[成历|西玉|全英]天行不息 22 The Ending(8)

Suddenly, she thought of something and ran away.
“Jade!” cried Jackie.
Jade ran to Section 13 where the talismans were stored.
“The Rat Talisman, turning stillness into movement.” Jade picked up the Rat Talisman, whose eyes were filled with unease and hope.
“Hii-yaah!” Jade pressed the talisman on the chest of the Statue.
Nothing happened. The hope broke. Jade sat leaning against the Statue, bowing her head between her arms.

“Sensei! Jackie! Jade is here.” Tohru found Jade first.
On seeing the Rat Talisman clenched by Jade, Jackie and the other two understood her thought at once. Jackie would always teach Jade a lesson every time she fetched talismans sneakily in the past. But this time Jackie said nothing but sat beside Jade.
After a while, Jackie said: “Jade, we go home.”
“Okay, Jackie. But I want Section 13 to construct another Statue of Hsi Wu, in the form when you turned him into a stone!” Jade raised her head, from her eyes the sad mood seemed to fade a little and a gleam of light glistened.
