Qiushan, seeing this, declared resolutely:

"I understand, victory means life, defeat means death. I've thought it through. Even if I lose, I won't blame Mister. Even if it means dying, I accept it. Rather than living in this earthly purgatory, I'd rather die and become a vengeful spirit of this purgatory. It would be more comforting."

Xu Qingzhou continued to gaze into Qiushan's eyes. What he saw was that Qiushan was not lying, nothing more.

However, he still had concerns, not simply because of fear, but because this was inherently an unsolvable situation.
