"Where exactly is this place? Who are you?" he couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yang laughed, his smile seemingly concealing endless secrets: "It seems you really have forgotten everything again."
"What do you mean?" Ma Xianhong asked, puzzled.
"We've met before, do you remember?" Lin Yang asked, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Ma Xianhong shook his head blankly: "No, I don't remember. I just saw this business card and a voice in my head told me to come."
Lin Yang looked Ma Xianhong up and down, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes: "Looks like you've lost your memory again."
“Amnesia?” Ma Xianhong murmured. “I think I really have amnesia, but my sister told me I don’t.”
Lin Yang laughed, his smile tinged with mockery:
"It seems we've discussed this issue before."
"Have you ever considered that your memories were taken by your sister?"
“No, impossible!” Ma Xianhong shook his head violently. “She, she wouldn’t do this to me.”
"Since she doesn't know, then how did you lose your memory, and what did you forget?" Lin Yang pressed on relentlessly.
"No, I don't know." Ma Xianhong remained silent.
He tried hard to recall everything from the past, but his mind was blank.
Lin Yang's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a hint of amusement, "Actually, it's easy to find out if you want to."
He swayed slightly and continued:
"If you pawn something at our No. 8 Pawnshop, I can help you regain your memory."
Ma Xianhong frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Pawn something? Pawn what?"
Lin Yang sized up Ma Xianhong, his eyes revealing a deep meaning:
"Your memories are different from others; they were taken directly by someone else."
"Therefore, recovery is impossible."
He paused, then continued, "So the items pawned can't be ordinary either."
Ma Xianhong replied with some helplessness, "But I have nothing now."
Lin Yang chuckled: "No, you can. Your lifespan, your senses, your internal organs, even your soul can be pawned."
Hearing Lin Yang describe it as so terrifying!
Ma Xianhong was startled, his expression changing slightly: "No, no, you want to pawn these things?"
Honestly, Ma Xianhong thought it was just about pawning some items; who knew it would be so unusual?
Lin Yang smiled and said, seeing Ma Xianhong's reaction:
"You can ask around; our No. 8 Pawnshop has always been like this."
He continued, "What you want to retrieve is a memory that was removed by someone, and you should know that this is the hardest thing to get back."
Lin Yang's tone suddenly turned serious:
"So if you use your ordinary items to pawn, the value is not commensurate with what you're saying."
Somewhat flustered, Ma Xianhong asked, "Then, what exactly do you want me to pawn?"
Lin Yang glanced at him, his tone calm yet undeniably firm: "Your eyes, your internal organs, your soul—all of these are acceptable. Of course, the choice is yours."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong's face turned deathly pale.
His eyes? His internal organs? His soul? These are all part of his body; how can they be so easily pawned?
A nameless fear welled up inside him.
"I...I need to think about it." Ma Xianhong uttered these words with difficulty, his voice hoarse and trembling.
Lin Yang did not urge him, but waited quietly.
He knew that this decision would not be easy for Ma Xianhong.
Ma Xianhong was also hesitant.
His eyes and his internal organs both need it.
Wouldn't it be disastrous if we pawned it?
But then I thought that if his sister really had the ability to use both hands, wouldn't she be able to recover?
Ma Xianhong discovered a bug in the pawnshop system.
Just then, Lin Yang's voice rang out again:
“Ma Xianhong, you need to know that anything pawned at Pawnshop No. 8 can never be restored. So you need to think carefully.”
He said, "For example, if you pawn your eyes, no matter what you do, they can never be restored. In other words, you will be blind forever."
"Or your internal organs, in short, anything that has been pawned cannot be restored no matter what method you use."
Just kidding, the people at Pawnshop No. 8 aren't stupid.
Lin Yang wasn't stupid either.
I'll even find a bug for you.
What a joke.
Ma Xianhong immediately became depressed again.
I thought I had found a bug, but little did I know that Pawnshop No. 8 was already prepared.
"So, have you decided yet?" Lin Yang asked. "What do you want to pawn?"
Ma Xianhong started to struggle with the decision again.
After all, pawning anything will cause harm to your body.
But he also wants to regain his memories.
Lin Yang said, "If you can't decide, you can consider pawning your soul."
Ma Xianhong was stunned for a moment: "Soul, then I will die."
Lin Yang shook his head and said, "You're wrong. If you pawn your soul, you can become an employee of our Pawnshop No. 8."
He said, "Our pawnshop employees not only have excellent benefits and treatment, but they also gain great power."
Ma Xianhong was somewhat tempted after hearing this.
(Of the money) It seems that pawning souls is the best compared to other pawning services.
"Of course, becoming an employee means doing some employee chores," Lin Yang said. "I can tell you about those later, but it won't be too much trouble, and you'll still be free."
He said, "Even if anyone wants to erase your memories, they can't."
Ma Xianhong was increasingly tempted: "You mean, I will never lose my memory again?"
Lin Yang said, "Don't even mention a dual-wielding technique, even the Soul-Seizing Technique wouldn't work."
He said, "In short, everything you have will belong to the pawnshop. As long as the pawnshop is unwilling, you will never die."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong finally couldn't help but say, "Fine, I... I'm willing to pawn my soul."
This is the best solution for him now.
After all, you don't have to lose any part of your body, but you can regain all your memories.
Chapter 170: Ma Xianhong Becomes an Employee of Pawnshop No. 8
Lin Yang looked at Ma Xianhong in front of him, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.
He knew that Ma Xianhong had already made his decision.
He was willing to pawn his soul to become a member of Pawnshop No. 8.
Lin Yang took out a contract and handed it to Ma Xianhong, his tone revealing an undeniable firmness:
"Sign this contract, and your soul will belong to Pawnshop No. 8."
"However, you will also gain great power."
Ma Xianhong took the contract, looked at the terms, and although he hesitated, he finally made up his mind.
He took a deep breath, extended his finger, and pressed his fingerprint onto the contract.
In that instant, a mysterious power descended from the sky and enveloped Ma Xianhong.
He felt as if he had become one with the whole world.
Countless pieces of information raced through his mind.
Ma Xianhong's body underwent a dramatic transformation.
His muscles became more defined, and he exuded a powerful aura.
He felt as if he possessed boundless power, as if he could control everything.
At the same time, Ma Xianhong also discovers that he has established a mysterious connection with Pawnshop No. 8.
Suddenly, Ma Xianhong remembered something and abruptly looked at Lin Yang:
"Wait, did Chen Duo also join Pawnshop No. 8?"
Lin Yang smiled and nodded: "That's right, she did join Pawnshop No. 8."
Just then, a flood of memories began to enter Ma Xianhong's mind.
He saw his past, the beautiful and painful memories.
These memories were like a key, unlocking the door to the depths of his heart.
Once the memories in Ma Xianhong's mind have fully merged.
His eyes became extremely complex, as if he had experienced countless vicissitudes.
"I believe you have now found the memories you were looking for." Lin Changsheng looked at Ma Xianhong and a smile appeared on his lips.
Ma Xianhong took a deep breath and said with deep emotion, "Boss, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never have been able to find these memories again."
