In this chapter, we learn that the peony pavilion has been closed and that the three remaining characters have been invited to enter the book of the dead. The three of them decide that they will enter the game, but they are interrupted by huanhuan, who tells them that they must hurry up because the yellow vests will catch them. He tells them to hurry up, otherwise those vests will get them. The peony pavilion is closed, and the three decide to enter it, but huan interrupts them to tell them that it is not open, and that they should hurry up. He then tells them about the ancient Egyptians who believed that one would experience multiple hardships upon entering the afterlife. The ancient Egyptians placed great importance on maintaining the dead body, and guiding it into its afterlife. Aww, congratulations! The three men enter the tent, where they are greeted by thud, who asks them if they are part of a three-player expedition. He also tells them the story of the woman who asked him to show them the peony pavilions. He explains that he saw the question, and knew that the game would be difficult, so he had to be sure that he was not alone in the game. He says that he hasn't seen huan since he left the city, and he is still crazy as ever, but that they could die together in this game. They decide to get along and complete the game together
