Chapter 120 I'm Still Here

With Xia Yu's departure, the streets seemed to become quiet again.

After recording Xia Yu's departing figure, Zhishi pointed the camera back to the road they came from.

After a while, Sakura and her friends also appeared.

Seeing Sakura appear, Tomoyo smiled again and raised his hand and waved.

Sakura, who was running over, also noticed this and waved happily to Tomoyo.

Only after Sakura's back disappeared from the camera's lens did Tomoyo put down the camera with satisfaction.

Although it is not the scene of capturing the Clow Cards, this scene is also worth recording.

After about another minute or two, the large group behind gradually caught up. Many of them were already panting, but they persisted without falling behind only out of their passion.

Ahead, an avenue of cherry blossom trees.

Turnaround point.

In addition to the teacher holding a small yellow flag to prevent students from running in the wrong direction, there were also two high school students waiting here.

These two high school students were Touya and Yukito, who had hurried here on their bicycles to cheer for Sakura.

However, the first person to appear in their sight was neither Xiaoying nor Xiaolang, but Xia Yu who was leading all the way.

"Hey, good afternoon, Snow Rabbit and the part-time worker."

Xia Yu looked at Yukito and Touya and greeted them happily.

Touya: (ー`ー)
Nasty little devil!
"Good afternoon, keep up the good work." Snow Rabbit waved gently.

"Tsk, why are you, a little kid, running in the front? Aren't you afraid of running out of energy at the back by running so fast?" Although Taoya was unhappy that Xia Yu asked him to work as a worker, he was not a stingy person.

Seeing that Xia Yu was running so fast with almost all his strength, he reminded him proudly with a hint of meaning.

"Thanks for the reminder. Next time you can just say it directly instead of beating around the bush."

Xia Yu chuckled and directly exposed Touya's little thoughts. He accelerated and passed the turning point in an instant, then turned his back to Touya and the others and ran while speaking loudly.

"Don't worry, who do you think I am? I am the chosen one, destined to be number one!"

As Xia Yu walked away, Tao Shi couldn't help but curl his lips and said with disdain: "He is still the Chosen One, but how can this kid say such shameful words without changing his expression?"

"What's wrong, Touya, you don't like Xia Yu?" Xuetu looked at Xia Yu who was leaving with a happy face. He thought Xia Yu was quite interesting.

"Well, I can't say I hate it." Touya retracted his gaze and looked back at the intersection where the person came from.

Why is that monster so slow? It’s obviously a monster, but it can’t even outrun a nasty little ghost.

After another minute or two, a vague figure finally appeared at the intersection at the end.

Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling were still leading in the front, with Xiaoying following closely behind them. The gap between the three was very small, and if one of them sped up, he would surpass the other two.

When Sakura and the others came closer, Yukito waved gently and called out, "Come on, Sakura."

Tsukishiro Yukito used Encourage, and Kinomoto Sakura was encouraged.

Outstanding effect!

In an instant, Sakura accelerated instantly, surpassed Li Meiling in one fell swoop, and came next to Li Syaoran.

Li Syaoran, who was running in the front, saw that Sakura was about to overtake him, and noticed Yukito who was smiling gently. For some reason, he was stimulated and speeded up as well.

Li Meiling, who had been able to follow Li Xiaolang, fell to the back of the pack in just a few seconds. She only managed to hold on with all her strength to avoid falling too far behind.

Now it's Li Syaoran and Xiaoying who are competing against each other. Li Meiling will be considered a success if she is not thrown away.

At the turning point, Touya looked at the three people who suddenly accelerated for no reason and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

What happened to these little guys? Why are they running so fast?

Are you stimulated?
the other side.

After saying hello to Naoko who was running slowly at the back, Tomoyo wanted to take the car back to the finish line and then take pictures of Xia Yu winning the championship and Sakura crossing the finish line.

But just as she turned around, she was suddenly stunned. The black car parked behind her disappeared, and not only the car disappeared, but even the surrounding environment seemed to have changed vaguely.

"strangeness?"

Tomoyo looked around in confusion, and at this moment, the sound of running was suddenly heard.

When she looked up, Xia Yu appeared in front of her again.

Since they had to turn back at the turning point of the cherry blossom avenue, it seemed no problem to see it again, but Tomoyo still found something strange.

That was the direction. Xia Yu seemed to be running from the same direction both times.

"Hey, Tomoyo."

Xia Yu waved to Zhishi, and when he was about to leave after saying hello, Zhishi suddenly shouted, "Wait a moment, Xia classmate."

"Ok?"

Hearing Zhishi's shout, although Xia Yu felt a little strange, he slowed down his pace and then stopped.

He looked back in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Xia, something seems to be wrong here."

"Something's wrong?"

Seeing that Zhishi looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, Xia Yu frowned slightly.

Chise has always had a keen sense, and since she said something was wrong...

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu carefully observed his surroundings. During this observation, he also sensed some indescribable sense of disharmony.

Although the surrounding scenery seems normal at first glance, a closer look reveals that the surrounding buildings seem to be spliced ​​together.

Something is wrong. It's 100% or even 90% wrong!

"Xia, maybe it's because you were running forward and didn't notice..."

Zhishi saw Xia Yu looking around and hurried over to explain, "But in fact, you ran from the direction you came from both times just now."

"The direction you came from?"

Xia Yu was shocked. He had just passed the turning point. According to the route, he should have run back from the opposite direction. How could it be possible that he ran in the same direction both times?
"Are you sure? Tomoyo!"

"Ok!"

Zhi Shi nodded heavily: "I am sure, Xia, you did run from the same direction twice."

"Tsk, is this a ghost wall?"

Xia Yu let out a light sigh. This strange phenomenon of walking back to the same place without noticing made him think of the horror story of the haunted house.

But all the strange phenomena in Sakura's world can be explained by magic, and he just noticed that there are problems with the surrounding buildings. Could it be...

"Could it be that another Clow Card has appeared?"

Zhishi suddenly said what Xia Yu was thinking. Hearing this, Xia Yu nodded.

"It's very likely, otherwise there's no way to explain this strange phenomenon."

After all, when strange phenomena occur in Tomoeda Town, all you have to do is guess the Clow Cards, and you will always get it right.

"Then what should we do? Sakura isn't here either."

Suddenly, an unknown Clow Card appeared, and Chishi was trapped inside it. He became anxious, which was unusual for him.

The main reason is that Sakura is not here, because they all know that only Sakura can seal the Clow Cards.

Without Sakura, even if they could find the Clow Cards, they might not be able to get out.

Realizing that Zhishi seemed a little scared, Xia Yu put his hands on Zhishi's shoulders, forced him to look at him, and smiled slightly.

"Don't panic, I'm still here."
