Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 1

Terminal

This year in Dongcheng was much hotter than previous years. 

It was only early June, yet people had already changed into summer clothing. 

The bus was overcrowded with people. If one didn’t turn their head carefully, there was the chance of almost kissing ten people in the face.

Everyone wore light and cool clothing, but even then they still felt that the heat was unbearable. Amidst the moving mob of heads, the man with sunglasses, wearing long sleeves and long pants, particularly stood out. 

He wore a thick, out-of-season suit, tightly wrapped up from head to toe. He held a briefcase under his arm as well as a long black umbrella in his hand. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary office worker. 

From time to time he lowered his head to glance at his watch, then up at the road blocked by traffic in front of him, his face anxious.  

As the capital of China, Dongcheng drew in a large population of people. Even though the Number Limit Policy had been implemented for a long time, traffic congestion remained a part of the norm. This man had been stuck on the road for half an hour. The cars in front stayed motionless. Looking out towards the sea of cars, it was impossible to see the other end.

[Ding dong, your client is about to ascend to heaven, please do not be late.]

A new message popped up on his phone, reminding the man to pay attention to the time.

As a grim reaper who guided the dead, punctuality was the first principle of professional conduct. 

He took out his phone and tapped open the [Grim Reaper Delivery] app. The words ‘Sexy Grim Reaper, Receiving Orders Online’ popped up on the login page. 

He then tapped ‘my orders’, and saw that his client’s dark energy was continuously filling up. There was clearly not much time left. 

“If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have snatched this order, if something goes wrong I’ll lose this month’s pay raise.” As the man in sunglasses complained, he frantically tried to think of a solution.

He opened up WeChat and sent a message to his pinned contact: ‘Xu ge could you help me receive a person, I’m stuck in traffic again.’ 

“…”

The other side seemed used to this, and casually returned a line of text: ‘Location of death, client’s information.’

‘Thank you, Xu ge!’ 

After seeing Lu Xu’s reply, the man finally released a breath of relief and hurriedly sent over the client information and location.

“Open City Internet Cafe…” Lu Xu finished confirming the message and stepped on the skateboard. After the tall figure stepped on the skateboard, the trees and cars quickly rushed behind him. The wind swept past his ears, bringing a hissing faint chill. 

Near the corner, a short-haired girl carrying her phone suddenly rushed out to cross the street. Fortunately, Lu Xu reacted quickly and jerked to a halt. 

“Are you okay?” 

“Okay…” The girl lifted her head to gaze into a pair of watery peach blossom eyes and she blushed. 

“Don’t play with your phone when crossing the street.” Lu Xu quirked his lips and tilted his head, saying with a faint smile, “Otherwise I’ll have to work an extra job.”
