Chapter 198 The Convergence of World Lines
Wang Changsheng led Xiaoying and Zhishi to the painting.
The three of them remained silent, as if by unspoken agreement.
Their gaze fell upon the painting imbued with magic.
"You wretched bastards, wait for me!"
However, before they could observe for even a few seconds, Xiao Ke's shouts came from behind them.
Sakura couldn't help but turn around and saw Kero carrying a flashlight that was several times larger than itself, angrily flying towards them.
"Hey, you guys...!"
The little wings behind Xiao Ke fluttered rapidly, showing how anxious and angry it was.
However, when it arrived at a super-fast speed not far from them, the painting not far from Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying underwent a very strange change.
The veiled woman in black in the painting exudes anger, indifference, and a hint of impatience.
She extended her right hand, which was not in the painting.
Judging from the size of the frame, only the woman in black is depicted with her neck facing upwards.
However, now her hand has emerged from nowhere and appeared in the picture frame.
The woman appeared to be wearing a black cloak, which fell down as she reached out, revealing her fair, jade-like arms and slender fingers.
She gently placed her slender index finger in front of her lips.
"Shh-"
At this moment.
Wang Changsheng seemed to hear a faint voice in his ear, so ethereal and elusive that it seemed to exist in the mortal world.
At the same time, an extremely powerful magical wave swept out from the painting, engulfing Wang Changsheng, Xiaoying, and the others.
"Swish"
The group felt as if they had fallen into a vast golden ocean, with everything they saw filled with dazzling golden light.
Being in that environment, Sakura even felt a sense of insignificance.
An extremely strong sense of loneliness lingered in my heart.
Sakura felt like she could burst into tears at any moment.
Fortunately, the magic transmitted by the woman in the painting did not last long. The feeling only lasted for a very short time, not even a blink of an eye, before the brilliant golden light surrounding her disappeared.
When Sakura came to her senses, she discovered that the place they were in had undergone a complete transformation.
It's no longer inside the exhibition hall, but outside the art museum.
Xiao Ke, who was holding a portable flashlight, stopped crying.
"Did we just trigger some kind of mechanism of the Clow Cards? It used magic to throw us out." Tomoyo looked around in surprise.
She had never experienced that feeling before, and she actually found it quite interesting.
Sure enough, following Sakura and Changsheng always leads to these interesting encounters.
Originally, Tomoyo always dragged Sakura to film all sorts of costume videos, simply because she thought Sakura was cute.
But now, whether it's the appearance of the Clow Cards or the emergence of people like Wang Changsheng and Xiao Ke who understand magic, Tomoyo suddenly discovered a greater joy than simply making cross-dressing videos.
"Chang Sheng is quite an interesting person."
The three of them were thrown out of the art museum by the magic of the silent card. Sakura and Kero were a little flustered, but Wang Changsheng was calm, as if he had expected it. He even had the leisure to joke with Kero.
Tomoyo keenly observed this.
Or rather, as someone who often held a camera and recorded things from the sidelines, she observed Wang Changsheng's occasional emotions and thoughts more than once.
All of this made Zhi Shi even more interested in Wang Changsheng.
Having gone through so much together, Tomoyo's curiosity about Wang Changsheng was no less than Sakura's.
She wanted to uncover more of Wang Changsheng's secrets.
Of course, this requires her to follow behind Wang Changsheng and peel back the veil of mystery surrounding him step by step.
"You brat!"
Why are you yelling so loudly?
Wang Changsheng was naturally unaware of Tomoyo's growing interest in him.
At this moment, he was looking down at Xiao Ke with a slightly feigned sense of grievance on his face.
However, Xiao Ke could clearly see the provocation in his eyes.
"Why are you pretending to be pitiful? I didn't yell at you!" Xiao Ke said, glaring at him.
"Aren't you yelling at me?" Wang Changsheng used a certain fist technique called the Unruly Fist, "Waaah~ Sakura~ Little Ke is being mean to me! You'd better do something about it~"
Sakura, who was also feeling somewhat troubled by the powerful magic of the Silent Cards, was deep in thought.
However, upon hearing Wang Changsheng's words, she involuntarily turned around and glared at Xiao Ke: "Why are you bullying Xiao Wang? If you keep doing this, I'll hit you!"
"Clam?!"
Message: You have acquired a level 4 spell – Lightning Summoning!
Message: Level 3 Energy Block +36
Message: Negative points from Cerberus +7451
"I'm so angry!"
Xiao Ke glared angrily at Wang Changsheng, the culprit who was snuggling up to Xiao Ying.
Is there any reason?
Is there no law left?
My foolish Cardcaptor Sakura, stop blocking the flow of information and gouging out your own eyes.
Open your eyes and look! Look at this sleazy, pretentious brat!
I don't understand.
Why is it that every time Wang Changsheng argues with it, as long as this brat acts pitiful, shows off his pretty-boy face, and then gets close to Xiaoying, even though she is the magician he chose, she will stand firmly by his side and turn around and blame him?

Damn it!
Am I not handsome enough?
Xiao Ke looked at her short little hands, then touched her big head and the big ears on it.
Xiao Ke: "..."
Okay, although I might not be quite handsome right now.
but!
Wang Changsheng isn't handsome either, is he?
Xiao Ke's two eyes, smaller than beans, sized up the pretentious Wang Changsheng.
"emmm"
Despite his young age, according to human standards, this brat's looks are almost comparable to Kuro's.
If he grows up, he will probably become an incredibly handsome man comparable to Kuro.
Thinking about this, Xiao Ke couldn't help but imagine what Wang Changsheng would look like when he grew up.
"Why does he seem even more handsome than Kuro?"
After complaining to Sakura, Sakura stood firmly by his side again and scolded the poor Xiao Ke. Wang Changsheng straightened up and turned his head to find that the brat was staring at him up and down with a sly look.
He snorted through his nose.
"What are you looking at?"
"What's it to you!"
Xiao Ke responded immediately.
"Hey—" Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng immediately raised an eyebrow.
He was about to go up and teach Xiao Ke a lesson when suddenly, a voice rang out from not far away.
"As expected, you were all sent out as well."
Xiao Ke reacted very quickly. The moment the sound rang out, its body stiffened, and it was about to fall straight to the ground.
Fortunately, Wang Changsheng was quick-witted and managed to grab it.
Sakura hurriedly retrieved Kero from the box.
After they finished, they looked back and saw a familiar figure climbing out of the art museum window.
The reason we could get into the first floor was because there was a piece of glass that could be loosened.
This is something that ordinary people would never know; it must be someone who is extremely knowledgeable about the structure of an art museum.
"Huh? It's you guys?"
When Wang Changsheng and the others met the eyes of the little kid, they were surprised to find that they all knew each other.
The little boy who sneaked into the art museum with them late at night was actually Yu Ochiai, the one who stopped them from entering the Hell Pavilion during the day.
"Yuu? How could it be you?" Sakura was a little stunned.
"Were you guys just playing tricks?" After recognizing Wang Changsheng and a few other "acquaintances," Ochiai Yu raised her small, delicate eyebrows and glared at them with a fierce yet endearing look. "What were you talking about? It sounded like you were arguing."
She was wearing a hat at the time, and at first glance she looked like a little boy.
"Ahaha~ Um, this..." Hearing Ochiai Yu's words, Sakura couldn't help but awkwardly scratch the back of her head, grinned, and stiffly changed the subject, "I was wondering why your back looked a little familiar, so it was you."
"Hmph!" Ochiai Yu snorted softly.
Although the people didn't answer, she had already guessed that the people who had scared her earlier must have been them.
Why are these people suddenly arguing outside? Have they witnessed something strange about the painting?
snort!
It's nothing unusual.
I've witnessed it myself several times!
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Before Sakura and Tomoyo could speak, Ochiai Yu, who was even younger than them, preemptively asked.
"Uh... this..." Sakura didn't expect that Ochiai Yu, who was so young, would have such a strong aura. She was stumped by the question and twisted her two little hands in front of her, not knowing how to answer.
It was Tomoyo who stepped in and took over the conversation.
"This is my family's art museum. I wanted to bring my friends here late at night to see what it's like at night," Tomoyo said. "And you? What are you doing here all alone at such a young age?"
"What did you say? Your family's art museum?" Yu Ochiai was stunned.
"That's right. I thought this art museum was really nice when I visited during the day, so I had my family buy it." Tomoyo nodded, her calm and composed demeanor highlighting her extreme confidence.
In an instant, Yu Ochiai, who had been forcibly holding his head high, was overwhelmed by Tomoyo's imposing manner, and unconsciously shrunk down.
Although she appears somewhat mature for her age under Director Ochiai's tutelage, she is essentially just a child who sneaks into the art museum alone late at night.
She was already in a bad state from Xiao Ke's charade, and now she had to face Wang Changsheng and the others who were vastly different in age, size, and number. If she said she wasn't panicking, she would be lying.
In fact, she's completely panicked right now.
She had met Wang Changsheng and the other two during the day. Of them, only the girl named Xiaoying seemed easy to fool. The other two always gave her the feeling of meeting adults she had met while accompanying her grandfather to some banquets.
"I..." Overwhelmed by the pressure, Ochiai Yu stammered, "I came to find a painting."
After saying that, she couldn't help but glance at Zhi Shi and Wang Changsheng.
"Did you really buy this art museum?"
Seemingly surprised that the little girl would ask this question at this moment, Tomoyo paused slightly before nodding in response.
"Mmm~"
"So... will you, like that fat boss named Manaka, also renovate the art museum?"
Although she was facing three grown children, Yu Ochiai stubbornly raised her head, forced herself to look them in the eye, and asked the question that was extremely important to her, her grandfather, and her mother.
"Renovate?" Tomoyo looked at the little girl who was a head shorter than her and seemed a little scared because she was alone, but still managed to overcome her fear and ask them firmly.
Meeting Tomoyo's deep, dark purple eyes, Ochiai Yu felt a sudden tightness in his chest for no apparent reason.
"Of course not. I bought the museum because I love it. Why would I want to renovate it?" Tomoyo smiled gently, her tenderness spreading across her face.
"Really?!"
As Tomoyo finished speaking, Yu Ochiai's eyes visibly lit up.
"Of course it's true." Tomoyo nodded with a smile.
"Great! I believe you!" Upon receiving confirmation, Ochiai Yu even jumped up and down with joy.
Wang Changsheng, standing to the side, couldn't help but find it amusing: "We only met once during the day, why do you trust us so much?"
"Grandpa thinks you are good people, so of course I believe him." Yu Ochiai pouted, looking somewhat unhappy, thinking about her grandfather's nagging after she got home.
"I don't know what you did after I left, but Grandpa kept praising you all the time." Ochiai Yu glanced at Sakura and the other two, especially at Wang Changsheng.
She seemed to still resent her grandfather nagging her about it.
In reality, whenever Yu Ochiai thinks of her grandfather, a gentle look unconsciously appears in her eyes, revealing that she doesn't actually dislike his nagging, and may even like it.
Upon seeing this, Wang Changsheng and Zhishi exchanged a glance.
Turning to Ochiai Yu, Wang Changsheng asked, "So, Yu, what exactly are you doing at the art museum right now?"
Originally, she didn't want to answer, but under Wang Changsheng's questioning, Ochiai Yu hesitated before revealing the purpose of her late-night visit.
"I'm here to find a painting."
painting?
Wang Changsheng narrowed his eyes: "Is it that painting with a woman in black on it?"
"It's not the woman in black!" Upon hearing Wang Changsheng's words, Ochiai Yu immediately retorted, "That's me in that picture!"
"Huh? You?" Sakura was taken aback.
"That's right, it's a drawing my dad made for me, but for some reason, when I looked at it today, I found that there was a woman in black in the drawing!" When she talked about this topic, Yu Ochiai's mature demeanor reappeared, and she said firmly.
"Is that so?" Wang Changsheng had a guess in his mind.
Could this Ochiai Yu be the little girl we saw in the anime before?
But this isn't Tomoeda Town, it's Beika Town!
What are you doing, barging in like this?
"Wait, that's not right either."
Wang Changsheng stroked his chin.
According to the original anime, it would be impossible for Ochiai Yu to become the granddaughter of Ochiai Kōkan-chō.
But now a Conan world has been randomly entered.
According to the original timeline, Director Ochiai would have killed Boss Manaka.
Then this art museum could no longer belong to him.
Everything here will be auctioned off.
If the painting Yu Ochiai's father painted for her were also displayed in this art museum...
Then everything seems to make sense again.
The painting will later be sold and end up in Tomoeda Town.
This painting will then be possessed by Shizuka, which will attract Ochiai Yu to search for it, while simultaneously sneaking into the art museum in Tomoeda Town at night...
"Wow, this is definitely the power of world line convergence, it's pretty amazing." Wang Changsheng marveled inwardly.
The power of the world itself will smooth out any irrationalities that occur during the merging of the two worlds.
