Sadness welled up in Hua Jin's heart.
How pathetic were these believers to believe in an evil cult that was so entrenched that they would not even let innocent children off! The child was so young. He did not even understand what was going on. His helpless eyes kept looking around, frightened by the shrill screams of the people around him.
