The back kitchen is very dark, really very dark, and when you enter such a dark place, you should turn on the lights, but from Ling Menglan to a few steps forward, the owner has no intention of turning on the lights.

People often feel scared in the dark, and Ling Menglan, who walked a few steps, did not dare to continue because of the darkness, but the shopkeeper behind said at this time: "Don't worry, there is nothing here, don't worry about being hit by something." ”

Since the shopkeeper had promised like this, Ling Menglan could only be bold enough to continue to move forward, and after really taking a few steps, Ling Menglan really believed the shopkeeper's words.

There's really nothing here.

It's pretty safe.

It's safe, but it's strange to be in the dark. Although Ling Menglan followed the owner's wishes and walked forward, she still couldn't help asking.

"Where is the mother?"

"Just a little further on."

The size of the café is not very large, but the kitchen is surprisingly large. Ling Menglan was not familiar with this place, and the pace under her feet was naturally slow, and the familiar shopkeeper had already walked in front of her, only to hear a squeak as if another door was opened, and the shopkeeper then said.

"It's inside."

What kind of mother should be hidden so deeply. Ling Menglan walked to the outside of the door, but she didn't dare to step in the last step of the entrance.

Why is it planted in such a place, and why is such a mother hiding in such a place. At this time, Ling Menglan could be regarded as remembering to think about such a thing, her irritability and restlessness were particularly obvious, and the shopkeeper could also see it. Because he saw it, the shopkeeper said softly and comfortingly.

"Don't worry about going in, just look at the mother's body, don't worry. Besides, don't you want to see what the parent body that produces that kind of coffee bean looks like? ”

If you don't want to know, how can you not want to know. Probably because of an obsession with the coffee beans in her heart, Ling Menglan finally walked in.

After a few steps forward, the shopkeeper followed her in. I closed the door with my hand, only to hear the sound of the door shut, followed by a "pop".

The lights are on.

had been in the dark for a long time, and the sudden light turned on made Ling Menglan unable to adapt to it. Because of this sudden light, Ling Menglan, who felt dazzling, subconsciously raised his hand to block the dazzling light.

Only after the eyes had adjusted slightly did she squint and look around.

It was a room, a room that looked a little big but empty, and the room was empty at first glance, empty and not even the most basic furniture.

This is not a place to live, at the beginning, this was Ling Menglan's first thought, but soon she understood.

This is indeed not a place to live.

When her eyes began to adjust to the light in the room, Ling Menglan saw the only thing in the room.

That's a plant.

To be precise, it doesn't look like a plant. For it looked like it was about to dry up, and the dry branches looked as if they could be broken with a single hand, although there were still a few coffee beans on the branches that looked like dark red. But the sleekness of the plant shows that the plant has reached its end of life.

The dry plant surprised Ling Menglan, but when everything was clear, the surprise immediately turned into horror.

The plants, the plants that live here, look like they're going to wither. But under the withered plant, through the dry branches, Ling Menglan actually saw a person.

It was a man, a man lying among the branches. Although this branch was still quite lush, because it had dried up, Ling Menglan could still clearly see that these branches had grown from that person's body. It either comes out of the mouth or through the nostrils of the ears. As long as the human body is even a tiny hole, this thing will grow out of that hole.

It's weird, it's too weird. And what Ling Menglan was even more afraid of was that the person was still alive. Although she couldn't hear her voice and couldn't see her moving, Ling Menglan still saw it, the slightly panting chest.

This person is still alive.

At this time, Ling Menglan was so frightened that she couldn't move, so she just stood there and watched the tragic situation of that person.

Such a terrifying thing was of course terrifying for Ling Menglan, but for the owner of this coffee shop.

But it's a very beautiful existence.

Walking past Ling Menglan, he stepped forward and squatted down in front of a dry plant, and the shopkeeper said, "Don't you think you're surprised?" ”

Surprised, how could it be surprised, she was almost stunned by such a scene in front of her.

didn't answer, Ling Menglan didn't know how to answer, but it didn't matter whether she answered or not, she just glanced at her with a smile, and then the shopkeeper's eyes moved to the top of the plant, stretched out his hand and reached in, gently stroking the person who still had a breath inside, the shopkeeper said.

"This is the mother of some of my coffee beans, how is it, isn't it very beautiful."

Laughing and saying such terrifying words, it makes people's hearts tremble.

The hand that touched the man's face kept caressing, and the shopkeeper looked at him with a gentle look as he continued, "It's beautiful, don't you think it's beautiful?" It's a pity that this beautiful thing doesn't last long, you see, it's going to wither so soon. ”

Laughing and saying this, the hand that had been caressing his face suddenly moved to the rest of the man's body for some reason, and grabbed the flesh that had no food to grow.

A bloodstain was revealed, and the flesh and skin bloomed under the bloodstain, and at that moment, a branch grew rapidly out of it. The branches grew very fast and very thick. Unfortunately, this new growth is not fresh, but dry.

Looking at the newly grown branches with pity, the shopkeeper said sadly, "Is it really not good?" Is this going to be a death? ”

I don't know if it's against the plant, or at the person under the plant, the shopkeeper said something like this. But no matter which one it is, it is terrifying for Ling Menglan now.

Especially when she heard the shopkeeper affectionately say, "It's good to find a new mother", Ling Menglan realized that something was wrong.

She's got to get out of here, she has to get out of here anyway. With this thought in her heart, Ling Menglan turned around and rushed to the door directly regardless of the others, and was about to open the door and rush out.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open this door, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open this door, Ling Menglan immediately realized.

I was locked in the door by the owner.

If you want to get out of here, you can't get the key. Ling Menglan, who didn't believe in evil, kept banging on this door with her body, but the girl's strength was useless in front of this door. Panicked, she could only pull on the door and look around to see if there was another way out.

In order to escape for his life, Ling Menglan naturally kept crashing, and the sound made attracted the shopkeeper to look here. Looking at Ling Menglan, who kept banging the door with his body, the shopkeeper asked.

"Are you looking for this?"

The voice of inquiry sucked Ling Menglan's gaze, and after seeing the key in the shopkeeper's hand, Ling Menglan seemed to see hope, but soon, she witnessed what it means to turn from hope to despair.

The key, the key to the locked door, is in the owner's hand. But it was only in her hand for a moment. After questioning Ling Menglan, the shopkeeper actually swallowed the key in front of her.

Such a key, a key made of metal, she swallowed it so indifferently. Ling Menglan was shocked at that moment, she couldn't believe her eyes.

The throat moved, and the key was swallowed by the shopkeeper, looking at Ling Menglan, the shopkeeper said, "It's a pity, I can't give you this key." ”

Obviously, it was still like that, but Ling Menglan's body trembled when she heard it. The shopkeeper who swallowed the key did not squat there, but got up and walked slowly towards Ling Menglan. She didn't walk fast, step by step, but every step was like stepping on Ling Menglan's heart.

It's scary.

Standing there and not daring to move, Ling Menglan could only stand there stiffly, swallowing his saliva and asking, "You, what do you want to do?" ”

"Don't you know what I want to do?" Laughing at this, the shopkeeper suddenly stopped moving forward and stood there and asked.

Rhetorical questioning, Ling Menglan has always disliked rhetorical questions, because she always felt that the rhetorical questions were largely teasing. It was the same now, the shopkeeper's words did sound uncomfortable to her, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Because fear frightens her more than discomfort.

Swallowing his saliva with difficulty, Ling Menglan's gaze couldn't help but fall on the man. Just now, the man who had endured such pain finally smoked. Not in the heaving chest, the man just breathed at the last moment.

What Ling Menglan was looking at, the shopkeeper could see it, followed her line of sight and glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and after glancing, the shopkeeper asked, "Do you want to know who he is?" ”

It doesn't matter to Ling Menglan who that person is, the only thing that can be related to Ling Menglan is that she is now in this room like that person. And in the current situation, if you don't get out of here quickly, you can't imagine that you will become like that.

For the danger she was about to face, Ling Menglan had some far stronger perception than ordinary people. With her back to the door and her hands on the doorknob, Ling Menglan wanted to try if there was a chance to escape.

Ling Menglan's movements, because her body blocked it, the shopkeeper didn't see it, but even if she saw it, she wouldn't care about it.

How can someone who doesn't have a key escape from here?

No longer paying attention to Ling Menglan, but once again shifted his attention to the shriveled corpse that had already swallowed his breath, and the shopkeeper said with a smile: "Little girl, do you know? I paid attention to you the first time I saw you. Because you gave me the impression that you really felt like that person. ”

Saying this, the shopkeeper turned his gaze back to Ling Menglan, and she didn't know which sentence made her excited, this time looking at Ling Menglan's eyes there was a trace of unknown excitement.

She paid attention to herself at first glance, how could Ling Menglan know such a thing, did not answer but gritted her teeth, Ling Menglan looked at the shopkeeper vigilantly.

That kind of vigilance could not deter the shopkeeper, so he ignored it and continued: "At that time, I thought that if such similar people could also become mothers together, then the coffee beans that grew would be extremely attractive. ”

When Ling Menglan first entered this coffee shop, among the customers who came and went, the owner remembered her at first glance. Because of Ling Menglan's arrival, she obviously felt the crazy growth of this mother planted in the back kitchen, and the faster the mother's growth, the more coffee beans it produced.

And when the coffee beans reach a certain amount, it is the beginning of the decline of the parent body.

When it falls, it will soon face death. At that time, she just paid attention to Ling Menglan's shopkeeper and didn't notice anything, but when Ling Menglan showed her extreme love for coffee, she knew.

A new matrix has been created without its knowledge.

The parent is not an ordinary plant, it is more of a parasite than a plant to the owner. When it realizes that its life is short, it will begin to look for the next suitable mother.

The mother body is not easy to find, and as far as past experience is concerned, this time the mother body should not decay so early, and I don't know if Ling Menglan is too tempting for it, in order to get this new mother, it does not hesitate to squeeze the previous one in advance.

The mother body decayed so quickly, although the owner also felt a little pity. But more than a pity, at this time she was more curious about the new matrix that it was so fond of.

What kind of magic does this schoolgirl have? Why is it so obsessed?

Anyway, she was tired of seeing the previous mother, and she changed to a new one, and she also wanted to see what was so special about this new one.
