As the chapter opens, Desdemona is still alive. She tells the others that she will put some charms on them so that they will not be able to think about coming out of the future. She also tells them that if they do not follow the corridor ahead, she might as well wait for her death to come to this place. She says that she is full of "true yang fire" , that is, to burn "you" to a crisp "de thud" . She feels that the fairy energy coming from behind the door of the stone is too strong for her, and that if she were a fairy, she would have surrendered herself to the "oppression" of the "fairy energy." She wonders where the "sealing talismans" are, and she faints.
