Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

Athens, Greece.

After fully evaluating Anna's value, the Foundation decided, with Stanley's guarantee, to take her to the Foundation's headquarters in Europe.

They were treated the same way as the general public, without being told the truth about the rainstorm and the times. They were then handed over to the first-line defense school to serve as logistics support.

On the other side, within the Hand of Reshaping...

Arcana sat on the edge of the bed, using the black liquid to recreate his clothes. He left the room with the small bottle, ignoring Chen Xi, who was still curled up in bed, doubting his life.

On the way to the research institute, Arcana admired the "artwork" in his hand while recalling the scenes of last night.

Logically speaking, she wouldn't be so impulsive and emotional.

But when she was waiting for Chen Xi in the room with great anticipation, what she saw was this scene——

The wound, deep enough to see the bone, extended from his shoulder straight down to his waist. When he fell, blood continued to flow out, spreading quietly, dyeing everything she saw red.

She just felt as if her heart was stepped on hard twice, and the pain was so severe that she could not bear it.

Arcana immediately connected the separated flesh and blood with black thread and planned to find specialized medical personnel for treatment.

However, after Chen Xi's wounds were sutured, green light began to shine through the cracks in his body, repairing his skin bit by bit.

As she watched Chen Xi's back gradually become smoother, a sense of peace began to slowly spread through Arcana's body. She touched her face with some doubt, tears already streaming down her face without her noticing...

She had to admit that at that moment, she was really scared, afraid that Chen Xi would really die like this.

Waiting for Chen Xi's body to fully recover, Arcana didn't call anyone over. He personally washed him, changed him into clean pajamas, covered him with a blanket, and held his hand until he slowly woke up...

Arcana quickly stopped herself from thinking any further. She was afraid of recalling the scene of Chen Xi falling in front of her again. She was afraid that the heartache would make her uncontrollably turn back to look for Chen Xi again.

"We've had enough time for tenderness, now it's time to get down to business..."

Holding the bottle tightly in his hand, Arcana walked quickly towards the research institute.

……

Only after confirming that Arcana had really gone far away did Chen Xi dare to quietly poke his head out from under the quilt.

"What happened last night?"

Chen Xi felt incredible as he touched his naked body, his fingers trembling noticeably as they brushed over certain parts of his skin.

"I just remember the lights went out, and then she came..."

"Suddenly, a soft object appeared from under the quilt and pressed on me..."

“And then… ah…!”

As if recalling something extremely painful, Chen Xi held his head and wailed, as if denying that the person who had made love with him last night was not him.

"Sword Dance!"

"Don't call me uncle. I didn't see anything last night when the lights were turned off."

"Anma!"

"Master... Master, Miss Arcana seems to have cast a mysterious spell to block her perception last night. I... don't know anything."

"Do not--!"

(Has that already happened between Master and Miss Arcana? Do I have to call Arcana Master from now on? But Master seems to be resisting. Why?)

A small question echoed in Anma's mind, but now was obviously not a good time to get an answer.

"Ah! Never mind!"

Chen Xi pulled back the quilt and began searching on the bed.

Then he suddenly pulled off the entire blanket, slowly cut off a piece of red cloth with the knife dance, and threw the remaining part and the knife dance back.

"Knife Dance, chop them into pieces... the more pieces the better."

"Yes, yes, it really is. I don't know why I'm so shy."

Just as Dao Wu continued to shatter large pieces of white sheets, Chen Xi took out his card.

"It seems like it really succeeded."

The panel that originally only recorded Chen Xi, Dao Wu, and An Ma now had another one added:

【Character Name】Sharp Teeth

【Gender】Male

[Race] Mystic

【Birthday】December 3

[Mystic 1] Shapeshifting (Can transform into almost any cat)

[Mystic Technique 2] Exchange (You can exchange positions with your own Sharptooth)

[Mystic Technique 3] Transmission (Can display certain information about oneself and one's surroundings to beings of higher rank than oneself)

"These are all mysterious techniques I've never heard of. It turns out that mystics are really amazing."

Chen Xi read every word carefully, planning their future uses and how these things would magically manifest in himself.

"However, Sharp Teeth is following Anna now, and I don't know what kind of guy he is."

"That's fine. Since she's my creation, I believe she can protect Anna for me in an emergency."

As if receiving an imperial decree, the sharp tooth far away at the foundation headquarters vibrated slightly.

Feeling this unusual reaction, Anna held up the necklace in front of her chest with some confusion.

"Chen Xi, is that you? Where on earth are you..."

"But the gender column..."

Unlike himself and the creatures he had awakened before, Sharp Teeth was actually the male of animals.

But it shouldn't be a big deal, thinking this, Chen Xi put the card and the piece of red cloth away, and called back Dao Wu who was beside him.

"Are you done? Sword Dance."

"It's done, it's done. Seriously, you just leave all the dirty work to me."

"If you don't treat me better, I'm going to run away from home sooner or later!"

"Okay, okay~ Come here quickly."

After simply finishing the knife dance, Chen Xi used air manipulation to blow all the chopped fibers out of the window.

"OK! After taking care of the trivial matters, now comes the main event!"

Holding Daowu, Chenxi spread out one hand, and slowly, mercury-like liquid seeped out from the body of Daowu except the blade, gradually gathering into a handful of water drops that were much larger than the ones given to Arcana.

"Hehehe, how could I possibly give all this interesting stuff to Arcana? I had Dao Wu paint it all over it back then! I'll just give you some leftovers so you can study them slowly~"

Chen Xi was shouting wantonly in his room. The feeling of finally defeating Arcana once made him very excited.

"But what good are you anyway?"

No matter how much he clamored, it was impossible for Chen Xi, who didn't even have a college degree in his previous life, to understand the use of the "mysterious substance" in front of him.

"So you can help an area survive the rainstorm?"

Just watch it roll in your hands.

"I went through so much trouble to get this, I might as well just cut myself and spray some blood vessels with it."

Chen Xi extended his hand in front of Dao Wu.

"Sword Dance. What do you think?"

"How can I see it? I can see it while flying."

With a speechless look on his face, he knocked on Dao Wu's handle with his other hand.

"I'm asking if you feel any energy or anything in here."

"Just try flying and see, I'll make you so weak you can't even fly!"

After a shudder, Dao Wu continued to express his views:

"Yes, it's quite strong. Much stronger than the previously reshaped core."

"and then?"

"No. What else?"

"I want to ask how it compares to my blood!"

Chen Xi strongly suspected that the knife that hit the statue had also cut Dao Wu's brain, otherwise how could he become so stupid now.

"Well, I don't know. How about you give me some more blood so I can taste it?"

"Are you some kind of blood demon? Why are you acting so abnormal after returning from this mission?"

Before Dao Wu could explain, another soft and sticky loli voice sounded from Chen Xi's pillow:

"Master... Master, Anma also wants..."

Chen Xi stared blankly at the usually well-behaved Anma. Just as he was about to say something, the two of them rushed over recklessly.

"Wait... wait a minute! It's about to burst! Be rational!"

……

When the two finally finished and returned to normal, Chen Xi looked at his empty palms with a constipated look on his face.

"I'm sorry, Master... Anma doesn't know what happened to me just now. I suddenly couldn't control myself."

"fine."

Chen Xi touched Anma gently without being too harsh on her.

Although they are my creations, I still know very little about them, so it is inevitable that various accidents will occur.

As for that drop of so-called "rainstorm immunity agent", just scatter it. There is no use keeping it anyway. It's better to have it gone, so as to avoid any more trouble.

Dao Wu, who had finally returned to normal, was now lying obediently in front of Chen Xi, looking as if he was at Chen Xi's mercy, which made Chen Xi laugh.

He grabbed him and put him together with Anma.

"I don't blame you. You didn't mean it anyway."

"From now on, no matter what happens, I won't blame you."

"after all……"

"We are family."

Feeling Chen Xi's sincere emotions, Anma and Dao Wu stopped talking. The three of them quietly felt the bond between each other in the room.

Just quickly...

"Master, master!"

"what happened?"

"Your card! It glows!"
