The Ox-and-Horse Ferryman

Su Ziye was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and had only three months to live.

A job contract was placed in front of him.

[Underworld Office on Earth · Temporary Special Agent (Contract Worker)]

[Compensation: Paid per assignment, in seconds of life.]

And so Su Ziye became a temporary underworld gofer, repeatedly skirting the boundary between life and death.

Other people caught ghosts with talismans, magic, and righteous virtue.

Su Ziye caught ghosts with AI face-swapping to fulfill their dreams, psychological manipulation, physical exorcism, and... stealing kills from rich heirs.

“Don't tell me how fierce evil ghosts are. Could they be as fiercely broke as I am?”

“As long as you give me enough years of life, I could even talk the King of Hell into tying himself in knots!”
