A ridiculous story, right, Alice? Feel free to laugh if you want...

It does sound ridiculous. However...

Whether it is just idle gossip or not, as long as there are still people who believe in it, the danger of your situation will not change.

It is the reason you were attacked too, is it not?

Argh, I know, I know. The bad guys believe in this shit.

I'll be ready to deal with them when they come again. That's about the only thing I can do, right?
