Shi Lang had tagged three people by the time the sun came up again. Most of the people were hiding and waiting for the night to pass, they did not have the aid of Zysha, and neither were they unknown about the native activity of this planet. Shi Lang came across a lot of native patrols and hunting parties but thanks to Zysha, he was able to avoid a run-in.
In the morning, Shi Lang and Zysha were sitting at the back of a cave. They were resting. The plan was to let the others come out and they will resume the game of tag. Zysha asked, "Why do you not face the natives?"
Shi Lang replied, "If I managed to kill some of them, the others will find out. Then they will gather more people for help, and this will harden the difficulty of the trial. I do not have such masochistic tendencies yet."
Zysha asked, "What do you mean by masochistic tendency?"
