Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

"Last class we talked about how to calculate the general solution to differential equations..."

"Out, out, out for your father!"

The voice disseminating knowledge from the podium did not attract the attention of the young man below the stage. His eyes were fixed on the screen of his mobile phone.

In order to get the latest six-star product, he has already spent all of his remaining food money this month and plans to rely on his roommate's support to get through the rest of his life.

After all, the problem of food is easy to solve, but the problem of wife is difficult to solve.

Of course, the spinning wheel standing quietly in the center of the screen did not disappoint his expectations. After Chen Xi bloomed his last ripple, a dazzling golden light emerged, mixed with rainbow-like brilliance.

Perhaps because he was too excited, Chen Xi felt that the golden light this time seemed to be more dazzling than any previous times!

however……

This didn't seem to be an illusion! The dazzling golden light instantly engulfed his body. In the last moment of losing consciousness, Chen Xi looked at the four "little fish" that appeared on his phone and couldn't help but feel refreshed, but he still inevitably lost all consciousness.

The rain, one drop, two drops, and then a whole drop, mercilessly hit the face of the defenseless boy lying at the end of the alley. If you look closely, you can find that the rain does not only seem to be falling downwards, but it is still difficult to distinguish it mixed in with the downpour.

"Chen Xi!"

"Um……?"

"Chen Xi..."

The boy regained consciousness and sat up suddenly, breathing in the air deeply.

"Hiss—was that someone calling my name just now? By the way, where is this place! Wasn't I in class just now?"

The cool wind took away the last trace of disharmony in his mind and made him understand the current situation.

"Damn, have I traveled through time?"

Chen Xi couldn't help but get excited after realizing this. He took the lead in checking his condition. He found that his cotton coat had been replaced with a sophisticated suit.

Look down, wow! Chelsea!

Well, of course not, it’s just a pair of leather shoes that look very high-end.

When this set of equipment appeared on him, even Chen Xi, who had never paid attention to this kind of items, could feel its considerable value.

This is definitely something he couldn't afford even if he saved his living expenses for four years!

Call ~

With a long sigh, Chen Xi quickly accepted the fact that he had traveled through time.

Who doesn’t have a childish streak when they are young? What’s more, this kind of plot that only appears in novels happens to you.

Just thinking about it is exciting enough!

Just after accepting the fact that he was a time traveler, Chen Xi felt a little regretful.

The rain... is wrong.

It is clearly raining now, but the area around him is dry, as if a field has been opened to block him out.

"Haha, I said that the time traveler must be the chosen one, hahahaha~~~."

Unlike the heroic content, the voices became smaller and smaller.

The devilish vibrato at the end of the words further illustrates the state of mind of the voice's owner at the moment.

Even after using such a childish reason to comfort himself, Chen Xi still felt quite scared.

The rain was right in front of him, but this strange feeling of isolation that was visible, smellable, but untouchable still made his back feel cold for no reason.

Want to try it?

Chen Xi made up his mind, closed his eyes and stretched out his hand, and as expected, nothing happened.

Chen Xi stared blankly at his hand as he withdrew it. The liquid flowing in his palm was colorless and odorless. Well, it was just ordinary water for sure.

But my palm is clearly facing up, so why is there so much water on the back of my hand?

Chen Xi rubbed the back of his hands in confusion. Suddenly, a crazy idea appeared in Chen Xi's mind:

It's a rainstorm! Have I traveled to a world where I've returned to the future?!

As if he had discovered a new world, Chen Xi was so excited that he almost jumped up! But he soon calmed down.

"Well, now that we've traveled here, it means we might run into characters like Verdin."

"Taking various factors into consideration, I need to determine my location and era as soon as possible, otherwise I will probably miss the main storyline."

"You can't join the Foundation before you meet Verdin, otherwise you might not be able to go with the protagonist team to rescue Snyder."

"And then there's the language… I haven't seen much English since the Gaokao! I wish I could still have a built-in language translation function!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Xi immediately decided on the most important thing at the moment -

That is to see which four six-stars you got in ten consecutive draws! (Please, this is very important, very important)

Hehehe, I hope it’s Sister Mistletoe.

I was lucky enough to find a lunch box under the tree. Although I returned it very quickly, it still didn't prevent the foot hanging from the tree from going straight into Chen Xi's heart~.

Chen Xi reached into his pocket while generating electricity and fantasizing, but the familiar touch did not come.

"Yeah, I've traveled through time, so how could my phone still be on me?"

Sighing, Chen Xi took out the things in his pocket with a constipated look on his face.

"what is this?"

Chen Xi looked back and forth at the thing in his hand.

"An orange pane of glass?"

As if answering his question, the card vibrated and gradually began to display words:

【Character name】Chen Xi

[Gender] Male

【Race】God&%￥*@

【Birthday】December 11

【Height】176cm

……

【Mysticism】???

Sliding to the bottom of the screen, there is something that looks like the Back to the Future game icon, but it is still gray at this time.

"Gone?"

Chen Xi swiped the screen up and down quickly in disbelief, but nothing new appeared except the same text introduction.

"Can you please tell me what the hell this place is?"

Chen Xi was furious at the board, but the glass board, which was obviously not an intelligent device, would not give him any response.

"Hey."

When people are too immersed in their own world, they tend to ignore some of the malice from the world.

An arm was placed on Chen Xi's shoulder at some point, and the smell of alcohol instantly rushed into Chen Xi's nose.

"that……"

A dagger was silently pressed against Chen Xi's neck. A tingling sensation ran along the blood vessels to the top of his head, and blood dripped along the blade of the dagger into Chen Xi's clothes.

"Actually, I don't want to see blood either. If you can just hand over the money you have, we won't make things difficult for you."

"After all, young masters like you are usually very generous, aren't they?"

Just as he finished speaking, two more people walked out from the darkness of the alley. The evil smiles on their faces made Chen Xi feel like he was not a person but a delicious lamb.

Even though the situation was quite tense, Chen Xi was still keenly aware that the language they spoke was English, and strangely, he could understand it. It was like reading subtitles in an original movie.

"Okay, okay, don't hurt me."

"Know the signs."

After the gangster let go of the dagger, Chen Xi's legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

Breathing in the air in big gulps, although he was not out of danger yet, Chen Xi still felt grateful for having survived the disaster.

He fumbled his hand into his pocket, took out something and threw it back.

"This is the only thing I have! I'm giving it to you, no thanks!"

Before the thugs could react, Chen Xi had already rushed out.

"What? He dares to play tricks on us? Brothers, catch him!"

Before that damn push on the back came, Chen Xi still thought he could escape, but in fact, Chen Xi was lying on the ground like a frog.

"Te!"

Before Chen Xi could feel disgusted by the saliva on his face, the man's shoe had already stepped heavily on Chen Xi's face.

"Dare to play tricks on us little brats?"

The heel of the shoe spun and stomped down on Chen Xi's face, as if expressing his master's anger. As if not satisfied yet, the thug raised his foot and kicked Chen Xi's unprotected stomach.

"Ah...ah."

"That...that's all I have."

Another kick.

"There should be a limit to how you can tease us."

The gangster squatted down and grabbed Chen Xi's hair, forcing him to look at him.

"There's nothing going on, do you really think we're that easy to fool?!"

"how come……"

"Forget it, just give it a beating and throw it away, hey."

Hearing this, Chen Xi felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, with two huge shadows covering him. He closed his eyes silently, as if compromising with his fate.

however……

"Clang-crack-"

After waiting for a long time, the imagined punches and kicks did not come. It was not until the sound of a metal object falling that Chen Xi dared to open his eyes again.

"Ok?"

The scene before my eyes could no longer be described as bizarre.

Pink rain, yellow rain, blue rain, spread like oil paint in the water. The corners of the buildings began to liquefy, taking on strange, cartoon-like outlines. An overhead advertisement fell, splashing rain all over Chen Xi's face. The rain in the sky was flowing backwards.

Chen Xi witnessed the disappearance of an era with his own eyes - the rainstorm saved him.

The scene before him was strange and unusual, but unfortunately, only Chen Xi could see it, and the only thing that witnessed with him the rainstorm that washed away an era was the dagger that fell beside him.

Chen Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he realized that he was safe. The severe pain in his body came at the right time, causing him to gradually lose consciousness in such a rainy night.

Frankly speaking, this is the author's first time writing, so please bear with me if the writing is not good. Thank you (humbly). This time, the setting is the first rainstorm, which means there will be quite a while before the protagonist meets Verdin and the others, so please don't criticize the author for this (after all, in order to facilitate the interaction with other characters, you also need to give the protagonist some time to grow). If you enjoy reading it, that would be great. Finally, I hope to receive your support by urging me to update more. Thank you!!!
