From the pocket of his black trench coat, George took out a blurry picture - a child holding something red in the rainy night, and the surroundings were illuminated.

This photo was taken by residents who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

At that time, he saw a little girl walking past the window, there was no rain at all around her, and it was very bright.

He took this photo secretly out of surprise, but the quality was poor due to distance and other reasons.

"It's a pity, if the picture quality were clearer, you could see the faces in the photos clearly."

George wanted to know what the little girl in the photo was holding.

But nothing can be done.

As for why she stopped outside this cafe...

George walked slowly to the cafe, rather than working hard, he might as well find an opportunity to take a break.

He put away his umbrella and pushed open the door of the cafe.

"A cup of latte."

George looked up and saw the manager behind the bar.

Just looking at it a little, the experience of more than 20 years told him that the manager of the cafe in front of him was just an ordinary person who had not been exposed to the extraordinary world.

He's just more handsome and temperamental than ordinary people.

Well, there should be nothing to investigate in this store, another useless investigation, he thought silently.

Shen Yi was also looking at the new guests.

A middle-aged man wearing a large black trench coat and slightly slovenly looks like an uncle who was very motivated when he was young but has been hit too hard and gradually became lazy.

There was a scar on the corner of his mouth, so deep that it should have touched the bone.

Such people really need a cup of coffee to heal the wounds in their hearts. Consuming them here is at least much better than going to drink.

Shen Yi smiled professionally and nodded lightly.

"Wait a minute, I'll have coffee delivered soon."

George didn't care too much, he took the umbrella he put away and sat on the seat not far away.

This location is close to the window, and you can observe the situation outside at any time.

George's eyes swept around, the wooden-based cafe is clean and tidy, with warm colors as the base tone, giving people a warm and soft feeling.

He was highly inspired, but did not perceive anything out of the ordinary. "Should be, just an ordinary coffee shop?"

Shen Yi brewed the latte, and politely brought it to the table.

"Latte, take it slow."

George raised a hand calmly and said, "Wait, sir, I have something to ask you."

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, but did not go back directly. George immediately asked, "Have you seen any strange people recently, or did anything strange happen?"

"I mean the completely out of the ordinary, incredible kind."

Recently, strange things ran out of people to ask this kind of question again and again, and Shen Yi subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

He smiled calmly and gently.

"Strange people and things? The weather hasn't been very good recently, and there are hardly many people in the cafe."

Shen Yi shook his head and complained, "If it's abnormal, it's the damned weather, it can be so bad all the time."

Nolan people have always been known to like to talk about the weather, and Shen Yi knows this.

He didn't know the origin of the other party, but the other party should also be unsure of his true identity.

In that case, don't take the initiative to expose yourself.

George nodded, and a small smile appeared on his otherwise expressionless face.

"I see, thank you very much."

Is there really no useful information?

He picked up the latte on the table and blew, not drinking it right away.

George is not afraid of the high temperature produced by coffee at all, but he does not want to reveal his identity in front of ordinary people.

So he decided to wait and drink.

Shen Yi observed secretly behind the bar, and after seeing the man blowing on the coffee, he was inexplicably relaxed.

He remembered Byron, who drank coffee without fear of the heat.

Maybe he was overthinking it, this is just an ordinary guest?

Finally, the temperature of the coffee gradually became suitable, and George began to drink the latte in his hand.

tasty.

The music in his ears was soothing, and George really rested for a while, fully relaxing his body and mind.

In his career as an investigator for more than two decades, George has faced countless horrors, weirdness, and incomprehensible things.

There are only a few friends left in those days, and George finally understands the importance of daily life outside of battle.

In order to protect this "life", he must prevent the possibility of evil gods appearing in this world.

at all costs.

"Thank you."

After drinking coffee, George stood up, thanked him, and left the cafe calmly.

In a deserted street in Bayland, George, who had already left the cafe a few hundred meters, suddenly stopped.

He felt it.

The cold, hard, and confused breath is like a dense fog that cannot be broken through, shrouding him in layers.

George's originally expressionless face was full of sweat, and his eyes were full of shock.

"The smell of the evil god...even from this far away, it can still be clearly felt

, is simply unimaginable terrible power! "

George took a deep breath, the source of this breath was the coffee shop just now.

"Did you look away?"

The other party swaggered and showed a strong aura, that is, he invited himself over without fear. George was a little confused about what the cafe manager wanted to do.

He returned to the cafe again, and his expression became complicated when he looked at Shen Yi again.

"Welcome, why are you back? Forgot something?"

Shen Yi raised his head and smiled at him. George could see from his smile that he could only have peace and indifference after experiencing life and death.

The rich experience of more than 20 years has taught him that it is impossible to show such an expression if he has not experienced extraordinary things and lost someone important.

It turned out that he really looked away, this man is not simple at all.

Who is he?

No... is he really human?

Part 16 Chapter 16 Guidance

Seeing the other party leave, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to be unable to restrain himself, and a cool air current was flowing through his body.

Shen Yi turned on the phone, checked the time, and then put it on the bar.

"At 7:30, it seems that the time to awaken the power will be delayed for a long time, and the corresponding power will not be obtained immediately after being summoned."

"How to control this new force? Is it the same as flames?"

Shen Yi tentatively stretched out his hand, trying to control the airflow like he wanted to control a flame.

The result is no response.

"Can't send it out?"

Then, Shen Yi tried to let this air flow in his body.

He found that his body suddenly misted, turning into a phantom cloud that had no substance, and could even pass through the gaps in the wood.

But the duration is very short, only ten seconds.

"Useful abilities, much more useful than illusion-like flames, at least to escape."

However, it is still not directly lethal, which makes Shen Yi somewhat helpless.

Not long after Shen Yi changed back to human form, the guest who just walked out of the door actually came back.

Shen Yi groaned in his heart, feeling more and more that this guest was unusual, maybe a Beyonder like Byron.

His face remained unchanged, raised his head and smiled at the other party: "Welcome, why are you back? Forgot something?"

Although he is flustered, Shen Yi has good emotional management skills.

On the one hand, in the service industry, especially in the coffee shop, maintaining a smile and calmness is a basic skill.

On the other hand, there are many things that will surprise Shen Yi recently, no, it should be said that there are too many.

Shock is like... Shock, shock and you get used to it.

George stared into his eyes, and the "young man" in front of him was still calm, obviously feeling that everything was under control.

"Forgot something?"

Indeed, I forgot a truth and misread your true identity.

George swallowed, not expecting that the other party could deceive his rich experience of more than 20 years.

He almost thought that the other party was an ordinary person.

After returning to the cafe, George realized how ridiculous his thoughts were.

The extremely strong evil spirit aura swaggered around the entire cafe, and his own will was like a small boat in a turbulent sea.

He felt an uncontrollable dizziness, almost lost his footing, and a strong tingling came from his head.

George didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​​​doing it. Rather than investigating and fighting, he knew that what he should do is how to appease the other party.

The gods outside the world are not necessarily all enemies, and the investigator is not a warrior who punishes evil and promotes good.

George knew all too well that they were just hapless bastards trying their best to tinker so that the world wouldn't be destroyed.

After all, inside and outside this damned garbage world, there are too many human civilizations that are completely invincible or even incomprehensible!

The reckless investigator is doomed to die, but George is not afraid of death... He just doesn't want to let the millions of Bayland's people be buried with him.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, Shen Yi was a little bit stared at in his heart.

Suddenly Shen Yi saw that he covered his head, as if he had a very headache.

He smiled and said, "How about another cup of coffee?"

Given the risk of death if he didn't do it, George sat back with his hips humbly.

"Okay, let's have another latte then."

Shen Yi nodded, intending to brew another cup of coffee to send the other party away, but he soon found that the raw material of the latte, which is milk, was a bit insufficient.

"Well, the ingredients for the latte don't seem to be enough. I'll go back and get it later."

Shen Yi said with a smile, turned around and went to the back room to get the raw materials.

When he returned to the room, his face turned sour.

"That person came back after going out. No matter how you 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?

Shen Yi still didn't know 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.

"It may be a good person or a bad person. Even if he is a good person, it may not be a good thing."

Maybe because he's a good guy

more likely to be detrimental to yourself.
