Annotation

**Traditional Mysticism, Occult Dealings, and Tales of Cursed Objects** This is a peculiar pawnshop that specializes in accepting sinister items with unique value: the coins placed in the mouths of the dead, an executioner’s blade, tomb mushrooms, flesh ganoderma, Kunlun fetuses… These cursed objects can harm people, but they can also bring assistance! Once handled by the pawnshop, these items can be transformed from evil to treasure: bringing wealth and promotion, warding off disasters, or even altering fate! There is no inherent good or evil in things—what is insatiable is the human heart... On certain late nights, this pawnshop also sees visits from strange and eerie customers...

Chapter 1

Antique Street.

Lu Fei walked through the bustling street and headed towards the less crowded area. He kept walking until he reached the most secluded and deserted location, in front of an unremarkable small pawnshop.

The decoration of the pawnshop is very simple, but it does not look old. Instead, it has a unique charm that has endured the baptism of years.

On the ancient sandalwood plaque above the gate, several large characters are engraved in a flamboyant manner.

Xiezi Pawnshop.

This is an industry run by Lu Fei's family for generations. Previously, it was managed by his grandfather, and now it has been handed over to him.

Their pawnshop is rather special. Unlike ordinary pawnshops, it never accepts worldly possessions such as gold, silver, and jewels. Instead, it specializes in accepting some sinister items with special value.

For example, mahjong made from human skulls, the knives used by executioners in ancient times to cut off people's heads, and coffin boards dug out from old graves.

Grandpa often said that evil things can harm people but also help people!

These things, through the hands of their pawnshop, can turn evil into treasure and become treasures that help people change their luck.

Mahjong made from human skulls can make people win every gamble. The executioner's knife can protect people from disasters. Old coffin boards can make people get promoted and become rich.

Curing diseases and saving people, turning bad luck into good, and even changing fate against the heavens.

These evil things transformed by them have made countless high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, and powerful families flock to them. It is said that during its heyday, even people from the royal family patronized it.

People in the Jianghu all know that the things from Xiezi Pawnshop are extremely hard to obtain even with a huge sum of money!

However, those glories are all in the past.

Xiezi has been in decline for many years.

Lu Fei took down the sign that said "The shopkeeper is out. Please call if you need anything." He opened the door and walked into the pawnshop. A trace of frustration appeared on his young face. "Still no news of grandpa."

Three years ago, grandpa went out to collect evil things and never returned. He only left a note and a bank card.

"Little Fei, don't look for me. Concentrate on your studies! After three years, you can reopen Xiezi. If you can receive three evil things within a month, then continue the business. Otherwise, take this money and go as far away as possible!!!"

The money left by grandpa is enough for Lu Fei to live for the rest of his life.

Now, three years have passed.

Lu Fei graduated from college and, according to grandpa's instructions, returned to Xiezi.

Although grandpa warned not to look for him.

But Lu Fei still spends part of his time every day walking around near the antique street and inquiring about news related to grandpa.

But grandpa is like he has disappeared from the world. He didn't leave any clues for Lu Fei.

"There is still a long time ahead! First complete the task grandpa gave and officially open Xiezi. Then slowly look for him. In case he comes back by himself one day, at least there is still a home."

Lu Fei cheered himself up and started cleaning the pawnshop so that he could open for business.

But the location of his pawnshop is really too remote. There is almost no customer flow.

It has been half a month since he opened the door, and not a single customer has come.

Going on like this, it is impossible to receive three sinister items within a month.

Otherwise, should he take the initiative and inquire around this antique street?

As people age, they become shrewd. As trees age, they become monstrous. Old items are most likely to produce sinister things.

Lu Fei was thinking when suddenly he noticed someone outside.

Under the old locust tree diagonally opposite the pawnshop, at some point, a young woman in a white dress stood there, looking in the direction of Xiezi Pawnshop with a scrutinizing gaze. "Is she here to pawn something?"

After looking at her for a while, suddenly Lu Fei's pupils constricted.

"No way. What's wrong with her shadow?"

He saw that there seemed to be more than one shadow under the woman's feet.

But before he could see clearly, the woman hurriedly walked towards Xiezi Pawnshop.

"Excuse me... Is this Xiezi Pawnshop?"

A slightly hoarse voice rang out. As soon as the woman in white dress entered, the air in the room seemed to cool down a few degrees. She looked around the environment of the pawnshop and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, this is Xiezi. What can I do for you?"

Lu Fei stood up and deliberately turned on the light.

The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She was tall and slender. She had an extremely delicate oval face and was very beautiful. But her whole body's skin was as pale as a dead person.

Under the bright light.

There was a large dark mass under her feet. There was more than one shadow.

There were at least a dozen shadows, like a large string of balloons strangely trailing behind her!

Lu Fei was greatly startled.

With so many dirty things attached to her, what did this woman do?

"Great! Is Old Shopkeeper Lu here? I want to pawn something." The haggard eyes of the woman showed joy as she took out a yellowed old business card.

On it was printed Lu Fei's grandfather's name and the seal of Xiezi.

This was a business card given out by grandpa before.

So she was an old customer!

Lu Fei quickly asked, "Miss, do you know my grandpa?"

"I don't know. My name is Xie Yao. The business card was given by an elder in my family and I was instructed to find Old Shopkeeper Lu no matter what!"

The woman turned her head and looked around as if in a hurry. "I'm sorry, my grandpa is not here. My name is Lu Fei. I am the current shopkeeper of Xiezi. Miss Xie, just tell me what you want to pawn."

"What? Where did he go?" Xie Yao seemed to have heard bad news. Her body swayed.

"Miss Xie, be careful!"

Lu Fei quickly brought a chair and asked her to sit down.

"When will Old Shopkeeper Lu come back? Money is not a problem!" Xie Yao grabbed Lu Fei's arm. Her eyes were full of urgency.

"Ouch!" Lu Fei immediately got goosebumps.

Her hand was like a piece of ice that had not melted for years, emitting a chilly air. This chilly air was like a knife scraping his flesh.

Her body was so cold, yet she was still wearing a dress.

Being cold without realizing it is a sign of impending death!

If all these strange phenomena are related to the thing she wants to pawn, it must be an extremely ominous thing!

Chapter 2

Lu Fei's eyelids twitched.

Either there is no business at all, or as soon as there is business, it's an extremely ominous thing.

Is God doing this on purpose?

But he couldn't show weakness in front of the customer. Calmly, he said, "Miss Xie, my grandpa won't be back in a short time. Telling me what you want to pawn is the same as telling him. I know everything that my grandpa knows."

"You?"

There was full of suspicion in Xie Yao's eyes.

The reason is simple. Lu Fei is too young.

If the shopkeeper of a pawnshop doesn't have enough knowledge and rich experience, can he distinguish the quality of items? Moreover, what she wants to pawn is an evil thing that concerns her life.

Lu Fei could understand her feelings. After all, no one would feel at ease entrusting their life to a stranger.

He had to show some real skills to convince the other party.

So, he said in a very good attitude, "Miss Xie, you should have been feeling tire
