The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 457 The Book of Time
"Wait? I think I touched a book."

Sakura exclaimed softly, stretched out her index finger and traced the empty space again, feeling the uneven texture. She said in surprise: "Sure enough, the book is still here."

"But I can't see anything." Tomoyo looked at the place where Sakura had touched, and there was still nothing there.

"So... it's invisible?" Xia Yu also touched it directly, and then tried to pull out a book he touched.

As he did this, the book that had disappeared gradually appeared. After he completely took the book out from the invisible area, the thick book was revealed intact.

Looking at the book he had taken out, Xia Yu looked at the invisible area again and said with understanding: "It seems that something is blocking this place, which caused this invisible phenomenon."

It's a bit like an invisibility cloak is hung here, blocking the objects behind it, but while the invisibility cloak can be touched, the invisible area here cannot be touched.

"It seems there is no danger, so let's seal it."

Sakura replied, pulling out her crystal key, then held it in front of her eyes and said, "Key that holds the power of dreams, show me your true power."

"The seal is lifted!"

Magic power surges and a magic circle appears.

The small crystal key spun and expanded, and under the dazzling crystal light, its wings spread out, and the Dream Wand was immediately unsealed.

Sakura grabbed the wand in her hand and spun it handsomely, pulling the red and blue light, leaving three halos that slowly spread out.

When the wand was in hand, Sakura held the wand and pointed it at a blank space, and continued to chant: "O ownerless thing, follow the guidance of the dream wand and turn it into my power."

After saying that, he lightly pointed the tip of the magic wand, and white ripples spread in the air.

"Get the card!"

As Sakura waved her magic wand, countless crystal fragments floated out from the transparent place, and the books and bookshelves that had disappeared slowly appeared.

Countless crystals floated out like flowers scattered in the sky, dancing and swimming around the magic wand until they gathered into a whole piece of crystal.

And in that crystal, there is a curtain-like object sealed inside. When the crystal shatters, the obtained cards will fall out.

Sakura reached out to catch the falling card. The top of the card had the artistic Chinese character "透過" written on it, and the English word "LUCID" was written on the bottom. The image in the center was a tulle with a gradient of turquoise, which was quite soft and light, and there were flashes of light of different colors on it.

"Lucid...through..."

"Look, this is indeed a new card."

After reading the name of the new card, Sakura showed the card to everyone present.

Looking at this new card, Xia Yu pondered: "It seems that Xiaoying, you also have a way to become invisible, but this card seems to only make objects transparent and invisible, and cannot eliminate the spatial existence of the target object itself."

“It’s like this book. Although it’s transparent, you can still touch it. If you pull it out of its invisible position, it will become visible.”

Xia Yu waved the book in his hand and put it back on the bookshelf.

A card that is better than nothing. If this card can make the target invisible and dematerialize, it would be considered a powerful card.

If it's just about invisibility, there are many magics that can do it, and there's even a technological version of optical camouflage.

"Invisible? That will make it easier to collect the cards later."

However, unlike Xia Yu, Xiaoying was quite happy. Sometimes she couldn't let others see her collecting the cards, so it would be much more convenient with this card.

At that time, just hide yourself and the card that caused the abnormality, and then show up after the problem is solved, so you won’t be afraid of being discovered.

"Xiaoying, where are you? I brought the book."

At this moment, Akiho's voice suddenly came. Hearing this voice, Sakura hurriedly changed the wand back into a key, and then put the key and the card together.

A few seconds later, Qiu Sui trotted over with a book in her arms. When she ran in front of the people, she handed the book forward with a little excitement.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I brought the book."

"So it's this book?" Sakura asked curiously as she looked at the book that Akiho handed over and had put away the keys and cards before Akiho came.

"Yes."

Qiu Sui nodded and smiled, "This is the book. It's my favorite of all the books."

The main color of the book is white. The cover does not have the title or other text, only an image composed of clocks and gears.

Looking at this slightly strange book, Zhi Shi was also a little curious and said, "There is no title."

"Well, the title isn't on the cover. Actually, the book is called Alice in the Clock Kingdom."

"Alice in the Clock Kingdom?"

"Isn't it Dreamland?"

"no."

Facing the doubts of others, Qiu Sui shook her head and explained: "Although the author of Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass is not the same person, this book is equally interesting."

"I see. It's a completely different book."

Sakura went forward to take a look, but when she saw the clock on the cover, she suddenly felt that the clock looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

As she was looking at it, Sakura subconsciously took the book. Akiho looked at Sakura who seemed a little dazed and asked in confusion, "Sakura-san?" "Ah, sorry, it's so beautiful, I accidentally got mesmerized by it."

Sakura smiled sheepishly, then flipped open the book and asked, "What kind of story is it?"

However, when the book is opened, the text inside is completely different. It is neither English nor Japanese, and it can even be said that it is not any language in the world.

Looking at the incomprehensible text, Sakura was stunned for a moment and said, "I... I don't understand. What language is this?"

"I am not sure as well."

Qiu Sui shook her head, met the gazes of others, and chuckled, "But someone taught me how to read it, so I can understand the general idea."

"That's amazing, Akiho."

"No, you're too kind."

"Can I take a look?" Xia Yu looked at the book in Xiaoying's hand and asked.

"Okay."

Xiaoying handed the book over, Xia Yu took it and started flipping through it. After flipping through a few pages, he was sure that the characters in the book were not any of the characters he knew.

But at this moment, the system prompt suddenly popped up.

[Master, this book can be analyzed. It is a very powerful magic prop. ]

"Hmm? Magic props? Tell me more about them."

【Yes! 】

[The real name of this book is the Book of Time. It records the time people have spent. If you use forbidden magic, you can rewrite the record and change reality accordingly.]

"!!!"

Hearing this, Xia Yu was shocked. Isn't this book a history book?
The Book of Time is a magical device that records history in "The Adventures of Jackie Chan". It records the passage of time and history of all the years in the world of "The Adventures of Jackie Chan".

And if the records are tampered with, then no matter who they are or how strong they are, it will be rewritten in the history books, which is almost equivalent to the existence of a script.

If the Book of Time also has this ability, then it must be analyzed no matter what. But how come such an important book is with Akiho?

And does this Book of Time really have the same powerful power as the Book of Years? It always feels a little unreal.

Xia Yu, with his thoughts churning, couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure? If this could really change history, why would it be placed here so casually? Shouldn't there be many people fighting for it?"

[Master, it is not about changing history, but about rewriting the records in the book. ]

"Does it make any difference?"

[There is a difference. To rewrite history, you just need to change it directly, but to rewrite records, you need to record them first and then rewrite them.]

"..."

[This book of time requires you to first record what you want to rewrite, then make a wish to rewrite it, then activate forbidden magic to pay the price, and finally rewrite reality. ]

"……So complicated."

Looking at the Book of Time in his hand, Xia Yu suddenly felt a little disgusted. It was so troublesome to rewrite reality. He had to record and pay a price. What kind of magic prop was this?

He might as well exchange it for a nine-ring spell [Prayer], at least this one is much simpler and clearer.

The Nine-Ring Incantation Prayer is the most powerful spell that any mortal creature can cast. By simply speaking out one's wish, one can manipulate the foundation of the real world.

This change in reality has no limitations and no side effects. There is even a legendary spell [Rewrite History] above this nine-ring spell.

Rewriting history is an eleven-ring transmutation spell that can rewrite a timeline at will, also without any restrictions. Once used, it can change any event that occurred within 500,000 years ago, and thereby produce a single, wide-ranging and lasting change in the present.

In addition to DnD spells, he can also choose spells from other worlds that change reality. A mere Book of Time...

“How long will the analysis take?”

Of course, you have to do it in vain. As a hamster player, you will collect what you can. If you can't collect it, at least you have to keep it as a souvenir.

[It may take a long time, Master. It may take a year.]

"???"

"This is too long..."

[In fact, you can also use sunlight value to speed up. 】

"Forget it, it's not worth it. I have the sunlight value to speed up, why don't I just exchange it for a wish scroll?"

Xia Yu closed the Book of Time in his hand and returned it to Qiu Sui, but while doing so, he still asked with some curiosity.

"Akiho, where did you get this book?"

"This book was given to me by Mr. Kaito."

Qiu Sui held the book in her arms with a gentle smile on her face: "This is a gift from Mr. Kaito. He said that this book is very precious and hopes that I can keep it well."
