"Chapter 1, Office"

Master,



is the 100th-day worship

different from the annual worship?

2 big bags of gold ingot
and hell money?

I see, alright.

We will do the prayers at home then,
thank you.

Hey, this is a one-way street.

How can they just
park their cars like that?

It's the seventh month
of the Lunar calendar,

so it's normal
for them to do offerings.

We must be tolerant and patient.

Mom, it's not
that I don't have tolerance.

The problem is that
it's my first day on the job,

and I'm about to be late.

Can't the dead just give way for me?



Hey, don't you talk like that,
watch your manners.

I'm just telling the truth here.

Oh, I'm really running late.

Mom, I'll park the car
at the side and walk.

By sticking to the left, you'll be
able to exit to the main road.

- Okay?
- Alright.

- Be careful
- Okay, you too.

Come on, take this.

It's the seventh month
of the Lunar calendar,

and today is your first day at work.

Remember to pray to the good fellows
in there when you get inside.

And this, you must
keep it with you at all times.

I asked for this
at the Tian Hou Temple,

this will keep you safe.

Mom.

In fact,
I've told you so many times.

Since dad passed away,

I really don't believe
in all these worshipping stuffs.

For me, cherishing the person
around me means more than anything.

Don't you worry, I'll work hard
and earn lots of money.

I'll take good care of you
when you're old.

Stop talking about old!

- I'll go now, bye!
- Alright.

Remember to finish the soup.

Hey, can't you wait for a while?

No way,
it's too early to be so unlucky.

I'm sorry...

During the Ghost Festival period,

remember to always be careful
wherever you go.

Alright, okay.

Wait!

Thanks...

Hey, where is she?

"No Entry"

"Tan Accounting and Audit Services"

Billy?

Tan Accounting and Audit Services?

In the middle of the night,

a beautiful lady in a sexy dress

waiting for a car by the roadside.

So, I went over
and ask if she needs any help.

So according to what we have
discussed on the phone,

there will be a 3-month probation.

Then, we will look at
your performance

and adjust your salary accordingly.

This is your workplace,

and these are the cases
we are handling this week.

You will be in charge
of the accounts of these branches,

so complete these
by end of day tomorrow.

Jack, what do you have for me?

Richard,

Billy is our new staff.

He is the person-in-charge
of this company.

If you need anything,
just look for the man over there.

Alright.

She even undressed at me,

who held her hands out
and clasped them tightly around me.

Are you trying to tell us
a ghost story or an erotic story?

Lynn, Billy is our new colleague.

Billy, this is Lynn.

What are you all waiting for?

Shouldn't you all start working now?

What's the matter?
Why have to run this hard?

Today is your first day at work,

you just have to finish this ledger.

Tomorrow, you are going to
have extra workload.

Do you best and go for it!

"Son, have you had the soup?"

"How is the new boss treating you?"

"Did your colleagues bully you?"

"I have finished up the soup."

"Nice boss and nice colleagues."

"I'm such an adult,
you don't have to worry about it."

"And you? Did you have lunch?"

"Don't just eat cookies."

Billy?

Are you a graduate?

Is this your first job?

Are you on silent mode?

Are you mute?

Men in this company are so boring.

"Gents"

The ledgers submitted
by these two companies

are different
from the ones in the computer.

Can you guys
check this account for me?

I think it looks suspicious,
this might be a problematic entry.

I'm sorry to disturb.

Richard, I've done my work.

Hey, you're efficient.

Put those on my table,
I'll check them tomorrow.

Sure.

And this company as well,

can you please
also check its ledger for me?

Richard,
is everything good on your end?

Recently, I think everything is
still under my control.

Do you need to go for a prayer?

No, I don't believe in that.

Hey, there's still no one here
to repair the broken lifts.

New boy, would you like
to join us for dinner?

It's on Richard.

Nonsense,
why do I have to pay for it?

Dream on.

Not today, my car is here.

Maybe next time.

Are you sure?

My car is here, I've got to go now.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Let's go, why are you smirking?

Hey, who is burning stuff here?

Dirtying my shoes.

You're really unlucky.

It's money anyway,
you may just pick it up and use it.

What are you talking about?

It has turned into ash already,

you can't even recycle and use it.

Thank you.

Billy.

You will have to
recheck these pages again,

there are a few pages of ledger
with issues yesterday.

And these have to be
completed today.

Noted.

Alright, no problem.

What time? Sure...

Alright...

Okay...

"Welcome"

Why is it so noisy upstairs?

Brother.

Brother.

Brother.

I'm hungry,

let's go for dinner.

Looks like I'll have to
work extra hours today.

Billy, I'll go to the washroom now.

Wait for me
and we'll go downstairs together.

Sure.

Jack, is it Malay fried noodles?

Yes, with egg!

Okay.

Why are we taking the stairs
when there are lifts?

Finally, you talk.

The lift is so cramped,

I just don't want to
be sandwiched with you.

Cramped?

There's no way the lift is cramped.

Today, I took the lift with a lady,

it is spacious and quite comfy.

Hey, fresh graduate.

Can you please stop being
a desperate starving man?

I really misjudged you,

looks like I'll have to
talk to the two girls.

We are in the seventh month
of the Lunar calendar,

would you like to know the story
of the company building's lifts?

What is the story about?

I'm telling you all,
but you can't go and tell others.

Don't you find the company's lifts
particularly narrow?

Yes, it's really narrow

and it's weird that
there's a panel within.

Exactly, it was said that a lady
used to commit suicide there.

And her blood splattered everywhere,

that they just couldn't wipe it off
no matter how hard they try.

That's why they just cover it
with a panel then.

Stop talking nonsence.

I also heard it from someone else.

I'm leaving now.

I'm going to the office too,
I don't feel like doing overtime.

Pay for me, please.

Goal...

Hey, you can't even score a goal
even this close?

Number 19, I'll remember you.

You're causing me to lose money.

What time is it now?

It's so noisy every night.

Do you think I'm weak to you?

Do you think
I'm kind enough to be bullied?

How dare you
making noise every night!

I dare you to make some more noise!

Who leaves the door open
for the kids to come mess inside?

"Sorry, we are closed"

Why haven't I seen
this security guard before?

What?

It's so obvious,
why didn't I notice it this morning?

Impossible.

Today, a lady stood behind me,
and I didn't feel too cramped then.

Hi, there.

Has this partition been here
for a very long time?

That panel over there?

It's been there forever.

I remember that
there was no wooden panel here.

3A?

I remember that I pressed
for the 4th floor this morning,

there is no 3A.

It's impossible
that I'm wrong about this.

Who are you?

Open the door.

Let me out, don't you come near me.

Let me out.

What happened?

There was a lady
at the wooden panel,

she kept smiling at me!

I was just rambling on.

And you're serious about it,
are you crazy?

It's illusion.

Be calm, calm down.

I don't even believe in these,
what am I afraid of?

Calm down.

Calm down.

What happened?

Power outage?

Is anyone outside?

Lynn?

Jack?

Lynn?

Richard?

Jack?

Where they have gone?

Jack?

Jack?

Jack?

Jack?

If you're courageous,
show your cards.

Security guard,

why are all the lights off
in the office?

You lose.

Come, give me your money.

Hello?

Security guard.

One more round.

Money betting is no fun,

why don't we do something
that is even more exciting?

Alright, what else to gamble?

Jack?

Jack, where are the others?

Why are you gambling here?

Hand, we will use our hands
as the bet.

I have two of them.

This time I'll surely win,
that's for sure.

Would you like to join us?

I have a lot of money.

If you don't want to bet on money,

I can bet on my hands.

My feet?

Or you want to bet on your eyes?

And this, you must
take this with you at all times.

I asked for this
at the Tian Hou Temple,

this will keep you safe.

Amulet...

Amulet.

Keep me safe...

Bless me...

I can't find you.

I can't find you.

Here you are.

Mom, looks like the amulet
you gave me worked.

Jack?

Jack?

Jack?

Why can't this get through?

- Who is that?
- Help, is anyone there?

- Who is that?
- Can anyone save me?

- Who is inside?
- It's me!

Please save me!

Who are you?

I'm Lynn, stupid!

Come and save me now.

Lynn, I can't open the door!

I can't open it here too.

Help!

Don't be afraid,
let me try it again.

I'm telling you,
don't you come near me.

Don't you ever come over!

There's ghost!

Billy, save me!

Don't be afraid,
I have a amulet here.

4th floor?

There's no 4th floor here,
where are you taking me to?

4th floor?

Lynn!

Lynn!

Don't you come over!

Why?

I'm a human,
and I'm here to help you.

I don't care
if you don't believe me.

It's been proven.

When only few offices are
still operating in this building,

a lot of negative energy
is accumulated in this building.

Plus, it's now the Ghost Festival,

the ghosts are wandering around.

You all have just offended them
by keep talking nonsense,

now that you're in trouble.

Security guard,
can you please help us?

I have a colleague
who was sent to the 4th floor.

I know where they are.

It's 3 o'clock now,
where the Yin energy is at its peak.

That's when the good fellows
are actively wandering around.

Then, what should we do?

I can't just leave
my colleague behind.

Come on, let's go up.

Go up?

Let's go.

Lynn?

Jack?

Richard?

Why does this place
looks exactly like our office?

It's illusion,
it's something to trick you.

Let's go.

Wait, I don't want to...

I'm scared...

Aren't you here to save your friend?

Come on.

Richard!

Richard, open the door!

Richard!

What's wrong with him?

He's possessed by a ghost.

Richard, open the door!

Richard,
I'm all alone and I'm scared.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here,
no one is going to bully you.

So, are you willing
to stay by my side?

Don't leave me alone.

Silly girl, of course I do!

You are in good hands.

Richard.

What's your name?

Whatever, it's okay.

- Sweetheart.
- Richard!

Richard, open the door!

Richard, wake up!

Sweetheart, it's okay
if you want to hug a little longer.

Wait a moment.

What's wrong, baby?

Richard, can I trust you?

Of course.

Then...

Richard!

- Don't worry, I'm here.
- Richard!

- I'm going to protect you.
- Wake up!

Wake up!

- What's wrong with me?
- Hey, are you okay?

Stop being pretentious.

What's your problem? Show yourself.

Where did you hide the others?

Just tell me what you want.

Why are you messing with people?

I'm not messing with them,

the're the ones having evil thoughts
who have ghosts in their hearts.

You've been dead for a long time,
why don't you leave?

Leave?

I haven't gotten my revenge yet,
I'm not going anywhere.

The person who hurt you
are not them.

All men are the same.

They all want to possess me,
to toy with me,

and then abandon me.

I won't let them go.

It's you who didn't let yourself go,

that's why you've become a ghost.

Don't you lecture me,

or I'll make you end up

just like them.

What do you want?

Richard, Jack!

Security guard, what should we do?

We should hurry up and save them!

They must be under a spell.

If we touch them,
we might also be in danger.

But we can't just
watch them suffer like this,

can't we do something?

Security guard,
please help think of something!

Please use your
ghost busting technique, quick!

Exorcism?

I don't know how to exorcise ghosts.

Why bringing me up here if you know
nothing about exorcising ghost?

It was the elevator door
that opened eventually,

so I brought you up here.

Also, is it wrong for me
to look like this?

You despise us, it serves you right!

There's no time for that,

I guess this is the only way to go.

Genesis, please forgive us!

Please...

Come on,

it takes the person
who causes the problem to solve it.

Please, apologise to them quickly.

Please, let us go.

Yes...

It's the seventh month
of the Lunar calendar,

and today is your first day at work.

Remember to pray to the good fellows
in there when you get inside.

Yes...

The problem is that
it's my first day on the job...

Can't the dead just give way for me?

Hey, who is burning stuff here?

It's money anyway,
you may just pick it up and use it.

Wait!

Exactly, it was said that a lady
used to commit suicide there.

And her blood
splattered everywhere...

Hand, we will use our hands
as the bet.

It's so noisy every night.

I dare you to make some more noise!

I'm sorry, please leave us alone.

We'll be polite
and we'll treat you with respect.

Sorry, it's really my fault.

I beg you to leave us alone.

My butt hurts...

Are you guys okay?

Wake up.

Oh, my neck...

What say you?

Are you guys okay?

You young people,

always talking without putting
thoughts in it and defying Gods.

Now, you have learnt your lessons

and knowing to offer incense
and pray for good.

I'm sorry, please forgive us.

Please forgive us...

Sorry, we didn't mean to offend.

Sorry...

I'll respect you,
so could you also respect me?

Can we just leave each other alone?
