1. Why did Annie give birth to charlie? Didn't she try her best to miscarry when she was pregnant with Peter? I didn't want to have children, so I gave birth to two. --Okay, the unintended pregnancy is reluctant to explain, but in fact it doesn't look like her relationship with steven.

2. Why is Annie willing to hand over charlie to her current care, knowing that her mother is potentially dangerous to the children? In Western society, any normal mother would never leave her child to someone else to raise. Annie also knew that her mother had tried to perform the paimon possession ritual on her brother, which caused her brother to commit suicide. In order to prevent her from reaching her son Peter, she would not let her mother approach Peter, so Annie was wary of her mother. It's also very strong on its own. According to the introduction, Annie felt guilty, so she gave Charlie to her mother to raise her. However, through Annie's speech to her mother's funeral, and when she returned home from the funeral, she asked Peter "should we be sad?" There is not much love, no love, how can there be guilt? Some people say that Annie has a split personality and sometimes obeys her mother. But the split personality is temporary, it won't be split for 13 years (charlie's age), and it will always be submissive? And Steven, as the child's father, can actually agree to give his own flesh and blood to others?

3. The cultists are so powerful, why do they engage in so many idiots? Isn't their purpose to gather the number of sacrifices, and then let paimon possess it? It can be done directly with a big move. . Especially the death of charlie took so much trouble. . So many moths, hey, it's purely to scare the audience on purpose
