Chapter 17
: A fleeting, astonishing display of malice!
Sakura followed closely behind Wang Changsheng, her whole body curled up like a kitten.
Wang Changsheng grabbed the broom Xiaoying had given him, while Xiaoying's hands weren't empty either; she had found a fly swatter somewhere and was holding it tightly in her hand.
As Sakura grew nervous and apprehensive, the single ahoge (cowlick) on her head kept swaying and bobbing back and forth.
Seeing Xiaoying like this, Wang Changsheng twitched his lips and slowed his pace, letting her follow nervously behind him, her little head peeking out every now and then.
The two looked around for a while, and although the sound continued to ring out, there was no other movement.
This made Sakura relax a bit.
"Look, Sakura, isn't there anyone else here?" Wang Changsheng's voice rang out in the dim and quiet underground library.
"It seems so." Sakura nodded. "But there don't seem to be any small animals."
"Well"
Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng's lips twitched. He was about to say something when suddenly...
"Swish"
A chill ran through Wang Changsheng's body, causing his brows to twitch.
That was an extremely terrifying kind of malice!
This malice, like a thorn in his back, suddenly descended, leaving Wang Changsheng frozen in place.
"Buzz"
Just as Wang Changsheng was about to summon his divine magic book, All Things, he was about to...
Suddenly, a book hidden on a bookshelf beside Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying began to shimmer with faint light.
The moment the clear light emanated from the book, the nauseating chill and slippery feeling that Wang Changsheng had experienced vanished instantly along with the light.
The malice that had just appeared seemed to be afraid of the glowing book, and had now retreated. Wang Changsheng carefully sensed it, but could not detect its presence at all.
"call"
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"What was that just now?" Wang Changsheng frowned, his mind reeling with shock. "How is this different from the original story? Could it be that Sakura felt the same way back then?"
Wang Changsheng turned around and glanced at Xiaoying.
However, at this moment, Sakura was completely absorbed by the book that was shimmering with light, as if she had not noticed the sudden malice that had just appeared.
"That's not right!"
Sakura's reaction gave Wang Changsheng the feeling that he had just had a misperception.
But when he opened his palm, he found that it was covered with a fine layer of sweat.
The feeling that made his heart race just now was definitely real.
Clearly, something had its eye on them before the Clow Book revealed its magical power.
Or rather, they've got their eyes on him.
This made Wang Changsheng's eyes narrow.
"It seems that Sakura's world is not as peaceful as I imagined."
If the Clow Book hadn't scared that thing away, it might have shown itself and attacked me!
"I wonder if my divine magic book and the World Tree sapling can help me defeat that unknown being." Wang Changsheng stroked his chin.
"However, I feel that if just one Clow Grimoire could scare the opponent away, then my God-level Spellbook should be about as powerful as the Clow Grimoire, right? Perhaps mine is even more advanced?"
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle.
Although he is not very strong now, he is just a level one mage.
However, he also had his own strengths and wasn't entirely without any trump cards.
"Hmph! Don't let me run into you again! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Wang Changsheng snorted inwardly, then immediately glanced around guiltily.
Despite his thoughts, he didn't want to encounter that fleeting, astonishing malice again. He believed that it was something he couldn't easily deal with in his current state.
"Hey Wang, this book actually glows! How amazing! (｀?д?′)"
Just then, Sakura's voice rang out with a hint of surprise.
The tone of her voice, which conveyed a sense of "what's going on?", brought Wang Changsheng back to his senses, and he shifted his attention to Xiaoying.
Sakura's gaze was fixed on the bookshelf beside them, and Wang Changsheng's gaze also fell on it.
Among the bookshelves, there was an unnamed book placed in the center of many books, which was now shining with a faint luster.
The clear light enveloped the nameless book, making it shine brightly and stand out from the crowd of books.
"Hey Wang, you saw that too, didn't you? I'm not seeing things, am I? This book really is glowing!"
Sakura's tone still carried a hint of curiosity, and she tilted her head involuntarily, her right hand reaching towards the book.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng did not stop it.
However, he quietly took a camera out of the World Tree's space and pointed it at Sakura.
Wang Changsheng believed that Tomoyo would really like this scene. Once Tomoyo discovered that Sakura was a Cardcaptor Sakura, he would definitely win her over.
Moreover, this can be considered a historical testament to Sakura's transformation into a magical girl, so Wang Changsheng felt it was very necessary to record it.

"Little Wang, come and see!" After Xiaoying took the nameless book down from the bookshelf, she called Wang Changsheng over to take a look.
However, as soon as she turned her head, she discovered that Wang Changsheng had no intention of observing the glowing book in her hand at all.
Instead, he somehow produced a camera and started filming her.
Sakura:
Message: Your friendly gesture left Sakura completely dumbfounded!
Message: You have acquired a Level 1 spell – Water Ball!
Message: Sakura Kinomoto's negative points +999
"Hey Wang, what are you doing?"
"Me? Oh, I'm recording a video!"
Wang Changsheng tilted his head, moved his head away from the camera screen, looked at Xiaoying, and smiled slightly.
Sakura:
Message: Your friendly interaction has left Sakura speechless.
Message: Sakura Kinomoto's negative points +444
Seeing Xiaoying's blank expression, Wang Changsheng paused for a moment, then sighed.
He held the camera in one hand and showed no intention of putting it down, keeping it pointed at Sakura.
Then, he turned his gaze to Sakura, and after a moment of silence, his expression gradually became serious.
"Actually, Sakura, I have to tell you something. This book in your hand seems to be a magic book."
"What?!" Upon hearing Wang Changsheng's words, Xiaoying was stunned and let out a gasp.
Her slightly harsh voice suddenly rang out, causing Wang Changsheng's carefully crafted serious expression to collapse instantly.
"Well"
Seeing Wang Changsheng's eyes twitch and he take a few steps back, Xiaoying realized what was happening and quickly covered her mouth.
"What did you say? A magic book? Little Wang, is the magic book you're talking about the one I understand?"
