Chapter Eighty-Seven: Organ Pawnshop
Poor passages are typically characterized by dark, damp, rat-ridden, festering ghosts congregating in groups to gamble on their organs, soaking alone in sewage ditches, or hiding in garbage cans in search of prey.
This kilometre-long slum corridor seems to be a transition zone between ordinary houses and high-end residential areas.
In a high-class residential area, the buildings are uniform and relatively regular, and the road is more than five meters wide for traffic.
There are no motor vehicles in sight, and most of the goblins here move in a floating manner, which can be fast or slow.
Maggots old such ordinary residential areas of the homeowners, although in the former area some status.
When you come to a high-class residential area, you are just an ordinary person.
In addition, most of the first floors of the buildings on both sides of the street belong to shops, but the items operated or sold inside are quite strange, which attracts Yujing's attention.
For example:
At the entrance of the storefront with the sign "Leather Home Decoration", there are all kinds of human and animal skins, and a beautiful female ghost is sitting in front of the counter at the gate, receiving buyers and introducing all kinds of leather, and can customize various furniture and decorations according to the buyer's wishes.
There is also a long queue in front of a shop called "Wonderful Divination Shop".
The black signboard has tentacles as the background pattern, and the interior exudes a faint chaotic atmosphere.
It seems that the shopkeeper is a descendant of an evil god or a worshipper, and conducts one-on-one divination work for customers. When Yujing passed by, a single eye poked out from under the curtain, and when he saw Yujing in yellow, he immediately retracted it.
If Yu Jing hadn't been pressed for time, he might have taken the time to go in and have a look.
"The massage service of this [centipede massage parlor] is quite good. More than 100 years ago, when I was younger, my wife and I came once. The owner is a centipede monster who can press hundreds of acupuncture points at the same time and has a deep understanding of each acupuncture point, and can even put his tentacles into his body for a deep massage...... If you have time, you should definitely come here and enjoy it. ”
The massage parlor that the old man maggot was referring to was very large, and the dimly lit interior, where the heirs of a group of centipede owners were in charge of various massage work, which could be regarded as a huge family business.
Now that the massage parlor has become bigger, if you want the boss to go into battle in person, you need to pay ten times the massage fee and make an appointment in advance.
"Since you have a business model here, the currency in circulation should also be fixed, right?" Yu Jing asked.
"Yes, Stygian."
The underworld currency in the mouth of the maggot is naturally not a fake underworld banknote that is tens of billions of dollars in human society, and it belongs to a unique currency in the ghost canyon.
"Don't worry, if you are strong enough, you can kill my enemies. can also inherit a huge sum of money in his hand, he is a relatively famous big boss on this street. ”
Yu Jing nodded, "Oh? Not bad...... Maggot, why do you believe that we can avenge you so much? In the end, we may be killed, and you and your wife will be destroyed. ”
The maggot smiled innocently, and some maggots fell to the ground between his teeth, "Life is a gamble, and I am also a person who has half of my body in the ground, and I can still afford to bet with an old bone like me." ”
"What kind of person is the other party?"
"A famous collector, the only pawnshop owner in this shopping street."
"Sounds like a lot of money."
"Yes, it's rich! If you can kill this person, you will be able to meet all your needs for this journey. ”
"Take me there, and tell me about your previous conflicts."
The old man frowned, and he didn't really want to recall that memory, "At that time, I was still young, because I got the ordinary house title deed, and I also needed a sum of money to build a house and home decoration, because I was very short of money, so I chose to use the pawnshop to save the emergency, and exchanged a more important item on my body for some money." ”
"About three months later, I was unjustifiably rejected when I was ready to redeem the item with a contract and enough ransom...... I won't talk about the process, the contradiction intensified and led to the big shopkeeper of the pawnshop, which became a more tragic ending later. ”
Yu Jing nodded, "Take me over." ”
Led by the old man maggot, he came to the door of the so-called pawnshop.
Although I had been mentally prepared in advance, I was also shocked by this contrast.
What is the imaginary gold and silver pawnshop with gorgeous decoration, and in front of it is a completely messy organ market.
The filthy ground was littered with rotten pieces of meat, and most of the pawnbrokers came from the slums, and they didn't pawn any valuable treasure, but a part of their own body.
The organ pawnshop market is filled with the sound of sharp weapons cutting and flesh splitting.
Of course, in the depths of the chaotic market, there is also a slightly neater pawnshop store that is responsible for pawning foreign goods.
However, due to the fact that there are not many supplies in the Ghost Canyon area, and the reputation of this pawnshop is quite bad, few people come to pawn the real treasures...... Slowly, it became an organ pawnshop like it is now. These slum dwellers just want to trade their bodies for some money and enjoy a luxurious life.
The people in charge of organ valuation and disposal are a group of bizarre butchers, all of whom are pawnshop keepers.
"Maggot old man, go quickly."
"Well, I'll trouble you later."
The old man walked to the front of the shop and explained his willingness to challenge one of the butchers, who looked at the old maggot's loose body, laughed disdainfully, and went to report to the big shopkeeper.
Ghost Challenge.
It belongs to the supreme law in the ghost canyon, and as long as it has not experienced a challenge in the past ten days, anyone must not refuse to challenge it.
The ghost challenge will deprive the loser of everything.
"I heard that someone is going to challenge me [Wanjin Pawnshop]?"
A rather greasy ghost creature walked from the inside, two meters tall, and its fat belly protruding nearly half a meter away.
Although he is fat, the flesh of his whole body is not scattered, but tight, and every step can make a big hole in the ground.
A white shirt with a purple vest that was about to be torn, stepping on a pair of shiny leather shoes in more than sixty sizes, combing his head, exhaling white breath from his nostrils, and his belly was pushed up to the old face of maggots.
The difference in the physique of the two is quite obvious, and the aura is not the same level.
"You old man, can't you sell your body for a few dollars? That's right...... Maggots all over the body, have we seen them anywhere? ”
"No, I'm a resident of an ordinary residential area, and I just want to challenge you. Don't know when you're free? The maggot had an honest face, and he didn't have any angry expression when he saw the enemy.
"Waste from ordinary residential areas came running to waste my time...... Guys, business is suspended for ten minutes, clear the field! ”
