Only a gentle breeze rustled through the treetops lining the streets.
It makes a rustling sound.
Until a well-dressed woman appeared at the door of Pawnshop No. 8.
The woman had bright eyes, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Her curved eyebrows revealed a hint of fragility.
Her fair skin appeared even more radiant in the night.
Her slightly upturned lips carried a hint of sadness, making her beautiful and captivating.
This woman's name is Zhu Suosuo. She lived with her uncle's family since she was a child, and her life was not easy.
Her aunt's pickiness and criticism made her feel depressed and miserable.
She lacked the warmth of a family.
I desperately want to have a home of my own.
Just now, Zhu Suosuo was once again criticized by her aunt because of her cousin.
In a fit of anger, he ran away from home to clear his head.
I wandered aimlessly through the streets.
Suddenly I felt a gust of wind blow by.
A black business card was scraped into Zhu Suosuo's hand.
This business card is made of a special material.
The sign above reads "No. 444 Ximiao Ancient Street, Pawnshop No. 8" in gold lettering.
Actually, she wanted to throw it away at the time.
But suddenly a voice rang in my mind.
Tell her that perhaps Pawnshop No. 8 can help her.
Zhu Suosuo hesitated for a moment.
In the end, I decided to go and take a look.
She found pawnshop number eight by following the address on the business card.
Two red lanterns were hanging at the entrance.
It stood out conspicuously in the night.
She took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the pawnshop.
Ring ring ring…
Zhu Suosuo felt a crisp bell ring in her ear.
I was immediately stunned by the sight before me.
At this moment, Zhu Suosuo was standing in the grand hall of a pawnshop.
The ceiling in the hall was so high that the top was almost invisible.
Several huge crystal chandeliers hung above.
Each chandelier is composed of hundreds of sparkling crystals.
The light refracted through the crystal, illuminating every corner of the hall.
It is dazzling and beautiful, as if you are in a dreamlike fairyland.
A thick Persian carpet was laid on the ground.
The patterns on it are intricate and exquisite.
It exudes a strong exotic charm.
In the center of the hall stands a huge mahogany counter.
The counter surface is inlaid with gold wire and gemstones, making it look exceptionally luxurious.
Several thick ledgers and a pure gold abacus were placed on top.
The beads on the abacus glittered.
Zhu Suosuo looked around.
All around were displayed various precious items.
From antique calligraphy and paintings to gold and silver utensils.
From pearls and agates to jade and precious stones.
Each one is priceless.
At that moment, she felt as if she were in a huge treasure trove.
It's so dazzling that the eyes can't take it all in.
Zhu Suosuo choked up unconsciously.
Following the guidance of the unseen forces.
They carefully made their way through the pawnshop's main hall and headed deeper inside.
Through a tunnel made of white jade.
A private meeting room came into view.
Inside the reception room, the decorations are even more luxurious, dazzling the eye.
Silk tapestries, colorful and intricately patterned, hung on the wall.
Like flowing works of art.
The floor was covered with a soft wool carpet.
It feels incredibly comfortable to walk on, as if every step is on clouds.
In the center of the reception room, there is a round table carved from rosewood.
Exquisite tea sets and snacks were laid out on the table, emitting an enticing aroma.
There were several carved mahogany chairs next to the table.
The chair back is inlaid with ivory and pearls, giving it a noble and luxurious feel.
In this situation, Zhu Suosuo stood at the door, feeling somewhat at a loss.
Just then, a gentle voice sounded in my ear:
"Welcome to Pawnshop No. 8, customer."
Chapter Two: Zhu Suosuo pawns everything and becomes an employee of Pawnshop No. 8!
"Welcome to Pawnshop No. 8."
"I am the owner here, Lin Yang."
With a smile, Lin Yang walked calmly toward Zhu Suosuo.
At this moment, in his mind.
All of Zhu Suosuo's information has now surfaced.
Then he led Zhu Suosuo to the sofa on the side.
Zhu Suosuo sat down, somewhat at a loss.
His hands were clenched tightly together, making him appear somewhat nervous.
"I wonder how I can help you, customer?" Lin Yang asked with a smile.
Zhu Suosuo opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She came here out of mere curiosity.
I didn't really intend to pawn anything.
But now, facing Lin Yang's questioning...
She suddenly felt a little lost.
Lin Yang looked at Zhu Suosuo, as if he could see through her thoughts, and said softly:
"Customer, do you not know what you're pawning?"
"It's alright, I can introduce you to it."
He paused and continued:
“At our pawnshop, you can pawn anything.”
"Everything you possess: material possessions, lifespan, organs, family ties, and the five senses."
“Even your soul can be pawned here.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Suosuo's heart skipped a beat.
She looked up at Lin Yang, her eyes filled with fear.
Zhu Suosuo never imagined it.
There are actually pawnshops like this in the world.
People can pawn their lifespan and soul.
Lin Yang noticed Zhu Suosuo's fear, but his smile remained as bright as sunshine.
But at this moment, in Zhu Suosuo's eyes...
That smile, however, appeared somewhat ferocious.
"I...I've gone to the wrong place." Zhu Suosuo subconsciously stood up, wanting to run away.
"Customer, please don't leave yet."
