The "Red Romance" in front of Gu Yuan was not an informal place, but a cafe located on Xingmin Road in the old city.
The consumption level in Star City is not high. It is a city with a relatively slow pace of life. There are not that many people who like to pursue petty bourgeoisie, and there are not many coffee shops.
The entrance to the Red Romantic Cafe is even more deserted. Although Gu Yuan has never been there, he has heard that the prices here are insanely expensive, a cup of Blue Mountain coffee costs 499.
There was once a man who was not afraid of death. He insisted on experiencing the taste of five hundred yuan coffee. At least it had to be hand-ground Blue Mountain specialty coffee beans, right?
Until, he saw the clerk take out a pack of Nestlé Instant...
Why did Gu Yuan know?
Because the customer chose to report it to the official, it happened that the second uncle came to handle it.
At that time, the second uncle was quite curious about this. He felt that there was something wrong with this cafe. It took up such a big place, but it didn't look like a business at all. There were only a few customers. After all, Star City didn't have that many big grievances. The second uncle also specifically applied to investigate the Red Romantic Cafe, suspecting that there were some unfair transactions, but he was beaten back later, and he didn't know what happened. After that, he never heard the second uncle mention this matter.
Now we can find the answer.
This red romantic cafe is actually the branch of the Demon Suppression Division in Haicheng!
Looking at it this way, it makes sense.
Because of the special nature of the Demon Suppression Department, the second uncle was naturally unable to investigate. The reason why the coffee is expensive is because this cafe is just a deception. If high quality and low prices are full of pitfalls, then there will be real trouble.
"Why are you standing there stupidly? Let's go in." Zhou Zhen patted Gu Yuan's shoulder, still looking very casual.
Gu Yuan was still immersed in shock.
Ge Fei opened the door. There was a string of wind chimes hanging on the glass door, but when the door was pushed open, the wind chimes made no sound.
Seeing Gu Yuan looking up with curiosity in his eyes, Zhou Zhen said with a smile: "Don't look at it, this wind chime usually doesn't ring."
"Is it broken?"
"Of course not." Zhou Zhen said, "You will know later."
Gu Yuan was confused.
Following Zhou Zhen and Ge Fei into the cafe, a lazy voice came from the bar: "Welcome."
"What's welcome, it's me."
The girl sitting at the bar raised her head and immediately cheered up when she saw Ge Fei and Zhou Zhen.
"Sister Fei! You are back!"
The girl looked young, with a fluffy bun and light bangs that were buttoned over the eyebrows. She looked loose and loose, adding a bit of childishness. Her skin was very white. Gu Yuan felt that, Even if he had been dead for three days, he would not be so white.
She was wearing a black and white matching skirt, which should have been added with bustles, as if she was the popular Lolita at the moment. On her feet was a pair of small black leather shoes, and white socks wrapped around her slender calves.
Zhou Zhen yawned, squinted his eyes and said, "Why is it called Ge Fei? There is also me."
The girl raised her head and glanced at Zhou Zhen, but ignored him. Instead, she was very interested in Gu Yuan.
"Is this the person you brought back from Haicheng?"
Ge Fei nodded and asked, "Where is the boss?"
"I'm waiting for you up there."
"Ge Fei, please take him over there. I'll go and take a nap for a while. I'm too tired." Zhou Zhen said with a yawn.
Ge Fei took Gu Yuan upstairs through the corner stairs. At the end of the stairs was a door, which opened the double lock of facial recognition and fingerprint input.
In front of him is a long and narrow corridor.
On the left side of the corridor, there are floor-to-ceiling windows made of pieces of glass. You can just see the street scene outside. The lower part is sealed, and the upper part can be separated. The width of the corridor is about two meters, and there are many flowers placed near the glass. hastily.
There will be a wooden door at intervals on the right.
Ge Fei took Gu Yuan to the end of the corridor.
"You go in." Ge Fei said and turned around and left.
Ignore Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still knocked gently on the door.
Didn't get any response.
"I'm in."
After saying this, Gu Yuan turned the door handle and walked in.
As soon as the door opened, a special fragrance hit my face.
It's the fragrance of ink.
It's like opening a new book you just bought, the ink is still wet.
The room is relatively spacious and has the same decoration as the study room, but compared to the slut Su Xiaotang in Tiangong, this office is more plain and unpretentious.
A thick black boss chair with its back facing Gu Yuan.
When Gu Yuan came in, the boss' chair also turned around.
The person sitting on the boss's seat had a smile as bright as a flower. His two iconic braids were particularly eye-catching. He was wearing a floral skirt and waved gently at Gu Yuan.
"Hello, Gu Yuan."
At this moment, Gu Yuan's brain buzzed.
He widened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief.
His lips were trembling slightly because of excitement.
His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he struggled for a long time before he could say a word with difficulty.
"Senior Xu...Senior Xu Qingzhi?"
Maybe it was influenced by Ge Fei and Zhou Zhen.
Now Gu Yuan is also a "senior" when he speaks.
Xu Qingzhi stood up, her skirt dancing gently.
"Sit down first."
Gu Yuan looked at the woman in front of him steadily, his mind still a little confused.
He thought that the person he saw when he walked into this office was Li Siming.
Even if it wasn't Li Siming but someone else, Gu Yuan wouldn't be too shocked.
But...
It's Xu Qingzhi!
How come she is here?
How could she be here?
"Why are you here?" he blurted out.
Xu Qingzhi pursed her lips and smiled. She squinted her eyes and said, "It's not important, Gu Yuan. Have you told them everything that happened in the Demon Realm before?"
Gu Yuan nodded subconsciously.
"Um."
"Are you hiding nothing?" Xu Qingzhi continued to ask.
Gu Yuan frowned, suddenly feeling strange.
Xu Qingzhi seemed to notice his doubts, sat upright, and said with a smile: "Let's have a cup of tea first. Don't be so nervous. Will I still hurt you?"
"Gu Yuan, you can trust the Demon Suppression Department." Xu Qingzhi continued, "Tell them carefully what you encountered in the Demon Realm, and they will help you, do you understand?"
Looking at Xu Qingzhi in front of him, Gu Yuan's body suddenly froze.
His pupils shrank, his face looked horrified, and he raised his finger to point at Xu Qingzhi's face.
"you……"
Xu Qingzhi was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
She stretched out her hand and lightly touched her face with her green-white fingers.
There are black stains on my fingers, oh no, it's ink.
Turn around and look at the mirror next to you.
In the mirror, one of Xu Qingzhi's eyes was gone, and his facial features were gathered into a ball of ink, like a piece of dog skin plaster stuck on his face.
His original skin also became as pale as paper.
she.
It's slowly melting.
