Although he is not an upright man, he promises to do what he can to get the "awakening grass" from the child. As long as the child can live well, he says, he will have no regrets. He tells the other ghost-hunters to hurry up and help him clean up the blood on the child's body. The child is handsome and good-looking, and he asks the ghost hunters to stay away from him for a while. The bug will pierce the heart, and the pain will be unbearable. The other ghost tells him that the bug has been transferred to the child, and thanks him for his help. He says that the child will be separated from the bug within seven days, and that he has something important to accomplish. He asks if he can stay for a few days, but he is afraid that he will be killed in the next few hours. He wants to die alone, so he tells the ghost hunter to show him the way out.
