Solution
"No, KK, there's no way to get in through the mirror. The passage is now an ordinary mirror."
Qi Ning lowered his head while listening to Wangyue's call, using his hands to support himself from falling. His expression was obscured by his hands covering his facial features, and there was only a silent and depressing atmosphere in the air.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Ning raised his head and said to Wangyue on the other end of the phone, "Since this has already happened and we can't get to her, we can only prepare for the worst."
"Wait, it's too early to give up now!" Ya Yulin's shocked voice came from the other end of the phone, making the others present nod in agreement in their hearts. Even if this person was dead, the seventh day had not yet passed. It was too early to give up now.
Qi Ning's eyes instantly turned dead, and the emotions that had been shrouding his heart completely disappeared. He couldn't help but retort, "Who do you think I am? Since Shi Yu Yue Ling chose to face this situation on her own and said she had a way to handle it, it means that she is confident that she can handle this matter without endangering her life. We just need to trust her."
"Or do you think, given our relationship, that if she really needs her life to resolve this matter, she won't tell us? Instead, she will just drop some ambiguous messages?" Qi Ning asked back. She was 90% sure that Shi Yu Yueling could handle the [No] card issue.
"Oh, that's right." Ya Yulin suddenly felt weak.
"So KK, what do you mean?" Wangyue asked Qi Ning again.
"If Miss Qi Ning is sure that her life will not be in danger, then the only way left is to sacrifice her freedom, including herself, and seal the card you all are talking about there, right?" Hagiwara Kenji guessed that although real-life film and television dramas all have elements of artistic processing, this is probably the only possibility now.
"That's right." Qi Ning nodded. She remembered very clearly that there were cards in the Clow Cards that could control the element of time. Although she didn't know whether Yueyue would use that method, it was more likely to be used to restrain her. After all, in the magic elements of the original book, there was no element of burning life in exchange for magic power.
If you think about it that way, you must have been brainwashed by the unreasonable passion in film and television works. In addition, Kuro Reedo once sealed the [No] card, so the containment operation is definitely possible. If even she can think of it, Shi Yu Yue Ling cannot fail to think of it.
"It is indeed very likely." Wangyue agreed with Qi Ning's speculation. She never expected that they would suffer a reduction in number after just arriving here.
"But Yueyue will be trapped in there forever, right?" Yayu Lin was very dissatisfied with the result. They didn't spend a long time together in real life, but they knew each other online for a long time. Yayu Lin knew Shiyu Yueling too well. He was a lazy person who loved to slack off when he had nothing to do. His biggest hobby was lying down. He was a bit of a homebody, but he had to have a mobile phone. This situation would make Yueyue feel miserable.
"That's why I said we should prepare for the worst. Have you forgotten why we are here?" The relaxed look on Qi Ning's face disappeared again, and a hint of solemnity appeared in his eyes.
"Oh, that's right!" Ya Yulin was surprised. She knew what Qi Ning was talking about. It was the condition for going home. As long as they deviated enough from the plot, they could go home.
Life here is wonderful, but the freedom of home and companions is better than that.
"Very good, it's as expected of us that we came up with a solution so quickly." Wangyue breathed a sigh of relief, and the sadness that shrouded his heart was gone.
It was not clear what had happened. When Matsuda saw them relaxing yesterday, he knew that they must have found a solution. However, he really wanted to complain about the relaxed atmosphere among these people. If Shi Yuyue Ling came back after solving the problem and saw them so relaxed and happy without her, it would be hell.
"So, Ms. Shigure is a magician?" Natalie still couldn't quite believe that there really were magicians in the world.
"We were also in disbelief when we first saw it." Hagiwara Kenji continued Natalie's words with a smile, and told her about the first time he learned about magic and found that others could not see Morobushi Kagemitsu, which made Natalie exclaim in amazement.
Zhu Fujingguang and Jiang Gu Ling were paying attention to Qi Ning. Both of them were very curious about what Qi Ning meant when he said "Why are we here?". Why did this sentence mean that Shi Yu Yueling, who was sitting here and not in the real world, could be saved?
However, based on their understanding of them, they were probably unable to get the answers, so they could only try to ask for ways to save them.
The method Qi Ning and the others came up with was neither difficult nor simple. At the beginning, the [Mirror] card also told Jōguchi Ling that if they wanted Shi Yu Yueling to give up her identity as a magician, besides becoming a magician and then giving it up on her own initiative, there was also a way for someone to give it up passively, which was to wipe out that organization.
Fūya Ling was not clear about the connection between destroying the organization and passively giving up becoming a magician. He only believed 70% of what the [Mirror] card said and remained wary of her. He didn't expect that Qi Ning would also mention this method now.
"But this is based on the premise that Yueyue is indeed restraining the [Wu] card." Qi Ning added. No matter how unwilling she was to believe that Shi Yu Yueling might die, that tiny probability still existed.
"But there's no need to worry too much. If she can't solve it, the out-of-control [Wu] card will kill everyone along with it. Then we won't have to worry." Qi Ning said the terrifying words easily. It seemed that she had no intention of resisting if the latter appeared.
It's not that she just lay down and let others make fun of her, but she really had no other options in that situation. If there was any other way, she hoped Shi Yuyueling could tell them where the world began to disappear, so that they could quickly move to a farther place and try to live longer.
Maybe in that situation, [Wu] would devour the people of the organization first, and then accidentally meet the conditions for them to go home. Hmm... such a beautiful situation should appear in dreams.
"In short, the key point is that organization, right?" Jōgōu Ling confirmed with Qi Ning. He was clearly well prepared, but he didn't expect that he was still not fully prepared.
"It seems so at the moment, but we have to wait a little longer. Maybe Yueyue will come back on her own in a couple of days." Qi Ning comforted them. Compared to them who knew the truth about the world, the two people in front of them who knew the truth must be feeling very heavy in their hearts.
Fōtani Rei remained silent and did not respond. Zhufu Jingguang did not know what to say for a moment. He planned to go back and discuss with Fōtani Rei to understand the situation. He was still confused about that organization.
Seeing that the conversation here had reached a deadlock, Matsuda Jinpei and the other two who had been paying attention to the situation on the other side ended the conversation with Natalie.
"How is it? Have you figured out a solution?" Matsuda Jinpei walked over and asked. Looking at Qi Ning's expression, he knew that the situation was probably not that bad.
"Let's talk about it later, Bingbing. Send Xiaojiu back first, and then we'll discuss a strategy." Qi Ning said to Wangyue on the other end of the phone.
"Well, I'm taking Jiujiu to her place and will pick you up later."
After the call ended, Yayu Lin said as she separated from Wangyue: "Don't forget that I'm still waiting for news, but don't worry too much. If something really happens to Yueyue, this phone probably won't work."
"That's true. I'll go first." Wangyue's figure disappeared in front of Yayu Lin.
After returning, Wangyue also mentioned this matter. It was when he turned to Jōgōu Rei that he remembered that he still had the mirror given by Shigure Yueling, which could see the situation around her. Unfortunately, after drawing a circle with one stroke, only an empty space was reflected in the mirror.
Qi Ning was right. Shi Yu Yue Ling's backup plan was to divert attention, combining [Sleep], [Illusion] and [Dream] together to seal the awakened [Wu] card. However, this method required her to be inside. The [Wu] card could devour the surrounding things, so someone was needed to attract attention and find an opportunity to cast magic.
She couldn't do it alone, she couldn't do two things at once. Fortunately, [Mirror] had her consent and was able to mobilize her magic power, and the combination of the two successfully made [Wu] card fall asleep, but she herself could not avoid being hit by the magic.
Logically speaking, with these three cards played together, she should have had an endless dream. She also left herself a backup plan. The [Mirror] card should be able to enter her dream, but it was also good that she didn't realize that she was dreaming in the dream.
But she wasn't dreaming.
That's not right. Even if I'm not dreaming, it shouldn't be dark. Shi Yu Yue Ling clasped her arms and looked around. Could this be a lucid dream? If so, I'm doomed. I might as well be dead.
'Are you giving up now?'
A strange voice came into her ears. Shi Yu Yueling looked up vigilantly, but there was still nothing around.
"who?"
"Hello, should I call you Miss Shigure or Miss Shi? I'm Clow Reed, you should know me."
"..." Shi Yu Yue Ling couldn't help but frown in doubt, Kurolido, are you kidding me, is this true?
"Won't you ask me for help?"
"If you want to save me, you don't need me to ask for help. If you don't want to save me, it's useless even if I ask for help."
Who knows if it's the real Clow Reed? What if he's just an imposter and is trying to trick her?
"That's true. The Clow Cards all have their own minds. If they unite to deceive you for freedom, breaking the seal and endangering the world would be bad. We should definitely remain vigilant."
"Can you hear what I'm thinking?" Shi Yu Yueling frowned tightly. This feeling of having no privacy was so annoying. Well, suddenly she felt a little sympathy for Jiang Gu Ling.
But it wasn't her will at that time, she just couldn't control the cards.
"Of course I can. You know full well that you can't control Nothingness, so you figured out a way to contain it early on. For someone new to magic, you're quite good."
Excellent? That's useless. Shi Yuyueling looked away. She was still trapped here, but it was nice to have someone to talk to.
'I don't intend to stay here forever.'
Hearing that the only person she could talk to was leaving, Shi Yu Yue Ling was also panicked. She couldn't help but ask, "No way, if you really are Clow Reed, wouldn't it be easy to solve this dilemma? Why are you keeping me in suspense? I'm giving up on being a magician."
"Those children are very satisfied with you, and I can't change their choice. Perhaps you should re-examine yourself. Those things that cannot be seen or touched do not exist. Sakura once used [love] to transform [nothingness]. You know you can't do it, but is it really so?"
Could this be fake?
"There is no concept of time and space here. In reality, there are people waiting for you. Wake up early. Some cards are no longer Clow Cards. You have to find a way to wake up on your own."
What do you mean it's no longer a Clow Card? If it's not a Clow Card, what else could it be? Could he be lying to her? If she doesn't want to save him, then forget it.
'……'
Shi Yu Yue Ling: "..." Hey, no way, she's really gone? Qi Ke Xiu! Are you really going to leave her here? Even letting her into a dream is fine!
'……'
