Even the Ghost King Has to Deliver Takeout

1.

After being locked away in prison for tens of thousands of years, Xie Yuan opened his eyes to find himself suddenly transported from the Ghost Prison to human society. It seemed he had possessed a young man who looked almost exactly like him.

Looking at the bizarre formation drawn in blood beneath the young man, the Ghost King, who had nearly torn the heavens open tens of thousands of years ago, fell silent.

First, may the overseer far away bear witness: he did not break out of prison and cause trouble of his own accord. Second, do you humans really get up to this kind of thing these days?

Once he recovered from his shock, Xie Yuan discovered something even more terrifying than being forced to break the law while serving his sentence: he had lost contact with the body he was imprisoned in...

The original owner's soul had vanished completely, and no matter how he tried, he couldn't call it back. It hadn't even left him any memories or information.

With no way to return for now, Xie Yuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and adapt to this unfamiliar society.

Step one in adapting to human society: fill the stomach that had regained its hunger after entering a human body.

Prerequisite for step one in adapting to human society: deal with the blond human in front of him, who had no idea what he was getting into and was trying to rob him.

So the Ghost King robbed the blond who had tried to rob him, and came away with some mysterious two-wheeled contraption.

At just the right moment, a voice rang out from the young man's phone:

"Congratulations! You have successfully registered as a delivery rider!"

"You have a new delivery order. Would you like to accept it?"

Xie Yuan: ?

Ten minutes after returning to human society, the principle of more work, more pay; less work, less pay; no work, no pay, had sunk deep into the Ghost King's heart.

3.

Once he started working, Xie Yuan could only feel that he still knew far too little about humans.

The customer for his first delivery was a cult member trying to summon an evil god through a blood sacrifice in a run-down apartment building.

The customer for his second delivery was perfectly normal. It was just that the ghostly atmosphere on the film set where they were shooting made the Ghost King feel embarrassingly ignorant.

The customer for his third delivery nearly got dragged underwater by a water ghost right before his eyes.

The fourth...

The fifth...

Good grief, just how much resentment do you humans have? Why are there ghosts everywhere?!

The Anomalous Affairs Bureau suddenly got a new director and a new device for detecting ghostly energy. The imposing new director and the device, which screeched at the slightest sign and was incredibly sensitive, came as a relief to the members, who had been overwhelmed with work lately.

At the latest reported incident scene, the device detected traces of two different ghostly auras. The weaker one had been swallowed by the one belonging to a Ghost King.

Team member: Just as you'd expect from a new device. It works great! It solved the mystery we'd been agonizing over these past few days with ease. So the little ghost was...

Team member: Wait, why is there a Ghost King here?! We're doomed!

Talk about starting on nightmare difficulty.

Even worse, the sensitive device now began shrieking excitedly, indicating that the Ghost King's aura was drawing closer and closer.

As the device's alarm blared into the sky and everyone's nerves reached their breaking point, an electric scooter sped right up to them.

The Ghost King climbed off the humble scooter with a threatening air.

The Ghost King narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth, ready to eat someone.

The Ghost King said:

"Phone number ending in... 0317. Who ordered the food?"

Huh?

In the suffocating silence, their newly appointed director calmly stepped forward.

The director said:

"That's mine. Thanks."

Huh?

The stunned team members stared at one another, completely missing the Ghost King's look of utter disbelief.
