Chapter 31: Side Quest: Fairy Lake Secret Oath

In the side quest "The Secret Oath of Fairy Lake", a more prominent character in its side story is the wandering witch named Dongying.

She is a full-time killer trained by the secret agency "Shadow Dragon Head" of the Korean Peninsula.

Just because of some accidents, she escaped from Yinglongmu and traveled around the sixty-six countries as a wandering shrine maiden to find her sister.

The shrine maiden Dongying is a very powerful killer, but she is not a great exorcist. Her spiritual power is not very strong, and she does not have any effective exorcism ability. She does not even possess the abilities of some serious folk shrine maidens and prayer masters.

Her ability has never been to deal with powerful monsters.

This woman was a "demon exorcist killer" carefully trained by the Yinglongmu Agency through human experiments and human transformation. She was specifically used to assassinate demon exorcists who posed a threat to the imperial court.

Dong Ying has undergone multiple physical transformations and has completely lost her sense of pain and the use of some of her organs. By shortening her lifespan, she has gained extraordinary physical abilities, which makes her very scary when combined with various unpredictable assassination methods.

She was trained to have an unconventional personality within the Yinglongmu Agency. If you have a grudge against her, she will kill without hesitation.

However, on the other hand, she is also a person who "repays favors".

"Are you Miss Dongying?"

Bai Jie didn't intend to waste time. He got straight to the point and said, "Actually, even if I don't help you, those little guys are no match for you...right?"

When he was halfway through his words, the wandering witch tensed up and a look of vigilance appeared on her face.

"Who...are you?"

"Please don't get me wrong."

Baijie quickly interrupted her doubts.

"No, I am a Chunin from Mount Kurohime. I definitely have no connection with the imperial court. Even if I had the chance, I couldn't infiltrate here... Miss Dongying, I have my own intentions in helping you. Can you give me a chance to explain it to me?"

He added.

"If you want to know some information about your sister, could you please come with me?"

These words moved the expressionless woman.

"Let's go there and talk."

Baijie pointed to a teahouse next to him.

……

Go out to the tea house.

It’s the love hotel of this era.

In other words, it is what the public in later generations understood as a "gun house" - a place where men and women who are having an affair stay. However, there are also some advantages here. In order to ensure privacy, the internal rooms will be thickened and reinforced.

Baijie was not afraid that the woman would not follow him.

He believed that as long as he threw out information about his sister, Dongying would not refuse to take the bait.

"First of all, your sister is definitely not dead."

Bai Jie said calmly: "Your running around all these years is not meaningless, she is still alive in this world."

"is it?"

Her lips trembled slightly.

My sister is not dead.

Dongying had no evidence in this regard. She just insisted on this point all along. However, even she had doubts about this insistence. If her sister really died in the fire, then everything she did would be meaningless.

"Thank you."

Dongying's voice became a little hoarse.

"But how can I confirm the authenticity of this information?"

"Then there's nothing we can do."

Bai Jie smiled bitterly, "Trust is a difficult thing. How can you gain someone's trust with just one sentence? But, Miss Dongying, don't you want to hear what I have to say about your sister's whereabouts before you decide whether it's true or not?"

"Please don't tell me."

She asked seriously.

"Your sister was abducted when the fire broke out that day."

Baijie said: "This was done by 'Nifuku' among the Eight Gods. As for the reason, Miss Dongying should have guessed part of it."

Dongying remained silent, her eyes lowered, as if she was lost in thought.

"The Order of the Eight Blessings... or 'Anti-Blessings', they were probably destroyed by the Twelve Guardians many years ago. Several of their leaders were killed, leaving only a few remnants. Moreover, they were in the capital, so they couldn't possibly..."

One of the most powerful chess pieces currently controlled by the imperial court is the "Twelve Guardians of the Saints", whose mission is to guard Kyoto and the royal family. All twelve warriors are powerful people with special abilities, including demon exorcists, demon swordsmen, onmyojis, boxers and other strong men.

Among this group of people are descendants of the Tsuchimikado clan, sword masters whose swords can cut through the clouds in the sky, and "ghost messengers" who can control hundreds of giant ghosts...

The one who currently commands the Twelve Saint Guardians is Xuanjie Mingtan, the head of the Onmyoji Bureau.

This man is considered a rare sorcerer and is also known as the "modern-day Yakuko".

On the other hand, the six of the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land also manage the intelligence organization "Kagerome".

"Nothing is impossible."

Bai Jie said in a deep voice, "People can lie... What if, I mean what if, the people who surrounded and suppressed the Eight Blessings Society back then lied and failed to wipe out the Eight Blessings Society, then what would happen?"

"However, several members of the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land were involved in this matter."

The former assassin frowned.

Baijie half-closed his eyes in frustration at this attitude. Dongying had received a brainwashing education in the past, so she didn't particularly doubt the court's stance.

"Also, why do you think the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land never lie?"

He just asked a question in return.

These words made the wandering witch's eyes widen.

"you……"

She paused mid-sentence.

"Who is he? If what you said is true, then why do you know this information?"

"Hmm~"

Baijie folded his hands over his chest and pretended to sigh.

"Well, Miss Fuyuhotaru must have heard of the name 'Tokoyami no Miko'. It's a group of Miko living in Izumizu Mountain."

"They are not shrine maidens who reside in the mortal world, but rather shrine maidens who serve at a shrine at the border between the living and the dead. All of them are gifted with the ability to hear the voices of the dead and predict disasters and destruction, and they have a powerful influence on national politics."

"The Onmyoji's higher-ups should be connected to Tokoyami's miko and be able to obtain some of their predictions. I've also obtained some intelligence through some means... I can't reveal more specific details—"

He made up a lie.

However, as a character in the game, this lie is basically impossible to see through.

"The information about the Tokiya shrine maidens is not accessible to ordinary people. However, Fuyuharu is an insider, and she even has some connections with those shrine maidens..."

Baijie began to observe her expression.

At this time, the wandering witch fell silent again, and she was obviously hesitant.

However, after thinking for a while, Dongying seemed to have made a decision.

"I believe you, Mr. Baijie."

"That's good."

Baijie also breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for your sister's current whereabouts...only the core members of the Eight Blessings Society know. My suggestion is that you go to Hoki Province and look for a place called Takionji Temple. Perhaps you can find some clues there."

He sighed and said, "I'm sorry for talking so big before. Actually, I don't know much about it."

"No, just knowing that Wu is still alive is very important to me."

Her tone was very firm.

"That's good……"

Baijie was in a good mood. As mentioned before, this woman's character is one of "repaying grievances and repaying favors."

She will remember very clearly the fact that she helped Dongying, and if she were to have a grudge against her, she would kill her without any hesitation.

In the side quest of the original work, if the male protagonist does not handle it properly, Dongying will kill the ronin when leaving the post town.

The ronin's accomplices will blame the protagonist for this, causing him to suffer a great loss in a subsequent incident.

This is also the feature of the game "Miracle of the Dark Moon". From time to time, there are mines buried in the plot, which will explode when you step on them.

"The information about Takionji Temple in Hoki Province is also true... Hehe, the original work was investigated by Fuyuharu herself. I'm just telling her the conclusion in advance. Besides, even if she goes there, she won't be able to find any related information."

It sounds like a wasted trip, however, at this stage, if Dongying cannot find her sister or find any clues about the "Nifu" branch of the Bafu Society, she will die.

Considering that Dongying can open up several side quests outside the main questline as long as she survives, and her NPC has a high favorability and can help with some things in the future, Baijie just hopes that she will not die too early.

Because this NPC will be useful to me in the future.

While he was thinking, Dongying, who was sitting in the zabuton opposite him, also made strange movements - she began to untie her belt and take off her pure white clothes that were not stained with ink.

Bai Jie was a little stunned and couldn't react for a moment, and Dong Ying took off another piece of clothing, revealing her inner shirt and bare shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, Dongying's long hair bun came loose.

"Wait...wait a minute, what are you doing?"

"You won't do it?"

The wandering shrine maiden's voice was very calm, without any shyness or shame.

"do what?"

Baijie opened his mouth as if he was frightened.

"I thought Mr. Baijie brought me here because he was planning to do something."

Dongying said it with confidence.

"I have no money, and I have nothing... Mr. Baijie has brought me such important information, but I have no means of reward. It seems that I can only repay him with my body."

She bowed her head.

"Because it's my first time, I don't quite understand how to serve a man, but I will still do my best..."

Before Baijie could say anything, a black shadow appeared behind him and twisted on the floor... At the same time, the invisibility amulet he kept close to his body also heated up slightly.

——Where did this stinky and dirty bitch come from? Kill her right now...

——It starts from the internal organs and then becomes a toy for insects to play with until they die.
