WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Everything seemed perfectly fine on the surface, which proves something abnormal must have triggered this disaster.”

In traditional Chinese folklore, fox spirits bewitch mortals with charms; breaking or tampering with such supernatural pacts inevitably leads to horrific backlash (反噬).
