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

Chapter 138 An unexpected enemy

Splitting into two teams seems like a very stupid move in any horror movie.

However, Baijie also has his own considerations. First, this is a process line that is consistent with the development of the original plot.

Tucker and Lilaila, father and daughter, were offering sacrifices to the snake demon Abe Mimaru. They had no intention of sending the snake demon to heaven, and they couldn't bring all these exorcists to the third floor.

If this is really done, it is hard to say whether it is to help the snake demon Abe Mimaru or simply to kill it.

Fortunately, Tucker and Lilaila, father and daughter, were not so cunning. They felt it was necessary to separate Baijie's group. Only in this way could they weaken the power of the exorcists.

Second, since he knew that as long as he stayed by Ye Ming's side, he would be the first to be brought to the third floor, then Bai Jie only needed to concentrate the most powerful fighting force around him, and this trip could be said to be foolproof.

In the dark passage, a few lights were lit. Led by the Ainu girl Lilaila, Baijie and his group were walking on a long spiral road.

Walking along this stone corridor, the surroundings hardly change, and one can even have the illusion of "going around in circles in the same place".

"Ms. Lilaila, is this path really feasible?"

Ye Ming asked doubtfully.

"I think there should be no problem. This road is not a dead end. Didn't we pass several forks before?"

Lilaila said with full energy: "No problem, this road will definitely be passable..."

"Pause."

Before she could finish her words, Baijie drew his ninja sword. At the same time, Ye Ming also noticed something and raised her sword to prepare for battle. She also picked up the lamp with her right hand.

"Be careful...something is approaching quickly."

I saw a group of green objects slowly walking towards me from the other side.

"What the hell...what are these things?"

This was the first time Ye Ming had seen such bizarre monsters. There were dozens of them in this corridor. They moved in unison, like an army, their four arthropod-like arms each holding a crude short sword or a spear with a stone blade tied to a piece of wood.

"…It's Ant-Man."

Baijie knew the origin of this monster.

"These aren't monsters native to the island nation. They're probably the same monsters as the evil lord, the Snake King, who came from Mahan, South Korea, and Luzon."

These monsters, like the evil master Xie Guiwanghui, are insect monsters. They are similar to human-shaped ants. They are covered with chitin armor all over their bodies and walk on two feet.

Their heads are those of ants, with the lower jaws divided into two halves constantly trembling, the antennae on the forehead constantly shaking, the compound eyes emitting green light, and they are holding weapons and approaching.

"How strange!"

Lila looked very surprised.

"Ant-men should be the monsters on the second level of the maze. Why are they here?"

"Let me use my arrows to deal with them, shall I?"

Hiiragi Hiruko raised the bow in her hand.

"No."

Baijie interrupted her.

"An attack that's too powerful would drag us in, and this is a narrow corridor. If it collapses, everyone will be buried alive."

"No, sorry."

Hiiragi Hiruko had little combat experience, her face flushed slightly, and she apologized in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"It's ok."

Bai Jie smiled and said, "In this situation, close combat is necessary."

"Just let me do it."

Ye Ming took the initiative to advance. She said nothing during the battle and quickly threw out the True World King in her left hand.

The short sword-like wakizashi pierced the ground beneath Ant-Man's feet. The young swordsman raised the precious sword in her right hand, and a flash of lightning shot out from the tip of the blade.

Ye Ming, wielding his precious sword, unleashed a bolt of lightning. Like a venomous snake, the purple lightning struck the ground-bound wakizashi "Masei Ou." Suddenly, a dazzling wave of lightning surged beneath the ants' feet, amplifying the force as they took their first steps. The humanoid ants at the head of the line convulsed as if electrocuted, collapsing to the ground in the next instant.

"come back!"

The purple electric current began to flow backwards, and the wakizashi inserted into the ground was also sucked in by the invisible magnetic force and returned to the girl's hand.

"Not all spell attacks are unusable."

Ye Ming strode forward and charged into the group of Ant-Man at the back who had not been electrocuted. She deliberately displayed her fighting stance and took a step forward.

The narrow space was not suitable for swinging a long sword, so she chose to stab, piercing the throat of an Ant-Man with one sword, and then kicked the enemy away with a flying kick.

call out!
Ant-Man began to fight back, the dagger and spear tips almost brushing against his skin.

At this moment, Ye Ming also chose to swing her left hand and blow up an Ant-Man's head. At the same time, she bent down to dodge, and the sharp blade quickly passed over her head, cutting off several strands of hair.

Baijie in the back saw the right opportunity and shot out several arrows of light from his ninja sword, shattering the chitinous breastplate of the marching Ant-Man.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen companions were killed. If it were a human team, they might be shaken. Unfortunately, these ant-men are cold-blooded monsters. Under the double attack of Ye Ming's double swords and the bombardment of Qi Luo's arrows, even though they suffered heavy casualties, they remained unshaken and used their segmented legs to step over the corpses of their companions to move forward.

"Stay out of the way."

Ye Ming moved through Ant-Man's array of swords, spears, and guns, running as fast as the wind. The blade of the wakizashi "Masanobu" that he grasped again in his left hand suddenly drew a silver light and ran away at a rapid speed.

With just one strike, the tall ant soldier who served as the commander of the Ant-Man team was cut in half.

With a hissing sound, the blow was cut from the right shoulder to the right side of the abdomen. With a splashing sound, blood and internal organs spilled on the ground.

After killing the insect leader, the girl did not stop and continued to ravage the torn array.

"Attention, there's a second wave of Ant-Men coming from behind."

Hiiragi Hiruko did not participate in the battle, but with her keen senses and hearing, she heard footsteps coming from behind.

The second wave of ant-men arrived, raising their spears and daggers and stabbing at the girl who was the vanguard.

The two sides entered a chaotic battle mode, Ye Ming acted as the forward in the front, and Bai Jie served as the defender.

The two of them cooperated very well. It should be said that through the experience of many battles during this period, both of them were familiar with each other's abilities, and there was no flaw in their cooperation.

"As for his ability to fight alone, he's not very strong... However, Ant-Man's teamwork ability is not weak. Moreover, in a narrow passage like this, without being able to use powerful spells, Ant-Man has a huge advantage."

Baijie thought to himself.

Unfortunately, this kind of fighting method is totally insufficient for me and Ye Ming now.

The battle ended quickly, leaving only the bodies of the Ants on the ground behind the fork in the corridor they had passed. "Ants usually stay on the second level of the maze. One of their responsibilities is to protect the Ant Queen. Normally, they wouldn't come to the first level."

Lilaila is not an exorcist.

The hunter girl took a back seat during the battle.

As she led the way, she also showed a troubled expression at this time.

"I left marks for my father along the way, and I don't know when they will catch up..."

The acting is pretty good.

Baijie had to admit that Lilaila showed almost no flaws.

Just then, the group discovered that the road ahead was blocked by something like vines. No, it was not vines, but a lot of debris and gravel that blocked the passage.

"W-what's going on?"

"...It seems to be blocked."

Lilaila also looked confused.

"So, this road is completely blocked?"

Ayaka asked again.

"Do not."

Lilaila rubbed her chin.

"I seem to have some impression of this passage... I seem to have gotten lost near it before, but I managed to find my way out."

She pointed upward.

"Everyone, look up there... that should be a ventilation hole. Maybe we can get through that entrance."

Having said this, Lilaila began to climb up the wall.

"Miss Lilaila, what are you doing?"

Ye Ming asked doubtfully.

"I plan to go up and explore. Some of these vents in the maze can also serve as temporary entrances."

As Lila climbed up, she explained, "If there's no problem, I'll explore the other side. Maybe we can get through here too."

"No need to go through so much trouble. We can just send a Shikigami to investigate."

Ye Ming suggested.

"better not."

Lilaila shook her head.

"The ant-men's activities are strange. They seem to have made it to the first floor. The situation is unclear right now. It's best not to use spiritual power recklessly to avoid unnecessary conflict... These insect monsters are very sensitive to spiritual power. I don't have spiritual power, so I'm actually less noticeable in this environment."

After saying that, she nimbly slipped into the small entrance that looked like a ventilation duct.

Everyone thought that Lila would return soon, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of her.

"Could something have happened? Should I send a shikigami to investigate?"

Ye Ming took out the paper shikigami.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"What's going on... Didn't you guys get through here either?"

When everyone turned around, they saw two figures, Renjo Senjuro and old man Matsudaira, walking out of the darkness.

"Eh... is that you guys?"

Ye Ming was surprised.

"The road at the other fork is very long, but it's still impassable in the end."

Renjo Senjuro sighed.

"We followed the trail and encountered Ant-Man along the way."

He looked tired and his complexion was not good.

Old man Matsudaira just kept smiling and said nothing.

Suddenly, Hiiragi Hiruko grabbed Hyakusuke's sleeve, her emotionless eyes staring at Renjo Senjuro and Matsudaira.

"——Who are you guys?"

"Eh? What's wrong, Miss Hiruko?"

Before Ye Ming could figure out the reason, Bai Jie had already drawn his ninja sword to warn him.

"What's going on here... doesn't seem to be in the original game? Also, these two... give me the feeling—"

"...These two people are not themselves at all."

Believing in the slight discomfort she felt, Hiiragi Hiruko pointed at the other party. At the same time, Hyakusuke had already used his ninja sword to release several arrows of light.

Under the direct attack of Qi Luo's arrow, Ren Zhang and Matsudaira were knocked away.

They looked like burst balloons.

After it exploded, it turned into two torn paper figures.

Ye Ming took a deep breath.

"Paper Doll Substitution Technique? Is this... a disguise?"

After the two figures disappeared, a very fat old man appeared from the darkness behind.

“Hahahahahaha… I’m surprised that my disguise was discovered.”

Behind him, there was a woman with fox ears, who looked almost exactly like Zi Yuexun, but was a little older.

"Old man, your magic is the most useless~~"

The fox girl sneered and said, "Instead of wasting time, it would be better for me to do it myself, so as to save so much time."
