Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

The tour ended in front of a decent bungalow. The woman who led the way stood weakly on the side, pinching the corner of her clothes nervously, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

"Here, the promised bread."

"Thank...thank you, Master Chenxi!"

Holding the bread, she bowed deeply, a smile of joy appeared on her face. The woman turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, Chen Xi called her again.

"Wait, be careful on the way back, don't let the food you risked your life to get be snatched away before you can even taste it."

It was clearly a kind reminder, but the woman's hands holding the bread kept tightening, and she didn't let go even when the pieces of bread gradually lost their original shape.

After a long time, the woman suddenly held the bread in her arms and ran towards where she came from.

"Oh my, it seems my good intentions were misunderstood~"

Chen Xi looked at the direction the woman ran away with a smile, then suddenly put on an innocent expression and faced Anya.

"Now, do I look like some kind of demon?"

"Of course not. Chen Xi is my hero, my knight, and the person I trust and love the most in this world."

Anya, who didn't understand Chen Xi's meaning, answered his questions sincerely, but fortunately, this was just a one-man show belonging to Chen Xi.

"Phew~ That puts my mind at ease. After all, someone like me could very well turn into a vicious demon king or devil at any moment."

With some sincerity in his words, Chen Xi uttered them as a joke, but quietly ordered:

"Youmeng, protect her."

Although they had only spent a short time together, Chen Xi could still tell that the woman was one of the few in this town who had not lost her mind.

During the casual chats along the way, he also learned a lot about this place.

For example, why did this town become like this, what is around this town, and the person in charge of this town - Lovis.

"Yes, my master."

The chaotic figure flashed by and appeared behind Chen Xi before disappearing. Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief. However, just when he was halfway through exhaling, he was stopped in his tracks by a sudden touch from behind.

"If you become a demon king, I will be your fangs and claws; if you become a devil, I will be your horns and bat wings. No matter what you choose to do in the future, I will always be by your side."

Sincerity is always a killer skill. No matter in the past or now, Anya seems to have a kind of magic that can soothe her inner restlessness.

He also turned around and hugged her tightly. Chen Xi gently bit Anya's ear, which was unique and had a cool temperature.

"Thank you Anya, I've calmed down."

"Ah."

Holding hands again, the two walked into the house in front of them.

……

"Sorry to bother you, I came in first because I was in a hurry. I hope I didn't cause any trouble to you!"

A burst of energetic words, completely different from the originally dull atmosphere in the room, burst into the conversation between the three people.

"Oh, right, there seemed to be a group of uncles who looked like guards outside the door. They were really fierce. They scared me a little, so I knocked them all out. Shouldn't that be a problem?"

"Phew~ I'm relieved now. I thought I had committed some serious crime and was going to be thrown into jail."

"Don't be fooled by my healthy appearance. I might get sick and die on the first day in a prison cell."

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

When mentioning death, Anya's grip on him suddenly increased a lot, and Chen Xi realized that the joke had gone a bit too far.

Holding her hand tightly to reassure her, Chen Xi then spoke:

"By the way, I forgot to ask since I came in so long. Uncle, who are you? Do you know where Grandma Lovis is?"

Just as Oris was wondering who this kid was who had been talking to himself since he entered the door, Giles could no longer bear it and slammed the table.

"Where did you come from, little brat? Get out of my sight while I'm in a good mood today. Otherwise, I'll stuff your face, with that adorable grin on it, into my little brother's anus."

He said this threateningly, pinching his finger joints, which made a teeth-grinding crackling sound. But...

The weak body of the long-term malnourished chicken was really unsightly to Chen Xi, but he still cooperated and cried out:

"Oh, I'm so scared."

"If you're scared, get out of here before I change my mind."

"Yes Yes."

Chen Xi was about to leave holding Anya's hand when he was suddenly stopped. He turned around and saw that Giles's eyes were glancing obscenely at Anya and said:

"You can go, but this woman, stay."

"What kind of stuff is this? I haven't seen such smooth stuff in a long time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated, and a terrifying murderous intent instantly burst out from Chen Xi. The other two people in the room changed their expressions slightly, but Gales was still boasting about his obscene remarks without realizing it.

"Okay, my lord, I will give her to you now."

A cold light flashed, and Oris, sensing something was wrong, immediately dodged and stood in front of Gales. He used extremely fast hand speed to hold down the dagger that Chen Xi was about to pull out, then put his hands behind his back and bowed without leaving any trace.

"I'm sorry, sir. My companion was rather imprudent. I am willing to do my best to compensate him for the offense he caused this lady."

"Why did you suddenly rush out? Get out of my way!"

Giles, who was protected behind him, had no idea what was good for him and raised his fist to hit Oris on the back.

He stepped back slightly and kicked out lightly to disrupt Giles's balance. With one hand, he grabbed the back of his neck as he gradually fell down, and with the other hand, he pulled out a silver blade and placed it on his neck.

If he loosened his grip even slightly, Giles would die under the weight of his own body.

"Don't think that just because you and I have had a few private conversations, we are friends, Gales. If anything goes wrong with the expedition, the Viscount will definitely not let us off easily."

In just a moment, Giles felt that the world in his eyes was spinning. When he could see clearly again, all he saw was his own terrified expression printed on the silver sword, which was dyed red bit by bit by the dripping blood.

Putting away his sword, Oris casually threw away the dead dog-like Gail's and bowed to Chen Xi again.

"Once again, I apologize, sir, no offense was intended."

Without accepting his gift, Chen Xi still slashed out with a wind blade, landing between Gales' legs.

"This gentleman!"

"It's just the loss of that leg. It shouldn't affect your daily life."

After Oris took a careful look and found that it was indeed the case, he didn't say anything more.

"You should be thankful that I encountered some good things on the way here. Otherwise, when he looked at Anya with that look, you two would have been dead!"

Oris lowered his head silently, believing that what the young man in front of him said was not nonsense.

He was very clear about the strength of the knights he brought with him, so the fact that the child in front of him was able to knock them all out and bring them in here without any harm was enough to show his own strength.

Regardless of what Oris was thinking, Chen Xi walked straight past him and came to Gailes, who was curled up on the ground and struggling in pain.

With a ding, a dagger was nailed to the ground beside his ear, and words as cold as the dagger came out of Chen Xi's mouth:

"Apologize!"

"Heh, uh uh uh ah."

Only now did Giles look up and take a good look at the boy in front of him.

White hair, a black highlight on the forehead, and blue eyes.

"You, you, you are the damned occultist who killed my brother!"

"Ok?"

There was a flash of silver light, and Gail's ear fell gently to the ground.

"what!!!!!!!"

"Think before you speak. Otherwise..."

Chen Xi suddenly pinched Gales' cheek and put his face in front of him.

"I don't mind removing a few more extra parts for you~"

Throwing the bloody head on the ground, Chen Xi took out a handkerchief to wipe his fingers, threw it on Giles' head, and slowly stood up waiting for what was to come.

Giles's frail body and intense pain had already caused him to fall to the ground and twist into a maggot, but he still forced himself to slowly kneel up, then bent over:

"Yes...I'm sorry!"

The words squeezed out from behind his back teeth floated into Chen Xi's ears, but he just scratched his ears with a little disgust, as if what he just heard had polluted his ears.

"anything else?"

Chen Xi blew on his little finger which had just cleaned his ear and then asked.

Heavy breaths slowly seeped out of his mouth, and with every step he took, more blood flowed from his crotch.

Then, when he finally faced Anya, he lowered his head again.

"Yes...I'm sorry!"

"This is right!"

He suddenly squatted down and slapped Giles in the face, almost knocking him over.

"Isn't this quite reasonable? Now that the matter has been resolved, we are all friends. My name is Chen Xi, what's yours?"

"Gales..."

As if he didn't notice the look in Giles' eyes that seemed to want to kill him, Chen Xi continued:

"Gales, what a nice name. Well, now that I know your name, you and the uncle over there can go away. I'm not here to see you today."

Without removing the hand that was patting Giles's shoulder, Chen Xi pinched it hard and put his face close to the ear that had not been cut off.

"You must live well. You can't just die. After all, only by living can you suffer and atone for your sins!"

An emerald green light began to shine from his shoulders and gradually spread throughout his body. In this light, Giles seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

Finally, with the help of Oris, the two walked out of the hut.

Taking out a handkerchief and wiping his hands again, Chen Xi slowly turned his head and looked at Lovis, who had been silent from the beginning.

"Now, it's time for us to have a good talk, Ms. Lowes."
