"What? You know a lot. I didn't tell Ms. Kaname about this."

Zhixing said, releasing his hand that was covering his neck, and said to Xiaoyuan:

"Do you have a mirror? A cell phone would be fine too."

"Yes, here you go!" Xiaoyuan took out a small pink flip-top mirror from her schoolbag and handed it over.

"Oh, I should have done this earlier. I'm so stupid." Zhixing took the mirror, opened it, pointed it at his neck, and easily found the location of the Witch's Kiss.

"You can see it, try clapping your hands in time with its movement."

"That...I can't see it clearly."

"Isn't it quite obvious? I think you should be able to see it from this distance. Is this okay?"

Zhixing tilted his head, exposing the side of his neck with the witch's kiss to the shop light.

"Well...how should I describe it? It's green on the outside, and inside is a circle-like pattern, and inside is..."

Madoka was a little embarrassed and tried her best to describe the corresponding pictures of the Witch's Kiss on the paper. Although they all matched one by one, the paper did not look away from the mirror to look at Madoka.

"Could it be that, in your field of vision, the Witch's Kiss won't move?"

"Sorry, I can only see a pattern on Conan's neck like a tattoo, but I don't see it moved at all."

Zhi Xing frowned, pulled the mirror to the closest distance allowed by this angle, and carefully observed the Witch's Kiss.

"Is the black substance next to it moving? Is it filth? But witches shouldn't have filth, right? Could it be mine?"

Zhixing muttered some pure speculation, leaving Xiaoyuan hanging there for a moment.

"...Conan-kun? Conan? Hey...."

"Ah? Ah!"

The paper line shook for a while before it came back to its senses from its previous thoughts. It looked at Xiaoyuan who had woken it up with a confused look on its face.

"Great, you finally woke up."

Seeing Zhixing come to his senses, Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then realized something was wrong and quickly pulled her hand back and said:

"Just now I saw that you couldn't wake up no matter what you did, and you also had the Witch's Kiss, so I thought you might have been led astray by the Witch's Kiss, so that's why you took action."

Zhixing frowned, looking at the mirror in his hand and the current environment. He remembered that he was talking to Xiaoyuan. Why did he just start thinking for himself because of this witch's kiss? He didn't have the ability to think without paying attention to his surroundings.

"What was I thinking just now? Forget it, let's leave it at that for now, thank you."

Zhixing closed the mirror and handed it back to Xiaoyuan. Although he could vaguely remember that he was thinking about the Witch's Kiss, after being suddenly interrupted, he had completely lost his train of thought.

Xiaoyuan put the mirror away, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. One was still waiting for a reply, and the other was still thinking about what had just happened.

"Can you tell me the answer to what you just said?"

"Just now, ah yes, were you talking about making a wish?"

"Well, this is the only thing someone like me can do. Apart from making a wish, I really don't see how I can help Conan."

"About this...wait a minute, I just said sacrifice, right? How did you know it was about making a wish?"

"Sayaka-chan told me everything. About witches, magical girls, Mami-san, and you."

Zhixing's eyes turned and he couldn't help but pat his own stupid head.

Knowing that magical girls can use telepathy to transcend physical barriers, Sayaka, who has always been in the same classroom with Madoka, had plenty of opportunities to tell Madoka.
