I Deliver Food in the County Town, and the Customers Are Not Human Beings

On the day he was laid off, Zhou Bai felt that his life had hit rock bottom. In the first week after returning to his hometown of Qingshi County to deliver food, he found that he could still go one step further - at 11 o'clock in the night, the system sent him an order of spicy hotpot delivered to the funeral home. The consignee's surname was Zhang, and the note read, "Hurry, it won't taste good when it gets cold." Zhou Bai arrived at the door of the Farewell Hall No. 3. A bloodless hand stretched out from the crack of the door, took the Malatang, and said: "Thank you, set the chopsticks, I will eat right away." From then on, various strange orders began to appear in Zhou Bai's rider backstage: fried rice noodles under the third pier of the moat, plain noodles in the side hall of the Chenghuang Temple, and Lao Liu's barbecue in front of the stone gate of the abandoned warehouse. He originally wanted to uninstall the rider software and leave, but every time he canceled an order, his right eye would sting sharply—the thin golden line that the doctor had diagnosed as "congenital heterochromia iridis" since childhood was expanding inch by inch. And every ghost customer who completes an order will leave the same sentence after the five-star review: "On December 15th, the door will open. You are the gatekeeper." Only then did Zhou Bai learn that there was a stone door from the Southern Song Dynasty buried underground in Qingshi County, leading to another world. The gatekeepers have been passed down from generation to generation by the three families of Zhou, Su and Chen. In this generation, they are Zhou Bai, bookstore owner Su Wan, and funeral parlor undertaker Lao Chen. But sixty years ago, Zhou Bai's great-grandfather used his right eye to get the stone door that was about to be fully opened stuck in a small crack - stuck for a full sixty years. On December 15th of this year, Carmen's time limit expired. If no one completes the door closing ceremony by then, the stone gate will be completely opened.
