Hong Kong Island.

Familiar Hong Kong Island, familiar taste.

Su Yi carried a heavy suitcase in his right hand, a wooden box full of sundries in his left arm, and a white cloth bag with various props on his back.

He stood in front of the towering dilapidated building, and a dilapidated bus behind him had just left and entered the winding mountain road shaded by dense forests.

The mountain wind was bleak and cold, and the mist was filled; the shadows of the trees swayed and rustled.

Several lines of crows were calling in a disorderly manner, circling and dancing around the building.

The sky was extremely gloomy, with leaden clouds covering the roof as if pressing down on it.

The humid and hot air seemed to indicate the coming of a storm.

2003.

Autumn.

Su Yi looked up at the towering building in front of him, and felt a strange feeling of walking into the dusty years.

When he entered this world, he was on a moving bus. At that time, the surrounding environment was still a bustling modern neighborhood, which formed a sharp contrast with the dilapidated and desolate here.

This is obviously also Hong Kong Island, but it is like a corner abandoned and forgotten by the world for decades.

Neon lights, asphalt roads, numerous shops, crowded crowds...

None of them have anything to do with this place.

There are only peeling walls, damp and dirty cement roads, messy lines, and dirty and filthy environment.

Quiet.

The quietness is a bit depressing.

Perhaps what is also depressing is the building in front of him that is as eerie and strange as a dark cloud.

This is a dilapidated building that makes anyone feel decayed and ominous, and makes people want to stay away from it subconsciously.

But Su Yi cannot stay away, because his first task is to live in a long-abandoned haunted house in this building.

This is the first time that Su Yi has participated in a performance as a first-line actor and as the protagonist.

The character he replaced was named Qian Xiaohao, a well-known action movie star in the 1980s, who was once very popular with "Mr. Zombie".

It's a pity that the Hong Kong film industry later produced shoddy products without restraint, which quickly led to the desperate situation of zombie-type films. Qian Xiaohao's glory was gone, and he gradually declined, and finally even fell into the dilemma of having no movies to shoot.

When people are poor, they are sad. Qian Xiaohao, who has passed middle age, has experienced ups and downs and it is difficult to restore his former glory. He himself has also developed bad habits such as alcoholism and gambling. Since then, he has fallen into the abyss and there is no possibility of turning over.

Not long ago, his ex-wife and son died in an accident. The grief-stricken Qian Xiaohao fell into deep despair. He sold his house and car, paid off all his debts, and then chose to exile himself and returned to the public housing building where he was born.

He did not come here to find his roots, nor to escape from the world.

He just wanted to end up where he came from.

He wanted to commit suicide to end his miserable life.

According to the original plot, his suicide was naturally unsuccessful.

He was first possessed by two evil spirits in Room 2442, and then rescued by a hermit who lived in this housing estate. Later, he joined forces with this hermit to eliminate an evil and bloodthirsty zombie.

Su Yi came to this building six months earlier than the original plot. In fact, he had six months of preparation time and there was no need to rush to move in.

But Su Yi felt that if he wanted to complete the performance task better, he had to enter the "scene" in advance.

This was his first film as a first-line actor. Naturally, he didn't want to mess it up, so of course he had to be extra careful.

Of course there was danger, and it was not small.

But Su Yi was mentally prepared for the danger. He knew very well that from the moment he was promoted to a first-line actor, he had walked out of the "novice village" and passed the "novice protection period".

This dangerous reincarnation game has just begun to reveal its hideous true face.

He can't look back, he can only go on.

He has also seen the fate of those negative actors with his own eyes.

Fortunately, Su Yi has won very favorable conditions for himself, such as death-free cards and good resources.

The film "Zombie" is of course a good resource, because there is Maoshan law here, and Su Yi can learn the method of catching ghosts and transcending here.

After becoming a first-line actor, you can choose one of three films for each performance, and choose the film you want to complete from three films.

In addition, Su Yi also won five high-quality film sources for the Best Actor Award.

So for a long time, Su Yi didn't have to worry about having to enter some "garbage studios" with only dangers and no benefits.

The three films for Su Yi to choose from this time are "Office Ghost", "Final Destination 1" and "Zombie", which are the sources of 032 director's own films. After weighing the pros and cons, Su Yi decided not to waste his five sources, but directly choose "Zombie".

Although the danger of the performance of first-line actors has been estimated, the difficulty and danger of the three performance tasks still make Su Yi feel awe-inspiring.

Let's not talk about the last two tasks, just talk about the first task - move into the 2442 haunted house and commit suicide once.

Is this a task that ordinary people can complete?

2442There is a pair of twin ghosts, very powerful, even the hermit master is reluctant to provoke them easily.

If Su Yi moves in, it means that he will live and eat with the twin female ghosts every day, which is very uncomfortable for anyone.

Not to mention, he is going to hang himself in the house.

In the original plot, Qian Xiaohao was saved by the hermit master and saved his life.

But now it is Su Yi, he dares to gamble with his life, will the master come to save him by chance?

Of course, with Su Yi's current ability, even if he really hangs himself, it is difficult to hang himself to death.

Su Yi can even hold his breath and put himself into a state of suspended animation.

But if he uses martial arts, will it still be considered "suicide"?

Su Yi thinks that the director is likely not to let him take this shortcut.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

A flock of crows flew over Su Yi's head, interrupting his meditation.

Su Yi took a deep breath and strode forward.

After passing a dilapidated and desolate stone road, Su Yi entered the patio of the building through a dark doorway.

It was cramped, depressing, humid, and had a very unpleasant smell.

This smell is common in many elderly people, and some elderly people's homes have this smell.

It's just that the smell here is stronger and more unpleasant.

Since the 1980s, Hong Kong Island has entered a period of rapid development. The city is known as the "Four Asian Tigers", with a booming economy and a changing urban appearance.

The rapid development has brought many opportunities to create wealth. The myths of Diaosi counterattacks and overnight wealth have been constantly staged in this city, attracting young people to rush to the prosperous areas of the city.

So remote public housing estates like this have become unpopular. Only the elderly who can't keep up with social changes, a few left-behind children, and the poor and destitute lower-class people are left behind.

It is precisely because of this that Su Yi walked all the way from the patio to the elevator without meeting a single living person.

It was afternoon now, and most old people had the habit of taking a nap.

However, there should be a row of shops at the back of this building. Su Yi was very sharp-eyed and could faintly hear a slight noise coming from the back of the building.

In addition, he heard a child seemed to be running towards this side.

Su Yi took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on the last call record.

The call was quickly connected, and an old voice came from the other side: "Hello? Mr. Qian?"

"I'm here." Su Yi said.

According to the plot setting, he had already called the manager of this building before coming here.

However, he just passed the gatehouse on the other side of the doorway and saw that the door was locked from the outside, and there was no one inside.

"Oh, sorry, then you go upstairs directly and we will meet at the door of the room." The old man on the other end of the phone said.

"Okay." Su Yi hung up the phone.

"Boom..."

The old elevator swayed and stopped on the first floor and opened the door.

The space in the elevator was not small, the light was pale, and there was a handrail specially installed for the elderly.

Su Yi walked in and pressed the button for the 24th floor. Just as he was about to close the door, he suddenly changed his expression and blocked the elevator door with his arm.

A few seconds later, a child with a head full of light yellow hair ran over.

His skin was sickly white, which was a very obvious symptom of albinism.

His soft long hair covered his eyes, making it difficult to see his eyes.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Yi for the first time, but soon ran into the elevator and stood in the other corner panting.

Su Yi pressed the door closing button, and the elevator door slowly closed and began to tremble upward.

The slightly shaking elevator made people suspect that it would fall at any time.

"Which floor?" Su Yi turned around and asked the child.

The child lowered his head and didn't speak, as if he didn't hear.

Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead and face, his body trembled slightly, his fists clenched, and he looked very nervous.

He was wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt, blue shorts, and a pair of patched sneakers.

Although his clothes were worn out, they were very clean and tidy.

It can be seen that his family members are taking good care of him.

Su Yi stared at him for a while and didn't ask him any more questions.

The elevator fell into a very strange silence, only the elevator "squeaked" up.

At a certain moment, the elevator stopped at the 24th floor, and the elevator door just opened a crack, and the child ran out.

When Su Yi walked out of the elevator, the child had already run to the other side of the corridor.

When passing by a door, he suddenly jumped up and slapped a bell hanging in the corridor with his hand.

Dangdang...

The crisp bell sounded in the courtyard, and with the sound of "flapping" wings, more than a dozen crows screamed "caa ca" and rushed into the sky.

The crows kept coming, and the child had disappeared into a small alley.

Su Yi faintly heard the muttering or cursing of the elderly in several rooms in the corridor, as if they were dissatisfied with someone disturbing their peace.

Su Yi walked forward along the corridor, determined his destination according to the order of the house numbers, and soon turned into the alley where the child disappeared just now.

A musty smell hit his nose, and the dark and long corridor was surrounded by gray and uneven cement surfaces. The messy pipes made the narrow and narrow space even more crowded.

The doors on both sides of the corridor were installed with iron grilles, making this place look more like a prison cell.

Su Yi stepped forward and soon stopped in front of a door.

The chain lock was wrapped around the iron grille for several times, and a rusty lock was hung on it. The door was covered with dust and looked dilapidated.

However, the most eye-catching thing was a faded talisman paper pasted on the door panel.

The mottled talisman paper was difficult to distinguish its original color, but the runes on it could still be vaguely seen. There seemed to be a "鎭" character in the middle, and the surrounding area was full of strange symbols composed of dots and lines .

Su Yi had specially learned about Taoist talismans and knew that this kind of rune was called Yunzhuan, which was said to be a heavenly book revealed by the gods, and was also a talisman made by Taoist sages to imitate the changing shapes of clouds in the sky or ancient seal characters.

The procedure for drawing talismans is very complicated, the method is also very cumbersome, and it is very particular about the form and steps. A slight mistake can lead to a thousand miles of error, and there can be no mistakes at all.

Even through the door panel, Su Yi felt a sense of creepiness in his heart.

But Su Yi knew that this was not because of ghosts, but more of a psychological effect.

After all, he was sure that there were ghosts in this room, and they were two powerful ghosts.

Su Yi felt stressed when he thought that he would have to be with these two ghosts for a long time.

Footsteps were heard at the end of the corridor, accompanied by the crisp sound of keys colliding.

Soon a figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Hey! Come on, come on!" The man saw Su Yi and ran towards this side in small steps, waving from a distance.

He looked old and frail, but he ran very fast and his voice was very loud.

He held a key chain and a pack of incense in one hand and an apple in the other.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, hehe..." When he got closer, he smiled and apologized, "I was so busy eating that I forgot the appointment time."

"It's okay." Su Yi said.

He was cautious in his words and deeds, and he didn't smile.

He is now a frustrated middle-aged man who has lost his wife and children, and his actions must be as consistent as possible with his personality.

Without saying a word, the old man put the apple on the wooden box held by Su Yi, and then began to look for the key to open the door.

Su Yi looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Are you Uncle Yan?"

Uncle Yan opened the door and smiled without turning his head, saying, "At first, they all called me old man when they came in and out, but as time went by, they all called me Uncle Yan. It doesn't matter, just call me whatever you want."

As he spoke, he had already unlocked the door. When he took off the iron chain, it made a loud noise. The sound of metal collision echoed in the long corridor, which sounded very harsh.

"Uncle Yan, are you the only administrator here?" Su Yi asked again.

Swish...

Uncle Yan pushed the iron grille door aside with all his strength. The rusted iron door made a sharp sound, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Who else can it be besides me?" Uncle Yan smiled and turned around.
