A passerby in a horror movie

An old, U-shaped residential building with mottled walls, resembling the style of Pigsty Alley from the 80s.

A few crows flew over the residential building, their cries sounding somewhat eerie.

Outside the building, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties, wearing sunglasses and looking dejected, dragged a suitcase through the corridor and into the residential building.

The sky was overcast and the surroundings were very quiet.

Not long after the man left, a sudden golden light appeared behind a pillar in the corridor. The golden light transformed into a circular rune, which condensed above to form a figure carrying a backpack.

"I'm... out?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Haotian breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the rune light on the ground that had completely dissipated.

He also has the exact same pattern on his hand!

Although he had been watching for several days, Li Haotian still found it amazing. After all, anyone would be excited if something like this happened to them.

The story begins a few days ago.

Li Haotian was about to graduate from university and was preparing to go out for an internship.

Unexpectedly, he encountered an out-of-control truck on the road, which was rushing towards him and a child.

He stood in front of the child, giving him no chance to dodge. In desperation, he could only push the child, which saved his life.

The moment Li Haotian was hit hard by the truck, he was already prepared to die.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred.

His consciousness was pulled into a special space.

There is only one room, about 100 square meters, which is fully furnished with furniture and food, but outside the door it is pitch black and there is nothing there.

Originally, Li Haotian was full of expectations, thinking that he had a so-called golden finger, but he didn't expect that nothing would happen after he stayed in the room for several days.

He couldn't take it anymore and shouted at the inside and outside of the space for a long time, which led to the change.

A golden light appeared before him, and Li Haotian saw himself lying in a hospital, his fate unknown.

And he also received the message in his mind.

The being who controls the space hopes that he can go to various worlds to accept missions, the benefit of which is that he can recover from physical damage and also receive rewards.

Li Haotian agreed without hesitation, because there was no other choice at all.

So he accepted his first task, which was also an internship. Only after passing the first hurdle could he take on subsequent tasks.

The space was also very thoughtful, providing him with the identity and props needed for the mission.

Coming to his senses, Li Haotian took off the backpack from his back.

There were a few pieces of clothing, a wallet, an ID card, and a mobile phone inside.

The moment Li Haotian got his phone, he received an email with the word "commission" written on it.

Upon opening it, the contents of the commission are as follows:

"Ah Feng's son was eaten by a zombie and died a terrible death. She wanted to take revenge, but she was powerless and was killed by the zombie instead. Ah Feng hopes that someone can save her son, even if it costs her everything."

After reading the email, Li Haotian couldn't help but ponder.

"Ah Feng, there are zombies..."

"Could it be a scene from that movie?"

Li Haotian thought of a horror movie he had seen before, the plot of which was somewhat similar to the commission.

Looking around again, the old, U-shaped residential buildings were exactly the same as the scene at the beginning of the movie.

This confirmed to Li Haotian that he had entered the world of "Zombie: Seven Days to Rebirth".

He remembers most of the story.

"The Seven Days of Rebirth of a Zombie" tells the story of Xiao Hao, a famous action movie star in the 80s, who moves into a dilapidated apartment building, room 2442, after his career and life have hit a low point, and decides to end his life there.

However, when his life was hanging by a thread, he was possessed by a fierce ghost and was saved by the reclusive last monk, Ayou.

Xiao Hao became curious about his neighbor Yang Feng and the albino boy Xiao Bai. He learned from the building manager, Uncle Yan, that Yang Feng had suffered severe psychological trauma due to a bloody tragedy.

Uncle Dong accidentally fell to his death, and his wife, Aunt Mei, asked Ah Jiu to use evil magic to bring him back to life, which resulted in Uncle Dong becoming a zombie.

Xiao Hao and A You work together to fight the ferocious zombie and manage to subdue it.

Ultimately, Uncle Dong's zombie body turned to ashes under the influence of the magical artifact and sunlight, and the twins' resentment dissipated, allowing them to be reincarnated.

The plot of the story is not complicated, but Li Haotian knows a key point.

That means the entire movie is actually divided into two worlds.

One is the real world, and the other is the world Ah-hao fantasized about when he was on the verge of death.

There are no zombies or ghosts in the real world, nor are there any sorcerers or evil masters; they are all just ordinary people.

In Ah-hao's fantasy world, the identities of these people have changed, and the world is different now.

What he needs to confirm now is whether Ah Hao has hanged himself.

If he hadn't hanged himself, as long as he wasn't killed, this fantasy world wouldn't appear, and his mission would be much easier to complete.

If Ah Hao has already hanged himself, then this is troublesome.

In the fantasy world, zombies, ghosts, and even the sorcerer Ajiu are all beyond his ability to deal with.

With this in mind, Li Haotian didn't want to waste any more time, so he took out his ID card from his backpack and a letter inside.

The ID card was nothing special; it was just a regular ID card. His name and age were the same as his, but everything else was different.

The letter contained his identification.

He is now a junior high school dropout who couldn't make a living on the mainland and wanted to come to Hong Kong Island to stay with his uncle, Gao Yan, who is a building manager and security guard.

"His status is not bad."

After reading the envelope, Li Haotian felt better and more confident, so he quickly headed towards the residential building.

With his uncle, the building manager, around, it became much easier for him to gather information and do other things.

The residents in the building are mostly people who have lived there for many years and know each other.

Therefore, when Li Haotian arrived at the stall downstairs, he was immediately noticed by the people there.

"Hey, young man, where are you from?"

With a cigarette between his fingers and glasses, Ayou, who had just placed fried rice on the table for the customer, looked at Li Haotian with a scrutinizing gaze.

Li Haotian is very handsome, has a great temperament, is over 1.8 meters tall, and dresses quite fashionably.

It looks somewhat out of place in their residential building.

The residential building is decades old and in poor condition. Young people generally wouldn't come here even if they wanted to rent a place, which is why Ah-you was a little wary.

There's no way around it. They just had a guest who hanged himself, and now this young man has arrived. If something else happens, they won't be able to stay in peace.

"Hello, sir. I'm from the mainland and I'm here to stay with some relatives."

My uncle, Gao Yan, works as an administrator here.

Li Haotian saw Ayou, and Ahao sitting behind the stall eating fried rice with eggs.

Suddenly, a thought struck him: this was probably Ah-hao's fantasy world.
