[Cold boss × wolf cub redeemer]
[The first iron rule of pawnshops: Once a transaction is established, it will not be redeemed.
Xie Changyan has been a pawnshop owner for three hundred years, and no one has ever redeemed his pawns.
Until that day, a man slapped a yellowed pawn ticket on his counter: "I want to redeem my brother's soul."
The night the deal was made, the man disappeared.
There was only an oblivious child left on the ground, hugging his legs and crying out that he was hungry.
Xie Changyan wanted to throw the oil bottle out, but found that the pawnshop barrier was ineffective against him - an exception that had never happened in three hundred years.
The child didn't remember anything, except that he instinctively clung to the corner of his clothes and followed him wherever he went.
What's even more weird is that there is a line of words on the back of the pawn ticket:
"Pawn: The truth about Xie Changyan's life."
It turns out that the person he wants to redeem is me.
Xie Changyan looked through the pawn shop files and found that the records about this transaction were blank. Someone put his name on the pawn ticket without him knowing it. And that child bore the mark of the Zhuyin Organization—a mysterious force that was destroyed three hundred years ago.
Deep in the pawn shop, a heartbeat came from behind a sealed door, at the same frequency as the child's pulse.
The remaining words of the deleted Rule 13 are still faintly legible: Ransom—another life.
The pawnshop owner who had been alone for three hundred years did not know for the first time whether he was the chess player or the chess piece.
