The day I was laid off, I had an extra APP on my phone.
The icon is a black van named "Mo".
It doesn't take takeout or deliver express - it takes orders from dead people.
The first order: Deliver a bowl of plain noodles to a deceased old lady.
Upon completion, I gained her thirty years of pastry skills. Permanent.
Second order: Go to the underground parking lot to pick up a USB flash drive. Cause of client's death: homicide.
Reward: Close Combat·Advanced.
The third order: attend a high-end dinner party and find out who is lying.
Reward: Micro-expression analysis·Advanced.
Every time I fulfill a deceased person's last wish, I permanently gain one of their best skills during their lifetime.
Cooking noodles, fighting, reading minds, foreign languages, driving, hacking, first aid...
With more and more skills, the list becomes more and more dangerous.
There is only one rule - reject the order three times or suffer cardiac arrest.
I thought it was just me.
Until the system told me: There are currently seven active runners.
One of them was less than ten meters away from me.
