In this chapter, we learn that ake is the nephew of zicheng, and that he was sent to the capital by jiangnan when he was there. Ake tells us that when he first came to the future, he sent someone to investigate him, but now that he knows his true identity, he does not want to tell the man that he came from the past. He says that if he were to tell him that the future was going to be a bad one, then history would be distorted, and the people of the future would not be able to understand what happened to them. He tells the man his real name is tangjiao, and he says that he has been playing in the sea every day since he arrived in the future.
