On Ye Zhang’s first day in Guangji, he landed a big job.
At ten in the evening, he had to clean an old house buried deep in the urban village, untouched for more than ten years.
Ye Zhang rolled up his sleeves and got to work, only for an ancient book caked in blood to smack him on the head.
A low voice came from inside the book.
“Young man, what is your wish?”
Oh no. He’d run into something supernatural.
Good thing he was here to clean.
So Ye Zhang shook out the blood-smeared pages and casually picked up a bottle of disinfectant.
The blood-red pages fluttered. When Ye Zhang came to, everything around him was dark red, as if he’d entered another world. At its center sat a head covered in blood.
Ye Zhang rushed over and, with a swipe of his rag, wiped the blood clean off the head.
“Do you wish to have your desire fulfilled?”
The head opened eyes sealed shut by blood. “As long as you...”
“No, thank you.” Ye Zhang tossed the rag into his bucket. “I’ve got two more jobs tomorrow. I’m busy.”
From then on, Ye Zhang’s job app started sending him to all sorts of hellish locations: an abandoned hospital, Echo Alley, a mirrored attic...
Every job was life-threatening.
He came back alive from every one.
Ye Zhang: I get that you want to scare me, but could you cut out the fancy tricks? Blood handprints on the wall are a nightmare to clean!
Wenren Du: You wouldn’t understand. It’s about atmosphere.
Ye Zhang: Oh, and you. I have to ask, what happened to everything below your neck?
Wenren Du: Don’t ask. It’s indescribable.
