We learn that the lantern color is a sign that a person is communicating with someone. The crackling master asks the young master why he hasn't seen the blackie launch a lantern lately. The young master tells him that three days ago a monster appeared and killed a bunch of people. Many masters were unable to handle the monster, so the demon couldn't close it. He tells the crackling master that he's seen no lanterns from the Blackie in three days. Whitey comes in and asks why he didn't reply to her earlier. She shows him the lantern she's making for the lantern festival. She says she'll definitely get first in the lantern contest. She's sorry that she hasnt replied to her before. She promises to bring the body in the room first. The sect master tells them to forgive them for being powerless. He says they did everything they could, but their skin was ripped off and their hearts were dug out. He also says that it was surprising that they found the body still conscious when they found it in the river, since he was so obsessed with the lantern. Now that he thinks about it, he must have prevented his soul from leaving. The master tells the servant to perform a ritual to free the soul. The servant says that he can't remember a time when he felt so happy.
