Please charm this NPC

Outside the car window is the gloomy sky, the gray clouds cover the sky and the sun, as if deliberately hiding some unknown secret; the barren wilderness is like a constant silhouette, only occasionally skipping a few plants with strange shapes Dry trees can barely make people feel the movement of the position.

In the constantly shaking carriage, the four people looked at each other in silence.They were locked in this carriage. The front and rear doors could not be opened no matter what means they used, and the windows were as strong as bulletproof glass, and they remained motionless even after being smashed countless times.

After a period of hysterical struggle, the four of them finally calmed down as if resigned to their fate, and sat face to face in their seats, trying to sort out the current situation.

After a while, an elite man with gold-rimmed glasses pursed his lips and spoke first: "Now, we can rule out that we are dreaming."

He looks very handsome, with a bookish air all over his body, but there is a red handprint on his right cheek, which is particularly conspicuous against his fair skin.

Sitting on the left and right sides of him are a man and a woman. The man on the left is tall and strong, and his bronzed skin is very powerful at first glance. He is rubbing his painful head and grinning. Looking at the arm that was twisted by himself, he tried his best to endure the fear.

The teenager sitting opposite the man with glasses is the only one who is not "injured". He has a pair of big cat pupils, a baby face, and slightly long black hair, which is playfully curly. He looks like a delicate and lovely doll, even It has a somewhat indisputable taste.

People with such looks, no matter where they go, they turn heads 100% and make people want to hold their faces and scream. It's a pity that due to the current weird situation, no one is in the mood to appreciate this beauty.

"So, now...what's the situation?" The girl tremblingly said, and she shrank into a ball.

"I don't know either. My last memory is that I was working overtime in the company. Because I was so tired, I lay down on my desk and took a short rest. I didn't expect to fall asleep. I don't know how long I slept. I felt that my body was shaking constantly. After waking up, I found myself in the carriage." The man with glasses said calmly and narrated smoothly, "What about you?"

"I just came back from playing basketball, took a shower and went to bed, and then... here I am, similar to you, and I was brought here while I was sleeping." The tall and strong man gritted his teeth.

"Me, me too..." The girl choked up, but still tried to speak clearly, "I was lying on the bed and scrolling through Moments, and when I got sleepy, I fell asleep..."

After the three of them finished speaking, they turned their gazes to the young man who had been silent all the time, and asked with dewy eyes.

Sensing their gaze, the young man raised his hand to rub his curly hair, finally moved his gaze away from the card in his hand, and said concisely: "Me too." Afterwards, he turned over the card in his hand and turned to the three of them. Showed it, "When you were trying to prove whether you were dreaming in the form of self-mutilation, I found this in my pocket. Look for a similar card on your body."

Hearing what the boy said, the three quickly started searching.Soon, the girl found the card from her bag, while the cards of the man with glasses and the tall and strong man were also placed in the pockets of his clothes.

"...So, what is this?" The man with glasses looked at his card with a puzzled expression, and the tall and strong man and the girl were equally confused.

The teenager took their cards in his hand, glanced at them, coughed lightly, and tapped the card with his slender fingers: "You guys... know what 'running group' is?"

Responding to him were three bewildered faces.

"Running group is a common name for TRPG (tabletop role-playing game). The game is usually composed of three to five people, one of whom acts as the host of the game, and the others act as players. According to the pre-set plot, Characters, develop the plot with the player's personal will and actions." The young Bai Nennen's face was serious, and after a brief description, he put the cards of the four people on the central table, "I think this card should be ours. Character cards, and we seem to be playing a real-life running game."

The boy said it simply, but the three people present were not stupid, and they quickly understood what he meant.

The man with glasses picked up his character card and pushed the frame: "The name on the character card is indeed my name, my name is Gao Ruihua, and my real occupation is a bank financial planner, but the card says that I am... a private detective?"

"I, my name is Liang Yu. I have just graduated and haven't looked for a job yet. The occupation on the card is... er, a third-year medical student," the girl—or should be called Liang Yu—said in a low voice.

"My character card is more in line with my identity, athlete." The tall and strong man seemed a little happy, "Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Ma Qiang!"

"As for me..." The boy puffed his cheeks very dissatisfied, and his crystal clear cat pupils slightly glanced aside, "My name is Ran Wenyu, and the occupation on the card...is a thief."

The other three people: "……………………"

"In short." With a light cough, Ran Wenyu took back his role card, "According to the role card, we each have our own strengths. If we cooperate well, we should be able to deal with almost any situation. Brother Gao is good at scouting and tracking. Brother Ma is good at fighting skills such as climbing, throwing, and fighting. Sister Liang Yu is a nanny who can heal the wounded. Then it's legal."

After summing up, Ran Wenyu pursed his lips and smiled, revealing two obvious dimples: "I am familiar with running groups. I have run some net groups and dough. According to my judgment from the character card, we are going to run now." The regiment should not be a combat module, but more inclined to explore and investigate, such as COC."

"...What is COC?" Gao Ruihua asked.

Ran Wenyu: "It's Cthulhu, investigating mysterious events and the like."

"Cthulhu! I know this!" Liang Yu suddenly raised his voice, and his already unattractive face became even worse. "It seems to be... the old ruler or something?"

"Yes." Ran Wenyu nodded, "The Cthulhu mythology system was created by the American novelist Lovecraft. Its characteristics are unknown, terrifying, and indescribable. Humans can't understand it at all, let alone contend with it. "Seeing the stiff expressions of the other three, he quickly changed the topic, "Of course, what we encountered was not necessarily a Cthulhu module, I just gave an example. What's more, even if you encounter such a module unfortunately, the story There are also very few real Cthulhu gods in the game, otherwise it will definitely be a dead end. Generally, players are faced with cultists who believe in such gods, mad scientists, or alien creatures dominated by them. "

"However, all your guesses are based on the fact that this is just an ordinary...running group." Gao Ruihua sighed, "But we can't be sure what the person or thing that brought us here is, and It's about seeing us lingering, struggling to survive, or trying to kill us in an interesting way in the first place."

Regarding Gao Ruihua's words, Ran Wenyu couldn't refute, and the carriage that had been a little heated just now because of the discovery of the character card suddenly fell into dead silence.

"...In short, no matter what, we have only one way to go now, and that is to calm down, treat it as a real-life running group, and try our best to advance the plot while saving our lives." After a long time, Ran Wenyu said slowly, "No matter what kind of module it is, in the end it will be HE with all the members alive. We can't give up too early."

"You're right." Gao Ruihua agreed softly, "We need to carefully use the identity and skills set for us by the character card to find out the final truth."

"No problem!" Seeing that Gao Ruihua and Ran Wenyu had discussed and reached a conclusion, Ma Qiang, who had never been a person of brain power, immediately accepted their decision, raised his arms and showed his hard muscles, and expressed his cooperation with self-knowledge, "My My brain is not very good, but I am very good at sports, I will try my best to protect you!"

But hearing what Ma Qiang said, Liang Yu immediately became anxious: "My setting is a medical student, but, but I don't know how to do medicine!"

"...It's okay, I don't know how to pick locks and my hands." Ran Wenyu comforted him earnestly, his curly hair curled up, "After all, I am a law-abiding citizen."

Everyone: "……………………"

——I always feel that this group is going to be tricked.

After the three of them finished their discussions, the dangling train finally stopped in front of the station.The four people looked out through the car window, and found that their destination, an ordinary-looking modern town, seemed to be in a foreign country.

"...get off the train." Taking a deep breath, Gao Ruihua stood up first and got off the train, while the other three followed behind him.

When the four of them all stepped onto the train platform, a low, soft, magnetic male voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

[This is Rodrini, a small town located in the southwest of the United States. You came here to find a lady who traveled to the United States but lost news here. 】

[This lady is Miss Liang Yu's mother, and she is a writer by profession.Although Rodrini looks like an extremely ordinary town, there are often some strange rumors and reports, which continue to attract many adventure enthusiasts at home and abroad. For example, many locals claim to have discovered UFOs , or witnessing magical creatures and so on.And Mrs. Liang came here to find inspiration for her new novel. 】

[When Ms. Liang Yu received the last call from her mother, she was staying in this small town, and told Ms. Liang Yu in a very pleasant tone that she had found very interesting news, which gave her plenty of creative inspiration.But for the next five days or so, Mrs. Liang never heard from Mrs. Liang again. Ms. Liang Yu was very worried, so she hired a private detective with a lot of money to help her, and accompanied by her boyfriend, she went to Rodrini to find out who she had lost contact with. mother. 】

Gao Ruihua pushed his glasses, thoughtful.Liang Yu and Ma Qiang looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched. They never expected that this weird plot would be accompanied by La Lang, and they became boyfriend and girlfriend without paying attention.

But Ran Wenyu, the only one who was not mentioned in the "Summary of the Previous Story", looked blank: "...What about me?"

The narrator's male voice paused: [You are the assistant of a private detective. 】

Everyone who didn't expect the narration to have a dialogue function:? ? ? ! ! !
