Black Cube Cafe, located on a lively street in Satellite City No. 4.
The decoration of the coffee shop is no different from other coffee shops. It is elegant, bourgeois, romantic, and has a Western style. It uses all the delicate and reserved methods to show that I am different from other charming bitches on this street. I am noble and noble.
Lu Xin is not against coffee, but I can't say I have a good opinion of it either.
Because the first time I came into contact with the pollution incident was in a coffee shop, and it was very expensive.
But under the guidance of the drunkard, he came here alone.
Last night, the drunkard had a detailed discussion with him for a long time, recounting her itinerary, experiences, and even what she had done and what she had said to whom on the day she was targeted by the wild ability user. In order to help Lu Xin deepen her memory, she also used her own abilities to let Lu Xin embody several important points that she thought were important on that day in order to find clues...
This coffee shop was the place where she finally conducted in-depth investigation that day.
It looked like a somewhat luxurious coffee shop, but it was an important base of the mysterious organization she was investigating. The drunkard came here to determine who the key members of the organization were, and then submitted the list to the Guard Department for arrest.
But the night she returned, she was targeted by Mental Monster.
Therefore, the possibility of being tricked is greatest here.
"Ding Bell"
When I pushed the door in, the wind chimes on the door frame rang, and the sound was very pleasant.
Lu Xin carried his bag and came to a seat by the window to sit down, which was the drunkard's position at that time.
"Sir, what would you like to drink?"
A girl wearing a black maid uniform came over with a coffee order and asked with a smile.
What she said was probably a certain island accent that she learned from the movies. It sounded a bit coy, but not pure. To be precise, it should be the local Qinggang dialect and the small island accent mixed together to form a kind of plasticky speech.
"Let me take a look first."
Lu Xin maintained his steady temperament and took the coffee order from her.
Then looking at the unit price above, his pupils shrank.
Then, he frowned slightly, pointed to the most eye-catching and most expensive cup above, and said, "This one."
Because an alcoholic is responsible for reimbursement, Lu Xin doesn't feel bad.
Besides, the drunkard came over that day and ordered this cup of coffee.
Lu Xin actually doesn't mind enjoying a little luxury when she is forced to do so and doesn't need to spend her own money.
"Okay, please wait a moment..."
The waitress in black maid uniform said something that made people worry that she would bite her tongue, and then skipped back.
"This doesn't look like a stronghold of an illegal organization..."
Lu Xin thought to himself.
However, he did not relax his vigilance, because the drunkard's investigation has determined that this coffee shop is an important base related to the source of Satellite City No. 4's headless murder case in the secret room, Red Vest Brotherhood's collective transformation into potted plants and other strange events. In a place like this, it is very likely that his unintentional words or casual glances may bring danger, so...
... I must concentrate on myself and think of every possible way to prevent this kind of danger from finding me.
Lu Xin slowly remembered what the drunkard said and did at that time. In her memory, the drunkard seemed to have ordered a cup of coffee in a leisurely and natural way, and then mixed half a cup of white wine into it. She also happily chatted with the loud-tongued waiter in maid uniform for a while about comics from the civilized era, and debated whether the bald head was more powerful, or the energetic guy with hair that burned into the sky like flames was more powerful.
Later, she became very interested in the cleaning lady in the coffee shop. She asked her in detail about her age, family, monthly salary, and her relationship with her current husband and her children who had just started working. She confirmed that she had no plans to remarry.
The reason why a drunkard gets into trouble of death must be in these details.
It must be some of her actions that aroused the suspicion of this organization, so they decided to kill her.
"Am I going to do all the things she did, including talking about comics and teasing the cleaning lady?"
Lu Xin's face couldn't help but twitch, this was a bit difficult for him.
"Sir, your coffee is here, Lin, please use it..."
A light black figure came forward and placed the coffee in front of Lu Xin.
Seemingly seeing Lu Xin, he ordered the most expensive coffee without changing his expression and his heart did not beat. The black maid was also very enthusiastic towards him.
"Okay..."
Lu Xin nodded, then looked at the tray, which only contained a cup of black coffee in a white porcelain cup.
He looked at other places with some curiosity and said, "Where are the sugar and milk?"
"Xiansen..."
The waiter in the black maid uniform smiled very cutely, "This is the specialty of our store. It is pure black coffee. Only by drinking it directly can you feel its bitterness and mellow aroma. So the proper way to drink it is without adding sugar or milk..."
"Oh."
Lu Xin smiled quickly and said, "I know, but you'd better bring me some. It's too bitter and I don't like it."
He knew that some people liked to drink pure coffee without sugar, but he really didn't like the bitter taste.
In his opinion, anyone who does not add sugar or milk is heresy.
After listening to Lu Xin's words, the black maid did not move and explained with a smile, "Only when you taste the bitterness, can you feel its fragrance. Life is also like this. Sometimes, we will feel difficult and painful. In fact, this pain is caused by us. If you can try to let go of your own prejudices and accept the truth of life, it may be a lot easier..."
Lu Xin looked up at her and saw her smiling happily with a gentle voice:
"Xiansen, you can start with this cup of coffee. Our coffee is specially shipped from the south. The name is Black Cube. The quantity is very small every year. That's why it is sold so expensive. Putting anything on it is an insult..."
"..."
Lu Xin looked down at the coffee and felt that there should be no problem in the coffee, but the problem was bitterness.
He thought for a while and said, "I..."
The maid said, "If you really want something sweet, why not drink cappuccino..."
"..."
"That's it..."
Lu Xin I didn't expect people to have such respect for coffee. After thinking about it, he said, "Then give me a cup of cappuccino!"
"Then I'll get you a drink."
The waiter in black maid uniform was stunned for a moment, then her accent changed and she turned around and left.
"Wait..."
Lu Xin stopped her, pointed to the coffee in front of her, and said, "Return this cup."
The black maid costume turned to look at Lu Xin with a smile on her face, "I'm sorry, sir, but the coffee is non-refundable..."
"You..."
Lu Xin was heartbroken that he refused to return such expensive coffee.
But if you put yourself in someone else's shoes, you've already cooked it for yourself, and you can't sell it if you take it back. It's normal not to return it.
He had no choice but to sigh and said, "Forget it, just drink it and bring me some candy."
The black maid pretended to be. "Sir, this coffee doesn't have sugar..."
"But I don't like bitter drinks."
"Then why don't you drink cappuccino..."
"Then return this cup to me..."
"The coffee is non-refundable..."
"Then bring me some candy..."
"Then why don't you drink cards..."
"Wouldn't it be disrespectful to cappuccino if you always say this?"
"..."
Inexplicably, the topic suddenly entered a stalemate stage.
Lu Xin looked at the waiter, and the waiter looked at Lu Xin. Both of them smiled, very polite, but not to be outdone.
After all, they are all people of faith.
"Xiansen, our coffee does not contain sugar..."
The smile on the black maid's face was a little stiff, but she still insisted on her opinion word for word.
"Okay..."
Lu Xin finally decided that he was a grown man after all and could not quarrel with a little girl.
He compromised.
The black maid's face showed an expression of relief and appreciation.
Then Lu Xin took out a piece of candy from the bag beside him, then slowly peeled off the candy wrapper, put the almost melted chocolate inside, picked up the silver spoon next to it, and stirred it gently to make it melt evenly.
"Huh?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing.
Just outside the coffee shop, my sister's figure appeared. She was lying on the glass window, staring at Lu Xin's bag.
Lu Xin suddenly thought of something and held the bag down.
Broken, exposed...
It was also at this time that the black maid with a coffee order in her arms turned gloomy, and then slowly smiled, looking at the cup of black coffee in front of Lu Xin that had become no longer pure black coffee because it was mixed with chocolate...
She slowly opened her mouth, revealing her neat white teeth and dark red gums:
"Xiansen, you have such good taste..."
