The shriveled, shiny appearance made it look less like a living hand and more like a meticulously crafted specimen.
"Wishing Monkey Paw!"
The bald manager recognized the origin of this hand.
This mysteriously originated monkey paw appears at intervals; sometimes it shows up directly in the Metropolis, other times it is brought in from overseas.
Anyone who obtains it can make three wishes, but they never come true in the way they desire.
And once the three wishes are fulfilled, the monkey paw will curl up completely, bringing overwhelming disasters to the wisher and those around them, before disappearing without a trace.
Many people in the Metropolis know of the monkey paw's existence and the consequences of using it, but most still choose to make wishes out of greed or overconfidence, repeating one tragedy after another.
And the bald manager didn't expect it to proactively appear in this form.
Could it just be a resemblance? Or has the mechanism of the monkey paw changed?
