At a deeper level, every individual is connected to each other.

As for where I come from?

The teachings say that everyone comes from the same black lotus.

One person corresponds to one lotus root of the black lotus.

This resonates with the fact that everyone is both an individual and a part of the whole.

The doctrine also says that the Black Lotus God was born from the bud of this lotus.

Everyone possesses the Black Lotus God, a part of the divinity.

This part of the divinity temporarily resides in the physical body.

The purpose of having believers cast statues out of their flesh and blood is to allow them to see as early as possible the fact that flesh and blood are impermanent and will eventually decay and rot.

As for “where am I going”?

The Black Lotus Sect’s answer is that after a person dies, the divinity will leave the body as a carrier and return to the lotus root of the black lotus.

However, the lotus root on a black lotus is definitely close to or far from the core lotus that gave birth to the Black Lotus God.

Those who do not believe in the Black Lotus God can only temporarily live in lotus roots farther away, and will soon return to the body of flesh and blood to suffer.

Until he realized that his essence, that is, his divinity, was part of the black lotus.

As for those who slander and destroy the Black Lotus Sect, they will enter the corrupt lotus root after death.

Rotting and stinking in the mud, their divinity will be polluted and obliterated.

And those believers who believe in the Black Lotus God will eventually enter the lotus root closest to the Black Lotus God.

The distance from the Black Lotus God is determined by the devotion of one's faith, that is, how much one has paid.

The closer you are to the Black Lotus God, the greater the blessing of divine light you will receive.

The more divinity there is!

Those believers who are relatively far away will still fall into reincarnation after a period of time because their faith is not sincere enough.

But after being blessed by the Black Lotus God, he will enter a wealthy and powerful family and live a life without worries.

As the divinity of believers who are closer to the Black Lotus God continues to grow, they will eventually become one with the Black Lotus God.

At that time, you will also gain true immortality.

"Ugh, what an outrageous doctrine!"

After reading it carefully, Shen Ting felt that no one with a normal mind would believe this.

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether others believe it or not.

The key is!

If the Cloaked Man truly believed in this doctrine, what would he do?

Shen Ting pondered for a moment, but still felt that he didn't have any good ideas.

There's no way around it. The brain circuits of a psychopathic murderer are too difficult to simulate.

Shen Ting really couldn't figure out what the cloaked man was going to do.

This is also the most uncomfortable part of criminal investigation.

Even if you can't think of it, you have to think about it.

It’s like you’ve been constipated for many days, but you’re forced to resolve the problem in three minutes. It’s so uncomfortable.

It is a double torture to the body and mind.

"That feeling that was about to come out before, basically no longer has any intention of 'coming out'."

Shen Ting pursed his lips and continued to look through the case materials:

From the layout of the cliff cave in Taihang Mountains to the physical evidence in the vegetable store.

From the surveillance footage of the cloaked man searching for his target in the scenic area, to the testimony of the old man who tried to scam people.

From his conspicuous cloak to his walking posture that Shen Ting always found strange...

"Hey, wait!"

After going through all the key or minor details of the case.

These details suddenly sparked an idea in Shen Ting's mind.

An idea that made him feel a little relieved, but also frightened deep down.

The key is!

Shen Ting thought along this line and surprisingly felt it was very smooth.

“Well, I can’t say it was smooth.

It can only be considered reasonable.”

But it is amazing that the thought process of this murderer can find a reasonable direction.

More importantly, if Shen Ting's idea was correct, then he probably knew where to go to look for the cloaked man.
