Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

The scattered consciousness gathered again, and Chen Xi felt as if he had fallen into a lake.

Gentle light shines from the surface of the lake to the bottom of the lake, moving slowly as if it has life.

I think lying on the bottom of a lake and looking at the sky is a very magical experience for anyone, not to mention that the water in the lake is completely weightless and has no sense of touch.

At the bottom of the lake, wooden supports supported something, emitting a soft light. Chen Xi seemed to recognize what it was, but he also knew that it was not his destination yet.

As I walked up the lakebed, the sound of water breaking through did not occur. It was as if even such a sound was discordant and unacceptable in this world.

This is a grassland full of greenery, but Chen Xi is so tired that he can hardly open his eyes. He doesn't have any energy to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

Following his life's instinct, Chen Xi wandered step by step through the wilderness until he came across a tree.

The lush branches trembled with emerald green, and a breath of vitality suddenly hit him. Chen Xi followed his heart and placed his hand on the trunk. The tree responded to his expectation and lit up with green light, allowing it to flow into Chen Xi's body.

Under the dual comfort of body and soul, Chen Xi opened his eyes.

forest.

Anma and Daowu also lay quietly beside Chenxi's head, one shimmering with light, the other gently surrounded by a hint of sword energy. Others couldn't see this, but Chenxi knew it was a sign that they were fast asleep.

The forest, bathed in sunlight, regained its vitality and vigor. If one could ignore the scattered corpses of demons, the forest would be filled with a delightful atmosphere.

Lying with Chen Xi was the witch doctor. His steady breathing indicated his vigorous vitality at this moment. He was resurrected.

Unlike last time, this time, Chen Xi thoroughly enjoyed the peace after the battle. His friend's steady heartbeat was the best compliment he could give him at that moment.

Gently shaking the witch doctor's body only earned him an impatient frown. Chen Xi remained unperturbed and continued with his actions.

After a moment, as if suddenly reacting, the witch doctor suddenly woke up and frantically felt his body up and down. However, apart from the torn clothes, the witch doctor's body had no wounds or even a scar to show that he had just experienced a battle.

When he finally confirmed that he was fine and still alive, tears began to fall unconsciously. The witch doctor covered his face with his hands, as if he was happy, but also excited, and his frail body trembled uncontrollably.

Chen Xi just smiled at him and didn't care that he ignored her.

After slapping the witch doctor on the back without any warning, Chen Xi said in a servile manner:

"Hey, buddy. Before you burst into tears, why don't you thank me for saving your life?"

The witch doctor, who was immersed in the resurrection from the dead, finally noticed his savior. He hugged Chen Xi and kept repeating "thank you, thank you".

"Hey, be gentle. You're strangling me."

The noise they made quickly alerted Anma and Daowu, who slowly woke up and were about to take flight. Chenxi, quick-witted, snatched the weapons from them the moment they made a move and returned them to his waist.

The witch doctor mistook this action for a struggle, and let Chen Xi go. However, his hands still held Chen Xi tightly, unwilling to let go.

"Thank you so much, Chen Xi. Thanks to you, I can come back to life! This is simply a miracle!"

"Why are you being so polite to two brothers? Besides, I'll need you to teach me the art of healing later. If you die like this, who will I turn to?"

Chen Xi joked to calm his friend.

"Okay! I'll teach you everything I know!"

Although the witch doctor was also curious about why Chen Xi, who could even come back from the dead, wanted to teach him the mystical art of healing, since his benefactor had asked him to do so, he would definitely do his best!

Raising one hand, the witch doctor intended to release his most powerful mystical magic first.

However, the soft green light did not appear as usual. After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.

"Chen...Chenxi, something seems to be wrong."

"I can't release mystical magic anymore..."

The witch doctor's expression gradually became a little embarrassed. He had been helped so much by the witch doctor, but he couldn't even teach him a small mystical technique. Chen Xi's expression also gradually began to become confused.

The two were silent for a while. After a while, the witch doctor seemed to have suddenly figured something out, and his expression suddenly changed from guilt to ecstasy!

Without saying anything, he hugged Chen Xi again and said excitedly:

"I don't have my occult powers anymore! Does this mean I'm a human now?"

"I'm not an occultist anymore! I'm not an occultist anymore! I'm not an occultist anymore..."

The excited shouting gradually turned into choked sobs.

Finally, this poor man who had been tortured by the identity of a mystic for half his life finally ushered in his own true liberation today.

However, looking at his crazy look, Chen Xi felt an indescribable sadness and grief in his heart.

"Well, congratulations, brother. You can finally live as a human being."

"I'm sorry, Chenxi. I can't teach you the mystical arts that I promised you, even though I received such a great favor from you."

"What's there to be sorry about? Rather, I should be the one saying sorry."

"The villagers will definitely accept your identity as a mystic. But because of my resurrection, you have lost the foundation for your existence in the village."

"What's the big deal? I can still make medicine. I really don't know how to thank you now!"

"It's okay, it's okay. You can drag away these Kabangkru corpses as well. You'll need them for making medicine in the future."

"How can this be! I have already received such a great favor from you, how can I accept this?"

"Then let's do this."

Chen Xi walked towards the body of the King of Kabangkru, swung his knife and cut off a piece of nail and put it in his pocket.

"Take this as a souvenir from me."

Perhaps because he had died so recently, the King of Kabangkru's muscles trembled slightly when his nails were cut, but no one noticed.

"Is this really all that's going to work?"

"Well, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself from now on."

"By the way, please say hello to Lao Deng at the village entrance and tell him I'm leaving."

After explaining all this, Chen Xi left without looking back.

Chen Xi doesn't dislike anyone, but the witch doctor's experience and his behavior still make him feel infinitely sad.

When will occultists be truly saved from discrimination and prejudice, and will humans and occultists truly be able to live together?

Chen Xi, immersed in his own world, did not notice the deep bow made by the person behind him.

Soon, the forest returned to peace. If nothing unexpected happened, most of the demon corpses would rot and decompose into the soil.

But... the figure who is good at hiding in the shadows now appears.

She walked into the sunlight little by little in a deep purple dress. She reached out and stroked Kabangkru's lush fur, as affectionately as if she were stroking her most beloved pet.

"Do you want to stand up?"

"Do you want revenge?"

"My child~"

Arcana had a signature smile on his lips, and his hand gently brushed over every scar left by Chen Xi. His face looked sickly, as if he wanted to hold Chen Xi in his palm forever.

With every touch, the giant "corpse" couldn't help but tremble. Until the last stroke, when his nails scratched off some of the clotted blood on his face, a broken roar squeezed out of his throat awkwardly, like unwillingness, but also anger.

"Very well, my child."

The smile on Arcana's face widened.

The black mask condensed in Arcana's hand, but it was covered with a blood-red light.

"Put it on and stand up."

"what--!"
