Partly because of Nianzhi, tbh. Partly because why not? He's had 10k years -- more than enough time to try everything. Why wouldn't have have spent a few centuries as a rock before figuring out an escape, swearing never again, and reframing his power as "can only inhabit other people."
After replying to all the comments here, my current interpretation is that a) Minister Gao considers Dixing itself to be the enemy now
So simply not distinguishing between Dixingren who are friends and Dixingren who are foe? That makes sense, especially given prevailing attitudes in Haixing bureaucracy, and is also absolute proof that Minister Gao is no longer fit for his office. Yeah...
