Shh, don't make a sound, or "they" will hear you.
--"They" walk without making a sound so they can catch the sound of your footsteps.
Shh, and absolutely do not go outside at night, or you'll run into the wandering "ones."
--"They" roam the streets, searching for your hiding place.
Shh, don't put out the candle, and don't answer any strange knocking at the door.
--When "they" are hungry, they knock. When "they" are full, they shriek with laughter.

Seventeen years after being born into this world, the System finally arrived in Zuo Jingyan's life.
Along with it came her appointment as the sole shaman of the Zuo clan, tasked with protecting her people from the threat of giant beasts.
On one side were the giant beasts lying in wait. On the other was the System's mission to collect ritual vessels. The kind of pressure that would crush an ordinary person was nothing to Zuo Jingyan. She simply smiled.
After all, she was a shaman who served gods and spirits, a shaman revered by all.

Zuo Jingyan: It's dark. I'm going out to do a mission.
Yue Xiao, with puppy-dog eyes: But, Senior, you can't go out at night. It's dangerous outside.
Zuo Jingyan pointed at her forehead. Don't worry. I'm not quite right in the head.
A moment later, Zuo Jingyan found Yue Xiao at the destination, looking innocent.
Yue Xiao pointed at his own head. I'm not quite right in the head either.
