Please charm this NPC

After a good night's sleep, Ran Wenyu was woken up on time by the alarm clock on his mobile phone. When he yawned and went downstairs, Thomas, Alia, and Gerak had already prepared lunch.

Unlike Ran Wenyu, who is in high spirits because of getting enough sleep, Aliya and Gerak are obviously not in good spirits—but I also know that there was a thrilling disco dance at the gate of hell last night, not only seriously injured, but even a decent one. There is no bed for them, it is strange that these two can rest well!

Silently apologized to his teammates in his heart, Ran Wenyu wrapped his little vest tightly, and greeted them one by one with a smile.

After enjoying an extremely hearty breakfast, Priest Thomas went to work in the library. As for the three of them, Ran Wenyu was handed over the keys and allowed to enter and exit Thomas' house at will.

And such a good opportunity, of course the investigators will not let it go.

Holding the airs of the vice-priest of his sect, Ran Wenyu naturally couldn't rummage through the mansion like the investigators, so he handed over this job to Gerak and Alia, while he himself leaned on the comfortable and soft On the sofa, she took out her mobile phone and carefully browsed the stained glass photos that Martha sent to her last night. At the same time, she also called up Shirley's other works for comparison.

To be honest, this is the first time that Ran Wenyu has observed these stained glass seriously.Just like Shirley's consistent style, the stained glass uses extremely bright and bold colors that give people enough sensory stimulation. Large areas of colors are intertwined to form a picture scroll of evil, profanity and temptation.

Ran Wenyu narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to identify what was painted on the stained glass, but maybe it was a problem with the shooting angle, or maybe Ran Wenyu really didn't have much artistic talent. He looked and looked, but he was still a little confused.

"KP, I think there must be important clues hidden in these stained glass." Ran Wenyu gave up relying on his lackluster appreciation and decided to ask KP for help, "What should I do to understand what is painted on the stained glass?" What is it?"

KP: [So, let’s have an inspiration. 】

Hearing KP say the word "inspiration", Ran Wenyu reacted reflexively: "Inspiration, do I need a SANCHECK?!"

KP smiled lightly, and asked softly: [What do you think? 】

Ran Wenyu was serious: "I said no need."

KP: [Congratulations, you guessed wrong. 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——He has a sentence of MMP, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not.

I deeply feel that since I used Ai Liangjing as a shield, I am no longer KP's cutie. Ran Wenyu is a little worried, but he dare not say it, he dare not ask, he can only endure this cruel gap silently .

Calculating with his fingers, he found that his sanity was barely enough, Ran Wenyu took a deep breath, and said righteously, "Then come!"

KP: [Inspiration check: Ran Wenyu, 75/3, great success. 】

The moment the words "big success" appeared, Ran Wenyu found that the stained glass displayed on the screen of his mobile phone had changed. The lines that were originally blurred by colors suddenly became clear, and became two figures of a man and a woman.The two are entangled by indescribable monsters, like lambs sacrificed to evil gods, pure, innocent, devout and crazy, and lifelike.

They seemed to be howling, but also seemed to be laughing sharply. Both their expressions and limbs were extremely distorted, revealing a kind of breathtaking cruel beauty.Ran Wenyu only felt his heart pounding and his head was dizzy. He resisted the feeling of discomfort, and quickly flipped through all the photos of the stained glass, and found that all of them were the same man and woman, but the postures and expressions were different. The difference is that sometimes only a man is depicted, and sometimes only a woman.

KP: [After understanding the scene Shirley painted on the stained glass window, your mind has suffered a huge shock. Now please pass a sanity check that reduces 1 for success and 1D3+1 for failure. 】

Ran Wenyu held his buzzing head and turned the turntable.

KP: [Will test: 30/58, failed, sanity reduced by 1D3+1=4.You are deeply attracted by these pieces of stained glass, and feel that they are so exquisite, they are simply treasures bestowed by the gods.Yes, they are not the creations of Shirley, but the miracles that the gods showed to the believers with the help of Shirley. 】

Ran Wenyu:? ? ? ? ? ?

Ran Wenyu looked confused: "No, KP, isn't my willpower 80?"

KP's answer is extremely innocent: [Did you ignore the brackets at the end? 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

KP: [As a fanatic, when it comes to the King in Yellow and the sect, your willpower is only 30 points. 】

Repeatedly telling himself to be calm, Ran Wenyu forced himself to look away from the stained-glass photo, and instead began to think about the clues of this great success of inspiration.

The scene of a man and a woman being sacrificed to an evil god is depicted on the stained glass, which is not a problem in terms of subject matter, after all, it is not tiring to work together (?).But for some reason, Ran Wenyu thought of Louis' parents, the young couple who were burned to death with Shirley in the fire.

Ran Wenyu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly searched for the group photo of the Joneses taken by Gerak, carefully comparing the two in the photo with the man and woman on the stained glass in his mind.

Since Shirley's original paintings were abstract paintings, the appearance of the two must be different, but Ran Wenyu found that the man on the stained glass had dark brown curly hair, and the woman had long blond hair. Point, but can be right on the number.

So... Shirley designed the stained-glass windows based on her son and daughter-in-law?

Thinking of this possibility, Ran Wenyu felt the hairs on his back stand on end. He didn't dare to think about it any further, so he quickly called out to Aliya and Gerak, and informed them of his discovery.

Hearing Ran Wenyu's guess, the two investigators showed horrified expressions, quickly took out their mobile phones, carefully observed the pictures of the stained glass, and then were kindly asked by KP to conduct a SANCHECK.

Jerac & Aaliyah: Shit!Careless!

After Hanhen passed the sanity test, Gerak and Alia stared at the stained glass for a long time, but they didn't see any tricks at all. It was Ran Wenyu who could clearly identify the content of the painting after the success of the inspiration, and drew the outline for them. It was only then that he could barely distinguish the distorted figure from the complex and complex colors.

Aliya frowned, examined it hard for a while, finally rubbed her eyes unbearably, and chose to give up: "This stained glass is so weird and messy, my lord deacon, how did you know what it painted?"

Aliya's tone was full of disbelief. Of course, she was not questioning Ran Wenyu's discovery, but was feeling emotional.

Ran Wenyu met the admiring and doubtful eyes of his two teammates, and Gao Sen smiled unpredictablely: "For such a masterpiece bestowed by God, it is difficult for ordinary people to see its reality with the naked eye. You can't just see it with your eyes, but with your heart." , Use the soul to comprehend."

——In short, it is "Dears~ come and get inspired!"

It's a pity that neither Alia nor Gerak understood the hidden meaning behind Ran Wenyu's eccentric speech. This is probably a manifestation of straightforward Westerners who don't understand the implicit beauty of Eastern vocabulary.

The corner of Aliya's mouth twitched, and she secretly whispered to Gerak: "This Ran Wenyu has always acted like a normal person, with a clear mind and a calm personality. I almost forgot that he is a fanatic."

Jerak nodded with deep empathy: "This stained glass, probably only the lunatic 'soul' of a true cultist can understand it?"

Ran Wenyu:? ? ? ? ? ?

——No, I kindly remind you, why do you speak ill of me in front of me? !Be careful that the NPC turns against you!

Fortunately, after Alia and Gerak reached an agreement, they quit as soon as they saw it, and did not further stimulate Ran Wenyu's nerves.

Looking at Ran Wenyu again, Aliya looked serious: "Although we can't see the truth described on the stained glass like you can, we trust your judgment."

Gerak nodded: "It seems that Shirley's works can stand out from the world's believers because she uses real living people as the blueprints, which is why she created the most peak works in her life."

"However, I really can't imagine...how bloody and cruel this painting process must be." Alia frowned, her voice trembled slightly, and her face lost all color because of the scene she imagined.

"If our guess is correct, it will be very difficult for Jones and Merry to survive after the creation is over." Gerac was much calmer and analyzed carefully, "If the two of them die, then the death must be very miserable. It was impossible to explain it to outsiders. So, after confirming that her work was selected, Shirley set fire to the house, and the bodies of the husband and wife disappeared in the fire. As for herself..." Jerak pursed his lips , "It is possible that she was really crazy, so she did not have time to escape from the house after setting the fire; it is also possible that she woke up from the passion of creation, realized that she had killed her son and daughter-in-law, and was extremely remorseful, so she committed suicide together in the fire Atonement."

Jerak's speculation is reasonable based on the current clues.Ran Wenyu nodded in agreement: "If Shirley killed her son and daughter-in-law cruelly for the sake of creation, it would indeed be a huge scandal for the church. More importantly, the reason for the fire was to cover up the truth of the murder , then naturally, the less people know about it, the less people talk about it, the better. Thomas deliberately erased the information about Shirley, Jones, Merry, and Big Fire from the branch’s files, and it’s justified.”

"Looking at it this way, Priest Thomas must have known the truth ten years ago, but he chose to remain silent and conceal it. As for the only person left who might know... that is Louis." Alia murmured, " At that time, Louis should have been six or seven years old, right? Children of this age have already remembered things, and if they matured earlier, they would have been able to understand most things." At this point, she shivered slightly, "You say , Did Louis know that his parents were murdered by his grandmother? Even... even saw it with his own eyes? That's why he hated the church so much? Then the theft of the Holy Grail, is it related to him? Does he... want to Use this to avenge the sect?"

By now, everything is connected.The fire ten years ago and the theft of the Holy Grail ten years later are finally related.

The investigators sat face to face, and silently sorted out the cause and effect in their hearts. They felt that there was no big bug, so they continued to discuss along this line of thought.

Ran Wenyu: "Priest Thomas said that no one knows where the Holy Grail is stored except him, Kevin, Jonah, Jacob, and Priest Anthony, but as the closest person to Priest Thomas, Louis is very likely to know the news. It's also easy to get the fingerprints of Priest Thomas."

"That's right, Priest Thomas was defenseless against Louis. If Louis stole Priest Thomas' ID card and key at night, he could indeed sneak into the office without making a sound and take the Holy Grail away." Aliya nodded.

"But Louis is only a 17-year-old kid, can he really do this without any flaws?" Gerak asked.

Ran Wenyu shook his finger: "He is definitely not alone. Louis has long had hatred for the religious order, but he has never taken any action. He did it at this time. Someone or something must have given it to him. It gave him confidence and pushed him from behind." After a pause, Ran Wenyu looked at his little friend, "Don't forget, the horror hunter who attacked us last night also appeared on the surveillance screen, and Louis, Clearly no ability to command it."

"So, Louis was used by someone." Aliya sighed, "The person behind the scenes took advantage of his hatred for the cult and used him to steal the Holy Grail."

"I think the Holy Grail is not in the hands of Louis at the moment, and it is very likely that Louis has handed it over to someone behind the scenes." Gerak agreed, "If we want to recover the Holy Grail, we must use Louis to find the culprit."

After talking here, everything was straightened out, and the investigators also confirmed the next goal, which was to find Louis who had run away from home.

"Just right, I just found some personal information about Louis in his room, such as school, class, etc." Alia took out a student ID card and a mobile phone, "His mobile phone was too hasty to bring Let's go, it's a pity that I don't know the password, so I can't unlock it."

"Priest Thomas may know the unlock code, we can ask. In addition, he said that he will try to contact Louis today, and we can check the situation." Gerak couldn't wait to stand up, "If there is no news, we will go to His school, looking for his friend's home address, will definitely catch this kid!"

Without further ado, the investigators started to act immediately, but they didn't expect that when they had just left Thomas' house, they saw the boy they were looking for leaning against a wall not far away, as if waiting for someone.

"Louis?!" Alicia cried out.

Hearing the words, the rebellious young man raised his head and looked straight at the three of Ran Wenyu, making no secret that he was waiting for them.He stood up straight and walked in front of the investigators in two or three steps. His lips were tightly pursed, his face was tense, and his eyes were full of disgust, indifference and rejection.

"Hello." Louis stared at Ran Wenyu, his tone was not polite, "Your name is Ran Wenyu, right?"

Ran Wenyu remained expressionless, and nodded slightly: "Yes, I am, you want to find me?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you, you come with me." Louis raised his chin and emphasized arrogantly, "You are the only one! Those two followers, you can't follow me!"

Ran Wenyu froze for a moment, then turned to look at Aliya and Gerak, and Liya and Gerak also frowned, looking worried.

——This development seems to be a bit wrong, doesn't it?They went to find Louis, and the initiative was in their hands, but Louis suddenly appeared and asked Ran Wenyu to go with him alone, but it was obvious that Louis had the upper hand.

Then how should they choose?
