Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

The sun hung high in the cloudless blue sky, pouring down its rays mercilessly and baking the desert surface to a scorching temperature.

The sand unconditionally accepted the sun's kindness, emitting rolling heat waves that distorted the air and blurred the vision.

Here, every grain of sand is like a small flame, burning the hope and patience of passers-by.

Chen Xi scanned everything he saw—sand, sand, nothing but sand and more sand…

"Arcana!"

Although it wasn't the first time he was backstabbed while on a mission, Chen Xi still wanted to pin Arcana down and punch her twice!

"It's a rare occasion for me to feel moved, and you actually made me lose so completely."

Chen Xi looked at the map in his hand with a crooked smile:

"Boiled!"

Chen Xi suppressed the urge to make another Arcana stone figurine and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

It’s not worth getting angry over that evil-minded woman!

Unfolding the map, Chen Xi's eyes began to turn back to the essence of college students: clear and stupid...

"Ah! I'm so annoyed!"

Chen Xi threw the map to the ground in frustration and lay down to tear it to pieces.

"Why am I the only one here? I don't know what that evil woman Arnaka is thinking."

Staring at the scorching sun above his head, Chen Xi suddenly realized that he had been here for such a long time but didn't feel hot at all!

Is this a gift from Arcana?

Of course, that is our beautiful Miss Arcana!

How could we not prepare something good for our lovely Chen Xi?

Along with Chen Xi, a crossbody travel bag was also transported. To make him look more like a tourist, a travel hat was thoughtfully placed inside the bag.

Look, why don’t you say thank you to Arcana!

Well, actually, apart from those unnecessary things, there are still some useful things in the package:

The first thing is several transfer floppy disks, which will definitely not be forgotten.

Unless Arcana himself wants to kick Chen Xi out, or...

She wanted to go on a trip with Chen Xi under the pretext of catching...

Then there was some food and water plus a bag of sharp teeth. Although I don’t know how this ordinary-looking small bag could hold so many things.

But since they have prepared it for you, just accept it with gratitude.

Last but not least, the most important thing! This bag even contains a mask of the Hand of Reshaping!

When Chen Xi felt the finger-like touch, he had a bad premonition in his heart. But when the facts appeared directly in front of him, it was still beyond his expectations.

When Chen Xi recognized the black thing in his hand, he was so scared that he lost his grip and the mask fell to the ground.

Perhaps because it has not been activated yet, the mask at this moment does not have any strange black slime flowing out, and it looks like just an ordinary mask with crossed hands.

Chen Xi bravely put it back into the bag and put it at the bottom of the backpack!

"What was Arcana thinking? Why did you stuff something like this into me?"

"Do you want me to bring her another disciple?"

"Having me isn't enough? You still have to go around causing trouble for other young people."

"But even if I bring him back, will she still be interested in such an ordinary disciple?"

Just like before, Chen Xi had no idea what Arcana was thinking.

However, if there were other remodeling researchers present, they would be able to keenly notice the difference in this mask.

There was no trace of Chen Xi's presence on it. This was an ordinary mask produced before he joined Reshape.

But the protagonist of our story is still in the dark and has no idea what might happen next...

"Let me take a closer look."

Spread out the map, and you will see the main location of this Chenxi mission - the Pyramid of Khufu!

Although he has never seen it in person, Chen Xi was brainwashed by various legends and unsolved mysteries in his previous life, so he can be considered a master of the pyramid.

This time I have the opportunity to visit world-famous buildings at public expense. I feel excited just thinking about it!

Following the instructions on the map, Chen Xi began his journey to find the pyramid.

However, although the scenery along the way was indeed authentic desert, Chen Xi always felt that something was not quite right.

It was not until he finally tried to find the location of the pyramid according to the location marked on the map that the inexplicable sense of incongruity was finally confirmed.

"Gone?"

Chen Xi looked at the empty space in front of him in disbelief:

"Where is my pyramid?"

"what?"

Chen Xi looked at the map, then put it down, looked at it front to back, and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't find what the problem was.

"Are you sure you understand this map?"

When there is no one around, Dao Wu will always come out to finish off the opponent with a single blow.

"Of course I understand!"

"Look at this place, this contour line, doesn't it look like the hillside we just climbed over!"

"And this, and this, this pit is obviously the one we just encountered!"

"How could I be wrong!"

Chen Xi held up the map in his hand indignantly, and had already cursed Arcana a thousand times in his heart.

"Then what do we do now?"

Dao Wu continued to float leisurely beside Chen Xi.

Unlike Anma, Anma just wants to stay quietly on Chenxi's waist and feel the body temperature of her master.

Daowu, who is always restless, will float out from the waist as soon as he gets the chance and float beside Chenxi like a mascot.

"how could I know."

Chen Xi folded the map and put it away unhappily.

Looking at the sky that was getting darker and darker, he realized that if he didn't find a place to stay quickly, he would really have to lie in the desert and freeze popsicles tonight!

Finally, with Chen Xi's persistence, the few of them finally walked out of the desert before the sun completely set.

Just looking at the city at the end of the desert, the feeling of doubt in Chen Xi's heart grew stronger and stronger.

"That city...isn't it a bit too modern?"

Looking at the city with lights on, Chen Xi gradually had a bad guess in his mind - could this be Egypt?

Soon, his guess was answered.

"Boss! Stay in the hotel!"

Chen Xi pushed open the door of the hotel and shouted angrily.

Along the way, although the words he saw on the streets were all incomprehensible, Chen Xi was quite sure that he was definitely not in Egypt at this time!

However, Chen Xi soon realized his mistake amidst the reproachful gazes of the people around him.

"Oh, sorry, sorry everyone, the noise disturbed everyone."

His sincere apology prevented him from getting into any unnecessary trouble, which made him secretly relieved.

Walking towards the counter, Chen Xi took out the bag of sharp teeth and threw it on the table:

"Boss, I'd like to stay here for one night. By the way, where is this place?"

Although Chen Xi's loud and noisy personality was very unpleasant when he first came in, the receptionist only gave him a curious look because of his good looks and good attitude.

"I've been running the shop for so long, but this is the first time I've encountered a customer like you."

The front desk clerk took out enough money for one night's stay and returned the purse to Chen Xi.

"Aren't you here for tourism? Why are you asking such a strange question?"

"This is Athens, Greece. Welcome to this city of beauty and wisdom."

The female receptionist looked at Chen Xi with interest and continued to ask:

"If you don't even know where this place is, how did you get here?"

After hearing that this was indeed not Egypt, Chen Xi couldn't help but shiver with anger.

However, this emotion was quickly drowned out by the curious gaze of the receptionist.

"Maybe it was just... whoosh, and then snap... and here I am?"

Chen Xi avoided the other person's hot gaze and spoke hesitantly.

"You are quite interesting, guest."

The girl's laughter soon spread throughout the hall.

However, as if she remembered something, she suddenly covered her mouth in surprise:

"Are you one of those government officials who just arrived in Athens?"

What? What kind of misunderstanding is this?

Before Chen Xi could explain anything, the receptionist continued her speech:

"A group of government officials arrived the past two days. They seem to be going to Egypt by boat..."

A flash of inspiration at just the right moment!

A plot immediately loaded into Chen Xi’s mind: Special episode, Star!

Chen Xi immediately shook the receptionist's hand excitedly and asked:

"Excuse me, do you know what government they belong to?"

"It seems to be called the Saint-Love Foundation? What a strange name."

The girl at the front desk seemed to be uncomfortable with Chen Xi's sudden enthusiasm, and her cheeks were quietly dyed with cherry red.

"Thank you, that was a great help!"

After thanking the front desk, Chen Xi grabbed the key and turned to rush to his room.

Looking at Chen Xi's departing back with some regret:

"Oh, I was thinking of asking that guest when he's free, so we can go out for dinner and improve our relationship."

"but……"

He touched the hands that Chen Xi had just held tightly, and an uncontrollable smile continued to spread across his face.

"Will there still be a chance?"

……

Back in the room, Chen Xi immediately jumped onto the bed excitedly.

Finally! Finally, I met him! The Foundation!

Chen Xi's excitement was not without reason. Ever since he traveled through time, except for the first few days in the shop with Daniel, Chen Xi had lived in fear every day.

Arcana always has a smile on her face, but it is impossible to guess what she is doing.

After all, in the plot, she is so cruel and vicious, although she seems to like herself quite a lot now.

But who can guarantee that she won't change her temper drastically one day and kill herself?

In comparison, although the foundation is not a good thing, at least there is no need to worry about life. Although you may lose some freedom, at least you can truly put your mind at ease, right?

but……

After calming down, Chen Xi quickly realized how ridiculous it was to think that he could escape from the hands of Reshaping.

Let’s not talk about the threat Arcana made before he left.

The rainstorm has just begun, and the foundation in the plot is overwhelmed at the moment.

Chen Xi was afraid that he would surrender to them one second, and the next second the hand of reshaping would strike and destroy the entire foundation...

Traveling through time is already a very unbelievable thing, and Chen Xi doesn't want to cause any irreparable mistakes in the plot of the whole story.

"but……"

Chen Xi lay on the bed, looking at his raised hand.

"Maybe I can change a little bit..."

"It can save a few children from losing their parents' childhood."

Chen Xi couldn't help laughing when he thought of the blue-haired girl who seemed to be lacking in emotions.

"Let's ask the front desk tomorrow when the Foundation's people will leave."

Thinking this way, Chen Xi gradually fell asleep...
