It was an extremely old wooden sign, paired with the quaint shop style and the human skin lantern glowing with green fire at the door, making the surrounding atmosphere very weird.
Shen Lin looked around specifically. It was dark, as if the center of the world was this weird shop.
There is no way back, and there is no way forward.
Shen Lin frowned, which meant that he could only go in.
There are very few descriptions of strange buildings in the recovery. The special ones in Shen Lin's memory are the ghost post office and the Wang family's old house.
This is obviously a pawn shop, and there are evil spirits, or the pawn shop itself is a ghost.
Ghost pawn shop!
The ancients had a saying of pawning between life and death. It was usually a pawn of property in exchange for a part of the reward. In this kind of transaction, the pawn party would invariably lose money.
In other words, this is an unequal transaction in itself.
But now, a ghost pawn shop suspected of being a ghost appeared in front of Shen Lin, which made Shen Lin narrow his eyes slightly and have thousands of thoughts in his mind.
"There is no way to come and no way to go, which means that the final destination that the ghost pointed me to is right here."
The direction pointed by the ghost is very dangerous to the person involved, which also means that the pawn shop itself is dangerous to Shen Lin. What this danger is is currently unknown. He doesn't know much about supernatural buildings. Each has its own quirks and needs to be explored step by step.
Staggering to the ghost pawn shop, Shen Lin came into close contact with this weirdness for the first time.
The ghost pawn shop has a wooden structure. The specific wood is unknown. The color is black with reddish color, which makes it look quite inconspicuous in the dark.
The door of the pawn shop was closed tightly, and Shen Lin could feel the cold breath invading his whole body through the gap. The interior seemed to be shrouded in an extremely dense layer of darkness, making it difficult to see anything.
Shen Lin stretched out his hands and exerted slight force.
The closed door opened in response, and the darkness inside dissipated, and an inexplicable and strange wave swirled around.
Shen Lin saw everything inside clearly, the pawn shop decorations were quite satisfactory.
Counter, lockers, an old and faded table and a few old chairs.
What attracts more attention are the two pillars on the left and right sides of the pawn shop counter, each engraved with different fonts.
You come in hungry and cold, and you go out richly rich.
This seems to be a couplet, briefly describing the rules and certain things here.
Beyond that, nothing was seen.
The situation is much better than expected. The ghosts everywhere that Shen Lin imagined after opening the door did not appear. The situation here can even be said to be ordinary, very ordinary, so ordinary that it makes you feel a sense of weirdness.
"Illusion? Still?"
Shen Lin frowned, and out of caution, he took out the ghost candle again.
A special lighter lights the ghost candle, and the green flame blends perfectly into the surrounding environment.
Shen Lin took tentative steps. At the same time, he stared at the candlelight in front of him. The ghost candle's candlelight was still stable without any fluctuation, which made Shen Lin feel much more stable.
Very good, at least it means there haven't been any big problems so far.
The next second, his body was completely submerged into the ghost pawn shop. Before he had time to look at everything in front of him, he found that the candlelight of the ghost candle was fluctuating.
The fire was quickly fanned a few times, and then extinguished directly, turning into a wisp of smoke that left Shen Lin stunned.
It's like someone blowing a breath to extinguish the ghost candle. This is simply incredible.
Shen Lin has experienced many abnormal situations of ghost candles, whether it is reversing the normal burning of ghost candles in the ghost ghost realm, or directly causing the ghost candles to collapse when the ghosts wake up, or even letting the ghost candles show the way just now. Burn violently.
But now the direct extinguishing made Shen Lin a little shocked. It didn't burn or collapse. It was like a terrifying ghost didn't take the ghost candle seriously at all and extinguished it lightly.
Incomprehensible, incredible.
Cold sweat flowed from Shen Lin's back. The extinguishing of the ghost candle meant that there was one or even several unimaginable ghosts here. If he was unlucky, he would be reduced to ashes by countless ghosts in the next second.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes.
Nothing happened, and the stiff Shen Lin slowly breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that he still had room to breathe.
Wait, something is wrong, the tingling pain from the body is slowly disappearing.
The resurgence of the ghost phase has been suppressed!
Shen Lin was stunned.
What does this mean? The fierce ghost here has some kind of ability that is suspected to be a ghost bus. Can it suppress the fierce ghost?
No, that's not right, Shen Lin frowned, remembering the strange extinguishment of the ghost candle just now.
There is an extremely terrifying ghost here. Its certain ability suppresses the ghost, just like no ghost can resist in front of the ghost. There seems to be a similar principle in the ghost pawn shop, and this principle Shen Lin suddenly I still couldn't figure it out for a while.
This kind of suppression will most likely only occur inside the ghost pawn shop. If he leaves here, he will return to his original state, or even revive on the spot.
This is very different from the ghost bus, which will slowly suppress the ghost, just like compressing an expanding cookie into a certain shape.
The Ghost Pawn Shop is more like wrapping it temporarily. When the Ghost Pawn Shop removes the wrapping, the swollen biscuits will instantly return to their original shape.
“There’s probably more weirdness here than I thought.”
Shen Lin thought this, and at the same time, he explored the inside a little bit.
In any case, it is definitely a good thing for Shen Lin that the ghost phase is temporarily suppressed.
He began to look at everything inside carefully.
Shen Lin didn't touch anything rashly. Everything here might have been transformed by evil ghosts, and he would be tricked if he was not careful.
Other than that, there didn't seem to be many abnormalities. He hadn't been attacked by any ghosts so far, which was unusual.
Turning around slightly, Shen Lin wanted to observe the direction of the counter, but caught a glimpse of an afterimage.
When Shen Lin stood firm, the afterimage disappeared.
At a sudden glance, Shen Lin saw a slightly illusory figure, and vaguely judged that it was an old man with disheveled hair, wearing a vest modified from a Chinese tunic suit, smiling at Shen Lin like a vulture.
"grass!"
Shen Lin shouted low and took a few steps back, almost hitting the old wooden table.
He did see it, but wasn't sure if it was a human or a ghost.
"There are indeed evil ghosts here, but I can't see them." Shen Lin's eyes were cloudy and uncertain. From that glance, he initially judged that the other party had no intention of taking action, which made him calm down a lot.
Everything happened so fast, it seemed like an illusion, but Shen Lin was extremely sure that it was real. There should be many evil ghosts in this weird pawn shop.
Invisible ghost!
"Old man, the pawnshop, the Chinese tunic suit, all these elements seem to be somewhat related to the Republic of China. Is this pawnshop left over from the Republic of China?" Shen Lin's eyes began to flicker.
Nothing related to the Republic of China was easy to compare with. He was not sure of the significance of the existence of this ghost pawn shop for the time being, but there was no doubt that the things left by the Republic of China must have some kind of use, which involved some of the roots of supernatural events. It is not something Shen Lin can peep at for the time being.
Shen Lin's eyes changed again: "Looking on the bright side, it seems that the evil ghosts here do not attack me for some reason or because I have not triggered the pattern. The ghosts have been suppressed in this situation, and I am safe for the time being."
“But how to break the situation?”
The ghost pawn shop restricted the recovery of the ghost phase, and also trapped Shen Lin here in disguise. He did not dare to leave here, otherwise he might be devoured by the ghost the moment he went out.
"Do we still have to make decisions from here?"
Shen Lin's expression was gloomy and uncertain. The rules of ghost guidance have been verified. The direction he pointed was dangerous, but there was also a glimmer of hope, but this hope was too slim.
In a sense, Shen Lin is indeed in danger now. He is trapped and dead in this ghost pawn shop. He has not completely become an alien and cannot stay here for too long.
Although controlling a powerful ghost and becoming a ghost master can make Shen Lin much more special than ordinary people, he is not yet transcendent in terms of diet. Ordinary people will die in up to five days without eating or drinking. It takes Shen Lin about half a month.
Half a month? Shen Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. This is an ideal situation. No one knows what the situation is like in this ghost pawn shop now. Shen Lin has not been attacked now. It is more likely that there is no trigger pattern. This pawn shop may be like a ghost pawn shop. They have some things in common, and only when the rules are triggered at a specific time will they be attacked by evil spirits.
A large part of the reason why ghosts are difficult to deal with is due to the exploration of rules. The exploration process itself is a great test for the ghost controller, let alone this ghost pawn shop that is suspected of being a supernatural building.
The ghost post office and the Wang family's old house, which Shen Lin remembered clearly during his recovery, both had several evil ghosts, and the ghost pawn shop was also similar.
"The supernatural itself has a certain logic. From a logical perspective, it's just like why the ghost is ticking the clock, and just like the ghost post office is working tirelessly to deliver letters, trying to wake up something. This ghost pawn shop must also have certain characteristics."
"Pawn shop, pawn shop~"
Shen Lin's eyes became brighter and brighter, while his face gradually darkened.
"Live as a human and die as a ghost. The pawn shop has always been a vegetarian. They accept the black ones and want the white ones. In other words, the ghost pawn shop opened its door to let me in. Do you want to trade with me?"
In ancient times, Yin Dang and Yang Dang were divided into Yin Dang and Yang Dang. Yin Dang was also called the black market. They did some shady business and came into contact with the three religions and nine streams, and they were in the gray area.
In a sense, the ghost pawnshop may be very similar to the yin pawnshop. It is not afraid of meat and vegetables, and wants everything. As long as you can afford the price, it can give you chips.
Shen Linzi looked around carefully, trying to find more clues, but still to no avail.
How can you leave empty-handed if you come with a pawn?
So, might he need to make some transactions to leave this place smoothly?
Shen Lin frowned, this is not a good thing. When you make a deal with a ghost, you never know when you will be eaten alive. This has been reflected countless times in the recovery.
A ghost is like a hunter with a gun, and a ghost controller is like a dexterous fox. The fox may be able to escape once, twice or even several times due to his agility, but the hunter never panics, because he only needs one shot. Kill the fox.
It's never a battle of equals.
