Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

When they returned to the box, Chen Xi and his group saw Xing Ti protecting Apple behind him, staring at Sonnet and the two foundation members sitting on the sofa with a vigilant look on his face.

Seeing Virtine coming back, Sonnet immediately jumped up from the sofa, moved closer to Virtine, and looked her up and down.

Only after she was sure there were no injuries did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew~ I'm glad you're okay, Si Chen. You've been carrying such a secret for us all this time, it's really hard for you."

Before Xiao Shisi finished speaking, Chen Xi's big hand was already on her head, and he rudely messed up the orange puppy's hair:

"With me here, nothing can happen to Verdin. When there's danger, my side is the safest place. As for when there's no danger..."

Hearing Chen Xi's words, Sonnet seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly took a step back and bowed to Chen Xi:

"Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen Xi is also... The Foundation has also given Chen Xi the same title of Si Chen. And I will also serve as the first assistant of the two and assist you."

Her answer surprised Chen Xi. When did he become Si Chen of the foundation? Did I agree?

They really flatter me, and they're not afraid that I'll tell their headquarters about it if I'm in a bad mood.

Of course, Chen Xi only thought about these words in his mind. They were all trivial matters to him. As long as they did not touch his reverse scale and did not target his family, Chen Xi could turn a blind eye.

However, at this point Chen Xi no longer had the heart to play around, and took Virtin with him to explain the current situation to Xing Tin, just like in the plot.

Seeing Xingti choose to believe Veldin just like in the game and follow the remaining two foundation members back to the foundation, Chen Xi finally relaxed.

Unlike the plot, because of his own appearance at this time, Vertin did not help Xingti escape and engage in a series of small interactions to deepen the relationship.

Fortunately, she managed to capture him with the charm of her Queen of Ten Thousand Females. She thought it wouldn't be long before Sonnet would bring them their first mission after the team was fully assembled.

only……

Thinking of this, Chen Xi turned his gaze to Snyder who had been standing quietly beside him.

She changed into the clothes that Chen Xi was familiar with, which seemed to be found in the closet in her own room.

After the corresponding characters move into your own wasteland, a certain number of sharp teeth will be consumed to automatically buy them suitable clothes, which is really helpful.

Snyder, who was responsible for the assassination, is standing here. So who is the person in charge of this task now?

However, noticing his master's gaze, Snyder's expressionless face suddenly broke into a smile.

As she slowly walked towards Chen Xi, holding the gun with one finger, Sonnet also introduced the mission to the rest of the people:

"According to the latest historical intelligence, a massacre targeting occultists will occur in Chicago on February 2th. We need to rescue the victims before the human gangsters reach the underground garage."

"Master, why are you staring at me at this time? Is there something special about this matter?"

As he spoke, Snyder's gun was already against Chen Xi's chest.

"Bang~"

The slightly pursed lips emitted a light popping sound, but the open cherry mouth did not carry the power of a bullet. Instead, the tender and affectionate eyes, the emotions emanating from them, shot into Chen Xi's heart.

"Ahem!"

Chen Xi raised her hand and pinched Snyder's cheek, which reflected full of temptation. Her ears turned slightly red and she turned her head to the side.

"It's okay. It's just a small mission. You can stay in the box with everyone else. I'll go with Verdin and Sonnet."

"Hehe~ Since it's the master's order, I will of course obey it. However, I hope that after you come back, you will be willing to tell me what the master has hidden."

Then she put away the gun, turned around, stepped into the shadow of the corridor in the box, and disappeared into the depths of the darkness.

"Chenxi, you're not taking me with you this time?"

After Snyder disappeared, Anya pulled his sleeve to express her dissatisfaction.

"This is just a small mission. You won't be of much use going there. But it's a good opportunity for Sonnet to gain experience. There's still a lot of time to go, so there's no need to rush now."

After comforting Anya, Chen Xi looked at the capsule containing the mission briefing with a serious expression. It should have emitted a citrus scent, but now it had a caramel flavor that made Chen Xi inexplicably irritated.

To what extent has he been reshaped...

When they got outside the box, Sonnet began to speak:

"The mission location is in the underground garage at 2122 Lincoln Park Street, two blocks away from us."

Chen Xi nodded, and subconsciously wanted to continue to open the space to teleport over, but Sonnet beside him suddenly grabbed his wrist, blushing and asking rather embarrassedly:

"Mr. Chenxi, can we take the bus there?"

Chen Xi came to his senses and remembered that he had already developed ahead of the current plot, but the child in front of him was still the blank slate who was trained by the foundation and knew nothing about the world.

"No problem, we still have time, let's enjoy the scenery along the way."

After that, he placed a few coins in Sonnet's hand and said with a little thought, as if teasing a small animal:

"These are the coins you need for the bus. There's a cash box on the bus. Just put one in. You can keep the rest as a souvenir. Think of it as a small reward for your first mission."

Hearing Chen Xi's words, Sonnet first widened his eyes in surprise, and then the slight disappointment that surged in his heart was transformed into a little joy and touching by the second half of his words.

"Let's go. If you're still in the mood after this mission, I can show you around the city."

"But, Mr. Chen Xi, the Foundation..."

"The Foundation is a piece of crap"

Before Sonnet could finish her words, Chen Xi interrupted her domineeringly.

Although it is indeed not easy for such a behemoth to survive safely in such a world, some of their practices seem really unkind to Chen Xi.

I need to find an opportunity to remove the mysterious spell engraved on Sonnet's heart. However, for a "hound" as loyal as her, will she agree to take off the "collar" around her neck?

Forget it, even if the Foundation activates the mysterious spell on Sonnet's heart in front of her in the future and wants to use it to threaten her, I can still save her. Why bother with all these trivial things?

As the street scene continued to stream past the car window, Chen Xi tossed the visibly excited orange puppy to Verdin, leaning against the creaking handrail and closing his eyes to rest...

"Phew...it's so cold here. I'm almost frostbitten."

Pushing open the door of the basement, Apple shook his bow tie, and the smooth apple skin flashed.

"Is that so? I don't seem to feel anything. Compared to our usual low-temperature training, it's still quite warm."

Hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but click his tongue. He could understand the Foundation's reasons for doing this, but... he still felt that this was too cruel for a teenager.

Clapping his hands, tiny sparks flashed across the space. Then the temperature returned to normal, the same level as the outside world.

"Mr. Chenxi."

Noticing the temperature change, Sonnet cast a puzzled look at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi shook his head slightly and said with some disdain:

"You've been on a mission with me, and you still have to endure such injustice?"

Hearing this, Sonnet said nothing more, and Apple expressed his sincere gratitude to Chen Xi.

"According to intelligence, there's still an hour until the incident occurs. Hmm..."

"Then, let's mark the distance from the entrance to the wall, and also here..."

As Sonnet finished her words, the glow of mysticism spread from the tip of her wand, connecting the several locations she had pointed out.

"What you drew in the air is... the restoration point of the historical victims' positions?"

Apple floated to the place where the sonnet had made a mark, with a hint of surprise in her tone.

"Yes, I restored it to its actual proportions. This way, we can calculate a hiding place that provides cover while not hindering our immediate entry into the battle."

"When it comes to matters involving other people's lives, I want to be as cautious as possible. What if..."

At this point, Sonnet's face was tinged with a hint of panic.

"No, it's nothing. I'm not worried about my own life, I just..."

"It's ok."

Verdin spoke at the right time, interrupting her next words.

"They won't know."

"Shh—be quiet, someone's coming—two drunken humans!"

Apple, who had not joined the conversation, was the first to notice the unusual atmosphere and quietly reminded Virtin and Sonnet.

"We can't let them hang around here. It's too dangerous! Gang fights will definitely hurt them."

"Knock them out quickly."

Verdin suggested clearly and took the initiative.

……

"how's it going?"

"The skin damage is less than or equal to 5mm. There is currently no internal organ damage or mental disturbance. In summary, the injuries they suffered meet the requirements of the Foundation Emergency Defense Regulations."

Verdin was already accustomed to Sonnet's stellar speeches. He dragged the two men to the parked cars in the underground garage without changing his expression.

"It looks like they'll be a while before they wake up. Let's hide them under the car first."

"Time is running out, let's get back to our hiding place. ...Mr. Apple, why do you look so down?"

Noticing that the Apple's skin was a little dull, Veldin asked.

"...Apple found a bag of sharp teeth and a child's severed finger in the pockets of the two drunks."

"That's a currency that only circulates in the occult community."

……

Hearing this, Sonnet's expression darkened first. She stammered, "

"Maybe...it's just..."

"This was 1929, a time of rampant racial discrimination."

Apple, in a bad mood, interrupted Sonnet's attempt to come up with an excuse that she herself didn't necessarily believe.

There was another silence, and then Xiao Shisi said firmly:

"...This is also the reason why we must stop this massacre. For the peace of mankind."

If my memory serves me right, there should have been a sharp sound of brakes outside the underground garage, but there wasn't one...

In the silent environment, the only sound was the increasingly disturbing sound of the sticky liquid flowing, followed by the shrill screams of human beings.

"Why, it's not time yet, and the occultist hasn't even come in yet?!"

Sonnet was very surprised by the unexpected mistake, but before she could react to the sudden situation, Virtin had already grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the door of the underground garage.

"Damn it, let's get out!"

I'm guilty of changing daily updates to weekly ones. I'm currently working on a chapter though, so I'll post it when it's done.

But it’s time to go to bed. I can’t stay up late as I want when I go home on vacation. I don’t know if it will affect my typing skills.
