Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

After consciousness once again dissipated in the darkness, the first thing the body felt was the soft touch on the back of the neck.

The cool breath soothed every restless nerve in the brain without making people feel any chill.

A hand gently stroked Chen Xi's forehead, suppressing his frown again and again.

But no matter how many times she caressed him, she couldn't take away the painful expression on Chen Xi's face. Until the person on her lap showed obvious signs of struggle, the Snow Girl smiled slightly, casually produced a piece of ice crystal and stuffed it into Chen Xi's neck, leaning over and whispering in his ear:

"Aren't you going to get up yet, you little nightmare-inducing fool?"

"Hmm~!"

Chen Xi slowly woke up and sat up from the ground.

He touched the neck that was still warm, and the gentle coolness had not yet dissipated, reminding him of the identity of the person behind him.

"Miss Mojo?"

The previous dream-like conversation was still lingering in Chen Xi's mind, making him unable to tell whether it was reality or fantasy.

"Hmm~ You're the only one here who calls me that."

"!"

The girl's clear voice came from behind, flowed into Chen Xi's ears, and gathered his scattered consciousness.

Picking up the ice crystals beside him, Chen Xi smiled and slowly turned back until the coolness completely calmed his frantic heartbeat.

"Thank you, Miss Mojo."

As he handed over the ice crystal in his hand, Chen Xi's smile froze on his face.

Snapping her fingers, she dispersed the items in Chen Xi's hands. The Snow Girl came up to him and waved her hand in front of him:

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you surprised by my cuteness?"

Unlike the other party's eagerness, Chen Xi's hand flashed with silver light, and the sword dance that was ready to be launched was pressed against the snow girl's throat:

"who are you?"

A cold and vicious gaze fell into the Snow Girl's eyes, and tears welled up unconsciously.

"Chen Xi, didn't you resurrect me? Didn't you save me?"

The crying voice and the aggrieved question almost blurted out, and the violent ups and downs of the chest even moved the body, making the white neck stained with a glaring blood color.

"You... Miss Mojin...?"

"But, you look...how...Verdin?"

"Uh!"

The knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. Chen Xi hugged his head in pain, and some fragments of memories that did not seem to be his own kept flashing back in his mind.

Bandages, syringes... clean glass walls, and... a pool of blood formed by the bodies of countless companions...

And... and that, the only pure white, silver-haired girl... uh!

"Xu Hai! What's going on?! Whose memory is this!?"

Chen Xi grabbed his hair frantically, tearing and scratching it. He wanted to dig out his entire brain and completely erase the blood from his mind.

"Oh my, just a tiny fragment of memory has made you look so miserable~"

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Xu Hai ignored Chen Xi's struggle with bloodshot eyes, and smiled as he put his arms around the other's neck.

"I'm bearing everything about the past. Do you want to see it?"

"Give...Give me!"

"Haha~"

"You're not qualified yet!"

Putting aside the playful smile that had always been on his face, Xu Hai's expression suddenly became serious.

"Have a good sleep. When you wake up, you will forget everything..."

The virtual right hand reached into Chen Xi's mind and grabbed a scarlet fragment.

"Fortunately, the problem occurred at this time. If it were any other time, it would be difficult to handle."

Ignoring Chen Xi who fainted again and looked funny, Xu Hai stared at the chip in his hand with a tense expression, which was flashing with anxiety.

"How on earth did this memory reappear in his mind?"

Through Chen Xi's eyes, he observed the snow girl in front of him again.

"Is it really because of that little girl?"

He nonchalantly threw the fragments in his hand into his mouth, chewed them up and swallowed them.

"You really can't forget it. Is that white-haired figure such a salvation for you?"

That playful smile appeared on Xu Hai's face again.

"I'm really curious about your wonderful expression after learning the truth~"

……

"Chenxi! Chenxi!"

The Snow Girl's anxious call echoed repeatedly in the empty hall, again and again passing over the dry sarcophagus, passing over the withered skulls, passing over the ears of everyone outside.

"Yuki-onna!"

The clan leader rushed into the hall first, and when he looked up, he saw the tearful Snow Girl and Chen Xi who was still unconscious in her arms.

As if grasping at a lifeline, the Snow Woman called out anxiously:

"Grandma, Chenxi... Chenxi's breathing is getting weaker and weaker...!"

Before the patriarch could fully digest the snow girl's words, another urgent report came from behind him:

"Chief, Chief! Forest, forest! Reset!"

Although this is not a rare thing in normal times and happens every once in a while, it is best to remind the tribe members not to run to the outskirts of the forest.

But the young man in the Snow Girl's arms...

The tentacles of inspiration reached out again, probing Chen Xi's nerves.

Then she saw the dirty blood begin to stain her soul!

The patriarch gasped for breath as he hurriedly cut off the connecting tentacles.

This kind of hurt that touches the soul will not be pleasant for anyone.

but……

Not far away, the Snow Girl holding Chen Xi was still looking at him pleadingly.

Forcing himself to calm his breathing, the clan leader slowly walked forward, grabbed Chen Xi's wrist and planned to check it out.

However, at this moment, the ink color gradually seeped into Chen Xi's hair along the lines of the hair.

"Old woman~what do you want to do with this body?"

He grabbed the chieftain's arm with his backhand, intending to crush it directly, but his body was unable to exert its full strength.

"Tsk!"

Throwing him down angrily, Xu Hai turned around and looked at the girl who had been hugging Chen Xi tightly.

"Hmm~ It's still a little off the flavor~"

The pressure from Xu Hai made everyone present dare not move even a little.

He clumsily tied a bun on the side of the snow girl's head, and casually took out a black top hat from the card and put it on her head.

"That's much more like it, huh."

"My time is almost up. Please bear with me during the rest of the journey."

He put away his hat, took off his hair, and casually ruffled her hair. Xu Hai's tone was rarely gentle and doting.

As the body fell into the arms of the Snow Girl again, the hall suddenly became eerily silent.

Not long after...

"What's wrong with me?"

The creator of silence was the first to break the silence.

Chen Xi looked at the solemn clan leader in front of him with a confused look on his face, touched his head unconfidently, and hesitated whether to ask what had happened.

But apparently, his worries seemed unnecessary.

As if he had made up his mind, the clan leader helped Chen Xi, who was still slumped on the ground, up and solemnly requested:

"Human, or rather... Chenxi."

"Xueji, the last priestess of the Lusarji clan...please let her follow you to the outside world."

Opening her eyes of inspiration, the clan leader could clearly see the intertwined souls of the Snow Girl and Chen Xi behind them. Although it could only be described as an unrealistic premonition, she truly sensed that the Snow Girl's future destiny should not belong to this small forest.

"Is this really good?"

Chen Xi, who had part of his memory taken away, now has clear and stupid eyes, and is completely confused and unable to understand the current situation.

"Yes, and please treat her well."

……

At the edge of the forest, everyone persuaded by the patriarch came here and offered their blessings.

"Xue Ji."

Another call.

"Sister Hanagi...?"

A tall figure wearing a rose on his head stood out from the crowd of people seeing him off and finally gave the Snow Girl a hug.

"Here you go, the amulet we made."

A thorn-like wooden vine is wrapped around a gem containing starlight. There are obvious carving marks on it. Although it is a little rough, you can still feel the maker's intentions. You don't have to guess who made it.

"Hanamu, Xingying, Jianke, Sister Sharp Claw... Thank you."

Now, it's time to start a new journey.
