Please charm this NPC
Chapter 198
To be honest, when Jerak first mentioned that the stained glass windows of the Sabos Island Temple were designed by Shirley, Ran Wenyu didn't take this information to heart, thinking it was just a small easter egg to prove Shirley's talent .But tonight, when Thomas mentioned this matter again, and showed an almost crazy pride together with the other four priests, Ran Wenyu immediately noticed this clue that he had ignored.
The same thing was mentioned twice, and one of them was said from Thomas, a key NPC. This should not be just an easter egg.
Of course, at the beginning, Ran Wenyu didn't know what this clue represented. He just tentatively sent a message and asked Anfeier a few questions about the stained glass windows, and Anfeier's answer made him quickly grasp it. out of focus.
——Ten years ago, this point in time was simply too important.
Just when the investigators were amazed, Ran Wenyu's cell phone started to vibrate continuously, and one photo after another was sent to his cell phone. Every photo opened was a stained glass window in the temple.
The person who sent him the photo was not Anfeier, but Martha.After sending all the stained-glass windows, Martha asked curiously: [My lord vice priest, my lord priest asked me to send these photos to you, why? 】
While saving the original photo, Ran Wenyu replied: [I am not investigating the theft of the Holy Grail?These photos may come in handy, but I can't tell you the specifics. I asked Anfier for these photos, just in case. 】
Martha knew that things about the Holy Grail needed to be kept secret, but she was very obedient and didn't ask: [Okay~ If you need anything, you can contact me anytime~]
Ran Wenyu thanked, then turned off the phone, and looked at the two investigators again.
"Ten years ago, Anfeier said that he would redecorate the temple on Sabos Island, replace a batch of outdated decorations, and solicit works from members of the Yellow Seal Sect from all over the world, and select the best among them to be enshrined in front of the gods. " Ran Wenyu said the news he got from Anfeier, "At that time, I had not yet joined the sect, so I didn't know the specific situation, but it is said that this caused a huge sensation among the Huangyin sects, and everyone Let's take action and do our best to present the most perfect artwork to the gods."
Having said that, Ran Wenyu stopped, flipped through the photos of these stained glass windows—to be honest, he didn’t observe them carefully, whether it was this module or the module of the secret group, he just glanced at them and felt It was so uncomfortable that I didn't dare to look any further.
Ran Wenyu: "It has to be said that Shirley's works are unquestionable in being able to stand out among so many people. Even, this should be the pinnacle of her work and the most glorious moment in her life. However, in After overpowering the crowd and winning the first place, Shirley suddenly died in a fire, do you think this is just a coincidence?"
"Of course it's impossible!" Aliya said decisively without hesitation, "I heard that many outstanding artists have the factor of madness, such as Van Gogh, most of his most famous works were created after he suffered from mental illness. Another example is Munch, who also suffered from mental problems. The more crazy, the stronger the appeal of the work, and compared with bystanders, the artist himself is more likely to be immersed in madness and unable to extricate himself.”
"In order to be able to create works that satisfy the gods, it is very likely that Shirley fell into complete madness when designing the stained glass windows." Gerak immediately followed up, "and the fire may be herself when she went crazy. I didn’t expect to kill my son and daughter-in-law who were resting at home at the same time.”
"If Shirley couldn't control herself when she went crazy, she killed three people, and caused Louis to lose her parents at a young age, then the disgust Louis showed to us members of the church tonight is also reasonable. "Ran Wenyu added.
Although many details are imagined, all the clues are connected in series. The only problem is——
"If our conjecture is correct, then why did the religious sect keep secret about the fire?" Ran Wenyu raised doubts, "It is indeed not a glorious thing for the religious members to go crazy because of their creation, but it is not as good as it is. The enemy will completely erase it, and no one is allowed to mention it?"
"You mean, there should be other secrets hidden in it?" Jerak pondered.
"Yes." Ran Wenyu nodded, "We should still be wandering on the surface, and haven't really gone deep into the truth of the incident."
"In addition, we have been investigating the fire ten years ago, and the connection between this incident and the theft of the Holy Grail is not clear." Aliya sighed, a little sad.
"This is only the first day of investigation, so much has already been learned, and the progress is pretty good." Ran Wenyu was relatively calm, "We still have plenty of time, don't worry."
After chatting about the harvest tonight, the three of them shared the photos on their mobile phones, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Since this was still the first day after entering the module, the safety factor at night was relatively high, so Ran Wenyu slept defenselessly.But to his surprise, when he was sleeping soundly, he was awakened by KP.
KP: [Now, ask investigator Ran Wenyu to pass an inspiration test. 】
Ran Wenyu:? ? ? ? ? ?
Ran Wenyu opened his eyes in bewilderment, completely unaware of what happened, but he had to follow KP's request.
KP: [Inspiration check: Ran Wenyu, 75/36, successful. 】
At the moment when the inspiration was successful, Ran Wenyu found out from the corner of his vision that there seemed to be some black shadows moving outside the window.He cursed secretly in his heart, turned over and sat up suddenly, and looked at the black shadow outside the window.
The black figure looks like a snake, but it has a huge umbrella-like wing, and its figure looks very strange.Realizing that Ran Wenyu had noticed him, the monster let out a loud and piercing scream, swung its long tail suddenly, and pulled it towards the window blocking it, and the window was like paper, and it exploded easily open.
Ran Wenyu's bed was not far from the window. The moment the glass shattered, he rolled and crawled out of the bed by virtue of his survival instinct. He managed to avoid the flying glass shards, but before he got up, the monster He has already stuck his head into the room.
The monster's head is weird and distorted, its teeth are sharp and horrible, dripping disgusting liquid continuously, its huge eyes with cold light are staring at Ran Wenyu, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to hunt, with huge claws His appendages grabbed onto the window sill, and approached Ran Wenyu with a clear goal.
KP: [To witness an unknown mythical creature with your own eyes, please roll a sanity check with a penalty of 0 for success and 1D10 for failure. 】
Ran Wenyu: "……………………"
Probably because he has seen too many mythical creatures, Ran Wenyu really doesn't feel too much fear at this time, he just thinks that these things are so ugly that they are challenging human aesthetics without any bottom line.
"Why?" While turning the turntable, Ran Wenyu couldn't help but question from his soul, "Why am I the first person to be targeted by these mythical creatures in every module?!"
This is the case with Xia Gai, and it can be explained by "his own app has reached the peak of human beings, which is just in line with Xia En's ambition to conquer mankind with idols"; this is the case with deep divers, and it is also unlucky for them to listen to the sudden success. There was a "affectionate gaze" with the other party.But this time, Ran Wenyu swore, he really didn't do anything!But this monster ignored Jerak and Alia, and found him with exceptional precision. Regarding this result, Ran Wenyu was really at a loss and collapsed!
——Could it be that he still has the most suitable monster-recruiting physique for being an MT? !
KP: [Sanity check: Ran Wenyu, 80/47, successful.As a fanatic who has had close contact with an indescribable god, your will is unparalleled, and a mere creature driven by the god cannot bring you any fear and shake.Now, onto the battle round.Ran Wenyu's agility is 75 points, and the unknown mythical creature's agility is 65 points. Ran Wenyu takes the lead. 】
Knowing that with his weak and small body, it is absolutely impossible to fight the monster in front of him one-on-one, Ran Wenyu did not hesitate to use the magic "Raliyah Fog Making Technique".
KP:【冉文宇使用魔法“拉莱耶造雾术”,消耗2点魔法值,浓雾将持续1D6+4=7回合。】
"Raliya Fog Creation Technique" does not require any judgment. After the magic is successfully used, a thick fog suddenly rises in front of Ran Wenyu and the monster, blocking the sight of both sides, and Ran Wenyu goes to the place after releasing the magic. Rolled a distance to the side, holding his breath and not daring to make any movement.
After Ran Wenyu's operation was over, it was the monster's turn.The monster's vision was blocked, and he couldn't find Ran Wenyu at all. He could only probe towards the place where Ran Wenyu had just stood and took a bite, but only got a mouthful of thick fog.
Finding that blocking the line of sight is indeed effective, Ran Wenyu's heart that has been carrying him is finally relieved a little.
"KP, next, how many rounds will it take for me to move to the entrance of the hotel?" He didn't act without authorization, but asked KP seriously, and seriously emphasized, "Before I fell asleep, I had already remembered the information in this room." Even if you can't see the layout, you can roughly judge the location of the door by relying on your sense of direction and memory."
KP pondered for a moment: "It takes two rounds to get to the door from where you are standing, and one round to open the door. While moving, you need to get lucky every round to see if you can avoid the monster smoothly." investigation."
Compared with facing the monster directly, the success rate of escaping is already much higher.Without saying a word, Ran Wenyu immediately moved towards the door, trying not to make any noise—thankfully, this hotel is quite high-end, and the floor is covered with a layer of excellent-quality carpet, which greatly reduces Ran Wenyu's footsteps when walking around Voice.
KP: 【Luck check: Ran Wenyu, 70/27, successful. 】
Losing the target of the attack, the monster's mood became visibly irritable. Its whole body got into the house through the window, swung its long tail, and unexpectedly launched an AOE range attack.
KP: [Please ask investigator Ran Wenyu to have another luck to see if you are within the range of the monster's attack. 】
Ran Wenyu: "Fuck!"
KP: 【Luck check: Ran Wenyu, 70/53, successful. 】
After escaping, Ran Wenyu continued running towards the door without hesitation, and finally saw the dawn of luck.
KP: 【Luck check: Ran Wenyu, 70/41, successful. 】
The monster let out a sharp cry, twisted its body violently, and rushed in one direction.
KP dark cast.
The monster slammed into the wall with such force that Ran Wenyu had the illusion that the room was about to collapse.
KP: [The monster's attack failed, and it suffered impact damage of 1D3=2 points, which was offset by the tough skin armor. 】
Ran Wenyu: "……………………"
Regardless of the self-harming monster, Ran Wenyu managed to reach the door and unlock it.
KP: [Luck check: Ran Wenyu, 70/83, failed. 】
Facts have proved that a person's luck is conserved. Ran Wenyu previously avoided so many dangers by virtue of his super high luck value, but he stumbled at the last kick.
The moment the door lock was opened, there was a slight "click" sound, which was especially noticeable in a quiet room.
Ran Wenyu's face paled suddenly, he could no longer care about his cautious movements, he pushed open the door suddenly, stumbled into the corridor, and the monster also locked his position in an instant, its umbrella-like wings flapped, and its long The body is like an arrow from the string, and it quickly shoots out in the direction of the sound.
As soon as he left the room, Ran Wenyu came face to face with Gerak and Aliya who heard the noise and pushed the door from left to right.
Seeing that Ran Wenyu was safe and sound, Jerak and Aliya both showed surprise expressions—God knows how worried they were when they suddenly heard an ominous noise from the next door when they were half asleep.
However, before the smiles on their faces were revealed, the two saw the one-winged snake-shaped monster chasing after Ran Wenyu. Suddenly, the smiles twisted into panic.
KP: [To witness an unknown mythical creature with your own eyes, ask investigators Alia and Jerak to roll a sanity check that reduces 0 on success and reduces 1D10 on failure. 】
Alicia & Gerak: "Fuck!"
