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

Chapter 72: Plague
"I remember your name is Baijie?"

Jiujiutsu Ichiki turned his wrist and put the cursed sword back into the sheath.

"The ninjas of Kurohimeyama... I originally thought they were a mob, but now it seems I need to change my mind a bit."

He narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his lips.

"It seems that the treatment of the Kurohime Mountain Ninja Clan is not good... Boy, are you interested in joining the Night Walkers?"

Hey?
Why does everyone I meet lately want to poach me?

"This one……"

Baijie still hesitated.

"No, just kidding."

He actually knew how to joke.

Baijie's eyes widened, and Jiujiutsu Ichigui smiled slightly.

"Forget it... I want to ask, where are Ye Ming and Ayaka?"

"Lord Ye Ming and Miss Ayaka should still be at the bookstore," Bai Jie said quickly, "They should be safe there."

Ye Ming and her sister were still in charge of cleaning the rental bookstore. Considering that it was quite far away from this direction, they would not be affected by the commotion here.

"is it?"

Kujitsu Ichiki nodded.

"Leave the rest to me, and you should go back early..."

As he said this, he took off into the air, his sleeves and hem rustling in the wind, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared like a giant bird.

……

"There was only one deceased person, the prisoner on death row who was used for experiments."

Akamatsu Mitsuyu said with a look of dissatisfaction, "Although there are over twenty injured, three of them were injured by falls... That 'Devil's Blood' you brought is only so effective."

"Master Akamatsu, please don't say such things."

The female kunoichi gently crossed her arms and smiled, "I've explained this before. This is a replica of 'Devil's Blood' made from the remains of an ancient Devil. It doesn't possess the powerful infectious power of a real Devil."

"Then what's the use of this kind of thing?"

The family elder Akamatsu snorted coldly, "It's not even at the level of a great demon. It's just a demon with strange powers. Not to mention those high-level exorcists, even the masters of the samurai group would have a way to defeat it, right?"

"You can't say that."

The female ninja said seriously, "The most powerful thing about the blood of the filthy ghost is its infectiousness... If it is a real filthy ghost, it can transform living people into its own kind, forming a terrifyingly large army of the underworld.

This imitation of the blood of the filthy ghosts certainly can't achieve this effect, but it can still spread a kind of filthy plague. Currently, everyone in the city who has been injured by the filthy ghosts has been infected with the filthy plague and has been sent to the Curse-Suppressing Institute under the Shenying headquarters for treatment."

"I know this."

Akamatsu Mitsusuke asked back.

"But what does this have to do with what I'm going to do? Neither creating evil spirits nor creating a plague is my goal."

"No, quite the opposite."

The female kunoichi chuckled, "The chaos caused by the appearance of the filthy demon will increase the court's distrust of Kasumigao Castle and the Kamizakura main shackles. Kukutsu Ikki has now been summoned by Renjo Senjuro, so he must have become wary."

"Kyukujin... is he the guardian of Kyoto?"

"He will probably try to meet the city lord Sufang next. Lord Akamatsu, you must not let Jiujiutsu Ikki meet the city lord. It would be best if you control the city lord now."

"I can't kill that old man just yet."

"I didn't say to kill him. I just wanted to prevent the city lord from contacting outsiders for a while."

The female kunoichi smiled, a strange cunning glint in her eyes, and a blush appeared on her lips.

"Just follow my plan... The city lord's guards have long been infiltrated by our people. Besides, we still have the help of Jinye and Kuki, so this shouldn't be a difficult task, right?"

"This is your plan. This level of unrest won't cause the court to completely distrust the city lord Su Fang's family. Will you allow me to act as the city lord?"

"Therefore, the importance of this imitation of the blood of the filthy demon is highlighted."

The kunoichi put her index finger in front of her lips.

"We can put 'demon blood' into the well water in the city. It won't be long before the number of people infected increases."

"Wait a minute, if this plague becomes a severe infectious disease, then wouldn't it be possible?"

Akamatsu Mitsusuke was not worried about the untouchables in the castle town. What he was afraid of was that he would be infected by the plague. That would be a loss.

"Do not worry."

The female kunoichi chuckled, "The filthy plague is essentially a curse, equivalent to a poison. Once it's removed, it will be harmless to humans. I've already prepared a method to detoxify it."

"Even if we can eliminate the plague, if we do it too obviously, won't it arouse suspicion?"

"This is also easy to handle. All you need to do is find the woman named Kuzuka from the Kurohime family. She is proficient in pharmacology, poisons, and spells, and her own special abilities can also quickly prepare an antidote."

The kunoichi smiled and said, "This is also an opportunity for the Kurohimeyama clan to make the Hakodate Castle in Izukuu owe them a great favor. She won't let it go easily."

……

"The city lord refused your request for a meeting?"

Renjo Senjuro was greatly shocked.

"I'm weird too."

Jiujiutu Ichigui had a strange look on his face.

"Also... after testing by the Night Walkers, it was confirmed to be the corpse of an ungrateful ghost."

"Can you tell who the person being transformed was in his previous life?"

"It's probably technically difficult to do."

"What did the Shinzakura headquarters say? Didn't you ask the Grand Shaman?" "The Grand Shaman said they were going to the Curse-Suppressing Temple to treat those infected by the foul miasma... Her power can temporarily suppress those affected by the plague."

"That's it..."

Renjo Senjuro's already furrowed brows twisted even further. "I have a feeling that if things continue like this, the situation here will be increasingly beyond our control..."

……

Within a few days, after the appearance of the evil spirit, the number of people infected by the miasma increased sharply, and the curse-suppressing hospital specially opened by the Shenying headquarters was overcrowded.

"Ouch...it hurts so much..."

"I feel so hot..."

"Please... let me see the miko-sama. My child has also been infected with the 'uncle' and has a high fever."

The several wards vacated in the Curse-Suppressing Hospital are already full of people, and now many patients suffering from the "filthy plague" are lying on straw mats in the open space of the courtyard.

"What's going on...why did the filthy ghosts sealed in the ruins of the Foundation Kingdom appear and cause this 'filthy plague'?"

Hiiragi Hiruko's face looked quite grim.

The plague is not an ordinary disease or plague. Even pharmacists who are proficient in traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine are powerless to treat it; the healing spells developed by sorcerers are not effective against this plague.

Although a skilled practitioner should be able to suppress it slightly, it is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

In the past few days, the number of patients has increased, and the staff sent by the Shenying headquarters is stretched to the limit.

At present, the only person who can properly solve the illnesses of people infected by the "filthy epidemic" is Hiiragi Hiruko.

"Next, it might hurt a little."

She sighed and comforted the feverish and drowsy female patient.

"But... you'll be well again soon."

Hiiragi Hiruko held the woman's hand, opened his mouth, bit through her skin with his canine teeth, and sucked her blood.

For the devout people of Dewa Province who believe in the guardian god "Tenjin Sakura Mahouya", they all know that the spokesperson of God, the contemporary great shaman Hiiragi Hiruko, has the power to cure the sick and remove curses.

However, few people know that the source of this power is essentially a curse, the curse of "bloodsucking".

Tensakura Mahoura was cursed by a True Ancestor vampire before his death, and this power will be transferred to the shrine maiden who formed a contract with it.

The so-called shrine maiden, also known as the divine child, is a child of God who has the power to "descend gods".

All women who succeeded the position of Great Shaman in the past dynasties were affected by the blood-sucking curse and needed to drink blood regularly.

As the guardian god, Mahora possesses divinity and a pure aura like that of a god or Buddha. His priestesses also possess the power of "purification". The curse of the vampire does not have a serious impact on the priestesses, and they can even be completely suppressed by relying on the divine aura of Tenshin Sakura.

On the other hand, witches will also use this curse to help others cure illnesses or remove curses from others.

The same is true for Hiiragi Hiruko. As long as she absorbs the blood of these patients, she can draw out the "filthy plague" and then use her own purification power to eliminate the negative effects.

Tenshin Sakura was originally able to suppress the evil spirits in the nest of the foundation country, extracting their power to feed itself... In theory, Hiiragi Hiruko should also be able to do the same.

The premise is that there is a limit to all this.

In just a few days, she continued to absorb blood and the "evil plague", and unknowingly accumulated a huge burden.

Hiiragi Hiruko seemed unaware of this. Perhaps she was conscious, but she couldn't care less in order to save people.

Of course, the power of the evil plague could not affect the girl who was Mahora's agent, but a certain balance in her body was gradually broken.

"so bitter."

She continued to suck blood, and after saving several people in succession, she closed her eyes and let out a long breath.

Hiiragi Hiruko didn't know how long this kind of work would last. There was still a long line of patients outside - even if she closed her eyes, she could imagine this scene.

"The smell of blood is really unpleasant."

She didn't need to recall to feel the raw taste in her teeth and mouth. No matter where she went, she could smell the smell of blood mixed with rust and tide.

"...How long will this last?"

This is a question that no one knows.

"Great Imperial Witch, take a break."

A familiar voice rang out. She opened her eyes slightly, and a flash of blood-red flashed across her pupils.

"It's you... Qing Yin."

"You look tired."

The older miko asked worriedly, "If you're too tired, tell the team outside to stop."

"Now is not the time to say that."

Hiiragi Hiruko interrupted her.

"Have you counted? How many patients are there in the city who haven't been sent here yet..."

"It should take a while."

The older shrine maiden sighed in distress, "Lord Sufang seems unwell. I personally requested to see him, but he didn't even have the time to come see me. In this situation, our shrine is just holding on."

"The city lord will definitely not leave it alone. We just need to do our own thing."

She gave the order very decisively.

"Those who can accept it, please do your best to accept it. This is also the time for our company, which has always been respected by the public, to give back to everyone."

"understood."

The older miko nodded and stepped back.

After she left, Hiiragi Hiruko also looked exhausted. No one noticed that at this moment, the bright red in her eyes became more and more intense.
