Chapter 4, A Certain Esteemed Person in the Corridor

The public building is surprisingly quiet, even though the wanton destruction causes a tremendous noise, no one else appears

In the movie, when Chen Dong dies, Yang Feng witnesses everything; however, A Jiu looks up and does not see her, allowing her to escape a calamity

Xiao Zhi has two speculations. The first is that it is a directorial arrangement, as too many people are somewhat disruptive to the atmosphere. The second is a covert arrangement, suggesting that the people in the public building have actually been killed, and what can be seen in the film are merely the few who survived until the end

He chose the second guess, which is that the people in the public building have actually all been killed

Slowly move away from here.

However, the elder sister also died on the ground due to severe injuries. The younger sister, who had been violated, suffered immense physical and mental torment under intense grief and fear. Unable to bear the pain, she hanged herself directly from the ceiling fan in the room...

A faint smell of blood wafted up the stairs, mingling with the scent of decaying earth, evoking a feeling of nausea

He can only choose a more extreme approach

However, this approach only addresses the symptoms and not the root cause. Therefore, he set his sights on Chen Dong and the twin ghosts in room 2442. First, he used the little ghost to kill Chen Dong and turned him into a zombie. Then, he attempted to subdue the twins, but nearly faced a counterattack. Fortunately, at a critical moment, the Taoist priest Ayou appeared and barely managed to seal the twin malevolent spirits in the wardrobe

Xiao Zhi almost laughed out loud at his own inference, which he himself did not believe, yet it could not guarantee his life

Through the peephole in the door, Xiao Zhi saw Yang Feng and her albino son Xiao Bai squatting in the corridor, eating offerings that others had placed at the door. Xiao Zhi opened the door, only to find that the neighbor Qian Xiaohao had also opened his door. He nodded slightly at Xiao Zhi and then walked towards Yang Feng and her son.

A faint and hurried sound came from downstairs, causing Xiao Zhi to pause momentarily as he turned to look in the direction of the sound

However, Xiao Zhi recalled the scenes from the film; there were quite a few residents in the public building, as could be seen from the first day Qian Xiaohai moved in

This film is not as complicated as it seems; with a little organization, it can be summarized as follows: the sorcerer A Jiu, facing terminal lung cancer, resorts to inhaling the ashes used for raising ghosts in a desperate attempt to prolong his life

Firstly, aside from the director's arrangement, it can also be understood that the zombies and malevolent spirits directly sought out Qian Xiaohai and others after emerging... Meanwhile, the people in the public building did not appear, possibly because they were in a deep sleep or had gone to work overtime

When zombies and vengeful spirits roam about

At the end of the corridor, four tall and slender figures approached, draped in long robes adorned with red and green ribbons. Their heads were covered with large cloths, obscuring their faces from view. The four individuals held a massive, tattered brown umbrella, walking leisurely through the narrow corridor.

Using the zombie and the vengeful spirit to achieve the impossible task of altering fate and attaining immortality, he unfortunately overestimated his own abilities, which led to his demise at the hands of the zombie. Subsequently, the zombie broke free, and the vengeful spirits trapped in the wardrobe also escaped. The zombie and the vengeful spirits joined forces to claim lives, resulting in a bloody storm within the public building, causing countless casualties. In the end, Ah You and Qian Xiaohao paid a tremendous price to eliminate them.

The time elapsed was merely two to three minutes, yet Xiao Zhi's cold sweat had already soaked his collar. He held his breath and looked down through the railing

Upon reaching this point, Xiao Zhi recalled some details of the plot from "Zombie"...

Xiao Zhi let out a light sigh; for him, a mere white-collar worker, killing was not a simple matter

If this is the answer, then he must take action

Xiao Zhi's hand slowly tightened around the armrest of the sofa. The content of that inexplicable piece of paper indicated that he was to survive until the end in Qian Xiaohai's imagined world, thus completing the task. According to the plot of the movie, he must at least hold on until Daoist Ayou and Qian Xiaohai eliminate the zombies and the twin ghosts.

He returned to the room at the first opportunity and let out a sigh

A Jiu's purpose is quite simple: to transform Chen Dong into a zombie, then to capture the twin evil spirits, and finally to set up a formation

The sound of the old cloth shoes suddenly ceased

Xiao Zhi hurriedly leaned against the wall, and he remembered.

The gaze in Xiao Zhi's eyes was somewhat icy, in order to survive

Ah ... ...

While dark arts are indeed terrifying, A Jiu is still a mortal being, capable of both intention and unintentionality; a crowbar can certainly teach him a lesson in humanity

A Jiu is the mastermind, while Mei Yi is the accomplice with a psychologically darkened mindset

Ah ... ...

However, now, I can faintly hear the sound of A Jiu's old cloth shoes slowly walking up the stairs

Suddenly, a scream echoed from downstairs

The problem arises; he lives next door to Qian Xiaohai's haunted room

To be a quiet handsome man patiently waiting for the plot to conclude is likely not so easy. In the film, zombies and twin malevolent spirits roam within a public building. What is depicted in the movie is that only three people fall victim to them: the first is Yang Feng's son, Xiao Bai; the second is A Jiu; and the third is Yang Feng.

A Jiu deceives Aunt Mei into resurrecting Chen Dong, exploiting her ignorance to assist in nurturing the corpse. Aunt Mei, deeply in love with Chen Dong, has long lost her composure and reason. In the film, she successively kills Uncle Yan and Xiao Bai, which is sufficient to prove that her mindset has gone awry.

Cannot be discovered

She sat slumped beside Chen Dong's bloodied corpse, tears streaming down her face, while A Jiu stood nearby, whispering something. Aunt Mei reached out and suddenly grabbed A Jiu's pant leg, her expression one of desperation. A Jiu also showed a reluctant expression and agreed to something. Aunt Mei hurriedly wiped her tears and together with him dragged Chen Dong's body up the stairs

It is Mei Yi, Chen Dong's wife

Just as Qian Xiaohai was about to ask something, Yang Feng's pupils filled with fear, and she suddenly hugged her son Xiaobai tightly in her arms, closing her own eyes as well. Qian Xiaohai seemed to sense something, and stiffly turned his head, retreating against the wall, his eyes also closing.

After that, Room 2442 began to be haunted, causing unrest. Yang Feng was also driven mad by the frequent disturbances caused by the twins, her mental state fluctuating between good and bad. However, regardless of her condition, she dared not return to Room 2442 to live, and could only wander around the public building with her son, who was afflicted with albinism, relying on the charity of others for food to survive

During the resistance of the twin sisters, the elder sister killed Yang Feng's husband with scissors

One must plan slowly and carefully, ensuring that it remains undetected; otherwise, if the matter comes to light, he will have to face new troubles

At that moment, Yang Feng crawled over from the staircase like a dog, using both her hands and feet. When she saw Xiao Zhi, she was momentarily taken aback, then she pointed randomly downstairs with a mixed expression of crying and laughing, before continuing to crawl upward, making almost no sound with her bare hands and feet, like a ghost. ... Xiao Zhi also bent down and crawled slowly, but he was wearing leather shoes, unable to suppress the sound to the lowest level like Yang Feng did.

The sound of the old cloth shoes grew closer and closer; it was A Jiu coming up!

Xiao Zhishun looked towards the other end of the corridor, his pupils constricting sharply

A sound came from outside the door, and Xiao Zhi felt a stir in his heart. He casually grabbed a decayed pry bar from the corner of the wall, which he had brought from downstairs, primarily to defend against A Jiu. If he dared to come in, he would give him a blow with it

This is a deadly either-or question

A middle-aged woman with disheveled hair, dressed in pajamas, is crouching in the stair railing below him. This is the madwoman Yang Feng, a pitiful woman who was originally the tenant of Qian Xiaohai's room. However, her beastly husband had lascivious intentions towards a pair of twin sisters and forced himself upon them.

The title of this film is "Zombie," but it also has another name, "Seven Days of Resurrection." Perhaps it implies that Chen Dong's body was transformed into a zombie after being refined for seven days

Xiao Zhi's heart pounded like a heavy hammer striking down repeatedly

Find a way to kill Mei Yi and A Jiu

Prevent zombies and malevolent spirits from escaping

To be correct is to live, to be wrong is to die
