Please Stop Summoning Me!

Su Ling’s face sank while her mouth puckered.

Even though she was tempted to retort, she did not want to upset this mysterious and unknown big shot.

She sullenly said. “College students.”

George was amused and said aside: “Well, freshman year, in fact, it’s similar to high school students, and she’s only seventeen, so it wouldn’t make much difference.”

Su Ling: “…”

Shen Yi smiled and nodded gently. “Seventeen, the best age in human time.”

George sighed and said, “Yes, human time is short and precious, and it is worth cherishing.”

After exchanging pleasantries, he tried to bring the topic on the right track.

“Yesterday, I asked you a favor.”

Shen Yi immediately interrupted him with a smile. “The usual rules, Mr. George, order two cups of coffee first, and we’ll talk about the rest in detail.”

George nodded and did not refuse.

Su Ling covered her tummy with her hand and muttered. “I’m hungry.”

In addition to coffee, the cafe also sold a variety of snacks.

Shen Yi took the two to a side seat and said, “Sit down first, order food, in the recent Beland atmosphere… My business here has not been very good.”

He was talking about a string of bad weather, including stormy rain and fog took a toll on the restaurant industry.

George thought he was alluding to the current situation, so he sat in his seat and nodded.

“Indeed, Beland is in a very bad state now, I wonder what you think of it?”

~It is simply awful, and it may not be long before Beland will be a sacrificial offering to the extraterrestrial god.

George could not confirm the specific position of the mysterious store manager who called himself “Shen Yi”, but felt it was necessary to enlist his help.

Instead of answering, Shen Yi said. “Let’s talk about it later. First, order what you want and I’ll prepare it.”

George replied. “I will have a latte the same as before.”

Su Ling sidled through the menu on the table and scanned around.

“Mousse cake, chicken sandwich, tiramisu, fresh milk cake, freshly-baked egg tart, doughnut, macaroon …… All for two.”

Ah, this…

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, he hadn’t seen anyone eating fully at the cafe, but after pausing for a moment he quickly regained his senses and continued. “What coffee do you like?”

Having only consumed instant coffee, Su Ling looked over the list of beverages once more.

“I don’t know much about ……”

“In that case, let me prepare it for you, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied.”

Shen Yi nodded with a smile, turned around, and headed to the bar to make coffee and food.

Recently, the cafe had been hovering between losing money and preserving money, and today it was finally able to make money.

As soon as he was out of view, George immediately questioned. “Ordering so much, are you not afraid of wasting. Can you finish eating?”

Su Ling explained thoughtfully: “If I can’t finish it I will pack unfinished food.”

George continued: “It’s not about packing, it costs a lot of money to order so much food in a cafe.”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s your treat anyway.”

“….”

A smile appeared on Su Ling’s cold face: “You are an A-level investigator, with an annual salary of more than 99% of the nationals, you are allocated housing, and your immediate family members are free of medical, education, and travel expenses, and there are extra funds for you when you are on a mission. You can receive the operating funds of the gang, and the money that comes here today can always get reimbursed with the mission funds? After all, we are here to find that man.”

Su Ling was naturally referring to the owner of the cafe.

George nodded: “Yes, the pay of investigators is very good. There are very few A-level investigators who can successfully retire, but you are also a B-level investigator. Why do you look like a poor ghost?”

With a sigh Su Ling said. “Because I have to spend money in many places.”

‘As far as I know, your reasons are more psychological’ …… George thought silently but did not say these words out.

He could probably guess why Su Ling was poor, which was why he was willing to suffer and treat guests.

George was addicted to smoking, and it was hard for him to not be able to smoke for so long, but this was a cafe, and in Nolan, smoking was not permitted in a public place unless there was an area for smoking.

He wanted to die.

Taking out a cigarette, he held it in his mouth but didn’t light it and slumped on the couch while closing his eyes.

Su Ling was surprised, it turned out that there were still people who could “pretend to be smoking”.

Coming to the bar, Shen Yi started making pure hand-brewed coffee.

~What are these two doing here? For yesterday’s request? Most likely.

After a while, Shen Yi served Su Ling a cup of coffee with a polite smile.

“This cup is specially hand brewed for the beautiful lady.”

When Su Ling picked up the cup, she felt warmth and a rich fragrance filled in the air.

~The owner of the café is still quite approachable …… Much better than imagined.

However, Su Ling had heard from her father that many extraterrestrial things actually looked friendly on the surface, but turned out to be quite terrifying when they went deeper.

After a while, Shen Yi brought coffee and snacks from the bar.

Su Ling immediately picked up the mousse cake and ate it, while George glanced at her action and turned to look at Shen Yi who was beside him.

“Regarding last night’s mission, I don’t know if you have any clue. It seems as though you know that Beland’s situation is dire right now.”

“We’re running out of time.”

~Belander’s situation was bad, Could it be that something major happened? Shen Yi calmly asked: “Oh, I wonder how much you know?”

George took off the cigarette in his mouth, his face was full of bitterness: “We don’t know much, but we know that there’s an order that’s going to sacrifice Belander to the extraterrestrial gods and asking him to come to this world, it is simply behaviors that only lunatics would do, but also, if they weren’t lunatics, they wouldn’t engage in cults.”

His expression grew serious, and he continued, “If something happens, no one is sure what the god of the world will do…but it will never be good for the people living in this city.”

Even if the extraterrestrial God did not have any slightest malice, but how could ordinary people withstand His own existence, as for the worst outcome, George slowly closed his eyes.

He couldn’t imagine it.

Shen Yi silently listened, whether it was the Order, sacrifice, the God of the world, the descent, these words have struck him greatly.

He always felt that this thing was related to himself again …… If what was going to summoning at the end was really him, how exactly are the people of this Order going to sacrifice the entire city?

If the sacrifice scene is very large, my identity… I am afraid it will be exposed in front of the whole world.

I have to find a way to stop it.~

Was the order he was talking about the Order of Chaos Embers?

Aina said last night that she wanted to hold a new sacrifice, but it was for a completely different reason, but the Chaos Remnant Order didn’t have enough offerings or patterns.

Then, it was likely to be other forces.

He still remembered the message left by Aina, that the Chaos Embers Order was being hunted down by an organization called “Quiet Words”.

He thought about it and said. “The Quiet Word?”

George was slightly shocked, he had not mentioned the Quiet Word …… This man really knows everything.

He nodded and said in a low voice: “It is very likely that it was the Quiet Word, last night they attacked the investigators of the Anti-Magic Bureau, and we suffered heavy losses… Suddenly doing this kind of thing in Beland, even a lunatic should have a purpose, but the Anti-Magic Bureau still doesn’t know what their purpose is.”

“If their purpose is not to sacrifice the city …… We can only put the idea of dealing with the Quiet Word behind us, even if we are not willing to do so.”

Shen Yi nodded, the deaths and injuries were heavy …… Alas, that’s right, those people were cultists, and it’s normal for them to kill people.

In this case, the Quiet Word fought against the Chaos Embers Religion and the Anti-Magic Bureau at the same time, either it was a lunatic or a strong one, or both.

Seeing Shen Yi fall into silence, George thought for a long time and took out a pure black box from his black trench coat and put it on the table.

“Please accept this, you said last night that I owe you a favor, but I think this thing can offset the debt.”

George really didn’t want to owe such a special character a favor, and he wanted to pay something practical to get rid of his “debt”.

Shen Yi didn’t know what George gave him, but he knew that once he accepted it, it was like a promise to the other party – he would definitely find the person in the photo.

However, he didn’t want to betray Aina anyway.

But if he received something and did not do anything, the goodwill between himself and George would directly fall to the freezing point.

Shen Yi said silently. “You keep it for now.”

Rejected.

Putting it back away, George frowned deeply: “I see, you are inconvenient to help in your position, right?”

Shen Yi nodded.

“Um.”

George took a sip of coffee, undaunted by the heat. “In that case, I understand that humans have a human position, and you have your position.”

Shen Yi was slightly taken aback. Ah, actually this guy never sees me as a human?

He was a little bewildered but shook his head, “However, I can assure you of one thing, that the girl in your photo is by no means a bad person.”

“Really?” Not the bad guy? George was dumbfounded.

He then immediately pondered if this was a hint, could it be that the force about to sacrifice an entire city and summon the gods of the world was not the Order of Chaos Remnant, but the Order of the Quiet Word?

“Can you go into more detail?”

Clearly, Shen Yi was intentionally hinting at the other side in order to make George take his eyes off of Aina.

He walked to the bar leaving his back to them and said, “I know that there is a conflict between Chaos Embers and Quiet Word, a very fierce conflict, and I will give you this information for free.”

Hearing this George narrowed his eyes. ~they had a big conflict? This was a common thing, after all, the various orders see each other as heretics.

As for free information, it’s already very good… There were only a few clues the investigators found useful.

He stood up and bowed, “I understand, thank you very much for the information you provided.”

George turned to look at the girl on the side, “Come on, we can go now.”

Su Ling, who was drinking coffee, was dumbfounded by his sudden injunction, looking at the food that she hadn’t even touched in for a while and said, “Pack it up, I haven’t finished eating.”

Shen Yi looked helpless and explained bluntly, “We really don’t have packing boxes in the cafe ……”

Su Ling was silent for a long time and continued to stuff the food into her mouth in a big bite.

Seeing this George couldn’t help finally complain, “You’re obviously pretty, but the only pity is that you have a mouth that can talk and eat.”

Shen Yi just stood on the side and smiled while waiting for George to finish paying.

He did have a peculiar feeling that the girl who had been eating and drinking was staring at himself all the time, like a beast that was injured and wanted to go crazy.

“I’m done!”

After a while, Su Ling finally had enough.

“See you next time, then.”

George nodded slightly and held up his black umbrella as he and the bulging Su Ling walked out of the café with satisfaction.

Shen Yi watched the two leaving the cafe.

As he cleared the table, he said to himself, “I’m not sure which Order is trying to sacrifice the city yet, if Aina comes, I can ask her.”

After tidying up everything, he looked at the sky outside.

The rainstorm showed no sign of stopping, but it was only noon now, so I could still go out.

After a while, Shen Yi, who was wearing a raincoat, picked up the shadow mask and began to transform into an ordinary college student again and left the cafe.

Shen Yi had two things to do, one was to investigate Byron’s villa, the best way to get information about Byron, and the other was to go to the library of the Beland Imperial Academy to find information about the Quiet Word.

He decided to do the latter first.

“Quiet Words, they will probably summon me… another new trouble.”
