Mystic Nine Episode 22

Xumi Realm

It’s been a mixed bag helping Wu regain memories. The shooting incident brings the most emotional memories from past and present. He subjects Zhang to a trial by the people and finds that he is ruthless with martial law but does not abuse his power to harm innocents. This pacifies him. Zhang makes a group to go find Xumi realm. He, Xiao Yu, Qi and Wu will find the entrance. They enter via the shaft in Teihai house and redo the opera stage where Wu gets to fight last Peng parasite. They find the Japanese campsite but it has been burned to ash leaving no clues. Wu’s cell revealed his notes and Wu’s fear of the place but nothing else. They find a wall identical to the tower wall but not. The Xumi Realm tablet is much newer than it should be. The area has all the spells on the wall Hatoyama bragged about mastering. One is left they had not heard of, revitalizing the tower. This is done by nourishing the seed with the right combo of water and fire. Topside Gen Huo has replaced the missing Zhang with his man. He is claiming cult infiltration and has enforced a curfew and martial law. Zhang’s second has sent two on a secret mission. Huo explores from the other side. She knows the water route of the caskets so enters from that way. She follows Wu’s marks and is the first to run into the much larger Zainiangniang. She figures out the entrance she wants is under water so fearlessly dives in. The episode ends with the four reading the spells and trying to get the right combination to nourish the seed. For once, other than the creature, there is much more activity topside than underground. They have still not revealed what Japan’s repercussions will be for the lost auction.
