But there's always an exception to everything. Any slight probability in the world, when magnified over a long period, will eventually shine a streak of radiance across the ages.
This streak of radiance is Old Mo.
His will met the requirements of the "Fog Nightmare Hunter," and his body... happened to undergo a blood change during the first "binding," replacing his human flesh with extraordinary material.
Even though the material back then was rudimentary, it allowed him to successfully take that step forward.
After that, with the deliberate guidance and subtle nurturing of the Convenience Store Owner, Old Mo has embarked on the path of the "Mourner."
Why can Old Mo take this path?
Because he isn't like a blind man feeling an elephant.
The Convenience Store Owner happens to be someone who stands at the endpoint of this path, and he is naturally very clear about the road traveled.
