Disabled Magician
After Rei Furuya left, the police in charge quickly arrived at the scene. The call to the police was made by Lucia Sofield. The person in charge of the on-site investigation came to the second floor to ask Lucia about the progress of the incident.
"This party was hosted by my brother Serral. I don't know what he was planning to do. I learned about it because of my friend's arrival. Then the robbers rushed in and asked each of us to pay 1 billion US dollars for our lives. My friend paid everyone's money, and then the robbers left, but we were still locked in the banquet hall. I don't know the rest of the story." Lucia sat upright on the sofa and answered the inspector who came to ask questions.
"Do you know where your brother Seral is now?" the inspector continued to ask, and scanned the scene, but did not find the friend Lucia mentioned.
"I don't know." Lucia shook her head, her expression calm as she looked at the inspector, but inwardly she was complaining. Of course she knew, because Seral was right there, in this room! It was just that Yueyue's magic prevented these people from seeing him.
As if realizing that answer was too brief, Lucia added, "My brother never showed up. I suspect he held the banquet just to extort the wealthy people down there. Officer, you must recover our friend's money. It's worth hundreds of billions of dollars."
Hundreds of billions of dollars. The man following the inspector exchanged glances with the inspector in charge of the inquiry, and a drop of astonishment left a sweat in their hearts. They knew that the Sofield family was an old family and relatively wealthy, but they did not expect that the Sofield family had such a rich friend.
"Excuse me, Miss Sofield, who is your friend and where is she now?" The inspector was a little skeptical whether the friend Lucia mentioned really existed. After all, they had not seen the friend so far.
Of course Yueyue went to deal with those people who had seen her man. It was not the time for Amuro Toru to appear yet. She had to use magic to erase those people's impression of Furuya Rei. These thoughts flashed through her mind. Lucia was about to speak when Shigure Yueling's voice came from outside the door. Albert, who was standing at the door, helped open the door and let the woman with long black hair in.
"Ayu, is it over?" Shi Yu Yueling looked up and met the gazes of the three people in the room at the same time, which made her look a little puzzled.
"This is my friend. Her name is Shi Yu Yue Ling." Lucia said to the inspector and his assistant behind him, pronouncing the four Chinese characters in Chinese. She also introduced Shi Yu Yue Ling at the door in Chinese, "Yue Yue, this is the officer in charge of investigating this case, Inspector Evan."
Evan tried to call Shi Yu Yue Ling by the name Lucia had mentioned, but gave up before a few syllables had escaped his lips. Instead, he said, "Miss, I'd like to know what happened today."
He was speaking English, and Shi Yu Yue Ling's mind was in a mess. She looked at Luxia, then at the man who seemed to be talking to her, with a look of confusion on her face.
"He said he had something to ask you." Luxia translated for Shiyu Yueling. Shiyu Yueling walked into the house, sat down next to Luxia, and nodded.
"Sure, go ahead and ask."
"Yueyue said I can ask. What do you want to ask?" Luxia looked at Inspector Evan with an innocent face and a faint smile on her lips.
Inspector Evan: "..." Is there a language barrier? There's not even a translator.
This difficult interrogation was completed under Lucia's retelling. Evan was exhausted. After the conversation ended, he immediately left with the assistant behind him, and Albert closed the door.
Before Lucia could speak, Shi Yu Yueling made a hushing gesture, signaling her not to talk about anything related to the incident. Lucia immediately realized that there might be something like a bug at the scene.
"It's so annoying. I don't know where that damn thing Serral has gone. Can I get the money back?" Lucia deliberately spoke in Chinese. Even if someone was really eavesdropping, she would have to find a translator, or record it first and then find a translator later.
"If you can't get it back, just complain to them." Shi Yu Yueling clicked her tongue, shrugged at Luxia and said, "KK just sent me a message and gave me an ultimatum. I must get the money back, otherwise I will have to use my pocket money to pay for it. Ayu, I'm done." She said the last sentence with particular frustration.
"Yueyue, you went to the bathroom, why did it take so long?"
"Going to the bathroom, of course it's slow. It's so late, can you rest now?"
“Okay, Albert has already arranged a room for you, I’ll take you there.”
The two of them left the second-floor living room and moved to another place to talk. After using magic to confirm that there were no eavesdropping devices around, Shi Yu Yue Ling finally relaxed.
"Among those two people, one of them shouldn't be in charge of domestic cases in the UK, right? Aren't things like eavesdropping devices usually found in the hands of agents? Could it be MI6?" Shi Yu Yueling's half-moon eyes made it difficult for her to comment on what happened today.
"I heard that the first group of police officers sent out encountered a sniper attack on the road, and the second group arrived at the scene." Lucia said to Shi Yu Yueling next to her.
Albert brought the drinks and placed them between the two ladies. He came and went silently, and kindly helped to close the door.
"No one knows it was us who did it. The surviving robbers have been hypnotized. Those who have seen Fūya Rei have also been dealt with. It's finally over." Shi Yu Yue Ling leaned back and relaxed on the recliner, looking very tired.
"Yueyue, why aren't you going with Furuya Ling?" Lucia found it a bit strange. From what she knew of Shiyu Yueling, she was the type to leave everything behind and leave on her own. Why did she change her personality after coming here? Really, she was worrying about everything. Or was it because they had only chatted online before, and their understanding was too one-sided? Was this her true character?
"In fact, the magic power is only enough to sustain one person's cross-country teleportation." Shi Yu Yue Ling sat up and said to Luxia with a bitter face: "Ayu, I'm telling you, don't tell KK and the others."
"What?" Luxia was puzzled. They had come here together, so was there anything that couldn't be told to KK, Bingbing and Jiujiu?
"Actually, I'm a Clow Magician unlike Sakura. She slowly recovered the Clow Cards, but I mastered all of them as soon as I arrived here. But every advantage has its disadvantages. I'm not a mature magician. Before I came here, I was just an ordinary person who couldn't use magic at all."
"—The card spirits told me that, initially, the Clow Cards should have scattered, and I would have slowly collected them, growing up just like Sakura. However, unlike the original story, the released cards included the [No] Cards. If I had allowed them to scatter and then slowly collect them, the [No] Cards might have wiped out certain countries. To prevent that from happening, I forcibly collected all the cards."
Shi Yu Yue Ling sighed. This meant she was currently unable to fully unleash her full potential as a magician. It was like the magic power she could control was a river. After she forcibly reclaimed all the Clow Cards, she could no longer fully control that river. All the Clow Cards occupied a small space in the river, leaving only a tiny piece for her.
Before she mastered all the Clow Cards, the power she could exert was limited.
