[I always feel like they're hiding something. My deceased aunt told everyone it was karma and that she should go to heaven.]

[I also feel something is wrong, but the patients in the same ward are always innocent. Why does she want to torment them too?]

[Perhaps too many people have died, leaving the Underworld short-staffed? Does that mean there aren't enough civil servants in the Underworld right now, and it's easier to get a job as a civil servant?]

[The kids upstairs are so exhausted from the exams. How pitiful.]

Su Yan: "Does your mother believe in something she shouldn't believe in, like a cult?"

Liu Yan nodded: "Yes, my mother has been very obsessed with a cult called "Almighty God" in recent years.

Because we both work in other places, we can only chat via video usually.

By the time we found out, she was already hooked.”

Five years ago, a neighbor waved Liu Yan into his home.

"Liu Yan, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

Liu Yan looked at her embarrassed expression and felt a little uneasy. She pretended to be calm and said, "We have been neighbors for many years. What's wrong with talking about this?"

You don't know my personality yet, I definitely won't get angry over some gossip."

Seeing that she was sincere in her words, the neighbors felt at ease to tell her everything unusual they had seen during this period.

"The family at the westernmost end of our village believed in a religion called something. They came to my house to spread the word, but I chased them away.

Then, we went to your house. Your mother was kind and couldn't bear to lose face, so she took her in and the two of them talked for a long time.

Two days later, she brought several more people over. These people were all riding electric bikes and it was obvious that they were not from our village.

When they arrived, your mother took the dog out and locked the door.

Several hours later, when I went upstairs to collect the quilts, I found that they had just come out of the living room.

Your mother walked in front, opened the door first, and then came out to check that there was no one in the alley before letting them out.

Moreover, they did not leave together, but chose to leave in three groups.

From that day on, a few people would come to your house every Tuesday and Friday, sometimes more, sometimes less, but most of them were people of the same age as your mother.

In addition to them, the missionaries who originally went to your home also brought two other people from the village to your home.

The four of them formed a circle and would go to the market together every time.

About three months ago, I heard crying in your house, so I looked inside from upstairs and found them dancing in the yard.

The dance moves were very funny, like a combination of the radio gymnastics my son learned and skipping rope on the street.

After they finished dancing, they knelt on the ground, crying and talking, mumbling something like: "I have committed sins before, please God punish me."

Ever since she became obsessed with this thing, your mother has stopped interacting with others and just watches videos on it every day.

Liu Yan, I'm speaking from the heart because you're such a good person: "I think if you don't intervene, something bad will happen to your mother sooner or later."

Liu Yan could no longer maintain the smile on her face: "Thank you, sister. I will tell her when I get home. I hope you can help keep this secret."

"Don't worry, your elder sister is not a gossipy person."

"After returning home, I went to my mother's room while she was away and found a lot of books and bracelets on the cabinet.

The content of the book is a fusion of several religions, and the general meaning is: the world is about to end, you can only survive if you believe in us, and only we can let you go to heaven after death.

After finding the evidence, I called everyone in the family together and prepared to persuade my mother.

"Mom, what a mess that letter is. I've thrown it away for you. Don't let them come to our house anymore."

Mother Liu snatched the bag from her hand and said, "These are all myths written by gods. If you touch them, there will be disasters in the future."

"My usually easygoing mother was incredibly persistent about this matter, even threatening to move out if we threw her things away.

Seeing that we still didn't agree, she simply resorted to a hunger strike and locked herself in the room, refusing to come out for meals."

"Looking at her face, which was pale from hunger, we finally chose to compromise and comforted ourselves in our hearts that no matter what she believed, as long as she was in good health, we would not care."

"With our tacit approval, she became even more aggressive. Not only did she go out with others to preach, she also persuaded her family to believe in Almighty God with her."

The worst thing is that her thinking has been changed. In her opinion, only those who believe in God are the real good people in the world, and all other people are demons.

These demons will drag her down to hell with them.

Because of this idea, she began to refuse to communicate with the people in the village. Every time we go home, someone would say that my mother now doesn’t talk when she sees the villagers, and won’t turn around when she is called.

Seeing that she was becoming more and more outrageous, we wanted to have another good talk with her, but before everyone in the family arrived, she fell ill.

What made me most angry was that after she fell ill, she refused to go to the hospital. She held her books and tape recorder and knelt on the bed to pray all day.

In a fit of anger, my brother and I forcibly threw her things away.

Unexpectedly, this completely touched my mother's sore spot. My mother, who had never hit me before, hit me for the first time and cursed us children as devils.

Seeing that the relationship had already been torn apart, he decided to go all out and directly took her to the hospital for treatment.

After arriving at the hospital, she kept bothering us, forcing us to send her back. While I was downstairs to buy food, she borrowed the phone at the nurse station to call her "sisters" and asked them to come over.

Those people were really brave. They just came over with their things and then knelt down to pray in the ward.

Of course, the other people in the ward couldn't stand her weird behavior, so they contacted the doctors and nurses to persuade these people to leave.

Because of this, she hated the old man in the same ward and the nurse who came out to chase her away, and that’s why she kept bothering them.”

The truth of the matter is so surprising. Isn't this "Almighty God" the cult they've been promoting? The theory they use most often seems to be based on Christianity.

So she felt that it was because of these people's troublemaking that she, who could have gone to heaven, was forced to go to hell, and that's why she kept coming back to torment them.

[Don't underestimate the power of cults. During Chinese New Year this year, someone came to our house to preach. There was a boy who looked underage.]

[Yes, the list of cults published by the state some time ago includes many highly educated people.]

This was the first time Su Yan encountered a ghost whose mind had been eroded to such an extent. She also understood that this kind of ghost could not be persuaded away by conventional means.

After all, she hasn't hurt anyone yet, so we can't just let her die.
