Help! I changed the gender of the male protagonist in the yandere game.

Chapter 14 The possibility of replacing the male protagonist

"Thank you so much."

Kozaburo, the village chief's loyal servant, cried bitterly. Although he was not young anymore, he insisted on following the ninjas all the way to the mountains, and personally took the little girl Ye Ya and held her in his arms.

"Miss, you're really going to scare me to death."

The old servant's tears wet his wrinkled face.

From the memories of Yeya in the game, we can see that Kozaburo was probably the two people closest to her at home. Besides this old servant, there was also her wet nurse who was willing to listen to her. Her grandfather was often busy with chores and rarely accompanied her.

"I'm sorry... Kozaburo."

The girl apologized honestly.

"It's all my fault that I made you worry."

Baijie noticed that the girl held in the loyal servant's arms was still biting her lips and staring at him intently.

"...She really has a grudge against me."

He sighed inwardly.

In fact, Baijie's behavior is very common in this era.

You have to know that all the exorcists of this era are of the "God Slayer" style.

"Monsters are dirty things, and dirty things must be disinfected," "eradicate them completely," "kill, kill, kill, kill," "I'm going to drive out all the monsters without leaving a single one behind"...

This is not a stereotype, because it is just the lines in the game. Even the idea of ​​killing monsters is common sense in the exorcist industry.

Even ordinary farmers would swing their hoes and beat the weak monsters to death if they encountered them. Most people's hatred for monsters was a bloody lesson learned after experiencing various tragedies. In this environment, it was the little girl Ye Ya who had a strange mind.

“No, honestly, it’s so strange it feels off-putting…”

Baijie had a vague feeling of strong disharmony in his heart.

He recalled the ending of the story of Inamori Village and had a bad guess in his mind.

"Combining the players' inferences, perhaps... there's something else behind this..."

Baijie felt that he was getting closer to the answer.

"No, no, no, I'm glad you're okay."

Kozaburo wiped his tears and bowed to Saizo.

"Saizo-sama, I really want to thank you very much, as well as the other ninjas."

"a piece of cake."

Cai Zang was directing his men to move the body of the mountain boy out of the cave and deal with the monster's body.

The corpses of monsters are mixed with demonic energy, which will attract monsters with a fetish for scavenging. They are also prone to mutation and become corpse monsters or corrupted heretics.

However, the flesh, bones, horns, feathers and scales of some monster corpses can be processed into weapons, elixirs or magical tools. Exorcists will skillfully remove the usable parts and the parts that can be exchanged for money.

The remaining parts were purified and then burned. The mountain boys in the cave were burned with a big fire, especially the mountain men who were burned to charcoal. They also had to undergo a simple purification ceremony and then all of them were burned.

After killing a monster, leaving the valuable corpse to the exorcist or genin to deal with is also the default behavior for the villagers. After all, the Kurohime family will not ask the villagers to pay a commission after hunting monsters.

"Everyone, Master Ji Ding has also prepared a simple banquet. Once the matter is settled, I hope everyone will join us."

Kozaburo also conveyed his intention to hold a banquet.

"Oh hehe... Lord Jidin is really too polite."

Cai Zang laughed a few times.

"No problem~~ We'll be there when we're done."

Kozaburo nodded respectfully and left with Ye Ya in his arms.

"You, why do you have to do this?"

Saizo turned around and stared at Baijie.

"Leave that ignorant brat to her grandfather. Baijie, why bother doing such unpleasant work?"

"No, I'm just doing my job."

Baijie's tone was very flat.

He couldn't say that he was interfering with the plot and trying to change the outcome of the Inamori Village incident.

"Well, you've always been like this anyway."

Cai Zang frowned, but he was not angry. What's more, out of friendship, he also had the obligation to take care of the other party.

"This awkward personality is still the same as it was back then... Never mind, I've been asked to take care of him anyway, so I can only help him clean up the mess as much as I can."

Suddenly, the Chunin seemed to have thought of something and asked him, "Baijie, when you searched the Yamado's 'warehouse', besides the corpses that were used as food, did you find any belongings of the deceased, such as stolen clothes, property, or luggage?"

"No."

Baijie shook his head.

"That's strange." Cai Zang touched his chin.

"I suspect these mountain boys may have been robbing peddlers and passersby nearby, killing them for food. Logically, there should be looted supplies in that warehouse."

He added, "Besides, there are quite a lot of mountain boys in the nest. Based on my experience, this nest is a large one, and there might be another mountain boy hiding there."

"..."

When Baijie heard this, his brows furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川" (Chuan) and he fell silent.

He thought of the bad ending of the Inamori Village side quest.

Many players have also researched the ending of this mission.

They made inferences about the tragic fate of the village chief Ji Ding's family.

Among them, there is a more popular or generally accepted statement.

Players believe that in the third ending, the mountain boys were able to pass through the barrier and enter the village to take revenge on Jiding's family because the little girl Ye Ya let the mountain boys into the village at night.

"After all, she's a little girl with a mental disorder. How can she believe there are good monsters in this world?"

"You will not live if you do your own evil."

"It's all my own fault..."

——However, this is just a speculation.

Other players believe that the Inamori clan was targeted by bandits simply because of their wealth, or that the murderers were villagers who were jealous of the clan.

They just killed people to vent their anger and then put the blame on monsters like Shantong.

Some experts in textual research believe that the second inference has some truth to it.

"In the history of the island nation, there were families that were said to possess 'Inugami', a spirit that resided in their bloodline."

A big shot once posted a message on the Internet to provide evidence.

"Of course, there are no monsters in reality. Inugami, but people in the old days would forcibly give others such names and labels out of jealousy, resentment, and dislike for them."

The family of Inugami was called "Yimono-jin" by the people in the history of the island country. The Yimono, including Inugami, Monkey God and Snake God, is a clan with special powers.

The method of making a dog god is quite simple. Bury a dog in the soil with only the head exposed, then put food in front of the dog. When the dog's hunger reaches the limit, chop off the dog's head with an axe.

The appetite and resentment of the dog before its death will condense. By placing the dog's head in a box for sacrifice, you can obtain the "Dog God".

It is said that one can use the "Inugami" to curse others and plunder their property at will.

Of course, whether or not this power really exists is not important; the key is what outsiders think.

For example, in a village community, a villager may make money outside and his family becomes well-off all of a sudden, which will make him stand out in the eyes of other villagers.

It is hard for everyone to believe that he became rich through hard work. Without knowing the truth or doing it deliberately, the jealous villagers would forcibly attribute the source of the family's wealth to the use of witchcraft or evil methods.

Therefore, such families are often disliked by the locals, become the target of public criticism, and are feared and hated by the entire village.

"No matter what the reason is, according to the original storyline, even if Ye Ya is saved, she will either run away from home again or the village chief's family will die tragically."

To be honest, Baijie has been in this world for too long and has become somewhat numb deep down in his heart. The corrupt court and government, the disgusting old system, and the bloodthirsty and brutal demons, in such a world... all kinds of tragedies happen every day.

It was also difficult for him to feel any sympathy or compassion for the plight of the village chief Ji Ding's family...

Furthermore, there are so many people in this world who are more miserable than Ji Ding, the village chief of Daoshou Village, and his granddaughter Ye Ya, that it is impossible to sympathize or pity them.

'It's just that this is an opportunity for me.'

Baijie thought, if I could reverse the fate of the village chief Ji Ding's family and completely resolve this incident without the protagonist's intervention, does this mean that I can change the course of the game?

"Ye Ming Yue, the male protagonist, originally used strategies to capture different female protagonists, indirectly influencing the transition of the main storyline. By achieving certain 'conditions', he could turn the situation around."

Finally, step by step, the boss behind the scenes was defeated and the world was saved from the crisis of destruction.

In the main storyline of this game, if Yue Jialuo Yeming dies in the early stage or fails in the attack, seven years later, the "Yellow Spring Vortex" that can destroy the island country will be born, and the world will be destroyed.

"Suppose, I can guide Haoyue Jialuo Yeming, or without the protagonist's intervention, achieve some conditions, bypass the crisis, change those tragedies, and thus prevent the destruction of the world."

In an instant, a glimmer of hope ignited in Baijie's heart.

"If I can replace the protagonist in certain situations, I can still resolve the incident."

He is very familiar with the original work and had this idea in the past.

From a certain perspective, it doesn't mean that the male protagonist must conquer all the female protagonists, but rather that he must indirectly intervene in the events through the female protagonists and change the direction of the future at key points.

That's right, no matter what, I can't just sit there and wait for death...

We can't just accept this ending and face the fate of world destruction just because the male protagonist becomes feminine, right?
"At least give it a try."

Baijie gripped the spear tightly in his hand.

He felt that he had to do this...

Even though this world is fucked up, he still wants to survive.
