Clow Cards Cardcaptor

The night was like water, and Shui Linlang's words were so soft that people couldn't hear her. She glanced at the young man standing silently at the door, raised her blue eyes and smiled lowly:

"Also, if you ask me this question, do you feel disgust and regret for yourself, who obviously injured him severely enough, but did not follow the advice of the night watchman and chose to kill him?"

The young man stood silently at the door of the garden, listening to her words, recalling the scene that night in the narrow room, under the ice marks, when all the outer court cabinets were annihilated, and the strongest night watchman stood in front of him.

...

‘You have completely injured him, and his injuries will not heal for decades to come. I will take him back to Ziye, and Ziye promises you that he will not appear in front of you again. ’

‘Get out of the way. ’

...

"If it hadn't been for him, Ling wouldn't have forced herself into hibernation during the restaurant attack in Los Angeles, and senior Xia Yao wouldn't have almost died at the concert, leading to the current situation, and last month..."

"Everyone in the bureau, whether it's Qing Ning, Sister Xushu, or even Brother Suqun, really died once, and Sister Ye Sheng was forced into such a desperate situation..."

Then he spoke softly, holding the silver broken dragon tooth and slowly raised his head, his eyes returned to calmness and silence.

"So I said, even if it happens again, I will still kill him."

No matter the cost, even if he is your old friend.

"Even if you are disgusted and scared by the fact that you killed someone, so much so that you would ask me such a question today?"

Listening to his decisive words, and thinking about the young man's feat of burning anger that night last month, Shui Linlang sighed softly, and asked softly with a complex and distressed expression about him who could already say such words.

His body trembled, and Fangran's eyes wavered.

He took a deep breath, not letting his voice fluctuate to reveal his emotions.

He nodded silently with calm eyes.

"Oh, yes."

Facing an ancient participant whose life experience far exceeded his own, his thoughts were immediately seen through.

Yes, why would he say that to Shui Linlang? Arakawa was clearly the person he was determined to kill no matter what.

Looking back on that night, in the final analysis, it was because he rejected Yongtu's proposal and felt guilty for killing Arakawa, who had no power to resist.

Self-loathing, regret, helplessness, all kinds of complex emotions intertwined into anxiety, which made him finally question Shui Linlang as if he was shirking responsibility.

'Why didn't you stop him? ’

He obviously did these things because of you. If you stopped him... I wouldn't have to... I wouldn't have to...

So this was the reason, this was the reason why he couldn't control his emotions and questioned Shui Linlang. Fangran felt that he was not as kind as Shui Linlang said,

Don't let that falsehood be buried that night. In the final analysis, Fangran knew that these were actually just false self-satisfaction to escape the sin.

As a result, what was learned was that,

Shui Linlang couldn't leave this place at all.

"Sorry, I asked some unnecessary questions."

With calm and low words, the tall figure wearing the Night Parade swung the silver broken dragon tooth in his hand, put it away, and canceled the ability of [Scale Card],

Since there is no answer, there is no need to judge whether it is true or false.

I really asked a boring question...

But maybe after hearing Shui Linlang chuckle and say "I don't love him" in the face of all this, after learning that even though she had spent half a century, she didn't know that she couldn't leave here at all,

The last low and lonely question was really out of the feeling of worthlessness towards Arakawa.

It comes from the man who always appears in his nightmares and has silently sacrificed for half a century even if he is paranoid, which touches him on the topic of 'love'.

"Are you going back?"

At the edge of the garden balcony, Shui Linlang looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Well, I've said all the things I wanted to ask, I'm going back."

As the young man turns around,

Night Patrol swayed slightly, Shui Linlang looked at his back, lowered her eyes and spoke softly:

"You have already stepped into that world, but you still want to go back?"

The steps he was about to take stopped, and Fangran who was about to leave was frozen in place by these words.

"You didn't accept the offer to become a night watchman. You chose to stay on that night. You paid so much and paid such a high price. Do you still want to go back?"

Shui Linlang looked at the young man's back. Even though she had lived for a century, she was shocked by the last night last month.

It was originally a complicated situation where all parties were intertwined and fighting to the death, but it was incredibly saved by the young man in front of me.

Even if he wanted to plant a reminder to the people in the Night Bureau and hoped that Li Ze would reveal his flaws and let him join the Night Bureau's back-up plan as Night Crow,

It was also resolved by this overly cautious and smart child using unknown means.

Lift your arms, hook your fingers upward,

A completely transparent core suddenly appeared in the center of the garden.

"This is the damaged core data from Midnight's investigation of Li Ze. It is a magic energy external core specially created for you. You can take it away at any time, and the last proposal is still valid for you."

"if..."

Slowly rising, the completely transparent core emitted incredible light, illuminating the dark golden patterns on his evening gown. After hearing Shui Linlang's words,

Fangran's voice was silent for a moment, and then he murmured slightly in ecstasy:

"That night, I agreed to become a night watchman. What will happen in the end?"

Shui Linlang was silent for a moment, then looked at the night sea of ​​flowers outside and slowly said:

"Then Ye Sheng will escape back to the night station to prepare for the pursuit of Arakawa and Yaohe, waiting for Yongtu's support, and Adrian will be restrained by Ling Feng at Dongjiang Port,"

Listening to the prophet talking about a completely different development from that night, Fangran felt as if it was the same incredible bifurcation of fate as the real scene that night.

"What about the others?"

His voice was dull and emotionless, as if he just wanted to ask out of curiosity.

"The Alchemist and the Magician will be in a tough battle as they face the two members of the association and the demon dwarf army composed of C-class and D-class participants. Qing Ning may be captured by the association, or she may be rescued. ,"

"We don't know whether Meng Lang and Qingzhi will arrive in time, and Su Qun is seriously injured. We don't know whether Hua Ling can wait until Si Ai arrives..."

softly recounting another possibility of that night, Shui Linlang slowly closed her eyes and gently shook her head:

"I can't be sure of the outcome of what didn't happen, but overall, Midnight was restrained by the lose-lose situation of Night Bureau and Nishui, and the Evernight Palace and the Association further achieved their goals,"

The faint blue color in her pupils also slowly dissipated. Shui Linlang looked at the young man who saved that night and slowly said:

"That should be a result that is not as good as the price you paid."

He raised his head silently, seeming relieved and relieved, and the two of them seemed to have exchanged words.

"Is it...."

Then the dark young man opened the door and walked out.

Shui Linlang was the only one left in the garden. The completely transparent core didn't even look back at it until Fangran left.

Seeing the young man leaving so directly, there was silence for a few seconds. Finally, Shui Linlang looked at the core floating in the center of the garden,

He let out a long sigh.

Did it still fail...

Thinking like this, Shui Linlang suddenly saw an abnormal darkness where Fangran was standing.

And then right now!

In the garden at night, except for the open-air balcony where Shui Linlang is,

In an instant, the auditorium-like garden was suddenly surrounded by the spread of darkness and sealed into a pitch-black box!

Without warning, fear struck.

It's blurry, but you can still see that Yaoye, where Fangran was standing just now,

A dark silhouette of a female figure appeared suddenly and silently, terrifyingly.

Looking at the direction where Fangran pushed the door and left, with her back to Shui Linlang, 'she' said with an enchanting, seductive smile:

"Come interfere with my puppet again and say unnecessary things..."

But all I could hear was the madness and coldness in it. I turned my head,

'She' seemed to be looking at Shui Linlang:

"I will kill you too."

The moment the words fell, the power dissipated, and all the darkness surrounding the garden disappeared.

The garden in the night regained its tranquility and serenity.

Shui Linlang stood on the edge of the balcony without being surprised. She seemed to have guessed the scene in front of her. She sighed lowly, thinking about what she told Fangran in order to let the 'Ye Crow' join the night game.

"Alas...Have you been discovered?"

He shook his head slowly, then raised his arm to take back the completely transparent core, holding it in his hand and looking at it in trance.

Feeling his own powerlessness and guilt that he could not do anything to help the young man, the prophet could not answer all the questions.

For example, the reason for her imprisonment and the truth about Xia Yao's involvement in the scene. She really didn't know who it was, but...

"Because I stayed that night, did I attract the attention of another S...-[DATA EXPUNGED]-?"
