番外 Side Story

? ? ? 當(dāng)我醒來，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己長得和塞姆一模一樣，小玉站在我的面前。

? ? ? “This is the necklace of friendship, you and I are just like this pair of necklaces, cannot be apart.” 小玉用英語和我說。

? ? ? 天哪，我竟然進入了《成龍歷險記》的世界！而且我就是天空惡魔西木！

? ? ? 我知道接下來要發(fā)生什么，我必須要避免這一切。

? ? ? “Could we go to the Moose World (駝鹿公園) now?” 我不得不用英語說話，用英語思考。

? ? ? “I’d love to, but I must get Jackie’s permission first.” Jade (小玉) walked towards Uncle's Rare Finds (老爹的古董店).

? ? ? “Wait a minute! Can we go to the park directly? I guess you have a phone. You can contact Jackie (成龍) with it.”

? ? ? “Yeah, I do. Then…we go!”

? ? ? Jade and I played in the park and I thought about how I could stay in the world with Jade forever and never be trapped in the demon netherworld (惡魔地獄).

? ? ? “Seymour, your English accent suddenly sounds so strange. I am also Chinese but I don’t think I have the Chinese accent as heavy as you.”

? ? ? “Oh, I am a Chinese. And I immigrated to the US recently. Can you speak Mandarin?”

? ? ? “No, I can only speak Cantonese.”

? ? ? “Then we speak English still, my Cantonese is even poorer than English.”

? ? ? The night was coming and we walked out of the park, I got some money with magic and was ready to buy Jade a cup of milk tea.

? ? ? Suddenly, I felt an item attaching to my hip. Oh! It was my tail!

? ? ? I could sense the smell of magic and I was affected and couldn’t move.

? ? ? “Seymour (塞姆), what’s the matter with you?” Jade looked at me in surprise.

? ? ? “Aiiee-yaahh!” I heard Uncle shouting. “Hsi Wu (西木)! I told you I did not like him.”

? ? ? “The flute, Jackie!”

? ? ? “Uncle, Isn’t the boy the friend of Jade?”

? ? ? “No, Uncle Jackie! I am Jade’s friend, not the sky demon!” I shouted before I realized I had let out the truth.

? ? ? “Didn’t you hear, Jackie? He said ’sky demon’. If he were a human, he would know nothing about demons!”

? ? ? I heard the sound of the flute, I felt a headache. I loved flute before but now I had the same nature as Hsi Wu.

? ? ? “You…you’re…”. Jade was shocked.

? ? ? “A demon, but also your friend.”

? ? ? I flew, with the magic of the flute. I knew I was flying to the demon netherworld.

? ? ? “So long, Jade!” I shouted before I was out of her sight.

?

? ? ? Now I was in the netherworld. I changed back to bat and tried to fly with my wings.

? ? ? “Not Bad! I can fly so fast. But there is no one, just so many floating stones.”

? ? ? “Oh, there are my brothers and sisters!” I remembered. And I knew, the next to get out of the netherworld would be Bai Tza (芭莎) and Jade would follow her here.

? ? ? Not too long after, I encountered my brothers and sisters.

? ? ? “Hi, Brother Wu. You are also defeated by the awful old man?” They said.

? ? ? “After I get out, I must punish them as well as Shendu (圣主).” Bai Tza said.

? ? ? “Yeah, I lost freedom, and I also lost her.” When I said the last word, my voice was so slight that no one could hear me.

? ? ? I didn’t want to say anything to my brothers, just waiting for Jade’s arrival.

?

? ? ? “Bad day!” Bai Tza came here, with her temper lost.

? ? ? “Hsi Wu, inform all the demons to have a meeting!” She ordered me.

? ? ? I called every demon to gather in front of Shendu’s mirror, he said we could all get out through his portal. Of course, I knew he was lying, but I didn’t mention this to others.

? ? ? Suddenly, Po Kong (波剛) looked strange, she tried to scratch her back but she was too fat to make it.

? ? ? “Hsi Wu, see what is on Po Kong’s back.” Bai Tza ordered me.

? ? ? I knew it must be Jade, but I still flew over to Po Kong’s shoulder. I was the weakest among the demons, I didn’t dare to oppose them.

? ? ? Then Po Kong looked enjoyable, I knew it was Jade who treated her. And Po Kong cast me like a mosquito.

? ? ? The meeting was over and I sought for Jade alone, her Moose camera hit me on the head.

? ? ? I followed the direction where the camera came and saw Jade on a floating stone.

? ? ? “Jade! Say Chi spell!”

? ? ? “Ahh!” Jade seemed afraid.

? ? ? “Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.” I turned into Seymour as soon as I landed on the stone.

? ? ? “Still wanna go to the dance with me?” I said.

? ? ? “I…’d love to, but you…you’re a demon.” Jade’s head was downward.

? ? ? “I guess you have known something about the 8th door. And you couldn’t find it.”

? ? ? “Yeah, Uncle had told me.”

? ? ? “Do you want to get out? I can help you.”

? ? ? “But uncle says only one being can go through that door.”

? ? ? “I know. And he says that being must be you, and that is just what I want to say.”

? ? ? “You…” Jade held my hands.

? ? ? “You stay here may be eaten by other demons, probably Po Kong, but I won’t have any danger.”

? ? ? “Seymour, oh, Hsi Wu, although you are a demon, although just now Uncle said you are good at taunting, my heart tells me you are my friend, you are the one deserving trust.” Jade had tears in her eyes.

? ? ? “Don’t be sad, I believe we will see each other again one day. And I have a small request, can you leave me the Moose camera?”

? ? ? “Of course”.

? ? ? I seized Jade and flew. Suddenly, I remembered one man.

? ? ? “Jade, remember a person, Daolon Wong (刀龍). He may be able to let me out.”

? ? ? “Daolon Wong?”

? ? ? “Yes, when that day comes, you will understand.”

? ? ? I knew Daolon Wong could release Shendu, so maybe he could also release me.

? ? ? “Dear siblings, let me introduce the human Jade!” I flew to where the demons had a meeting.

? ? ? “Looks tasty!” Po Kong said.

? ? ? Then Uncle appeared in front of me, only Jade and I could see him.

? ? ? “Ahh!” Uncle saw me catching Jade.

? ? ? “Shendu cheated you, only one of you can get out of the portal,” Jade said, and she made a posture of making Uncle not worried.

? ? ? Uncle smiled and disappeared.

? ? ? “Who told you of this?” Tso Lan (咒藍(lán)) said.

? ? ? “Uncle did.”

? ? ? “The old man?” Bai Tza said.

? ? ? “I had known we cannot trust in Shendu the guy!”

? ? ? “We must handle this problem.”

? ? ? “The elder should be the first.” Tso Lan said.

? ? ? Suddenly, the door opened and Shendu flew in.

? ? ? “The door is open!”

? ? ? “Every demon for himself!” I flew quickly towards the door with Jade.

? ? ? And I felt being hit from my back and fell towards the bottom.

? ? ? “Ahh!” I heard Jade shouting.

? ? ? “Don’t worry, we will win the race!” I adjusted my state and I could feel I was recovering fast.

? ? ? I flew normally again and left my siblings far behind.

? ? ? I placed Jade on a stone in front of the portal.

? ? ? “So long, Jade.”

? ? ? “Wish to see you again, Hsi Wu.” She jumped out and the door closed.

? ? ? I flew back and Shendu had been surrounded by other demons.

? ? ? “Shendu! Say Chi spell!” I took the Moose camera in front of him.

? ? ? “Hsi Wu! You must also get punished with Shendu! You dare to release the girl!”

? ? ? “Dear brothers and sisters, if I hadn’t released her, it would be I who get out, not you.”

? ? ? “But at least I would have dinner!” Po Kong said.

? ? ? “Hsi Wu, you’re just like Shendu, you have betrayed us!” Tchang Zu said.

? ? ? They used their magic to attack Shendu and me. It was such unforgettable pain. Shendu and I were hardly dead, but we could never die. We could only live forever under their fire of anger.

? ? ? “Brothers and sisters, I think up a method to release us all! The Book of Ages.”

? ? ? They stopped attacking. And finally, they took Shendu’s suggestion.

? ? ? When waiting for Shendu to revise the Book of Ages, they didn’t punish me, only questioned me.

? ? ? “Hsi Wu, I can’t imagine you helped a human girl, especially she is our enemy’s niece!”

? ? ? “Tell the truth, Hsi Wu. Do you fall in love with her?”

? ? ? “Your English accent is also strange. You sound like a Chinese.”

? ? ? “You should explain all these things to us!”

? ? ? “Dear brothers and sisters, please forgive me. Please forgive me for my strange feelings. I do feel that girl is more interesting than ruling the world. As for the accent, I don’t know why. Maybe because I have mastered Mandarin Chinese now.”

? ? ? I made up these sentences. Ruling the world is nothing to me. I am just a university student. I do not know why I entered the world of Jackie Chan Adventures. And I am a native speaker of Mandarin, not English!

? ? ? “It is a shame for demons to have feelings of warmth and love, Hsi Wu!”

? ? ? “But don’t you find ruling the world is something lonely?” They seemed a little nice to me, maybe Hsi Wu, or I, had been polite to them before, not like Shendu, the selfish guy. So I dared to say such a sentence.

? ? ? “Hsi Wu! My dear brother. I don’t know what kind of magic the girl put on you! We can’t understand.”

? ? ? “Maybe one day you will understand me,” I said.

?

? ? ? Then, suddenly, I felt the world was reversed, and I was in my sky tower taking a bath.

? ? ? Viper (小蛇) was in a cage singing for me.

? ? ? “Viper, you may have got tired, take a break!” I said to her.

? ? ? “Master, you…I….I am so grateful.” Viper sounded so touched.

? ? ? I jumped out of the bathtub and walked close to Viper. She dropped to her knees.

? ? ? “Don’t be afraid.” I broke the cage using my magic power. “Get out, you are free. Maybe I don’t need slaves anymore.”

? ? ? She walked away with tears in her eyes.

? ? ? Then a bat smaller than me walked near, I guessed he was my general.

? ? ? “Master, I have been ready to raise some new servants for you!”

? ? ? “You needn’t. Now I’ll pay a visit to Shendu, guard the sky tower for me!”

? ? ? “Yes, master!”

?

? ? ? When I arrived there, Jade was about to deal with Shendu’s toes.

? ? ? “So smelly!” Jade covered his nose with her hand.

? ? ? “Oh, you come, Brother Wu.” Shendu greeted me but he didn’t look at me. I guessed he also looked down upon me for everything I had done that lost the status of a demon.

? ? ? “Dear brother, don’t you mind lending me some servants?”

? ? ? “I guess you want that girl!” Shendu pointed at Jade.

? ? ? “Yeah, my clever brother.” I smiled.

? ? ? “Go to your sky emperor’s place!” Shendu kicked Jade flying toward me.

? ? ? “Ahh!” Jade shouted. I caught Jade in my hands.

? ? ? “Jade!” Jackie shouted.

? ? ? “Don’t worry, Jackie Chan.” I flew away with Jade.

? ? ? “Ahh! The sky emperor should know my name! As well as my niece’s!”

? ? ? “Then, Jackie Chan, it’s your turn to treat my toes,” Shendu said.

?

? ? ? I didn’t fly back to my kingdom and just landed in a place outside Shendu’s city.

? ? ? “Hsi Wu, I couldn’t imagine I would see you again in such a way, in such a world. I am glad, but….you know.”

? ? ? “Jade, needn’t say, I know you have a plan to turn the world back. But I only beg you one thing. When you write ‘Uncle defeats all the demons’, please plus ‘except Hsi Wu’.”

? ? ? “Ok, I remember. How’s it going, Seymour, oh, Hsi Wu?”

? ? ? “Not bad. I got along well with them before so they are not too harsh to me for releasing you.”

? ? ? “You mean they are annoyed at what you’ve done.”

? ? ? “Maybe a little, but don’t worry. I am a demon after all.”

? ? ? I flew away leaving Jade in Shendu’s Kingdom, hoping she would persuade Uncle and Jackie to accept me.

? ? ? Luckily, after I waiting for a long time, I sensed all demons had been trapped. She did add the sentence ‘except Hsi Wu’.

? ? ? Then suddenly, I felt the world was reversed and I was in the demon netherworld!

? ? ? I knew. I knew that although Jade had added the sentence, everything came back to the time before Shendu revised the book when she fixed the book using her torn part.

? ? ? And I waited in the netherworld for so long, so long. Other demons often taunted or punished Shendu. They seldom attacked me but I felt they hated me, they didn’t like me for I had lost demon’s face.

? ? ? I just always watched the videos in the camera over and over again and looked down at the necklace hanging on my neck.

? ? ? I usually kept the state of Seymour unless I came across Po Kong. I was afraid she would eat me.

? ? ? I sometimes talked with Shendu. Now he and I were both the unwelcome ones. I could only talk to him to kill time, kill the loneliness.

? ? ? “Hsi Wu, I see you always look at the camera, she is so important to you?”

? ? ? “Maybe, my brother.”

? ? ? “That may be also OK, you can use the girl to get Jackie’s trust.”

? ? ? “It’s your idea, not mine. I just want to be back to the ordinary life.”

? ? ? “Be rational, brother. We are demons, we weren’t and will never be ordinary.”

? ? ? “You don’t understand me. I am just a student, I don’t know why I become a demon.” I heard myself say but I didn’t make it aloud to be heard by Shendu.

?

? ? ? One day, Shendu was out. Other demons were so surprised, but I did not. I knew it was Daolon Wong who released Shendu. I knew my freedom might come soon.

? ? ? It was coming. I saw through a mirror. Jade, Jackie, and Uncle standing in front of it. And I saw Daolon Wong controlled by Captain Black with his hands tied.

? ? ? “Hsi Wu, my friend, now we are ready to release you!” Jade said.

? ? ? “We have devised a kind of magic to control you, don’t have the desire to rule the world!” Uncle said to me.

? ? ? “Yeah, you needn’t be worried. I’m just seeking freedom, hugging ordinary. And what is the most important, my sincere friend, Jade.”

? ? ? I heard they began to say Chi spell.

? ? ? A portal with white light appeared in front of me. I flew. I flew to freedom.

? ? ? When I entered the world with white bright light, I opened my eyes.

? ? ? “I am free!” I said.

? ? ? Only to see Xiaoyu, my roommate.

? ? ? “free個毛呀！下午還有六級考試。” 小宇說。

? ? ? “你看現(xiàn)在都幾點了，12點了。你再不起來午飯都吃不上了！”

? ? ? “I…I…”我切換成漢語還有點困難。

? ? ? “我好像昨晚看《成龍歷險記》太晚了?！?/span>

? ? ? “看得哪版的?”

? ? ? “英文原版?！?/span>

? ? ? “六級前一天看英語看到后半夜，硬卷是吧！”

? ? ? “比你打游戲打到半夜強?！?/span>

? ? ? “我六級早就550了！今天就隨緣刷個分。哪像某人還沒過的?！毙∮钫f。

? ? ? “等著瞧吧！今天爺完虐你?！蔽艺f。

?

? ? ? 我走向六級考場，還想著夢里的情景。我是西木？惡魔地獄？小玉？銅幣項鏈？一切都似乎那么真實。

?

? ? ? 我坐在考場里，還有三分鐘考試就要開始了。突然，后面的同學(xué)舉手喊老師。

? ? ? “老師，我忘記帶涂卡筆了。能和同學(xué)借一個嗎？”

? ? ? 她的聲音，像極了小玉，但比小玉更加成熟。

? ? ? “我有多余的?！蔽肄D(zhuǎn)過身去，只見后座女生柔順的披肩發(fā)、澄澈的眼睛一如小玉。

? ? ? 考試開始了，我聽力竟然全部都能聽懂，閱讀里也沒有一個生詞。我不敢相信，令我一向頭疼的英語，竟然因為一個夢突飛猛進。

? ? ? 我早早地完成了閱讀和翻譯，像母語者一般睥睨著卷子。這次至少670沒什么問題了，畢竟聽力和閱讀248.5穩(wěn)拿。我陷入了遐想，想著《成龍歷險記》，想著我的夢，想著后座的女孩。

? ? ? 考試結(jié)束了。下午的斜陽從考場的西窗照到我的身上。

? ? ? “給你，謝謝了！”后座女生把涂卡筆還給我。

? ? ? “沒事，應(yīng)該的。”我說。

? ? ? “你是…哪個系的？”我停頓了一秒，鼓起勇氣問。

? ? ? “我是八系的，你呢？”

? ? ? “我是二系的。我叫賈小乾?！?/span>

? ? ? “我叫成小玉。”
