Chapter 2 Corner Cafe(1/2)

Even during the day, the office is filled with pale lights.

Partition after partition divides most of the office into small boxes, and in the middle of each box, there is an uninternetted desktop computer and a telephone. Everyone is busy, walking around, some are typing, some are making phone calls, and some are exchanging documents. Lu Xin's workstation is in the middle, and the best employee reward banner is hung on the partition.

All the busy work in the morning had been handled, so Lu Xin stood up and pinched his temple.

After staying in this environment for a long time, I always feel depressed and stuffy, not to mention that there are always so many things to deal with.

"Is Brother Xiao Lu busy now?"

A voice sounded beside Lu Xin. Lu Xin looked up and found that it was the young young man Lu Cheng who came to the office. He was dressed appropriately, with short hair with spirit and sunny temperament. At this time, he was bitter and said, "The director arranged for me to sort out this batch of documents, but I kept it over and over again, and I couldn't figure it out. Time is coming. Brother Lu, can you...can you teach me?"

"Can!"

Lu Xin agreed with a smile: "I'm fine now!"

"Thank you, Brother Lu, you are so nice!"

The sunny guy looked grateful and hurried to Lu Xin's computer desk, one teaching and the other learning.

There were many dissatisfied gazes in the surrounding partitions, and some whispers that were extremely low.

"You are tired of your own work, and you have to teach others!"

"Everyone has the same job, and he is not afraid of teaching others and being kicked out by himself!"

“…”

Lu Xin helped Lu Cheng prepare the documents with many people's dissatisfaction, and waved his hand to the other party's thanks.

Although everyone is nervous in this depressing office atmosphere, Lu Xin has always had his own principles in doing things. If he can help others, he will help. The Red Moon Incident has changed the world, but he still needs to have a character in life.

"Lu Xin, come here, the director calls you!"

Someone called out from afar.

"Here you come!"

Lu Xin put down the coffee, stood up and walked towards the director's office. Here, he saw the director who was so fat that his cheeks were about to hang down. On the sofa opposite, there was a short-haired woman wearing sunglasses and a decent suit sitting.

"Xiao Lu, there is a document here. You can send it to the corner cafe on Qingjiang Road now!"

The director didn't say much nonsense and pointed to the file bag on the table.

When sending documents, it should be the ones from the administrative or choreographers, and it is not the turn of them to do it.

But Lu Xin still did not refuse and nodded, "Okay!"

Then he picked up the document, nodded to the director and the woman with short hair on the sofa, and walked out.

As soon as he left the room, the director immediately changed his smile and said attentively to the short-haired woman: "Team Leader Chen, what you said has been done. Don't worry, I won't ask more or think about it. It's just the project you just told me..."

"Please rest assured, this project won't be given to you!"

The short-haired woman stood up, gently pulled down her sunglasses, and said in a gentle voice.

The director was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and then at this moment, he saw the woman's pupils.

Her pupils seemed to be spinning, faintly red, and seemed to have turned into two red moons.

"Don't remember I've been there, and don't remember to arrange for him to do anything!"

The short-haired woman whispered softly, and then she put on her sunglasses and turned to go out.

The director fell into a moment of confusion. After a few seconds, he woke up, as if nothing had happened, and continued to be busy.

...

...

Lu Xin was in the carriage of the Ringcheng High-speed Railway, holding the handrail, feeling sleepy. Originally, the place where he got on the bus was close to the starting station, there was still a seat, but when he saw a pregnant woman getting on the bus, he gave the seat to her and stood in the bus for half an hour.

The lights in the carriage were slightly flashing, and my sister crawled along the top of the carriage with a pieced bear in her arms.

She hung upside down in front of Lu Xin, swaying like a swing.

Lu Xin was staring silently and pretending to be focused on the beautiful legs of an exquisite girl wearing hip shorts next to her.

My sister was having fun more and more, and the carriage was slightly distorted.

Fortunately, the train was driving very fast and swaying, and this distorted sound was covered up.

"Brother, look, that fat man is so stupid..."

My sister was playing wildly, and suddenly pointed to a fat man who was sleeping while standing and drooling not far away, and smiled at Lu Xin.

"Don't talk to me..."

Lu Xin still forced himself to concentrate on looking at the beautiful woman's legs, and an invisible voice squeezed out between his teeth.

"I can't see you outside, let alone talk to you, and I will be regarded as a crazy person..."

"Stop, it's boring!"

My sister deliberately teased Lu Xin, but when she saw that he was not fooled, she felt a little bored.

"Then be careful, there is something wrong with the place you go this time!"

She said, before Lu Xin could continue asking, she giggled and ran forward in the carriage. When she passed by the fat man who was sleeping while standing, she suddenly pinched the fat man's face with her hand, then crawled into 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 no one within one meter around him, and his eyes were strange.

Lu Xin also joined the onlookers and cast a look at the fat man with a mental illness.

...

...

When getting off the bus, Lu Xin found that it was close to the exterior wall.

The foundation building here has become a bit dilapidated. You can see that the city wall, which is more than ten meters high, casts a deep shadow on the building. Although most of the wandering madmen outside the city have been cleaned up after thirty years, people living in the city still dare not be careless. The focus of municipal work every year continues to strengthen and repair these tall walls.

When he arrived at the corner coffee shop, he found that the environment was very dark.

The surrounding old buildings and bungalows seemed to be empty, and there was no trace of them.

There was a lot of garbage in front of the door, as if it was blown by the wind, and I don’t know how many people have cleaned it.

When I get close to here, for some reason, I feel a sense of depression.

Lu Xin subconsciously didn't like this place, but had already agreed to the director, so he walked in with the file bag.

...

...

"The Thirteenth observer has entered the target area!"

There are more than a dozen observers on a tall building not far from here. Various instruments have been placed. Around the tall building, there are some live ammunitions. Fully armed soldiers are hiding in the dark, nervously hindering everything around them.

The short-haired woman was also among the office staff. She was holding a document in her hand with black lead characters:

"Target code: Street Corner Cafe!"

"Purpose of the action: to detect the potential and specific ability of the observer No. 13 to become a spiritual master!"

“Potential risk: The cafe has been identified as a Level 1 mental contamination zone.

Specifically manifested as:

People close to the cafe will involuntarily be attracted by it.

People who have entered a cafe will die within three to five days, and the cause of death is mostly suicide.

According to analysis, it should be contaminated in the cafe, which has caused severe depression!”

“…”

She put down the documents in her hand and asked the people around her: "Are you ready for the preparation of support?"

The staff nodded and pointed to the next room.

Through the glass partitions of the two rooms, you can see a delicate girl in a foreign dress and like a puppet sitting there.

...

...

When Lu Xin entered the cafe, he felt a warm and lively feeling.

The streets and houses outside seemed empty and deserted.

But this cafe is full of people, and even feels full of people.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, some lowered their heads to have intimate conversations, some sat alone by the window, drinking coffee and reading a book, some squinted their eyes and enjoying a delicious sandwich intently, and a soothing and ancient music floated in the shop. The sun shone in from outside the window, making people feel dazed, and it seemed that they had returned to the world before the Red Moon Catastrophe...

Lu Xin walked through the crowd, came to the bar, and nodded to the waiter wearing a delicate apron behind the bar.

"Someone asked me to send this document here!"

The director didn't say who to send it, so he should just deliver it to the bar.

"Thanks!"
