Chapter 16: Guidelines
As Shen Yi watched the other party leaving the cafe, he breathed a sigh of relief, checked the time on his phone.
He almost could not control himself. A cool air current was flowing through him.
“It’s 7:30, this time the awakening of the corresponding power is delayed a lot, after being summoned.”
“How to control this new power? Is it the same as flames?”
With that, he stretched out his hand tentatively, trying to control the airflow like a flame. But there was no reaction.
“Can it not flow out?”
Then he tried to let this airflow through his body and found that his body had become fogged up and was turning into an ethereal cloud that had no substance and could even pass through the gaps in the wood.
However, it lasted only ten seconds.
“Woah! It’s quite useful, far more useful than the flames, at least to escape.”
Yet it wasn’t directly lethal, which left him somewhat helpless.
Just as he changed back to human form, the guest who had just walked out of the door actually returned.
Startling Shen Yi to the core, and he became more and more convinced this guest was different, probably he was extraordinary like Byron.
He still had that calm and collected face as he looked up at the other party and asked with smile: “Welcome, why are you back? Forgot something?”
Although Shen Yi was flustered, he had good emotional management skills.
On the one hand, maintaining a calm and smiling demeanor was a basic skill in the service industry, especially in the coffee shop. On the other hand, he encountered a lot of surprising things recently. No, it should be too many.
The surprise was like… Surprise, surprise, and eventually, he got used to it.
While George calmly stared into the young man’s eyes, in front of him, he still had that calm face, like everything was under his control.
“Forgot something?”
~Indeed, I forgot the truth and misread your true identity.
George swallowed his saliva, unprepared that the other party could deceive him despite his long experience, he almost thought the other party was ordinary.
After returning back, he realized how ridiculous his thoughts were. There was a strong evil aura swaggering around the entire cafe, and his will was like a small boat in a turbulent sea.
He felt uncontrollable dizziness, almost lost his footing, and felt a sharp tingling in his head.
George had no idea what to do, but he knew that the best thing to do was to appease his opponent rather than investigate and fight right away.
In fact, not all the Extraterrestrial gods were enemies, and the investigator was not a warrior who punished evil and promotes good.
He knew too well that they were just hapless souls trying their best to tinker and barely keep the world from being destroyed.
After all, there were too many human civilizations in and out of this bloody garbage world who even had no idea about such existence!
The reckless investigator was doomed to die, but George was not afraid of death. He just didn’t want to let millions of Beland’s people be buried with him.
Shen Yi stared at the other party, who was silent and somewhat dazed, his heart was a bit startled.
Suddenly Shen Yi saw that he was covering his head as if he had an intense headache.
With a smile, he voiced, “How about another cup of coffee?”
With no thoughts, George directly moved his butt and sat down on the chair nearer. Since he might die if he didn’t do so, “Okay, let’s have another latte then.”
Shen Yi nodded politely and was about to brew another cup of latte as soon as possible to get rid of the opponent, but found that the latte’s key ingredient, milk, was not enough.
“Well, the ingredients for the latte don’t seem to be enough. I’ll go back and get it.”
Shen Yi said with a smile, turned around, and went to the backroom to get the stacked ingredients. As soon as he entered the room, his face turned pale.
“That person came back after going out. No matter how I look at it, it’s strange. Could it be that he found out about my situation?”
Confession is lenient, resistance is strict? What will happen if you confess?
He didn’t know about George’s identity, didn’t know his relationship with the Order and Byron, and didn’t know whether he was a good person or a bad person.
“He may be a good person or a bad person. Even if he is a good person, he may not be a good thing to me.”
Perhaps because he was a good man, he was more likely to be disadvantaged.
In short, Shen Yi came to the conclusion not to confess his “Blast Wolf” speech.
Nevertheless, discovering true identities and circumstances posed too much risk.
“I can only find a way to continue to fool. At least I haven’t shown anything extraordinary so far…”
In the cafe.
George was lost in his thoughts.
This man was so flawed in so many ways.
He knew very well that the other party would leave, which could not be because of insufficient coffee ingredients.
Think about it with your little brain. ‘If the other party has no purpose, why did he suddenly exude a strong aura of Extraterrestrial god? and deliberately “called” himself back?’
This was not in accordance with basic logic.
So, what was his purpose?
As he glanced up, he noticed a cell phone on the bar counter at a glance.
Apparently, the phone was not in the bar when he first came into the cafe.
The mysterious cafe owner left his cell phone here during the short period when he left and came back.
It was as if it had left it specifically for him.
“So…is this what you want me to see?”
George tried to remain calm as much as he could, got up, and nervously reached out to touch the phone on the table.
He looked as if he was going to touch the sworn enemy because no one knew what was inside.
There was a possibility for him to fall into endless madness by touching it.
But he felt a strange attraction that induced him to touch it.
Eventually, he did.
A little relieved, he nervously glanced through his phone.
This seems to be just an ordinary mobile phone, not a “relic”. George’s brows frowned slightly and flipped through the photos one by one.
Just like an ordinary person’s mobile phone, the photos inside were very simple, and the only point was there were a lot of pictures of cats.
He raised his brows and mumbled, “Do you like cats that much?”
It could be seen that the owner of the cafe likes to take pictures of cats.
“A phone that looks normal no matter from which angle I look at it. Did I have a misunderstanding?”
Just as he thought of putting the phone down, his eyes suddenly widened and a shiver rolled down his spine. An unusual picture appeared among the many normal photos on the phone.
“What is this photo?”
This photo completely caught George’s attention. It should have been taken somewhere in an ancient castle, a dimly lit underground hall.
But the point was at the corner an edge of a bizarre spell formation could be seen, even if it was only a portion of the array.
His pupils shrank instantly. This was the magic array used to summon the untouchable object!
Everything became clear to him.
“Is this what you want to show me?”
It was the most important clue, the Extraterrestrial god descending finally came to light.
But George was still confused about the intention of the other party. “Is it a trap or a guide? Are you an enemy or a friend?”
Although he really wanted to ask directly, he knew that the other person’s had no intention to reveal his identity and pretended to be an ordinary cafe manager instead.
Putting the phone back gently, George opened his black umbrella and opened the door and once again set off through drizzle.
“I will go and have a look …… What exactly does the message you gave me to represent.”
In the backroom, Shen Yi pondered for a long time, and then he finally found peace and tranquility. With a calm smile, he walked out with the milk, only to find that the other party had left.
“Hey, how come he left?”
