Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 76 Zombie's Seven-Day Rebirth
Although it's already the beginning of autumn in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the daytime temperature is still scorching. The cement ground feels like a hot iron, with layers of heat rising from below...

Li Xuan, holding a compass, hailed a taxi and, after about an hour of winding turns, arrived at Kwai Tsing District in the New Territories.

The tall, U-shaped buildings, shared balconies, haphazardly laid-out electrical wires, and piles of clothes swaying in the wind give the impression of a revitalized Kowloon Walled City.

He knew that public housing estates existed on Hong Kong Island.

The word "锨" actually means village. You can think of the special buildings on Hong Kong Island where the leaders provide preferential treatment to the poor as an alternative village.

Li Xuan walked along the corridor next to the building, looking like an office worker.

It was more lively than I had imagined. There were tobacco and alcohol supermarkets, fried rice restaurants, people playing cards, chatting, and children chasing and playing with each other, creating a vibrant atmosphere of everyday life.

He was hungry, so he sat down on a chair at the entrance of the fried rice restaurant and called out to the owner, who was wearing pajamas, "A bowl of fried rice, please!"

"understood."

The boss had his back to him. His pajamas were quite unique, as if they had been made from a dark floral bed sheet. They were long enough, but as he swayed his body while frying rice, his hairy legs were exposed, which was a bit disgusting.

Li Xuan picked up the chopsticks stuck in the chopstick holder, which contained both ordinary wooden chopsticks and disposable chopsticks.

Just then, the boss suddenly started tossing the wok, the rice grains tumbling around in the pot. He picked up a bottle of liquor, took a swig, and then sprayed the rice into the air!

The flames rise.

Li Xuan's eyes twitched. Although he wasn't a particularly particular person, this scene was truly...

The owner used a long plate to serve bowls of fried rice to the customers. He placed the last bowl in front of Li Xuan, looked him up and down, sat down, took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "You look unfamiliar. You seem to be a white-collar worker. What are you doing here? Visiting relatives?"

The fried rice in the bowl was still steaming.

Thinking of how the old man had sprayed wine earlier, Li Xuan suddenly felt miraculously no longer hungry, only a little churning in his stomach.

Seeing that the other guests didn't seem to care at all, he picked up his chopsticks and tried to muster up the courage, but when he smelled the aroma of baijiu (Chinese liquor) emanating from the fried rice, he silently put the chopsticks down.

I'm sorry, at this moment.

I must admit that I am a coward.

He pushed the bowl aside and said, "The economy is bad, and everything costs money. I heard there are public housing estates here, so I came to try my luck."

The owner looked to be in his sixties, with a full head of black and gray hair. Although his face was a bit chubby, the wrinkles were still visible. He said, "Public housing estates aren't that easy to live in. Don't be fooled by the old buildings; there are still requirements for moving in."

Li Xuan hummed in agreement: "So, I'll just try my luck."

The boss's appearance had seemed familiar since the beginning, and coupled with his current tone of voice, it suddenly reminded Li Xuan of the Four-Eyed Taoist Priest from the early zombie movie "Mr. Vampire".

He glanced at it again and thought to himself, "It's practically the same person!"

Just then, a black notebook appeared out of thin air, its pages flipping to reveal the following text: [Contact with a key figure in "Zombie Rebirth in Seven Days" - Immediately review the plot.]

The movie "Seven Days to Resurrect a Zombie" is also known as "Zombie".

The story revolves around Xiao Hao, a once-popular martial arts actor in the 1980s, who suffers a career setback and becomes a washed-up actor twenty years later. He has no roles to play, his family is in turmoil, and he contemplates ending his life in a public housing estate.

Little did they know that not only were there twin vengeful ghosts and sorcerers, but there were even terrifying zombies.

He experienced great terror on the brink of death, gradually came to understand himself, and with the help of the old Taoist priest Ah You, successfully subdued the twin vengeful ghosts and the zombie...

The written description is simple.

However, Li Xuan saw the complete movie video from the text and knew many hidden details within it.

Ah Feng, who loves her son dearly, dares to fight against zombies all by herself!
Like Aunt Mei, who loved her husband to the point of obsession, she didn't hesitate to kill Xiao Bai to support her husband. Or like Ah Jiu, who had terminal lung cancer, who ingested ashes to raise a ghost and forcibly prolong her life.

For example, fried rice shop owner Chen Ayou knew that Ajiu practiced evil magic but did not stop him.

At this moment, the boss, Ayou, looked at Li Xuan's empty rice bowl and said, "We've lived here for a long time, and we all know each other in the neighborhood."

Don't be nervous.

It's normal for a new face to immediately attract everyone's attention when it appears.

For example, not long ago a washed-up actor moved into room 2442 upstairs. He stays locked in his room all day doing nothing, and when he goes out he always wears small sunglasses. I wonder if he can even see the road clearly..."

The actor who's past his prime is Xiao Hao.

He got up, went to the stove to get a wok, scooped the remaining fried rice into Li Xuan's bowl, and said, "Don't be shy, this meal is on me!"

I'll ask Uncle Yan, the building manager, about the housing situation for you later.

"Although this place is quite large, it's an old building after all. Few young people come to live here, and when the older folks get old and die, the rooms become empty. It shouldn't be a problem to secretly rent them out."

Li Xuan said, "Thank you."

Ah You casually grabbed a little kid by the collar and said, "Go find Uncle Yan and tell him I need to talk to him!"

He took a few candies from the large pocket of his bathrobe and put them into the child's hand.

"understood!"

The child ran off as fast as he could.

Not long after, an old man wearing a light blue security guard uniform was brought over. He had a round face, gray hair, and a steady gait. He looked to be over seventy years old, but was incredibly healthy.

Ayou got up to fry rice for the new guests, pointed at Li Xuan with a rice spoon and said, "He's over there."

The old man was the building's manager and security guard. He walked over, looked Li Xuan up and down, then smiled and said, "Did you bring your ID? Let me see it."

Li Xuan has an ID card from this world, but his household registration is on the mainland, and his identity is that of a student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

If someone is from a different region, even if there are slight discrepancies in their identity, it cannot be verified in a timely manner.

Uncle Yan looked at it over and over for a long time, then said, "Oh, you're from Guangdong, mainland China. Why are you coming here to work at a time like this? Well, whatever, a guest is a guest. There's a spare room on the 24th floor, you can make do for a while. If there's a crackdown, you'll probably have to hide..."

This old man has a nice personality; he's very amiable in the movie.

Strange things kept happening in the building, and Aunt Mei's husband hadn't shown up for a long time. Uncle Yan took the initiative to investigate, starting with Aunt Mei's house. As soon as he arrived, he ran into Ah Jiu and Aunt Mei talking furtively about something.

He noticed what appeared to be traces of a ghost, so he offered candy as a lure, and sure enough, there was a ghost! He immediately suspected Ah-Jiu, whom he had watched grow up, and gave him a stern scolding.

Ah Jiu didn't dare to speak when faced with Uncle Yan's reprimand.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Mei, fearing that her husband's death would be exposed, ambushed Uncle Yan with an ashtray, smashing him to death and disfiguring him beyond recognition.

Uncle Yan risked his life to take care of Li Xuan, this "poor man who works across the sea," so Li Xuan wouldn't just stand by and watch such a kind old man be beaten to death and die a miserable death.

Those who cultivate the Tao cannot follow its natural laws, nor can they act according to their own will. If they are hesitant and timid even when they want to save someone, what kind of cultivation is that?

I can kill evil people whenever I want!

I'll save any kind person I want!
