Watching the bewildered and incredulous gazes directed at him, Wang Chen couldn't help but smile knowingly.
He had actually anticipated such a reaction from everyone.
After all, the word 'curse' had appeared in Gelin Village for decades.
Over such a long period, the fear brought by the curse had subtly become ingrained in the villagers' bones.
To put it simply, it was like a kind of habitual thinking.
Just like when we were very little, our parents instilled in us that ghosts are terrifying and deities are sacred.
So as we grew up, we were convinced that ghosts are frightening, bringing only fear and dread, while deities are great, offering us light and goodness.
But is that really the case?
If we think carefully, the answer might not be a definitive yes because there are very few people in the world who have seen ghosts, and even fewer who have seen so-called deities.
Those are just things the older generation fantasized about.
