Once Shen Dinghai followed Ranran's train of thought, he felt that everything was connected."Luo Ku was so angry at Luo Minglin for opening the door without permission to see a stranger. Was it because it was Minglin who reported the case when it happened?" Sunshine tutted, "Very likely." "His attitude towards Zhenzi and Minglin is not just simple partiality and favoritism. It must also be related to Minglin reporting the case and disrupting his plans." Ran Ran recalled the question at the beginning - who is the cornerstone of the Terror Cave. "So what role did Mako play in this? She [ate vegetables], is she the same as Luoku?" Shen Dinghai immediately said, "I don't know about Zhenzi, but Minglin must be fine, right? It was he who reported the case that made Luo Guo's death known to the public, and when Luo Ku was preparing the horrific dinner, Minglin was not there at all. Does this mean that he didn't eat those things?" This view was unanimously recognized. Ran Ran recalled Luo Minglin's reserved look in the family photo and couldn't help but murmur, "Is he really an outsider?" Then she recalled another detail, "The witness I questioned called Luo Minglin... the youngest son of the Luo family." "But Luo Minglin is obviously the older brother, and Zhenzi is the younger sister."
As an only child, Yangguang didn't quite understand why Ranran was so obsessed with this point. "But he is indeed the youngest son in the family, isn't he? After all, there is only one son, so he can be the oldest or the youngest." Shen Dinghai disagreed, "You can't say that. Normally, if you call Luo Minglin like that, it means he has older brothers and sisters, but we all know he doesn't." Yangguang scratched his head. "It's possible that the witness was wrong?" Ran Ran didn't think it would be like this, "The witnesses might be wrong, but Kong Dong wouldn't be wrong, we have to believe..." "If this is really a script-killing, it is also an extremely sophisticated script-killing that requires the cost of life." Shen Dinghai nodded, "The admission ticket is as valuable as human life, and I don't think Kongdong will make such a small mistake to mislead us." In order to verify, the four split into three groups again, only to find out one piece of information - who is the older one between Luo Minglin and Mako. The final result shocked them. Both answers have many supporters. Shen Dinghai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What's going on? Are these guys playing tricks on us?" Ran Ran shook her head. "It should be similar to the previous situation. No one lied. They just said what they thought was the truth." "But this is very interesting. Some people think that the Luo family had the real son first and then Luo Minglin, so they call Luo Minglin the youngest son. Some people think that the Luo family had Luo Minglin first and then the real son..." "Both impressions were created by Luo Ku and Luo Guo. We cannot be sure which one is true, but one thing is certain." "One of Luo Minglin and Zhenzi must not be related to Luo Kuluoguo by blood. They are so close in age in the eyes of others, but no one thinks they are twins." "Everyone just thought that soon after the birth of one child, the Luo family had a second child." Shen Dinghai just nodded and asked, "Then who is the adopted one?" Ran Ran shook her head. "No, now the focus becomes why Luo Ku and Luo Guo want to adopt a child." "They obviously have a healthy child, don't they? Both Zhenzi and Luo Minglin look healthy, so they are not afraid that their own child will die and so they adopt another one just in case." Ran Ran paused and suddenly came to a surprising conclusion.
"Is it possible that Luo Ku and Luo Guo adopted the child just to eat him?" "Ah?!!!" The three of them frowned at the same time, "This, this, this... is too perverted!" Ran Ran continued: "If this is true, then it can be confirmed that Luo Minglin is the one who was adopted, because he has no right to eat people." "He was the one being eaten." "Mako's words can also confirm this - only she can eat it, not even Luoku." "When Luo Minglin first entered the Luo family, he was there as Zhenzi's reserve food." Shen Dinghai was already trembling, "Cousin, where do these horrible thoughts in your mind come from?" Ran Ran frowned and spread his hands, "Reasonable guess?" Yangguang couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, "Reserve food... Evil boy, can't you guess the idea of a child raising a husband?" Ran Ran thought for a moment and shook his head firmly, "It is reasonable to reserve grain. Only in this way can we explain why the Luo family lived in peace and harmony for so many years, but Luo Ku killed Luo Guo in one day." "Because there is a problem with the food reserves." Yangguang was stunned. "Although your logic sounds very smooth, I still can't understand it." Ran Ran curled her lips, "I now even suspect that Luo Guo's return to his hometown is related to this issue." "Cousin..." Shen Dinghai raised his hand weakly, "Can we be a little less jumpy in our thinking? Can we talk about it bit by bit?" Ran Ran said helplessly: "This speculation is based on the previous speculations." "The decision to adopt a child could not have been made by Luo Ku alone, and from the outside world's perspective, Luo Ku and Luo Guo have a very good relationship, so I speculate..." "Luo Guo knew from the beginning why she adopted Luo Minglin. Even the decision to adopt Luo Minglin was made jointly by her and Luo Ku." "If Luo Ku really believes in cannibalism, where does his belief come from? I think it has something to do with his origins." Ran Ran said slowly: "Whether it is the clan belief or the regional belief of Luo Ku's hometown, we must not forget one thing..." "Luo Guo's last name is also Luo." Ranran uttered these five words slowly, which inexplicably gave people a sense of horror. "Yes!" Shen Dinghai's expression was grim. "The setting of the Minglong Road Terror Cave is obviously not in ancient times. Why didn't we think of this... The wife and husband have the same surname, so it's obviously not the husband's surname, and it's not a coincidence..." "Luo Guo and Luo Ku are from the same place." Ran Ran continued calmly, "So they have the same beliefs, the same customs, and they all believe that [eating people] is right." Shen Dinghai and Yang Guang felt their hair stand on end when they heard this. "What kind of faith would believe that eating people is justified? How could anyone still believe in such an evil thing?!" Ran Ran shrugged. "Can't faith be evil? This kind of thing is like this. It sounds very holy and beautiful, but in fact, deep down in people's hearts, they don't even consider its legitimacy. Everyone thinks..." "As long as we give people strength, so that they have a reason to continue living in the world, people can forgive all the evil things done by faith, even cannibalism." Many horrific incidents caused by pagans suddenly popped up in Shen Dinghai's mind, "That must be... brainwashing..." Ran Ran smiled softly, "Brainwashing always has to have a foundation. Paganism's methods may be gradual, but the wrong doctrine is wrong from the beginning."
“Don’t many brainwashed people know that it is wrong? Of course they know, but those mistakes are not as important as their feelings and needs.” "Human nature is selfish." Ran Ran said slowly: "So those who can restrain their selfish nature are called saints." (End of this chapter)
