Taking the night shift routine of a food delivery rider as a shell, and putting it on a weird abyss delivery system, it is a short story about urban ghost stories that is full of atmosphere. The rules of survival are bound to the positive score, and 4.7 Is the erasure threshold. Every order contains taboos about life and death: the mirror on the 7.5Th floor, the chalk circle in the abandoned elementary school, the cigarettes in the barber shop. The order notes are the only creed to save life. Real life and supernatural dungeons run parallel to each other. The protagonist has to run the ordinary morning and afternoon rush hour to earn living expenses, while at the same time he has to step into the twisted space to complete the fatal system dispatch. There is no big fight against monsters, but the sense of oppression comes from the details: strange addresses, ambiguous warnings, customers who look like humans but not humans, and the rider's comments with black humor. The tension is interspersed with a little cold humor to relieve the horror and add to the chill. The delivery is takeout, and the stakes are lives. Behind every five-star review is a narrow escape.
