Synopsis:
As the head of the Soul-Reaping Envoys, Zhong Wuji worked diligently every day, manufacturing accidents to collect the souls of those about to die. He had never made a mistake, until he tripped up on an utterly ordinary day.
The bus, on a countdown to its passengers' deaths, was filled with doomed souls and heading toward the accident site as planned. Just as Zhong Wuji saw his numbers climbing, a clueless young man suddenly appeared halfway along the route.
Yu Boyang, the clueless young man, saw the numbers above the passengers' heads and hurried to tell the driver to stop. As they argued, the bus drew closer and closer to the accident site, and the countdowns above the passengers' heads approached zero. Yu Boyang saw a monster, its whole body hidden in darkness, staring fixedly at the bus in the distance
Zhong Wuji was ready to scoop up the clueless young man, who wasn't on the death list, but the bus suddenly stopped, narrowly missing the time of death he'd planned.
The bridge ahead collapsed with a deafening roar. The passengers stared at the sudden disaster in shock. Only Yu Boyang, who was pretending to have a heart attack, breathed a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, it wasn't over. Not long after he got home, he saw on the news that the bus passengers were dying one by one. Because of his strange behavior, he was taken to the police station for questioning as a suspect, where he saw the monster from the accident scene again.
Yu Boyang's name was clearly written on the death list in the hands of the "monster," Zhong Wuji. Curious, he went to the police station, only to discover that Yu Boyang could actually see him.
With a mind to tease him, he pointed at the glass. Yu Boyang looked to the side, his face full of suspicion
A ten-day countdown had appeared above his head without him noticing!
