A heavy rain tore through the night. The deliveryman Su Li took the order and went to Room 304 of the Rebirth Community, only to find that it was a death invitation soaked in human blood - the ghost of the charred nurse was wrapped around the bloody wooden chopsticks demanding her life, and the dashboard of the electric car flashed a death countdown of "24 hours remaining life". As the investigation deepens, he is shocked to discover the terrifying connection between his mother and the 1998 elevator shaft space-time experiment, and that he is actually the space-time anchor of genetic cloning!
The bloody orders at the Yin Yang takeout station, the time and space cracks in the elevator shaft, and the death loop of the 12 takeaways, all the layers of conspiracies point to the truth of human experiments concealed by the platform algorithm. When Su Li inserted the wooden chopsticks into the core of time and space, he not only had to fight for his life against the soul-devouring afterlife system, but also had to face the truth of the existence that his mother had exchanged for her soul - the devil's contract signed in the elevator that night was actually a devil's contract to exchange the child's life for his own survival!
The novel perfectly combines the alienation anxiety of the food delivery industry with the horror of Cthulhu-style time and space. In the collision of genetic cloning and the curse of ghosts, it questions the ethics of technology and the bottom line of human nature: When orders become time bait, are we food delivery people or captive prey?
