Thirty years, passed.

That rumor, which was still talked about at the time, can even be said to be an "urban legend", has now faded over time, and has gradually faded into people's oblivion, until now, it has become a few short stories in the inconspicuous corners of the Internet - people see it more than just an ordinary archaeological accident.

......

The warm and warm winter sun shines softly on the old wooden floor of the antique shop through the slightly "cloudy" glass doors.

The door of the antique shop creaked open - this stainless steel glass door that has not been replaced in 20 years can be considered an "antique".

"Boss, let's see how much I can sell this thing for?" asked a middle-aged man, rattling on the wooden floor, in a slightly hoarse and smoky voice.

The middle-aged man's wrinkled hand placed a somewhat dusty cloth bag on the old-fashioned glass counter with stainless steel corners in an antique shop—the bag looked like one of the roadside advertising bags.

"Hello, hello, the boss is not in the store now, I'll show you first!" Huangfu Guanghe stood up enthusiastically.

This is the third day that Huangfu Guanghyuk has been working at this antique shop.

He quit his previous job to work here.

resigned from his previous job, and Huangfu Guanghe was relaxed.

In the previous job, the overtime was not particularly serious.

However, in the previous small company, the division of labor was chaotic and the management was chaotic, and the boss usually ignored it, and when there was a problem, he would only ask questions.

For a company like this, Huangfu Guanghe is very puzzled, how did he survive-perhaps, it was because of a group of people who have not been in the company for a long time, and all kinds of work to make up for the shortcomings, so he barely survived.

This antique shop was opened by Huangfu Guanghe, his high school classmate's father, who was about to enjoy retirement, and now, that high school classmate has become the owner here.

It's said that it's here to help, but it's not a part-time job, to be precise, it's money to earn together - a large part of the salary comes from the commission of antique sales.

In fact, it is an antique shop, and this store is more about collecting some second-hand old goods that are worth collecting—like some old-fashioned radios, watches from decades ago, and sometimes, some mahogany furniture, etc., which can really be called antiques, but there are almost nothing—and there are only a few metal knick-knacks in the store that are more than 80 years old, as well as the oldest silver ornament in the store, a hundred years ago.

The middle-aged man put the cloth bag in his hand on the table, which should contain what he called an "antique".

The middle-aged man opened the cloth bag, and there was a plastic bag inside, which was a very ordinary supermarket plastic bag, which seemed to have been used.

Huangfu Guanghe frowned slightly—he had never seen anyone with an antique like this.

Under the curious gaze of Huangfu Guanghe, the middle-aged man peeled off the plastic bag in a burst of gurgling sounds.

A puppet?!

Compared with the surprise, Huangfu Guanghe was even more shocked.

The antique shown in front of Huangfu Guanghe turned out to be a strange puppet.

That's right, weird, extremely weird!

The head of this mysterious puppet is very pointed, like the head of a squid.

And on the pointed head of this puppet, there is a hideous, elongated face!

"This ...... What is this?!" Huangfu Guanghe looked at this thing and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Puppets. The middle-aged man said.

"I mean, what's the origin of this puppet?" Huangfu Guanghe continued, "It looks a little infiltrating!"

"Okay...... There are indeed some. The young man looked at the strange puppet, then smiled and said, "I guess it was not good before, haha." This thing is said to be an antique and not an antique, but I see that your store also collects some collectible old goods, so I ...... This thing was found from the demolished old house, and the owner didn't want any of these things, so he gave them all to us, and I looked at them and took some things that weren't considered garbage. ”

"I guess I usually listen to a lot of various urban legends, and after reading this, I naturally feel a little scary, haha. Huangfu Guanghe looked at the honest middle-aged demolition worker in front of him, smiled and said.

"How much does this thing cost? probably?" asked the honest middle-aged demolition worker to Huangfu Guanghe.

"Hmm......" Huangfu Guanghe picked up the water cup on the side, took a sip of water, then put down the cup and estimated, "Almost, forty...... It's old, but it's not an antique...... However, our store has also collected a lot of things worth collecting, and this strange thing will be collected!"

"Fifty lines, you say, this thing looks quite special. The middle-aged man began to bargain.

"Hmm......" Huangfu Guanghe looked at the strange puppet again, although he didn't like it very much, and was even a little afraid of the puppet's appearance, "That...... Forty-five. ”

“...... Okay, it's forty-five!" the middle-aged man smiled innocently again.
