This is an old street in Jiushan Village, a very old commercial street, the buildings here still maintain the style of the old society, the road is a large stone for horse-drawn carriages, and rows of wooden buildings. This two-storey wood-paneled building is the shop of Lao Cai, but there are not many people still doing business here.

The street in front of the old street is a modern commercial street with a large Wowoma shopping mall, a game room, an all-night bar and KTV that will give you the anesthetic. Just across the street, that's a world of difference, of course, there are occasionally some people who like to be clean and will come to the old street to consume.

But that's only during the day, there are really not many people on the street at night, the already dim street lights are good and bad, and even the voltage is quite unstable, and many nights the street lights are flickering and dazzling. If it's night, no one will come to this street alone, and couples certainly won't take this kind of scary barra, without the slightest romantic atmosphere.

There are also often murder cases or robberies, and for a street that has been completely abandoned, such cases will not be solved by the police.

Occasionally, it's still attractive because there's a café, a quaint yet modern one with the quietness that coffee drinkers love.

This can also be said to be the only one shop left in this old street, a wooden building coffee house, there is a very peaceful feeling when you walk in, and many of the decorations in the coffee house are made of wood products like the house. The whole café looks like a romantic style of modern society, and there are many trinkets that can only be found in old society.

Just like the coffee machine on the bar, it's a handmade coffee machine, which requires the skill of the barista to grind the mellow coffee. And the café also has a nice name - Rainy Night.

Chen Xin is the owner of this coffee shop and an employee, which is the craft he inherited from his father, from selecting coffee beans, grinding coffee powder, and brewing coffee, his father taught him every step of the way. And this coffee house is also the only thing left by his deceased father. Chen Xin has a deep affection for this place, so even if many people persuade him, move to the front street and make more money with his coffee grinding skills.

But he doesn't want to, what he wants is not the amount of money, but so that people who like coffee can drink good coffee, and he firmly believes that this place will gradually get better, and more people will be willing to come back here to taste his coffee.

"Alas~" Chen Xin sighed, he didn't know how many nights it was, looking at the noisy flow of people on the street in front of him, sometimes he would wonder if his insistence was really wrong.

It's already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and there is no longer half a figure in the old street, and the damn street lamp is somehow flashing non-stop tonight. Chen Xin was already planning to close the stall, and except for a wreath shop a hundred meters away, only his coffee house was still open.

I turned off the signboard light, brought a sign in front of the store into the store, and prepared to close the door and go to sleep.

Suddenly, a stumbling figure appeared in front of Chen Xin, this person walked without the slightest sound, and he didn't even know when he was close to him. Chen Xin was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a person, he looked up at the person standing in front of him, and saw that the figure was a man. It's just that I can't see his face clearly, I don't know if it's because the street lights outside are flickering, or because his clothes are all pitch black.

"Sir, is there anything wrong with you?" Chen Xin's voice was a little trembling, just now he glanced at the old street outside, but he didn't see half a figure, how could a person suddenly appear in front of him.

"Boss, I'd like to go in and have a cup of coffee, is that okay?" The man's voice was a little ethereal, and it was a bit shrill that sounded like he was imitating someone else's speech.

Chen Xin wondered, how long has it been, and there are only a few guests who come over to drink coffee during the day, is this a jackpot tonight, how can there be guests in the middle of the night.

Puzzled, Chen Xin still replied politely: "I'm sorry, sir." We're already closed, you see, if it's convenient..."

"I want to go in and have a coffee, I'm just drinking your coffee here, and I'm not used to it anywhere else." The man didn't wait for Chen Xin to finish speaking, and then continued his speech.

Chen Xin thought to himself: I didn't expect this to be an old customer, but why does it seem like I've never seen it before?

After thinking about it, Chen Xin also let go of his scruples, and finally had a guest at night, isn't this exactly what he was looking forward to, thinking of this, Chen Xin let people into the store.

The man walked strangely, stepping on the wooden floor of the shop, and he didn't make a sound, and he still limped when he walked. The lights in the café are only enough to keep not knocking over things in the store, which is deliberately arranged by Chen Xin, in order to attract many young couples to come over and consume, and people now like this quiet and romantic atmosphere.

"What kind of coffee would you like to drink, sir?" Chen Xin walked over with a notebook, and he looked at the man's face vigorously, but he couldn't see what the person in front of him looked like.

"Please give me a cappuccino, add a c, no sugar." The man's words were very concise, except for ordering the coffee he was drinking, he was not prepared to say a word to Chen Xin.

There was no way, Chen Xin couldn't stand here all the time staring at others, he had to go back to the bar to grind coffee. As soon as his hand touched the coffee machine, he began to get serious, and that's what he loved about his job. All he wants is a cup of coffee that he brews, all with emotion.

Chen Xin's technique is very skilled, and the coffee powder has been ground during the day, otherwise the efficiency is very slow to complete each cup of coffee by hand.

Soon, the coffee was ready, and when he brought it to the man, he looked at the man's face again, and wondered what this man looked like. The man didn't move, and he didn't even see the man pick up his coffee when he walked back to the bar. Looking at him, he was just staring at the coffee in front of him, and the man sat there without making a sound, if he didn't see it, he might think that there was no one there.

Finally holding back the curiosity in his heart, Chen Xin quietly turned up the lights in the store, especially the position where the man was sitting. After adjusting the lights, Chen Xin deliberately picked up a small glass of milk and walked to the man's side.

"Sir, it's very bitter to add a C to coffee, do you want to add some milk." Chen Xin greeted politely, but walked directly to the man.

The man sat there without moving or answering him.

Chen Xin simply walked over quickly, and he lowered his head and glanced at the man sitting in the seat. Chen Xin's hairs stood up suddenly, his eyes were wide open, and the milk in his hand had fallen to the ground because of trembling. The person sitting in front of him was not a person at all, to be precise, it was a paper man.

I began to think that this person was wearing black outside, just because this paper figure was painted black all over, and his two eyes were also black eyes, and those eyes were still turning towards Chen Xin.

Chen Xin's whole body trembled, he didn't know what to do anymore, he should run, but this was his shop. Don't run, this paper man who can move and talk, I don't know what to do to him. And this will make the two feet already weak, and they can't move if they want to.

I saw that the paper man slowly stood up, he raised a painted black arm and put it on Chen Xin's shoulder, and the mouth that couldn't be opened made an unprecedented sound. "Boss, I don't like such bright lights."

Chen Xin's teeth were already standing up, he only felt that cold air could not stop penetrating his body, the hand on his shoulder was like a stuck in his neck, and his heart was almost popping out of his throat with a burst of suffocation.

He smiled when he saw the paper figure in front of him, a blood-red lip squirming, and then the paper face pressed straight towards him.

"Ah~" A miserable scream resounded through this old street.

…

The next day, Yang Jun got up from the bed and was about to go to school, these days Jiushan Academy miraculously did not have any accidents, Yang Jun also likes this kind of talk. Moreover, the Association for the Study of the Paranormal has been recognized by the school as an association, except that the school does not provide funding for the work it conducts in the same way as other associations. Even many things must be done in secret, and they are not allowed to walk around the school about anything about the first world, except of course, for the communication between internal members.

Yang Jun held a few books in his hand and was about to walk to the classroom, today is a self-study class, so it is okay not to go to class. However, he was almost moldy in his sleep in the dormitory, so he had to pick up a few books and go to the classroom to sit and flip to pass the time.

When passing by the school ground, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and stopped in front of Yang Jun.

"Heh, Yang Tian, what are you doing? Why do you look impatient, this is not like you. "That's right, the one who stopped Yang Jun was his roommate, who was also a member of the Paranormal Research Association, Yang Tian.

At this time, Yang Tian's face was anxious, he sighed, and he had a feeling that there was no way to take Yang Jun in front of him. "Something happened, can you not be in a hurry?"

"Something? What's the matter, why haven't you heard about it? As soon as he heard that something had happened, Yang Jun immediately put away his joking expression, he knew that Yang Tian would definitely not make fun of him for no reason, so he said that something must have really happened.

Yang Tian glanced around nervously, and when he saw that no one was approaching, he whispered to Yang Jun: "I also just heard Ling Xueyan tell me, she said that this incident was also caused by us, but it happened outside the school, so this rumor did not spread in the school." ”

"Off-campus? Is it also related to the first realm? Yang Jun looked at Yang Tian suspiciously.

"Well, Ling Xueyan said that she had grown up, and she heard her say that she was the owner of a coffee house, and she disappeared overnight, leaving only a paper figure at the scene. I got goosebumps all over my body when I heard it, do you think we should go and see it? ”

Yang Jun's heart was also turbulent, but he didn't expect that after only a few days of silence, the accident began to happen again, and it happened outside the school. Is it really growing like a human being? There is still something else, mobilizing the beginning of another story.
