When the curator returns to the museum, he discovers that half of the exhibits have been stolen. He asks a friend of his to help him find the missing items, but the friend has already found the items and placed them in a laundry hamper. The curator asks the friend to take him to the "gardening services market" , where there are "four ghost markets" in the city. He finds a human-faced insect pupa, which is said to bring bad luck after hatching. The pupa bites the curator's gas pipe, and the curator is furious. He tells the friend that the curator asked him to come to the market, but that the man didn't show up, and that the pupa escaped and bit his gas pipe
