It's the middle of the night, and Sikes has just returned from the mountain. She's been waiting for Sikes for a long time, and now she's ready to leave. Sikes's brother, Senior Brother changsheng, comes to congratulate Sikes on his success in the mountain game. He tells Sikes that the secret of the mountain is extremely dangerous, and that Sikes should not lose out on the game. Senior Brother says that he knew Sikes was amazing, but he didn't think he'd be as amazing as he is now. He warns Sikes to take care of himself, because each level of the game is a life-and-death situation, and each level can lead to the death of a person at any given moment. He also says that if Sikes doesn't take good care of herself, she won't be able to master the mountain, and she'll have no chance of becoming a great master. He promises to give Sikes something before Sikes leaves, but Sikes refuses.
