Chapter 543 Why Aren’t You Afraid?
"Since you are also here to look for ghosts, let's act together."
Xia Yu walked over to the girls and smiled cheerfully: "Maybe the road ahead will be dark forever, but there is no need to be afraid, because even the faintest starlight will illuminate the way for us."
"Come, pure light from the sky, descend into this world and protect us!"
There was silence in the air for a few seconds. Naoko couldn't help but look away and laughed dryly: "...Ahaha, Xia-san is right."
The remaining girls also smiled awkwardly, but with this little episode, the fear in their hearts dissipated in an instant.
After Xia Yu joined, the team searching for the ghost sped up again. Of course, Naoko was still leading the way.
Before long, the team went straight through the forest and arrived at the end of the back mountain.
At the end is a cliff, about ten meters high, and below is a road, a road that surrounds Tomoeda Town.
Originally, the edge of the cliff was surrounded by iron railings, but at the location of a dirt road, the iron railings seemed to be broken by something, leaving no protection at all.
If you accidentally fall down, you will definitely die.
Looking at the gap, Xia Yu frowned, wondering why no one came to fix it? Aren't they afraid that someone would fall in?
Um……
It seems that they are not afraid. After all, no one would be stupid enough to get close to a dangerous cliff. If they really get close to it, it would be irresponsible for their own life.
That’s right, let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate!
When they were still five or six meters away from the cliff, Naoko stopped, looked at the cliff and said, "I remember this is it."
She did not move any closer to the cliff. After all, she had promised Sakura before coming here that she would never get close to the cliff. Besides, the last time she saw a ghost, it was near this location.
After hearing what Naoko said, Chiharu and the others looked around but found nothing.
"Nothing?"
"Maybe he won't come out until night."
They didn't find anything along the way, and there was no trace of ghosts at the end. Several girls couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.
Xia Yu did not join the discussion, but looked towards the city in the distance.
Because it is close to the cliff, the view here is wide. Even though the sun has set, there is still a faint afterglow of the sunset.
The dim light seemed to have coated the city with a layer of light gold, which was very beautiful.
“I didn’t expect there would be such scenery here.”
Xia Yu felt the breeze on his face and couldn't help feeling refreshed. If he wasn't afraid of scaring the girls, he would have wanted to shout towards the distant city.
Sakura, who was hiding behind the others, finally relaxed a little and was no longer so nervous because she saw the sunlight and did not encounter the so-called ghost.
Just as she was about to stand up and persuade others to go back, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint blue light out of the corner of her eye.
“Ouch!!!”
Sakura's sharp scream rang out again. The other girls were startled and turned around. At the same time, they also saw the faint blue light floating out from the forest.
The next second, the faint light suddenly turned into a pillar of light, and at the same time the radiance surged. Then the pillar of light disappeared, and the faint light became bigger and bigger, directly illuminating the entire cliff.
Buzz——!
Under the growing ball of light, everyone's faces were illuminated brightly. In just a moment, the place was completely covered by the light blue light.
"What is this?"
Xia Yu looked at the exquisite castle in front of him in astonishment. In the ball of light that was getting bigger and bigger, he actually saw Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
Is this the entrance to another world? So he is not in the Transmigration Stream? But the All-Heaven Stream?
"Hey, Tongzi, is this the entrance to another world?"
Looking at the entrance in front of him, Xia Yu whispered to his system, "When in doubt, ask the system first."
[The system doesn’t know. ]
"You...what use are you!"
Xia Yu couldn't help but swear, but soon he realized something was wrong. Why was the entrance in front of him flickering? Just like a TV show with a bad signal?
By the way, is this really the entrance to another world? Why does it look so unreal?
Before Xia Yu could observe carefully, someone suddenly grabbed his hand, and the next second, a huge force carried him away.
“Aaaaaaaaah!!!”
In the forest, continuous screams echoed all around. Naoko and the others ran back the way they came, screaming.
Sakura, who was the most frightened, screamed continuously, but in this situation, she did not forget to drag Xia Yu and Tomoyo to escape together.
Feeling Sakura's tremendous strength, Xia Yu slowly asked a question: When did Sakura become so strong?
Although he could break free if he wanted to, if he tried to break free forcefully now, Sakura might fall, so Xia Yu just ran at the same speed as Sakura.
A few minutes later, a group of people ran back to the original road from the forest.
Only then did the girls who had been screaming stop, panting.
Except for Chise, the rest of the girls had panic-stricken expressions on their faces, and they stared blankly at the forest, fearing that the ghost they had just seen would catch up with them.
Xia Yu looked at Zhishi in confusion. Among this group of people, only the two of them were relatively calm and a little bit confused.
"There was a woman with long hair..."
Sakura held Xia Yu with one hand and Tomoyo with the other, and couldn't help but talk about the ghost she had just seen.
Chiharu also echoed with a look of fear: "And pointy ears..."
"There's an eye moving around..."
"With a big pink mouth showing teeth..."
After several girls finished speaking, Zhi Shi replied in a daze: "Big meat bun."
"Huh?"
Hearing Chise's sweet voice, everyone present was stunned and couldn't help but look over.
Facing everyone's gaze, Tomoyo raised a finger and thought: "I mean, I saw a big meat bun."
At this point, Zhishi couldn't help but reach out and touch his stomach: "I'm a little hungry, I want to eat meat buns."
"Forehead……"
Hearing this unexpected answer, several girls were a little stunned. Why did they see a ghost? Could it be that ghosts can change their forms?
Before they could figure it out, they smelled the aroma of meat buns. The girls couldn't help but widen their eyes. Could it be that the ghost was really a meat bun? !
"Hey, Chise, I just happened to bring some meat buns, I'll give them to you."
Just when the other girls were daydreaming, Xia Yu suddenly took out a meat bun in a paper bag from the schoolbag behind him and handed it to Zhishi who was touching her belly.
"It's really a meat bun. Thank you so much, Xia."
When Zhishi saw the meat bun in Xia Yu's hand, his eyes lit up. After thanking him, he took the meat bun and started eating. In an instant, the aroma of the meat buns around him became stronger.
Looking at Xia Yu and Zhi Shi who were having so much fun, the others were dumbfounded.
Why are you guys still so calm after encountering a ghost? And Chise, why are you still eating so happily? Aren’t you afraid of ghosts?
Also, classmate Xia, why did you put meat buns in your schoolbag, while they were still steaming hot?
Naoko and other girls just felt that reality was so magical, they were scared half to death, but Tomoyo and Xia Yu seemed to be here for fun.
"Well, Mr. Xia, Tomoyo said what she saw was a meat bun, what did you see?" Sakura calmed her beating heart and couldn't help but ask Xia Yu.
"I?"
After Xia Yu put his backpack back on his back, he thought for a moment and said, "It's a luxurious castle, but I didn't see any so-called ghosts. Did you see it wrong?"
"Yeah?"
The girls who were questioned by Xia Yu looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Could it be that they really saw it wrong?
Isn't that right?
Judging from the number of people, even if they were wrong, it should be Xia and Tomoyo who were wrong!
Compared to ghosts, castles and meat buns are more incredible.
"Since what we see is different..." Qianchun stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly suggested: "Why don't we go back and take a look and find out what it is, how about that?"
"Da meh!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, before anyone else could express their opinion, Sakura directly made a cross with her hands and loudly refused.
Absolutely not going there again or anything like that.
She had managed to run away with great difficulty. If she met a ghost again, she would definitely be scared to tears.
Seeing Sakura's firm refusal, and seeing the remaining fear on the other friends' faces, Chiharu didn't feel comfortable speaking any more, and could only give up.
A thrilling and somewhat absurd journey ended just like that. Since they had just run all the way here, they were out of the back mountain in no time.
Then they said goodbye to each other and went back to their homes.
However, Xia Yu didn't walk for long before he suddenly turned back. He was really curious about what he had just seen.
Even if it's not a portal to another world, it's not something simple.
According to the tone of Sakura's world, maybe that's another special Clow Card. That's right, it has been silent for so long, it's time for a new Clow Card to appear.
"Hey, Xiaotong, you couldn't even figure out whether that was the entrance to another world just now. What use do I have for you?"
On the way to the cliff, Xia Yu recalled the answer from his system. Even he could see that the entrance was fake, but the system said it didn't know?
Is this reasonable?
This is unreasonable!
[Host, I am just a system, not an omnipotent answering machine. You think too highly of me. ]
"You can extract things from all the heavens and worlds and put them in the system mall, and you tell me you don't even have this much vision?"
【Knowing the result but not the reason~】
"…What you said makes a lot of sense. I don't even know how to refute it."
Xia Yu was speechless about the system's answer. As expected, sincerity was the ultimate skill.
"I'm so bored, Xiao Tongzi, tell me a joke."
【……】
[Start playing the animation "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes"]
A light blue screen suddenly appeared in front of Xia Yu's eyes, on which was playing the first episode of the first season of One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes, the Nezha episode.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to become smarter, Tongzi."
[…As long as the host is happy. ]
"I'm very happy. I give you a five-star rating."
【……】
In this way, Xia Yu walked and looked, heading towards the cliff at the end of the back mountain. As he walked, a black shadow suddenly blocked his sight.
"Um?"
Xia Yu looked up in confusion, and what he saw was a muscular man, tall and strong with delicate skin and tender flesh. His huge pectoral muscles were bigger than his head. Just standing there, the taut muscle lines seemed to be shaking.
That would be fine, but the key point is that the head on this monster's body is extremely pretty and cute, with two buns tied in buns.
(ΩДΩ)
"Hey, who are you, monster? Tell me your name!"
Xia Yu stepped back, pulled out his magic wand, and pointed the tip of the wand at the busty guy in front of him. However, the busty guy with a cute and handsome face did not move at all, as if he was a phantom.
"Um?"
After realizing this, Xia Yu looked at the Nezha episode of One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes that was , and then looked at the busty brother in the purple deep V dress in front of him.
"Nezha?"
After a tentative shout, the big-breasted guy in front of me didn't respond. After a few seconds, the big-breasted guy who suddenly appeared suddenly flickered like an old TV.
Then the figure that suddenly appeared disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
"Illusion? Phantom card?"
Looking at the dissipating phantom, Xia Yu thought for a moment. If he remembered correctly, there should be a Clow Card called the Phantom Card among the Clow Cards.
Could this be the phantom card? Has the plot of the phantom card arrived?
Thinking of this, Xia Yu took out a pink phone from his schoolbag and prepared to notify Sakura to seal the Clow Cards.
The pink cell phone is a product of the Zhishi family. It was already pink when Zhishi gave it to him, not because he has a pink and tender girlish heart.
"Alas, I don't know when smartphones will appear. I'm not used to using this phone."
Looking at the pink phone in his hand, which is thinner than a mobile phone but has similar functions, Xia Yu feels helpless. After all, this is still the 1990s.
But to be honest, the technological development in Sakura's world is also unscientific, just like in Conan's world. It has only been a year or two, and they have gone from mobile phones to smartphones.
He vaguely remembered that in the Transparent Card arc, Sakura and the others had already used touch-screen phones. They had just entered junior high school at that time, which was only two years away from the fourth grade of elementary school, but technology had skyrocketed by more than a decade.
"Forget it, why should I take cartoons seriously?"
Shaking his head, Xia Yu retracted his wandering thoughts. He was still young anyway, and if smartphones did not appear in two years, he would use his sunshine points to exchange for smartphone technology and directly improve the technology of this world.
After more than ten seconds, the call was connected.
"Moshimoshi, the Kinomoto family?"
"I'm Xiaoying's classmate. Please tell Xiaoying that Xia Yu has something to tell her."
"No, this is a secret between Sakura and I, so I can only tell you this myself."
"Yes, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu put away the phone, looked at the sky which had not yet darkened, and said to himself: "Oh, so boring, forget it, let's continue practicing magic."
"Wait, I almost forgot to tell the housekeeper that I won't be going back tonight."
Time passes slowly during the process of practicing magic.
The sky was getting darker and darker, from its original dimness to complete night.
During this period, Xia Yu not only told Sakura his guess about the Clow Cards, but also drove away another group of students who wanted to look for ghosts.
The leader among them was actually Chiharu. It's a good thing this isn't a horror movie, otherwise the first ones to suffer would be this group of curious people who keep courting death.
