Was it something Master did? No, no, it shouldn't be like that. Firstly, there was no reason for Master to do such a thing, considering we were both his disciples—where was the sense in a master harming his disciple? Secondly, if Master really wanted to rig something, why would he hand me the yellow cloth bag? Without it, the chances of successfully dealing with the zombie would have been even slimmer.
