Guys... you're going to a restaurant, not joining the mo...

...Well, this _is_ concerning the Mystic Nine, so definitions are fluid. Still, maybe not be so obvious about it.
(Also: note how production manage to get individual profiles and ~colours, despite all three being in suits. The devil really is in the details.)

This guy, who guards the Archaeological Institute of Changsha University, somehow reminds me of prf Neil Price at the Archaeological institution of Uppsala university. I don't know what to do with this information.
So I'm sharing.
(And if any archaeologists wonder what the heck I'm talking about; the still is from a C-drama that makes Indiana Jones pale in comparison. And yes - there's snakes.)
When he's not singing opera this is Xie Hua's entire character.

On so many layers... It's not just that it's an actor saying the line, the character works (or is at least a serious hobbyist) as an actor in Chinese opera. In addition I suspect he's into shenanigans with mr Black. But Xie Hua's main hobby is standing around looking like he despices everything, so the role is probably as heavy as mr d'Arcy.
Yes, I know; his camping setup is made to reflect that he's some kind of evil-ish super villain. But I really, _really_ want his tent/collapsible house thingy! There's an alcove for the bed, and potted plants! We're roughing it with style!

My knowledge of the source material for Ultimate Note is dim - it's either a novel or a manga. That means I don't know who first created this character, but I want to thank everyone involved in making this digital age hippie! He refuses to do anything unless he gets ~upvoted on QQ.

Considering the massive amount of trigger stuff in ep 10 to ~15 I thought it was strange these were left out. But it looks like production is glad to be of "service"; here they come!

Individual colours and profiles are not just for wuxia/fantasy and sf. These four are wearing modern clothes in a realistic setting, and still
•Fatty; different shades of ochre, hair ridge
•Zhang: black, with Mysterious Hood(ie)TM
•Wu Xie: greenish, normal hair
•Guide: blue, with flat hat and a tassle

Gratuitous Zhang feet photo* aside, I paused for the enamel basin. The edge is black, not blue like Kockums' equivalents from the 30s. If IKEA hadn't discontinued their basins ~20yrs ago I'd...
*cough*
Well, it's not snakes anymore.
(*Try to say "Zhang feet photo" fast three times, I dare you.)

Of all the ghosts in Ultimate Note this _may_ be the scariest one. Granted it's comparably easy to handle, but boy what a PITA it was back in the day.
