An Zhixu lived a steady, ordinary life for twenty-two years, until his senior-year internship completely upended everything.
At first, nothing seemed wrong. There were just strange rustling noises in his rented room from time to time.
He had finally found an internship, but when he showed up for work, the office was empty. The only thing keeping him company was a squeaky fan. His coworkers appeared and disappeared without warning, the boss was nowhere to be seen, and strange talismans were stuck to the office door.
An Zhixu gritted his teeth and stuck it out for a month.
Then one day, the food he ordered arrived with wriggling worms in it. While waiting for the bus, a headless woman asked him for directions.
An Zhixu was not taking it well.
His unsmiling roommate wore a cold expression every day, went half a month without eating, and liked to sleep hanging upside down.
After a long day, all An Zhixu wanted was a good night's sleep.
But nobody told him his roommate would climb into his bed???
An Zhixu was horrified.
Zhou Heng (roommate): I want cold chicken blood salad.
An Zhixu: Get lost.
An Zhixu wanted to drive away the evil spirits, so after a great deal of effort he climbed all the way up to a temple on the mountain and pushed open the door.
A tall, handsome man stood there, dressed in black and holding a folding fan.
Zhou Heng: What a coincidence, young friend. Since fate has brought us together, I'll tell your fortune for free.
Zhou Heng read his career fortune. He said An Zhixu had no future as an accountant and might even end up earning his highest degree in prison. He should work with Zhou Heng instead, earning and spending spirit money.
An Zhixu: ...I'm kind of tempted.
Out of sheer necessity, An Zhixu had to take two jobs, one in the underworld and one in the living world.
An Zhixu: "You have reached the Underworld Inspection Office hotline. How may we help you?"
