In this chapter, we learn that the monkey king has a secret that he wants to keep a secret. He wants to know if he and the other monkey king are friends or enemies in the future. He also wants to make sure that he doesn't accidentally leave a duplicate of himself in the underworld when he wreaked havoc there. If he gets into trouble, he's going to leave everything to the six-year-old. He's not joking. He says that his memories are "in bits and pieces" and that the author has either forgotten about him or been lazy to draw him. He asks if this can help restore his memories. The narrator says that the first thing they need to do is find the king's duplicate. But there's one problem: the underworld is the place where the dead are.
