Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

Chapter 80 A Town Filled with the Smell of Death

In a dark corner of the slums, a dagger stained with old blood was pulled out with a "puff".

As if carrying the resentment of the deceased, blood splattered all over the murderer's face. However, when the crimson stained his eyes, it did not stop him from moving, but instead made him even more crazy.

The warm blood gave off an alluring smell in the wind. He put the tip of the knife dripping with blood into his mouth, but before the sweet and fishy taste could spread in his mouth, he swallowed and stood aside, leaving the corpse in front of him to the larger shadow behind him.

"Boss."

"bloodletting."

Without further words, he skillfully slit the throat and poured out as much of the crimson liquid as possible while it was still warm, preserving it with his calm movements as if he were only dealing with some large animal.

"Bring back."

A long drag mark extended behind the two men, and the bloodstains stopped with each step, but at a certain place it unexpectedly spread out, like a mark, stopping at a certain place - that was one of the few families with children in the slums, and the child was named Lovell.

The wind and sand quickly covered up the traces of the two people passing by.

As the sun sets in the west, a figure rushes out from the forest, holding a hare in its mouth and running towards the human town in the distance with all its limbs like a rocket.

The moss in the stream brushed against her palms, causing her to fall flat on her face into the water with the rabbit in her mouth.

"Huh!"

Breaking through the distorted scene at the interface between the stream and the air, she stood up suddenly, sniffed her front paws, frowned, stuck out her tongue, and rubbed them vigorously in the water.

Until the grass leaves, mud, bloodstains... between her fingers all melted into the cool stream water, she raised her paws above her head, stared at them with bright eyes, then brought them in front of her and licked the water droplets off them.

With two slaps on his wet clothes, Lovell picked up the rabbit on the ground and ran towards his home in the human way.

"grandmother!"

A sharp, loud, and childish voice like that of a little wolf rang out in the slums. She wrapped the rabbit in her clothes and stood in front of the door.

"Xiao Luo is back."

The person who opened the door was a kind old lady. She touched Lovell's head lovingly, causing her to raise her head with a comfortable hum.

Then, a pair of bunny ears popped out from her clothes on her chest.

"Xiao Luo..."

Grandma's unfriendly voice came from above her head, and she stuck out her tongue and threw herself into her grandma's arms without caring about anything.

The moment the little granddaughter rushed over with a smile, her grandmother had already forgiven her, even though they were not blood relatives.

Six years ago, after a knock on the door, when the door was opened, there was only this baby in the basket.

She was just a doctor working in the slums, and could only make ends meet. She really didn't have the extra energy to raise a baby.

But when he picked up the basket and was about to send it to a distant place, the little guy in the basket suddenly sucked his finger.

The baby's tender gums gently rubbed her calloused fingertips, and saliva flowed down her fingers into the palm of her hand. An inexplicable throbbing suddenly trembled in her heart, causing her steps to unconsciously turn in the direction they came from.

Maybe this is what is called fate. I have to admit that the decision to adopt Lovell was the right one.

From then on, for some reason, the family's situation gradually began to improve. Grandma's medical skills cured a person's illness in the town, which enabled them to get the only house in the slum that was not made of thatch, sticks and mud, and they no longer had to huddle in the corner of the room every rainy night.

What’s even more amazing is that small animals started to appear in Lovell’s home when he was three years old.

From a three-year-old mouse to a six-year-old rabbit.

Thanks to this, Lovell's cheeks are rosier than other children in the slums, but she also has more scars from wild beasts on her body than other children.

In the slums, food like this is very rare and precious, so Grandma told Lovell to remember to hide it every time he brought food back.

When all the doors and windows were closed, in the darkness, grandma would pull Lovell to her side, check her injuries, and then:

“Printempo venas el mortintaj arboj”

The emerald green light would briefly fill the entire room, illuminating the simple bed, the worn tables and chairs, and Lovell, who had returned to normal with little stars in his eyes.

Grandma is a mystic.

She was obviously old, and using the mystical arts would be a great burden on her. However, seeing that Lovell was fine, her grandmother felt that everything was worth it.

I am already old and cannot stop Lovell from going on adventures in the forest, but at least I can simply overdraw my limited life and watch Lovell grow up.

Strangely enough, ever since Lovell came to his side, his mystic blood began to stir, and his level of mysticism also improved.

So, relying on this, maybe I can really watch her grow up a little bit more.

I don’t know if it’s because of the overflowing emotions in my heart, but why does grandma feel as if her chest is gradually getting wet...

"Lovell!"

This little rascal actually wiped all the water off his body and threw the wet rabbit into his arms!

But no matter how angry she was, the tenderness in her grandmother's eyes suddenly emerged as she looked at Lovell's back as she ran away with a smile - this time, you are not hurt, my little Luo, my granddaughter.

The overcooked human leg stretched out from the pot, and the slum gang boss just grabbed it with his hands and tore off a large piece of white meat and put it into his mouth.

Some of the younger brothers behind him gnawed on the bones left by the boss until there was nothing left to eat on the surface, then they broke the bones and took out the marrow.

This was already the 13th person they had eaten, but their appetites had grown and they were no longer satisfied with just the elderly people here.

They set their sights on the only stone house here.

Inside that turtle shell, there is a delicate and delicious baby, and not only food but also a house is given. How can such a good thing come true!

"Boss, when will we do it?"

But the person being questioned did not speak. The gang leader who was sitting by the pot kicked over the boiling broth.

The still bubbling broth was suddenly poured over the talkative person. The painful wail echoed in the room, but no one paid attention.

"We have food for tomorrow."

After saying this, he walked out of the room on his own.

……

"Chenxi, this place makes me feel... so uncomfortable."

Anya grabbed Chen Xi's clothes and walked with him in this lifeless town.

The deadness here is not just the numb look of the people here, but more of a strange smell of death that permeates the air.

After taking the lead glass, Chen Xi and Anya started their journey again, without any purpose or plan. Not afraid of the heavy rain, the two of them just wanted to enjoy the world before the real main storyline came.

But for some reason, they came here.

After staying for less than half a day, Anya had the idea of ​​leaving, but Chen Xi always said there was no rush and stayed day after day.

Chen Xi likes the smell here, the smell of cruelty and blood.

He often sat by the window, listening to the screams coming from the town from time to time, with an evil smile on his face.

His originally snow-white hair, starting from the crown, spread out a circle of light black...
