The director didn't answer Wen Yan. He just held his thermos, slowly sipping tea, watching Wen Yan's expression. After a long while, he finally spoke.
"Old Wang was the last person who could enter the Old Ice Warehouse.
He thought someone died because of him, felt guilty, and got used by some things.
Now he can only be trapped in the mirror, stuck guarding the entrance to the old office building, never able to return.
If he wants to come back, there's only one slight possibility—if he's completely, utterly dead, then maybe his corpse could come back.
I hope your thinking matches your words. We can't let ourselves feel guilty over someone else doing evil and causing deaths.
I know, it's human nature, but at the very least, we absolutely can't let that kind of thought take hold, because dying isn't the worst consequence.
If, because of guilt, something takes advantage of your weakness, the destruction that follows may be worse than just a few deaths."
