My pawn shop specializes in "living things"——
Someone pawned half of a finger bone, saying it could buy him fifty years of life, but that night his heart was ripped out by a shadow monster;
The old lady brought a bleeding jade pendant, just to see her deceased husband for the last time, but it triggered the fire that burned through Yin and Yang in 1998;
Even the mysterious man in a silver-gray windbreaker wanted to use his "ticket to the crack outside the boundary" to exchange for the jade pendant on my chest with my mother's name engraved on it.
They all say that I am a twin soul, half human and half the ghost in the mirror.
But only I know that beneath the foundation of this pawn shop, there is something more terrifying than an evil spirit—
It was the crack in the realm that my mother had sealed with her residual soul, and it was also the "key" that Shadow Pavilion had coveted for hundreds of years.
When the bronze key felt hot in the palm of my hand, and when the flower of death cried out in the gap between the world, I finally understood:
Some pledges cannot be collected. If they are collected, they must be redeemed with their lives.
The old events of the Republic of China hidden in the account books and the secrets of the moon core deep in the Mirror Realm are just the appetizer for this adventure.
After all, I owe Lao Wang my first life, I owe my mother the truth, and I owe this world a protection.
(Tip: When you open this pawn book, what you see may not be a story, but the nightmare you didn't finish last night.)
