Pawn Shop No. 14

I am Chen Gui, a folklore graduate student studying urban legends. It wasn't until I inherited the "No. 14 Pawn Shop" left by my missing uncle that I learned that this shop did not accept gold or silver, only "weird stories about the rules of cannibalism". The penultimate rung of the Midnight Staircase, the Fairy's invitation to comb her hair, the unattended tickets to the Bloody Cinema... These taboos in urban legends have all become collections on my shelves. But every time a strange story is collected, a "rule hunter" comes to the door with a chain to snatch the goods; and the uncle's disappearance is hidden in the words of these strange stories—— He was not lost, but was dragged into the cracks of the rules by a certain "collection".
