Stop Calling Me!

The sound of dense rain came from beside his ears, Shen Yi sat on the chair by the window.

In his right hand, a pure black pen slowly rotated at a regular speed.

"There will be heavy rain in Bayland tonight, which lasts for a long time and has a large amount of precipitation. Citizens are asked to take safety precautions and avoid going out as much as possible."

The weather announcer's voice came faintly from the small TV in the back room.

Shen Yi stopped turning the pen and put it on the table.

"Snapped."

The water on the road is gradually rising. If the rain lasts for a few days, it may flood the cafe.

"There should be no more guests coming today."

Shen Yi closed his eyes, and slowly opened his palms.

White flames spewed out, moving freely in the coffee shop, squeezed out from the gap of the coffee shop as if alive.

The torrential rain was pouring outside the house, and the overflowing water curtain kept washing the whole world.

Real fire is quenched by water, and the white flame is essentially a phantom, not extinguished even when plunged into the furious, dripping rain.

But the white flame moved freely in the rain, turned the corner and came to the next street.

It's June, and it's still light at five o'clock in the afternoon.

The sorrows and joys of the people in the rain curtain are not the same. Some people are anxious, some are laughing, some are sad, and some are doing nothing and carelessly.

Shen Yi can clearly perceive their voices and appearance, and has a completely three-dimensional dynamic model in his mind.

The white flame passed quickly over the umbrella, flying across the streets like a white bird, crossing the rain curtain, and flying back and forth to the remote coffee shop.

Shen Yi opened his eyes, raised his palm, and the white flame pierced through the glass door back into his palm.

"The limit distance is about [-] meters, so the ability of 'Bai Yan' has been controlled quite well."

"Then, it's a test of the degree of development of 'atomization'."

Shen Yi straightened his right arm calmly, keeping it level with the table below.

Throw it down with all your strength.

The moment the arm touched the table, it turned into white cold mist and shuttled across the table.

This is another training method of Shen Yi.

It is not enough just to be able to atomize, but to be able to achieve "instant" atomization to have practical effects.

Otherwise, people's attack has already arrived, so they slowly think about the atomization, wouldn't it be impossible to die again?

Now Shen Yi's whole body has not turned into a cloud, but only his right arm has turned into a cloud.

"It's a pity that the body of the cloud still cannot be enlarged or reduced, nor can it be extended."

Shen Yi shook his head, still showing a slight smile on his face, after all, his hard work finally paid off.

In the past two months, whether it is the control of the flame beyond the field of vision or the partial atomization of the body, he has been quite comfortable in control.

He also had a new understanding of the two forces. "One is release, the other is change. The two forms of power are completely different."

In the past two months, he has not been summoned again, and his life has returned to its original calm.

It's just that the man named George would occasionally come to the coffee shop to drink coffee, and Shen Yi gradually became sure that this man was an extraordinary person, but he had no malice towards him.

Everyone has their own secrets, and he didn't delve into each other's origins, and the two gradually became acquainted.

Shen Yi and George told many stories about that world.

He really likes to make friends with the customers in the store in the form of storytelling, covering history, religion, philosophy and so on.

Every time George listened to it, he would show a meaningful expression, obviously listening to it with his heart.

Shen Yi tapped his index finger on the table calmly, thinking that making friends with George was a good move.

"This is a good thing. In this world, there is an extra friend of a transcendent. If his identity is revealed and he is hunted down in the future, he may be needed for his help."

He knows that the value of a friend is like an artifact.

A friend is someone who can always help you in the face of difficulties. Making more friends is a very good habit no matter which world you are in.

......

Sure enough, there were not many customers that night, and the few customers who occasionally came to the cafe were mostly to avoid the rain.

It's getting late.

The torrential rain was still falling outside, so Shen Yi closed the doors and windows and the lights in the coffee shop.

He came to the mirror, brushed his teeth and washed his hands, feeling really relieved.

"Today was another calm day, and life finally resumed."

During the period two months ago, he couldn't sleep because of the vibration almost every day, let alone facing life directly at the summoning scene.

"You should be able to sleep well today."

Back to the small bed in the back room, this time Shen Yi soon fell asleep.

Shen Yi vaguely opened his eyes, he felt that his surroundings became blurred, and everything around him was somewhat unclear.

Sleep usually rests the body and calms the mind; however, there are always exceptions—yes, there are always exceptions.

Shen Yi didn't know why, he gradually regained his sobriety in the dream.

"Am I in the dream world?"

Shen Yi discovered this.

Normally, a person who has fallen into a dream will wake up when he realizes that he is dreaming, but he can realize that he is dreaming.

He looked around, the ground was paved with charred leaves, and he didn't know how far he could see at a glance.

The burnt ashes piled up into tall trees, and each tree of ashes was tens of meters high, covering the boundless pure white sky of Nuoda.

There are no stars, no sun, nothing in the sky.

A woodland made entirely of ash, with pale trees as the main tone, and the water in the woodland is cold and deep but never clear.

Shen Yi has long been a little allergic to "ashes", and he can tell the peculiarity at a glance.

He exhaled, "Ash... There are trees made of ashes everywhere, maybe this is the domain of the Lord of Ashes..."

Being here is really a wonderful experience, Shen Yi doesn't feel like a simple lucid dream, it's more like playing some kind of super realistic VR game.

"I don't know how to get out of here..."

Shen Yi walked towards the front of the Pale Woodland.

Tall ash trees stood silently on both sides, and there was no other noise except the sound of his shoes on the charred leaves.

In the forest, Shen Yi saw a dull little girl standing not far in front, motionless.

She has long silver hair, burgundy pupils, smooth and delicate calves exposed under the pure white robe, and tender skin as white as flowing cream.

He quickly recognized that the other party was the little girl he had saved.

Her eyes staring straight ahead seemed to be staring at herself, but she didn't seem to see anything at all.

"Compared to myself... her posture is like a real dream."

Shen Yi gently touched her little head.

"Is this in a daze?"

He had wanted to do this a long time ago, but at that time he forcibly held back in order to maintain the style of God.

"It's a dream now, since it's like this..."

"I can do whatever I want."

He immediately put his hands on the little girl's... hair and rubbed it back and forth.

Whether it is for little girls or small animals, Shen Yi has a natural love for the cubs of life.

Shen Yi thinks this is very normal, all life has this mentality, otherwise how can human beings protect their offspring to survive?

After rubbing his hair for a while, he felt the little girl's eyes move slightly.

The action is fleeting.

Shen Yi is not sure, she seems to have reacted to her actions, or it seems to be just an illusion.

Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The Brand and the Word of Silence

"Having such a weird dream must have something to do with being summoned, right?"

Shen Yi thought silently, after waking up, he must write down everything in the dream in his notes.

"It shouldn't be a coincidence that someone related to the summoning ceremony would dream about it, but the specific reason is not yet known."

Shen Yi rubbed the little girl's silver hair for a few minutes, the silver hair was smooth and shiny, and it felt very good.

During this period, she was basically in a daze, and only made a few small reactions.

He smiled at the little girl who was barely moving: "It's a pity that it's just a manifestation in my dream, not a real person. Come to my shop if you have a chance in the future."

Not knowing what was going on, the little girl's eyes seemed to brighten up, as if she had been greatly encouraged.

Shen Yi let go of the hand touching his head, "I'm getting calmer and calmer now, is it because I'm not surprised?"

He found that the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred, as if marked with a mosaic.

"It seems that the dream won't last long, and I'm about to wake up from the dream."

He suddenly thought of a question.

"Why did you dream of being here only once in the past two months?"

What is the trigger for coming to this dream?

With so little information, Shen Yi couldn't think of an answer at all, so he could only wait here for the separation and dissolution of the dream...

"Wake up first and then talk."
