that criminals use feudal superstition and other means to set up traps step by step to lure the masses into being deceived on the grounds of treating diseases, eliminating disasters, and exorcising ghosts, bringing huge economic losses and mental harm to the people.

Everyone must believe in science, get rid of feudal superstition, and enhance awareness of prevention. When encountering situations where you need to pay money to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters, you must be vigilant and stay away.
