Xie Xingzhi is a top antique restorer and special-effects prop expert, with a pair of “ghost hands” that can see through objects and reveal their internal structure.
One day, while restoring a bloodstained bronze mirror, he is unexpectedly pulled into a bizarre space called the “Infinite Film Set.”
Here, everyone is an “actor” fighting to survive, forced to complete scripted tasks in horror films, apocalyptic wastelands, and Cthulhu-haunted mists.
While others flee for their lives from vengeful ghosts, Xie Xingzhi frowns at the chainsaw in one ghost’s hands. “The drive shaft is badly worn. There’s an 80 percent chance it’ll jam. I recommend taking it apart.”
While others search for a way out of the castle, Xie Xingzhi knocks on the walls. “The load-bearing wall is structurally unsound. Blow this up and the physical logic of the entire instance will collapse.”
While the “actors” struggle to follow the script and survive, Xie Xingzhi has already picked up his toolbox and started “repairing” this despairing world full of bugs.
System warning: [Actor Xie Xingzhi is attempting to defeat the instance boss using physical means... Warning! The script has collapsed!]
Xie Xingzhi calmly wipes the machine oil from his hands. “Sorry, I’m a perfectionist. I can’t stand shoddy props.”
