Xia Yang's dangerousness was by no means less than Situ An's, but his photograph taken posthumously was so powerful that Gao Ming found it difficult to give up.
A painter with a terminal illness had used the initial photograph granted by the Shadow World to become the leader of all players in the disaster era.
In a movie, Xia Yang's dramatically filled life might have been more suitable for the protagonist.
No one could truly understand Xia Yang, nor could anyone guess his thoughts.
Many of his actions were baffling, such as when he learned that Gao Ming had seen many futures and had decided to kill him, his choice was to fuse himself with the photograph in an unprecedented way.
As a result, it seemed that no matter what future Gao Ming saw, it was impossible to realize.
Gao Ming couldn't kill someone who was already dead, and Xia Yang wouldn't kill Gao Ming either, but chose a more secretive way to replace him.
