Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

At night, Chen Xi was drifting off to sleep, the events of the past still occupying his mind like a nightmare, lingering. This also caused his sleep to be very light. In a trance, he seemed to feel something cold touch on his neck. Although there was no stinging sensation, the gradually increasing force still oppressed Chen Xi's breathing.

Chen Xi woke up instantly and tried to save his breath, but a familiar scratching feeling made him quickly take his hand away.

"I said he would wake up this way."

"You! You must apologize properly when the master wakes up!"

"Yes, yes, huh? And there's an unexpected bonus? Let me share some with you."

"Eh~ I don't want that!"

……

Chen Xi was stunned, the simple quarrel echoing in his mind. Great, you're all okay. Chen Xi raised his head as slowly as possible, not wanting the tears in his eyes to turn into little pearls and roll down.

"Anma, Daowu, are you really okay..."

But the ideal and touching reunion did not happen, and Chen Xi's half-brewing feelings were abruptly interrupted by the scene in front of him that was somewhat inappropriate for children.

Dao Wu's body was still stained with fresh blood, and with two small, slender hands stretched out, he reached towards Anma. Two pairs of hands of different colors entangled together, and under Chen Xi's powerful LS filter, a picture of a loli and a boy fighting each other successfully played out in his mind...

"Ahem..."

Chen Xi coughed lightly, awkwardly but politely, and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Master! You finally woke up!"

Hearing Chen Xi's voice, An Ma seemed to have found a savior. She immediately pounced on Chen Xi and went behind him to guard against Dao Wu.

"Dao Wu, why are you bullying Anma again?"

"But I'm so glad you're all okay."

Chen Xi smiled and touched the two of them with his uninjured hand.

"I'm not bullying her, I'm just helping her replenish her magic~"

Hmm! Chen Xi DNA, which had retrieved the keyword, couldn't help but jump, and then coughed lightly and asked aloud:

"So, is this magic replenishment you're doing a proper magic replenishment?"

Chen Xi raised his hand which was still slowly dripping with blood and asked Dao Wu.

"Of course I am! Well, how should I put it? Perhaps we, the mystics awakened by you, are actually not stable, so we need to replenish your blood regularly. However, at present, the time and amount required are uncertain."

"But the only thing we know is that if we overuse our mystical arts, we might end up in a state of void magic."

"And another troublesome thing is that before the energy is exhausted, there is no sign to remind us that we need to replenish it."

Listening to Dao Wu's story, Chen Xi's expression changed from sudden enlightenment at first, to shock, and then to a cosmic shadow. In the end, he could only weakly raise his palm:

"Would you like some more?"

Dao Wu swayed left and right, but before he could say anything, Anma had already run out from behind Chen Xi and gently covered Chen Xi's still bleeding wound.

"No need, Master. We feel fine now. And Dao Wu also gave me some of his share just now. It's okay."

As he spoke, a warm golden light emanated from Anma's shield technique. Although it wasn't a healing technique, it could still help Chenxi stop the bleeding.

"Anma is still good, much better than Daowu."

Chen Xi touched An Ma, causing her to grunt briefly. Dao Wu fell to the side, giving Chen Xi a rather vacant look.

"But judging by what Arcana said, she doesn't know you have self-awareness yet. That's a good thing. You can catch her off guard at the critical moment!"

"Come on, just be lucky that you don't get pinned down and beaten by someone. You'll still need me to save you in the end."

"Yes, Master, you can do it. I will protect you well!"

Two completely different words came from different places in the room, but Chen Xi seemed to have been accustomed to it. He tapped the two people's heads lightly and continued speaking.

"So now you have to be careful not to accidentally expose yourself. I will always keep you by my side. Then we have to find a chance to escape from here."

After all, I haven't met my little Verdin yet. I don't want to meet Verdin as an enemy later...

After finishing his little internal rant, Chen Xi fell back onto the bed and pulled out the card. He hadn't looked at it since awakening Dao Wu, and he didn't know if it had changed in any way.

Chen Xi flipped through the card, finding no significant changes to either his or Dao Wu's information. Even Dao Wu's mention of the limitations of his mystical arts remained unmentioned on the card. It seemed this card only provided minimal information; the rest would require self-exploration.

Chen Xi carefully read his and Dao Wu's profiles, hoping to find some differences. The other two lay down on either side of Chen Xi's pillow and read along with him. Flipping down, it turned out to be Anma's profile.

【Character name】Anma

[Gender] Female

[Race] Mystic

【Birthday】December 1

[Mystic 1] Group Buff (increases individual movement speed and endurance by 10%)

[Mystic 2] Shield (Reduces enemy damage by 5%~20%)

[Mystic 3] Glazed Shield (can block several enemy fatal attacks, cannot be used simultaneously with Mystic 2)

Tip: The effect of mysticism is related to output efficiency. Reasonable practice can improve output efficiency.

Anma's introduction was just as simple as Chenxi and Daowu's, but the following supplement was new. Although Chenxi and Daowu had previously discussed mystical techniques, being so directly confirmed to be effective still made Chenxi feel delighted.

However, the most interesting part was the back-to-the-future: 1999 icon at the end of the card. Chen Xi stared at it with a frown. The icon, which had been completely gray, had now regained a third of its color. This made Chen Xi look forward to what would happen if it were fully restored.

"Why did it recover? Is it because of that core?"

Chen Xi thought of his first trophy, which was gone before he could even warm his eyes. When he thought of this, Chen Xi felt a little indignant.

"When I cut through the stone, I did feel a surge of energy. Perhaps that's why I was able to cut you at the last moment. Otherwise, Anma and I might have died."

Dao Wu floated into the air again and interrupted at the right time.

"But the feeling of that energy is still far inferior to your blood."

Although he didn't know why Dao Wu sounded so proud when she said this, Chen Xi felt a chill run down his spine. Waving his hand to dispel the uneasiness in his heart, Chen Xi grabbed Dao Wu in his hand.

"Don't tell me, I was almost scared to death at that time. I thought you really wanted to kill me. Tell me how you plan to make amends?"

Chen Xi looked at Dao Wu with an evil smile on his face.

"I...what could I do? I was also unconscious at the time. I was lucky enough that I didn't actually stab you to death."

"Ah hey, I don't care, just let me have a good rest tonight!"

"No! No, let me go!"

Dao Wu shouted in resistance, and Anma beside him just laughed, thinking that things have changed and you have come to this day.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The sudden knock on the door shattered the gentle atmosphere in the room. Chen Xi instinctively pushed Dao Wu onto the bed and tucked Anma under the pillow.
