I'm a priest in Hollywood

I don’t know if I didn’t write clearly or if some readers didn’t read carefully.

I clearly wrote that it was because the protagonist was affected by the curse and was temporarily lost in the nightmare. Later, the protagonist realized that he was affected by the curse and immediately broke the dream with the nine-character Taoist mantra.

If I don't write it like this, how can I show the power of the curse and how can the subsequent plot develop?

In this way, some people repeatedly use this as an excuse. Is it because they can't find other places to use it?

Explain this time for the last time, I won’t explain it again in the future!
