The bus arrived at the destined station.

Shen Yi left the station with an umbrella and walked quickly towards the cafe.

This heavy rain will end tomorrow, and when the time the rain was over, the threat of Quiet Words should also be eliminated.

~You can live a peaceful life?

Shen Yi only thought about it a little bit, and he was a bit hopeless, and there was a little unlucky guy at home he didn't know what to do with her.

"Where are you going to send her? You can't keep her in a coffee shop."

His room was only ten square meters, it's too much to raise another one, and there was no space in the living room.

On top of that he had been playing several images, while at the same time he was also deceiving George, Byron, and others. In this case, it was impossible for others to live with him.

By this way, the truth will be exposed easily.

Even if he trusted Aina and knew that she was not a bad person, he didn't want his secret to be discovered, leading to a series of new troubles.

But he couldn't leave the little girl like that. Could he have sent her to Beland's orphanage?

He thought about it all the way and didn't have a good idea, in the end, he simply packed it in the back of his mind and thought about the current situation.

It's almost noon, and he had to go back and cook her lunch.

As a result, when he returned to the cafe, he found that the shattered glass door pieces had been cleaned up.

Moreover, Aina also cooked a table of meals. Although it was a Nolan-style meal, it still exceeded his expectations.

Shen Yi complimented. "You are much more virtuous than I thought."

Wearing a small apron, Aina said, "In the orphanage, we were all asked to learn a skill, so I chose cooking."

"Why?"

Aina explained: "Because I think, compared to other skills, only cooking can make everyone happy, and there should be no one who doesn't like food."

Shen Yi smiled and nodded. "Good idea. Maybe, I can teach you how to make real coffee when I have time."

"How to make ...... Coffee?" Aina cocked her little head.

She didn't know anything about coffee and couldn't even distinguish between the types of coffee and the way it was made.

While putting down the umbrella, he inquired. "How did you get along with Coke just now?"

Aina shuddered and whispered, "It's okay."

Coke took the initiative to crawl to Shen Yi's side and rolled on the ground, he squatted down and stroked the cat's chin, and thought of taking it to get a few vaccinations later, by the way, another neutering session.

After eating, Aina went back into the back room and hid inside.

She was really afraid of hanging around in the cafe where the wobbling, skulking Coke was, but the cat was quite relaxed and comfortable.

Shen Yi saw Aina trotting back into the room and knew she hadn't recovered yet.

Therefore, he did not propose the idea of ​​letting her leave.

Sighing, he sat down on the chair, and a burst of sleepiness came up "I can't sit in a chair every night… I can only find an opportunity to ask her if anyone she knows takes her in. "

Gradually, he was about to fall asleep.

— — 

The alley outside the cafe.

George and Su Ling had arrived, but they were just standing in the alley and did not enter the cafe immediately.

George looked through his pockets in surprise, as if he had lost something important.

"Where are my cigarettes, I must smoke one before going in, I won't be allowed to smoke inside the cafe."

Su Ling lifted her face and said, "I took it."

George looked puzzled: "Huh? Why did you take my cigarettes?"

Su Ling said: "Because someone asked me, the bureau doctors said your lungs are bad and the consequences of further smoking are very serious."

"I know the consequences are serious, but I want to die now if I don't keep smoking," George said gravely.

Su Ling persuaded expressionlessly, "Quit smoking, it's good for you."

"This is the only hobby left in my life, and you actually want to deprive it, you are too lenient."

George sighed and suddenly reached out his hand, took out a dry cigarette from Su Ling's ear, lit it silently, and smoked it leisurely.

Su Ling was shocked, incredulous: "What's going on here?"

"Whoops."

With a smug smile, George says: "You're still too young. I have long known that you hide my cigarettes with your tactics you still want to hide from me?"

"Don't underestimate A-level investigators."

Su Ling's face darkened. "So did you just fool me?"

George just laughed and didn't say anything more, waiting until the cigarette was finished, he reached out and patted Su Ling's shoulder.

“Come on, let's go to the cafe and see the mysterious big shot.”

They entered the cafe together and found the broken glass door before entering the "door".

"How miserable, boss."

George greeted Shen Yi with a smile, who was sitting in the chair.

Shen Yi sat on the chair with a sluggish face, hands folded in front of the table, smiling: "Well, I was attacked, as you can see."

He was actually on the verge of falling asleep and was now forcing himself up.

"As usual, the two of you come in and have a coffee and talk."

Suppresing his sleepiness he stood up, went to the counter, and started making coffee, he even wanted to pour himself caffeine directly.

The two soon found a place to sit down.

George saw a cat lying on its stomach and squinting at him.

Somehow he had a peculiar delusion that the cat seemed to hate himself very much.

But, he've never hit a cat before.

He narrowed his eyes.

Since this cat was owned by Shen Yi, perhaps it was not as simple as it seems.

Two cups of coffee soon came up.

Su Ling wanted to order more snacks, but she quickly gave up because this meal had to be paid separately.

George took a deep breath and said, "It's hard to imagine what kind of person would dare to attack you."

Shen Yi waved his hand, showing a tired look: "Of course, there are some boring people, so there are some boring attacks. I believe you have already obtained the information, and it will be good for everyone to get rid of them."

As expected, we had the same interest, and George nodded: "We’ll do it at night."

Speaking here, he paused for a moment, "It's just that the other side is so powerful and can easily revive another Order in one night, and also dared to directly attacked the Anti-Magic bureau, so they obviously have quite a few cards."

George rose earnestly and pleaded: "I don't know what the price will be to ask you to do it yourself."

Shen Yi was slightly taken aback, he really didn't expect that the other party would actually make such a request.

~No, no, I have no lethality, how can I possibly beat a cult group with supernatural power.

He said as calmly as possible: "Why do I have to take action? As far as I know, your strengths cannot be defeated by a mere cult group."

George continued, "But if we can get a victory without casualties, it is naturally the best result."

George naturally knew that the Anti-Magic Bureau took the initiative and would not be defeated by a cult group, otherwise Nolan would have fallen long ago.

But he felt that the investigators would have sacrificed, which is bound to happen, and if this one mysterious being could be allowed to strike, the number of sacrifices would be reduced, even if one less colleague could die would be good.

Shen Yi remained silent for a long time, he had no fighting ability at all, but ‘you invited me to sit on the scene?’

"I refuse."

He shook his head, stepped aside, and said in a more serious tone, "Humans, shouldn’t be too greedy."

A white flame formed on his hand...so terrifying, and an indescribable breath flowed from his body.

Shen Yi had already known from Byron that when he released his ability, he would burst out with the breath of the corresponding god of the world.

Very suitable for bluffing.

Coke immediately spirited up and ran next to Shen Yi, rubbing his calf.

Su Ling stood up reflexively and bowed slightly. Her face was a little pale, her hands unconsciously touched her waist.

George's face changed, and he immediately shouted: "Calm down!"

He immediately bowed deeply and also reached out to hold down the shocked Su Ling on the side, pressing her head and forcing her to bow together.

"I'm very sorry. I totally got carried away this time, we're leaving now."

Su Ling's limbs were completely tense, she had already entered a state of stress, and clearly, at any moment she might not be able to control herself.

George knew that he could only get here today, and it was hard for people who had inspiration but were not strong will not to be affected by this breath.

He knew that Su Ling was not weak-willed but rather have extreme mentality, with some shadow of childhood.

This was a very common thing in the anti-magic bureau.

Shen Yi stopped talking and just waited in silence for the two to leave the cafe.

It was only when they all went far that he put up the white flame and entered the back room, where Aina sat in bed with a miserable face.

Um, it seems. ... ... ... ... ... The smell of God outside the world also affected her.

"It's okay, nothing will happen tonight, just be at peace in the cafe."

Aina nodded and looked at the envoy in front of her with reverence.

"I understand, Lord Divine Envoy, did you have a guest just now?"

"Yes, it's just that it's not convenient for you to meet."

Shen Yi didn't explain much. He came to the cafe again, sat on a chair, and waited for the night with Coke in his arms.

Before he knew it, it was getting dark.

The rain was still falling in the dark but much smaller.

The storm, which had been howling for days, had quietened down, and the days of rain had come to an end.

Shen Yi quietly sipped his coffee, even though he was very sleepy, he couldn't sleep.

He also did not want to sleep through the night like this and furthermore, there was no place for him to sleep.

In the dark, Shen Yi sat in a chair and whispered to himself: "It's a night that's bound to be restless."

For some reason, this feeling of manipulating things behind the scenes gave him a faint pleasure.

This kind of pleasure was unprecedented. It's a whole new and wonderful experience, some kind of like the wonderful moment of harvesting, fishing, and hunting.

A lot of people will die tonight.
