Tamamo Mae placed the mirror in his hand between the two of them.

"You might see some weird stuff later."

"But please don't be afraid."

"I promise you that as long as I am still here, Mr. Abe, you will never be harmed."

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"I understand."

"Xiaoyu, I believe you."

Tamamo Mae's fair cheeks were a little shy and red.

This kind of trust from the Great Onmyoji really made her feel happy.

"That--"

"I'm going to start now."

As Tamamo Mae said such words, the mirror lying between the two began to flash.

Immediately afterwards, light blue light surrounded the room little by little.

The Great Onmyoji feels like he has fallen into some place between reality and fantasy.

But because of Tamamo Mae's promise, Ian didn't have any worries about it.

The whistling wind sounded in the Great Onmyoji's ears - it was a sign that the departed soul was gradually coming to life.

When everything calms down, Yuan Manzhong will reappear.

[The voice stops. 】

[You thought you could see Yuan Manzhong’s figure. 】

[At the same time, because of Minamoto Yorimitsu's status as husband, you know that he will definitely tell everything. 】

[But the figure you saw in the end was another person. 】

[To be precise, it should be just a vague appearance. 】

very familiar.

But very strange.

I must have seen him before, but not too many times.

even--

Most likely only seen once.

Ian looked at the unrecognizable figure in front of him, and this was the only feeling in his mind.

But he knew that this was the only way he could save Minamoto Noraimitsu.

Even if you are not familiar with it——

Then you have to ask clearly.

"Are you Yuan Manchu?"

Ian asked as he looked at the figure in front of him.

But the other party's answer once again exceeded the Onmyoji's expectations.

"Oh--"

"You mean Manzhong."

"Sorry, I'm not him,"

"But I gave him two good knives."

"..."

[You know those two good knives are "Sukiri" and "Kneemaru". 】

[It’s not like you haven’t heard Yuan Manzhong talk about their origins. 】

[That was something given to him by a great Onmyoji who also had the surname "Abe". 】

[You realize that the blurry figure in front of you is another "Abe". 】

"Are you..."

Before Ian could finish speaking, the other party had already spoken first.

"Well, you're right."

"I have the same surname as you, and I am also an Onmyoji. As for my name - it's Qingming."

"Abe Seimei?" Ian subconsciously followed his words.

"Hahaha, it's so comfortable. It's really a pleasant thing to be able to hear your descendants shout your name."

"Descendants?"

Ian sensed something was wrong.

And this bad news soon turned into reality.

Abe Seimei nodded, and then said:

"Yes, Abe Seimei V Abe Taisaki."

"You are my descendant made from the Holy Grail."

"what?"

[You heard something you didn't expect at all. 】

[You can’t believe this. 】

[But all this seems to be within Abe Seimei’s expectation. 】

"Don't deny it yet."

Abe Seimei looked at Ian in front of him.

"If I am not mistaken--"

"A month ago, you took care of Ashiya Michitoshi, right?"

"How did you know?"

Ian felt a little incredible - after all, he didn't think that Abe Seimei in front of him had witnessed everything.

"Oh... don't worry, I'm not spying on you."

Abe Seimei's tone became much gentler.

"You should still remember the rumors about 'Abe' when you came to Heian-kyo, right?"

"Ah."

Ian has not forgotten the day he came to Kyoto with Minamoto Yorimitsu.

That was the moment he discovered that the rumors were incompatible with him.

"Well... that's when Ashiya Michitoshi got to know 'you'."

"If you calculate it now, he will die at about this time."

"Tai Qin, you really have that kind of strength."

"Wait a moment!"

Ian reached out and stopped Abe Seimei.

"Don't talk to yourself!"

"Why do you know what Ashiya Michimitsu is doing? Isn't this already enough to know the future?!"

"Well, theoretically it really shouldn't be possible."

Abe Seimei confirmed Ian's statement.

"so--"

"I paid the price to have it."

"My dear, you should know what that is."

[Abe Seimei’s words remind you. 】

[You think about the source of this ability. 】

[Because of the other party’s identity as an Onmyoji, you quickly understood. 】

[That is similar behavior to Reed Daoman - he practiced a forbidden technique in Onmyoji. 】

[It’s just that the former will pay the price of insanity. 】

【And the latter...】

[It is losing the body. 】

Onmyojitsu is all about absolute balance - once there is a vacancy somewhere, something will inevitably happen to fill the vacancy.

Only in this way can everything be ensured to be unified and run according to the original rhythm.

Abe Seimei's behavior is naturally no exception.

There is indeed a method in the banned Onmyoji that allows Onmyoji to know the future.

But as a trade-off, it makes the person who gains this ability no longer able to influence the future.

For example...losing your body.

but--

There is still room for maneuver.

For example, the moment you acquire this ability, you can arrange everything properly.

In this way, even if the body is destroyed, you can still make the future move in the direction you want.

And at some point in the future, everything will be reversed back to its original trajectory by other means.

This is how to deceive fate.

But is this kind of thing really something ordinary people can do?

Abe Seimei seemed to see through the doubts in Ian's heart, and he said directly:

"Of course I can't do this with my own abilities."

"But fortunately I met the Holy Grail - and then I summoned you."

"You are the one who changes everything with me, so I can safely give up my body."

The memory in Ian's head completely went back to that day.

"Your name is Yasuchika Abe."

"The person who changed Genji's destiny."

The person who said these words was none other than Abe Seimei in front of me.

"Why are you doing this?" Ian asked in confusion.

"I am also a human being." Abe Seimei's answer sounded, "I have things that I value."

"You want to protect Manzhong's daughter."

"but me--"

"To protect my friend Manzhong and his family."

Abe Seimei’s words are easy to understand.

He deceived fate and saved Minamoto Manchu and the Minamoto clan;

What Ian needs to do is to deceive everything back on track and save Minamoto Noraimitsu.
