Chapter 1: Death Agency
It was a dimly lit abandoned factory, horribly dark, except for a hanging screen that shimmered.
On the screen, a bus drove through the street and slammed into a truck transporting steel bars in front of it, and then, the two cars rolled violently onto the sidewalk on the side of the street, making a huge roaring sound, the steel bars on the truck were scattered, mercilessly piercing into the bus, and in a moment, the bus screamed loudly, and the red blood continued to gush out from the bottom of the car.
Mo Bai looked at this qiΔ, his face was extremely pale, and he showed no blood.
"Remember?"
Sen Leng's voice sounded behind Mo Bai, under the black shadow, there was a "click" footsteps, and the man in the cloak walked out of the darkness, wearing a silver-white skull mask on his face, under the black seal, it was weird and terrifying.
Mo Bai's voice trembled slightly, looked at the screen and said, "I remember that bus, I was on it!"
The masked skeleton nodded, "Yes." β
Mo Bai said: "I'm already dead?"
The masked skeleton said, "Yes, you're dead. β
Mo Bai turned around, looked at the silver-white skull mask, and said with some palpitations: "Who are you?"
The masked skeleton said, "Some people call me the Grim Reaper, some people call me Hades, in fact, they are all the same, the name is just a convenient code name. β
Mo Bai said: "Then am I a ghost now?"
The masked skeleton shook his head and said, "It depends on how you choose, do you remember why you got into the car and why you got into the car accident?"
Mo Bai stroked his forehead, showing some pain, and some pictures flashed in his head.
"A thief, a thief. Mo Bai raised his head and said: "I saw a thief, he stole his wallet and got on the bus, I wanted to catch him, so I followed, and then there was a quarrel in the car, the thief squeezed through the crowd and wanted to get off, the driver refused to open the door, so he grabbed the driver's collar, and then ...... A lot of blood...... I remember, I remember, I'm really dead. β
Maybe it was the fear of death, Mo Bai couldn't help but forget the memory of the car accident, and it wasn't until the guidance of the mask skeleton that Mo Bai completely remembered the whole thing, he was very sure that he was dead, and he watched the steel pierce the glass, coming towards him, and piercing his chest.
The masked skeleton nodded, and then said, "Keep looking at the screen." β
Mo Bai raised his head, the picture played on the screen has changed, the thief in his memory walked on the bus, quietly approached a middle-aged woman, cut the woman's purse with a blade, and carefully pulled the wallet out of the gap, but at this moment, the middle-aged woman happened to turn around, happened to see the thief holding her wallet, and immediately screamed, stretched out her hand and scratched the thief's faceγ
A tragic car accident happened again.
Mo Bai was puzzled: "This is ......"
The mask skeleton said: "This is the real history, even if you didn't catch up with the car at that time and expose the thief, the thief would have been caught stealing again, and then hit the driver, and the car accident was caused, and the twenty-eight passengers in the whole car, including the driver, all of them would have died in the car accident, but, you appeared, although the car accident also happened, but history changed, there were six people on that bus who survived, and you didn't deserve to die, but you died because of the car accident, now let me ask you, do you want to live?"
Mo Bai's eyes suddenly lit up, the gloom on his face gradually faded a little, and he said excitedly: "Can I really survive?"
The mask skeleton said: "When everyone is born and when they die, these are all fates, but there are also accidents in fate, such as you shouldn't have died in a car accident, but you really died, so, I am willing to give you a chance to live again, as long as you can do what I want you to do, you can survive." β
Mo Bai said: "What do you need me to do?"
The masked skeleton said, "Have you seen a movie called "The Grim Reaper"?"
Mo Bai nodded.
The masked skeleton said: "Just like the theory in the movie, the people who should die should not be alive, even if they survive because of an accident, they must be allowed to die, and there should not be survivors in this car accident, but because of your appearance, there are six more survivors, what you need to do is to let those six people die." β
Mo Bai's lips trembled lightly and said, "You want me to kill someone?"
"Those who should have died, they naturally shouldn't live anymore, and they can't talk about killing. The masked skeleton looked at Mo Bai and said: "This is the job of the god of death, the only way you want to live is to become the agent of the god of death, naturally you have to take over these jobs, if you don't want to, then, I can only say sorry to you, although your death is an accident, I can't bring you back from the dead." β
Mo Bai said: "Even if I have the courage, I have to become a nationally wanted criminal, and it is better to live than to die." β
The masked skeleton said: "There are only six people alive in this car accident, as long as those six people die, history will return to normal, they will die normally because of the car accident, and no one will know what you have done." β
Mo Bai hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth as if he was ruthless, did he have a choice? No one likes to welcome death.
"I do. Mo Bai said: "I am willing to become a god of death agent." β
The mask skeleton suddenly walked towards Mo Bai, making Mo Bai feel a trace of pressure, but unexpectedly, the mask skeleton just placed its palm on the top of Mo Bai's head.
Immediately after, Mo Bai saw a faint blue light appear in front of his eyes, slowly condensing into words.

The masked skeleton said: " This is your message, human beings can't see it, only the god of death and the agent of death can see it, when there is a person who should have died, but because of an accident did not die, the god of death will issue a task, if you complete the task, you can continue to keep the identity of the agent of death, if you fail the mission, then you will be deprived of the rights of the agent of death, and because you have died, so, when you are deprived of the identity of the agent of death, you will die of natural causes, in addition, if you reveal anything related to death or the agent of death, you will also die of natural deathγ β
Mo Bai glanced at the bottom of the information and said, "What does the Death Reaper's Treasury mean?"
The mask skeleton said: "That's the props needed to kill people, you can buy them with the dark coins you hold, there are a total of six layers, and they are gradually opened according to your table, and the price of the props is gradually becoming more expensive per layer, of course, the use effect is also proportional to the price." β
Mo Bai said: "Is 75,000 a little less?"
Under the mask of the skeleton, a strange smile came out, and the mask skeleton said: "Becoming a Death Agent is to start from scratch, but your death is an accident, not that you voluntarily became a Death Agent, in order to express my apologies, I will subsidize you some, and I think that for now, 75,000 should be enough for you." β
Mo Bai looked at the murderous props listed and felt that the mask skeleton was not wrong, there were not too many props in the Death Treasury on the first floor, and the props that cost a lot of money, Mo Bai really didn't have the courage to buy them, so he said that the 100,000 clay explosives were not terrorists, and the invisible cutting line didn't know what to do, but the medicine for heart failure was very good, but unfortunately, he couldn't afford it.
The masked skeleton said, "Do you have any questions?"
Mo Bai thought for a while, and then confirmed: "My task now is to kill six people who did not die in the car accident, if I can't do it within 1200 hours, I will be killed, if I want others to mention what happened to me, whether the other party believes it or not, I will also be killed, is that what it means?"
The masked skeleton said, "It was a natural death, not a killing, and no science could detect something strange." β
"Understood. Mo Bai's expression was a little heavy, and then he became firm again, and nodded fiercely: "I have no other problems." β
"Well, good luck. The masked skeleton reached out again and pressed it on Mo Bai's forehead, and said softly, "Finally, I will give you a JianyΓ¬, and let the target die as unexpectedly as possible, instead of using violence, such a choice will be beneficial to you." β
