Overjoyed, Chen Luo soon found that three months later, he still died of cancer.

   #Reborn for the 10,000th time, he kidnapped the most difficult, icy, terminally ill cancer patient, Chen Luo, and stormed into a top-tier luxury restaurant, gun pointed directly at business tycoon Xie Liuyun. The police cordon tightened, but he smiled and stroked her hair: "You guessed half right." "I am indeed dying soon; this is the ten thousandth time." The wailing of sirens shattered the romance of the top floor of the Rose Restaurant in Pengcheng. The crystal chandelier swayed, reflecting the blood-red, scattered silver cutlery and spilled red wine. Only at the table by the window, the atmosphere was frozen. Xie Liuyun remained seated, her aura as a top-tier heiress unwavering, only her eyes sharp as knives, coldly cutting into the uninvited guests before her. Her four elite bodyguards were now sprawled in a corner, their wrists locked in cold handcuffs, struggling silently. And the man who created all this chaos—Chen Luo—wearing a perfectly tailored white suit, was completely out of place amidst the mess. He casually toyed with a pistol between his fingers, the muzzle occasionally tracing a chilling arc. Outside the window, the flashing blue and red lights of police cars were blindingly bright, covering his pale profile like a harbinger of death. "This place should be completely surrounded by police by now," Xie Liuyun's voice was icy, each word clear and distinct. "Even if you get the ransom, you won't escape." Her gaze was like a scalpel, precisely dissecting him. "Rapid breathing, trembling fingertips, a face as pale as if you just came out of chemotherapy... Late-stage cancer? Is this your real trump card for not being afraid of the police?" "Hahaha!" Chen Luo suddenly burst into laughter, his chest heaving, a sickly flush rising to his thin cheeks. The laughter echoed eerily in the empty, deathly silent restaurant. Instead of showing any panic at being exposed, he leaned forward, his gaze brazenly locking onto Xie Liuyun's cold face with an almost admiring amusement. "Miss Xie truly lives up to her reputation, beautiful and ruthless, with a discerning eye." He murmured, a weary admiration tinged with the weariness of someone who'd been through countless beauties. Just as Xie Liuyun frowned, his pale, slender fingers, with a strange tenderness, gently brushed a stray strand of hair from her temple. The gun was inches away, yet his fingertips were icy cold. "Half right." Chen Luo's eyes burned with a mad, weary flame, as if piercing through the blaring police lights, gazing towards a distant, incomprehensible end. "I'm dying." He paused, a smile blooming like a datura flower at the edge of hell, "but this is the ten thousandth time." The sirens roared like trapped beasts; the air in the restaurant froze. For the first time, a crack of disbelief appeared in Xie Liuyun's icy gaze.

   When eerie and malevolent creatures trade with the living, what lies behind the horror...? Have you ever imagined a mysterious pawnshop in a hidden corner of the city, specializing in trading chilling and malevolent objects? "Midnight Pawnshop, the Living Avoid It" takes you into such a world of horror and mystery. This pawnshop is no ordinary place; it never accepts gold or silver jewelry, only those sinister objects exuding an eerie aura: money left behind by the dead, the blood-stained executioner's knife, strange mushrooms growing on graves, legendary flesh-eating fungus, Kunlun fetuses... These malevolent creatures, seen as sources of misfortune by ordinary people, can be transformed into "treasures" that change one's fate through a simple pawn-and-buy transaction. Promotion, wealth, disaster relief, even defying destiny are no longer unattainable fantasies. But what is the price for obtaining these "treasures"? What terrifying events will occur when the living begin to deal with these malevolent creatures? Behind every evil artifact lies a chilling, untold story, revealing the greed, desires, and struggles of human nature. The protagonist, Lu Fei, led an ordinary life until his grandfather's mysterious disappearance drew him into this world of evil artifacts. Three years prior, his grandfather went out to collect evil artifacts and vanished without a trace, leaving only a note and a bank card, instructing him to reopen the "Evil" pawnshop three years later. When Lu Fei follows his grandfather's instructions and reopens the pawnshop, the eerie forces hidden in the darkness also emerge. Late at night, the pawnshop welcomes special customers: some are possessed by evil artifacts, their eyes filled with fear and despair; others harbor ulterior motives, attempting to use the evil artifacts to satisfy their own desires. Through his interactions with these customers, Lu Fei gradually uncovers one shocking secret after another, and becomes embroiled in a series of life-or-death struggles. Every story is full of twists and turns, from eerie village tales to a demon hidden in a lamp, to a "luck soup" lured by a human and a "turtle soup" with blood streaks—every plot will send chills down your spine and make your heart race. If you enjoy supernatural thrillers and crave to explore the unknown secrets hidden in the darkness, then *Midnight Pawnshop, Living People Avoid* is definitely for you!

    ① It's said that old people become wiser, and some antiques can even acquire spiritual energy, becoming so-called "yin objects." The protagonist, Zhang Jiulin, collects these different yin objects and uncovers the touching stories behind them, whether joyful, sorrowful, or terrifying (no harem, male lead, one love for life). ② In this world, there exists a kind of being between a human and a half-human, half-ghost. They walk between Yin and Yang. They have no lifespan of their own and can only earn a corresponding lifespan by continuously acquiring the secret spirits of the underworld distributed by the underworld. Many strange things happen during this time, which I will tell you slowly. (No female lead, no harem, dual male lead) ③ Everything has a price. Everything can be pawned, including your soul, life, beauty, health, and even your time. Equivalent items can be exchanged for different goods. Open this novel, and all the love, hate, and separation in this world will be found in the Yellow Springs Pawnshop.

    ## "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin": Seven Nights of Severed Deaths, Butcher's Family of Six Disemboweled and Hooked on Iron Hooks! > Seven days after the death of the madwoman Huixiang, no one in the village remembered to burn paper money for her. > But that one night, the Chen family, the butchers who had seized her old house, all disappeared. > At dawn, the village chief led a group to break down the door— > Six corpses were found disemboweled and hung on iron hooks like pigs awaiting slaughter, their entrails spilling out. > **Butcher Chen was nowhere to be seen.** --- **The Madwoman's Old House, Seven Nights of Severed Deaths and Terrifying Terror!** Huixiang died with resentment, her ancestral home was seized, and Butcher Chen, who made his living by slaughtering pigs, couldn't wait to seize it and begin construction. The village elders warned, "The seven-day mourning period is not over, it is not advisable to disturb them," but he scoffed and spent a fortune building a three-story Western-style house on the original site. Entering the house to ward off evil spirits? The Chen family felt everything was going smoothly and had no scruples. **However, on the last night Huixiang bid farewell to the world, a silent judgment suddenly descended!** **The following morning, a bloody inferno shattered the tranquility—the entire Chen family of six were brutally disemboweled like livestock awaiting slaughter, hung from cold, unyielding hooks! Their entrails spilled out, a scene of utter horrific horror! The illusion of a successful new home was shattered. Who was this vengeful demon, Duan Qiye? Was it the overwhelming hatred of the wronged spirit Huixiang, or had a deeper taboo of the underworld been violated?** Even more chilling was the fact that Chen the butcher, who should have been wielding his knife at the slaughterhouse, had mysteriously vanished, his fate unknown… **"Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin" uses the most primal horror techniques to dissect the overwhelming resentment beneath the secrets of a rural village!** In a seemingly peaceful village, once taboos are broken, vengeful ghosts claim lives, and corpses are left unburied. As the truth behind Chen the butcher's disappearance is peeled back layer by layer, you'll understand: some debts, if not repaid in the mortal world, will be collected in the underworld! #SupernaturalRevenge #FolkTaboos #Suspense #Thriller #NineDragonsPullingTheCoffin #WarningForTheFearless
