In this chapter, we learn that Gu's consciousness is connected to that of the girl in the dream, but that she has lost consciousness and is now in a coma. He wakes up to find that there is no safe place in the world, except in the "endless dark sea" . The only thing there is a single plant, and that's it. The wind whistles past his ears, and the landscape of the mountains becomes blurred in his vision, and he can't stand it any longer. He decides to fight the monster.
