Professional phone scammers unwittingly dial a number and activate an automated execution service: Someone must die—either the target, or the caller.

SYNOPSIS:

They were the invisible ghosts of the digital world. This team, who committed telephone fraud, mesmerized people with their voices, emptied their accounts, and left no trace behind. For them, this job was not a crime, but rather a harmless computer game they played with arrogance.

Until that weird number appeared on the call list.

It did not look like an ordinary phone number. It was just sitting on the call list... Defeated by their curiosity and self-confidence, they dialed that number.

When the phone was put on speaker, instead of the naive human voice they expected, a mechanical answering machine turned the air to ice:

"Welcome to the Murder Center. Please enter the Social Security Number of your target..."

Laughter broke out in the room. "Someone set up a prank line!" they mocked. Anyway, it was just empty fun...

There was one thing they did not know: That line could not be called by mistake. Once connected, the system automatically treated you as a client. If you failed to provide a target, you became one. Right at that moment, thinking it was all a joke, one of them entered their own teammate's social security number...

The automated voice cold-bloodedly responded: "Target accepted. Elimination in progress."

They laughed it off, hung up, and went back to work. But that evening, the moment they stepped outside, a sniper bullet tore through the sky—taking out their friend in seconds.

Covered in blood and sheer terror, they retreated back inside. Moments later, the desk phone rang. It was not a threat; it was a cold, automated invoice confirmation. The execution was complete, and a $400,000 fee was now billed to the caller.

There was no customer service, no human operator to explain the mistake to, and absolute zero room for negotiation. The system only recognized data and settlement.

Failing to pay wouldn't cancel the debt—it simply designated the caller as the next target, transferring the outstanding bill and the sniper's crosshairs to their closest living contact. Any new attempt to call or provide another target without settling the balance would only add another $400,000 fee to the running total.

Now, trapped in an escalating nightmare, the surviving crew must either raise the cash or outrun an automated death machine that will keep hunting down every single person in their chain of contacts until the debt is paid.

The line is active. The invoice is generated. And the system always collects.
