Chapter 1 Ancient Mirror Tea House
The thick black clouds blocked the entire starry sky, and the drizzle fell, making the whole city begin to become blurred.
It was already deep, and the bell at midnight fell quietly, without causing a ripple to the city. It seemed that there was nothing special about the zero hour for most people. Those who should work overtime and those who should sleep. As for those girls who are still watching TV series, or those who are participating in team battles, they did not notice that the time had reached the next day.
On a relatively remote street in this city, there is a different scene.
Fenglin Street is a street with a slightly meaningful name. This street is one of the few ancient streets in this city. Like many ancient cultural cities, the decoration on this street is very retro, and most of the goods sold in the shops have a certain historical atmosphere. There are countless antiques, jades, and cultural relics, and it looks not very different from other ancient streets.
But that's just what you see...
At the same time as the bell rang at midnight, the lights suddenly lit up on the ancient street, which had fallen into the darkness. The harsh sound of the door bolt rubbing echoed in the ancient street. The door of an old two-story building slowly opened, and the dim light crossed the threshold from the room behind the door and spread out in front of the door of the building.
"Middle time has arrived. Open the door to welcome guests and send them back behind closed doors." A low and weak voice sounded at the same time as the door was completely opened. If you don't try your best to listen carefully, you can't hear what this sentence is saying, as if this sentence is not for the guests.
The lights in front of the building have been completely spread out, but they only cover the three-foot-meter-long area in front of the building. It is still pitch black further away, as if an invisible wall is standing there, completely blocking the two spaces.
The ancient street was pitch black and there was no pedestrian at all. But gradually, there was a sound in the small building. It was the sound of a person's footsteps, the sound of a collision between the bowls and the tabletop. The person's footsteps were neither slow nor slow, and he was passing through the small building rhythmically, but he didn't know what he or she was doing.
“There are so many customers today!”
The footsteps in the small building disappeared, and a half-large boy in black clothes and black pants walked out of the small building and stood
At the door, he looked out of the empty door of the small building with his shiny eyes, and waved his hand in a little bored manner: "Today is full, come again tomorrow."
After saying a word, the boy in black closed the door of the small building again, turned around and stepped onto the steps, and walked towards the second floor.
"Boss, the customer is full, it's closed." The little boy in black was still speaking. At this time, he bowed and stood in a room on the second floor of the small building. Opposite the boy was a Grand Master Chair. A person was sitting on the top of the Grand Master Chair. This person was wearing a wide black casual suit, holding a mobile phone in his hand and was busy with something.
"Hey, landing at 98K, see how my brother takes you flying!"
"Damn, I'm sneak attacking and headshot. There's someone over there, come and pull me!"
... ...
Well, this person was playing games at this time, and he didn't hear a word about the boy just now, but looking at the young man's actions, it was obvious that the battle was very fierce now.
"I'm going, I'm dead again. Who are they? They must be cheating!" I don't know how many times the game character who fell to the ground finally couldn't pull him up again this time. His teammates died. The young man threw his phone on the table, picked up the teacup and angrily drank the cold tea in the teacup.
"Hey, Xiao Hei, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you open the door to welcome guests at this time?"
The young man noticed the boy in black standing in front of him at this moment, and asked the boy in a very surprised tone. There was a little bit of blame in his tone, but more of it was a casualness.
"Brother Lin, have you heard me speak? I have been standing here for more than ten minutes!" The boy in black looked at the person in front of him helplessly, with a deep helplessness in his tone.
"Ah, you have been standing for more than ten minutes. It's only the hour, it's just twelve o'clock, and the teahouse should be open. Why did you come up so early?"
"The guests are full. I don't know why today, but it's less than half an hour after opening the door, and the guests are full, so I came up and called you, it's the one you landed in the ground and made into a box."
"Okay, OK, I understand, I'll go down now. But it shouldn't be. Why is the customer full so fast today?"
When the boy mentioned that he had landed in a box, the young man suddenly turned red. He got up from the Grand Master's chair and began to change the topic. He didn't want the boy to answer the questions he asked. He walked downstairs and said to himself. He had not heard a sound coming from the downstairs for a long time.
The boy in black did not follow the young man, but jumped onto the windowsill, leaned against the side, and looked at the rain outside the window with his eyes intently.
He has been here for three years. To be precise, this small building is a small teahouse called Gujing Teahouse. This teahouse is very strange. It can be opened or not during the day. However, every 11 o'clock in the evening, the door of the teahouse must be opened to welcome guests at the moment when the bell rings.
The guests in this teahouse can only be called guests, not guests. The reason is very simple. Those who come to the teahouse at this time have monsters and souls, but there are no ones. The teahouse will not take on the business of living people at night.
The owner of the teahouse is Lin Mo. He is 25 years old this year. He is a college student who has never been to college. It may be a bit strange to say this, but it is easy to understand after explaining it. The boss’s university degree certificate was bought for money. Although it is useless, it has been displayed in the bookcase by Lin Mo as a treasure. As for why Lin Mo did not go to college and Lin Mo did not take the college entrance examination, let alone go to college.
As for the boy in black, his name is Lin Tian. He could not remember what his original name was, but the word Tian was engraved on the iron plate on his neck. So after being taken in by the teahouse owner, the name Lin Tian was found. Although Lin Mo gave it the name Lin Mo never called the word "Lin Tian". He always used Xiao Hei to call the boy in black.
Lin Mo had been going down for half an hour, but never came back. No sound came from the first floor, as if Lin Mo had just disappeared. However, the boy in black had long been accustomed to all this, and reached out to grab the back of the cabinet next to him. Lin Tian had a bag of snacks in his hand. He skillfully opened the bag, took out something and stuffed it into his mouth. His eyes were still looking at the dark rain curtain, and he said something in a vague way.
"Well, the dried fish is still delicious..."
