Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

As Chen Xi left, the room returned to darkness, and a cold light came on, shining from bottom to top on Constantine's face.

She had to admit that she had somewhat underestimated this young man.

All the strategies and plans seemed to be useless in the face of absolute power, but he also possessed meticulous thinking besides strength.

But what concerned her most was the words Chen Xi said before he left:

"Although I didn't expect to have this conversation with you this early in the morning, in this way. But I think we might have another confrontation soon."

These words seemed like a threat, but also a reminder.

What kind of relationship does Chen Xi have with Virtin? This is directly related to how the Foundation handles issues related to Si Chen in the future.

He sighed and held his forehead with one hand.

After playing chess for many years, a sudden change completely overturned everything he had worked so hard to build.

Veldin, Foundation, Chenxi, Hand of Reshaping.

Those in high positions must think more deeply to ensure that the foundation, like a giant tree, can stand tall in troubled times.

Fortunately, no matter what, the Foundation still holds the Viltine card firmly in its hands.

Judging from Chen Xi's current performance, this would be a very good dog leash, even if the dog she is tying up is a vicious wolf that may kill its master at any time.

Just as I was thinking about my next plan, there was a knock on the office door. The person who walked in was my long-time friend in the workplace - Ms. Z/Zhang Zhizhi.

"Good afternoon, Miss Z."

"Good afternoon, Vice President."

"When it's just the two of us, there's no need to be so distant."

I smiled and asked her to sit down, but Ms. Z still stood stubbornly by the desk.

After adjusting the slightly slipped frame of his glasses, Zhang Zhizhi handed the documents sealed in the file bag to Constantine:

"Recently, a group of mystics called the Scarlet Guild has emerged. Although they are not very large at present, they have infiltrated all walks of life in human society like a ghost and are constantly growing.

They also seem to have close ties with the Brotherhood, and we speculate that they also hold the 'truth' of this world."

Zhang Zhizhi's tone was neither hurried nor slow, as if he was reporting the matter calmly, as if it were a machine.

"The archive contains the detailed information we have collected. We will report any new developments as soon as possible."

"Well, thank you."

Having opened the file bag and looking through the photos, documents, reports, and the Scarlet Union's propaganda poster, Constantine narrowed his eyes in amusement.

……

Either he was directly rejected or he was driven away maliciously. In short, the journey to find Vertin's ward was not very smooth.

Fortunately, after several twists and turns, Chen Xi finally brought Anya to the door of Veldin's ward.

But before him, it seemed that there were other guests who planned to visit Veldin.

It was an orange-haired girl with the smell of a puppy. She was holding her hands to her chest and looking nervously through the glass door at the silver-haired girl lying quietly inside.

"Aren't you going in?"

The sudden sound seemed to startle her, but her high level of self-control allowed her to control herself in time and not scream.

Sonnet politely stepped aside, letting the door open, and bowed in apology.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm in your way."

But Sonnet waited for a long time, and the figure in front of him did not move. Instead, he felt a gaze shining from above his head, and it did not move.

Finally, he couldn't help but raise his head. When he met those blue eyes, Sonnet's reaction was even greater than the shock he had just felt:

"You are the one on the wanted poster! Why are you here? Are you going to hurt Si Chen again?"

In an instant, she held the crystal pen in her hand, and the tip flashed with the glow of mystic magic.

Anya also protected Chen Xi in the first moment, but she noticed that when she stood up, the glow at the tip of the staff flickered violently for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"Misunderstanding."

Quietly putting Anya behind him, Chen Xi raised his hands and looked at Sonnet who was staring at him seriously with a smile.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Foundation's wanted notice for me has been cancelled. You can check."

Although his hands did not move, Chen Xi's body still moved slightly and pressed towards Sonnet.

"do not move!"

Looking at the body that was half a head taller than him pressing towards him, Sonnet gripped his staff even more nervously, pointing it directly at Chen Xi's nose.

But Chen Xi still smiled lightly, stretched out his hand, and gently extinguished the glow of the unique mysterious technique.

"Do you want to start a war with me here? But it will disturb Verdin."

"You should also know that she is in a very bad state now."

Sonnet seemed to have completely ignored Chen Xi's words. She tried hard to pull her crystal pen out of the other person's hand, but those two seemingly slender and thin fingers had tremendous strength, clamping the pen tip tightly so that she could not move it at all.

At the same time, the mystical energy he output was like light shining into the abyss, without any feedback.

"Don't be so anxious. I'm here to save Veldin. No one else can heal her injuries except me. And this has been approved by the Vice President."

He continued to express his purpose, and Sonnet struggled for a while, and finally relaxed his tense hands. Chen Xi also showed a satisfied smile and reached out to snap his fingers in Sonnet's ear.

After a moment of trance, Sonnet was surprised to find that Chen Xi, who had been standing in front of her, had returned to his female companion, and the crystal pen that she had been holding in her hand had returned to her pocket at some point.

Illusion? When?

Chen Xi smiled secretly and patted You Meng's butt as she was floating beside him:

"Thanks, brother~"

He turned around and was about to push the door open to enter the house, but before entering, Chen Xi whispered to Anya:

"Wait here for me. The next treatment might make a lot of noise, so you can help me suppress it outside."

Finally, he turned back to look at the sonnet who was still absorbed in his thoughts and smiled:

"This little girl has some special feelings for Verdin. You can tease her a little later."

After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked in, leaving the world outside to the two of them, while he faced the sins he had committed alone.

……

"This matter needs to be clarified. We may encounter similar situations when carrying out missions in the future, so we must take precautions in advance..."

Still lost in his thoughts, Sonnet was completely oblivious to the girl who had come close to him.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

"Let me make it clear in advance, if you also have your eye on Chen Xi, don't expect me to give in easily."

As she spoke, Anya put her hands on her hips in front of Sonnet, looking extremely arrogant.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, but looking at Anya's face that was close to him, Sonnet didn't know what he was thinking. His face suddenly turned red, and he gently pushed her away. He took a step back and stepped aside, whispering:

"too close."

Seeing Sonnet's shy expression, Anya seemed to have discovered a new world. Her expression gradually became wanton, and she deliberately put her ear close to Sonnet:

"I didn't hear what you said."

But this time it seemed to have the opposite effect. Sonnet took a deep breath and his eyes suddenly became firm.

Anya secretly thought that something was wrong and quickly distanced herself from him, but Sonnet had already taken out his crystal pen and released a mysterious spell:

"Arc paralysis."

Anya's eyes flashed with cold light, and she condensed a dagger to shatter the flying spell, then she stared at the opposite side with the same vigilance.

"Si Chen is a great person who has made many indelible contributions to the Foundation and humanity. You are not allowed to use her face to do such frivolous things."

Holding the staff tightly, Sonnet looked at Anya opposite him seriously.

And more and more frost began to cling to the dagger in Anya's hand, gradually turning it into a giant sickle.

Inside the house, Chen Xi glanced outside the door, sighed and shook his head:

"Has a fight started? I hope Youmeng can handle it. I just hope the two girls don't hurt each other."

If you ask Chen Xi why he didn't go out to stop it, it's because he was already standing in front of Vertin's bed, and saw that the "second heart" beating in her abdomen had begun to become weak, and felt that the vitality in her body was rapidly fading.

We can't delay any longer, we must get treatment immediately!
