Chapter 81 The power of time
Midnight, Tomoeda Elementary School.
The night sky has changed a little compared to yesterday. The stars are no longer bright, and there are more dark clouds blocking them.
In the bushes below the bell tower, three figures gathered stealthily.
"It really fits. It's so cute."
Tomoyo held a camera in her hand and filmed Sakura, who had already changed into her battle uniform.
This time's battle uniform is exactly the elf costume that Zhou Zhishi and Xia Yu sewed together last week. The milky white miniskirt, coupled with the green leaf-shaped wings on the back, looks smart and cute.
"It's really cute, Sakura, you've become a fairy that can fly freely in the night sky."
Xia Yu also held a camera and took pictures of Xiaoying from different angles. This dress was also his work, and the gold thread pattern on it was sewed by him.
His needlework skills were also quite good. If it weren't for the trouble, he could have embroidered a piece of Along the River During the Qingming Festival by himself.
"Woo..."
Sakura's cheeks turned slightly red when she heard Xia Yu and Zhi Shi's praise. At this moment, Xiao Ke suddenly broke into the camera domineeringly.
After all, it is a sealed beast of the Clow Cards, so it is naturally indispensable. Some of the weaknesses of the Clow Cards still need it to be explained.
Xiao Ke, who had already changed into the scraps of clothes, floated in front of Xiao Ying curiously: "Xiao Ying, how did you find the hiding place of the cards?"
"Student Li told me."
Sakura felt a little embarrassed. She was the Clow Card user, but she still needed others to tell her where the Clow Cards were hidden.
"Eh? Is that the boy named Li?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ke crossed his arms and said unhappily, "Then we have to hurry up, otherwise if that guy interferes, the cards might be taken away by him!"
"Ok!"
Sakura nodded heavily. Although she didn't mind that Li took the Clow Cards, since Kero said so, she would not be lazy.
"fly!"
After using the flying card to transform the magic wand in her hand into a flying stick, Sakura soared into the air and rushed to the top of the towering clock tower.
Seeing that Sakura had already charged towards the hidden Clow Cards, Xia Yu below reached out to Chiyo and said, "Do you want to take a picture from the best angle?"
"want!"
Zhishi smiled knowingly and took the hand that Xia Yu extended.
This time, Xia Yu did not plan to deal with the Time Card together with Xiaoying. Although he was very tempted, firstly, he had forgotten how to seal the Time Card; secondly, he would also be affected by the power of the Time Card, and he had no means to counter it, so he decided not to step forward and cause trouble.
At worst, after Sakura seals the Time Card, he can ask for it and borrow it for a day to analyze it. I believe Sakura will not refuse.
While thinking this, Xia Yu picked up Zhishi in a princess hug, then flew into the air and found a good angle to start taking pictures.
After following Chiyo in shooting for so long, he naturally gradually understood which shooting angles were the best.
On the other side, at the clock tower.
Sakura flew around the clock tower twice, looking at the dial that was about to point to midnight, her eyes narrowed.
"I feel it, it's the aura of the Clow Cards for sure!"
It wasn't until they got close to the clock tower that Sakura sensed the presence of the Clow Cards. The Clow Cards were indeed hidden in the clock tower.
But just as Sakura approached the clock tower, countless yellow-green lights burst out from the clock tower. This strange color seemed to dye the world a mixture of yellow and green.
In this world shrouded in light, the air seemed to become sticky, everything slowly stopped, and the wings on Sakura's flying staff gradually stopped flapping.
"what's up……"
Feeling that her own movements had stopped, Sakura turned her head and asked Xiaoke. Her voice also slowed down, almost jumping out word by word.
"The...flow...of...time...has...been...slowed...down..." Xiao Ke explained while holding onto Xiao Ying's shoulders tightly. His voice also became slower, and even the changes in his facial expressions became extremely slow.
Xia Yu, who was also affected, was also very surprised. This feeling of going from slow to stop...
It's you, Eye of Death!
And the color tone of this time slowing down...
There is such an anime character, he is not human, he wears yellow clothes, he has the ability to manipulate time, when he activates his ability, everything around him will turn yellow, he is very old, he is related to some kind of card with mysterious power, he was defeated by someone related to the stars, so he is...
That’s right, it’s my Clow Card Time Card!
The joke that suddenly popped up in his mind made Xia Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, but the next second, he suddenly found that his movements were going backwards, and even his previous thoughts seemed to be going backwards!
Everything around seemed to have pressed the back button, and everything was moving backwards along the original trajectory until it returned to the moment before approaching the clock tower.
If it were in a cartoon, maybe even the BGM would play backwards.
"It really fits. It's so cute."
In the bushes below the clock tower, Tomoyo was holding a camera and filming Sakura, who had already changed into her battle uniform.
Xia Yu, who was standing by, also held up a camera and filmed Xiaoying while praising her: "She is really cute. Xiaoying, you have become..."
[Report to the master, the time has been reset! ]
However, before he could finish his words, a hint suddenly popped up.
"?"
Xia Yu looked at the system prompt with a surprised look on his face. The time was reset? When?
"Sakura, did time just reset again?"
Since you don't know, then ask someone who can feel the time reset.
Hearing Xia Yu's question, Xiaoying nodded with a sad face: "Yeah, it suddenly came back before I got close."
"Eh?"
Hearing the conversation between Xia Yu and Xiaoying, Zhi Shi's originally interested expression was stunned: "The time is reset? Did the sealing of the Clow Cards just now fail?"
"Yes, that guy is the Time Card!"
Xiao Ke flew out at this time and explained: "The Time Card is the card of time. It can manipulate time freely. People without magic power cannot feel the change of time."
"Is that why I don't feel anything?" After hearing Xiaoke's explanation, Zhishi suddenly realized. He had heard Xiaoke say before that she had no magic power.
"Looking at this situation, the time card should have already been integrated with the largest clock tower in the town. If we don't seal it quickly, the time will reset at midnight!"
"Time reset?"
Sakura glanced at the hand that was about to point to twelve o'clock in the evening, and she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"Yes."
Xiao Ke stomped his feet in the air angrily, "My game save file is gone just like that. It made time start all over again. However, the time card can only reset the time once a day, and it needs to be at midnight. If we don't seal it quickly, we will have to go through what happened today again."
"it is good!"
Sakura nodded heavily. In order to stop the exam from continuing, she had to seal the Time Card today no matter what!
Thinking of this, Sakura threw out a flying card to unseal it, and soared up again on her magic wand.
However, the moment she just flew into the sky, the clock hands that were originally moving according to the normal time suddenly accelerated.
The sound of the pointer moving constantly seemed unusually rapid. Sakura, who noticed the abnormality, was stunned for a moment. When she was about to ask what happened, Xiaoke had already reacted.
"Oh no! It accelerated time this time!"
As soon as Xiao Ke finished her panicked words, the two pointers on the dial overlapped and zero o'clock arrived ahead of schedule.
when--!
when--!
As the bell rang, the long river of time began to flow backwards under the power of the hour markers, the dial also rotated clockwise, and everything returned to midnight.
