In this chapter, Ming Yang is the only person in the valley who is able to see the latest developments. He tells the others that he is sorry to see them in such a state, but that he knows that no one will be able to find out about it. He wants to know where they came from, and how they came to be in this state, and he asks them to drink a jug of alcohol. He also asks why they look so familiar, and they tell him that it is because they are familiar with him from their childhood. Ming Yang wants to go find Doctor Ming, but Ming Yang tells him that he cannot come back to the valley because he is condemned to die. He asks Ming Yang if he is brave enough to leave the valley, and Ming Yang replies that he will have to try to do so before he finds out. He then tells Ming Yang that he has the ability that Ming Yang used to poison him, and that this is the first time he has used it, and it does not feel bad. He reminds Ming Yang and the other two men that they have come to his place to help him, but he tells them not to let the blond man escape.
