In 2016, Xiaoxing (pseudonym), who was still in high school, met the reincarnation of "Manjusri Bodhisattva". This seemingly absurd opening to ordinary people turned out to be the beginning of Xiaoxing's nightmare for the next seven years. Over the past seven years, she has been under constant mental control by the other party, and she has suffered huge physical, mental, and financial harm.
Xiaoxing recalled that she met Xue through online chat. At first, Xiaoxing just thought that the other party was good at the so-called "metaphysics" and could answer some of the problems he encountered in daily life through divination and other methods. Xiaoxing admired Xue very much and often sent some snacks to Xue as requested to express her gratitude. Unexpectedly, after a period of time, Xue said that he was able to do calculations because he was the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva and had the "script" of the real world in his hand, so he could know many things.
Xue is no longer satisfied with the snacks sent by Xiaoxing. She claimed that she lived in a high-dimensional world in her previous life, while Xiaoxing lived in a low-dimensional world. In her previous life, she paid a lot of money and effort to help Xiaoxing without seeking fame or fortune, so Xiaoxing needs to repay the debt she owed Xue in her previous life.
After instilling this idea into Xiaoxing for a period of time, in the second half of 2018, Xue began to ask for money from Xiaoxing, saying that this was Xiaoxing’s way of repaying his debts. If he did not obey, Xiaoxing’s future life would be endless. Bad luck. At that time, Xiaoxing's mind was not yet mature. She believed Xue's rhetoric and agreed to it, giving a total of tens of thousands of yuan.
Starting in the second half of 2019, Xue asked Xiaoxing to give her 10,000 yuan per month, and later even transferred 3,000 to 5,000 yuan every day. In addition, Xiaoxing also helped Xue clear his shopping cart and pay for his daily expenses. At the same time, Xue also set a rule that if Xiaoxing cannot transfer money on time or fails to complete other tasks assigned by her, she will receive corresponding "punishment." Many times, just because Xiaoxing wore the wrong clothes, didn't order the takeout that Xue wanted to eat, or said the wrong thing, she would be abused, corporally punished, and even filmed with indecent videos. Personal insults are all glorified into "training" that Xiaoxing must undergo. In order to meet Xue's endless material needs, Xiaoxing not only stopped studying abroad and transferred all tuition and living expenses to Xue, but also asked her family to sell a house on the grounds of academic needs.
In order for Xiaoxing to continue to support himself, Xue asked Xiaoxing to learn to do live broadcasts, and sent a "magic general" Feng to guide Xiaoxing's operations. Feng is Xue's former colleague and has experience in the live broadcast industry. At first, Feng only taught remotely, but the videos shot by Xiaoxing were always difficult to satisfy Xue, and he never gained much profit.
In order to make Xiaoxing "progress" and improve the effect of "cultivation", in September 2023, the unemployed Feng wanted to go to Xiaoxing's city to find other development opportunities, so Xue asked Feng to give Xiaoxing "face-to-face instruction" ", and this is also a means for Xue to monitor Xiaoxing and prevent him from getting rid of control.
After that, Xue became more wanton and reckless. She even arranged a route to let Xiaoxing sneak into northern Myanmar to engage in electronic fraud, so that she could make more money for her. Feng, who originally watched with a cold eye, was opposed to this plan. She was worried that sending Xiaoxing there would cause death, and the two had differences.
Because he was worried that Xiaoxing would really go to northern Myanmar, Feng chose to expose Xue's lies to Xiaoxing, saying that "reincarnation" and "cultivation" were just lies. But Xiaoxing, who had been under mental control for seven years, didn't want to believe it. Feng had to find Xiaoxing's family to persuade him, and Xiaoxing finally woke up. In February this year, Xiaoxing, who had escaped from mind control, chose to call the police.
Recently, the Songjiang District People’s Procuratorate of Shanghai launched a public prosecution against Xue on suspicion of fraud. The crime of Xue scolding and beating Xiaoxing and causing intentional harm to Xiaoxing has been dealt with in a separate case.
Prosecutors believe that Xiaoxing was a mentally immature minor when she met Xue. As an adult more than ten years older than Xiaoxing, Xue used his interest in divination and fortune-telling to instill his own thoughts into the victim. For 7 years, Xiaoxing was trapped in the lie fabricated by Xue about "cultivating in this life to atone for the sins of the past life". Based on this concept, she believed that she should obey Xue, including giving her money and accepting her punishment. After investigation, Xue asked Xiaoxing to pay a total of more than RMB 2.84 million in accordance with his requirements. All of the money was used by Xue for personal consumption and shopping.
