Now that the monster is gone, Dr. Bledsoe is left with only one option: he can't fight anymore. He's got to find a way to get rid of the monster, pronto. The only way he can do this is to find the witch core, which has made the monster so powerful. The witch core is a kind of "micro-phantom" . It's like a body of hate, but it doesn't have the same kind of power as a normal person does. This is why ordinary people are so bad at dealing with these kinds of phantoms. But the only way to deal with them is to run into them, because they're not going to let you off the hook. The other problem is that he's in the dark, and he'll have to kill himself to get out of this situation. He says that if he runs into a ghost that can control the power of the natural world, he should run right away and kill the ghost. But if the ghost is a monster, then he should wait until the monster has killed the ghost before killing him.
