Chapter 209: Principal, Mask, Hunter, Panda

Anweil ​​lives in a small town in the Snow Country. She is nine years old. Every Christmas, she likes to sneak into the attic of her house after her parents fall asleep, open the window, climb onto the roof, and stare at the starry sky in a trance.

At this time, joyful Christmas songs can be heard throughout the town.

On Christmas Day of that year, Anweil ​​climbed up to the eaves of the attic as usual, sat down on her skirt, wrapped her scarf tightly, and stared at the sky with her clear eyes.

She swung her legs suspended in the air and hummed a Christmas song softly. Her voice was clear and transparent, like the echo of a snowy mountain.

"...We broke through the blizzard..."

"...We are on a sled..."

"... galloping across the fields..."

"...always accompanied by laughter..."

"…The horsetail bells are ringing…"

"...how joyful the spirit is..."

"...I had fun skiing tonight..."

"... sing the skiing song..."

"... Ding-dong, ding-dong..."

"...Jingle Bells..."

Anwei's ears turned red from the wind. She exhaled gently and stretched out her arms, as if she wanted to embrace the cold winter sky and the gorgeous stars in the sky.

Today, something strange happened in the town.

Four Asians came to the town. It was clear that it was difficult to see a passerby in this town for so many years, but today four of them came at once, and they were Asians who came from far away.

They call themselves "Travelers" and like to explore all kinds of secret places. They have no names. One calls himself "Principal", one calls himself "Mask", one calls himself "Hunter", and one calls himself "Panda".

The principal is an Asian boy who looks about 18 years old. He is very tall, taller than many people in the town, and has a handsome face. His brown eyes are hard to forget after just one look.

Mask was the oldest of the four. His temperament reminded Anweil ​​of the words he had seen in some translated versions of Chinese literature - "gentle as jade, a graceful gentleman", which perfectly fit Anweil's fantasy of Asians.

The hunter is a boy with dyed blue hair. He carries a long bag on his back and looks like a soft lamb who may fall asleep at any moment.

Panda is an Asian girl with delicate and cute looks. Her little fangs that show when she smiles are very adorable. Anweil's parents like her very much and even invite her to live in their home.

These four travelers from foreign lands seemed to be asking about "Christmas" from house to house, asking whether anything strange had happened in previous Christmases.

But in this icy place, no one would pay attention to them. After hearing these nonsense, the residents of the town avoided them as much as possible, so the travelers were largely turned away.

The hotels in the town did not welcome these strange travelers. Only Anweil's family would welcome them, and her parents let them stay at their home.

Anweier wanted to talk to them, but was a little scared, so she locked herself in the room, occasionally opening the door a crack and secretly observing their figures.

Only the man who called himself "Principal" turned around and smiled at her.

At that time, An Weier was frightened. She thought her actions were secretive enough and did not make any sound, but she was still discovered by the traveler.

Anweil ​​was folding paper cranes in the room, waiting for the uninvited guests to leave, but as she waited, time passed until night came, and the four travelers also went to the room to rest.

No matter what, after twelve o'clock, today will be the annual Christmas, and she doesn't want to waste this great and beautiful night sleeping.

In fact, Anweil ​​has a secret in her heart. Every Christmas, she can always see an old man wearing a red Christmas hat and a big red cotton coat riding a sleigh flying from the sky.

The sleigh was pulled by two reindeer. They looked very cute and their cries were very ethereal.

On Christmas of the previous year, Anweil ​​met Santa Claus. He flew to the roof of Anweil's attic, laughed loudly, and told Anweil ​​that all the Christmas gifts for this year had been distributed, and he would prepare another Christmas gift for her next year. He also let the little reindeer rub Anweil's hand with his head as compensation.

Santa Claus told her to abide by the agreement and not tell other children or adults about this. Anweil ​​nodded vigorously, thinking that she would never break her promise.

Last year, several times when Christmas was approaching, she was so excited that she wanted to tell her friends around her that Santa Claus was coming and that he had promised to give her gifts this year.

But every time, An Weier held back. If she didn't keep her promise, Santa Claus might not come, she thought.

Soon, the Snow Country Town ushered in last year's Christmas, the day she had been waiting for a year.

Anweil ​​stayed on the roof for a long time that day. She held her teddy bear and stared at the sky with anticipation, thinking that if Santa Claus gave her a gift, she would also give Santa Claus a gift.

The moon rose and set in the snowy town, and Santa Claus still did not appear until the sunrise in the early morning. Her face and ears were baked red by the cold wind, and her eyes were also red, but she stared at the sky so persistently and firmly, thinking that Santa Claus would definitely come, he would definitely come.

But Santa Claus did not come that Christmas. Anweier took a leave of absence and did not go to school. She caught a cold and slept at home for a long time.

After waking up, she felt that the whole world had changed, as if she had grown up. Every day was boring with classes and going home, and there was nothing to look forward to.

Anweier even doubted whether the Christmas that year was just a dream.

Time flies, and another year has passed since last Christmas.

In fact, Anweil ​​had no illusions in her heart for a long time, but the arrival of the four travelers suddenly gave her a different kind of confidence.

Are they asking about "Christmas"? Why is that? Is it because Santa Claus is coming again?

Thinking of this, An Weier's heart was ignited with an unknown emotion. Late at night, she opened the room, confirmed that the travelers and her parents were asleep, and climbed to the roof of the attic alone.

"Santa Claus, will you come?"

After Anweil ​​finished singing the Christmas song, the tip of her nose was a little red and her little face was like an apple. Her voice was so light and ethereal, like an echo from the bottom of a snowy valley, rippling in the wind and snow.

Half an hour later, her face and arms were frozen, and the cold wind was causing pain in her ears, as if they were being pricked by a needle. She shivered all over and curled up like a hedgehog.

"fraud."

"fraud."

"fraud."

Anweir pursed her lips, her eyes were misty, and her eye sockets were gradually filled with red.

Not long after, there was a sudden sound of thunder in the sky. The sound was so far away, yet it seemed to be getting closer and closer, as if a thundercloud was approaching.

"It... thundered?"

Anwei's shoulders trembled, and she raised her head and stared blankly at the sky.

She saw two reindeer breaking through the clouds, pulling a sleigh towards them. An old man in a green Christmas coat was sitting on the sleigh, carrying a large bag on his back, and there was a nameless fire in his eyes.

An Weier slowly opened her eyes, her tender little face full of joy. She shouted to the sky: "I knew you didn't lie to me! I knew it!"

The next moment, Santa Claus stood up, and his crazy laughter resounded in the sky, like the opening ceremony of a grand performance. He took out gift boxes from the bag behind him and scattered them all over the town.

"Santa Claus is here to give presents!" An Wei'er's face was red, and her eyes were as bright as lake water. "Santa Claus is here to give me presents!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The sudden explosion froze Anwei's excited expression in the cold air. She seemed to be trapped in a dead sea, and her excitement suddenly cooled down.

People screamed, howled, and cried one after another. The horrible disaster spread like a tidal wave. Santa Claus was still cheering and dropping gifts. Every time a gift box fell, there would be a loud explosion, and at the same time, a house would be engulfed in flames.

Anweil ​​hugged the doll tightly, shook her head and backed away, but her back bumped into someone.

She turned around and saw the four travelers who were staying at her house temporarily - the principal, the mask, the hunter, and the panda. And the person she bumped into was a boy with brown eyes, who called himself "the principal".

The boy reached out and rubbed her hair, whispering, "It's okay, go back and rest." After that, he looked up at the sky, looking at Santa Claus who was wreaking havoc on the town.

"Haha, Santa Claus finally comes out." said the hunter lazily.

"As expected, it will only be tonight." The mask said, "I told you in advance that because I used the 'burn jade and stone together' move before, most of my jade ancient beasts are in a sealed state."

The panda patted his flat chest and said, "It's okay. Just leave it to the 'Principal'."

"What I mean is, do we have to use these weird nicknames?" the hunter was amazed.

"Shut up, Hunter."

"I hunted you first, you stinky panda."

"..." An Weier didn't say anything, just grabbed the principal's sleeve. The endless explosions like a torrential rain tore through her thoughts. Her platinum hair covered her eyes. She asked in a trembling voice: "...Can you stop him?"

The mask said gently: "Of course, that's why we are here."

Seeing Santa Claus approaching, the 'Principal' put his hands in his coat pockets, and a field as surging as the sea tide instantly unfolded, covering an area of ​​nearly fifty meters in radius.

"What's this?"

An Weier looked around in surprise and held on tighter. Suddenly, like a gust of wind and thunder, a gray dragon and a floating shark rose into the air from behind the principal at the same time.

“Bang——!!!” The sound of gunfire tore through the night sky.

The bullet, covered with deep blue light, rose into the sky like a star and hit Santa Claus without any error. The strong impact shot him off the sleigh.

At this time, the gift bag in Santa Claus's hand also fell to the ground, right above the principal's head.

The hunter was stunned: "Oh no, his pile of gifts fell down too."

"You are betraying your teammates!" The panda hit the hunter's head hard.

Anwei's pupils shrank as she looked at the gifts falling like rain, and the teddy bear in her arms fell to the ground.

At this time, the principal was not in a hurry. He gave the order: "Floating Shark King, stop him. At the same time, Dark Light Dragon, use the skill Dark Shadow Barrier on the Floating Shark King."

As the words fell, the dragon spread out gray-black energy, forming a barrier of nothingness, covering the flying shark as well. The explosion caused by the rain of gifts could not penetrate the barrier at all, but instead destroyed all the buildings within a radius of dozens of meters.

Two seconds later, the explosion continued, but the duration of the shadow barrier had ended.

The boy then gave the order: "Use the sequence skill - Chess Soul on the Floating Shark King."

The flying shark's body was instantly covered with a layer of scarlet "cloak", and it pushed upwards recklessly, and most of the aftershocks of the explosion were absorbed by its huge body.

Anwei's pupils trembled and she hid behind the principal in fear.

At this moment, a bluebird was reflected in her pupils, a bluebird that seemed to come from the other side of the world. It was breathtakingly beautiful, with black metal "V" patterns engraved on both sides of its wings.

The bluebird was flying in the sky, flapping its wings, and dropping blue light.

"So beautiful..." An Weier stared in a trance.

After the blue light rain fell, the Floating Shark King and the Dark Light Dragon both grew stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Santa Claus was laughing wildly in mid-air, and the sleigh followed him like a shadow, quickly chasing his falling figure and bringing him back in time.

But at this moment, the Dark Light Dragon roared suddenly, and a huge hole appeared in the winter sky. A stream of gray light as dark as a jungle fell down and hit the old man and the sled directly.

"Aaaaaaaah!!!" Santa Claus fell to the ground and his sleigh broke apart in an instant.

"Bang--"

The murderous and sharp sound of gunfire tore through the sky, like a straight highway, and hit the falling Santa Claus without a doubt, piercing through his body.

The hunter breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the flying shark that was struggling to hold on: "It seems it still can't hold on."

The falling gifts continued to explode, and the Floating Shark King was about to be swallowed up by tons of explosions. Even the "Chess Soul" could not save its life.

"Senior! I can heal it!" The red panda standing on the shoulder of the Chinese girl suddenly raised a bamboo, which burst out with a fluorescent green light and rushed straight towards the flying shark.

The health of the Floating Shark King temporarily increased, but it was of no use at all - it had to face an explosion that was enough to destroy the entire town!

If all those gifts were allowed to fall, everything in the snowy town would be reduced to dust.

Anweil ​​looked at the sky full of flames and heard the roar of flying sharks in her ears.

She asked softly, "Can we still be saved?"

"Of course." The principal's voice was so calm.

“Ouch—”

“Ouch—”

The blue bird disappeared, and in its place, two little black lions appeared from nowhere and turned into metal and merged into the bodies of the giant dragon and the flying shark. They fearlessly charged towards the oncoming "gift".

“Bang!!!!”

"boom--!!!"

It was like a group of falling meteors, with explosions occurring one after another.

The two little black lions turned into a black barrier and temporarily resisted the explosion. After that, the panda on the Chinese girl's shoulder kept waving bamboo, spreading fluorescent green light waves to heal the injuries of the dragon and the flying shark.

Anweier's tears kept flowing.

She lowered her eyes, looked at the doll quietly, and said softly: "Santa Claus, is this the gift you gave me?"

This difficult and protracted battle lasted for more than twenty seconds before it came to an end. However, in the eyes of the residents of the small town, it seemed as long as a century.

Finally, everything returned to silence.

The snow continued to fall, like a fool who couldn't understand the atmosphere.

An Weier lost strength in her legs and fell to the ground.

"Merry Christmas." At this moment, the principal turned his head, gently touched An Weier's hair, and handed her a small box: "This is my Christmas gift to you."
