After securing the piece of paper, Li Ang heard Xing Hechou speak seriously, "Just like the psychologist Carl Gustav Jung divided the personality into three layers—consciousness, personal unconscious, and collective unconscious—the Shengnan King's Dream also possesses these three layers. We are currently in the layer of the collective unconscious, where wandering urban legends of all kinds from around the world coalesce. This layer is the outermost sediment of the King of Shengnan's psyche.
The next layer, the personal unconscious, will still consist of urban legend-style stories. According to theory, these are fragments suppressed and forgotten by the King of Shengnan—a series of suppressed, emotion-laden notion clusters.
If we can uncover the emotional core of the second layer's strange tales, we will be able to see the essence of the King of Shengnan."
