Chapter 111 Visiting the Coffee Shop with the Bullfinch
Zhao Hui re-entered the human world and should have been very familiar with him, but after staying in the fifth area for a long time, he felt that it was a bit strange here.
At this time, a strange lieutenant threw him a few new clothes, "take a shower, and then change his clothes."
If the guest is as he pleases, he will naturally not refuse. It is a great thing to be able to take a shower and take care of it.
Half an hour later, his whole body was completely renewed. What he wore was the most ordinary human costume, not the uniformed military uniform.
No one cares about Zhao Hui's existence anymore. Who would have noticed whether there was one more person in the huge barracks? It would be better to walk around instead of staying here. He walked away from the camp, but no one stopped him.
On the watchtower in the distance, a strong man respectfully asked the colonel, "Just let it go?"
"Unless he stays voluntarily, it will lose its meaning." The colonel said seriously, "I think he still likes the Special Administrative Region. You are responsible for guiding him to practice the Miracle Wave."
"Yes!", the subordinate nodded, and stopped talking, just accompanied the colonel to watch Zhao Hui disappear at the end of the road.
The streets are very spacious, crisscrossing and leading to all directions. Various buildings stand on both sides of the road, which looks like the layout of the fourth district. However, there is more ancient atmosphere here and less industrial flavor.
After crossing several streets in succession, Zhao Hui walked aimlessly.
At this moment, a crisp voice interrupted his thoughts, "How about you give me a cup of coffee?"
Zhao Hui immediately withdrew his gaze that was looking around and found a cute girl standing at the entrance of the alley on the right, with short black hair in her ears and beautiful face as much as a lotus. She was wearing a beautiful maid outfit and her playful big eyes and smiled at her.
"Sorry! I..."
Zhao Hui was about to refuse, but the girl covered her mouth and changed the man's tone, "Don't you remember me?"
Zhao Hui was shocked and was stunned on the spot, "What a familiar voice!"
With a smile on his face, the girl stretched out two fingers and put them in front of her mouth, as if it was an extended bird beak, and said mysteriously: "I am a gray bird!"
"You..., gray bird?" Zhao Hui widened his eyes in disbelief, not expecting that such a cute face was hidden under the mask.
I couldn't help but feel envious and thought to myself: "She should be not as old as me? But she is thousands of times stronger than me."
"Haha! Be impressed by my beauty!" Cheng Menglan looked at Zhao Hui's dazed look and couldn't help but smile playfully, and generously stretched out her white and tender little hand and said, "My name is Cheng Menglan, you can call me Lanlan."
"Hello, my name is Zhao Hui!" Zhao Hui's face turned slightly red, and he held the white and tender little hand nervously.
"You don't need to introduce it, I've known it for a long time. Come with me!" Cheng Menglan took light steps and jumped forward to lead the way.
Heg is a cafe located in a remote street. Perhaps it was not at its peak, so there were only a few people in groups of three or three to whisper while drinking coffee in the booth.
Jingle, the crisp doorbell rang.
"Shopkeeper, we are back!" Cheng Menglan waved to a middle-aged man at the bar and said hello.
When Zhao Hui walked in, he saw the store manager at first sight. A peregrine falcon stood on the shoulder of the middle-aged man, his sharp eyes swept around from time to time, forming a strong conflict with the owner's kind smile.
"Is it Lanlan's friend? Just come and try my newly brewed coffee!"
The manager's eyes and the peregrine falcon's eyes fell on Zhao Hui almost at the same time. They were gentle and sharp, warm and cold, and at this moment they felt like they were in the double test of ice and fire.
"Thanks!"
If Cheng Menglan was not still here, Zhao Hui really wanted to turn around and leave. Now he had to bite the bullet and walk towards the bar. He smelled the smell of coffee coming, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He did not feel the feeling of disgust as before, but instead had a long-lost sweetness.
"This is..." Zhao Hui couldn't help but look up at the store manager.
"I think you should like this smell." The manager smiled meaningfully, and did not say more, but just looked at the other customers in the store quietly.
Zhao Hui gently picked up the cup and blew it, then took a sip carefully, with a look of surprise on his face, and then quickly drank the whole cup of warm coffee. He sat in the high chair with an intoxicated face, speechless for a while.
“How does it taste like?”
Cheng Menglan sat next to him at any time, holding her delicate and pretty face with her white little hands, staring at him with interest.
Zhao Hui turned his head, asked with some excitement and a little nervous, "What is this?"
"It's just ordinary coffee!" The manager smiled and took back the cup, and handed it over.
"Thank you!" Zhao Hui held the cup tightly. This cup of coffee made him recall his life as a human being, just as bitter but also intoxicating and mellow. He was mostly disgusting when he tasted it before, but this time he was very yearning for it.
The store manager slowly spoke, "Everyone is in a difficult situation and needs mutual support."
"You... are you mingling in the human world like this?" Zhao Hui's eyes became firm and he directly asked the store manager.
"Isn't this good? Live comfortably like ordinary people. We are not beasts dominated by desire, but our lifestyles are different. What's wrong?" The store manager still had a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your kindness, but this cannot be a reason for me to join the resistance front." Zhao Hui took a deep breath and smiled, "But at least it's a friend, not an enemy."
"You should understand what you will face once your identity is exposed. The stronger your strength is, the easier it is to be exposed. Don't underestimate the desires in your heart. That is the biggest enemy of people like us. You must learn to endure."
"You are right, the biggest enemy is yourself." Zhao Hui nodded in agreement, but then said confidently, "I just want to live a better life, and no one can stop me."
The store manager was stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He looked at Zhao Hui carefully again, and then said with a smile: "Boy, I heard another person say the same thing."
"Who?" Zhao Hui was curious.
"A person who has accepted my invitation." The store manager smiled bitterly, "I am old and I can't compare to you. If you have any questions, ask me! While I still remember some things, we are not enemies."
"There are indeed many questions to ask you." Zhao Hui couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard this. His doubts were about to be answered, and he felt a little nervous. He closed his eyes and sorted out his thoughts, but when he opened his eyes again, his eyes turned green. "To be honest, have you ever seen the Storm Man possess the Miracle Wave?"
"Tianling Master?" The manager trembled suddenly, and the cup in his hand almost fell off his hands and fell to the ground.
"Well! I lived a human way a few months ago, but my "sister" broke the peace. After entering the Special Administrative Region, every time I ate my opponent, I would generate an indescribable force."
"But that kind of power is short-lived, right?"
