At midnight, a cold breeze blows over the city, creating a striking contrast to the bustling city below.

Shanghai, as one of the most prosperous cities in the country, is no different from night during the day.

The fading of the sun is just the beginning of neon substitution.

The lights are always tempting in an age full of money.

And on the corner of a street called Changmeng Street, there is such a unique café.

As a 24-hour café in Shanghai, there is such a legend in the city.

When you have nightmares, come to this café called "Eternal Night", and after a cup of coffee, all the nightmares will be replaced by sweet dreams the next day.

Countless people have come here, either not believing in this legend, or with the attitude of trying. In short, none of the guests who left questioned the legend.

As a result, more and more people want to come to this small café to seek their dreams, but "Eternal Night" has its own unique rules.

That is, when you can't open the door of a café with your hands, it's a sign that you're not a guest or that you're not suffering from nightmares.

As time passed, gradually, the people of Shanghai accepted the rule that only those who have really had nightmares can get real dreams here, and replace smiles to meet the rest of life.

Midnight.

Zhou Mu looked at the quaint door of this café and slowly lit a cigarette.

The phone has been called several times, and he is obviously a brother in the past, but he is unwilling to answer his phone at this moment.

"Well, it seems that I am overconfident if I want to invite him." Zhou Mu shook his head, threw the half-burning cigarette in his hand on the ground, gently extinguished the cigarette with the tip of his shoe, and just as he was about to turn around and get into the car, the door opened.

"You're Zhou Mu, right? My boss said that he already knew about it, and although you were not very welcome, he still agreed to let you in and talk. Well, coffee, you're not qualified to drink it. ”

After Zhou Mu heard a somewhat sharp male voice, he just turned around, but rubbed his eyes vigorously.

What's that guy in front of you?

Is this a man with a bunny hood, or a big rabbit in a European-style jazz suit and a top hat?

Before Zhou Mu could speak, the rabbit on the opposite side was a little unhappy, "Hey! Whether you come in or not, it's cold, and I'll close the door if you don't come in. ”

After that, I saw that when the rabbit was about to close the door and go back to the house, Zhou Mu's hand had already blocked the door quickly.

"Come in, come in, your boss, are you waiting for me?" Zhou Mu asked tentatively, because until now, he was guessing what kind of species this rabbit was.

"Of course, if it weren't for the rush hour now, the boss wouldn't have had time to deal with you." As the rabbit spoke, he and Zhou Mu entered the café.

"Eternal Night" café, Zhou Mu is also the first time to enter it.

Rumors from the outside world have almost described the café as a dream place.

But here, the feeling brought to Zhou Mu can almost be called mediocre.

A simple wooden single table and matching seating are the perfect seating for all guests.

The decoration of the café can be described in two words, that is, "concise".

If there's one thing unique here, it's the starry sky above the ceiling.

Zhou Mu looked at the ceiling, and his expression showed a little surprise, "This wallpaper is really beautiful!" ”

"Hehe, when will you also use idioms to describe items?"

A sudden question, a familiar voice, and a familiar calmness in the tone attracted Zhou Mu's gaze back from the wallpaper on the ceiling.

I saw a man with a smile on his face, delicate facial features, and a simple black and white waiter costume walking out of the back hall wiping a coffee cup.

"Your hair is really getting more and more artistic." Zhou Mu looked at the stranger he was most familiar with, and there was a slight tremor in his tone.

"Hehe, in the past three years, the hair has indeed grown longer and longer, but it looks more temperamental when tied up, doesn't it?" The man's words sounded very plain, but the words went straight to Zhou Mu's heart.

Yes, three years have passed, and he hasn't seen this guy for three years (or rather, he doesn't want to see himself at all), how do you know what he has become now?

However, what Zhou Mu can be sure of is that this guy's eyes are still like before, they can directly see through people's hearts, and the secrets hidden in people's hearts cannot be concealed.

"By the way, although you may not see each other often in the future, I would like to briefly introduce you. Sir Rabbit, the only barista in 'Eternal Night', and this is the famous 'sheriff' in Shanghai, Zhou Mu. The man said with a smile, then put the polished coffee cup back on the table, which was starting to reflect in the dim light.

"What? The only two? Obviously the only one, right? Boss, I've been with you for so many years, tell me how many times you've brewed coffee? It's really stinky ......" Sir Rabbit looked dissatisfied, and halfway through the last adjective, he felt a chill behind him! took a casual look, but saw that the man was squinting his eyes lightly, staring at himself, "Stinky ...... This back hall seems to smell a little! I'll clean it again! That, Xiao Zhou, you feel free, hahahaha......"

With that, Sir Rabbit rushed into the back hall in a puff of smoke, for fear that the boss's anger would burn on his head.

Looking at Sir Rabbit's performance, the man obviously showed a somewhat satisfied smile.

"Don't laugh, you should know that I won't come to you if it's not the most critical." Looking at the behavior of the two people in front of him, although Zhou Mu was helpless, he still became serious and wanted to talk about some serious things.

"Hehe, this is natural, otherwise you won't be able to enter this door either." The man sat on the seat of the bar, then stretched out his hand to signal Zhou Mu to sit in front of the bar.

Seeing this, Zhou Mu had to sit down obediently.

The man casually poured a bottle of mineral water into the glass, and then put it in front of Zhou Mu, "It's really not a good hospitality, but here, you only deserve to drink this." ”

Zhou Muzi didn't care about the man's words, but drank all the white water in the cup.

When he was drinking, there seemed to be a faint fragrance wafting through his nostrils, like bathing in the fragrance of acacia flowers, elegant and clear but not rich, which made people unforgettable.

"Ai Shu, three years have passed, aren't you still willing to forgive me?" After Zhou Mu put down the glass, he looked at the eyes of the man in front of him and asked sincerely.

"Hehe, Zhou Mu, you still haven't changed, but this question, is it serious? It's better to talk about your so-called business, otherwise don't blame me for sending off guests. Ai Shufeng smiled lightly and widened the distance between the two.

"Well, that's the case, to tell you the truth, the system of the XH6 experimental base was accidentally paralyzed, and all the test subjects were lost......"

Zhou Mu's words were not finished yet, but Ai Shu had already picked up the conversation.

"I see, I'll help you retrieve those things, only one request, I want one of the thirty-six test subjects, do you have permission to agree?" Ai Shu's eyes blinked, and the bottom line in Zhou Mu's heart seemed to have been seen through.

"Well, it's up to you! But as soon as possible, or ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Ai Shu had already turned around, "Sir Rabbit, you can send off guests." ”

When Sir Rabbit heard this, he walked out of the back hall as soon as he heard it and came to Zhou Mu's side, "Xiao Zhou, please." ”

Zhou Mu looked at the figure that passed away, and the strange emotions in his pupils gradually sprouted, but in the end, he could only make a helpless gesture and leave this "Eternal Night" café.

After sending Zhou Mu away, Sir Rabbit returned to the bar, "It seems that this guy has achieved your goal?" ”

"Hehe, what's the purpose? He needs my abilities, and I need to add something to my collection. ”
