Watching the anime from Madoka Magica and writing the rules

So why did Kyubey start avoiding the topic?

Zhixing dug into his fragmented thoughts with a distressed look on his face.

Chapter 114 Decryption, Encryption Method

"Oh, there's no hope."

While eating the takeaway at lunch, Zhixing sighed.

After thinking hard all morning, Zhixing still couldn't think of a way to continue. When picking up the takeaway, Zhixing specifically asked the delivery man and learned that the Witch Night, which is considered a typhoon by ordinary people, is about to hit, and everyone must evacuate to nearby large buildings before noon tomorrow.

While eating lunch, I looked at the notebook, documents and mobile phone on the desk.

The paper industry just felt like everything had lost its motivation.

"I only have one day's worth of memories left. If I don't do something, if I don't leave something behind, then even proving my existence to my other selves won't be worth anything. I'll just become a thing of the past."

"But how do I do that? Right now, I don't even know how to encrypt it, let alone leave a message through Witch Night."

"Should I spend the last bit of my time thinking about how to leave a message?"

Thinking about these negative thoughts, Zhixing took a mirror to look at his neck while eating lunch, delaying the few remaining moments.

"The most fundamental solution is to wish for the direct removal of Kyubey, but the amount of karma required is another problem."

"Even witches can't be eliminated directly with a wish. Perhaps Kyubey's invisibility is the result of being eliminated. Disappearing from the sight of ordinary people, or even only signing contracts with young girls, is the result of someone not wanting Kyubey to be under contract with humans anymore."

"After all, minors are the dividing line between children and adults."

"Compared to destroying Kyubey, the next level is to destroy the most dangerous existence, the witch."

"Madoka used a huge amount of karma to destroy the witch at the weakest moment of her birth. Even so, there are still witches who can ignore this wish and appear."

"Then without Madoka's cause and effect, let alone destroying the witch, it's impossible to say that the familiar was split after making a wish on the witch."

"After all, the witch is able to maintain a huge amount of magic power even when she has to consume magic power to form a barrier and split off a large number of familiars. She can break through the magical girl's defense head-on and effectively defend against the magical girl's attacks with her whole body, forcing the magical girl to use a large move and consume a large amount of magic power to defeat her."

"If a witch could reclaim the magic power consumed in creating and maintaining familiars, as well as all the clutter in the labyrinth, would she still be called a witch?"

Zhixing was stunned for a moment when he thought of this, and suddenly discovered a key point in Xiaoyuan's wish.

Madoka did not target or change the concept of witches, but accepted the form of witches, and then destroyed the magical girls when they transformed into witches.

It is not targeting the witch. Changing the witch to other names will not affect the witch's own combat effectiveness. It just uses the witch as a coordinate to allow oneself to arrive before that time.

"Instead of modifying the setting, and not conflicting with the wishes of others who might exist, are you avoiding the original setting and adding your own new setting?"

"If that's the case, then we can just reduce the girl's income and make Kyubey leave because of the profit issue."

"Oh, no, it's probably hard for a wish to affect a magical girl who has more karma than an average person, unless they make a wish to affect themselves."

"That way, it'll be even harder to use wishes."

"After all, in the later stages, Madoka Ichiro made a wish to destroy Witch Night, but she was able to use her magic power beyond her limits, causing her to empty her life with a single arrow and become the Witch of Rescue."

"Affecting one's own wishes also requires the consumption of magic power."

"So, wishes that don't target filth and witchification won't work. However, if such wishes don't affect everyone, then they won't help the Witch Night at all."

Zhixing looked at his own summary with a headache. He clearly wanted to use wishes to cause trouble, but in the end, from targeting Kyubey, to witches, to the magical girl system, nothing worked.

"This is a wish. It's such a powerful force, and so many options with so much freedom. Why can't I get a suitable solution?"

The problem of turning into a witch after making a wish needs to be solved, the problem of insufficient magic limit needs to be solved, and the consumption problem of fighting Witch Night needs to be solved.

These situations can be resolved by the magical girl's wish to prevent herself from becoming a witch or from being contaminated by filth.

However, how do we solve the problem of distorted wishes leading to disasters?

The lack of cause and effect is a key point in making a wish, which will impose various restrictions on the realization of the wish.

The fact that the wisher needs to be alive to keep the wish going is another limitation.

Maybe the girl was turned into a witch so that her wish could continue after her death.

After all, the situation of familiars and witches maintains the ecosystem of magical girls. Even if they die, they are not completely dead, and they can be resurrected again, and the life will continue forever.

It's necessary to deal with the filth, and also the situation where even after becoming a witch, she is still judged as herself by the wishes.

"What other problems remain to be overcome? Ah, yes, there's also the issue of the witch being unaffected."

The distorted power that can dissolve the power of wishes is banished within the witch's barrier. Therefore, if you die among the witches, it will not matter whether you have made a wish to live or not.

Witches can resist the wishes of girls, so even newly born witches will only be eliminated in the current round, but in fact they gather in the round where Madoka makes a wish, forming the Space Witches.

"Making a wish on yourself, and then destroying Witch Night, is the end result of emptying your own life."

"If you make a wish for Witch Night, and wish for its destruction, the result is simply the destruction of everyone's impression of Witch Night?"

"What if everyone no longer has the knowledge of Witch Night as a scapegoat, and needs to eliminate Witch Night again? Wouldn't that compound the situation and make all the magical girls with low karma lose their ability to perceive Witch Night?"

"The superposition, coverage, and cancellation of wishes?"

The paper company had a new idea, but quickly rejected it.

"Indeed, witches may also be the product of the accumulation of wishes from certain girls. Just like in the movie, within Kyubey's wish-blocking barrier, several people were able to control the witch's power instead of losing their minds like the witches of today. This shows that the witch's reduced intelligence must be the result of the girls' wishes."

"Uh....So we have to use a wish to cover up Witch Night and then restore Witch Night to sanity?"

"No, the state in the movie can't be used as a complete reference. After all, she hasn't fully transformed into a witch, so she became human. Even so, after half-transforming into a witch, she still hopes for her own death while commanding her familiars to stop the magical girls' attacks. So even if the witch regains her sanity, she may not be able to control her body."

Zhi Xing sighed, ended his clueless recollections, and looked at the time.

"13:13"

"Time is running out. This is all I can come up with. After that, I'll probably make a wish and conduct experiments. Then, based on the feedback from the situation, I'll have new inspiration. So... for the rest of the time, I can only follow tradition and try to persecute myself, who has no memory."

Zhihang changed his thinking and began to extract some points that made him despair and needed to be verified, and soon the afternoon was over.

The sound of the door opening at the door of the house woke up the paper shop that was still adding to its despair.

Zhixing swallowed his saliva and felt the pressure of not finishing the test paper in the examination room, but the bell had already rung and he had to stop writing and hand in the paper.

Zhi Xing stood up and walked to the hall, where he saw Xiao Yan, who had just returned home from school, throwing her schoolbag into the room.

"Are you still going to school tomorrow?"

"No, I'm basically packing up to go to the nearby shelter tomorrow."

"Nearby? Aren't they together?"

"To prevent being wiped out all at once, isn't this a normal operation? Besides, there aren't any shelters that large enough to accommodate the entire town's population."

Homura fixed her hair and walked towards the paper shop's room.

"So, how much have you written? Is it already a data text?"

"Uh~ I...I didn't find anything useful."

Homura came to the paper shop's desk, ignored the long descriptions at the beginning, and looked directly at the final summary and asked:

"If you have no clue, you need to consider the current variables. After all, change comes from intelligence that is not yet available."

"So, did you do that?"

"Uh, maybe?"

“Have you considered Kamijou’s situation?”

"Ah."

"What about Asami's abnormality?"

"Ah."

"What about the meeting with Kaname Shunko?"

"Ah? Does this count too?"

"How many times have you been trapped in the witch's barrier?"

"Uh, that's already happened twice."

"What's the reason?"

"The first time was when I discovered there were witches in this world, and the second time was when Kyubey... well, I don't know if it was his doing."

"What's the witch's name?"

"Mending, and Shadow."

"So, how many times have we met?"

"Madoka twice, I don't remember the others, I haven't counted them, and Kaname Shunko once."

"So, is there anyone else you haven't met yet?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know, the famous characters."

"Hmm...Kamijo's dad, Madoka's dad and brother, and... Nakazawa who's always being called out by the teacher?"

Xiao Yan nodded, then gently tapped the side of the desk, and a drawer suddenly popped out of the desk, and a thick book was placed in the drawer.

Homura placed the books on the table, then took out the bag of dice that was hidden by the books, looked at the paper and said:

"This is the tool you'll use to compile information. Start writing. I'll teach you later, and then come back to memorize it in the evening. Don't delay too long. Tomorrow I need to devote all my energy to the battle for Witch Night."

"Do you have enough time?"

"Don't underestimate me. After all, I have the qualifications to be chosen to become a magical girl. Although it's not based on my intelligence, I am much better than Shinichi."

Zhi Xing flipped through the thick book and found that it was all written in Japanese, which he didn't recognize, with only a few Chinese characters occasionally appearing. He couldn't help but ask curiously:

"How do I do that? I feel like I can't finish reading it."

"This is not for you to read, but for you to copy."

The paper company took a small box containing several dice, on which were pasted several lines of Chinese characters.

"The ability you gain from your wish isn't inherently a supernatural power, so it's not limited to a specific function."

"You only have the ability to understand and speak human language."

"You can understand Japanese, German, Witch Language, and other human-related languages, as long as they are spoken by a human, even if it is just a pre-recorded voice reading."

"So if you want your information to be encrypted, the best way is to create a unique language."

"This language doesn't require logic or recognition from others. As long as you understand its meaning, you can recognize it as a human language, just like you can understand witch language directly."

"But that doesn't mean anything can become your own unique language. You have to set aside the original meaning and not prioritize literal translation."

Homura said as she took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhixing.

"Research has shown that the order of Chinese characters does not necessarily affect the reading experience! It is proven that after you read the whole sentence, you will find that the characters are all messed up."

Zhixing looked at the Chinese text and understood its meaning even without saying anything. Then he heard Xiaoyan say:

"That's basically it. You mess up the text a little bit, then you mentally instill the meaning into it, and then you listen to it on your phone until you hear what you meant."

After completing the handover work across the weeks, Xiao Yan, who had been staying up late for two consecutive days and did not sleep in class, left the paper shop's room and went back to her room to rest for tomorrow's decisive battle.

"Is this how I use my abilities?"

As Zhixing had been using his ability all along, he quickly understood the logic behind it after hearing what Xiaoyan said. However, because he knew the encryption method, Zhixing was even more puzzled.

The sixth generation left a message in the dream, and the Witch Night is coming tomorrow. What should I do to leave a message to my future self through the Witch Night?

"Snapped!"

Zhixing slapped his head hard, leaving the confusion about his ability to tomorrow, and then began to convert all his daytime content and the draft in his mind into data text.

"To measure the impact of something, one must understand the following aspects: scope of impact, priority, quantity, duration, speed of change, and frequency."

"Without Madoka's aptitude, you can only influence one city. Your priority cannot be compared to that of a witch, and your numbers can only target ordinary people. The duration depends on the cause and effect assigned to you, and the number of times you can perform it is simply cause and effect / required energy = number of times."

"And when my research on Kyubey's wish-granting mechanism was hopeless, I noticed something."

"Familiars are also considered part of human karma."

Chapter 115 Kyubey's Wish

"A familiar can become a witch. The difference is that, in addition to their magical powers, they also have memories of their human days."

"I can't understand the familiar's words because they don't have a human language. Only after they grow into witches can they recover their human memories. Although their memories will be distorted into witch language, to a witch, it's just normal speech."

"A familiar is nothing more than a part of the witch's soul, or even just a part of her emotions, like the children on the pseudo-street."
