The Black Book: Uesugi Tetsu's Death, the Thousand Eyes Devoured! No Matter How Terrifying It Is, Can It Be More Terrifying Than Lord Magatsu?
There were only four brief lines of writing on the paper.
Uesugi Tetsu silently read it, then flipped it over. On the back were an exact time and a location.
It was probably telling him not to make sacrifices recklessly.
Huh. They're pretty particular.
Uesugi Tetsu knew without thinking who the "girl with Enma's Eye" was.
Aside from Kujo Machi, who could "see everything," whose eyes could be more special than hers?
However, what exactly was "Enma's Eye"?
It sounded extremely powerful, but why had it only manifested in Kujo Machi as the "see-everything" ability that was practically worse than having no ability at all?
"Enma... Could it be related to the so-called underworld, the netherworld, or hell?"
Uesugi Tetsu had never heard of any related Kami. The neighboring Buddhist tradition did have something called "Enma," but even the written characters were different, so they were definitely not the same thing.
Later, he might have to ask some antiques who had lived several dozen or even several hundred times longer than him.
As for "that book" mentioned below...
His instincts told Uesugi Tetsu that it was the "Black-Skinned Book" in his hands.
And ever since entering Asahikawa City, Uesugi Tetsu had indeed never taken out the Black Book even once, in case something unexpected happened.
But if he never took out the Black Book, wouldn't that, in a certain sense, match the words written on this paper?
It would amount to fulfilling "Dad's" wish.
"So, is this a prophecy or a warning?"
Uesugi Tetsu put down the paper in his hand and asked Dad expressionlessly, "What do you think?"
Those purple lips moved slightly, uttering a series of syllables.
"It all depends on how you view it."
Uesugi Tetsu naturally would not let himself be fooled by such a riddle,
