[Late at night, a death countdown pops up on my phone. The caller ID says it’s my own corpse.]
Cheng Yu discovers that everyone who receives this call dies mysteriously within 72 hours. Then he answers it himself and hears a chilling warning from the other end: You’re next.
When he’s out of options, his phone suddenly goes black. When it lights up again, a blood-red app has appeared on the screen: [Ghost Threat Alert] [Spectral Object Scanner] [Lifespan Top-Up].
Other people are hunted by vengeful ghosts and wail for their mothers. Cheng Yu simply opens his phone and scans the shadow of a ghost:
“Insufficient balance? Then I’ll use your life to top it up!”
The ghost calls are no longer deadly. They’ve become his secret to making a fortune. The midnight ghost ringtone? That means my takeout is here.
