This chapter's epigraph comes from a poem by the legendary poet Ming Ming. Ming Ming's poem is about a man trapped in a cave, trapped by a mysterious black man. The black man kills the man, and the man escapes. Ming is now trapped in the cave with the black man's corpse, and he is afraid that the man wants to kill him. Ming tries to kill the man with his own body, but the man grabs his body and pulls it away.
