"Is this important things said three times and important people welcomed three times?"
Ye Qing looked at the two rows of people in black. He could clearly feel that those people had no aura, or to be more precise, they had no souls and were just empty shells of puppets.
"Now that you've come, let's make peace with it." Ye Qing didn't hesitate. Since he couldn't leave, he might as well go in and have a look. Moreover, he also wanted to see if this No. 8 pawnshop could really pawn people's souls, as the legend says. everything within.
After entering the No. 8 pawn shop, a strange creature that looked like a human, with both hands and feet, but its head was an ebony stand filled with red, white, blue and green candles, came up to him.
The ebony shelf has three levels and is triangular in shape, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The first level has the most candles, the second level has the fewest, and the third level has only one candle.
Each candle has hands, feet and a face, showing different appearances, jumping around and chattering non-stop.
"Welcome to visit Pawn Shop No. 8."
After coming up, the white candle shaped like a beautiful woman on the top of the ebony shelf spoke. The woman's voice was clear and sweet, like a wind chime, with a hint of elf and weirdness.
The candles shaped like children on the two shelves at the bottom were jumping and chirping: "Welcome..."
"welcome……"
"welcome……"
The woman with a white candle said: "Welcome to the No. 8 Pawn Shop, distinguished guests. I am Zhu Ling, the minister of the pawn shop, and I will serve you wholeheartedly."
"Chaofeng? Boss?" Ye Qing asked curiously.
"Boss? I'm not the boss. I'm just a manager, the manager of Pawn Shop No. 8."
Zhu Ling smiled faintly, and then became curious: "You seem to be very familiar with Pawn Shop No. 8, and you are not afraid at all? Some people come here for the first time, but they are so frightened that they can't stand still?"
"Yes, yes, some people are so scared that their hands and feet are weak..."
"Some people were so scared that they cried for father and mother..."
"Some people were so scared that they peed..."
As soon as Zhu Ling finished speaking, the candles that looked like children all agreed.
"Afraid." Ye Qing shrugged and said honestly: "If I can let me out because I am afraid of you, then I will tell the truth, I am very scared."
"Well, I was so scared that I almost cried."
Zhu Ling chuckled: "But I don't think you are afraid at all. How about you cry and show me?"
Ye Qing: "..." You won't let me leave, why should I cry to you?
"It's just a joke, please don't take it seriously!"
Zhu Ling smiled playfully: "Actually, your distinguished guests don't need to be afraid. Being able to enter Pawn Shop No. 8 is an opportunity and good fortune that everyone dreams of. Many people can't get in even if they want to. Your distinguished guests should be happy!"
"Opportunity? Good fortune?" Ye Qing asked: "What chance and good fortune? What exactly does your No. 8 pawnshop do?"
Zhu Ling smiled and said: "Pawn Shop No. 8, as the name suggests, is used to pawn things. However, our Pawn Shop No. 8 is different from other secular pawn shops. Our pawn shop can pawn all valuable things, including gold, silver and jewelry. , magic weapons, spiritual materials, martial arts secrets and other tangible things, as well as the five senses such as hearing, taste, and touch, the seven emotions such as love, family, and friendship, talents, talents, and..."
"Dream..." A red candle replied, the red flame steaming with passion.
"The future..." A green candle continued, the green flame swaying like a dream.
"Lifespan..." A green candle continued, the green flame lingering, cold and dead.
"Soul..." A black candle said at the end, the black flame floated, sinister and strange.
"You should have seen it along the way. Those are the pawn collections of my No. 8 pawnshop. There are all kinds of rare things in the world." Zhu Ling continued.
"Those things are collections?" Ye Qing was stunned as he recalled the weird and eerie things he saw along the way. Then your pawn shop No. 8 has a wide range of business and a bit heavy taste!
Unlike Pawnshop No. 8 in another world, which is so single-minded and only needs the soul.
"Then what can I get?" Ye Qing asked.
Zhu Ling replied: "Pawnshop No. 8 has always adhered to the principle of fairness and justice. Whatever you pay, you will get accordingly. The higher the value of the pawned thing, the more and more valuable things can be exchanged for, for example... …”
An orange candle answered with a seductive tone: "Enjoy endless wealth..."
A Yellow Candle continued with a bewitching tone: "The power of life and death..."
A blue candle swayed, and his tone was full of confusion: "Strength that is unparalleled in the world..."
"So, no matter what you want to pawn or what you want to get, our No. 8 Pawn Shop can fulfill your wishes!"
Zhu Ling's voice was gentle and intoxicating, but full of endless temptation, and countless bewitching whispers came from the void and rang in Ye Qing's ears. They were soft, gentle, and dreamy. Ye Qing's mind was unconsciously immersed in it. , countless thoughts of greed, anger and delusion surged in his heart. He wanted wealth, power, strength, everything...
Ye Qing didn't notice that when he was sinking, a character "eight" appeared on his forehead, the character "eight" from the No. 8 pawnshop. The character "eight" became clearer and clearer as his desires arose. Wisps of evil black energy drifted out from the writing.
All the candles swayed slowly and turned into darkness. Innocence, liveliness, and cunning were all gone, leaving only... evil.
However, at this moment, the strange sutra in Ye Qing's arms suddenly glowed slightly, and a cold breath spread throughout his body. Ye Qing, who was originally filled with lust and confusion, suddenly woke up.
The moment he woke up, all the murmurs echoing in his ears disappeared, and the character "eight" on his forehead also disappeared. Even the strangeness in the room returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Only, the candles on Zhu Ling's body were all shortened by a section.
"What happened just now?" Ye Qing woke up, but he couldn't remember what happened just now. If it weren't for the faint coolness exuding from the strange meridian in his chest, he wouldn't even realize that something was wrong.
"It's okay, distinguished guest, please take a seat."
As if nothing had happened, Zhu Ling asked Ye Qing to sit in front of a table and said with a smile: "Dear guest, have you decided what you want?"
Ye Qing subconsciously touched his chest. Although Zhu Ling's behavior was no different from before, and there was nothing unusual in the pawn shop, he always felt that something was wrong and subconsciously raised his vigilance.
"Oh, I want to leave, is that okay?" Ye Qing thought for a moment and said thoughtfully.
This is indeed what he thinks.
Zhu Ling: "..."
This was the first time she had encountered such a human being who had been given the opportunity but was unmoved by it. She was speechless for a moment.
In fact, it wasn't that Ye Qing wasn't unmoved, it was just that the weird thing just now made him subconsciously not want to stay here any longer.
Opportunity and good fortune must be enjoyed by fate.
"According to the rules of our No. 8 pawn shop, everyone who comes to the No. 8 pawn shop needs to pawn something. In addition, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Wouldn't the distinguished guest not consider it anymore?" Zhu Ling was silent for a moment. , replied.
"It's hard work. Believe it or not, I'm going to give you a bad review?!" Ye Qing touched his nose. Obviously, Pawnshop No. 8 is not a toilet. You can't come and leave when you want.
After thinking for a while, Ye Qing said seriously: "I want a bottle of Moonstone!" Firstly, he wanted to use Moonstone to test the other party's details and trading rules; secondly, he really needed Moonstone .
Zhu Ling smiled slightly: "Moonstone is made from the essence of the sun and moon. It has various magical effects. Pawnshop No. 8 happens to have moonstone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hooded, soulless puppet came over carrying a plate with a small porcelain bottle on it.
"Dear guest, please take a look."
Ye Qing took the porcelain bottle and opened it, only to see a pool of sparkling liquid inside, as if there were countless stars undulating inside.
"It's the moon stone marrow, and it's of high quality." Ye Qing looked at Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling smiled happily: "Our pawnshop No. 8 is an honest man, so naturally we will not cheat."
"So, has your guest decided what to pawn in exchange for this bottle of moonstone?"
"Can anything be pawned?" Ye Qing asked.
Zhu Ling said: "Anything is fine."
"Okay, I understand." Ye Qing thought seriously for a moment and said, "Then I'll pawn my laziness and greed in exchange for the Moonstone."
Zhu Ling: "..."
Seeing that the other party was silent, Ye Qing continued: "Isn't it enough? How about adding anger and delusion?"
"Isn't that enough? Then add to it my carelessness, half-heartedness, impatience, and sloppiness..." In addition, I have been suffering from insomnia and dreaminess, a bad stomach, and bad luck for the past two days. Please pawn these things too. , it doesn’t matter if there are too many, just treat it as a gift from me, no thanks. "
Zhu Ling: "..." Thanks? Thank you to your whole family!
Seeing that Ye Qing was still chattering, Zhu Ling said helplessly: "I said before that our No. 8 pawnshop only pawns valuable things. The things mentioned by the distinguished guests have no value."
Ye Qing's voice stopped suddenly and he said dissatisfiedly: "Aren't you able to pawn off anything? You made me waste so much saliva?"
"Is it my mistake to co-author it?" Zhu Ling was speechless and could only say: "I'm sorry, distinguished guest, I didn't make it clear before."
"I forgive you." Ye Qing said generously.
Zhu Ling: "Do I need your forgiveness? Me!"
Ye Qing sighed in his heart. As expected, he couldn't take advantage of the loophole, so he thought for a while and continued: "Then use my handsome, unparalleled, and shocking appearance to exchange for this bottle of moonstone!"
"How about this? That's all right!"
Zhu Ling said helplessly: "Dear guest, our No. 8 pawn shop can't pawn something we don't have? In other words, narcissism can't do it either!"
Ye Qing: "..." Damn it, if you co-author the thing I am most proud of, it will become narcissistic. Believe it or not, I can't beat you... well, I don't think I can beat you. Then forget it, a good man won't follow. Female fight!
"What about my humility, elegance, and integrity? These are all valuable things, so let's do it anyway!" Ye Qing did not believe in evil, and he did not believe that he had no good qualities at all.
"I'm sorry, distinguished guest, you don't have humility and elegance, but integrity is fine!" Zhu Ling said seriously.
Ye Qing: "..."
If I hadn't seen you as a woman, I would have beaten your head off long ago.
But at least I still have integrity. What does this mean? I still have good qualities!
Not a complete scumbag!
Hey, why does it sound weird?
