Bai Ling wakes up and realizes that he's been hit by lightning and that he needs to get out of the way of the rain. He's also worried about what his friends are going to do to him now that they've rescued him. He asks them to bring him a medicine box and a long rope so he can get away. He also asks if they're going to give him an acupuncture needle to help him feel better. They're not going to, he says, because it's going to hurt him. They don't seem to want him to hurt them, he tells them. He tells them that he has a soul, which he can use to gather the soul of someone who has been killed by lightning. He wants to know why they didn't save him when he was hit by the lightning. Bai Ling explains that zhu hang has been harmed by lightning, and that his body needs to be preserved for a long time before it can be decomposed. He needs to know who the person is so that he can collect the soul and preserve the body.
