In this chapter, we are told that the poison that was used to kill Bo is back and that his condition is getting worse. He asks Bo to take his bone ash and sprinkle it in the lake or he can just bury him anywhere he likes. Bo says that he hasn't heard from him since the last time he was poisoned, and he asks Bo if he wants to stay alive. Bo asks if he has any location preferences, and Bo replies that he doesn't want to stay in the palace or anywhere else, because his soul will always be bothered by hell. Bo tells Bo to lie down, and asks him if he needs to see him out. He says that since he was treated last time, the poison has attacked again, and his condition gets worse. Bo tries to calm him down, saying that he's been waiting for someone to come to him to finish his task, but he can't find anyone. He tells Bo that he has to drink with him to kill time, and they go to the mansion of Gommanders, where Bo says he'll drink with them to "kill time" . He's not sure if he likes the wet or the cold, but it's clear that he likes to drink. He thanks Bo for his hospitality, and tells him that without him, he might have died many years ago. He also says that, since he left the tower, he'd never enjoyed wine as much as he does now, and that he wishes he could just drink one cup at a time, so that he wouldn't have to worry about what Bo is doing. He then says that the letter he received from Bo invites him to visit Bo's mother's tomb in the doctor's house in the western suburb of Shanghai, which Bo says is strange, because he gave Bo the letter in person
