Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Street Corner Coffee Shop
Even during the day, the office was lit with pale lights.
One partition after another divides most of the office area into small boxes. In the middle of each box, there is an unconnected desktop computer and a telephone. All the people are busy, walking around, some are typing, some are calling, some are exchanging documents. Lu Xin's workstation is in the middle, and a pennant for the best employee is hung on the partition.
The busy work in the morning has been taken care of, Lu Xin straightened up and squeezed his temple.
After staying in this environment for a long time, I always feel depressed and stuffy, not to mention there are always so many cumbersome things to deal with.
"Brother Lu is busy now?"
A voice rang beside Lu Xin. Lu Xin looked up and found that it was a young young Lu Cheng in the office. He was dressed decently, with short energetic hair and very sunny temperament. At this time, he was bitter and said, "The director arranged for me to sort out this batch of documents, but I have to deal with it, and I always don't know it. The time is coming, little Lu brother, can you...could you teach me? Me?"
"Yes!"
Lu Xin agreed with a smile: "I happen to be fine now!"
"Thank you, Brother Lu, you are so kind!" The
Sunshine guy hurriedly came to Lu Xin's gratitude. Next to the computer desk, one teaches and the other learns.
In the surrounding partitions, many dissatisfied eyes were cast, and there were some extremely low-pitched whispers.
"My own work is exhausting enough, and I have to teach others!"
"Everyone has the same job, and I am not afraid of teaching others and being kicked out!"
"..."
Lu Xin helped Lu Cheng in the dissatisfied gaze of many people. After finishing the document, he waved his hand to the other side's thanks.
Although everyone is very nervous in this depressive office atmosphere, Lu Xin has always had his own principles in doing things. If he can help others, he can help. The Red Moon incident has changed the world, but his character is still To have.
"Lu Xin, come here, the director calls you!"
Someone called from a distance.
"Come!"
Lu Xin put down his coffee, got up and walked towards the director's office. Here, he saw the director who was so fat that both cheeks were hanging down. On the opposite sofa, there was a man wearing sunglasses on his body. Woman with short hair in a decent suit.
"Xiao Lu, there is a document here. Now you can send it to the coffee shop on the corner of Qingjiang Road!" The
director didn't talk nonsense, and pointed to the paper bag on the table.
The documents should be sent by the administrative team or the chores team, and it is not their turn to do it themselves.
But Lu Xin still didn't refuse, and nodded: "Okay!"
Then he picked up the file, nodded to the director and the short-haired woman on the sofa, and walked out.
As soon as he left the room, the director immediately changed a smile, and said attentively to the short-haired woman: "Leader Chen, what you said has been done. Don't worry, I won't ask more or think about it, but you just told me The item I was talking about..."
"Don't worry, this item won't be for you!" The
short-haired woman stood up and gently pulled down her sunglasses, speaking in a gentle voice.
The director was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had misheard, and then at this moment, he saw the woman's pupils.
Her pupils seemed to be spinning, faintly red, as if they turned into two red moons.
"Don't remember that I was here, and don't remember what I arranged for him to do!" The
short-haired woman said softly, with a soft voice, then she put on her sunglasses and turned to go out.
The director fell into a moment of confusion. A few seconds later, he came to his senses, as if nothing had happened, and continued to be busy.
...
...
Lu Xin was in the car of the high-speed rail around the city, holding the handrails, feeling dizzy and sleepy. The place where he got on the train was near the departure station and there was still a seat, but he saw a pregnant woman get on the train. She gave her seat and stood in the car for half an hour.
The lights in the carriage flickered slightly, and the little sister, holding the patchwork bear in her arms, climbed along the top of the carriage.
She hung upside down in front of Lu Xin, swaying like a swing.
Lu Xin kept his eyes open, pretending to look at the beautiful legs of an exquisite girl in shorts with pockets beside him attentively.
The younger sister played happily by herself, the shaking became stronger and stronger, and there was a slight distortion in the carriage.
Fortunately, the train was moving fast and swaying, and this distorted sound was masked.
"Brother, brother, look, that fat guy is so stupid..." My
sister was playing crazy, suddenly pointing to a fat guy who was standing and sleeping not far away, who was still drooling, and smiled at Lu Xin.
"Don't talk to me..."
Lu Xin still forced himself to look at the beautiful woman's legs intently, and an invisible voice squeezed out between her teeth.
"I can't look at you outside, let
alone talk to you. I will be considered crazy..." " Hey, I'm boring!"
My sister deliberately teased Lu Xin, and felt a little bored when she saw that he was not fooled.
"Then be careful yourself. This time there is a problem with where you go!"
She said, before Lu Xin could ask, she "chuckled" and ran forward along the car and passed by. When the fat man was standing and sleeping next to him, she suddenly pinched the fat man's face with her hand, then crawled to the distance and disappeared.
The fat man suddenly woke up and shouted: "Who is touching me?" The
people around looked at the fat man who was completely empty within one meter, with weird eyes.
Lu Xin also joined the crowd of onlookers and cast a mentally ill look at the fat man.
...
...
When he got off the car, Lu Xin found that it was close to the outer wall.
The foundations here have become a bit dilapidated. You can see that the city wall that is more than ten meters high has cast a deep shadow on the building. Although 30 hours have passed, the wandering lunatics outside the city have already Most of them have been cleaned up, but people who live in the city still dare not care. The focus of municipal work every year is to continue to strengthen and repair these tall walls.
When he came to the corner coffee shop, he found the environment here was very gloomy.
The surrounding old buildings and bungalows seemed to be empty, and half of the shadow was not visible.
There was a lot of rubbish in front of the door, like it was blown by the wind, and I don't know how many people hadn't cleaned it.
Near here, I don't know why, there will be a feeling of depression.
Lu Xin didn't like it subconsciously, but he had agreed to the director, so he walked in with the file bag.
...
...
"Observed No. 13 has entered the target area!" On
a tall building not far from here, there are more than a dozen observers, and various instruments have been placed around the tall building. Some armed with live ammunition, heavily armed soldiers hide in the dark, nervously hampering everything around them.
The short-haired woman was also among the office staff. She was holding a document in her hand with black typefaces:
"Target code: Street corner cafe!"
"Purpose of action: To detect that the observed person on the 13th became a psychiatrist Potential and specific capabilities!"
"Potential risk: The cafe has been identified as a first-level mental pollution area. The
specific manifestation is:
people close to the cafe will be attracted involuntarily by it. Those who have
entered the cafe will arrive in three days Died within five days, and most of the deaths were suicide.
According to the analysis, the café was contaminated and caused serious depression!"
"..."
She put down the documents in her hand and asked the people around her: "Prepare Is the support ready?" The
staff nodded and pointed to the next room.
Through the glass partition between the two rooms, one can see a delicate girl in a foreign dress like a puppet sitting there.
...
...
in Lu Xin entered the cafe when it felt a warm and lively feel.
The streets outside and the house looked empty and deserted.
But this cafe is full of people, and there is even a feeling of overcrowding.
There are smiles on everyone's faces, some people bow their heads and talk intimately, some sit alone by the window and read a book while drinking coffee, some squint their eyes and intently enjoy a delicious sandwich, floating in the shop A soothing and ancient music, the sunlight spilled in from the window, making people stupefied, as if returning to the world before the Red Moon catastrophe...
Lu Xin passed through the crowd, came to the front of the bar, and turned to the dress behind the bar. The waiter in the delicate apron nodded.
"Someone asked me to send this document over!" The
director didn't say who to send it to, so it should be fine to send it to the bar.
"Thank you!" The
waiter didn't care at all, but thanked him with a smile, then poured a cup of coffee and pushed it in front of Lu Xin.
"This..."
Lu Xin wanted to say, he didn't plan to stay for coffee.
However, the coffee smelled very fragrant, completely different from the cheap coffee I drank in the company.
"Take this trip, it's hard work, this is what I asked you!"
The waiter smiled, with a very comfortable kindness on his face.
Lu Xin felt a little slow, but couldn't say a word of rejection for a while.
Then at this moment, his eyes froze slightly.
Behind the waiter's delicate apron, a thick and ugly tentacle suddenly stretched out, and it slowly stretched out in front of Lu Xin. At the top of the tentacle, the flesh of the tentacle slowly cracked, and suddenly there was a coin-sized black soft body that slid into the coffee. Among them, Lu Xin looked down. The soft body looked like an egg and an eye, with black pupils looking at him in the cup.
The coffee became more fragrant in an instant, and every strand of it was incredibly attractive.
The waiter also smiled more cordially, and gently pushed the coffee in front of Lu Xin, motioning him to enjoy it.
"No, thank you!"
Lu Xin refused politely, turning around and walking outside as if he had found nothing.
When he reached the door, he looked back.
I saw that everyone in the shop had stopped their movements, looking at him sluggishly and dumbly.
He turned around hurriedly, stiffening, moving faster and faster.
