The roof of the downtown hospital.

"What the hell is going on?"

Wei Xiaobao looked at Uncle Nine who was standing at the railing on the edge of the rooftop and asked again.

"It started about 10 years ago. ”

Uncle Nine sighed, as if he was stuck in a long memory.

"Ten years ago, the head of the family was still an ordinary person, and the Shangguan family was far from the scale and status it has now. Suddenly, one day, the head of the house heard about a place, a place where you could pawn your soul in exchange for what you wanted, so the head of the house went to this place. ”

"At first, we thought it was a rumor, but we didn't expect this place to exist, but if you want to get help, you have to sell your soul in exchange for ten years of success, and if you want to continue after ten years, then sell something else. ”

"When the decade is up, the other party will come to take back what was sold that year, and this year happens to be the tenth year. At first, we all thought it was just a joke, but then as the Jinxun International Trade Group grew, we found that there were really people secretly helping, although it became more and more successful, but the closer we got to ten years, the more uneasy we became, until the other party came to the door. ”

When Uncle Nine said this, his face was full of remorse and a hint of fear.

This time, they asked the head of the house to sell his daughter's soul to ensure that he would continue to keep the current success for ten years, but the head of the house refused, so it became the way it is, I don't know what spell they cast, and the next day the head of the house became like this, and even the doctor could not find out the cause, but only became weaker and weaker, and finally ran out of oil. ”

The more Uncle Nine spoke, the fear in his eyes became more and more obvious, with a trace of remorse on his face, and finally finished telling this unbelievable story that had been hidden in his heart.

Wei Xiaobao frowned, Uncle Jiu's words seemed to be an unrealistic story, even in the Qing Dynasty, Wei Xiaobao had never heard such a strange thing.

But he had never seen Uncle Nine have such a frightened look, if it was true, then what was the origin of this mysterious organization, Wei Xiaobao couldn't figure it out.

"In fact, over the years, the head of the family has been looking for someone who can entrust Miss, so he has been arranging various marriages for Miss, just hoping to find a strong family to protect Miss for the rest of her life, because he is not sure if those people will hurt Miss, but he has taken a lot of detours, and it has also brought a lot of pain to Miss that should not have been experienced. It wasn't until you showed up that he finally saw hope. ”

Uncle Nine looked at Wei Xiaobao and said very seriously.

Wei Xiaobao's face was solemn, he didn't speak, still thinking about the story that Uncle Jiu told just now.

"Where's that place?"

After a long time, Wei Xiaobao looked at Uncle Nine and asked in a deep voice.

Uncle Nine was stunned for a moment, his expression was a little struggling, and he hesitated.

"What do you want to do?"

Uncle Nine thought for a long time, looked at Wei Xiaobao and asked.

"I want to meet them. ”

Wei Xiaobao squinted his eyes, and his voice was cold.

"No, I know you're not an ordinary person, but you can't go to them, you are the person who the head of the family believes can be entrusted to the young lady, if even you have an accident, the head of the family will definitely not turn a blind eye. ”

Uncle Nine kept shaking his head and refused.

"I have my own measure, don't you want to know what they did to Jin Ye?"

Wei Xiaobao looked at Uncle Nine and said seriously, with a hint of firmness that could not be refused.

Uncle Nine hesitated, his expression complicated. To be honest, it was false to say that he didn't want to know, but reason reminded him that the other party was not someone he could afford to mess with.

After a long time, Uncle Nine finally made up his mind.

"W City, there's a place called Hell Pawnshop. ”

Uncle Nine finally said it, and when he mentioned that place, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Got it. ”

Wei Xiaobao nodded, secretly remembering it in his heart.

Uncle Nine let out a long breath, glanced at Wei Xiaobao, and turned to leave the rooftop.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Uncle Jiu, who was also much older, and frowned slightly.

What kind of place is this, listening to the name, it always makes people feel that it is a place of pretending to be a ghost and swaggering.

But that story made Wei Xiaobao feel that this place, like the ancient Gongsun family he had been tracking, was also covered with a veil of mystery.

Lighting a cigarette, Wei Xiaobao dialed the knife's phone.

"Master Wei. ”

There was a little surprise from the knife on the other end of the phone, because they had only just separated.

"Take a trip to W City and look up a place called Hell Pawnshop. ”

Wei Xiaobao said lightly.

“...... Good. ”

Knife paused and said a brief yes.

Immediately, Wei Xiaobao hung up the phone.

Is there some kind of connection between the Gongsun family and the Hell Pawnshop? Or is this world not as simple as it seems?

Wei Xiaobao stood alone on the rooftop of the hospital for a long time, and his expression was never more solemn.

......

In the corridors of the hospital.

"Master Wei. ”

Xue Baichuan saw Wei Xiaobao who was going and returning, and quickly greeted him, his face a little heavy.

"Hmm. ”

Wei Xiaobao nodded lightly, walked to Shangguan Jinxun's ward, stopped and stared, looking at this old man who had become more and more disliked before, but he couldn't help but feel sorry at this time.

"I went to the doctor to find out, and they said that with Jin Ye's current condition, he could leave at any time, and there was nothing he could do, and there was no cause at all. ”

Xue Baichuan said heavily.

Wei Xiaobao nodded and did not speak. He had already guessed such a result, and any normal person who became Shangguan Jinxun would not be able to live.

"What the hell is going on?"

Xue Baichuan looked at Wei Xiaobao puzzled and asked suspiciously.

"I want to know too. ”

Wei Xiaobao smiled bitterly and said helplessly. Now I only hope that Xiaodao's side can find out some clues earlier, and can find the crux of the problem before Shangguan Jinxun dies.

The only thing he is worried about now is Shangguan Qing, if Shangguan Jinxun really can't be saved, it will undoubtedly be an unprecedented blow to Shangguan Qing, because after all, she only has this one relative, and the relationship between their father and daughter has just improved.

It is always unacceptable for a black-haired person to send a white-haired person.

......

The next day, Wei Xiaobao received the news of the knife.

This place called the Hell Pawnshop does exist, but all the people sent by the knife to investigate have not been heard from, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

Originally, Xiaodao planned to investigate in person, but Wei Xiaobao vetoed it, because it was really weird, he didn't want Xiaodao to risk it alone, and planned to wait until he went to see it in person.

But it seems that it is too late.
