Chen Mo, a young haunted-house sleep tester, enters the infamous House 77 on Qishan Street for a huge reward. His task is to uncover the truth behind the massacre that wiped out an entire family in the century-old mansion, all within seven days.
On the first night, a woman in red whispers in his ear, guiding him to a Taoist priest's memorial portrait that looks exactly like him. The ancestral bronze mirror suddenly grows hot. In its reflection, a roomful of vicious ghosts kneel and bow, crying, “The Celestial Master has returned! All ghosts pay homage!”
His peaceful life is shattered. Chen Mo discovers that he has long been at the heart of a carefully woven web of terror. The bronze mirror is a key connecting the worlds of yin and yang. It can reveal fragments of the dead's shattered memories, but it also draws countless greedy, resentful eyes from the darkness.
As the investigation deepens, the cold and perceptive detective Lin Guodong, the scheming property manager Zhao Pangzi, and Su Wan, a folklore researcher obsessed with uncovering the truth about the ancient mirror, each venture into this forbidden place. The group seems to have nothing in common, and each has a different purpose, yet they are all swept into an increasingly uncontrollable supernatural storm.
Whispers from the bottom of a well, ghostly figures in the mirror, a child's curse, faces repeated across time and space... Every clue points to a terrible secret deliberately buried. The shrieks of vicious ghosts intertwine with the schemes of the living, and every step brings them to the brink of life and death.
The seven-day deadline draws near, and the truth behind the massacre gradually comes to light. It was not merely a tragedy from a century ago, but a vicious curse that has continued to this day, targeting the bloodline of the “Celestial Master.”
