Chapter 271: Chapter 267: The Mysterious Pawnshop
“The way of pawning?”
“How to pawn?”
“Directly pawn organs for money?”
Fang Xiaocao asked with a face full of surprise and doubt.
This method of transaction was unimaginable to her.
“Yes!”
Taotie nodded.
“Pawn right on the spot after pawning?”
“How are they stored then?”
“Is it even possible to redeem them?”
Fang Xiaocao blinked, her questions laced with confusion.
On hearing her queries, Taotie shook his head.
“It’s not like that!”
“Not anyone can go, nor can everyone find it.”
Taotie spoke with a sigh.
“If just anyone could go, with Blacklist’s capabilities, would they not have found this pawnshop?”
“It’s said that the pawnshop has many messengers walking among us, these walkers constantly assess and search for suitable targets to extend invitations to. Only those who receive an invitation can know how to contact the pawnshop to proceed with the pawn.”
At this point, Taotie paused for a moment.
“Once a person opts to pawn, after registering the organ they wish to pawn, the pawnshop will implant a tracking chip into them, temporarily storing the pawned organ inside the pawner’s body. When the pawnshop finds a matching buyer, they will locate the pawner via the chip to carry out the organ transplant surgery.”
“As for redeeming, it’s practically impossible!”
“Pawning is divided into live pawns and death pawns!”
“Those who resort to pawning their organs for money, which one isn’t driven to extremes of desperation? How could they possibly have the money to redeem them later?”
“So, most opt for death pawns, and even among those who choose live pawns, only the odd one or two, by sheer luck, turns their fortunes around and wants to redeem their pawned organ. If the organ hasn’t yet been cut out, they simply need to repay the money they received. If the organ has already been removed, the pawnshop will transplant a new one from their stock.”
“For a live pawn, to redeem the organ, one only needs to return the money obtained at the time of pawning, with no interest charged. However, for a death pawn, if the organ has not yet been removed and they no longer wish to pawn it, they must pay the price that the pawnshop would sell the organ for to redeem it.”
Taotie shared the information Blacklist had gathered about the pawnshop, causing Fang Xiaocao to exclaim in shock time and again.
“Who came up with this business model? Isn’t the pawnshop worried about people running off with the money after pawning their organs?”
Fang Xiaocao asked, aghast with curiosity.
“Run away?”
Taotie laughed.
Taotie shook his head, asking with a smile, “Princess Your Highness, how many ordinary people do you think can escape Blacklist’s pursuit besides yourself?”
Fang Xiaocao blinked, “Very few!”
“Virtually impossible for ordinary people!”
“To escape, at the very least, they would need to have the capabilities of a Hummingbird.”
As she spoke, Fang Xiaocao froze.
Then, she showed a look of sudden realization.
Right!
Blacklist was already terrifying enough.
Not to mention the pawnshop, even more mysterious than Blacklist.
Once such a power set its sights on someone, ordinary people couldn’t escape; those who could weren’t chosen in the first place, let alone bother with pawning.
A few tens of millions of money, just take on one or two missions from the underworld, and it’s more or less covered.
Why would they degrade themselves to pawning organs?
Seeing that Fang Xiaocao had understood, Taotie simply smiled and said no more.
Princess Your Highness, as always, was a smart one.
There was no need for him to say anything more.
“The Pawnshop you speak of, I’ve heard a bit about it abroad as well. Since I’ve only ever heard its name and hadn’t seen any of their people, I thought it was made up. But now it seems, it’s real indeed,”
said Tom, surprised.
“We, in Dahan, also have legends about Pawnshops.”
The Hummingbird, who had been silent all along, also spoke up.
Hearing Tom and the Hummingbird’s words, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t help but exclaim, “What? Your country also has legends about this Pawnshop?”
Tom nodded, “Yes!”
“And it’s even more ridiculous than what Taotie said. The legends from our place say that not only organs can be pawned, but anything can be pawned, like oneself, one’s own life, family members…”
The Hummingbird beside him nodded in agreement.
“It’s the same in Dahan.”
After hearing what Tom and the Hummingbird said, Fang Xiaocao fell silent and thought to herself, “Wow!”
Fang Xiaocao pondered for a moment and then said, “So, this means that besides the treasure, another secret of this mountain could very likely be the headquarters of the Pawnshop?”
Tom blinked and shook his head, “The headquarters is unlikely, but it might be a place where the Pawnshop deals with bodies, recycling useless organs.”
“After all, there must be no shortage of people who took the money and then wanted to run away, all of them gamblers, or people with no way out. They were forced to pawn or had the intention to swindle by choosing to pawn. But after getting the money, they just wanted to make a run for it.”
“Such people, the Pawnshop would certainly not let go of them. After capturing them and coincidentally encountering a matching buyer, they would just drain their blood, sell their organs, and I guess they’d throw away the rest if it’s useless.”
“After all, compared to keeping them alive, waiting for who knows when a new matching buyer will appear, it’s easier to just look for new people, to rely on as a backup mobile organ reserve and blood bag.”
Hearing Tom’s words, Fang Xiaocao suddenly had a chilling feeling. This Pawnshop…
It really was a bit too horrifying.
“Tom makes a lot of sense.”
“Anyway, over the years, there’s never been anyone who came forward to admit that they pawned organs at the Pawnshop, even though many forces have publicly offered rewards to find these people. Yet no one came forward to claim that reward.”
“I guess, those who pawned might all be dead, even if they only pawned a kidney. But once on the Pawnshop’s operating table, anesthetized, aren’t they just meat on the chopping block? ”
“The Pawnshop can cut them up however they please.”
Taotie was very much in agreement with Tom’s thoughts.
“This…”
“Alright then!”
“It fits the survival rules of the underworld perfectly.”
Fang Xiaocao nodded in agreement.
“This Pawnshop is too mysterious; we shouldn’t provoke them. Let’s just take the treasure and not delve into the Pawnshop’s secrets,”
Fang Xiaocao said with a wry smile.
There’s no choice but to admit fear!
With just a few of them, unable to even handle the Blacklist, let alone the Pawnshop, which is even more mysterious than the Blacklist.
“Just afraid they might come after us!”
Tom shook his head and sighed.
“Exactly, we have entered their territory, even if we don’t look for them, they might come looking for us,”
Taotie said with a chuckle.

“If they come looking for us, then we fight!”
Fang Xiaocao said in a deep voice.
As she spoke, Fang Xiaocao took out her phone.
She opened the WeChat profile of Hot Noodles.
[Fang Xiaocao: There’s a mysterious force called the Pawnshop. Do you have any useful information on that in your timeline?]
