Bi Shi briefly explained to her what had just happened, and He Su nodded before dozing off again.
I looked at her and said to Qinghan, "If things really don't work out, you can consider her as emergency rations."
Qinghan chuckled lightly, easing the tense atmosphere, but the surrounding mist didn't dissipate; danger still lurked around us, and unlikely that the sea had only those tumor-like creatures. Who knew how many of those parasitic jellyfish were out there?
"Sigh... Hey, do you think that curse is real?" Bi Shi suddenly asked out of the blue.
"Huh? What?" I replied lazily.
"The curse."
"Never heard of it."
"I heard someone put a curse on you."
"Who? Never mind, I don't want to know. Anyway, curses have no scientific basis; only superstitious folks like you would believe in such things."
Bi Shi took on the role of a Priest, primarily leading the tribe in praying to ancient forces, hoping to receive their help.
