Please charm this NPC

Liang Yu and Ma Qiang showed fear on their faces, looking around unconsciously, trying to find the person who made the sound, while Gao Ruihua also frowned tightly, the hairs on his back stood on end, as if his every move was being caught by a pair of The trembling feeling of the eyes watching.

On the contrary, Ran Wenyu didn't know whether he was nervous or wanted to test further, so he raised his eyebrows in a relaxed tone and said, "A private detective and a thief partner?"

[Anyway, private detective is not a legal profession, is it?Candid filming, wiretapping, and even illegal intrusion, as long as they can find the evidence they need, they don't care about the methods they use. ] The narrator chuckled lightly and answered very friendly.

"...Okay." Ran Wenyu was persuaded, "Then where should we go next?"

【Investigators are requested to explore in person. 】

Ran Wenyu: "Then what should I call you?"

【You can call me KP, or the Keeper】

Hearing KP's answer, Ran Wenyu turned his head to look at the other three, showing a helpless smile: "Congratulations, it seems that we are going to fight wits and courage with the indescribable god Cthulhu and his followers. "

The faces of the three turned pale, and they didn't want to accept such congratulations at all - no matter how sweet Ran Wenyu's dimples were, they couldn't save them from their panic.

【do not worry. 】The player who found himself seemed to be frightened, and KP’s tone was exceptionally gentle, 【I’m not an evil existence, I’m just a little bored, so I just want to find some people to accompany me and pass the time. 】

"If that's the case, will you let us go after the plot is finished?" Gao Ruihua asked.

[If you don't break my rules and don't do things that make me unhappy, then yes, I'll let you go. 】

"Even if we encounter danger in the plot, such as death or madness, can we return to reality safely?" Ran Wenyu quickly grasped the point.

【Yes. 】KP is still gentle and friendly.

"...Then can we commit suicide now?" Ma Qiang's eyes lit up.

[Investigators can completely commit suicide. 】KP chuckled, 【But if you do this, I will be very unhappy. 】

Four people: "……………………"

After roughly confirming the KP's attitude, the four of them finally calmed down a little.According to KP, as long as they die well and make KP happy, then it doesn't matter if they go crazy and die in the game.But if they fight against KP and ruin the plot set by "it", then they probably won't get any good fruit to eat.

This feeling that the power of life and death is in the hands of others is really terrible, but they have no right to resist, and can only use their own actions to please the other party as much as possible.

Taking a deep breath, Ran Wenyu looked at Liang Yu: "Sister Liang Yu, do you know which hotel your mother lives in?"

"Me? I didn't even know I had a mother..." Liang Yu replied in a trance reflexively, before she realized the words, "No, I mean, I didn't even know that I had a mother in the plot .”

"Then, do you have a picture of Mrs. Liang?" Ran Wenyu reminded.

Liang Yu hurriedly lowered her head to search for the women's bag that she had been holding in her hand, and as expected, she found a family photo in the wallet.

Ran Wenyu took the photo, took out the phone in his pocket and took a photo, then handed it to Gao Ruihua next to him.As the only "veteran" who has played group running, he has to take the lead when his teammates have not yet entered the rhythm of the game: "The town should not be big, but it is a bit inefficient for everyone to search together. I suggest that we split up Four way."

Gao Ruihua nodded in agreement, and also took pictures with his mobile phone.But Liang Yu showed embarrassment: "I, I'm a little timid, I dare not walk around by myself..."

"Then Sister Liang Yu will be with Brother Ma, it happens that you are also boyfriend and girlfriend." Ran Wenyu blinked.The white and tender young man spoke with a relaxed tone, as if they were really just playing a game, which made the other three feel relieved.

Liang Yu turned her head to look at Ma Qiang, her cheeks blushing slightly - it has to be said that Ma Qiang, a tall man, can indeed give girls a lot of peace of mind in this environment.

After discussing and making a decision, the four of them bought a map at the entrance of the station, and found that there were four hotels marked on the map. Originally, it was just right for one person and one family, but because Liang Yu didn't dare to act alone, so many extra hotels were planned for Gao Ruihua Within the scope of the search—after all, this person is a private detective, and those who can do more work.

Before spreading out to find clues about Mrs. Liang, Ran Wenyu also used the chat app built into his mobile phone to build a contact group, reminding everyone that once they have clues, they should post them to the group and share among four people—for a running group, In addition to secret groups, clue sharing is very important.

Since it is not the peak tourist season at this time, there are not many people in the small town of Rodrini.Ran Wenyu checked the map and asked the townspeople with the photos on his mobile phone.

Teenagers are too beautiful, and human beings are always full of patience and gentleness towards beautiful things.Along the way, Ran Wenyu found out that many people had seen Mrs. Liang, but unfortunately, he did not get any useful clues.

Half an hour later, he walked to his destination, a hotel called "OuterFlower".

Facing the words on the hotel signboard in silence for a long time, Ran Wenyu was thoughtful, and aware of what he seemed to be thinking, the melodious male voice happily suggested: [You seem to have noticed something, do you need to pass an inspiration test? 】

Ran Wenyu, who was just thinking about his foreign language proficiency:? ? ? ? ? ?

The inspiration check means that there is a clue here, Ran Wenyu touched his chin: "How to check?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a D100 dice the size of a football appearing in the void in front of him.

Seeing the real 100-sided dice for the first time, Ran Wenyu was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "…………………"

——It’s really amazing, my KP boss.

"This thing... how to throw it? Do you pick it up and throw it?" Ran Wenyu was very curious, and even stretched out his paw eager to try, and touched it lightly.

[No, I just found out that you are very curious about 100 dice, so I will show you. 】KP laughed, 【But we don't use this, it's too troublesome, we use a turntable. ] After all, the D100 dice became a turntable divided into 100 parts, each with an Arabic numeral written on it.

Suddenly, Ran Wenyu's shoulders collapsed, and even his curly hair collapsed.

Feeling sorry for the 100-sided dice that was only used for display, Ran Wenyu held the edge of the turntable according to KP's request, and the pedestrians who were still moving around suddenly stopped, as if the pause button was pressed in the movie.However, Ran Wenyu was not surprised by this, but asked with some concern: "Is there a big success or a big failure in this game?"

【some. 】KP's voice is quite looking forward to it, 【Major success is 1~5, and major failure is 96~100. 】

Ran Wenyu took a deep breath and turned the turntable. Soon, the number on the turntable stopped at 82.

[Inspiration check: 75/82, failed. 】KP was a little disappointed, 【You think this is just a very ordinary hotel signboard, there is nothing strange about it. 】

Ran Wenyu shrugged his shoulders, also a little disappointed - but dice luck is like this, even if you point a skill to 90, there is still a 10% chance of failure, everything depends on the will of the dice goddess.

Accidents, chances, you can never predict what will happen in the next second, this is the charm of running groups.

Packing up his mood and stepping into the hotel, Ran Wenyu unexpectedly learned from the proprietress at the front desk that Mrs. Liang had indeed stayed here not long ago, but she had already checked out five days ago, and she didn't know where the other party would go next. where.

Ran Wenyu rolled a psychology, and KP told him that the proprietress was not lying.However, because psychology is an undercover cast, Ran Wenyu doesn't know whether the answer is true or not—with his not very high psychological ability, he feels that he has failed again in all likelihood.

However, since he found the hotel where Mrs. Liang was staying, Ran Wenyu had completed the task, and he immediately sent a message in the contact group, calling for his teammates to come over.

Ten minutes later, the four met at the hotel entrance.

Stopping the little friend who was about to enter the hotel, Ran Wenyu showed his dimples and pointed to the hotel sign: "I saw this sign just now, and I suddenly had a very strange feeling, but unfortunately I didn't catch it. Can you feel anything? ?”

Hearing Ran Wenyu's question, the other three were stunned.Gao Ruihua stared at the signboard for three seconds: "... speak human language?"

"It's just... just now, KP asked me to roll an inspiration on the signboard, but I failed, and I didn't think of anything. Do you want to try it too?" Ran Wenyu said with an innocent expression, "I just don't like running a group. There are too many ultra-game dialogues in it, but unfortunately you probably can't get what I mean."

After saying this, Ran Wenyu obviously felt a wave of joy around him. Obviously, his words pleased this mysterious KP.

As newcomers to the running group, the other three of course couldn't keep up with Ran Wenyu's rhythm, and they didn't even know that they could still roll.

"What will happen if the ROLL point fails, and what will happen if it succeeds?" Gao Ruihua asked calmly after asking about the rules of the ROLL point.

"If it fails, it's probably like me, nothing will happen. If it succeeds, we may get some obscure clues." Ran Wenyu replied with a smile.

Hearing the word "clue", the other three people's eyes lit up.God knows, they have been wandering around this ordinary town for a long time without any abnormalities, and have not obtained any useful information. The word "clue" is really irresistible.

Under the temptation of the "clue", the three quickly decided to try the same thing, but unfortunately, KP did not intend to do what they wanted. Obviously, this inspiration also has certain triggering conditions.

【After hearing Ran Wenyu's words, only Gao Ruihua seemed to feel something, but Ma Qiang and Liang Yu felt nothing. 】KP was not polite, and slapped his face on the spot, 【Now, please Gao Ruihua for inspiration. 】

Ma Qiang and Liang Yu, who were ignored by the KP without even trying, said: "…………………"

—Are we being discriminated against? !

Fortunately, although Ma Qiang and Liang Yu had no chance, Gao Ruihua was still very strong, and the result given by the turntable showed that his inspiration check was successful.

However, before everyone could be happy, Gao Ruihua suddenly lost his eyesight and his legs went limp in the next moment. Fortunately, Ma Qiang quickly supported him with his hands and eyes, so he didn't sit down on the ground.

After a while, Gao Ruihua finally regained consciousness. He leaned against Ma Qiang, covered his chest and retched several times, but he didn't vomit anything. His whole body was covered with cold sweat, like a poor quail wet by rain.

"What, what's wrong?" Ma Qiang's expression was flustered, and he tried to support Gao Ruihua's limp body, while KP's voice sounded at the same time: [Please perform SANCHECK, minus 1 for success, and minus 1D3 for failure. 】

"What is SANCHECK?" Gao Ruihua turned pale, but still calm, and asked Ran Wenyu.

Ran Wenyu looked at him worriedly: "The SAN value is our sanity value. If it drops too much at one time, we will fall into short-term madness from time to time, and if it returns to zero, we will go completely crazy-of course, please don't worry. This time, the Sancheck will lose at most 3 points, so I won’t go crazy.”

Hearing Ran Wenyu's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Gao Ruihua felt better, thanked Ma Qiang, stood up straight, and turned the turntable that appeared in front of him again.

KP: [Sanity check: 75/42, successful, SAN value minus 1. 】

The deduction of the SAN value also showed that the turmoil was completely over. Everyone calmed down and began to ask Gao Ruihua what he saw.

Gao Ruihua tried hard to remember, but he didn't know how to express it in words, so he could only try to describe: "I saw the red sky, the black twisted like shadows of huge flesh and tentacles, as high as a mountain, and like... A weird big tree? That image just flashed by, but it made me feel almost submerged in fear. As for the more detailed things, I can’t remember them.”

After Gao Ruihua finished speaking, he turned his attention to Ran Wenyu. After all, among the four, he was the only one who knew the most about this aspect.

It's a pity that even Ran Wenyu couldn't deduce any useful information from it. He could only say that - this time, it seemed that they were indeed facing a certain god.

After the inspiration test, the four of them finally entered the hotel, and asked the hotel proprietress about Mrs. Liang's whereabouts, and then obtained through psychology that "she was a little impatient, but she obviously didn't lie" and "her words flickered, as if she was lying." "Conclusion.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, there was nothing they could do about it, so they could only temporarily abandon the line of the proprietress and start the check-in procedure.When booking the room, Ran Wenyu specifically proposed to stay in the room where Mrs. Liang lived before, but was rejected by the proprietress.

"Sorry, there is already a guest in this room." The proprietress looked at her record book and replied apologetically.

Ran Wenyu frowned slightly: "Then can I know Mrs. Liang's room number? I want to discuss with that guest and exchange rooms."

The proprietress showed hesitation.

Ran Wenyu turned his head to look at Gao Ruihua: "Brother Gao, you vote for persuasion."

Gao Ruihua's dice luck is very stable. After the success of inspiration and will, his persuasion skills are also successful. He is simply a pure-blooded European.Afterwards, the proprietress was defeated by the eloquent private detective, and obediently told Mrs. Liang the room number - 301.

In order to facilitate the investigation, at Ran Wenyu's suggestion, all four of them booked rooms on the third floor of the hotel.They went back to their rooms to check, and after finding nothing unusual, they met at the door of Room 301.

As the private detective with the highest negotiation skills, Gao Ruihua once again shouldered the task of communicating with this guest, and when Gao Ruihua knocked on the door, the four of them couldn't help being stunned.

——Because, the young man who opened the door is really too handsome, which is a kind of beauty completely different from Ran Wenyu's soft and immature.

He has long golden hair tied with a blue headband.Wearing a white shirt on the upper body and a pair of jeans on the lower body, the clothing is extremely simple and clean, but it can't hide its artist-like elegance at all.The blue eyes of the young man carried a slight smile, and the outline of his facial features was deep and upright like that of a Westerner, but also delicate and delicate like that of an Easterner, so beautiful that he looked like a finely crafted work of art.

The four people photographed by each other's appearance: "…………………"

——Judging by his looks, he is definitely an important NPC!

The author has something to say: Note:

1d3，1d6,1d20,1d100，这些都是骰子的类型，分别是三面骰子（数字1~3），六面骰子（数字1~6），二十面骰子（1~20），100面骰子（1~100）之类。

[Inspiration check: 75/82, failed. ] in the "Number/Number", the first number represents the attribute of the character itself, and the last number represents the result of the cast point.If the score is higher than the attribute, the action fails; if the score is lower than the attribute, the action succeeds.So the higher the attribute, the higher the success rate of the action.

I will try my best to explain the terms (?) of some running groups, but it is actually very simple, and everyone will know it after a little understanding~
