Legend has it that the master of this dark world runs a pawn shop. This pawn shop is very mysterious. Ordinary people will not see this pawn shop, but whenever someone needs it, they will appear in front of their so-called customers. This pawn shop
The master behind the scenes, that is, the master of the dark world, takes advantage of human beings' endless greed and desire to lure these humans to come to the pawn shop for transactions. The ultimate goal is actually to collect human souls. But the soul is not the master's purpose.
Instead, he wants to control the world by controlling human souls.
When the third brother of the pawnshop heard what Xiaobai said, he seemed to have a flash of shock in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and looked at Xiaobai and me calmly.
"I knew you were not ordinary people. When I discovered you that day, I smelled something different from these ordinary people. But I didn't care. When you gave me jewelry, the jade pendant also
It’s not a family heirloom. In my experience, any piece of jewelry cannot be taken out of the water very quickly.”
"Yeah, that's true, but third brother, why didn't you say it?"
"I just don't think it's necessary. Since you don't want to say it, there may be a reason, so I don't need to ask you too much. Anyway, as long as I get the thing, it will be fine. Do you think what I said is right? That jade pendant
There is still the residual breath of soul in my body, and I am very sensitive to that kind of thing."
"By the way, I don't know what soul you are talking about. Maybe this is the purpose of my boss, but I don't know. In fact, to put it simply, I am just a part-time worker. Of course, most of the time, I also work with
Our pawnshop owner is pretty much the same, because most of the time, he won’t come at all.”
"Okay, third brother, I don't think you are a bad person, so why are you still here? You are a smart person, and you will not end up well in this pawn shop. This kind of job is not a good thing."
"Me? I'm really not a good person. I have never said that I am a good person. It's just how you feel about me. So you think I am a good person, am I? In fact, the eyes can also deceive people.
.”
"Then you can choose what you want to do. Third brother, what is it that keeps you here? A lot of money?"
"Yes, as long as I stay in this pawn shop, I will have endless money and the immortality that you people dream of. These are not enough reasons for me to stay in this pawn shop and work loyally for my boss.
The reason? I have lived for eight hundred years. In this world, eight hundred years is not a short time. I have seen the changes in dynasties and the changes in cities. Can’t you see it?
Ah, it stands to reason that when you call me third brother, you really call me younger."
It turns out that this is the case, he is already eight hundred years old. In fact, I started to see that he was only in his forties, or at most fifty years old. This really surprised me. I didn't expect that I could really see him.
For people who live forever, this feeling is still very strange.
But I didn't see how happy and satisfied the third brother was in his eyes. Instead, I saw loneliness. I felt that I shouldn't see this kind of look on his face. Shouldn't he be very happy? Human beings don't
They just don’t want to age or die. Immortality has been the dream of many people since ancient times. Monarchs have also done many things in order to live longer.
The third brother of the pawn shop, while he and Du Yu Xiaobai seemed to be proudly telling about their treatment in the pawn shop, they were already recalling what happened to them back then.
At that time, I was just a small businessman, opening an ordinary pawn shop, but one day I was found by the Lord of the Dark World. It was an ordinary man who came to my shop and asked me if I wanted to
Take over a bigger store and make yourself the boss.
But she just felt that there was such a good thing there, and this man was probably not mentally ill and was just joking with her.
"Boss, would you like to help me run a pawn shop, a bigger pawn shop than yours? I can make you the boss."
"What? Guest, are you kidding me? Do you know what I do? This is the pawn shop. If you want to pawn something, just pawn it. If you want to pawn with me, just turn left in front and that's it.
Now that we are in a teahouse, you can still listen to some tunes while drinking tea. Come on, please!"
However, the man just smiled and left the pawn shop. He was originally angry because the business of his pawn shop had been not good, and not many people came. It was not open day by day, but finally a customer came today.
Someone who comes here to cause trouble. Unlucky.
At night, the wife and son had gone to bed. When she heard the sound of her going back, the wife got up and boiled water for herself to wash her feet. Looking at her virtuous wife and her son who was sleeping soundly, she felt even more melancholy in her heart. She could not let them
Live a good life. Today's Holy Emperor is also a fatuous and incompetent person. People everywhere are in dire straits, and taxes and corrupt officials are burdening them.
Late at night, I didn't sleep. When I got up to pour a glass of water, I turned around and saw my little son standing behind me, staring at me.
"What's the matter, Jun'er? Aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Father, you have been chosen, so agree. You are the man chosen by the Lord. As your son, I am also very pleased. Aren't you happy?"
"Kid, what nonsense are you talking about? Go back to bed quickly. It's already midnight." The pawnshop owner was still wondering why this kid suddenly acted like this and talked nonsense. He's not even five years old yet.
Well, the tone of voice I just spoke was no longer that of a child.
"I am Devil Gardenia, I am a child of the dark world, and of course your father in the world is also you. Now I am responsible for coming to inform you that you have to accept the task given to you by our dark world, which is to be the boss of our human heart pawn shop, for all your life.
How about the Guardian pawn shop?"
At this time, the owner of the pawn shop realized that this was indeed not a joke made by his son, but a serious conversation with him. That look would not have been in the eyes of a child who was just four years old. Then he suddenly remembered
The man during the day also told himself that he would run a pawn shop.
"What kind of pawn shop is this? Just tell me. You are not my son now. I have already seen it. Who are you? During the day, the man also said the same thing. Why?"
"Oh? Are you interested? I'm just giving you a break during the day so that you won't be so surprised. I'm not here to come to you? I think if I tell you what you will get from being the owner of a pawn shop, then you will definitely
Will agree."
"Tell me, don't beat around the bush like this."
"Our people's pawn shop, as long as you agree to become the owner of our pawn shop, you will get endless gold and silver treasures, so you don't have to worry about money. By the way, the most important thing is that you can live forever.
Immortality and immortality are the most desirable things for human beings."
"Where can such a good thing happen? This pawn shop can't be doing some shady pawn shop business, right? I'm an honest person. If that's the case, I won't do it. No matter how much money I have, I won't do it. I won't do it."
My wife is still pointing at me. I think you are liars, and I don’t know how my son could say these things, but I don’t believe in immortality at all.”
"Don't rush to reject me. Since our dark world has chosen you, you can only accept it. If you are not willing, then do you know who will be punished with you? It is your sleeping wife, your gentle
My virtuous wife, I don’t know what will happen to her, you can choose to give it a try.”
"What are you doing? It's none of his business. I just want to ask why your dark world chose me."
