Chapter 1843 Lies and Deception
Da! clatter!
One step, two steps!
The soles of the shoes stepped on the cracked asphalt road due to long disrepair, bringing up a light dust, flying around the trouser legs, and then dissipated silently.
While walking, Chiba Cheng looked at the poor infrastructure here, which was quite shocking.
Not to mention the narrow roads. After all, the land area is limited, and most of them are mountains and volcanoes. There are very few plains available. Just like the cattle and horses with only steel coins in their wallets, naturally they can only go to the club to communicate with young models. Go to some music to watch the visual feast.
But the problem is that the visual enjoyment has become overwhelming.
Chiba Makoto has been to so many worlds, and it is the same everywhere. There are no roads that are too spacious. In Rabbit, the main thoroughfares in the county are all standard two-way six lanes, but in this country it is not. It is extremely rare, even in prosperous metropolises, there are only a few.
There are more single-lane lanes that can be called small alleys between buildings for people and vehicles to pass. These capillary-like roads are spread throughout the city, but such narrow roads are destined not to How much attention has been paid to it? Reconstruction is something that can be expected in the future. The car that returns to China next week is more likely to sell well than this.
Not only that, there are also billboards of different sizes, shapes, and colors hanging on the buildings on both sides of these narrow roads, stacked on top of each other, making the already narrow airspace , became even smaller, blocking the sunlight, making it look very dim even during the day.
And Qianye Cheng, Daichi and Taiga, walked through such a small alley that could almost be said to block out the sky. Not to mention it was shabby, but it was also repaired.
On the side of the road where only one car can pass, telegraph poles pop up from time to time, occupying the already small space. People often have to stop temporarily to wait for the traffic on the road. The car passes, then goes around the telephone pole, and then continues on.
“This is a broken road!”
Chiba Makoto has complained several times. It’s really unacceptable. With such a road, even Spider-Man can’t even think of wandering around. How fast.
“Not there yet?”
Dadi looked at the Aix Terminal in his hand. In one night, he was able to operate it skillfully. He opened the electronic map in a few seconds and said: "We are already in Black Star Town. There is 1-chome ahead. The road is on the right. Turn left and you'll reach Lingfandi. The cafe is right there. "
". It sounds like we're almost there. "
Let's go anyway.
As for the car
After taking a look at the map before setting off, most of the road sections were small alleys sandwiched between such buildings and it was during the morning rush hour. Chiba Makoto gave up decisively. This thought.
With this road condition and congestion, walking is faster than driving.
This is indeed the case. I witnessed too many sausages and loudspeakers along the way.
A developed economy does not mean high quality, and high quality does not mean the absence of road rage. Once there is road rage, the whole world will look like a ghost.
“The cafe is open in such a deep place, are there really any customers?” Taiga said doubtfully. Along the way, there were fewer and fewer people and cars, and the surrounding buildings also changed from new to old. , after entering 1-chome, there are even more old houses, which are definitely more than thirty years old.
A place like this belongs to a forgotten place.
Once young people have the opportunity to leave, they will never come back, and the city's decision-makers will not invest any financial resources here. The residents are basically middle-aged and elderly people, and they may drink coffee, but the frequency will never be high. This is probably why coffee shops sell alcohol.
“It’s just because it’s abnormal that it seems normal.”
“Huh?”
“What do you mean?”
Chiba Makoto’s words, let The other two people had question marks on their foreheads. They understood every word, but even one sentence was confusing.
"It means that if you are in a place like this and see a young man staying here happily, then there is a high probability that he is not normal."
As soon as Qianye Cheng finished speaking, Taiga raised his eyebrows He pointed forward and said, "Is it like that?" < br>
The two of them looked in the direction Taiga pointed, and saw a well-dressed man walking leisurely on a street that was called historical at best and dilapidated at worst, with a hand in his hand. He was holding a bottle of sparkling water and was pouring it into his mouth with his head raised.
Then he heard Taiga's voice, turned his head subconsciously, saw the three people standing on the road at a glance, and immediately recognized the one in the front -
Chiba Makoto !
His lazy expression instantly turned to panic, then he dropped the sparkling water he had just taken a sip from, turned around and ran away, as if he had seen something scary.
“.”
Taiga’s hand was still pointing, but the person he was pointing at ran away as fast as he could. Taiga blinked, and then looked at him innocently. He pointed at Chiba Makoto, which was like saying: "I just pointed at him, really just pointed at him, and didn't do anything else."
Chiba Makoto shrugged and said: " Let’s go, we’re there.”
Yes, we’re there.
Not only Chiba Makoto and the others were there, but the man who was so frightened by Taiga's finger that he ran away was also there. He ran with all his strength and opened the coffee shop called 'Black Star' almost in a collision. He opened the door and shouted breathlessly: "No, no, okay, he's coming after me."
The door hit The loud noise made a man with a shiny head and a beard on his lips who was standing at the bar grinding coffee by hand turned his head and said with a smile: "Kai, don't be anxious, speak slowly, the weather is temporarily If it doesn’t collapse, come on, let’s have a cup of coffee first, it’s freshly brewed and tastes just right.”
Phew! call! call!
The man known as Kai breathed heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead, but he didn't bother to take the coffee cup that was handed to him, and said anxiously: "Blake, I just saw that Guy."
Seeing that Kai didn't take the coffee cup, the man named Blake drank it himself and said slowly and logically: "Who is it?"
"The one who snatched the Palaji gem from my hand."
Before Kai finished speaking, Blake suddenly turned his head, and his face that was smiling just now turned extremely serious, and said: "Are you sure?"
"Well, it's him." Kai nodded and then Then he added: "I won't forget it."
"That's great." Blake grinned, showing what should be considered a ferocious smile, and said to himself: "Finally I can get it. Here’s the key.”
“Huh?”
A question mark popped up on Kai's head, and he looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Blake in confusion. The store manager had always been affable and always smiling, so why did he suddenly become like a villain.
But the store manager's expression soon returned, and the smile took over his face again, but the smile looked a bit cold, and a bit...
"Fake!"
This very rude word came to Kai's mind.
How could it be fake?
I have been with the store manager for so long, and he has always been very nice. He is definitely a kind person. How could he be fake?
Kai didn’t understand, and before he could figure it out, the store manager had put down the coffee cup in his hand and ground the coffee again. While grinding, he said: "Kai, come to the door to greet the guest."< br>
"Huh?" Kai was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who it was and said worriedly: "The store manager!"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
The store manager continued to grind coffee slowly and methodically, with a smile on his face. As usual, he was calm and peaceful, unhurried, unhurried and unhurried. Although he didn't know where the store manager's confidence came from, Kai still chose to obey because of his trust, so he got up and went to the door. Before he reached it, the door was dark, with one person in front and two people behind. Already walked in.
"Welcome!"
The store manager skillfully said this sentence that is repeated many times every day, and said with a Hexi smile: " Do you need anything? ”
“.”
Accident!
I thought it was a shabby place, but the decoration inside was unexpectedly exquisite. Although it has nothing to do with luxury, at first glance, it was carefully decorated and quite aesthetically pleasing.
“It’s very good.”
“I didn’t expect that there is such a treasure shop hidden in this place.”
Dadi and Taiga admired sincerely. What comes is the smile of the shop owner who is happy to be recognized and appreciated.
"Yes, every bit here is carefully arranged by me, and everything is made by myself." The store manager has ground the coffee, poured it into the copper pot, put it on the stove and roasted it. During this process, he kept saying: "You are very discerning. Do you want to try our most popular Noba coffee?"
"It's very fragrant."
"Let's have a drink."
Dadi and Taiga smelled the aroma emanating from the copper pot. It was the delicious taste of caffeine, which stimulated their taste buds and couldn't help but swallow. Swallowing his saliva, his brain was affected by this and issued the 'desire' command, so he stretched out his hand to catch the handed coffee cup.
Then——
A not-so-white hand waved over from the side, fanned the two cups of coffee that were about to be handed over, and poured them on the ground, stirring up the smoke.
It just doesn’t have the fragrance anymore.
“Huh?”
Daichi and Taiga still maintained the posture of stretching out their hands, but they all turned their heads to look at Chiba Makoto, who knocked over two cups of coffee with a slap, with a look in their eyes. He was confused and didn't understand why Qianye Cheng did this.
It’s just coffee, why aren’t you allowed to drink it?
Chiba Makoto did not explain. After the coffee cup fell to the ground and broke with a crisp sound, he looked directly at the store manager with a frozen smile on his face and said: "Put away your tricks."
The store manager's face His smile completely disappeared, and his tone also changed, saying: "It seems that you are not here to taste the delicious food."
"Delicious food? I can't bear it. ." Chiba Cheng sat down, facing the store manager, only half a meter away, and said: "I don't want to be your Noba's delicacy yet."
"Heh, You actually discovered it.”
“You are too obvious. It seems that no one has exposed you for a long time, so you are so fake.”
"Yes, you are still the first."
"There is no way, there are always few smart people."
"."
"???"< br>
If this was a comic, then the three people, including Kai, would definitely have question marks on their foreheads like crazy. They knew what every word in this conversation meant, but when put together it was incomprehensible.
At this moment, the three people's thoughts resonated, and they all came up with the same idea: What does it mean?
"It means that the store manager opened the cafe in such a remote place not because the rent is cheap or other reasons, but because it is convenient." Chiba Makoto turned around and placed it. There was a fruit knife on the bar. Looking at the store manager, he said to the three people behind him: "This guy's coffee can make people fall into a deep sleep. Even the people in the universe can't resist it. After falling asleep, Just swallow."
When the last syllable fell, Chiba Cheng also caught the fruit knife that was thrown up and then dropped, and then swung his wrist to one side under the pull of his muscles, giving him strong strength. The flying knife was so fast that it was like a ray of silver light. It covered a distance of more than ten meters in an instant and came to a very common and inconspicuous red sunny doll hanging on the window.
If everything is normal, this knife can definitely tear open the cloth easily, pierce the sunny doll, and scatter into several pieces falling from the air.
However, this sunny doll itself is not normal.
When the flying knife was about to hit it, it opened its mouth "weirdly", allowing the flying knife to sink into it and disappear.
Obviously it is only three to four centimeters in diameter, but a flying knife of one to twenty centimeters has disappeared.
This.
This is so abnormal.
Taija and Dadi's eyes widened, and then they realized something was wrong. The regrets about spilling the coffee before instantly turned into vigilance.
The store manager's expression became distorted and his expression became ferocious. He glared at Chiba Makoto with a vicious look and said, "You succeeded in irritating me."
"Uh-huh, I did it on purpose." Chiba Cheng had already stood up, but no longer looked at the store manager. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the window.
The red Sunny Doll, which was originally suspended by a thin thread, is now floating out of thin air. The red cloth under the round head seems to be blown by a blower, floating up and down, and the originally empty eyes are At this moment, a red light like blood emerged, swallowing the fruit knife's mouth, opening it wide, and making sharp noises from it.
Dadi, Kai and even Taiga couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their ears to block the increasingly intense noise. There was also a look of pain on their faces, but Chiba stood at the front. Cheng, on the other hand, remained calm. Not only was he not affected at all, he even raised his hand to pick up the stool he was just sitting on, and then smashed it towards the sunny doll.
The Sunny Day doll floated to one side, avoiding the stool, and let the wooden stool hit the window. With a "crash" sound, the glass shattered, and the Sunny Day doll also flew from the broken window. Got out.
"It ran away!"
Taiga blurted out.
"No, it just doesn't want to destroy this cafe." Chiba Makoto said, turned and walked towards the door. Daichi and Taiga quickly followed, while Kai looked at the empty space with dull eyes. bar counter.
The store manager is missing.
Under his gaze, he suddenly disappeared.
That situation is like turning off the lights and the projection will disappear naturally.
What is going on?
Why is this happening?
Doubts echoed in Kai's mind and set off huge waves, leaving Kai at a loss.
