Her gun isn't nearly as useful as fire, but Peggy carries it regardless; she wouldn't feel safe without it. Though the jiangshi can sense the life in her, she's had years of practice in moving quickly and silently, out of sight. If she can't kill them, she can outmaneuver them.

She's just helped one of the kedan safely to the palace, but she doesn't waste anymore time before heading back out.

Where she finds herself ducking down a narrower street, with some unexpected jiangshi lurking - and another person, whom they seem to be ignoring. She's about to call if he's all right, but then she thinks she hears him laugh.

There's little time to dwell. One of the jiangshi starts for her, and she shoots once at it to slow it down, before pulling out her torch and lighter. She gets it lit just as two more begin to swiftly approach her, just as she sets the first one on fire.
