Chapter 536: The Restrained Clow Cards
The Wood family.
Because only Tomoeda Elementary School was on holiday, Touya, a high school student, was still in class, and Fujitaka, a professor, was also in class.
Therefore, apart from a sealed beast that was like a pet, there was no one else in the house.
Soon, Xiao Ke, who was staying at home, heard the reason why Xiao Ying and the others came home so early. After thinking for a while, he crossed his arms and said affirmatively: "It was the Clow Cards who did it."
"Hohoho, is it time for us, the guardians of this world, the magicians who watch over the human world from the hidden corners, to go out again?"
Seeing that Xiao Ke had made up his mind, Xia Yu covered his eyes with one hand and posed in an exaggerated tone.
Fortunately, Sakura is almost familiar with Xia Yu's style. Although she still finds it a little difficult to cope with it, at least she won't have to dig her toes into the ground as awkwardly as before.
Chiyo, on the other hand, was different from Sakura. She felt that what Xia Yu said was very right. She nodded in agreement and said, "A magician watching over the human world from a secret corner? I didn't expect that you, Xia Yu, know a lot about it."
"Of course, I understand it very well, okay?"
However, Xiao Ke didn't care about that. He just noticed that Xia Yu was going to follow him. He immediately flew in front of Xia Yu and said angrily, "Are you going to snatch the Clow Cards from us again, you bastard?"
"No, no."
Xia Yu stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Ke away from him, and said proudly: "The ancients said that the treasures of heaven and earth belong to the virtuous, and I think I am that virtuous person. Do you understand fair competition?"
"You little brat..."
Xiao Ke gritted his teeth and was about to take a bite of Xia Yu when Xiao Ying suddenly pulled Xiao Ke away and said, "Okay, okay, Xiao Ke, stop arguing with Xia Yu. Since you are the guardian of the Clow Cards, do you know why the Clow Cards want to destroy the school and prevent us from going to school?"
After being interrupted by Xiaoying, Xiaoke no longer bothered about Xia Yu going with him. Instead, he stroked his chin, thought about it, and shook his head, saying, "Sorry, I don't know either..."
"Each Clow Card has its own different thoughts. They are condensed by Clow using the laws of concepts. I only know the ability of each card. I don't know what they are thinking."
As he was talking, Xiao Ke couldn't help scratching his big head: "Besides that, some Clow Cards are difficult to get along with. If you don't suit their taste, they won't even pay attention to you."
"Eh? Is that so?"
Sakura was a little surprised and couldn't help but say, "I thought all the Clow Cards were as gentle as Sister Feng."
"Sister Feng?"
"It's the Wind Card. Xia calls it Sister Wind. I also think that's more polite."
"Souga." Xiao Ke nodded and agreed: "The Wind Card is indeed the gentlest card among all the Clow Cards. Some cards are like little children and love to play pranks. I was played pranks by them many times in the past."
After recalling the past, Kero suddenly flew in front of Sakura, pointed at her and said, "No matter what, Sakura, it's time for Magician Clow to go out again."
"Eh? So fast?"
Sakura was a little surprised. No investigation is needed?
Moreover, I just captured the Flying Card a few days ago, and now I encounter a new Clow Card. Will it be a new Clow Card every day in the future?
–_–
Let her go, she is just an ordinary primary school student...
"That's right!" Xiao Ke nodded: "Some Clow Cards only move at night, so we must catch them when they cause trouble at night!"
"night……"
Xiaoying couldn't help but imagine the school at night following Xiaoke's words. Some scary ghosts immediately appeared in her mind. She shook her head vigorously and said, "Not at night!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ke was a little confused: "Why?"
"Because the school has a ..."
Although Sakura didn't say it explicitly, the frightened expression on her face already gave her the answer.
"No need to be afraid, Sakura!"
At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly patted Xiaoying on the shoulder and gave her a reassuring look. Under Xiaoying's expectant gaze, Xia Yu spoke with certainty.
"Souls wandering in the world and the dead wandering in the human world will all return to the land of the dead according to the laws of nature. Confusion and bewilderment, hatred and sadness will disappear on the path of light. Your worries are just groundless worries!"
"Huh?"
Xiaoying blinked her small eyes. She understood every word that Xia said just now, but why couldn't she understand when they were put together?
Although I didn't understand it, I felt it was very powerful. However... did it have anything to do with her fear of ghosts? She should still be afraid!
Seeing that Sakura still seemed a little scared, Tomoyo came over and said, "School is a little scary at night, but Sakura, don't be afraid. I'll go with you!"
"Wow...you guys are so nice."
Hearing what Tomoyo said, Sakura shed tears of joy. Although Tomoyo and Xia Yu were willing to accompany her to school in the evening, she herself was unwilling to do so.
But looking at her current situation, it seems that she has no power to refuse.
〒▽〒
After discussing for a while, the three of them agreed on a time to meet at the school gate at midnight and then investigate the truth of the school.
If it was really the Clow Cards' fault, then this would be a good opportunity to capture them.
…
Midnight, Tomoeda Elementary School.
The crescent moon hangs high in the sky, pouring silver light all over the sky.
Under the moonlight and the stars, the surrounding streets did not seem dark, but there was no one around, so it seemed a little cold and deserted.
At the school gate, Sakura, wearing a yellow jacket, looked at the empty scene and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
Although she could see her surroundings clearly, she still felt a little uneasy. A breeze blew by, and Sakura couldn't help but shiver, causing the hair on her head to sway slightly.
“How terrible…”
"It's okay." Xiao Ke floated beside Xiao Ying, patted his chest and said, "I'm with you, don't be afraid."
Suddenly, the breeze turned into a strong gale, and the wind pressure came from above, causing Sakura to look up in surprise. Xiao Ke also subconsciously flapped her wings to stabilize her body.
A huge shadow loomed.
The shadow blocked Sakura and Kero, and also blocked the moonlight behind them!
"What is that...?"
Sakura squinted her eyes to try to make out what was happening, but because the shadows blocked out the moonlight, she couldn't make out anything.
"Could it be a monster?!"
As she was talking, Sakura's heart tightened and she wanted to escape from here. If she had known earlier, she would have come later. If she had come earlier, she would be the only one waiting.
Hearing what Sakura said, Xiao Ke squinted his eyes and took a closer look, muttering, "It looks a bit like wings..."
Soon, Xiao Ke seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "That brat likes to show off too much. Even if it's a deserted night, he still makes such a big scene."
"Hey, Magician Kuro , I didn't expect you to come so early!"
The strong wind gradually turned back into a breeze, and the huge shadow gradually shrank. The person casting the shadow was Xia Yu who had just arrived.
Xia Yu landed directly on the wall, folded his wings, and greeted Xiaoying from a high position.
"Xia...Xia classmate, could you please not appear in such a scary way next time?"
“Scary?”
Xia Yu jumped down from the wall with a flip. After landing, he stroked his hair and said proudly: "If the sky oppresses me, I will split it open! If the earth constrains me, I will crush it! My madness is higher than the sky!"
“…”
Here it comes, Classmate Xia is saying something she can’t understand again.
"Um... Mr. Xia, can you answer me in simple and easy-to-understand words?" Sakura smiled embarrassedly. Otherwise, based on the words just now, she would not be able to understand what Mr. Xia meant.
"Um... no."
“…”
Zhishi, please come quickly. Only you can communicate well with classmate Xia. I can’t understand what classmate Xia is saying at all!
Sakura couldn't help but cry silently in her heart, but at least with one more person, the atmosphere at night wasn't so scary anymore.
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little relieved. One more person meant an extra layer of security. Even if a ghost appeared or something, she wouldn't... No, she still had to be afraid.
Not long after, Tomoyo also arrived.
However, Zhishi's appearance was even more exaggerated than Xia Yu's. At the end of the road, a black luxury car with its headlights on broke through the darkness and drove towards this place.
Xia Yu didn’t recognize the logo of the luxury car, and Xiaoying was even less familiar with it.
But there is one thing that both of them are very clear about, that is, this car is definitely very expensive, and the word "luxury" is revealed from top to bottom on the car body.
"As expected of a rich woman, knowing the world is power."
Looking at the luxury car coming towards him, Xia Yu sighed sincerely. Hearing this, Xiaoying nodded in understanding.
"No wonder you called Chise "power" at the beginning, Xia-san. So this is what you meant by power."
While the two were talking, the luxury car had already stopped in front of them. Only then did they see clearly that there was an RV following behind the luxury car.
The RV is very large and can accommodate almost ten people. I don’t know what is inside.
After the luxury car stopped, the back door opened and Chise, wearing a pink skirt and leather gloves, got out of the car.
Seeing that he was the last one to arrive , Zhishi smiled apologetically and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, we just got here." Sakura replied with a smile.
Suddenly, the door of the luxury car was opened again, and then the door of the RV was also opened, and four tall beauties in suits walked down at the same time.
The beauty in a suit wore a suit on the upper body, a short skirt on the lower body, and high heels on her feet. She wore equally cool sunglasses on her cold face, looking majestic.
After getting off the car, the beauties in suits stood in a row behind Tomoyo, and Tomoyo took the opportunity to explain: "Let me introduce them, they are our family's bodyguards."
The four bodyguards bent down and gestured to Xiaoying and Xia Yu as if they had been trained. Xiaoying hurriedly returned the gesture, while Xia Yu glanced up and down at the bodyguards.
"Hey, Tomoyo, can I ask the bodyguard sister a question?"
"Um?"
Seeing Xia Yu looking at his bodyguard curiously, Zhishi smiled and said, "Sure, but don't ask too difficult questions."
"Don't worry, it won't be difficult."
Xia Yu smiled and waved his hand, then looked at the four bodyguards seriously and asked, "Sister bodyguards, you are wearing sunglasses at night, can't you see the road clearly?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Sakura immediately reacted. Yes, although wearing sunglasses looks cool, is it really okay to wear sunglasses late at night?
Hearing this question, the four bodyguards looked at each other. After being reminded like this, they suddenly realized that it was indeed a bit stupid to wear sunglasses so late at night.
Silence, silence is Cambridge tonight.
After a moment, the leading bodyguard coughed and replied, "Sunglasses are necessary equipment for us. Bodyguards' ethics do not allow us to take them off at will."
"Search for the gas."
Xia Yu raised his fist and said innocently, "Sunglasses are necessary equipment for bodyguards. I thought the bodyguards were so stupid that they even forgot to take off their sunglasses. I am so ignorant."
“…”
Hearing these naive words, the bodyguards could no longer hold back. They said goodbye to their young lady in a hurry, got into their luxury car and left in a panic.
The moment they got into the car, they hurriedly took off their stupid sunglasses and never wore them again except at noon.
If you think about it carefully, wearing sunglasses at night will not make you look cool and serious, but will make you look stupid. Really, why didn't they realize it earlier?
Only after the luxury car was out of sight did Zhishi burst out laughing: "Pfft~ Xia classmate, you are so mean."
Xia Yu also chuckled: "Don't blame me, it's obviously your bodyguard sisters who are all idiots."
Seeing Tomoyo and Xia Yu suddenly burst into laughter after looking at each other, Sakura scratched her head in confusion and said, "What are you laughing at? Tomoyo, why did you say that Xia Yu was so mean? Xia Yu is obviously a good person."
"Hey, kid, don't worry about it."
"That's right, Sakura just needs to be cute. If she knows too much, she won't be cute anymore."
Sakura: ...
Looking at Xia Yu and Tomoyo who were singing the same tune, Sakura puffed up her cheeks. It happened again, her best friend and her new friend were ostracizing her again.
Why are Xia and Chise so in tune with each other, even though they have only known each other for a short time?
Only after he had laughed enough did Chishio take a deep breath and remember why he had to follow along.
"Sakura-chan, come here."
Seeing Sakura standing there in a daze, Tomoyo simply took Sakura's hand and pulled her to the back of the RV, then opened the back door of the RV.
Inside the huge RV, there were two large rows of clothes hanging on each side. Although they were called clothes, they looked more like cosplay costumes because of their gorgeous and exquisite appearance.
From hats to shoes, there is everything, and with the shining lights, it feels like entering a small fashion show.
“Oh eh?!!!”
Looking at the two rows of clothes, Sakura exclaimed, there were so many clothes that she was dazzled. Why did Tomoyo bring clothes to school?
Before Sakura could figure it out, Tomoyo suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Sakura's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's start changing clothes."
"Change...change clothes?"
Hearing this word, Sakura took a step back with blushing cheeks, and couldn't help asking: "Why?"
"Sakura, you're going to catch the Clow Cards now, right?"
"Um."
"That's right!" Tomoyo approached Sakura with a smile on her face: "To do special things, you need to wear special clothes. How can you be called a magical girl without nice clothes?"
"Yeah?"
"Tomoyo is right!"
Xia Yu also came to Zhishi and affirmed Zhishi's words: "If you don't wear clothes that match the Clow Cards, you will lose in momentum when facing the Clow Cards!"
"Besides, Sakura will definitely be cuter in pretty clothes. In order to successfully capture the Clow Cards and become cuter, come change your clothes, Sakura!"
"Classmate Xia still understands me." Zhishi stepped forward and grabbed Xia Yu's hand. Xia Yu nodded affirmatively, and then the two of them cast eager glances at Xiaoying.
“Uh, hehe…”
Sakura pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile. Facing such an eager gaze, she really couldn't refuse.
The next moment, without waiting for Sakura to continue speaking, Tomoyo pushed Sakura into the trunk of the car. Since Xia Yu was a boy and it was inconvenient for him to go in, he stayed outside to deal with any emergencies.
Xiao Ke, who has the personality of a boy but is actually a sexless magical creature, was able to follow in smoothly.
After a moment, the change of clothes was completed.
The car door opened again, and Sakura and Tomoyo reappeared at the school gate.
Sakura, after changing her outfit, looks like a witch wearing Little Red Riding Hood. She wears a black long-sleeved tights like the one in Sukusui inside and a rose-red cape outside. With white gloves, white shoes and a white skirt, she looks very cute overall.
But the cutest thing is the big bow on the chest, which is simply the finishing touch.
Seeing this familiar outfit really appearing before his eyes, Xia Yu felt extremely emotional. This was a clothing design from the 1990s, and it still looked cute today.
Sure enough, good design can stand the test of time.
After admiring Sakura in this state for a while, Xia Yu suddenly reached out to Chise.
"Tomoyo!"
"clear!"
Seeing Xia Yu stretch out his hand, Zhishi immediately understood what he meant and directly put a brand new camera in his hand.
After taking the camera, Xia Yu gave Zhishi a thumbs up.
Still you understand me.
certainly!
Chishi also gave Xia Yu a thumbs up, then raised another camera in her hand and nodded at Xia Yu.
The two of them immediately took pictures of Sakura who had changed her clothes at the same time. Even Sakura was a little surprised by their tacit understanding.
"Oh... Why are you only taking pictures of me? It's so embarrassing." Sakura, the protagonist, felt her cheeks turn red and she wanted to cover her face and squat down.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. Sakura is very cute, so she is worth collecting and commemorating." After shooting enough footage, Xia Yu casually replied while browsing the newly shot collection.
"Classmate Xia is right. Wow, we have captured a really great collection." Tomoyo also put away his camera and replied with a smile.
"It's a pity that I don't know Xia's size, so I can't prepare clothes for her. If Xia needs it, I can prepare it for you next time."
Xia Yu, who was browsing the materials, was shocked when he heard this. He recalled the clothes that Tomoyo prepared for Sakura in the cartoon and shook his head hurriedly.
"No thanks, no thanks. I don't need any clothes. Master Tomoyo can prepare them for Sakura. I'm just a heartless photographer."
"Haha, classmate Xia's words are really interesting."
Just as they were communicating, a muffled sound suddenly came from the school, attracting everyone's attention.
Several people looked at each other and walked towards the school together. Because it was night, the school was pitch black. There were not even street lights, only moonlight shining on the ground.
A cold wind blew and Sakura took a few steps back in fear, because Toya often scared her with stories like ghosts, which made her very afraid of these imaginary things.
"Don't be afraid, just watch me."
Xia Yu walked in front of the group, took out his magic wand and pointed it towards the sky.
"Lumos!"
In an instant, a bright light appeared on the tip of Xia Yu's wand. Although it only flashed for a moment, it was enough for several people to see the scene clearly.
Under the fluorescent light, a statue suddenly flew out from the corner of the teaching building and flew straight towards the people.
“Get out of the way!”
Seeing that the statue was moving quite fast and seemed to have planned it in advance, Xia Yu shouted hurriedly, turned around and picked up Zhishi beside him, and a pair of white wings instantly spread out from behind him and flew into the sky.
Hearing Xia Yu's reminder, Xiao Ke hurriedly grabbed Xiaoying's clothes and flew her up. Although it is small, it can also carry people into the air.
boom!!
They had just left the ground when the pale statue slammed down towards their original position, and a hole was smashed into the solid playground.
"What the hell."
Looking at the power that can kill people directly, Xia Yu couldn't help but be shocked. These Clow Cards are really meant to kill people. You have to know that they are still elementary school students.
In animations for children, elementary school students have the right to avoid injury.
"Xia, look at the ground."
Suddenly, Zhishi tugged at Xia Yu's clothes and pointed to the ground.
I saw that in the shadow cast by the statue on the ground, there was an additional human-shaped shadow. It was the human-shaped shadow that was holding up the shadow of the statue, which made the statue move.
It’s a bit like Moria in One Piece, both of whom control objects through shadows.
"Huh, you're a shadow, huh? Then I'll leave you nowhere to hide!"
Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and pointed his wand at the ground: "Bright as day!"
In an instant, the tip of Xia Yu's wand lit up again with a sun-like light, but this time the light was not like fluorescent light. Instead, it turned into a beam of light, instantly making the inside of the campus as bright as day.
Under the illumination of the light, the shadow holding the statue disappeared in the blink of an eye. The shadow collected by the shadow card had no main body and would disappear when facing the light.
Without the support of its shadow, the statue fell straight down, creating another big hole in the ground.
After driving away the troublesome shadow, Xia Yu shouted to Xiaoying on the other side: "It's a shadow, but this shadow can't see the light. Xiaoying, seal the shadow first!"
"good!"
After hearing the information Xia Yu told her, Sakura did not delay and hurriedly took out the key to unlock the wand.
But at this moment, dense human shadows suddenly appeared from the teaching building, and countless shadows swept over like an overwhelming force.
These black shadows quickly gathered together and turned into a dark ocean that seemed to be able to swallow everything.
But it’s not over yet. After the dark ocean appeared, it immediately rolled up black waves. The originally flat shadows also became solid, as if they had come from a two-dimensional world to a three-dimensional world.
"The Clow Cards are indeed unreasonable."
Looking at this scene that broke common sense, Xia Yu didn't know what expression to make, but the Clow Cards themselves were concept law cards, and the breakthrough from the two-dimensional dimension to the three-dimensional dimension didn't seem so difficult to accept.
Besides, even if Shadow breaks through to the third dimension, as long as he is afraid of light, he will completely restrain the opponent.
"Bright as day!"
The bright light shone again. Under the strong light, the shadow had nowhere to hide and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that the terrifying wave of darkness had vanished, Sakura quickly pulled out the Wind Card and held it up in front of her eyes.
"Wind! Please roll up and block the airflow!"
"wind!"
