I'm a deliveryman.
That rainy night, the app suddenly updated with the “Special Delivery Rules.”
[Rule One: For every minute a special order is late, one year of your life will be deducted. The penalty stacks.]
[Rule Two: If the order notes say “Don't look back,” you absolutely must not look back at any point during the delivery.]
[Rule Three: If a customer gives you a “bad review,” you will be executed immediately.]
I thought it was a prank.
Until I watched another deliveryman turn into a pool of black water right in front of me.
He was three minutes late.
My phone buzzed with a new order.
Address: Crematorium, Furnace Three.
Payment: 1,000 yuan.
Time remaining: 12 minutes.
My daughter was still waiting for me to pay her medical bills in the ICU.
I looked in the rearview mirror.
A woman in red was sitting in the back seat.
Her face was pressed against the glass.
I twisted the throttle.
From that day on, I became a ferryman, traveling between the worlds of the living and the dead.
P.S. If you also deliver food in the dead of night, remember:
Never accept an order whose number ends in 4.
Never.
