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

Chapter 130 Doubts
After defeating Queen Sigala, Baijie recovered the "Yanluo" monster. At the same time, everyone found a treasure of the local Ainu tribe in the canyon where the fog dissipated.

"found it."

Old man Matsudaira found a crystal clear gem deep in King Sigala's lair. It was the "Fire Orb" that emitted heat.

"It's said that this orb generates heat when it comes into contact with spiritual and demonic energy... For the Ainu people living in these barren lands, it must be a means of survival, right? I wonder why this monster took it away?"

"There must be some purpose, right?"

Baijie muttered to himself.

"I will interrogate the parasitic demon later. It should know something..."

They were trying to help an Ainu tribe find the lost Fire Orb.

This was an agreement with the Ainu tribe. After Baijie and others defeated King Sigala and took back the pearl, the Ainu people would lead them.

Baijie and others sent out Shikigami to investigate the old territory of the Yuejialuo clan and found that the area around the territory was occupied by a large number of half-human, half-owl monsters.

Strictly speaking, these monsters have set up a strict defense line and laid out a surveillance network centered on the ruins of their old territory, which they regard as their "nest."

"These are probably the followers of the fierce god Kotankoro Kamui. If we rush through, we'll be attacked by them."

The evil god's followers were heavily guarded, and although their numbers weren't particularly large, they would be very difficult to deal with. At this point, Renjo Senjuro pointed out something.

"Also, I strongly suspect that there might be a clone of Kotankoro Kamui hiding in the old territory. If a battle breaks out, the situation will be very disadvantageous to us."

The information and secrets he possessed were obviously more than those known by Bai Jie and the others.

"But... this isn't surprising. Lian Zhang's identity and position are special, and he can directly obtain more important secrets from the Yinglongmu Agency..."

Baijie knew this very well.

"Clone?"

Ye Ming was a little confused.

"You shouldn't be so cautious when dealing with a clone, right?"

"...That is the incarnation of the evil god, equivalent to a lesser god."

Hiiragi Hiruko slowly spoke, "Originally, it was a guardian deity like Mahoura, possessing both hunting and protective deities... However, its primary function was to preserve that concept. In other words, it was a deity similar to the gods of the land or the earth, closely tied to the 'territory' of the land. By residing in a specific area of ​​land, it gained immense power."

"So, if there's a clone of Kotankoro Kamui in the Old Territory, it would be very difficult to defeat it?"

Zhuo'an, one of the three Shell Snakes, asked, "Old man, I'd like to ask, compared to its original body, how strong is this clone?"

"It should have half the power of Kotankoro Kamui."

Hiiragi Hiruko sighed, "Furthermore, this clone should be able to use the power of the earth veins to strengthen itself and bless itself in this way."

"That would be troublesome."

Old man Matsudaira sighed.

"The Kotankoro and Kamui are both half-owlmen with the ability to fly. They can fly and have exceptional vision. Forcing your way in will only lead to them being surrounded... Not to mention, if there's a lesser god's clone, it would be even more difficult."

Everyone fell silent.

Bai Jie didn't say anything. He knew a lot of information about this plot, but some things were not suitable for him to say.

"Wait a minute... In other words," Ye Ming suddenly thought of something, and she muttered to herself as if lost in thought: "If the ground can't get through, then going underground shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Young Master, what do you mean by this?"

Old man Matsudaira frowned.

"I think we can walk there from the back mountain of the territory."

While trying to recall, Ye Ming said in a deep voice: "It is said that the back mountain of the territory is connected to a very deep cave, similar to the 'man cave' in Koga Saburo's legend, which is an underground cave leading to a very deep underground space.

The local Ainu people know the secrets of this cave and how to enter and find their way out of the maze-like underground caves."

"That is to say."

Baijie had been waiting for her to say this.

"Shall we go find the Ainu people and ask them about the cave?"

"Wait a moment?" Hiiragi Hiruko asked doubtfully. "The Tsugaru Peninsula is almost entirely ruled by the evil spirit and its followers. Where can we find an Ainu tribe nearby?"

"Don't worry."

Elder Matsudaira smiled and said, "It would be difficult for ordinary people to survive in such an environment, but the Ainu are not ordinary people. They lived here before the Tsukigahara people opened up the Tsugaru Peninsula. At that time, this place was full of all kinds of demons, ghosts, and monsters, but they always managed to survive peacefully..."

The Yuejialuo clan had a good relationship with the local Ainu tribe, and the two sides often interacted with each other.

“The key is to have a guide.”

Ye Ming explained: "That underground space is very huge, and it's as complicated as a maze. If you don't know the route, it's almost impossible to pass through this underground cave."

"I see."

Baijie nodded in false conviction.

In fact, Ye Ming would propose to find the Ainu people and ask them for help, which is also the plot in the original work.

However, the subsequent developments surprised him somewhat.

Ye Ming and others found the place where the Ainu people lived without much effort.

It was a small village hidden in an ancient valley deep in the mountains, surrounded by a forest. A wooden fence wrapped in creeping weeds surrounded the village. Totem stakes used to create barriers and pieces of cloth dangling from the ground could be seen everywhere.

The foundations of the buildings in the tribe were made of stone, but the main structure was made of wood, and the roofs, doors and windows were covered with animal skins and thatch.

"So, we need to send a guide to help you enter that crypt and take a detour to the Yuejia family's territory."

Ye Ming and his party sat down near the entrance of the wooden fence and lit a bonfire. They were surrounded by trees, and although the cold wind still seeped into the deep darkness between the trees and the air was bitingly cold, the cold was completely dispelled by the flames.

"Hoohoo."

The old woman dressed in ethnic clothes laughed. She had dark skin and slightly pointed ears. She was extremely thin and her face was covered with deep wrinkles.

The tribe's chief, the old woman, spoke to Ye Ming in a leisurely manner, as if chatting casually: "Master Ye Ming, speaking of which, your father, the former head of the clan, Master Jiujin, has always been very caring towards our tribe. Originally, it wouldn't be difficult to send someone familiar with the underground space to serve as your guide."

She paused and said in a deep voice, "But now, there are some troubles."

"trouble?"

Ye Ming's handsome brows frowned.

"The tribe is in crisis and cannot provide you with any assistance."

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"In a canyon in the north, a demon has awakened... Although the fierce god Kotankoro Kamui is also a dangerous existence, we Ainu people do not inhabit the spiritual veins, so it is unlikely that it will specifically target us. Besides, there is also the power left by previous generations of tribesmen here, which is enough for us to avoid the demon."

The Ainu people belong to different tribes. One group lives high in the mountains. In their early years, they forged iron tools and made a living with iron and fire;

The other branch hid deep in the forest. Unlike their counterparts in the mountains, this branch of the Ainu people seemed to have a natural ability to coexist with trees and forests. They hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and were protected by this power. Even monsters rarely harassed them.

"As long as we have the protection of our ancestors and the spirits of previous generations of clan leaders, we are not afraid of the monsters in the mountains. Moreover, as long as we are in the forest, we can always hide our tracks... However, recently, for unknown reasons, that monster attacked the village and stole the orb that is essential for wintering."

The old woman proposed a deal.

"If you can bring this orb back, we'll be happy to send a guide to help you... If not, the tribe won't be able to spare the precious manpower needed to survive the winter."

This is the condition she proposed, which is not in the original work.

However, Ye Ming still agreed to this condition and decided to attack King Sigala in the canyon.

Baijie recalled the entire incident and still had many doubts about the situation.

"This part doesn't have any of this in the original novel. The plot has clearly changed in some way. Is it the butterfly transformation...?"

He has always been worried about one thing, that is, excessive intervention in the plot will lead to major changes in the game's plot.

Baijie doesn't want this to happen, because it would cause his player advantage of "foresight" to disappear.

The appearance of King Sigala was not part of the plot he knew, and he was very suspicious that something had gone wrong.

"So, will this trip be as smooth as in the game?"
