Not surprisingly, it makes sense, this is a story that will end in death. The world's love, hate, and hatred are too much trouble and entanglement. Only by dying can we return to peace, and happiness can be stabilized. Despite the ominous hope, or the hidden danger of evil, it seems that it is better to leave this mortalcoil after all. I don't know if there is some religious implication, but the characters in the play are always fettered by too many evils born of love in this world, hesitating between career/academic and family. At first glance, one step is wrong, one step is wrong. In fact, there is no chance to do the right thing at all. Because of fate, there is no other way, and then reincarnation, living like Sisyphus, and refusing to drink Meng Po soup when he dies. Until everyone has become a ghost, it seems that the balance of strength and the basic contradiction have been resolved. Maybe this is the so-called afterlife. After all, sinners who are unrepentant can't go anywhere else. The sound effects are terrifying, the light and shadow settings are terrifying, and scenes such as murder and bloodshed, cutting and stitching corpses are terrifying, but in the theory of "Monster Cat", this is just a "shape". The terrifying "truth" is not the undead of another world, nor is it the chaos, weirdness and madness of Yin and Yang, but the blindness of the heart and the blind obedience of action. The "reason" is: they breed conjectures and doubts, and nurture the bond of evil.
