Late night café

At night, the sky was getting dark, the crowd was thinning, and the shadows that were gradually lengthening under the streetlights on both sides of the street looked weak in the night wind.

At midnight after 11 a.m., I opened the door of the café, and the dim light shrouded in the store, so peaceful and quiet.

There are no pedestrians on the bleak streets, and this lonely city can only have a moment of tranquility at night, but behind this seemingly peaceful place, there are all kinds of stories that do not see the light.

My name is Wen Qing, and this café at midnight is my livelihood. It only opens at half past eleven o'clock and closes at two o'clock in the morning, for nothing else, because the world is full of bizarre. There are very few people who come to the café at midnight, except for ordinary people who don't know its mysteries, and all who come to witness another dark side of the world. They are either mired in bizarre cases, haunted by ghostly objects, or they themselves are monsters who are hurrying between the heavens and the earth. They choose to come to my café when everything is asleep, or to ask for help, or to confide, and whatever it is, the doors of the café are graciously open for them.

At half past eleven, Ren Kai opened the door of the store and took a deep breath at the empty street.

Ren Kai is an assistant I have hired for less than two months to take care of the café chores in the evenings. In fact, he is also my assistant when dealing with all kinds of strange events. said that he was an assistant, but he had no actual combat experience, and he was full of enthusiasm to defeat the darkness, but he was just a young boy who had never seen any scenes.

Ren Kai was dangling around and couldn't rest down, I knew that he was frustrated because there had been no strange events in the past few days, and I asked him to make coffee because he was an eyesore, and he could only leave in a huff even if he was reluctant.

Just as Ren Kai was brewing coffee, the door of the store was gently pushed open, and the cold wind disturbed the crisp sound of the wind chimes.

It was an ordinary woman about 30 years old, with ordinary makeup, ordinary clothes, and even her expression was so ordinary that she couldn't see anything unusual.

Instead of choosing a coffee table, she went straight to the counter, asked for an espresso, and sat down quietly. I wondered how I could ask her about it, but before I could do so, she suddenly said, "Can you save me?" ”

The woman in front of me looked desperate, her eyes staring at me, as if she was struggling with all her strength and not letting go of this only life-saving straw. I was surprised and calmly asked her what had happened.

The woman's face was embarrassed, as if she was afraid to tell her situation: "My name is Shen Jing, I know that they all call you Mr. Wen, saying that you have great powers in dealing with dark things, I beg you to save me, I, I feel that my body is slowly changing, and I am gradually turning into a worm." ”

"Bugs?" Ren Kai, who had been squatting aside and eavesdropping, couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I don't know when, my body seemed to be getting more and more out of my control, it was slowly getting softer, the bones seemed to be melting little by little, and disgusting hairs began to grow on my back, prickly, spiky. To make matters worse, I now have sour water in my mouth from time to time, spitting out white filaments. ”

As I listened to her statement, I had to admit how unbelievable what she said, as if she was talking about how a person gradually becomes a silkworm baby. Everyone will have made up nightmares in their childhood, they will not be realized but they are constantly scared of themselves, people become insects is the nightmare I fantasized about when I was a child, fantasizing about people step by step from the human body to a soft wriggling body, what a terrible thing, but no matter how terrible it is, it will only be a fantasy after all, and now, there is a woman sitting in front of you and telling you seriously about your fantasy nightmare, inexplicably, I actually feel a little oozing panic.

I asked her if she could show me her body, and she was a little shy but agreed.

I left Ren Kai in the shop to make coffee, and I went with her to the house on the second floor.

The moment she undressed, my surprise was palpable. What a body that is! Her upper body is one and a half times as long as an ordinary person, and her body proportions are extremely uncoordinated, which can be described as terrifying, and her back is densely covered with cyan hair spikes, which seem hard but soft.

"That's all there is to it for now, right?" I kept my composure. She replied yes.

We were back on the first floor, and the coffee was still steaming. I started asking her about strange things she hadn't noticed in a while, but the reply was no. All the changes in her body could not be answered, even if it was only a small clue.

She kept asking me if I could save her, and I said yes. In any case, such victims should not be allowed to give up hope until the matter is clear. After repeated repetitions, she left, leaving me alone in the silence of the café.

Ren Kai hurriedly ran over: "Do you really have a way to cure her?" A look of disbelief.

"No," I didn't have the slightest clue as to how I could help her, "I'm just reassuring her first, and we'll have to find our own solution." Aren't you always bored? Now there's a strange thing waiting for you to solve, how about it, happy? "I don't forget to sarcastically mock Ren Kai.

Ren Kai pursed his lips and looked at me dissatisfied. Do you have a clue? He asked me.

"Yes. Do you know about parasites? ”

"Yes. But she's not like this. Ren Kai immediately said the undesirable of this conjecture.

"Well, generally speaking, what the parasite changes in the human body is only a certain characteristic of the person, and it will not have a complete effect on the person, and what she does is already the entire change of the species. The moment I saw her body, my first reaction was that her body was occupied by a worm, and one day that worm would tear her body apart and take her place. ”

I shook the small needle in Ren Kai's hand, it was a blood sample I secretly took when Shen Jing was dressing, and I decided to start with this drop of blood to find clues.

When I went upstairs, I went into the workshop and put the blood sample under a microscope to look at it, but I was even more surprised by what was being displayed on the computer.

The next day, I hurriedly woke Ren Kai, who was reluctantly woken up with squinted eyes. "You go to find out Shen Jing's information and her residence, and monitor her changes in the next few days, and you can't leave a moment behind." Ren Kai was frightened by my momentum and hurriedly asked what new discoveries were made yesterday.

I copied the information into the tablet and gave it to Ren Kai for him to see, and gradually his eyes straightened: "You mean, you mean, the cells and tissues in Shen Jing's body are slowly being fused by the worms?" "Well, I nodded, it's no longer a matter of the insect somatic cells fusing with her cells, judging from the cell observation, the cells in Shen Jing's body are no longer like human cells, they are weird cells that are more inclined to insects, I am worried that Shen Jing's body will completely become a worm in a few days.

Unable to find the reason for this series of changes for the time being, I can only let Ren Kai observe Shen Jing's dynamics first, and buy some time for the other self.

Ren Kai's observation was three days, and he ate and drank in the small park next to Shen Jing's house every day, and even so, there was still no information he brought me.

Shen Jing came to me by herself on the fourth day, and without Ren Kai's voyeurism, Shen Jing presented the changes in front of my eyes. Shen Jing, who hadn't seen her for four days, was even more depressed, her hair was loose and fluffy, and her face was not as reluctant to wear light makeup as she was when she first came, her face was blue-green at the moment, and there was even a kind of sickly puffiness.

She offered to show me the changes in her body, and I was even more surprised to see her.

She wears a slender coat that reaches to the base of her calves. Taking off her coat, it was her two thighs that had been completely glued together, like a mermaid without a gap. Oh my God, what sick legs these are, I thought to myself. What's even more terrifying is the change in her upper body. She gently took off her underwear in front of me, and her back was still densely covered with green burrs, and in front, her once tall breasts were almost deflated, and there were similar **-like objects below the chest and up to the thighs, but the difference was that those similar ** had tentacle-like things, which were not prominent or big, and only grew on the ** things one by one.

The second I saw the phenomenon in front of me, I unconsciously thought of the caterpillar's more than how many tentacles crawled slowly at the front of its body.

This time the shock was stronger than I had imagined, and it was much more disgusting to face such a body than to face a corpse. But out of respect, I didn't show it, and still put on a calm and breezy expression.

"Mr. Wen, help me, I'm no longer human." And she said to me, yes.

"There will be a way." All I can say is that in fact I can't come up with any reliable measures.

Shen Jing had a despair that could not be concealed after leaving this time, and I felt pity from the bottom of my heart, I was the only person she thought could save her, but I didn't seem to be able to do anything in front of the facts.

When she was sent out, she turned around and signaled that she didn't need to send it. The door closed, but I was not calm, for some reason, I felt that in addition to the depression that could not be hidden on Shen Jing's face, I seemed to see a strange sneering expression, like excitement, excitement, success and joy, the expression was fleeting, and quickly made me doubt my eyesight. How so? I muttered to myself, what a desperate person. I can't figure it out.

The day after Shen left, Ren Kai sent a text message saying that he saw a strange man enter Shen Jing's house, and the key was still at night, and he didn't come out until the next day. Ren Kai felt that something was wrong, and people at this time would never forget it, so he notified me as soon as possible.

When I rushed over, Ren Kai's appearance startled me: "Isn't it 5 or 6 days, how can you toss yourself into this ghost." Ren Kaipeng in front of him was dirty, his beard was unshaven, and there was a faint smell of sweat. I hated it. "Why don't you send you so that I don't pay attention to her for a moment? I don't even dare to stay in a hotel, every day in this broken park, you still hate it. ”

I didn't have anything to say, so I took the telescope in Ren Kai's hand and looked at it from afar. It's a pity that the curtains of Shen Jing's house are tightly drawn, and it is impossible to see it.

"Are you sure a man went in?" I asked him. "100% sure!"

Since I couldn't see anything, I chose to buy all kinds of food for Ren Kai, and went back after telling him to continue to keep an eye on him.

I was busy studying Shen Jing's cells and consulting various books at home and abroad, but I was helpless but at a loss.

Ren Kai lived up to expectations and reported the new results on the tenth day, and he called: "Boss, something is wrong, the last time I saw the man, it seems that he hasn't come out since he went in." ”

As soon as I heard this, I hung up the phone, picked up my things, and went to the place where Shen Jing lived.

Ren Kai was even more haggard than four days ago, and his eyes also had obvious dark circles. "You don't have to fight so hard," I complained to him, "go, come in with me." ”

Saying that, I pulled the confused Ren Kai to Shen Jing's house, Shen Jing lived on the second floor, and it was easy to arrive. Ren Kai still didn't understand what to do, so I didn't bother to explain it to him, and motioned for him to knock on the door.

Unexpectedly, no one opened the door after knocking for a long time. I turned and knocked on my next door's door, and he answered. I lied that we were the next door tenant and forgot to bring the key so I had to borrow a passage from my neighbor's house and climb over the balcony. The neighbor agreed, but it was only the 2nd floor, so it was not too dangerous.

I flipped over first, Ren Kai followed closely, fortunately, the window of Shen Jing's house was not closed tightly, and I pried it open with a little force.

Ren Kai who entered the room was much more stimulated than me, and in the living room, a naked and mutilated man's corpse lay horizontally, and the smell of corpses had begun to stench after a long time. It's still a good adjective to say that he is mutilated, it is a kind of torture for those who see him, the corpse has traces of gnawing from the head, the entire head has been gnawed away, followed by the torso and limbs, the arm has been gnawed off, the body has long been mutilated, and the blood is everywhere, but what is even more disgusting is that the blood is not bright red, but the familiar turquoise, yes, it is the color that changes on Shen Jing's body. The thick green liquid was everywhere, and it didn't pass the corpses, staining the furniture. Ren Kai couldn't help but start retching, I forcibly restrained myself and stepped forward to shake the corpse, yes, just like I imagined, the dead man was also wormed, the burrs wet with blood, the glued legs and the tentacles in front of the body were simply the same as the changes in Shen Jing I had seen before.

Ren Kai kept asking me what was going on, and I said that I would explain to him later, and finding Shen Jing now was the key.

When I opened the door of Shen Jing's room, Ren Kai vomited directly, and the vomit splashed on the edge of my shoes, but I could understand it completely.

Lying on the bed, you can vaguely identify the former Shen Jing, but those changes are more prominent, or they have taken shape. Shen Jing in front of him was also naked without a trace of clothing, and there were about six or seven tentacles on one side of his body, and there were more than a dozen symmetrical divisions. The legs are perfectly glued together, and the tentacles extend to the ankles. And her face, which is not an exaggeration to describe it beyond recognition, with eight eyes symmetrically scattered across her face, not human eyes, but spider's eyes.

Yes, Shen Jing in front of her is completely adult.

The corners of Shen Jing's mouth showed a look of joy that I once thought was wrong, that was the expression of great joy that would only come from, what was she happy about?

Shen Jing, who noticed our arrival, had a hideous expression, well, if it could still be called an expression.

"Do you still recognize us?" I tried to talk to Shen Jing in front of me, but at this time I couldn't confirm whether she still had a human mind.

Apparently not. Shen Jing took the posture of an attacker and began to curl up, ready to pounce at any time.

As soon as Ren Kai finished vomiting and raised his head, he was pounced on by the naked Shen Jing. "What the hell is this?" Shen Jing reached the tentacles and clinged to Ren Kai, and Ren Kai pulled her down while holding back from vomiting.

Seeing that Shen Jing was about to open her mouth to bite Ren Kai, I picked up the lamp on the side and slammed it down. Shen Jing turned her head and stared at me with eight eyes. I realized that this was not the solution, because the moment I smashed it, I felt a soft texture, and I imagined how hard it would take to smash a huge mollusk to smash her into blood. Obviously, this method can't deal with the huge Shen Jing.

Ren Kai kept shouting to kill her. I took out the weapon and insecticide I had prepared in advance from my bag, and sprayed the whole tank at Shen Jing.

Shen Jing, no, now it should be said that the huge worm fell to the ground and writhed in pain, blue-green blood flowed from the corners of the mouth and all over the body, and the body began to twitch violently, wriggling and rolling on the ground repeatedly, gradually, the blood loss hollowed out her body, and she died shriveled.

Ren Kai waited until she was dead before daring to approach. He still had the urge to retch, and asked me what was going on while nauseous.

I wiped my hands and resealed the insecticide. "Remember the second time Shen Jing came to my café? I also secretly took a blood sample of her that time, and what was detected was not a human cell at all, in other words, Shen Jing was already a worm at that time, maybe she was a worm that still retains human consciousness to some extent at that time. At that time, I saw her strange expression and guessed that something might happen, just in case I did a series of experiments on the cells, and the results were satisfactory, she was as afraid of chemical weapons as a normal worm. As I spoke, I shook the insecticide in my hand.

"You knew something was wrong then? Then why didn't you come up with a way to save her? Ren Kai asked.

"I'm not omnipotent, and I can't do anything about what she's changing, so I can only choose to deal with the worst, and thankfully I didn't make it worse. I'm afraid that I will have an unrelieved sense of guilt for Shen Jing in this life, after all, I couldn't save her. I looked down at Shen Jing on the ground like a puddle of mud and sighed sadly.

Ren Kai didn't speak, and after a long time, he asked, "What happened to that man?" "As soon as he reminded me, I remembered that I still had unfinished business.

"That man I paid attention after you informed me, I looked at his information, and he was as ordinary and non-anomalous as Shen Jing, but I can be sure that he is unusual, because they had nothing to do with each other before this. The only explanation is that they are one kind. What can men, women, and males do living in the same room? ”

"You mean......" Ren Kai suddenly realized.

"That's right, they're mating and breeding, and the corpse is the best proof of this, the female has no food after mating, and because she can't travel because she is pregnant, she cruelly eats the male."

"It's horrible." Ren Kai couldn't help but sigh.

"But......" I hesitated.

"But what?"

"The dead Shen Jing didn't find out that she was pregnant, the larvae of the worm should be formed or born soon? Unless ......"

"Unless, the larvae have already been born." This time, Ren Kai was so smart that he thought of it.

I took out my bag of unused insecticide and searched the room carefully, and finally, I found the little larvae in the corner of the bathroom. In view of Ren Kai and his pale appearance, I didn't let him in, and I directly opened the spray and sprayed them fiercely. The larvae rolled and wriggled, and their white skin began to glow with white blood. Soon, they dissolved into a mass and died tragically at my hands.

On the way back, Ren Kai still held the sanitary bag uneasily, for fear that he would vomit in the car if he didn't pay attention.

"Can this find out the cause of this? You must know that this is not an isolated case, the appearance of that man means that there are other such insect people in this world, they are suffering from unbelievable pain, and most importantly, they are in danger of harming people after becoming insects. ”

"Aren't you still afraid of being attacked by them? But there are so many strange things in the world, and I can't solve them one by one. If there are clues, I'm better than the episode, and if I can't find it, I can't be stronger. Let's go, it's almost 11 o'clock and the café is about to open. I urged Ren Kai, "Also, can you bear it a little in the future?" I don't like to take you out, it's too embarrassing for me, and you'll just vomit after the whole scene. ”

"Who can look at it, it's all worms, okay?" Ren Kai didn't forget to defend himself, but when he mentioned the worm, he couldn't stop throwing up.

"Go on?" I laughed.

It's dark again, and there are still countless mysteries in the world waiting for us to explore, and we may not be able to solve all of them, but we have a heart that is eager to explore. There are many people who are confused, if you see a café open on the street at midnight, don't hesitate to go in and drink a cup of warm coffee, and the dark things will always fade.
