Hong Kong Island.
Familiar Hong Kong Island, familiar taste.
Su Yi was carrying a heavy suitcase in his right hand, a wooden box filled with miscellaneous items in his left arm, and a white cloth bag containing various props on his back.
He stood in front of a towering dilapidated building. Behind him, an old bus had just left and entered the winding mountain road hidden by dense forests.
The mountain wind is cold and cold, and the mist is thick; the shadows of the trees are swaying and rustling.
Several rows of ravens cawing chaotically, circling around the building.
The sky was extremely gloomy, and the lead clouds were so dense that they seemed to be pressing tightly on the roof of the building.
The humid and muggy air seems to indicate the coming of a storm.
Year 2003.
Autumn.
Su Yi looked up at the towering building in front of him, and felt a strange feeling in his heart that he had walked into the dusty years.
He was on a moving bus after entering this world. At that time, the surrounding environment was still a noisy and bustling modern neighborhood, which was in sharp contrast to the dilapidated and desolate place.
Obviously this is also Hong Kong Island, but it seems like a corner that has been abandoned and forgotten by the world for decades.
Neon lights, asphalt roads, rows of shops, crowded crowds...
It has nothing to do with this.
Some only have peeling walls, damp and dirty cement roads, messy wiring, and a dirty and dirty environment.
Quiet.
It was so quiet that it was a little depressing.
Perhaps what is depressing is the eerie and eerie building in front of me, like a dark cloud.
This is a dilapidated building that makes anyone look at it and feel a sense of decay and foreboding, making people subconsciously want to stay away.
But Su Yi couldn't stay away, because his first task was to move into a long-abandoned haunted house in this building.
This is Su Yi's first time as a first-line actor, participating in a show as the protagonist.
The character he replaced is named Qian Xiaohao, a well-known action movie star in the 1980s who once became a hit with "Mr. Zombie".
It's a pity that Hong Kong's film industry continued to produce movies without restraint, which quickly put zombie-type films in dire straits. Qian Xiaohao lost his glory and gradually declined, and finally fell into the dilemma of having no films to film.
When people are poor, everything is sad. Qian Xiaohao has experienced ups and downs in his middle age, and it is difficult to regain his former glory. He himself has also become addicted to alcoholism, gambling and other bad habits, and has fallen into the abyss since then, with no possibility of recovery.
Not long ago, his ex-wife and son died in an accident. The grieving Qian Xiaohao fell into deep despair and couldn't help himself. He sold his house and car, paid off all his debts, and then chose to self-exile and returned to the place where he was born. Among public housing buildings.
He didn't come here to find his roots, nor did he come to escape the world.
He just wants to end up wherever he comes from.
He wants to commit suicide and end his miserable life.
According to the original plot development, his suicide was naturally unsuccessful.
He was first possessed by two evil spirits in Room 2442, and then was rescued by an expert hermit who lived in this estate. Later, he joined forces with the expert to eliminate an evil and bloodthirsty zombie.
Su Yi came to this building half a year earlier than in the original plot. In fact, he had half a year to prepare, so there was no need to rush to move in.
But Su Yi felt that if he wanted to complete the performance tasks better, he had to enter the "scene" in advance.
This is his first film as a front-line actor, so he naturally doesn't want to mess it up, and of course he has to work harder.
Of course the danger is there, and it's 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 walked out of the "newbie village" and passed the "newbie protection period."
This dangerous game of reincarnation has just begun to reveal its ferocious true colors.
He couldn't look back, he could only go on.
He has also seen with his own eyes the fate of those passive actors.
Fortunately, Su Yi has obtained very favorable conditions for himself, such as avoiding death cards and good resources.
The movie "Zombie" is certainly a good resource, because the Maoshan method exists here, and Su Yi can learn the method of catching ghosts and salvation 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 the 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 no longer has to worry about having to enter some "junk studios" that are only dangerous and have no profit.
The three films for Su Yi to choose this time are "Office", "Death Comes 1" and "Zombie". These are the film sources owned by director 032. After weighing the pros and cons, Su Yi decided not to waste his own money. Of those five film sources, I directly chose the film "Zombie".
Although he had predicted the dangers of performing for front-line actors, the difficulty and danger of the three performance tasks still made Su Yi feel awe-inspiring.
I won't talk about the last two tasks, but only the first task - move into the haunted house 2442 and commit suicide once.
Is this a task that ordinary people can accomplish?
2442 There is a pair of twin ghosts who are so powerful that even the hermit master is not willing to provoke them easily.
If Su Yi moved in, it would be like living and eating with the twin female ghosts every day, which was very difficult for a person.
Not to mention, he would hang himself in the house.
In the original plot, Qian Xiaohao was rescued by an expert hermit and saved his life.
But now it's Su Yi, if he dares to gamble with his own life, will the master happen to come to save him?
Of course, with Su Yi's current ability, even if he did hang himself, it would be difficult for him to hang himself.
Su Yi even knows Qigong, which allows him to enter a state of suspended animation.
But if he uses martial arts, is it still considered "suicide"?
Su Yi felt that the director would probably not let him take this trick.
"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 bypassing a dilapidated and deserted stone road, Su Yi entered the courtyard of the building through a dark doorway.
It was cramped, depressing, the air was humid, and had a very unpleasant smell.
This smell is found in many elderly people, and some elderly people have this smell in their homes.
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 its economy taking off and the city's appearance changing with each passing day.
The rapid development has brought many opportunities to create wealth. Diaosi counterattacks and the myth of getting rich overnight continue to be performed in this city, attracting young people to rush to the prosperous areas of this city one after another.
As a result, remote public housing estates like this have become unpopular. The only ones left behind are the elderly who cannot keep up with social changes, a few left-behind children, and the poor and down-trodden people.
It was precisely because of this that Su Yi walked all the way from the patio to the elevator without encountering a single living person.
It's afternoon now, and most old people have the habit of taking a nap.
However, there should be a row of shops at the back of this building. Su Yi'er was very smart, and he could faintly hear the slight noise coming from the back of the building.
In addition, he also heard a child who 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, before he came here, he had already had a phone call with the manager of this building.
However, he just passed by the concierge on the other side of the doorway and saw that the door was locked from the outside and there was no one inside.
"Oh, I'm sorry, then you go directly upstairs 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 to a stop on the first floor and opened the door.
The space in the elevator is not small, the lights are pale, and handrails are 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, his expression suddenly changed and he 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 a sickly white color, a clear symptom of albinism.
The soft long hair covered his eyes, making it difficult for people to see his eyes clearly.
The first time he saw Su Yi, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly ran into the elevator and stood panting in the other corner.
Su Yi pressed the door-closing button, and the elevator door slowly closed and began to tremble upward.
The slightly swaying ladder makes people suspect that it will fall at any time.
"Which floor are you going to?" Su Yi turned around and asked the child.
The child lowered his head and said nothing, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Big beads of sweat dripped down from his forehead and face. His body was trembling slightly, his fists were clenched, and he looked very nervous.
He was wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt, blue shorts, and a pair of patched sneakers.
Although the clothes are shabby, they are clean and tidy.
It can be seen that his family takes good care of him.
Su Yi stared at him for a while and didn't ask him again.
There was a strange silence in the elevator, with only the elevator creaking upwards.
At a certain moment, the elevator stopped at the twenty-fourth floor. As soon as the elevator door opened a crack, the child ran out.
By the time Su Yi stepped out of the elevator, the child had already run to the side of the corridor where he turned.
When passing by the door of a house, he suddenly jumped up and slapped a bell hanging in the corridor with his hand.
Danglanglang...
The crisp ringtone echoed in the patio, and with the sound of flapping wings, a dozen crows screamed and rushed into the sky.
The sound of crows continued, and the child had slipped into a small passage and disappeared.
Su Yi faintly heard the old man muttering or cursing from several rooms in the corridor, as if he was dissatisfied that someone was disturbing their tranquility.
Su Yi walked forward along the corridor, determined his destination in order of house numbers, and soon turned into the small alley where the child disappeared just now.
A musty smell assaulted the nostrils, and the long, dark 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 are equipped with iron grilles, making this place look more like a prison cell.
Su Yi stepped forward and soon stopped in front of a room door.
There was a chain lock on the iron grille that went around several times, with a rusty lock hanging on it. The door was dusty and dilapidated.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the faded talisman paper taped to the door panel.
The original color of the mottled rune paper is hard to distinguish, but the runes on it can still be vaguely seen. There seems to be a "鎭" character in the middle, and the surroundings are full of strange symbols composed of dots and lines.
Su Yi specifically learned about Taoist talismans and knew that this type of talisman is called Yunzhuan, which is said to be a heavenly book in which gods appear. It is also a talisman created by Taoist sages to imitate the changing shapes of clouds in the sky or the body of ancient seal scripts.
The procedure of drawing symbols is very complicated, the method is also very complicated, and it pays great attention to the form and steps. The slightest difference can make a difference, and there can be no mistake at all.
Even through the door panel, Su Yi felt a little nervous in his heart.
But Su Yi knew that this was not because of ghosts, but more of a psychological effect.
After all, he was pretty sure that there were ghosts in this room, two very powerful ghosts.
Su Yi felt extremely stressed when he thought that he would have to be with these two evil ghosts for a long time.
The sound of footsteps came from the end of the corridor, accompanied by the crisp sound of keys clinking.
Soon a figure appeared at the end of the corridor.
"Hey! Come on, come on!" When the man saw Su Yi, he ran towards this side in small steps and waved from a distance.
He looks old and decrepit, but he runs like flying and has a loud voice.
Holding a keychain and a packet of incense in one hand, and an apple in the other.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, hehehe..." As he got closer, he smiled and apologized first, "I was only focused on eating and forgot about the scheduled time."
"It's okay." Su Yi said.
He spoke sparingly and did not smile.
He is now a middle-aged frustrated man who has lost his wife and children, and his actions must be as consistent as possible with his character.
Without saying a word, the old man put the apple on the wooden box Su Yi was holding, and then started looking 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 said with a smile without looking back: "At first, they called me uncle 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 unlocked the door and when he took off the chain, he made a loud noise. The sound of metal collision echoed in the long corridor, which was very harsh.
"Uncle Yan, are you the only administrator here?" Su Yi asked again.
Stab...
Uncle Yan pushed the iron grille door aside with all his strength. The rusty iron door made a sharp sound, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Who else could it be besides me?" Uncle Yan turned around with a smile.
