[成歷|西玉]棋手 英文版 004
? ? In Jade’s body, Hsi Wu spent a few days as a human student, which was nothing different from when he disguised himself as a classmate of Jade. He even somewhat enjoyed this period of time. It was uneventful but the campus was full of life and vitality. Certainly, it would be better if that Drew’s mouth could be sewed up.
? ? Jackie Chan and others had been looking for the spell for several days. It would take them another several days if everything went according to Hsi Wu.
? ? After his first day of school, Hsi Wu had searched for magic books in the name of help. Not knowing it was his good luck or certain wonderful magic of Jade’s body, the first book he took by accident was the one recording the spell Uncle needed. Then silently and calmly, he put the book into the pile of checked ones.
? ? Certainly, this kind of trick could not keep Uncle from finding the spell. It could only postpone it.
? ? But that did not matter. It had been enough. It was time to carry out the next plan.
? ? “Hello,” Jackie was looking for the spell when he received a call. “Jade? Okay, Miss Hartman, I’m going there right now.”
? ? Tohru looked up from the pile of books, “What’s wrong with Jade?”
? ? “Miss Hartman says she is a little unwell.”
? ? “Aiiee-yaahh! Uncle told her that she shouldn’t drink too much soda. She never listens to Uncle.”
? ? When Jackie was hurrying to the school, Hsi Wu, or Jade whose body was occupied, was on the stairs of Section 13.
? ? Human emotions are really intriguing. Just taking advantage of Jackie’s care for Jade, Hsi Wu could use a call to lead him out of Section 13. Without Jackie, his next action would be more convenient.
? ? Bypassing the security system of Section 13, he came to the cell where they locked up the “Sky Demon”. The security system of Section 13 was intricate, but it still had some loopholes. Hsi Wu found the alert-free path after only a few visits. Even the Demon Netherworld created by the Eight Immortals has the passage connecting to the human world, let alone Section 13 constructed by humans. Pitifully, the time was too short, otherwise, he could draw a clear picture of Section 13’s security system.
? ? “Hey, Jade, did you sleep well last night?” Hsi Wu wore a shining smile.
? ? Jade turned her head, not looking at Hsi Wu. She would absolutely kick Hsi Wu hard if she had not been locked now. After all, whoever was locked in a cell and could not speak would be furious.
? ? It is dreadful to lose freedom. However, they both would be free again at once.
? ? A bucket of water washed away the powder Uncle sprinkled, and broke down the magic he left.
? ? The red button on the cell door was pressed, and the closed iron door opened slowly.
? ? Another feeling of spinning engulfed Jade before she could react to it. But maybe because she had experienced this once, her head was not so aching as last time. When Jade came to herself, she had been back into her body. And Hsi Wu broke the chains and walked out of the cell. Without Uncle’s magic, common prison could not imprison a demon at all.
? ? Hsi Wu bent down and laid his claw lightly upon Jade’s shoulder, whose eyes reflected her frightened face, “Jade, say Chi Spell.”
? ? “Jackie!” Jade kicked Hsi Wu off, bolting, screaming.
? ? Her scream startled the guards of Section 13. The security personnel nearby rushed here. Shots rang out for a time but human weapons could not deal with Hsi Wu.
? ? “We need the help of talismans.”
? ? “Jade opened the familiar treasury with ease, where stored the 12 talismans of Shendu.”
? ? “Almost…” Jade stretched out her arm, jumping, but still had some distance from them.
? ? An enormous bang came from behind the passage: it was Hsi Wu flying here.
? ? He was so swift that the air in the passage was compressed, which shot into the treasury of talismans like a bomb, striking Jade to the wall and talismans on the ground.
? ? Hsi Wu landed on the ground and folded his wings. The smile on his face became eviler.
? ? “Jade, thank you for helping me to find the talismans.”
