Prologue
“Young man, I am Death. Thank you for giving me a pull when I crossed the street just now. Otherwise, I would have been killed in a car accident.”
“What? Sir, are you…serious?”
“Look at my eyes. I can’t be more serious.”
“But you are clearly insulting my intelligence! Will Death also die? Death almost got hit by a car and died when he went through a red light?”
“I don’t blame you for not reading enough. Of course, Death does die too, and if he does, the consequences will be terrible…”
“All right, all right, I believe you. Tell me, then, what will happen?”
“Once Death is dead, there will be no more dead people in this world.”
“Damn, I…should not have pulled you nuts on the zebra crossing just now.”
“I don’t care. I just want to repay you.”
“How are you going to repay me?”
“I’ll give you this phone.”
