The midnight bell was like a layer of ice, hitting Chen Yan's nerves, causing him to grin in pain.
The Internet cafe is filled with the strange smell of low-quality tobacco and instant noodles, which makes people want to take out their lungs and wash them.
He rubbed his sore eyes and looked at the electronic clock on the wall for the hundred and first time: 02:37.
"There are still more than three hours..." Chen Yan muttered, his voice as low as a mosquito's hum.
It's really uncomfortable to be on duty, especially in this crazy weather.
He stood up and stretched his stiff neck.
Staring at the screen for so long made his vision blurry.
He decided to go to the storage room to tidy up and get some fresh air.
The storage room is located in the corner of the Internet cafe. It does not see sunlight all year round and is cold and damp.
All kinds of debris were piled up in a mess, exuding a musty smell.
Chen Yan pinched his nose and rummaged around.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a dilapidated wooden box in the corner.
The box was covered in dust and almost blended in with its surroundings.
Chen Yan picked up the box curiously and gently wiped off the dust on the surface.
The box was very light and seemed empty.
