West City Road (RTSAIJOU)

Shellfish Powder (x2) acquired.

Men's Extract acquired.

Guilü Ball acquired.

It looks dead in here, huh, newbie! Where we are now is the "Sea of Qi".

There should be three floodgates here. Let's bust them open to release the water so the malice stops stagnating.

Don't assume you'll find Water guilü first just 'cause we're in a waterway.

So, which element do you want?

I'll tread ahead and take a look. Watch your step as you catch up!

The floodgate room to the left hasn't been used in a while, so there's only one way to find out if it opens.

Look who made it! All righty. The door to the second floodgate room is here, but it's rusted shut. Must've gone unopened for so long... Let me tear down the wall for you!

The next floodgate is the last one. Actually, that reminds me...

Did you know the "Sea of Qi" got its name from a part of the human body? Don't know which part, but it's true! Same for Yellow Court and Mud Pellet. It's all kinds of yuck, if you ask me.

The third floodgate room should've been at the end of this hall... Let's entertain another route.

There's a lift on this floor. Why not take that?

Here. I'll power it with brute force. I "exercise", you "exorcise"!

The lift stops on B3, so once it drops you off down there, take the stairs up one to reach B2.

You'll see three doors. The left one leads to a stairwell heading to B1.

The third floodgate room will be there... Oh yeah, there's also a terminal on B2!

Hey, reel it in for a second! Something tells me it's too early for you to be here. This door won't open until you give the guilü down on B2 a workout first!

Stop! You're going the wrong way! Go look for a flight of stairs that can take you down into the channel. With the floodgates now open, you should be able to cross the shallow part and shimmy farther in.

That was smooth sailing, wasn't it! Now, return to the operations room and close the floodgates to the Lai Hung.

What, didn't take the lift?

Well, I'm still giving these "guns" the credit for you getting this far!

A shortcut, eh? But do you really trust that floodgate wangren?

Well, take the stairs down if you do, or take the stairs up if you don't! Just follow your gut.

And by "gut", I mean your brain. Sometimes, it really is our most important muscle!

Woo! You can cross the first waterway! Go back to the waterway and check. The water should recede, leaving you free to power walk along the sewers!

Looks like you made it! Here, you'll find the old operations room.

It used to be a boat's wheelhouse, but was adapted to operate floodgates.

We can close the Lai Hung floodgate in here, as water flows FROM the Lai Hung INTO the Sea of Qi's three floodgates. But first! You want to dam the water flowing through that FIRST waterway.

There may also be a terminal in here, but it'd be behind a rusted old door. I'd be shocked if you muscled it open.

I'm sure there's an old key somewhere that'll do the trick.

Good. You can cross the waterway!

See that door on your left? Take it to loop around the Lai Hung.

From the other side, take the nearest staircase to B1, up to the third floodgate's control. Map out a route first, then prep for some guilü pest control. Get all in!

Now that you've opened the last floodgate, there's no still water for malice to stagnate in! So, what now?

I'll take you back to West City Road. Maybe you'll find a new clue or two.

Go straight ahead and you'll be at the other side of the operations room.

I think there's a guilü there that's worth you taking a swing at.

Defeating it could open a door elsewhere in the area.

No need to use those delusion glasses on me.

Do you want to drain all this water? I'll try to open the floodgate somehow,

but as long as the Lai Hung flows in, the waterway will never run dry. That's just the way of things. To drain the waterway for good, shut the floodgate on the Lai Hung side.

The operations room is in the third- storey basement. There will be a small cargo ship down there who can help.

Have you... seen... my cogwheel?

Do you... have... my cogwheel? Give me... back... my cogwheel...

Stop the water flowing in from the Lai Hung! Stop it! Please! It's getting all over me...! Can you find the operations room? It's in the third-storey basement. Get down there and stop the water...!

(No response.)

Heya, any chance you got a bolt on you? If you've got one, I'd like to have it.

I've had a few nuts and bolts loose since the guilü here all robbed me.

Guilü are born from the resentment that had built up in misused objects after malice seeped into them.

... It never used to be this bad. Guess they've gotten nastier now.

Hurry. Close the Lai Hung floodgates. I'll open the third-storey basement door that cuts to the operations room.

(No response.)

You sure took your time, eh? Let's get moving.

Your next target is Yellow Court. It's a wide area that spans both sides of the Lai Hung.

The entrance is at the waterway's end. You have the Tiger-Dragon key, right? Use it at the entrance to get inside.

The "Tiger Mouth" is up ahead. This, along with the "Dragon Mouth", carry the qi flow back outside to balance out West City Road's qi flow.

Get rid of the guilü blocking the Tiger Mouth first, then use the Tiger-Dragon key to open the mouth.

Next is the Dragon Mouth. Open the mouth, and West City Road's qi flow will finally rebalance itself. There's a dried up waterway back there. Go straight along that waterway to reach the room with the Dragon Mouth.

There's a room in the Dragon Mouth. You'll find your Ghostmaster there, along with the stolen wishing stone.

That's a rep... err, wrap! So, got anywhere to be next? I'll take you back to West City Road.

Headed for the terminal?

Once you're set, you can leave the same way you came in.

You'll find Yellow Court behind the Tiger-Dragon door.

My, this stone was given a strong wish! But of course, the stronger the wish, the more vulnerable one is to malice.

That's how it caught my eye, for I had not seen a wishing stone in so long. A shame, to see things end this way.

Now that you have stripped me of all my powers as a Ghostmaster, I have nothing left to give myself purpose.

Have you heard of a world where no malice exists? It's where we all go in the end,

to that pure white world, where all of our desires, delusions and everything else burn away into nothingness...

Wishing Stone acquired.

Shellfish Powder (x2) acquired.

Just when we thought we'd cleaned house, the malice came back! And... Wait, what?! Nguyễn's been abducted?!

That's jacked up! Now, where is he... Oh! There's a way under the Lai Hung from the dock. I say we start there!

Dang, the door to the dock is locked. It's the one with the red "E" on it, if you hadn't spotted it yet. With the water flowing again, we need to ask the floodgate men to open it. The floodgate room is at the end here.

Listen up. That room straight ahead? That's where Nguyễn is being held!

Don't try anything rash on me! That look on your face says you came to fix more than just the qi flow...

You're here for something bigger. As your bro, I hope you'll be careful. Nguyễn's abductor is a Gemini Master. The Four Gemini Masters are infamous. Even I wouldn't take them on, so if you're really doing this... good luck.

The way you came, West City Road, leads here to the "Mud Pellet".

Up ahead's the Sea of Qi, as you know. Drop downstairs to the operations room on B3 for now.

You got an e-mail, you know. Better check it at the terminal.

The operations room's dead ahead. By the way, have you gone down to B3 in Mud Pellet? There's a guilü blocking the way to the Lai Hung in there.

If you haven't yet, go smack that lunk around first to clear the path!

The water cleared around the dock, but you can't cut across from here.

Let's just say, uh... you're not skipping leg day.

The water's cleared around the dock, but you can't cut across from here.

Let's just say, uh... you're not skipping leg day.

Now that the road's clear under the Lai Hung, we can reach the dock!

This door leads to the way under the Lai Hung.

The guilü are shaping up too.

That'd be why the door's shut. Go deal with them first.

The malice came back stronger!

It began to well around me until it forced my floodgate open.

Now, the water is all the way up to the dock.

Find the operations room and shut the floodgate on the Lai Hung side. I'll help you cross the shallows.

West City Seashell acquired.

I applaud your persistence. Did you bring the naming charm?

Your presence here means you agree to the terms of the trade. Hand the naming charm over.

I'm saved. But to think, my wishing stone gathered such awful power,

all because I was chasing shadows...

May I have the stone? I want to make a new, more earnest wish with it.

May I have the stone? I want to make a new, more earnest wish with it.

If I can say something else, I did take a picture of that girl.

I made a wish on her photo that no harm would come to her.

But now, all I do is worry that this photo will get possessed by malice, just like my wishing stone did.

I could never, ever live with myself if that happened, so... Please! Take her photo from me.

Xiaohei's Photograph acquired.

On this stone, I wish that a new path opens before you.

See? If I make a wish that will come true on the short term like this, the malice won't have time to corrupt it!
