Chapter 30: The Mystery of the "Mystery".
I've only heard of those adult names in legends. Since Houqing www.biquge.info real, then, the generals, Yinggou, and drought, these thunderous zombie kings should also be real.
However, in a long period of history, there has been no strong record of them.
In other words, after experiencing the crusade of the Protoss, did you hide and change to another way of survival?
In fact, this way of survival is also terrifying. They wander among us like normal people, feeding on human blood without knowing it, and they don't know how many people they have eaten, and people will never be alert again.
They are probably the most strategic species of demon gods, after all, they evolved from humans.
"Can you move?" Dongcheng asked me with a frown.
I tried to stretch my hands and feet, and the pain had subsided. I could even move my body, sit on the edge of the bed, and try to stand up slowly.
Those two red pills were indeed the panacea for the symptoms.
"If you can move, please come with me and I'll take you to the pharmacy." Dongcheng still said very politely.
I took a stride and walked slowly behind Dongcheng. Although he led the way in front in silence, he was unexpectedly quite considerate of my inconvenience, so he walked very slowly in front.
Out of the room where I was resting, through the long corridors, and even through a few lively halls. But no matter where it is, the light in the room is dark and gloomy, and the furnishings are dazzling, all of which are old things from unknown dynasties, and the shapes look more and more weird and terrifying.
"Is this a 'mystery'?" I asked, somewhat curiously.
"Yes, our 'antique' shop." Dongcheng said with a smile.
I saw that the hall was full of people and there were more customers than we did in the bar.
Do modern people like antiques so much?
As far as I know, if an artifact is stained with the word "antique", it is equivalent to being labeled as "the price is not scored", even if it is a tea cup for daily use, the price can appear astronomical.
Therefore, many antiques belong to the type of priceless market, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to play them. How can an antique shop have so many customers? It's as lively as a movie theater.
Moreover, don't they hate humans and feed on them?
"Mr. Lu Shining is interested?"
"Ah......" I didn't know what to say. I was interested, but what Dongcheng said before made me uneasy and entangled. Theoretically, we should be two hostile races, but emotionally I feel indebted to them, so I can't hate them anyway.
"It's okay, I'll take you around if you're interested. We're famous! Dongcheng still said with a pleasant face.
I followed him into one of several halls. In the hall, people lined up, moving slowly towards the business windows. If it weren't for the mystical furnishings in the hall and the dim lighting, it would have been mistaken for the business counter of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
There is no glass at the counter, and the salesmen, both men and women, are all good-looking, and they are whiter than ordinary people. Moreover, they all have warm smiles on their faces, and they are as warm as spring in March.
"It's one of our side hustles, and it's the most popular program that helps our guests get to the top of their lives!"
"Huh? Sideline, side hustle? β
This slogan is very inflammatory, who doesn't want to go to the top of their lives? Just, where is it easy to achieve? I have to go through most of my life's hard work!
If there is such a cheap thing, it would be a pity as a "side hustle".
Dongcheng laughed.
"We are an antique shop, and of course our main business is to sell antiques. However, our antiques are different from other people's, they are 'enlightened', and they are very effective in exorcising evil spirits, even if they are expensive, there are people who come from thousands of miles to buy them. β
"Exorcism, meanβis it weird?"
"Oh, sure enough, Mr. Lu Shining is different. Humans and monsters are inseparable, humans can't see it, but if we don't understand monsters, how can we do your human business? β
I find it incomprehensible.
"You ...... Don't you hate humans, why do you still do human business? β
Dongcheng replied with a clear laugh. I looked around uneasily, only to find that the people in the hall didn't seem to be aware of our presence.
"Please come with me, take a look, and you'll understand."
Dongcheng led me to a window. Behind the counter was a beautiful salesman with long hair, and I realized that their uniform was also very good-looking.
"What do you want?" The beautiful woman asked softly with a professional smile on her face and a beautiful voice.
Every guest was clearly prepared, and the people who came here didn't seem to care about their worries. Naked and exposed.
"I want to be the most first-line star, the most well-known, and the most popular."
This seems to be a very common wish, but there are only a few successful people.
Only then did I realize that the guest was a young man, and he was indeed very handsome.
Here, no matter how absurd and unrealistic the wishes of the heart, they will not be looked at and laughed at.
"Understood," said the beautiful woman with a smile, "but your desire is of a high level, so the chances of failure are relatively high." The conditions on our side, you must have understood, even so, do you still want to sign the agreement? β
"Hope!" The young man said categorically, "If it can't be achieved, what's the point of living?" It's better to die! β
Die? I was taken aback, what does this mean?
"Okay. Please fill out these forms, go out and turn left for the third room, you can sign the agreement, please good fortune. The beautiful woman smiled and handed out a few forms, indicating to the young man the common desk to fill out, and the location of the side door.
I followed Dongcheng to the young man's side and watched as he filled out the form carefully. In addition to basic information such as his name, age, and residence, there are also some specific questions that resemble personality tests.
After filling out the form, we followed the young man out of the side door, turned left, and walked towards the third room indicated by the beauty.
"What kind of business is this? With the agreement, will his wish come true? What does it mean to fail? What happens if it fails? β
I had a lot of questions, and I threw them to Dongcheng in one go. Dongcheng didn't feel impatient, but answered me very seriously.
"We sell luck here. Many people believe that the reason they fail in life is due to bad luck, so we offer them luck to ensure that they have the best luck in everything that comes their way. They can seize these opportunities and make their wishes come true. However, if we still fail to grasp the opportunity to fulfill our wishes, or if the fulfillment of our wishes is short-lived, and we cannot keep it, and we will go downhill in the blink of an eye, and finally enter a state of exhaustion of luck, we will understand this situation as failure. If you fail, you will have to pay the price according to the agreement. β
