Please charm this NPC

Chatting with KP without any connection, the last day was spent like this.In the evening, Ran Wenyu and Liang Yu had a sumptuous meal before being escorted out of the dungeon.

I don't know what method Offili used. This time they were still escorted by Gao Ruihua and Ma Qiang pretending to be believers. Obviously, although they both made "mistakes", after the "personal punishment" by the priest, They still won the honor of escorting sacrifices.

Gao Ruihua is in charge of Ran Wenyu.Ran Wenyu raised his head and looked at Gao Ruihua's eyes hidden under the hood of his cloak, showing some doubts.Gao Ruihua nodded slightly, indicating that he had made arrangements.

In order to set the church on fire during the sacrifice, Gao Ruihua and Ma Qiang made a secret fixed-point ignition mechanism under the cover of Ofili.Ophelia has participated in several sacrificial offerings, and he can predict the start time of the sacrificial ceremony relatively accurately. The fuse flame of the ignition mechanism will burn to the place where the gasoline was splashed during that period of time, and then it will be further burned under the action of gasoline and combustibles. Increase the intensity of the fire until the entire church is engulfed in flames.

Seeing Gao Ruihua nod his head, Ran Wenyu was also relieved, and with a look of despair on his face, he pressed his arm and joined the Hawell sect believers who had already lined up neatly and were ready to go.

At this time, the sky had already dimmed, and the believers were all wearing a black cloak, almost completely submerged in the darkness.The whole team was silent, except for the rustling of footsteps when walking, no one talked, like moving shadows, or black ghosts.

Ran Wenyu feels that he is quite bold, and he often likes to watch horror movies alone at night with the lights turned off, but in the dark forest, surrounded by black silent shadows, he still feels a little creepy, and becomes cowardly Goosebumps all over.

The further you go into the forest, the dimmer the surrounding light becomes.This night was originally a new moon, and the moonlight was faint, and it was blocked by the dense branches and leaves, so I couldn't see my fingers.The only few lights are probably the torches held by the believers. The flickering flames reflect the forest and the shadows more and more terrifyingly.

Obviously, it is very advanced now, and it is completely possible to use safer and more durable flashlights for lighting, but this group of cultists still choose the ancient torches, and I don’t know what’s wrong—maybe they think this is more ceremonial?In order to avoid falling into fear, Ran Wenyu thought wildly.

Ran Wenyu and Liang Yu were escorted to the front of the line, followed closely by Ofili and another priest.According to Ofeli, he presided over the sacrificial ceremony this time, but in order to avoid accidents, another priest followed to ensure that the sacrificial ceremony can be carried out smoothly under any circumstances.

The priests chosen by the Hawell sect must not only be absolutely loyal to the sect and abandon everything in the world, but must also possess powerful magic points to activate the magic that summons the gods.It can be said that there are very few people with strong mana, and Ophelia happens to be the one "chosen by fate".Therefore, when he came into contact with the Highwell Sect on the grounds of experiencing post-war trauma and seeking spiritual comfort, he was quickly valued, absorbed, and brainwashed by the sect, and then became the core priest of the sect.

Ophelia's magic value is very high, and another person who is also a priest with him is naturally no exception.Except for the black goat cub, he is the most difficult character in this battle, and compared to monsters with rough skin and thick flesh, the priest is a pure human being with thin skin and thin blood, so according to their private discussion in the contact group, In the first round of attack, focus on the priest together, trying to kill him in one round before he reacts, and don't give the other party any chance to chant the spell.

Secretly simulating the next battle scene in his mind, Ran Wenyu's heart was still calm.After walking for an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a female voice emerged from the quiet line, low and melodious, but with a strange tone.

It seemed to be some kind of incantation, Ran Wenyu couldn't understand it, but the rest of the believers followed immediately, and chanted the strange prayer in harmony with the female voice.The weird tone is not loud, but it makes people feel flustered involuntarily, and the surrounding silent forest seems to be "lived" in the prayer at this time, shaking the branches and making rustling sounds, perfectly matching the prayer The text is fused together, as if it is some kind of resonance.

Ran Wenyu tried his best to ignore these sounds, but these annoying tones penetrated hard into his brain, ears, and even his heart, causing him to be emotionally boiled and anxious——Ran Wenyu didn't know how to describe this feeling, it seemed to be With a hundred claws scratching his heart, it seemed that he was immersed in the biting cold water. In short, he felt uncomfortable anywhere.

With a "thud" in his heart, Ran Wenyu secretly thought that he was about to suffer, and as expected, he soon heard KP's joyful voice: [Influenced by the prayers of the Highwell Sect, you feel very uncomfortable.All members are asked to make a sanity check with a penalty of 1 for success and 1D6 for failure. 】

All staff: "……………………"

——KP is simply trying to drive us crazy before the final battle? !

Probably because the determination to stay rational was too great. This time, the four of them escaped the fate of going crazy again. Ran Wenyu silently calculated his remaining sanity value, and couldn't help shivering in his arms.Because of the study of sending the gods, 12 points of sanity were deducted all of a sudden.His SAN value is running out, and he can't stand KP's repeated toss.

As if hearing Ran Wenyu's silent cry, KP smiled softly: [Don't worry, there will be a sanity check next. 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

After falling off the San, the group finally walked out of the dense jungle and came to an open area in the forest.The open ground is very flat, obviously it has been carefully repaired, there is nothing superfluous except for a stone altar.

The diameter of the altar is about ten meters, neither big nor small. As for the more detailed details, it is not clear under the dim moonlight.

The four of Ran Wenyu were brought up to the altar by Ofeli and stood in the center, while another priest stood on the edge of the altar, followed by two other believers in black cloaks.

The rest of the believers were not qualified to board the altar, and quietly lined up around the altar.When everyone stood still, the annoying prayers came to an abrupt end.

The surroundings returned to deathly silence, only the trees still swayed.Ran Wenyu stood on the altar, roughly estimated the number of people participating in the sacrifice, and found that there were about 30 people.

Obviously, the sacrificial ceremony is very important. In order to avoid crowds and accidents, all participants are carefully selected backbones. As for the rest of the ordinary believers, they are not eligible to participate. Sects that don't know what they believe in will perform human sacrifices, offering the scorching blood of innocent women to the gods.

After looking at the believers under the altar for a while, Ran Wenyu turned his gaze to the altar he was standing on.Standing in it, Ran Wenyu could see that his feet were not flat stone countertops, but carved with grooves one after another.These grooves are combined into a peculiar pattern, which seems to be some kind of formation, or some kind of prayer.The grooves were dark, and there was a faint smell of blood. Obviously, the blood of the victims flowed in these grooves until all the blood was drained from their bodies.

Although he knew that this was just a "story" and a "module", Ran Wenyu still felt some kind of disdain and anger when he thought of that scene.He took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and stopped looking around.

While Ran Wenyu was secretly observing, there was no sound on and off the altar, and everyone stood quietly without any movement, as if they were waiting.

Ran Wenyu vaguely realized what they were waiting for, and his heart beat violently.After about a few minutes, the sound of the forest shaking became more and more intense, and a huge figure gradually appeared from the dense forest.

——It was a huge mass, with black whip-like tentacles growing on the mass, and huge hooves underneath, the entire outline was like some kind of terrifying tree, the shaking tentacles were the crown, and the hooves were the trunk , and as it approached, an indescribable smell permeated the air, as if it was the stench of corpses that had been buried for thousands of years after the tomb was dug.

Obviously, it was not the first time for the Haiwei believers to see this monster, but after a little commotion, they returned to silence. They moved their positions silently, making way for the monster to have a wide road leading to the altar.However, the monster didn't really climb onto the altar—of course, with its huge body, it probably couldn't move freely on the altar.

The monster moved its huge body slowly with its hoofs on its feet. For some reason, its steps seemed to reveal some kind of mysterious elegance.It stopped at a position three meters away from the altar, and then slowly squatted down. As it approached, Ran Wenyu could faintly see the smelly mucus and lumps attached to the stretched and sometimes curled tentacles The giant mouth that is constantly opening and closing, dripping a disgusting green liquid.

— This is the cub of the black goat.

Ran Wenyu "met" this kind of monster more than once in the Cthulhu running group, but no matter how many times he heard KP describe it, he couldn't match the shock of seeing it with his own eyes.

Even Ran Wenyu, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, was seized by the terrifying monster and was too frightened to move an inch, let alone the other three people who had little contact with it.

Ran Wenyu heard Gao Ruihua who was standing behind him let out a clear gasp, followed by the continuous knocking and trembling of the upper and lower jaws, which showed how frightened Gao Ruihua had become.

At the same time, KP's voice sounded softly: [Witnessing the mythical creature "Wuhei goat cub", please roll sanity rolls, success reduces 1D3, failure reduces 1D10. 】

Everyone who was awakened from fear by KP in an instant: "……………………"

At this critical moment, KP's voice seemed to have some kind of comforting magic power, which finally restored the ability of Ran Wenyu and others, who had been captured by the quagmire of fear, to act—although what the other party brought was not good news.

KP: [Sanity check: Gao Ruihua, 75/52, success, sanity reduction 1D3=2; Liang Yu, 50/61, failure, sanity reduction 1D10=4; Ma Qiang, 60/82, failure, sanity reduction 1D10=8; Ran Wenyu, 65/34, successful, sanity reduced by 1D3=1. 】

After a round of sanity checks, Ran Wenyu finally took a turn, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of happiness. Instead, he buzzed in his head and blurted out: "Damn it, right?! Brother Ma is our strongest combat power! Going crazy before fighting?! KP really wants to wipe us out?!"

Hearing his yell, the rest of the people who hadn't reacted immediately showed panic and were at a loss.

KP seemed a little dissatisfied: [Please don't blame me, the points are voted by you yourself, I will never have any secret operations, everything is a matter of your luck.In addition, seeing a mythical creature with one's own eyes requires a sanity check, which is an unchangeable rule. 】After a rebuttal, KP changed the subject, 【Reducing Sanity by more than 5 points at one time, Ma Qiang fell into a temporary state of madness, please roll 1D10 to determine the temporary madness symptoms. 】

Ma Qiang looked terrified. He took a deep breath, rubbed his hands together, as if praying, and then turned the turntable.

KP: [Temporary madness symptom 5, interpersonal dependence.Investigators mistake others for significant others, and work hard to maintain that relationship.Hmm... Let me see your character card. The important people are your parents and girlfriend. ] After pondering for a moment, KP decided to let the water go, [There are too many people present, I would like to show mercy, you are the closest to Gao Ruihua, Ran Wenyu and Liang Yu, then please vote 1D3 and decide the target of empathy. 】

Ma Qiang voted silently.

KP: [Target, 1D3=3, Liang Yu.You cast another 1D3 and decide to mistake her for your father, mother or girlfriend—although she is your girlfriend in the first place. 】

Ma Qiang continued to cast points.

KP: 【Important person, 1D3=2, mother.Please continue to cast 1D10 to decide the time of temporary madness. 】

Ma Qiang: “…………………………”

Liang Yu: “………………………”

KP: [Duration, 1D10=4.You will mistake Liang Yu for your mother within four hours. 】

As soon as KP finished speaking, Ma Qiang felt his mind go blank for a moment, and the next second, he looked at Liang Yu and yelled in admiration: "Mom!"

Liang Yu with a broken expression: "........."

Ran Wenyu and Gao Ruihua couldn't explain their words: "……………………"

——Well, at least, this crazy symptom doesn't seem to affect the next battle, probably.
