An unemployed food delivery worker received an errand running software that could not be uninstalled: orders for living people earn cash, orders for dead people earn money.
At 2:17 in the morning, Chen Mo received an errand order with a delivery fee of 800 yuan.
The pickup location was the No. 7 Funeral Home in the city that had been out of service for ten years, but the recipient was an old lady who lived alone and was buried just three days ago.
There are only five sentences in the order remarks:
1. After entering the door, do not look in the mirror.
2. When you hear someone calling your name, don't look back.
3. The meal must be delivered before the incense burns out.
4. If the recipient says that the rice is cold, run away immediately.
5. No matter what you see, don't open the door for her.
Chen Mo wanted to cancel the order, but found a line of small words written next to the cancel button:
If a rider cancels, three years will be deducted from his lifespan.
From that night on, abandoned hospitals, the last bus at midnight, photo studios that only opened on rainy days, old buildings without thirteen floors... After the city fell asleep, Chen Mo began to run errands for those guests who were "inconvenient to show up".
Later he discovered that every bizarre legend in this city was an old order that no one dared to take.
And his father has been missing from the same order for fifteen years.
