In this chapter, the "fate combaters" of the previous chapter are joined by the "sister goddess," who tells them that she is a goddess and that she can do things that the spirits of the past can't do. She says that living in a box is more secure than living in the real world, because she knows that things are far more horrible than they were before she was born. She tells the men that they are sorry that she made Cai Ming-ling turn into a completely different person, but that she will not let it happen again. She also tells them to go find "lam" if they want to see what happens to her.
