🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

—Alright... or rather, not alright. We're running out of time. Although, in your case, I can confidently say that the curse hasn't affected you. —Memorizing the faces of the unfortunate from the photographs, the scholar puts his notebook back in his breast pocket. —I last saw him leaving the university.

—Linshi, since we've decided to build our cooperation on mutual trust, let me be direct. If we truly want to "deal" with this threat, any extra help will be welcome. Your initial assessments would be useful if we were assembling a team against a criminal syndicate or something similar, but here we're dealing more with a natural disaster than with human nature. People who come here need to know what dangers they face, that mass hallucinations of the same black knight are impossible. The final decision on how to proceed should be left to them, but we have no moral right to hide the truth from future victims, nor to deny any help or information. In this situation, personal qualities and character take a backseat. Do you agree?
