Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。开场是一个赌局。对赌双方是解珍、解宝兄弟和当地大佬毛仲义。其实，憨头憨脑的哥哥解珍只是压脚助阵，狡猾嗜赌的弟弟解宝才是主角。解宝以一块上好的和田玉作赌注，这孤注一掷却输赢未卜…… 开场很简短，故事到此转入过去进行时。 顾大嫂正让解珍等人痛打老和。顾大嫂开赌局兼放高利贷，解珍给她看场子。过路客老和赌光了盘缠，本想赖账，捱不过痛打，从身上摸出一块玉来，号称是珍稀的和田玉。顾大嫂半信半疑，暂且把玉收了，限令老和天黑之前拿钱来赎。。
