Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

"Sister Stanlu, could it be that?"

The two of them didn't know how long they walked in the water, and finally they saw a door that seemed to be glowing at the end of the darkness.

"Maybe. Let's be careful. That thing gives me a bad feeling..."

The two stood in front of the stone door, admiring the exquisite murals painted on it.

In the mural, a human body is lying on a huge altar, and all the people around are kneeling before the altar and worshiping it.

Chen Xi caressed every bump and dent on it. Obviously, such things would corrode at a very fast speed underwater. But everything here was as clear as if it had just been painted.

It's like there's something protecting all of this from the erosion of time...

"Let's try to see if we can get in first."

Fearing that there might be some danger, Si Tanlu took the lead in putting his hand into the place that looked like a secret door, trying to push open the stone door.

"what happened?"

As if in rejection, the stone door did not move at all.

"As expected, it still doesn't work?"

"Sister Stanlu, let me try!"

For some reason, Chen Xi always felt that he could open this door.

His intuition was always accurate, but feeling a familiar sensation in a place like this wasn't good news...

Putting his hand into the secret door, Chen Xi did not rush to look for a switch or the like, but slowly activated his mystical technique to release the purest and most essential energy.

Suddenly, golden light began to spread to the entire door with the secret door as the center!

The entire stone slab shone brightly as if it was coated with a layer of gold, illuminating the entire mural and making them seem to come alive!

And the picture was indeed moving frame by frame, so Chen Xi and the others saw how a brilliant and glorious empire was built.

Dialogues between ancient Egyptian pharaohs and gods, secrets and rituals of immortality.

Everything is happening in this small world.

But soon, the golden light dissipated and everything returned to its original state.

"Chenxi! Are you okay?"

Such a big scene made even Si Tanlu, who was already a reliable adult, panic and anxiously asked Chen Xi beside him.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Sister Stanlo."

Chen Xi was still in a daze looking at his right hand which he had just pulled out from the secret door.

"We should report this to the Foundation immediately! This is an emergency!"

"We can't act so recklessly anymore. No one knows what will happen next. We can't joke with our lives!"

"Okay, Sister Stanlo."

Suddenly seeing such an incredible scene, Chen Xi couldn't help but want to back down.

It is better to leave professional matters to professionals. I am just a weak and helpless ordinary mystic. Arcana will definitely not say anything if I go back like this. After all, she definitely doesn't want me to die like this.

Chen Xi, who had successfully convinced himself, grabbed Si Tanlu's outstretched hand and was about to turn around and leave.

But this mysterious underground palace seemed reluctant to leave them. The stone door suddenly opened, revealing an empty tunnel behind it.

The water behind Chen Xi and the others suddenly pushed them in like crazy. Only when their figures completely disappeared under the water did the stone door close as if satisfied.

"Ahem, Chenxi, are you okay?"

The sudden change scared Chen Xi, and in his panic he couldn't even maintain his mystical skills.

The two of them followed the current forward, and it was unknown how long it took before they were finally ejected by the turbulent whirlpool.

As soon as he took his first breath of air, Si Tanlu began to look for Chen Xi's figure in his sight.

"Ahem, I...I'm fine, Sister Stanlu."

I don’t know if this maze has a special liking for Chen Xi. As the water flowed in, he felt like the clothes in a washing machine, constantly in close contact with the wall.

So much so that after being hit and stopped at the corner for the last time, his body was already covered with bruises.

"Chen Xi!"

Seeing Chen Xi lying in the corner with distorted features, Si Tanlu completely forgot about his own injuries and rushed to him.

"Are you ok?"

"It's okay, I'm not going to die yet, hahahaha."

Chen Xi's cheerful laughter echoed in the basement, but it did not wipe away the tears that gradually seeped from the corners of Si Tanlu's eyes.

"Blame me……"

Before Si Tanlu could finish her sentence, Chen Xi reached out and interrupted her.

"In the final analysis, it's just my willfulness, and..."

A soft green light lit up from Chen Xi's hand, gradually spreading out, healed every wound on his body.

"I'm fine, right?"

Chen Xi stood up with a smile.

"It's Sister Stanlu."

Another green light was cast.

"Since I was seriously injured, I should be the one to apologize."

He extended a hand and gentlemanly helped Si Tanlu, who was still kneeling on the ground, up.

"How do you feel now, Sister Stanlo?"

Chen Xi looked at Si Tanlu, who had recovered as before, with confidence, his face full of a look of begging for praise.

"Thank you. I feel much better now."

Si Tanlu felt his body in an incredible way, feeling more comfortable and relaxed than ever before.

A gentle and considerate personality, excellent and comprehensive mystical skills, and an angelic smile.

The image of the boy in front of her became more and more perfect in Stanlu's mind. If it weren't for the huge age gap between them, she might really not be able to control herself and take action.

"I told you I was awesome, but Sister Stanlu didn't believe me."

"Okay, okay~ Our Chenxi is the best, so you must continue to protect your sister from now on."

"must!"

Although such conversation may be a bit childish, who is not a baby deep down?

At least at this moment, at least at this moment, let Chen Xi continue to be willful as a child for a while.

"What do we do now?"

In response to Chen Xi's question, Si Tanlu frowned and stroked the surrounding walls.

Torches were lit up on both sides of the cave without anyone noticing. One side was bright all the way to the depths, while the other side was pitch black, marking where they came from.

"Keep going. I've already notified the Foundation using the emergency communication device."

"But it may be a long time until they find a way to get here."

"So, let's keep exploring until we get rescued. Maybe we can stumble upon a way back."

"Great!"

Chen Xi waved his little fists excitedly, and Si Tanlu would never say that he planned to explore the maze because he wanted to continue adventures with Chen Xi and accumulate more memories.

The two of them set out on the journey to the depths of the maze...
