The Black Cube Cafe is located on a busy street in Satellite City No. 4.
The decoration of the cafe is no different from other cafes. It is elegant, petty bourgeoisie, romantic, and western. It uses all the delicate and reserved methods to show that it is different from other coquettish and cheap girls on this street. I am noble and expensive.
Lu Xin is not opposed to coffee, but he doesn't have any good feelings about it.
Because the first time he 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 discussed with him in detail for a long time, and repeated her itinerary, experience, and even what she did and 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 ability to let Lu Xin reflect several important points that she thought on that day in order to find clues...
This coffee shop is where she conducted her last 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 core members of the organization were, and then submit a list to the security office for arrest.
However, she was targeted by the mental monster on the night she returned.
So, it was most likely that she was caught here.
…
…
"Dingling"
When she pushed the door open, the wind chimes on the door frame rang, and the sound was very pleasant.
Lu Xin carried his bag and sat down by the window, which was the drunkard's seat at the time.
"Mr., what would you like to drink?"
A girl in a black maid outfit came over with a coffee menu and asked with a smile.
She probably spoke in a certain island accent that she learned from a movie. It sounded a little coquettish, but not pure. To be precise, it should be a mixture of Qinggang's local dialect and island accent, forming a kind of plastic language.
"Let me take a look first."
Lu Xin maintained his steady temperament and took the coffee order from her.
Then he looked at the price on it, and his pupils shrank.
Then he frowned slightly, pointed to the most eye-catching and expensive cup on it, and said, "This one."
Because the drunkard was responsible for reimbursement, Lu Xin didn't feel bad.
Besides, the drunkard ordered this cup of coffee when he came that day.
When he was forced and didn't need to spend his own money, Lu Xin didn't mind enjoying a little luxury.
"Okay, please wait a moment..."
The waitress in a black maid outfit said something that made people worry that she would bite her tongue, and she skipped back.
"How can this be the base of an illegal organization..."
Lu Xin thought to himself.
However, he did not relax his vigilance, because the drunkard's investigation had determined that this coffee shop was an important base related to the headless murder case in the closed room of Satellite City No. 4, the collective transformation of the Red Vest Brotherhood into potted plants and other strange events. In such a place, it is very likely that an unintentional word or an inadvertent glance from him may bring danger, so...
... He must concentrate and try his best to prevent this danger from finding him.
...
...
Lu Xin slowly remembered what the drunkard said and did at the time. In his memory, the drunkard seemed to order a cup of coffee leisurely and naturally, and then mixed it with half a cup of white wine. She also happily chatted with the big-tongued maid-dressed waitress about the comics of the civilized era, arguing about whether the bald head was more powerful or the spirited guy with hair burning like flames to the sky was more powerful.
Later, she became very interested in the cleaning lady in the coffee shop. She asked her about her age, family, monthly salary, and her relationship with her current husband and her child who had just started working. She confirmed that she had no plan to remarry.
The reason why the drunkard got into trouble must be in these details.
It must be some of her actions that aroused the suspicion of the organization, so they decided to kill her.
"Do I have to do everything she did, including talking about comics and teasing the cleaning lady?"
Lu Xin's face twitched. It was a bit difficult for him.
"Mr., your coffee is here. Please enjoy it slowly..."
A light black figure came up and put the coffee in front of Lu Xin.
Seeing that Lu Xin ordered the most expensive coffee without changing his expression, the black maid waiter was also very enthusiastic about him.
"Okay..."
Lu Xin nodded, then looked at the tray, which only had a cup of black coffee in a white porcelain cup.
He looked around curiously and said, "Where are the sugar and milk?"
"Sir..."
The waitress in a black maid outfit smiled very cutely: "This is the specialty of our store, it is pure black coffee, you can feel its bitterness and mellowness when you drink it directly, so the formal way to drink it is to not add sugar and milk..."
"Oh oh."
Lu Xin smiled hurriedly and said, "I know, but 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, those who didn't add sugar and milk were heretics.
After listening to Lu Xin's words, the black maid waitress did not move, and explained with a smile: "Only when you taste the bitterness can you feel its fragrance. Life is like this. Sometimes, we feel very difficult and painful. In fact, this pain is given to ourselves. If you can try to put down your prejudice and accept the truth of life, maybe you will feel much easier..."
Lu Xin looked up at her and saw that she was smiling happily with a gentle voice:
"Mr., you can start with this cup of coffee. Our coffee is specially shipped from the south. It is called Black Magic Cube. The annual quantity is very small, so it is sold so expensive. Putting anything in it is an insult to it..."
"..."
Lu Xin looked down at the coffee and felt that there should be no problem with the coffee. The problem is bitterness.
He thought for a moment and said, "I..."
The maid waiter said, "If you really want to drink something sweet, why not drink cappuccino..."
"..."
"Is that so..."
Lu Xin didn't expect people to respect coffee so much. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then give me a cup of cappuccino!"
"Then I'll get you one."
The waiter in black maid costume was stunned for a moment, then her accent changed and she turned and left.
"Wait..."
Lu Xin stopped her and pointed at the coffee in front of her, saying, "Refund this cup."
The maid in black maid costume turned her head and looked at Lu Xin, with a smile on her face: "Sorry, sir, coffee is not refundable..."
"You..."
Such an expensive coffee is not refundable, Lu Xin's heart twitched.
But if you put yourself in their shoes, they have already brewed it for you, and you can't sell it if you take it back, so it's normal not to return it.
So you can only sigh helplessly and say: "Forget it, just drink it, bring me some sugar."
The black maid said: "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..."
"Coffee can't be returned..."
"Then bring me some sugar..."
"Why don't you drink cappuccino..."
"You always say this, won't you be disrespectful to cappuccino?"
"..."
Inexplicably, the topic suddenly entered a stalemate.
Lu Xin looked at the waiter, and the waiter also looked at Lu Xin. Both of them smiled, very polite, but unwilling to be outdone.
After all, they are all people of faith.
"Sir, our coffee doesn't have sugar..."
The smile on the black maid's face was a little stiff, but she still insisted on her opinion word by word.
"Okay..."
Lu Xin finally decided that he was a grown man after all, and it was not good to quarrel with a little girl.
He compromised.
The black maid's face showed a gratified and appreciative expression.
Then Lu Xin took out a piece of candy from the bag beside him, and 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 more evenly.
"Hmm?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little depressed.
Just outside the coffee shop, the figure of the younger sister appeared. She leaned on the glass window and stared at Lu Xin's bag.
Lu Xin thought of something in an instant and held the bag down.
It's broken, exposed...
...
...
At the same time, the black maid who was holding the coffee menu in her arms had a gloomy face, and then slowly smiled, looking at the cup of black coffee in front of Lu Xin, which was no longer pure because of the chocolate...
She slowly grinned, revealing her neat white teeth and dark red gums:
"Mr., you have... good taste..."
