Lin Du is a 24-year-old delivery rider in Jiangcheng.
He has no supernatural powers and no connections, just a gravely ill mother, an electric bike with a dying battery, and a pile of deductions, complaints, and payment reminders.
Then, one stormy midnight, beside the memorial photos of dead riders on the wall of an old delivery station, he finds an unclaimed phone.
A delivery order pops up on the screen.
Delivery address: Jiangcheng Hospital, basement level 18, bed 13.
Order note: Don’t let it eat hot food.
Lin Du thinks it’s a prank, until he sees a corpse sit up in the morgue and demand to be fed. After the meal box is chilled in a cold-storage unit, a black document appears beneath it.
A death certificate, ten years overdue.
It turns out some people refuse to die while still alive, some die without being entered into the records, some buy their way out of death, and some make the innocent take their place.
From then on, Lin Du is forced to become a night-shift rider for the Netherworld Delivery Platform.
Malicious reviewers can’t tear up their redemption bills. Greedy relatives pressure children into accepting deliveries willingly. On the 444 last bus, a life-buying broker poses as a ghost. A rich young heir hires a lawyer to accept his death certificate on his behalf.
A lawyer can accept documents for someone else, but not their guilt.
Riding his electric bike through hospitals, old residential blocks, bus terminals, the kitchens of the wealthy, and the back doors of funeral homes, Lin Du delivers one rejected measure of justice after another to the people responsible.
Documents from the underworld, testimony from the dead, evidence from the living.
Once all three have been delivered
Refusal is invalid.
The story is particularly novel and the plot is exciting
