Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

"Hey, Chenxi. What are you fiddling with?"

The moment he heard the voice, Chen Xi stood up and stepped aside skillfully, without opening his eyes, and continued to polish the small, shiny thing in his hand.

It was not until he heard the sound of something falling to the ground that he chuckled, opened his eyes, and sat down again.

"How could you do this!"

The girl who was lying on the ground the previous second immediately turned around and wanted to throw herself into Chen Xi's arms.

This time Chen Xi did not dodge or evade. He pinched the end of the object in his hand with two fingers, pulled it upwards to create a circle of thin rope, which was just right to be put around the neck of the girl who rushed over. His hands also slid behind her and held her steadily.

"what is this?"

Feeling a hard touch on her chest that was different from usual, the girl held up the necklace in front of her chest in surprise.

Just as Chen Xi opened his mouth to explain something, several voices interrupted them.

"Hey~ Chenxi and Xia are flirting again."

Standing in the front was a tall boy with a smug smile on his face. As the strongest boy in the team, he often rushed ahead of everyone in battle and was also Chen Xi's best male friend.

Standing behind him were a tall girl named "Wei" who exuded a cool aura and a boy named "Ming" who seemed a little timid.

The five people here are all of Chen Xi’s companions in this experimental field.

"Lululu, it's none of your business."

Once again, Xia got there before Chen Xi. She made a face at Gale, then turned around and stuck to Chen Xi, unwilling to get off.

Smiling somewhat helplessly, Chen Xi stretched out a finger and turned it, and a layer of golden light appeared on Xia's body and he soared into the air.

"Ah! Chen...Chenxi, put me down!"

Although Xia is usually carefree, she is unexpectedly afraid of the feeling of being suspended in the air. According to her, she always feels panicky because she is not standing on solid ground.

"Just reflect on this in mid-air."

Although he said this, there was still a faint smile on Chen Xi's lips.

Ignoring Shia's yelling in the air, he walked over to Gale and handed him a necklace of the same style.

"Here, this is yours."

"This is?"

Gale looked at the gadget in his hand in confusion, facing the light.

"Amulet. Everyone in Experimental Base No. 42 has one."

"Really? Then I'll accept it respectfully."

Then it was Wei and Ming's. When I handed it to Wei, she still had that expressionless look on her face, and didn't even say thank you.

But Chen Xi knew that she was just not good at speaking. Thinking of how she stuttered and took a minute to say the word "hello", Chen Xi found it funny.

She's really cute in a way that's completely different from her appearance.

As for Ming, although he was still avoiding and didn't dare to look Chen Xi in the eye, this child never showed any cowardice during every battle, and even pulled Chen Xi out of the enemy's attack several times.

"Chen Xi!"

"Put me down quickly!"

"Otherwise I will..."

After hearing the threat with a hint of crying behind him, Chen Xi slowly turned around and walked under her.

With a snap, he released the suspension and caught the falling Xia in a princess hug.

"So what, my Miss Shia?"

The tears were still hidden in the corners of Xia's eyes, and Chen Xi's face suddenly came close to her, less than a finger's distance away, so close that they could even feel the airflow of each other's breath.

Xia's heart was still pounding, and her face turned red. She stared at her reflection in Chen Xi's eyes, and suddenly, as if in revenge, or as if she had been looking forward to it for a long time, she kissed Chen Xi's defenseless lips.

After just a light touch, Xia couldn't resist the feeling in her heart and turned her face away.

However, looking at Chen Xi's confused expression, a victorious smile quietly replaced the blush and climbed up her cheeks.

"You……"

Just when Chen Xi was about to say something angrily, a black magic circle suddenly rose from under everyone's feet.

"It's an emergency drill! Everyone get ready!"

The moment Chen Xi opened his mouth, Xia turned over without hesitation and left his arms and stood in front of Chen Xi.

When everyone stood still before the light of the magic circle dissipated, a huge roar also resounded in the arena where the teleportation ended.

Everyone had a determined expression on their face, completely different from the playfulness just now.

Tear off the armband and transform into your own weapon.

The archer Xia, the swordsman Gale, the assassin Wei holding two daggers, and the shield soldier Ming.

“La elementoj obeas miajn ordonojn…”

Teammates rushed forward one by one, chanting spells. Invisible energy fluctuations gathered around Chen Xi as he uttered the spell word by word, gradually forming a terrifying aura that was enough to distort the refraction of light.

"Tsk, it turns out to be the most troublesome spider-type enemy."

"Shia!"

"Roger that!"

Taking a deep breath, Xia pulled the bowstring to its full extent. The red flame began to burn little by little on the trembling arrow tip, and it burned more and more vigorously with Xia's breathing.

Before Xia's arrow was shot, Wei rushed out like an arrow, facing the spider's raised foot head-on, sharpening her aura like a sharp blade!

The double-edged blade scraped across the spider's tough shell, circle after circle, and the poison cleverly seeped into the monster's body.

In just a moment, she completed her attack and put the knife behind her.

After the sound of the sharp blade being sheathed, the spider's leg broke into several pieces and fell to the ground.

A not-so-deep cut appeared on its abdomen, with blood oozing out.

"Roar!!!"

The roar hit the circular barrier of the Colosseum, and one sound wave after another tore at the eardrums of several people, and the tinnitus uncontrollably stimulated everyone's brain.

Seeing the opportunity, the spider raised its two front paws high, intending to stab Chen Xi, who looked the most dangerous in the team.

"Don't even think about it!"

Gale raised the huge sword in his hand and swung it with deep and powerful force, hitting the two black sharp spikes directly.

A huge explosion sounded again throughout the Colosseum at the moment the two collided.

The dust raised by the battle was blown away in an instant, and the flashes of close combat flickered between the two, but Gale's advantage was not only his great strength.

A light blue light gradually lit up on the blade, and was about to reach its peak.

"Break it for me!"

The blast of wind directly knocked over the spider crawling on the ground, revealing its previously injured abdomen.

"Now, Shia!"

"it is good!"

At this time, the flame in front of the arrow had burned like a fireball, and it flew out with a whistling arrow energy.

Feeling the burning sensation getting closer, the spider began to curl up its limbs in fear to try to offset the impact of the attack.

"Don't think about it!"

Ming, holding the shield, suddenly raised it high and smashed it into the spider's abdomen like a meteor.

The hurricane caused by the strong impact not only stopped the limbs from contracting, but also expanded the originally fine wounds even more.

But before he could escape from the spider's belly, the burning arrow arrived first.

As the explosion sounded, flames and black smoke shot up into the sky, blocking everyone's vision.

"Ming!"

"I'm fine!"

A small column of smoke broke away from the main force and spit out Ming, who was still holding up his shield.

"You boy!"

Gail rushed to Ming and raised his arms, scaring him so much that he closed his eyes.

"Why are you always so careless!"

He pinched his sleeve and wiped his face, which was blackened by the smoke.

"Why do you always..."

"Roar--!"

Before they could finish their words of concern and reproach, the spider roared and dispersed the flames surrounding it.

After seeing its appearance, everyone couldn't help swallowing.

All the wounds on its body had healed, and metallic spikes had grown on its back and the joints of its eight legs. It rushed towards the few people like a small mountain.

Gail looked back at Chen Xi, who was frowning, and forced himself to swallow the fear in his heart.

"Everyone hold on! Protect Chen Xi!"

Different lights lit up on each person's weapon, transforming into four streams of light that rushed towards the spider.

And from behind them, a light bullet rushed out at a speed faster than them and hit the spider hard in the face.

"Chen Xi!"

The companions looked back in surprise at Chen Xi, who had opened his eyes and was flying in the air with a staff.

A golden magic circle floated behind him, flashing with different colors of light with his breathing.

The four of them quickly jumped away from the center of the battlefield, leaving the fighting stage to Chen Xi.

Everyone knew deep down that once Chen Xi warmed up his machine, they would no longer be able to interfere in the battle here.

Circles of air waves spread out with Chenxi as the center, turning into wind blades that attacked the dark monster rushing towards them.

"The first step - remove the thorn."

As the words fell, the crisp sound of a sharp blade breaking came from the spider's body, and its majestic appearance just now became extremely funny in an instant.

"The second step——"

The staff tapped the ground, and although the sound was not loud, it touched everyone's heartstrings.

"Fire."

A vortex of flames shot up into the sky, continuously burning everything on the spider's body, even its miserable roar was crushed in the scorching flames.

"The third step—"

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Chen Xi's mouth.

“Pound the meat repeatedly until it is chewy and springy.”

Solid clods of earth suddenly rushed out from the walls on both sides, forming the shape of hands and hitting the spider repeatedly.

Xia and the others could clearly see how the spider's hard shell gradually cracked, piercing into the flesh and gradually blending into the soil...

We won, but there was no cheering as expected, and everyone's face was filled with complex and tangled emotions.

Sensing that the spider's vital signs were gradually disappearing, Chen Xi slowly closed his eyes as if relieved, fell straight down from the air, and completely fainted.

……

In fact, originally, the five of them were fighting against a monster together, but... as the monsters they faced later became stronger and stronger, the other four could only restrain them. Among those present, only Chen Xi could give the monster a fatal blow.

But after every such battle, Chen Xi would be unconscious for a period of time.

Although there is nothing abnormal every time he wakes up, people still can't help but worry.

Especially when he was unconscious, his body was visibly becoming thinner and his face was haggard, which made people feel that he was not alright at all.

"Chen Xi..."

A soft call came from Xia's heart. She rushed over and hugged Chen Xi's body. As the formation was activated again, she and everyone returned to the experimental base.
