Sinisterium Pawnshop: Exclusive to Malevolent Objects

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Funerary Objects



  The minor internet celebrity had been doing live streams for two or three years, but she was always lukewarm and becoming famous was driving her crazy.

  She would wear anything that could make her famous.

  Not just a necklace made of human bones, but even a black magic amulet supposed to be for raising a spirit, she had tried it. However, she encountered a scammer, and the amulet was fake, with no effect at all.

  "Miss Bingbing, you need to think this through. Wearing this necklace is like living under public scrutiny, with all your words and actions being watched. If you have any scandals, they are very likely to be exposed."

  Lu Fei explained the side effects clearly to her.

  Sinisterium Pawnshop is not a shady business; all transactions are conducted openly and transparently.

  Evil objects can harm people, but they can also help. But to obtain their benefits, one must first pay the price.

  Bingbing hesitated for a while; she had done some unscrupulous things in her quest to become an internet celebrity.

  But she was so desperate to become famous that she thought even bad fame was better than no fame. In the end, she gritted her teeth and took out all her savings, even borrowing some money online, to scrape together 500,000 yuan and buy the human bone necklace from Lu Fei.

  A necklace with obvious side effects sold for 500,000 yuan.

  Buy low, sell high.

  That's the business of Sinisterium Pawnshop.

  Grandpa said that if the business of Sinisterium Pawnshop is well managed, fame, wealth, and status will not be a concern.

  Lu Fei generously gave fifty thousand to Liu Fugui.

  When you ask someone to do something, you must offer a reward.

  "Young Boss Lu, if your Sinisterium Pawnshop has any more treasures to sell in the future, be sure to tell me, Old Liu, first. I will definitely help you promote them widely.",

  "Uncle Fugui, it will be hard work for you in the future.",

  "No need to be so polite. It is my honor to collaborate with Sinisterium Pawnshop.",

  Liu Fugui felt very pleased to have a connection with Sinisterium Pawnshop, and he put in extra effort in his work.

  However, Lu Fei did not expect the results to come so quickly.

  The day after the bone necklace was sold, another customer came to the shop.

  "Lu Fei, help me quickly!"

  The person who arrived was a lanky, tall man. He hurried into the pawnshop, drenched in sweat, looking extremely anxious.

  "You are..."

  Lu Fei didn't recognize him at first.

  "It's me, Hu Zi."

  "Ah? Hu Zi, why have you become so thin?" Lu Fei was startled.

  Hu Zi was a clerk at an antique store on the street.

  He used to be tall and muscular, standing at 1.8 meters, with arms as solid as stone.

  But now, he was emaciated, his cheeks deeply sunken, as if he hadn't eaten for months.

  "I heard from people on the street that you can deal with evil objects, right?" Hu Zi pulled out a copper coin from his pocket and threw it on the counter as if it were a venomous snake.

  "Please take a look quickly, is this thing an evil object?"

  "Just a moment."

  Lu Fei put on gloves, picked up the copper coin, and examined it carefully.

  The copper coin was round on the outside and square on the inside, very ancient. From its texture and color, it was a genuine ancient coin, with faint black mist swirling around its surface.

  This kind of black mist was different from the black mist on the necklace made of human bones. The necklace had killing energy, while this copper coin had death energy.

  "This type of ancient coin should be a burial object. Where did you get it from?"

  "You really are quite skilled, identifying it as a burial object at first glance!" Hu Zi quickly gave a thumbs up, "So is it an evil object?"

  "Whether it's an evil object or not, I need you to explain clearly before I can make a judgment." Seeing that Hu Zi's lips were all chapped, Lu Fei went to pour him a glass of water.

  But Hu Zi waved his hands as if he saw something terrifying, saying, "I can't drink it! I can't drink it! Now, as soon as I eat anything, I vomit. Even drinking water makes me throw up, and it's making my insides feel like they're coming out."

  "Can't eat anything?"

  Lu Fei glanced at his complexion.

  His forehead was dark, and there were dark circles under his eyes, indeed signs of being possessed by an evil spirit.

  But strangely, he was emaciated to the point of being almost skin and bones, yet his belly was swollen, as if he had a beer belly.

  This created an extremely bizarre contrast.

  Lu Fei couldn't help but become curious and urged, "Then why don't you tell me how you got this copper coin? If I know clearly, I can help you better."

  Huzi quickly began to recount the origin of the copper coin.

  He had acquired the coin incidentally while out collecting antiques with his boss.

  That day, his boss was inside negotiating prices, and he was waiting outside.

  An old man dressed like a farmer approached him, asking mysteriously if he wanted to buy some old coins for just five hundred yuan.

  In these past two years, Huzi has been traveling around with his boss and has learned a bit about recognizing valuable items. He could tell that this was an authentic ancient coin, worth several thousand to ten thousand yuan on the market.

  He thought that if he sold the coin, he could make a few thousand yuan, which would be equivalent to a month's salary.

  Without telling his boss, he secretly kept the ancient coin. He planned to find an opportunity to sell it after returning home.

  Unexpectedly, his body started to have problems that very night.

  That evening, for some reason, he felt an intense itch in his mouth and an overwhelming desire to eat. Normally, he would only eat two bowls of noodles, but that day he ate five full bowls and still felt unsatisfied.

  Afraid of overeating, he forced himself to stop and went to bed.

  But as soon as he lay down, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if a knife was twisting in his intestines. This was followed by uncontrollable nausea, and he vomited all the noodles he had eaten.

  After vomiting, he felt extremely hungry again and wanted to eat more, causing him to toss and turn all night without sleep.

  Thinking he had gastritis, he went to the pharmacy and bought some medicine. However, after taking the medicine, he vomited even more severely.

  Unable to bear it any longer, he went to the hospital for a checkup. Strangely, the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him and prescribed some stomach-soothing medication.

  The medicine from the hospital didn't work either; he kept vomiting after taking it.

  In just a few days, he had become so emaciated that he was unrecognizable.

  At this point, even the most foolish person would realize that it wasn't a physical illness but something supernatural.

  After much thought, Huzi concluded that the problem must be with the ancient coin he had acquired.

  But he didn't know any masters, and he had heard that Sinisterium Pawnshop could take in malevolent objects, so he decided to give it a try.

  "Lu Fei, you don't know, I vomit as soon as I eat, and when I don't eat, I'm starving. The hunger makes me feel like my heart is being clawed at, my teeth itch, and I feel like I want to bite someone!"

  Huzi smacked his lips, his eyes fixed strangely on Lu Fei's neck, as if he really wanted to eat him.

  Lu Fei quickly stepped back, putting some distance between them, and inadvertently noticed something in Huzi's mouth.

  "Wait, Huzi, what's in your mouth?"

  "What? I haven't eaten anything." Huzi looked confused.

  "Open your mouth, let me take a look."

  Huzi opened his mouth wide.

  Lu Fei turned on the flashlight on his phone and shone it in, after seeing the situation inside Huzi's mouth, his hand trembled violently, almost dropping the phone.

  "What's wrong? Lu Fei, what's wrong with my mouth?"

  Seeing his reaction, Huzi's heart instantly sank.

  Lu Fei steadied his emotions before saying, "Teeth."

  He considered himself not a coward, having been through the baptism of the soul-absorbing chain and seen quite a bit, but the condition inside Huzi's mouth was simply too bizarre.

  "Don't scare me, what's wrong with the teeth?" Huzi was almost in tears.
