And thus, the plan continues and the team continue to scare him to the extent that he ends up making his way to Do-gi, even coming to the point of forcefully meeting the latter after being rejected once. His faith in Do-gi is slowly built by the efforts of the team which scares him and pushes him to the point where he has no choice but to believe.
However, it was when Do-gi pretends to be possessed by Man-ju’s mother is when he is truly able to awaken Man-ju’s faith. Finally, he begins to listen to Do-gi and agrees to every condition that is put forth by the latter, along with his readiness to perform an exorcism.
Man-ju stops taking donations from his followers and wholeheartedly follows Do-gi’s orders all the way until the exorcism, however, the woman beside him isn’t able to understand this change and finds out where he is. During the exorcism, Jin-eon keeps an eye on Jin-sun and informs Do-gi when she loses consciousness.
This triggers Do-gi’s anger as he recalls the scene of Man-ju hitting his followers and begins to do the same to him. This is all witnessed by the woman who then adorns the robes of the Father of the cult and takes the lead to complete their goal.
