As Xia Yu walked away, Touya couldn't help but curl his lip and said with great disdain, "The chosen one, indeed. How can this kid say such shameful things without batting an eye?"

"What, Touya, don't you like Xia Yu?" Yukito looked at Xia Yu leaving with a cheerful expression, finding Xia Yu quite interesting.

"Well, I wouldn't say I dislike her." Touya withdrew his gaze and looked back at the intersection where the person had come from.

Why is that monster so slow? It's supposed to be a monster, but it can't even outrun an annoying brat.

A minute or two later, blurry figures finally appeared at the intersection at the end of the road.

Li Xiaolang and Li Meiling were still in the lead, while Xiaoying was close behind them. The gap between the three was very small, and if one of them accelerated, they would overtake the other two.

As Sakura and the others ran closer, Yukito waved gently and called out, "Sakura, good luck!"

Yukito Tsukishiro used Encouragement, and Sakura Kinomoto was inspired.

Outstanding effect!

In an instant, Sakura accelerated, overtaking Li Meiling and arriving next to Li Xiaolang.

Seeing that Sakura was about to overtake him, and noticing Yukito smiling gently, Li Xiaolang, who was running in the lead, was stimulated for some reason and also increased his speed.

Li Meiling, who was originally able to keep up with Li Xiaolang, fell to the very back in just a few seconds. She only managed to stay close by sheer willpower.

Now, Li Xiaolang and Xiaoying are evenly matched, and Li Meiling is considered successful if she doesn't fall behind.

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

What's wrong with these little guys? Why are they all running so fast?

Did it trigger something?

the other side.

After saying goodbye to Naoko, who was running slowly at the back, Tomoyo wanted to take a car back to the finish line so she could take pictures of Natsume winning the championship and Sakura crossing the finish line.

But as soon as she turned around, she suddenly froze.

The black sedan that had been parked behind her was gone. Not only was the car gone, but the surrounding environment seemed to have changed subtly as well.

"strangeness?"

Tomoyo looked around in confusion, just then, the sound of running footsteps suddenly came.

Looking up, Xia Yu's figure appeared before her once again.

Since they had to turn back at the bend in the cherry blossom avenue, seeing it again seemed like no problem, but Tomoyo still noticed something strange.

That's the direction; Xia Yu seemed to have run from the same direction both times.

"Yo, Tomoyo."

Xia Yu waved to Zhi Shi and was about to leave when Zhi Shi suddenly called out, "Wait a minute, Xia-kun."

"Ok?"

Hearing Tomoyo's shout, Xia Yu was a little surprised, but he slowed down and then stopped.

He turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Xia, something seems off here."

Something's not right?

Seeing that Tomoyo's expression was serious and not like she was joking, Xia Yu frowned slightly.

Tomoyo's intuition was always sharp; since she had already said something was wrong...

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu carefully observed his surroundings, and in doing so, he also noticed some inexplicable sense of unease.

Although the surrounding scenery looks normal at first glance, a closer look reveals that the surrounding buildings seem to have been pieced together.

Something's not right, not even nine-tenths right!

"Xia, it's probably because you kept running forward and didn't notice..."

Seeing Xia Yu looking around, Zhi Shi quickly came over and explained, "But actually, you ran back the way you came both times."

"The direction you came from?"

Xia Yu was startled. He had just passed the turnaround point. According to the route, he should have run back from the opposite direction. How could he have come from the same direction twice?

"Are you sure, Tomoyo?!"

"Ok!"

Tomoyo nodded emphatically: "I'm sure, Natsumi, you did come from the same direction both times."

"Tsk, is this some kind of ghost wall?"

Xia Yu clicked his tongue. This strange phenomenon of unknowingly walking back to the original place reminded him of the horror story of being trapped in a maze.

But all the strange phenomena in Sakura's world can be explained by magic, and he just noticed something wrong with the surrounding buildings, so could it be...?

"Could it be another Clow Card?"

Zhi Shi suddenly spoke out what Xia Yu was thinking, and Xia Yu nodded upon hearing this.

"Very likely, otherwise there would be 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'll be right every time.

"What should we do then? Sakura isn't here either."

Suddenly, an unknown Clow Card appeared, and she found herself trapped inside it. Tomoyo was unusually anxious.

The main reason is that Sakura isn't there, 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.

Noticing that Tomoyo seemed a little scared, Xia Yu put his hands on Tomoyo's shoulders, forcing her to look at him, and smiled slightly.

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

Chapter 121: Cut in two

"Xia..."

Feeling the power transmitted by Xia Yu, Zhi Shi exhaled and returned to her previous calm demeanor.

"You're right, I was a little nervous."

She wasn't facing these challenges alone; Xia was there to support her.

Seeing this, Xia Yu nodded and removed his hand from Zhi Shi's shoulder.

Sure enough, no matter how mature Tomoyo usually appears, she is still a little girl after all, and she will panic when faced with such a situation.

Noticing that Xia Yu had withdrawn his hand, Zhi Shi felt a strange emptiness in her heart, but the sense of security she felt beside her prevented her from being too nervous.

After calming herself down, Tomoyo prepared to contact Kero through the earpiece. She had almost forgotten that she could ask Kero for help because she was so nervous. Kero would definitely know what Clow Card it was.

The park entrance, near the library.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xiao stealthily flew into the bushes, then laboriously poked his head out, took out his small binoculars, and looked towards the park entrance.

"We're almost there. Sakura should have taken first place by now."

"coming!"

The figure that appeared in the telescope cheered Xiao Ke up. It was indeed Sakura in the lens, but unfortunately, Li Xiaolang was also closely following Sakura, and the two were evenly matched.

"That wretched brat, how can he have so much stamina? The little brat is clearly about to give up."

Xiao Ke tilted the binoculars, observing Li Meiling, who was panting heavily and staggering as she ran, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Strange, where's Xia? Damn it, has he already run off? Ahh! Go, Sakura!"

"Little Ke, can you receive this?"

Just then, Tomoyo's voice suddenly came through the earpiece. Hearing this voice, Keke casually put down the binoculars and went to the phone, which was about the same size as her body.

"Oh! This is Keroberos! Sakura has already reached first place, but I don't see Natsuki."

"I know, because Xia is next to me."

"what?!"

Hearing the unexpected answer from the earpiece, Xiao Ke was a little surprised. Why did Xia Xiaozi run back again? Did he get lost?

Haha, it knew that kid would get his comeuppance for being too arrogant!

However, just as this idea came to mind, Tomoyo's voice rang out again.

"Xia just walked past me twice, both times running from the same direction. I suspect we've encountered a Clow Card."

"What did you say?!"

Xiao Ke's round eyes widened suddenly. What incredible luck! To encounter a Clow Card while running a marathon?!

And judging from the situation, Sakura missed it?

"Hmm... let me think about it. Describe the abnormal situation to me first."

"Okay, it's like this..."
