Suyitong asks if he is responsible for the poison pool. He says that blackball did a lot for him, and that he is not asking him to wait forever, but that he should not wait for him. He tells him that it is not proper for him to talk about small talk, because it is too late for small talk. The poison pool, he says, is the source of the hostility between the two of them. He explains that he has fallen into the form of the phantom butterfly, and the only thing he can do is wait. He is sure that he will not be able to kill him, because he is so wise.
