Somebody rack their brains with me. Chapter 74 left me thinking about the reason why the killer is doing all of this.
Psychologically speaking, it makes sense why the killer (I'm going to say K for short) has no remorse or hesitation over taking people's lives. Cain said the guy was "normal", meaning K probs doesn't think dying is a big deal because you can just "live" again as ghost. We know his character, but what is the reason?
Let's start to before he even met Noah. K had killed various people, mostly young vulnerable women (vulnerable in the sense they are easy to manipulate either from black-mailing or scamming). It is obvious it is not his first time, but why now is he known? I think he started killing people because he probs wanted to have a ghost army. I don't understand why he might since, sure, he could gain more eyes, ears and limbs but like the only benefit he could get from that is either for some type of blackmailing/intel business or something related to taking over the Ark, the actual people who would be directly affected if someone appeared with a whole ass ghost the size of a skyscraper. The face/skin thing probs started because he realized not all people who died turns into a ghost, and since ghosts tend to linger around where, why and by what they died, the ppl he kills must be forcefully/physically connected or linked to him. Like, who would say I would cooperate with the guy, right? For example, James. How the hell did he even meet or create James in the first place? There doesn't seem to be particularly any reason James would follow his orders since I don't think the entity was scammed or blackmailed.
I think the whole mystery is related to the Ark. The reason K has been doing this for so long without getting caught is because of Ark probably protecting him. Since Ark has norms and taxes, they must have some type of protection law for active members and services. It seems most Ark members are from rich families with long standing businesses, so would K be doing this for money or power? He doesn't seem to lack any so is it something related to the Ark in itself? Does having many ghosts underlings grant you recognition in the society? I don't think that would be the reason. There could have been other ways. I don't think he is doing this to create his own ghost army since, seeing as how easy it is for him to manipulate a whole town of ghosts, doesnt stop him from hunting Noah...
