The Seventh One

Shen Yan repairs bodies at a funeral home. Trained in forensic medicine, he left the police force three years ago because of an incident. There are three rules: it only happens when the circumstances are right; the cost always falls on the living; and you can use it, but you have to keep an account. He thought he had simply taken on a job he shouldn't have, until he discovered that someone was using corpses as vessels to mass-produce doubles. Every vessel bore a technique he hadn't used in three years. It was left behind by his former colleague. She died three years ago at the hands of that very thing. And he was the last person to send her out on a job.
