Fang Xiu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Is this the Dean's purpose? To allow Destiny to see the other side?
What about the gift? What about the truth?
It seems that all paths lead to the other side. Could it be that... the gift and the truth are both on the other side?
But with Yang Ming's current strength, going to the other side would mean certain death, as the other side is inhabited by the Taotie.
No matter how strong the destiny is, it's impossible for Yang Ming to defeat Taotie at this stage; it's simply unrealistic.
Fang Xiu even doubted whether there was anyone in the entire world who could defeat a being like Taotie.
Let alone a third-tier spirit master, even a legendary fifth-tier spirit master who has awakened 100% of their spirituality would find it unrealistic to defeat the Taotie.
At this moment, Fang Xiu began to understand why Dean Zhou Qingfeng's ideal was to initiate the transformation of the entire population into the bizarre.
Perhaps it was because he had been to the other side, witnessed the bizarre and true power, and recognized the despairing gap that he had this idea.
Perhaps Zhou Qingfeng truly is a person with the world in his heart, and he is saving the world in his own way.
However, this approach was unacceptable to Fang Xiu, because his ideal was to make all the strange creatures in the world suffer and create a world without the bizarre.
The two are completely opposed.
etc.......
Upon realizing this, Fang Xiu suddenly understood that something was wrong.
He suddenly understood the dean's true purpose!
After witnessing the other side myself, I was able to understand the dean's ideals by following this line of thought. So what if Yang Ming went to the other side?
If a normal person heard the dean's ideals, they would definitely think he was anti-human and a complete villain.
But after seeing the other side, normal logical thinking will make you start to agree with the dean, even if not completely agree, you will also have some understanding of the dean.
And doubts about whether humanity can truly overcome the supernatural.
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will eventually take root and sprout.
Perhaps this is the effect the dean wanted; he wanted Yang Ming to agree with his ideals and even become a like-minded person.
This is the reason why the Dean left the Gate to the Other Shore!
Once Fang Xiu understood this, his thinking suddenly became much clearer.
The dean didn't want Yang Ming to go to his death on the other side, but rather to make him realize the gap between them after he went in.
He had fallen into a cognitive trap because he had died too many times.
It's obvious that as long as you don't step into the Taotie's feeding area, the Taotie won't notice you.
The reason I died was because I always took the initiative to get close to them.
If it were Yang Ming who entered, with the protection of destiny, he would certainly not get close to Taotie, but he would observe it.
In this way, the dean's goal was achieved.
In other words, in the dean's plan, Yang Ming was supposed to enter the other side, and he himself was an accident.
However, when faced with the bizarre attacks of snakes and insects, Yang Ming was unable to reach the other side.
Here comes the key point: the trick is to turn around!
Turning around, it's a trick—it's a "key!"
The dean left behind bodyguards for Yang Ming to enter the other side!
If I weren't part of the story, everything might actually have gone according to the dean's plan.
Yang Ming led his team into the mental hospital. Even without the help of foresight, under the influence of destiny, he would eventually reach the Ghost of Return and be possessed by it.
Others, unaware of the pattern, might be killed by the Ghostly Return, but Yang Ming certainly wouldn't be.
Fang Xiu was absolutely certain of this.
Because he had witnessed the power of destiny, the graveyard of life and death in the Nightmare Realm, he had died many times before he finally understood the pattern and emerged.
Yang Ming and his clone almost became sworn brothers, walking out hand in hand.
Yang Ming ran madly along the odd-numbered, bizarre steps, managing not to step on a single one, making it a smooth ride.
Therefore, even when facing the Ghostly Return, Fang Xiu was certain that he would not die.
If the "Turning Back" trick fails to trigger the killing pattern, it will continue to follow Yang Ming, acting as his bodyguard.
Then Yang Ming saw the torn paper, learned about the dean's ideals, and then opened the gate to the other side. Snakes and insects circled around him, and he successfully entered the other side.
It doesn't matter if the other side is not suitable for human survival. Don't forget that Yang Ming has the Corpse-Suppressing Pearl, which can keep him alive for a short time. This is enough for him to see the Taotie, realize the gap between them, shake his own beliefs, and begin to fall into despair.
Even in despair, Yang Ming, with his kind heart, finds it hard to go against his conscience and give up on saving humanity.
At this moment, the dean's ideal will shine into Yang Ming's heart like a ray of light, making him agree with it, even if he doesn't agree at the time, the seed has definitely been planted.
If I'm not mistaken, the true location of the gift will only be revealed after the Gate to the Other Shore is opened.
At this moment, Fang Xiu finally understood why, even though the dean clearly had the means to erase his existence, his information was still left on the parchment, the torn pieces of paper, and the photographs.
It will only disappear after it is seen by someone.
So it turns out... it was all part of a setup!
A meticulously planned scheme targeting Yang Ming!
This plan began the moment Aoyama Mental Hospital appeared!
Why did Qingshan Mental Hospital appear in Green Vine City? Because Yang Ming is the captain of Green Vine City.
Why were Zhao Hao and I able to leave such a terrifying mental hospital alive?
The death rollback was indeed part of the reason, but the most crucial reason was... that Aoyama Mental Hospital had an emergency exit!
Without this exit, rolling back ten thousand times won't help.
The dean deliberately kept him there for three reasons.
First, in order to get rid of the strange creatures in the mental hospital, as the seal on the ward weakens, the strange creatures will eventually be released and reach the outside world through the exit, causing chaos and attracting Yang Ming's attention.
