Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

Although it was quite rude to think so, in Chen Xi's cognition, this world once again became what he felt like before he traveled through time and space - that is, the world of games.

So, when Snyder, whom he had been thinking about in his previous life, really stood in front of him, Chen Xi regretfully found that his heart was not moved at all.

He bent down and extended a hand to the lady before him like a gentleman. If one ignores the terrified screams of the people around them and the increasingly clear sound of sirens, the two of them at this moment looked like a couple about to step onto the dance floor at an aristocratic party.

Snyder looked at the hand that was offered to her. She didn't know how her life would change if she held it.

A scene that could be called magic appeared before him. The boy seemed to have completed the transformation of his identity and class in just a moment... Could he and his family live that kind of life?

I have already been rejected by the foundation, and the remaining way out... seems more like a dead end.

Huh—Snyder took a long sigh and shook the hand that was offered to him amid the sharp brakes of the police car.

"Don't move! Put your hands up!"

The policeman's scolding came from the side not far away. Even without looking, one could imagine him holding a gun and staring at the two people's every move nervously.

Logically speaking, I should cooperate with the police officers and those rich and powerful government officials at this time, and raise my hands obediently to prevent those toys from "accidentally" firing and piercing my chest.

However, the boy before him seemed to possess a kind of magic. Once he stared into his eyes, he could no longer look away. All kinds of memories of his appearance and voice flooded his mind like a tide, forcibly and violently imprinting his image in his mind.

Therefore, Snyder knew that he could not make any unnecessary movements before the boy looked away from his face.

However, looking at the girl in front of him who was gradually showing an embarrassed expression, Chen Xi smiled slightly, picked up her hand and gently kissed the back of her hand:

"I'm honored that you would accept my invitation, Miss Snyder."

"Didn't you hear me tell you not to move?"

Following the roar, a massive gunshot rang out. Flames burst from the barrel, spitting out a seed of death that was bound to take the life of one of the men.

But at that moment, time seemed to suddenly slow down, so slow that Snyder could clearly see how the bullet cut through the air and passed before his eyes.

Under the long, slow trail of the bullet, Snyder saw with his own eyes how the boy in front of him disintegrated bit by bit, turned into dust, and disappeared without a trace in the wind.

"Don't move, raise your hand!"

Although he didn't understand the situation, the police officer had already seen the boy suddenly disappear, so he asked all the remaining people to point their guns at the "lady" who was left behind.

Just as Snyder was about to slowly raise his hands under the dark muzzle of the gun to avoid unnecessary trouble and harm.

But just as she was about to raise her hands, she felt a strong hand suddenly grab her wrists, binding both of them together and lifting them above her head. Then someone lifted her chin up and she looked at the emptiness in front of her and the gaze hidden in the invisible.

"boom!"

Another gunshot was heard, but the girl had turned into dust like the man before, and disappeared without a trace in the wind.

"Damn you occultist bastard! Find them! Everyone, dig deep to find these two guys tonight!"

Police cars, sirens, sheriffs; warnings, scoldings, gunshots...

So many, so many things that symbolize status, but they did not cause any ripples in the pool where the two people disappeared.

This was the first time that the police let criminals escape from under their noses. No matter what, Sheriff Delaire had decided to arrest the two men.

……

"Welcome to your new home, Miss Snyder."

What comes to mind before vision is hearing.

Many sounds, similar to gunshots, exploded in my ears, but for some reason, even though they were all explosions, the sounds did not make people feel scared. Instead... they gave me a feeling of security and joy.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the wasteland automatically setting off fireworks and firecrackers to welcome the new members, and my vision was filled with a dream-like scenery.

I'm sleepy, so I'll just write this much for now. I also need to think carefully about Snyder's future interactions with Chen Xi.
