Something was watching him in the fog.
Red. Disheveled. With horns.
Ever since the Akagi Pavilion burned down that night, it has been following him.
Kokeke Sakaki was once a samurai from Akagi, but now he is just a fugitive. He was hunted by three forces, abandoned by an era, and targeted by a ghost that feeds on death.
That ghost is called "Big One".
It wanders between battlefields, sucking the life tide of thousands of dead. It is extremely powerful and can tear apart armor with its bare hands, and it likes to attack women. It was born out of troubled times, became strong out of fear, and was eventually regarded as the "Red-faced Prajna" by all forces, becoming a political tool, the protagonist of legends, and the embodiment of fear.
Ke Ke just wants to survive and find the answer - who burned Chicheng? Is the lord alive or dead? Should he repay the debt he owed?
Until he met the rain.
A walking witch with no last name can see ghosts and hear the whispers of the dead, but cannot see the danger behind her.
"It only looks at you," she said.
"You're not going to die," she said.
She gave him her dry food, staked her life on him, and finally used her own death to make him see one thing clearly -
Ghosts are not born because of him.
Ghosts are born because of this era.
As long as people continue to kill each other, as long as fear continues to spread, as long as life continues to disappear in pieces, the big one will never disappear.
To kill ghosts, you must first cut off all these.

Don't tell me, this thing is quite lyrical [laughs]
