Mystic Nine Episode 11

Findings in the tower heart

When they reach the bottom they find Hatoyama and entourage dead by seppuku. The construction site was never completed by the rules of Fengdu. While they ID the bodies Wu has gone off to find Huo. While that is understandable, he’s already splitting up the group and Zhang is ok with it. He finds Huo and they chat about loss of important things during exploration. For her, it was her faith. They agree to part ways with her promising to report he findings to him. He returns to the group and Qi is the first to note he returned alone. They start piecing information together and learn that Hatoyama became interested in a mural that showed Changsheng’s methods and a spell that could turn back time. Via the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and XinXue restaraunt he was given permission to inspect the mural. He initiated Operation Changsha to learn more about the time reversal spell. In top secret reports he launched operation copper meteorite while planning Operation Changsha. They have not yet figured out its tie to operation catch all. Cox Hendry was in charge of operation copper Meteorite while Hatoyama started operation Changsha. Here Zhang QiShan and mystic nine eliminated the Japanese spy operation topside leaving Hatoyama in the tower. Two years ago Hatoyama confirmed they had found what they were looking for and had reached the location but that it seemed no escape from the tower was possible. That was his last transmission. Zhang and Wu realize they are led to the pond area and here is an eerie display of the long dead bodies being restored. Zhang said two more spells needed performed and Wu confesses he already did them. And now the weirdness starts. Time is reversed for them and Hatoyama mocks the two leaders about how he had orchestrated things. Both leaders tried to kill him but he used others as decoys. Operation Catch all completes and that was getting the dog. Wu and all the Japanese soldiers disappeared. We are given a glimpse of unit 401 but they are in the same limbo status. They too disappeared. Huo comes out to see them disappear. She and Xhang are the only two left in the pond area. This scene was a good creep out session with the eeriness and unexplained disappearances. Not to mention watching mummified suicides becoming live persons again. Hatoyama discloses he has had three years to learn the ancient Chinese wisdom. For reasons unknown, the entire expedition was a ruse to kidnap Wu to complete there operation Catch all. It does not reveal how the exited,but that after turning the city upside down Wu has still not been found. They know he is the key to their ongoing plans, but no one knows what those entail. Huo returns home to find she’s leader in name but not power. In the tower she found a vial with a warning that the Eunuch is colluding with the Japanese and the formula will endanger her life. She did collect the item but we don’t know if she gave it to them. Qi is collecting his thoughts and drawn to the statue with hair. The scene the. Goes to a wanted poster of Hatoyama and a missing poster of fifth master Wu. Zhang’s men have mobilized check;lints to search or Wu and reward monies to gain assist from the general public. News is needed of Otherworld Patriarch and Hatoyama. Zhang knows it will be difficult to find clues they need and wants to mobilize mystic nine to search for them. General Huo is still holding 9th master Xie and the scene moves to Xie’s residence where he is still under house arrest. Huo is trying to force him to sign a confession letter and Xie calmly continues his chess game as Huo laces back and forth saying what a kind benefactor he is keeping him alive.😝His aura is more of a schoolyard bully without henchmen around than a commanding general of the Ministry of War. He is the lackey for somebody, but he is far from being the mastermind of any of the current happenings. He flips the game board and goes in full tantrum mode, but even gun in hand he does not instill fear. His threats are interrupted by the mystic nine members showing up. He tries to invoke Huo clan privileges in having a prisoner and they remind him the women rule. Qi asking if he’d changed his person.🤣😂 And he folds like the bully he is when his guards do not respond to his call. 😝Zhang QiShan makes his appearance and his guards tote out the chatty general now unconscious. The mystic nine’s meeting begins as the episode ends. The creepy vibe of the tower is now going to topside strategist mode and we will get to see the mystic nine (minus 5th master) at work.
