Thi-eng

The Computer Room Thi-eng.

Thi-eng, the Computer Room is a location in Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou. It is stationed at the top of the Fire Tower Tong-tah.

The Computer Room is the residence of Ka-gyou, the King of Time. The Computer is used to manipulate all life that has been born from Mingke-shu, the Tree of Life. It is primarily operated by Ying and Yang, who also work for Ka-gyou.

Layout

The Computer Room is a small metallic chamber with a terminal on the back wall, various machinery on the side walls, and with Ying and Yang inside. Ying and Yang can be talked to by facing their respective side. In addition, the player can move forward and use the terminal.

Inhabitants

• Ka-gyou
• Ying
• Yang

Computer

The Computer's keyboard and disc drive.

The Computer takes up the north wall of the computer room. It can be used to contact the five kings, as well as Ying and Yang themselves. The keys are in Tong-Nou Script without either the aid of the Eye-Glasses or a hint from one of the candles. However, the keys are always in the same spot, so they can be memorized. Should the player enter 3 incorrect inputs in a row, Rin's time will be deleted, and he will die.

Involved characters

Tou must insert the Disc of Wood into the computer to register the lives of the Zoh-gaeru's and himself, and Kai must go here to speak with Ka-gyou. Rin must speak with the king himself in order to get his permission to collect his Fire Magatama from the protected candle on the surface.
