"You can walk freely in the sunshine and enjoy the beauty of life."

As he spoke, he went outside and stretched out his palm in the sunlight: "Like this."

Chapter 151: Chen Duo Becomes an Employee of Pawnshop No. 8

Lin Yang's words stirred something in Chen Duo's heart, and she couldn't help but start imagining her future life.

However, she also knew very well that if she wanted to gain something, she had to pay the corresponding price.

So she took a deep breath and mustered her courage to ask, "What price do I need to pay?"

Lin Yang didn't answer her question directly, but instead snapped his fingers lightly.

A black hole appeared out of nowhere, exuding a mysterious and unpredictable aura.

"Follow me." Lin Yang said, taking the lead and stepping into the black hole.

Chen Duo hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed them inside. She had no idea what awaited her ahead.

However, she had a premonition that this would be a turning point in her fate.

After passing through the black hole, Chen Duo found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.

Everything here was filled with an air of mystery and eeriness, which made her feel a chill run down her spine.

"Where...where am I?" she asked, looking around in astonishment.

Lin Yang smiled, his voice gentle and magnetic, seemingly reaching straight to the depths of one's heart:

"Welcome to Pawnshop No. 8, Chen Duo. I am the owner, Lin Yang."

With a gentle wave of his hand, rows of tall bookshelves appeared in the air, filled with all sorts of pawned items.

From ancient jade artifacts and precious calligraphy and paintings to modern electronic products, the selection is dazzling and comprehensive.

But Chen Duo knew that these were not ordinary things.

Lin Yang continued, "Our No. 8 Pawnshop is different from other pawnshops."

"You can pawn anything, including your life and your soul."

"You can get anything you want if you're willing."

Upon hearing this, Chen Duo's eyes widened in surprise.

She had never heard of such a bizarre pawnshop before; even in the most absurd dreams, there was no such scene.

She couldn't help but ask, "Can I really exchange anything for it?"

Lin Yang nodded and said firmly:

"That's right. You want freedom, you want to live like a normal person, right?"

"Then you'll need to pawn something you own."

Chen Duo's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Pawn what?"

Lin Yang's gaze was deep and mysterious as he slowly uttered two words: "Soul."

Chen Duo took a step back in shock, unable to believe her ears.

But Lin Yang continued calmly, "Chen Duo, your soul is very special; it possesses great power."

"If you are willing to pawn it to our No. 8 Pawnshop, we will give you a new life and freedom."

"You will no longer be troubled by Venom and can live like a normal person."

Chen Duo looked at Lin Yang, took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind: "Okay, I'm willing."

Lin Yang didn't seem too surprised by Chen Duo's response, as if everything was within his expectations.

He nodded slightly, took out a contract, and handed it to Chen Duo:

"Sign the contract. Once you do, you'll officially become an employee of Pawnshop No. 8."

Chen Duo took the contract and read it carefully.

Although the contents of the contract were somewhat obscure and difficult to understand, she could still make sense of it.

This is a contract concerning her soul.

She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately gritted her teeth and signed her name on the contract.

With Chen Duo's final stroke, the contract was officially generated.

A bright light descended from the sky and enveloped Chen Duo.

She felt a wonderful change happening to her body.

It was as if some mysterious power was flowing into her body.

To Chen Duo's surprise, her venom was also under control.

The venom that once caused her so much pain now seemed to have become a part of her body, obediently following her commands.

She could clearly sense that a mysterious connection had been established between herself and Pawnshop No. 8.

"Congratulations, you are now an employee of Pawnshop No. 8."

Lin Yang looked at Chen Duo, a satisfied smile appearing on his face:

"From now on, you will have a free life and will no longer be troubled by Venom."

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, a glimmer of gratitude flashed in Chen Duo's eyes.

She knew that she had finally broken free from the shackles that had bound her for so many years and gained true freedom.

0 ······Requesting flowers·· ········

She looked at Lin Yang and bowed deeply: "Thank you, boss."

Because she knew she was completely free.

"Now that we're employees, we can go back."

Lin Yang snapped his fingers and led Chen Duo through the mysterious passage of Pawnshop No. 8.

When they reappeared, they were back in Chen Duo's original room.

Lin Yang looked around and, after confirming that everything was in order, said, "You stay here and wait for my message."

He paused, then added, "Also, the people who were supposed to arrest you are here. If they want to arrest you, don't hold back, just do it."

After saying that, Lin Yang turned and left, leaving Chen Duo standing alone in the room.

..... 0 ....

Chen Duo looked in the direction where Lin Yang disappeared, and a strange excitement welled up in her heart.

She felt as if she had been reborn, no longer having to worry about the venom's corrosive effects, and no longer being controlled by those people.

At this point, the negotiations between Zhang Chulan and Ma Xianhong were also coming to an end.

“Nephew, since we’re all on the same side, I’ll be frank.”

Zhang Chulan looked at Ma Xianhong and said in a deep voice, "We came here this time for Chen Duo."

Ma Xianhong frowned and refused decisively:

"Chen Duo will not be given to you. If you want to fight for her, I will have no choice but to take action."

Zhang Chulan sighed, his tone softening slightly:

“Nephew, I don’t want to argue with you, after all, there aren’t many of us left.”

"How about this, we stay here for now, and we can talk about the rest later."

Ma Xianhong pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will arrange accommodations for you."

"But let's make this clear first, if your people cause trouble..."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them," Zhang Chulan quickly assured him.

The two reached an agreement, and Zhang Chulan and his men stayed at Ma Xianhong's residence.

So next, Ma Xianhong's men led Zhang Chulan and the others to a residence.

As for these people, Ma Xianhong certainly wouldn't let them off so easily.

He secretly sent people to monitor these people, and if any problems arose, he would immediately take action.

Chapter 152: Lin Yang Appears

"Everyone, the problem is now quite obvious."

“Ma Xianhong will not let us take Chen Duo away so easily.”

Zhang Chulan crossed his arms and his gaze swept across everyone's faces:

"We need to think carefully about what to do next."

Feng Baobao blinked and asked innocently, "Then what should we do?"

"If you ask me, we should just take action and arrest them."

Xiao Zizai's voice was cold and resolute, as if carrying a chilling aura:

"Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed."

His words instantly created a tense atmosphere.

Xiao Zizai hadn't killed anyone for many days, and the bloodlust in his eyes grew stronger and stronger, as if he was about to lose control.

Wang Zhenqiu glanced at him and gently shook his head:

“Brother Xiao, your ‘807’ style is too violent. We need to be gentler.”

"Gentle?" Xiao Zizai scoffed. "Ball, I'm not like you. I like violence and enjoy the feeling of bloodshed."

Old Meng frowned: "But we know nothing about this village right now, not even Chen Duo's exact location."

"Then search the entire village thoroughly!" Xiao Zizai's eyes revealed determination and resolve.

"I refuse to believe that we can't find Chen Duo's whereabouts."
