Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

The last moment of his memory stayed on the knife that suddenly stabbed him. After that knife, it felt like all the nerves in his body were torn apart and trampled, as if all kinds of pain in the world found Chen Xi at that moment.

At that time, he did not die immediately. The pain continued to torture him until he finally felt himself being cut into pieces bit by bit.

Every time he was cut, his consciousness would become weaker. Chen Xi didn't know how long this process lasted until he completely lost consciousness.

And now, he opened his eyes.

"Roar--!"

No one would want to see a roaring beast rushing towards them the moment they open their eyes.

But this is the fact now, and there is no room for doubt.

Then, before he could raise his arms to defend himself, Chen Xi was knocked out and hit hard against the wall.

A fishy-sweet smell suddenly rushed up his throat, but he no longer had the strength to react to the outside world.

His abdomen was hit and sunken, and he was completely beyond help.

The beast rushed towards him again, but Chen Xi just closed his eyes quietly and let it tear his body apart.

Tear off the limbs, bite open the stomach, pull out the bloody intestines, liver, kidneys... throw them into the air and then bite and swallow them.

Before he died, Chen Xi heard an emotionless and cold female voice:

"Sure enough, the first generation's body is too weak to deal with such a monster.

What's the health level for this experiment? Three health points? Okay, write this down and get ready for the next experiment..."

……

Xu Hai was still wearing a black robe, wandering aimlessly on the streets.

The children were holding windmills and running past him laughingly. The leader of the children kept looking back and calling out to his friends behind him, reminding them to catch up quickly while continuing to run forward.

"You...you guys, slow down, wait...wait for me...wuwuwuwu."

The entire team was roughly divided into three parts: the leader of the children in the front, the two following behind him, the large group of children in the middle, and at the end of the team, a little girl who was crying and trying hard to keep up but couldn't.

"Wait for me..."

Xu Hai smiled and stopped to watch the child pass by him, wondering what he was thinking.

Perhaps he was too focused, or perhaps the child was already exhausted, and the child at the end of the team bumped into Xu Hai without paying attention.

"Hug...sorry!"

The child who bumped into Xu Hai lost his balance and fell to the ground due to the reaction force.

But she quickly got up, without even having time to wipe the tears from her face, and quickly bowed to Xu Hai to apologize.

"I'm...I'm sorry, sir. I...I didn't mean to."

My mother repeatedly reminded me not to provoke the nobles walking on the street, otherwise they would capture me and take me to the farm as a slave!

The little girl closed her eyes in fear, but the rude scolding she imagined did not come. Instead, she felt an incredible touch coming from above her head.

"It's okay, just be more careful next time."

Xu Hai gently touched the little girl's head and quickly calmed her trembling body.

"Here, brother has some candy here, take it and share it with your friends."

The little girl looked at the candy being handed to her in shock.

That sweet taste can only be tasted every Thanksgiving when my mother would take out a piece of black sugar from the cupboard and hand it to my sister, brother and myself.

However, just that small piece is enough to make the little girl happy for a long time, not to mention the dazzling array of colorful candies in her hand!

"First... sir, can I really?"

Xu Hai didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.

The little girl was surprised and happy. She quickly bowed and thanked him, then caught up with her companion in front as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

Without reminding her again to remember to share it with her companions, Xu Hai continued walking forward and disappeared into the crowd.

Early the next morning...

"daughter!"

The same cry of grief rang out simultaneously in fifteen families.

Xu Hai sat on the edge of the top floor of a tall tower, took a bite of the hot dog in his hand, and looked down at the newspaper in his hand:

Fifteen children died mysteriously overnight. Is it a coincidence or a curse? The occultist is once again at the center of controversy.

Licking the sauce on his lips, Xu Hai let go of the newspaper, which was still blown away by the wind, and murmured:

"Sure enough, even children are not okay. Is there really no pattern?"

Jumping off the tower, Xu Hai fell into the shadows again.

"Want to try something bigger?"

As he said this, he had already arrived at a water source in a small town and sprinkled some dark red powder with an expressionless face.

"Wait."

Xu Hai found the tallest tree outside the town and sat on the top of it, then yawned.

The sun rose and set, and Xu Hai just sat on the tree. He didn't feel bored, nor did he go anywhere else. He just sat there.

Even the screams coming from the town did not make him frown.

Another cycle of sun and moon changed, and there was no sound in the town. Xu Hai jumped down from the tree and walked into the town along the road.

On the way, he passed by a pool of dried blood, but he walked straight past it as if he didn't see it.

After all, Xu Hai watched how this man fled from the town in terror, exploded on the way, and turned into a bloody mist.

Xu Hai still clearly remembered how one of his eyeballs flew out, dragging its long optic nerve, rolled on the ground several times, and was taken away by a crow.

After pushing open the doors of several houses, the scenes inside the houses were all blood-stained walls, with broken intestines and stomachs hanging on them, dried up and sticky, giving off a foul stench of decay.

There was no careful inspection, but just repeated the process of pushing the door, scanning, going to the next house, pushing the door, scanning... Xu Hai had the same expressionless face throughout the whole process.

"Well, was the amount too much?"

It was not until he opened the doors of half the town and saw the same result everywhere that Xu Hai realized this belatedly.

He shrugged his shoulders and didn't care. It was just an experiment anyway. Some sacrifices and deaths were inevitable. What's more, these were just ordinary people under the "rainstorm".

If you die, you die. It doesn’t matter.

The doors of most houses in the town have been opened, but Xu Hai still hasn't found a single living person.

Until I pushed open the door of a house again, the surrounding environment began to distort, and then one drop, two drops... more and more raindrops began to fly into the sky.

"Has the 'rainstorm' started yet?"

Without caring about what was inside the opened door, Xu Hai turned and walked into the "rainstorm", muttering:

"Maybe we can try that woman, maybe it will work. It can also be considered a gift to that boy."

However, as Xu Hai turned to leave, he never imagined that behind him, there was a girl with bloodshot eyes. She was struggling to open her eyes and staring at Xu Hai's back as he left...

I didn’t update the day before yesterday, so I’ll make up for it.
