ハニー・レディHoney Lady

What's the situation? Have you met the wangren in the adjacent room?

If you accept their request, they might help you speak to wangren.

On that note, there was a strange wangren in this alley earlier.

The wangren said something about a dragon vein that spans through ages. The words dribbled from his mouth.

If it's true that dragon veins can connect between eras, where does that one empty out, Wangren Road?

It's unthinkable! Delusion would bleed out into Kowloonfront and turn everyone into wangren.

We can't allow that. You must speak with Door Man at the Twin Centre. ... Sorry. That's all I have for now.

To the right of the first-storey entrance, opposite the cloakroom, is a gallery with your first target. Destroy the target to open the door to front row seating from its left side. If you haven't yet, start hunting.

The right-side doorway into the audience hall is open. Take it, and destroy the two targets inside.

My, you're sharp. We're going to the second floor. Go ahead and use the main entrance. Take the second floor hall down to reach the first floor audience hall. Don't get lost. The door before the left hall is open, but don't forget the first floor terminal either, okay?

Actually, there's another terminal on the third floor, but we have a ways to go before getting there.

The first floor gallery was "odd". The room opposite the cloakroom we met by... I bet something's there.

But first, there's a bar on the right. Defeat the target inside to open the gallery door.

What is this, a punch card? Who uses this kind of thing anymore?

Maybe it's for one of the automatic intruments housed in the theatre.

There's a door in the middle of the left hall that leads to the backrooms. From there, access the basement and find the instrument storage room.

Did you not see the door to the backrooms in the first-storey hall?

Go scope it out. Once you're in the backrooms, you'll have basement access.

That's the instrument storage room.

Do you... still have that punch card?

As one would guess, it's for music. I see you have a tape recorder...

Good. Record the music that plays here, then play it back at the door all the way down the hall. Doubly guessed, the door will open to the melody.

Did you see the opening to the backrooms from the left-hand passage?

There's some special mechanism there, though the stairs to it appear buried. You'll have to go the long way around. Start by going through the door you opened with the pianola sound.

Hopping through that hole would make this a much shorter trip, but it's too high for you.

Drat. There's a wide hole in the second-storey right hall flooring that you'll need to cross over for a door. Through the pianola door, go upstairs and play a sound next to that hole. Maybe that silly drumming toy will do.

There are staircases to the right and left wings of the stage.

Use the right-hand stairs to get onto the stage for another target.

Well, well. A door opened somewhere. I suppose it's one in the basement.

You'll likely need something to make the musical instrument work.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Ah! Here's an idea!

If you assemble four recordings in tandem, it maaay sound like music!

It sounds like an involved process, but this place clearly isn't one that fancies a shortcut.

This is... a piece from a crank organ. At least, I think so...

There was one in instrument storage which, I think, was once a wangren that played music for itself...

Indeed. That fascination was how it became a wangren in the first place.

Then, a guilü came and stole this, its only means of playing, away.

No more guilü around here. Would you mind giving the bar on the second floor a once-over?

Take these stairs up to the first floor to reach the orchestra pit.

With the target backstage defeated, the door to it should open for you.

You're not half-bad. Now, if you're headed for the orchestra pit, you'll want to take the left hall on the first floor. From there, you'll take the hall passage to your right.

Go straight, jump down the hole and take the stairs on your left up to the first floor.

The stage door leads to the orchestra pit. There will be plenty of musical paraphernalia for you to peruse there.

It's odd. One, we keep finding remnants ripped from wangren scattered about. Two, we put them back, and they play. Three... they're all toys.

Listen. Err on the side of caution, and hope this isn't an elaborate trap.

A fan of detours, are you? Take the stairs to your right to reach the second floor.

I've helped clients for many years, but you're the most antagonistic yet. If all people were as free-spirited as you are, my job would be obsolete!

In some events, if a guilü's former owner reappears, that guilü will transform back into an object.

That's why ordinary townsfolk sometimes wish to enter hutongs where guilü live. I work to help those people from ending up lost, so before YOU get lost, return to your route and let ME do my job!

Enter the basement from the backrooms, and take the stairs on the right side all the way up to the second floor.

This leads to the right stage, which goes up and down like a lift. If that stage has an instrument, you can record a fourth sample.

Now, where to play all four...

Ah! Wait, wasn't there a small door across from instrument storage? Try playing the assembled music there. That door could open!

Seems there's a guilü still floating about near the stage, so to get back, take the far left stage. It's designed to move when stood on. Come to think of it, I wonder where the other stages have moved since...

This stage too reacts to music. Ride it up to the third floor.

Look carefully on the stage. The target there has sealed a door in the third-storey backrooms shut.

Watch your step. This hallway has a hole in it.

If you fall through, you'll have to cross the backrooms on the second floor and come back up the stairs. Your first seal stone is in the control booth at the end.

The sound booth's in the back, as is the first seal stone, I reckon.

If you're here to break the stone, I should warn you that it has enough malice to put up a fight. On a lighter note, try playing that silly music for this door.

Are you doing all right?

Those seal stones were made to regulate the qi flow, but now, they only amplify the malice. I know someone said more sawdust was down here, but... where?

... Whatever. We still got what we wanted out of instrument storage. Ride the stage down and meet me in the basement. Afterwards, I'll take you back to Lung Chun Road.

The motor room is under the stage, but we can't get there from here. Let's get some air, shall we?

Our cloakroom is closed. Keep your belongings with you at all times!

... ... ... Hehe, sorry. Little Fly told me you were coming.

This theatre has an unpleasant air, one I'd call "pretentious", even. I much preferred the older theatre.

It's in the Tin Tong basement. Now, which of the five elements of malice will you start with?

All right, I'll go get a feel for the current layout of the theatre. Until I find you, stay sharp.

Seal Stone No. 1 took a bow? Good.

But, seeing as how the qi flow is still in flux, guilü have likely taken other stones hostage... It's a little worrying to me.

Here, let me take you back. Will the front of Tak Lee Hall do?

Ah, right. I remember those doors now. There are some invisible doors here. You should be able to locate them.

How does one open this door, eh? I wouldn't know, but maybe you can ask that control panel character. They're on the third floor, so how... Ah. The stage is still on the third floor. You have to take the stairs.

If you find a blue doorway, feed it, all right? They'll offer a shortcut. Defeat the target behind the blue door, take the left hall into the backrooms. Get to the second floor. From there, take the stairs next to the stage up to the third floor.

Where are you going? From here, you can't reach that room on the third floor.

You strayed a ways too far.

The organ sound made the stairs appear. From them, go from the backrooms to the second floor. From the stage, take the stage-side stairs to the third floor.

Backrooms, second floor, stage. Got it?

Going down? If so, the stage you took earlier would be easiest.

Once you reach the basement, take the electrician's door and make for the second-basement floor.

The machine room's near those stairs you took down from Lung Chun Road.

A motor there raises and lowers the stages. It's... a great motor.

That motor's a curious one.

Or rather, that motor wangren. So, will you do as it asked...?

The right stage is on the first floor. Cross it, and proceed to the stockyard. To get down, head to the sound booth on the third floor and take those right-stage stairs down. I would take the nearest stage up to the third floor, but I think it only comes down to the first floor basement.

The second stone disappeared.

If the stones trapped your colleague, I sense there are others to destroy. For now, let's head to Lung Chun Road proper, not the Lung Chun underground.

The electrician wore himself out. His bulbs don't flicker anymore, as if he used the last of his power.

Thankfully, you seem to know where you're headed next, right?

I wonder how the motor person in the machine room is doing.

That room on the third floor, eh? All this of back-and-forth... At least I saw this coming. Ride the left stage down until you arrive in the basement.

The stage moved. If all stages are now level, you can cross them as a bridge.

The dressing room will be at the end. I say this because the guilü boss of the theatre must be there. The girl you're looking for must be trapped there.

The girl is safe outside. Now, it's your turn, so let me know once you're ready. This also wraps up our contract, and I, for one, am taking a break!

She's the girl you came to rescue? Well, here's the deal: I can only escort one at a time. Who's first?

Not at all. I feel a bit better knowing that I helped find you. But better than that would be us leaving this dreary place...

All right, dear, you can tell me more on the way. If you're going first, I'm ready when you are.

"Taixi"? You kids know the darndest things, I swear... Well, anyways, let's go!

Are you headed to Wangren Road? We would help, but that isn't our turf.

We can't escort you in or out.

Which would you prefer: my memory, or Little Fly's memory?

The memory is on your card. Now, go in with caution.

If you don't, there's a fair chance you'll never make it out.

If you have business in West City Road, we'll refer a good friend to your aid.

All wangren who live on Wangren Road actually live inside the head of an elderly man named Ma Shantong.

Do you know what I mean by that? I mean, the world they live in is all that one old man's delusion.

... It's as complicated as it sounds.
