Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

"Hello, you must be Miss Manager. But there is one thing I want to make clear—"

Even though the surroundings kept telling her that she should respect the people in front of her, Zhixinquan still boldly expressed her thoughts.

"I just made up a new name so I wouldn't be called that. If you really 'know everything,' you should know that."

"I know, but that doesn't conflict with you being a little clueless."

I didn't feel offended. Even though I couldn't see her face clearly, I could still hear a faint smile in her words.

"Manager, please stop teasing her."

The lantern attendant also spoke up to stop the manager's playful behavior. Chen Xi, who was standing by, felt that this person was very kind: just like him, he also likes to play tricks on others.

"Now that you know the situation, please tell us what should we do?"

He closed the book in his hand with a snap and put it back on the bookshelf where it belonged.

The manager walked down from the top of the bookshelf on a platform made of light and shadow. The light and shadow disappeared behind her and reappeared in front of her, extending straight in front of the people in the paper letter circle.

"My first suggestion is that it would be best for your friend to get her name back as soon as possible. Otherwise..."

Equality hates everyone who breathes heavily when speaking, except himself.

After the curiosity of the paper letter circle was fully aroused, the manager slowly asked a question:

"Tell me, little fool, what did you have for dinner yesterday?"

"Why are you asking? I ate... I ate..."

Curiosity aroused the Paper Letter Circle, but she only received such a strange question. However, she soon understood the purpose of this question.

"Strange, I...I don't remember."

"That's what happens to 'the one with no name.' They gradually forget their past, who they are."

The manager placed his hand on Paper Letter Circle's cheek and stared into her eyes through the invisible mist.

"Banagh won't let such a delicious poor creature go. Unless you want to fill their stomachs with yourself, you will never be able to leave this street in your life."

The warmth of the palm left his cheek, and Zhixinquaner was dumbfounded for a long time.

Deep down, she still harbored a lingering suspicion about what was happening, wondering if this was just a very vivid dream...

But the fact that she "couldn't remember her name and yesterday's dinner" was clearly before her eyes and she couldn't ignore it.

"Okay... then, what should I do?"

Accepting her fate, she suppressed the strangeness in her heart and asked.

"You know where people often find things they've lost?"

"...their own pockets?"

"You don't look that confused."

If he could see her expression, Chen Xi felt that there must be a relieved smile on her face at this moment.

She is indeed someone who can be my mother!

Hiding his madness deep in his heart, Chen Xi remained indifferent on the surface.

Zhixinquan'er stared with his eyes wide open, reached into his pocket doubtfully, and actually touched something.

"I forgot, this thing is still in my pocket."

That strange expression eliminated all possibility of admitting fault. The fuse of the whole incident was quietly lying in the hand of the paper letter circle.

"But that's not my name? I felt it, and there's nothing in this pocket—"

"what is this?"

Vivid points of light flew out of the pocket that should have been empty. They circled around the paper letter, dancing and flickering quietly.

"firefly?"

The lantern keeper stretched out her hand curiously, trying to feel their light, but the little fireflies slipped away nimbly through her fingers.

"No, this is..."

When he saw the light emitted by those little things, an inexplicably familiar feeling surged into Zhixinquan'er's heart.

"Now that I remember, I had some baked beans and vegetable soup last night!"

"This is... my name!"

The girl shouted excitedly, and those shiny little gadgets seemed to understand the call of the paper letter ring. After flying around her playfully for two circles, they obediently returned to the pocket that said "No! Open me!"

"After the goblins steal the names, they hide them."

"Usually, they like to hide the names of those little fools in other people's precious things, deliberately making it difficult for you to find them.

But leaving one on you and watching you search around without even realizing it is one of their favorite pastimes."

A cup of tea appeared from nowhere, and the manager held the cup and looked elegantly at the paper letter circle, which was squinting its eyes and thinking about something.

“Really good taste.”

There are always some shocking words coming out of this child's mouth, and sometimes they are not very cute.

"I would be more willing to applaud them if I wasn't the one being teased."

"…Wait, you said 'leave one', is that just part of my name?"

I opened my eyes wide, thinking it was the end, but it turned out to be the beginning.

"Sure, let me see… your name has seven letters, so you have six left."

"But be careful, these fragile little creatures can't last long without their owners. You'd better find them before dawn, otherwise..."

"You will forever forget your name and who you are."

"……All right……"

After a long pause, a seemingly indifferent tone came from the paper letter circle:

"It seems my plan to go home and get scolded will have to be postponed for a while."

……

"Like the administrator said, they will hide your name in various places, but those fireflies should be able to tell you where the other names are."

"Let me see... they seem to want to fly in that direction."

"Ah! I know that place. It's the direction of the zombie cemetery."

"Is that so? Wait, where did you say..."

……

"Aren't you going with them?"

On the tea table, the manager pushed a cup of hot tea to the opposite side.

The white-haired boy picked it up and took a sip.

"Good tea."

Although I don't know much about the tea ceremony, but given the current atmosphere, there is absolutely nothing wrong with saying this!

"Would you like a refill?"

The manager held up the teapot that appeared out of nowhere, and Chen Xi handed over the teacup without hesitation.

"So, what are you planning to do here today?"

When this cup was handed to him again, Chen Xi did not rush to drink it, but took out the can of fresh Sorrow that he had bought before and placed it on the table.

"This is?"

Before the manager could continue asking, Chen Xi had already opened the lid.

A sharp scream that lasted for ten seconds suddenly rushed out of the bottle, and the wind it brought blew Chen Xi's hair into a big backcomb.

"Hahahahaha, this is really interesting!"

Chen Xi covered the empty jar and put it away again.

The manager glanced at Chen Xi who was having fun, and silently poured himself another cup of tea.

A shrill scream, the highest quality of wails.

It has the effect of causing mental confusion and creating fear.

For different individuals, it may even cause various mental illnesses such as insanity, madness, mania, fear, and paranoia.

But the human in front of him simply commented that it was fun.

"Okay, I'm not as complicated as you think. I'm just a lunatic with some skills, a confused mystic."

Pulling the tea in the cup suspended in the air, the translucent green tea turned into a perfect water ball as if it had lost gravity in space.

"When I saw this story, I wondered if everything here was real."

The water ball instantly boiled and turned into a cloud of rising mist, leaving only a wisp of burnt tea fragrance in the air.

"Even if I really came here and saw everything here, I still wouldn't dare to make any rash conclusions."

The manager did not speak, but quietly did one of the things he was best at - listening.

"But, in this world, there is at least one thing I can be sure of her truth."

The dissipated mist solidified again, turning into an ice blade pointing at the manager's nose.

"You are not as polite as you first appeared, Mr. Chenxi."

Calmly push away the ice in front of you, letting it disappear into thin air the next moment.

"Like I said, I'm a lunatic..."

"You're still a little bit capable, right?"

Taking over Chen Xi's words, the manager remained calm from beginning to end.

"So what exactly do you want to do?"

Resting his chin on his crossed hands, the mist on the manager's face faded a little, revealing the charming corners of his mouth.

"Do what you've always done."

Knowing that those eyes were observing him with interest, Chen Xi went up to them without any hesitation.

"I want to take people away from here."

"Oh~ You mean that child? Can you tell me the reason?"

Slowly relaxing his shoulders, the manager no longer looked like an elder as he did at the beginning, and slumped lazily in his chair.

"Well... I just think she's pretty cute?"

Feeling the change in the manager's aura, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh, this is also a slippery old fox.

Sister, I can do it!

"Of course I won't force her. I will respect her own choice."

"Just like you did to Liberty."

"Hmm~"

He changed his posture, supporting his head with his hands as if he was tired, but the corner of his mouth still had that smile that Chen Xi couldn't stand.

"Then let us look forward to what choice our children will make."

----

To be honest, it's really boring to just follow the plot, alas.

That’s why I’ve been writing my own stories, even though, well… it’s a bit choppy, right? (?_?|||)

Chen Xi has been separated, and I will still finish writing Zhixinquan’s personal story, but it’s basically no different from copying a book, so I don’t like it very much.

I will try to update more of my personal story with the paper letter circle these two days. After all, it is very convenient because I don’t have to waste my brain and think about the plot myself (the only advantage).

Anyway, this update is about the story of Uluru Dudu Bone. After that, um, it’s almost time to go find our Captain Xingti and enter the main storyline!

Snyder, Snyder~The master is here!

In short, please continue to support us and interact with us. I love you~
