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

Chapter 34 Showdown with Her
At the critical moment, some kind of light emanated from under Baijie's feet. It was a glowing circle drawn by pure salt under his feet.

When the vengeful spirits crashed into the aperture, they encountered an invisible barrier and could not hurt him at all.

However, Baijie, who is in this salt circle, also feels uneasy.

The surrounding air currents stirred up the wind. These enraged spirits moved through the void, turbulently stirring the air and stirring up a fierce wind through the cemetery. The salt circle beneath their feet was partially blown away.

"There's no such thing in the game..."

Baijie's face also turned ugly.

"No... No, if this continues, the salt circle that seals the three female ghosts will be—"

He turned his head to look and saw three female ghosts squeezing out from a gap in the salt circle that was blown open.

Their dead eyes stared at Bai Jie, with ecstatic expressions on their faces.

Three female shadowy figures floated in the air and pounced towards him.

Baijie clenched the gun in his hand and his face turned ashen.

"Are you going to use my trump card?"

Just at the moment when the situation was extremely critical, a clear flute sound floated gracefully from the void. The flute sound was indescribably refreshing, and the moment it sounded, it completely dispelled the sound of the pipa.

Dongying, whose hugong string was broken, looked up at the air in surprise. In the air just outside the fog, a shikigami was floating.

That Shikigami should have its own communication function, and the flute sound played from it blended into the night sky.

At this moment, the wonderful sound of the flute seems to make the soul and body clear and almost transparent.

"Who is helping us?"

Dongying looked up at the Shikigami, a look of confusion on her face.

"saved."

On the other hand, Bai Jie did not expect the situation to take a sudden turn for the worse——

The forms of all the vengeful spirits in the cemetery seemed unstable and distorted, like a TV image with a bad signal.

The three female ghost concubines who were about to pounce seemed to have encountered a bug, and their movements were frozen in mid-air.

"The sound of the flute interrupted the pipa's melody! The vengeful noble's control was broken... No, this is a victory!!"

Baijie took this opportunity to take off the flash grenade from his belt and threw it into the air.

boom! !

The flash bomb exploded instantly, and the night cemetery seemed to be bleached white in that instant.

This is a flash bomb generated by a spell. The strong light is similar to the sun's rays and contains absolute yang energy.

The excessively concentrated yang energy had a huge killing power on spirits like vengeful spirits. All the vengeful spirits present screamed and smoke came out of their bodies.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Baijie no longer wasted time. He leaped towards a tombstone with force, his movements agile and swift.

Bang!
He stepped on the tombstone, tiptoed, jumped up, and ran towards the edge of the cemetery.

"Although it's unclear where the flute sound came from, it certainly overwhelmed the vengeful noble. The complete cessation of the pipa sound also proves that the other party has lost the desire to compete!"

Baijie planned to escape.

In the game's "Never-Born Cemetery" battle, there are three victory conditions. One is to replenish your health and hold on until the end of the battle time. This side quest has a time limit, and you can win if you persist in achieving it.

The second is to completely defeat the Skeleton Warrior, the Wild Skeleton, and the three Wrathful Concubines, and force the Wrathful Lords to surrender... However, to achieve this, you must reach at least LV20.

Finally, the third one is to buy an extremely expensive high-end hugong in the shop, so that the wandering witch Dongying can improve her skills to the extreme and be able to defeat the vengeful nobles with dignity.

No matter which of these three is chosen, as long as the conditions are met, success will be achieved.

"However, even if I win now, I must escape first."

He began to run at full speed, jumping and dashing over the tombstones.

However, the vengeful spirits that recovered from the flash bombs were not going to let him go.

"kill him."

The three concubines of the vengeful spirit caught up like a gust of wind. With a body strengthened by spiritual power, Bai Jie's running speed was faster than that of an Olympic champion, but it was still too slow for the vengeful spirit.

The next moment, the female ghosts turned into three gusts of wind and pounced over.

Baijie had to jump in the air, then roll, stand up, and stab out the spear in his hand.

"Hehe... people."

A female ghost that flew over was not shot. She twisted her body and dodged the gun tip like dispersing mist.

"You're going to die."

The mist-like vengeful ghost retreated backwards and condensed into a solid entity again.

Baijie also clicked his tongue and was about to step back when a transparent hand suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed his ankle.

The next moment, his body froze and a chill ran down his back, as if he was pricked by thousands of tiny needles.

Resentful ghosts and evil spirits are demons that can take away people's vitality and yang energy, absorb physical energy, and make people weak.

Baijie could feel his strength being drained away. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the transparent hand with his left hand wearing the "Demon-Breaking Cage Hand".

He activated the "Curse Return Barrier".

The spirit's right hand was like foam, shattering at the slightest touch.

The female ghost's palm was blown apart by the barrier.

The spirit body shattered, causing the female ghost hiding underground to scream.

Baijie took a deep breath, used the remaining strength, stabbed the ground with his spear, used the elasticity of the spear to kick the ground away, and bounced onto the tombstone behind him.

Another screaming female ghost approached, but was repelled by the barrier opened in his left hand.

"However, casting this curse-returning barrier is very consuming for me."

Bai Jie stopped and noticed that the fog in the cemetery was gathering in the same direction. The surrounding vengeful spirits also stopped moving, and even the three female vengeful spirits who were about to attack again slowly floated backwards.

"Did you make it?"

He looked up and the sound of the flute continued to echo in the night sky.

The air around them whirred, as if a gravity field had appeared at the center of the cemetery, sucking the white mist into a vortex. Finally, a figure emerged from the depths of the vortex. "...Yesterday the flowers were still few in bloom, tomorrow the flowers will fall even fewer. May I die tonight, with the flowers and moon in full radiance."

This pale middle-aged man, wearing a black hat and a simple hunting robe, had a somewhat transparent figure.

——The vengeful nobleman Yishu.

His face was pale, and his hunting robes were also pale. The moonlight shining down from above made the figure of the vengeful nobleman seem drenched, and his entire body glowed with a faint green light.

"This flute sounds so beautiful..."

He made a sound of admiration.

"I really want that person to listen to it in person."

After he finished speaking, the man's facial features began to slowly change shape.

"Everyone, that's enough...it's all over."

The vengeful noble's complexion changed, slowly dissolving. His face was relieved, and his entire body seemed to melt into the abyss and disappear.

As the night wind blew by, not even a trace remained. Like a spring dream, without a trace.

The three vengeful ghost concubines also covered their faces and cried, their cries more like mourning. Their figures gradually faded, dispersing like thin shadows.

The vengeful spirits around also dispersed, and the ghost fires floating in the air also went out.

However, at the place where the vengeful noble disappeared after "becoming a Buddha", an ancient comb was left behind.

A hand reached out and picked up the comb.

"Finally... I finally got the 'Snow Yasha's Comb', this keepsake."

Baijie's face also showed excitement.

……

After obtaining the token "Snow Yaksha's Comb", the side quest "Secret Oath of Fairy Lake" can basically be said to be completed.

Next, just go to Snow Yasha Lake and return the comb to the lake owner Snow Yasha, and the mission will be completed.

"I'm so sorry."

Dong Ying knelt on the ground, propping herself up with three fingers on each hand, and apologized to him: "It's all because of me that Mr. Bai Jie was almost in danger..."

"No, the strings of the hugong are too old. Neither of us expected it to break accidentally. Miss Dongying, there's no need to be so polite."

Bai Jie smiled and said, "Besides, the matter has been resolved satisfactorily, so you don't have to mind it so much."

However, the string breaking did not happen in the original game, and it almost happened an accident.

"Unlike the original game's plot, it seems that various small accidents will also occur during the side quests?"

Baijie comforted Dongying while thinking.

"I'm not that worried. In the worst-case scenario, I believe Miss Dongying will be able to rescue me."

Dong Ying nodded firmly when she heard this.

Her abilities are not very useful against monsters and evil spirits, but they are not a problem in saving people.

Baijie knew that in the game, even if this mission failed, there would be no punishment and no one would die.

If the male protagonist fails, Dongying will rush in to save the situation and take the person out safely.

As mentioned before, the vengeful nobles were harmless. Bai Jie estimated that the worst-case scenario would be that he would be injured by the desolate skeleton (of course, he would not allow it to appear), or that the three female vengeful spirits would absorb some of their vitality, which would not be fatal.

"This matter has been successfully resolved. Miss Dongying doesn't need to feel bad."

Baijie continued, "You're not looking for Awu, why don't you go to Hoki Province to investigate earlier? Oh, and if you have any questions in the future, you can come to Kurohime Mountain to find me. We can exchange information about the Eight Blessings Society."

After all, she is a key figure in the subsequent plot, so Baijie still plans to have a good relationship with her.

The two chatted for a while and finally parted ways in the cemetery.

……

"What on earth was that flute just now?"

On the way back, Baijie was thinking silently.

Well, he could roughly guess who the other person was.

In the game "Miracle of the Moon", there is indeed someone who has such superb flute playing skills, and that is the protagonist Yue Jialuo Yeming.

"She must be the one who helped, right?"

Baijie muttered to himself.

...I have to admit that this time it was all thanks to her.

"It seems that it is necessary to have a frank talk with Yue Jialuo Yeming..."

Baijie finally made up his mind.

It was already so difficult for him to complete just one side quest. If he wanted to deal with future "crises", he would still need the power of Yue Jialuo Yeming.

“Even though she becomes a woman, her power as the protagonist still exists.”

It won't be long before the first chapter of the game's main storyline, "The Great Purification Festival of Tensakura Mahouka," will begin. Mutsu's neighboring country, Dewa Province, will collapse, and the Yellow Springs Oni will be born and spread to the surrounding areas... If this series of tragic events is not stopped, then Tsukigara Yamei's power is indispensable.

“…I have no choice but to confront her.”

As Baijie was thinking about this, he raised his head and noticed a figure in front of him.

She was a girl wearing a crimson kimono, with translucent white skin and long black hair tied behind her back.

He also noticed that she was holding a bamboo flute in her right hand.

"It's you... Miss Ming?"

Baijie's voice was low.

"No, I should call you Lord Ye Ming."

He went straight to the point and wanted to confront the girl head-on.
