The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 569 What's this strange mechanism?

Inside the classroom.

Xia Yu dodged the attacks of his other self. Although the other self possessed quite strange abilities, he himself did not seem to be that strong.

Even if he was distracted and thinking, he could easily see through the movements of his other self, and then move his body slightly to the side, easily avoiding the blade.

While hiding, Xia Yu suddenly had an idea. If tangible objects can be turned into words, then what about intangible objects?
The Western sword he summoned was a tangible object. If he had used an intangible object like Liufeng directly, perhaps the opponent would have been unable to touch it and would have failed.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu pulled back, raised his hand and gathered the flowing wind in his hand, transforming it into an invisible flowing wind sword.

The invisible wind element flowed over it, and a breeze blew, blowing the corners of the two people's clothes and making the atmosphere increasingly cold.

Swish-!
There was no provocation before the battle, nor any arrogant words. In an instant, Xia Yu rushed forward, flashed forward, and stabbed another self with a sword.

Since the flowing wind is invisible, the sword naturally leaves no trace. Even if one wants to block with the sword in advance, one cannot see the position of the blade clearly.

Seeing this, Xu Xia Yu raised his lips slightly: "I am worthy of you for coming up with this idea. Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. Invisible things also have their own names."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xia Yu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed a paper-white square from the air, and as expected, the word "wind" was printed on the top of the square.

Xia Yu: “???”

"Really? This works too!"

Xia Yu looked at his suddenly empty hands in astonishment. The Liufeng Sword that he had just held in his hand disappeared just like that.

This is actually a conceptual ability! ?
"Why not, what you said?"

Xu Xia Yu tossed the block "Wind" in his hand and grinned: "After all, something like wind also has its own name, and if it has a name, it can naturally become a word."

"Tsk..."

Xia Yu sighed lightly and was secretly worried. This was too unreasonable. If there was a name, it could become a word. Did he have to find something that had no name?
But even nothing has the name "nothing".

It’s better to say that there is nothing without a name in the world. Even though the world is so big and full of wonders, there may be things without names in the world, but the key is that he doesn’t have one, right?

What should I do? Give in? Or say I was joking and just get along peacefully?
"Forget it, I'll give it back to you."

On the other side, Xu Xia Yu played with the "Wind" block in his hand and suddenly threw it forward.

In an instant, the paper-white square disappeared, and several wind blades appeared out of thin air, tearing through the air and attacking Xia Yu.

Xia Yu frowned slightly when he saw this, and without waiting for the wind blade to get close to him, he waved his hand and turned the wind blade into a breeze blowing on his face.

Although he was not good at attacking, he was definitely good at defending.

With all the abilities he possesses, it's really hard to defeat him, unless it's someone as unreasonable as Sakura.

Thinking back to the last time he and Sakura were playing and fighting, Sakura had wiped out all the thoughts in his mind, and he fell into a state of blindness and stupidity.

and many more?

Blind and stupid!

Xia Yu's eyes lit up. Yes, he has this trick. He also has the ability to eliminate cards.

Even if you can't make your other self disappear directly, you can try to eliminate its consciousness and thoughts, and then defeat it.

"Huh? Are you scared?"

When Xu Xia Yu saw Xia Yu dissipate the wind blade, he just stood there in a daze. He couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Tsk, how is that possible? You and I actually said such a thing." Xia Yu came back to his senses, curled his lips, and raised an international friendly gesture towards himself.

"That's right. With your brain, it's impossible that you can't think of a solution." Xu Xia Yu chuckled and pointed the knife at Xia Yu from a distance.

"Is that a compliment?"

"A compliment? No, I'm just telling the truth."

"Tsk..."

Hearing this, Xia Yu didn't know how to evaluate himself. Was this really him? And not someone pretending to be him?
I always feel that his personality is weird and not very like him.

"Forget it. Even if you compliment me, I won't hold back." Xia Yu secretly mobilized the power of card elimination and stared closely at the eyes of his other self.

However, Xu Xia Yu couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Hold back? Are you sure you don't want me to hold back?"

Xia Yu: "..."

Okay, confirmed, it's really him.

"what?"

Suddenly, Xu Xia Yu let out a light exclamation, raised his hand and stroked his hair, and as his hand fell, a paper-white square appeared in his hand.

"remove"!
Watching the cube in his hand disappear, Xu Xia Yu looked at Xia Yu in surprise and said in astonishment: "You kid, you actually used this method? You are really insidious and cunning."

Xia Yu: "..."

Xia Yu didn't want to complain, he just wanted to curse.

"You almost succeeded, luckily I'm more skilled than you." Xu Xia Yu chuckled and tossed the cube in his hand to make it disappear.

"This word is great. Disappear, eliminate, and destroy are all the same. Thanks for the word, buddy."

"cut……"

Xia Yu curled his lips. He thought he could succeed, but the guy on the opposite side had no skills or numbers, it was purely a mechanism. This was too shameless.

Who designed this weird mechanism? It's totally unreasonable!
"Okay, let's continue."

Xu Xia Yu looked at Xia Yu, who had an ugly expression on his face, and “disappeared” the cube in his hand, and encouraged him: “You can definitely think of a way to defeat me. After all, you are me.”

"...I always feel like your sincere words are a mockery."

Xia Yu complained speechlessly, then cheered himself up again. Giving up after failure is not like him.

……

At the same time, in the locker room.

Sakura, who wanted to inform Li Syaoran first, trotted here, hurriedly pushed open the door of the locker room, and hurriedly ran to the iron locker.

After finding her own locker along the iron cabinet, she quickly opened it and took out her bag inside.

The bag contained her changed clothes and some sundries, and the cell phone she always carried with her was also placed inside the bag.

But Sakura looked everywhere, even turned her bag over, but couldn't find her cell phone at all, which made her panic.

"Ugh—where's my phone!?"

"Are you looking for your phone?"

Suddenly, another familiar voice was heard in the locker room.

When Sakura heard the voice, her pupils widened slightly and she quickly turned her head to look. At the other end of her sight, another her appeared in front of her.

"hello."

The other Sakura smiled and waved, appearing quite polite.

“你、你是谁！？”

Seeing her other self again, Sakura screamed and stepped back repeatedly, her face full of fear.

There she is again, another her!

"I?"

The other Sakura smiled and said, "I am you, but I am the imaginary you and you are the real you."

"Illusion?" Sakura was stunned and said stupidly: "So you are not a ghost doppelganger? You won't destroy my life? Take away the most important thing to me? And then replace me in the end?"

Hollow Sakura: “…”

Is her imagination so rich?

"I never said I was going to do this, okay?"

Xu Xiaoying covered her forehead helplessly: "I don't know whether to say that you are too timid or that you have too rich imagination. Besides, I am not a weirdo."

"Huh? Then who are you?" Sakura asked stupidly.

"I've already said that I am you, it's just that one is real and the other is fake."

"Real or fake?"

Sakura looked puzzled and shook her head, "No, then how did you show up? Is it because of me?"

"You guess?"

Xu Xiaoying smiled mischievously, but did not give a direct answer. Facing Xiaoying's gaze, she suddenly took out a cell phone and shook it: "But, look at what this is?"

"Ah! My phone!"

Sakura exclaimed, and asked anxiously: "Um, can you please give it back to me?"

"No."

Xu Xiaoying tossed the phone and put it back in her pocket, then gave Xiaoying a wicked smile: "If you want it, then come and get it yourself, you know the rules."

"Rules? What rules?"

Xiaoying asked stupidly, what does it mean that she understands this rule? Is this person in front of her really her? Why is her personality completely different from hers?

"The rules are..."

Hollow·Sakura raised her hand and waved at Sakura, "Come and defeat me, and the phone will be yours!"

"Eh heh heh!?"

Facing Hollow Sakura's invitation to fight, Sakura was shocked and quickly shook her head and said, "I don't want to. Also, why do we have to fight all of a sudden?"

"That's a good question. I'll tell you if you beat me."

Hollow Sakura was still mysterious, but when she saw that Sakura didn't want to fight, she suddenly reached out and slapped the iron cabinet next to her, choosing to take the initiative to attack.

In a flash, the iron cabinet she touched turned into two paper-white cubes without any warning, and the things inside the cabinet fell to the ground due to gravity.

Seeing this, Xiaoying opened her mouth subconsciously. Why did the iron cabinet suddenly disappear? What were those two white squares? Were they Chinese characters?

Before Sakura could react, Hollow Sakura had already grabbed the two white paper cubes that appeared out of thin air, and the two cubes had the words "iron" and "cabinet" written on them respectively.

He casually put away the square "iron", and seeing that Sakura was still staring at him blankly, Sakura raised the square "cabinet" and waved it. With a light rub, the "cabinet" split into two, becoming "wood" and "giant".

She held up the block of "wood" in her hand, smiled at Sakura, and squeezed it hard. In an instant, vines flowed out from between her fingers.

boom--!
The emerald green vines spread out and instantly expanded into snake-like branches, rushing towards Sakura and wrapping around her.

A loud rumbling sound was heard throughout the place, and Sakura, who was in a daze, was awakened by this sudden attack.

The locker room was small and it would be too late to turn around and run away. Although I didn't want to fight, my other self obviously didn't think so.

Thoughts raced, and Sakura subconsciously took out her crystal key. Without even having time to recite the spell, she unlocked it as the Dream Wand and immediately took out a card and clicked on it.

"reflection!"

Ding!
Magic power surged on the surface of the card, and the light blue reflective card revealed its true form in less than half a second, flapping its butterfly wings to reveal a spherical shield, completely protecting Sakura.

And at the moment when the majestic trees moved forward, the surface of the spherical shield rippled and trembled, emitting bright light.

With a swish, the trees that were spreading and attacking were reflected back without any surprise, and the target of the entanglement instantly changed from Sakura to Hollow Sakura.

The situation immediately reversed, but facing the attack she launched, Xu·Sakura was not in a hurry. She squatted down, stretched out her hand and slapped the floor, and the floor turned into two square characters.

She raised her hand and split the word "板" into two parts, then lifted up the word "反". No special effects appeared, but at the moment the tree touched the square "反", it was miraculously bounced back.

“Ehhhhh——!?”

Seeing this, Sakura, who was hiding behind the shield, had no idea what was going on. The person opposite her didn't even use magic, so why did the trees bounce back?

Besides, the reflective shield on her side hasn't disappeared yet, so there will be no result at all if she keeps going back and forth like this, right?

Before Sakura could figure out why, Hollow Sakura took out the original character "铁" and split it into two, becoming "钅" and "失".

She looked up at Sakura and smiled at her with narrowed eyes, then gently threw the block. The paper-white block drew a curved parabola and landed precisely above the reflective shield that wrapped Sakura.

Snapped!
At the moment when the cube "lost" and the shield collided, a halo of light flowed, but unexpectedly, the reflective shield failed to reflect the cube back, but suddenly twisted, flashed and disappeared.

"Disappeared!?"

Sakura was dumbfounded, while Hollow Sakura smiled softly: "It's not disappearing, it's losing."

The next second, the binding trees were close, and like a snake, they bound Sakura, who had lost her shield, tightly in place.

"Woo..."

Sakura, who was bound badly, frowned and tried to struggle, but she found that the trees were wrapping around her tighter and tighter, making her completely unable to move.

"What a shame, it seems like I won."

Hollow Sakura shook his head regretfully, reaching out to touch the tree that occupied the entire locker room, and slowly walked towards Sakura.

"Uh...what do you want to do?"

Sakura looked at her other self getting closer and closer, and fear appeared on her face. The strange story in her mind resurfaced once again.

Is she going to be replaced?!
"Sakura--!"

But in the next second, the door of the locker room was suddenly pushed open, and Li Xiaolang rushed in with a sword in hand.

"Little Wolf!?"

Sakura looked on with delight, her fear instantly turning into surprise.

"Little Wolf?"

Xu Xiaoying looked at Li Xiaolang in surprise. Why did Xiaolang suddenly appear here? The cell phone was obviously with her, and the other her had no chance to notify Xiaolang.

"Two... Sakura?"

Looking at the two Sakura in the locker room, Li Syaoran, who rushed in with a nervous look on his face, was dumbfounded.

He looked at Sakura who was tied up by the tree, then looked at Hollow Sakura on the other side. He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly walked up to Sakura and pointed his sword at Hollow Sakura.

"Little Wolf..."

Seeing this, the bound Sakura was deeply moved. Virtual Sakura was also a little surprised and couldn't help asking: "How do you know I'm virtual?"

"intuition."

Li Syaoran answered coldly, and swung his sword backhand, cutting off the roots of the tree that bound Sakura like a sharp knife cutting tofu, and then confronted Hollow Sakura again.

"Who are you? Why do you look like Sakura!?"

"Because I'm also Sakura~"

With her hands behind her back, Xu Xiaoying squinted at Li Xiaolang and smiled, tilting her head slightly: "Xiaolang, do you want to swing your sword at me?"
