Please charm this NPC

If the investigators hadn't deduced that Louis was related to the mastermind who stole the Holy Grail, they wouldn't worry about Ran Wenyu and Louis being alone. After all, Ran Wenyu could be regarded as a small boss in terms of identity and strength. Such a powerful horror hunter can be sung by his "Song of Hastur", which is completely unmatched by an underage kid like Louis.

However, Louis is not just Louis, there is also a mysterious existence hidden in the dark standing behind him, even the high priest of Anfeier is afraid, and needs to be dealt with personally. Once Ran Wenyu left with Louis alone, he was brought to this mysterious existence In front of existence, it is tantamount to a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

"It's too dangerous." Alia reached out subconsciously, grabbed Ran Wenyu's sleeve, and stopped his movement, "My lord, you can't go!" After a pause, she glanced at Louis and lowered her voice, "If If we want to get news from Louis, how about taking the opportunity to capture him? My lord, your wizard order can just be used to pry this guy's mouth open."

"I don't think it's appropriate." Jerak shook his head and refuted Aliya's suggestion, "We can't deal with the people behind Louis, I think we should follow him first, pretend that we don't know anything, and temporarily The people behind the scenes are stable, and the best time for us to do it is when the high priest of Anfeier arrives."

"What if we follow him, and the other party still attacks us?" Aliya frowned.

"If he really wanted to kill us, he wouldn't just send Louis over." Gerak retorted, "He would directly send one, or even two horror hunters, and we would definitely die."

It was the first time that the two investigators were in such a situation where they disagreed, and neither could convince the other for a while.After discussing with each other for a while, and after expounding their views, they all turned their attention to Ran Wenyu, and let him make the decision—as Ran Wenyu played an increasingly important role, unconsciously, the two of them really handed over the initiative to this "" NPC" in the belief that he will make the right decision.

Ran Wenyu was watched eagerly by his teammates, and he was a little uncertain for a while.To be honest, he himself didn't want to take risks, but his intuition told him that the people behind the scenes would never give up his plan because of his rejection once. If he didn't cooperate this time, then the next "invitation method" , I am afraid it will be even worse.

After thinking about it, Ran Wenyu's opinion is still gradually biased towards Jerak - temporarily stabilize the people behind the scenes and wait for Anfeier's arrival. This seems to be the safest way to deal with it at present.

Taking a deep breath, Ran Wenyu expressed his thoughts. Aliya was still worried, and finally did not stop him. Although Jerak was praised, he didn't feel happy.

"My lord, please be careful." Gerak warned carefully, "Although on the surface, you followed Louis alone, but we will secretly follow behind to protect you."

Ran Wenyu nodded with a smile, accepting Jerak's kindness.

The investigators agreed, and Louis was impatient with waiting, and couldn't help urging: "What are you discussing! Is it over?" He said with a mocking face, "Why, You 'big shots', are you still afraid that I won't be a high school student?"

The word "big man" was said by Louis in a weird way, which aroused a lot of hatred, but the investigators who were facing the enemy were not in the mood to get angry with him-they were indeed afraid, that's right.

"I can go with you, but you have to tell me why you asked me to be alone?" Ran Wenyu gave Alia and Gerak a comforting look, turned around and walked in front of Louis, with a calm and puzzled tone.

It was probably the first time for Louis to take a closer look at Ran Wenyu's appearance, his eyes froze unconsciously, and there was a faint sense of enlightenment.

"You, you are a high-ranking member of your grandfather's sect, right? He is respectful to you, and I have never seen him flatter others like this." Louis said awkwardly, and quickly looked away, "I have something to tell you , I can only tell you one person."

Ran Wenyu raised his eyebrows, "What is it about?"

"It's about..." Louis pursed his lips tightly, his expression a bit complicated and distorted, "It's about my parents who died ten years ago."

Hearing what Louis said, the investigators were all taken aback. They originally thought that Louis was a bait to lure Ran Wenyu away, but they didn't expect that he could really give them the clues they needed.

For a while, everyone became suspicious of their previous judgment.

However, no matter how the investigators questioned him, Louis kept silent and kept urging Ran Wenyu to leave with him.Ran Wenyu had no choice but to wink to his little friends, and then followed behind Louis.

Louis was obviously very familiar with this neighborhood, he led Ran Wenyu through the streets and alleys, and went straight into a fast food restaurant.

Because it was past meal time, the fast food restaurant was very quiet, and there were no other customers except Louis and Ran Wenyu.The owner of the fast food restaurant seemed to be very familiar with Louis, and greeted him with a smile, and Louis responded loudly: "Uncle Deli, quickly bring me two hot dogs, a piece of French fries, and a large glass of Coke I haven't had breakfast yet, I'm starving to death!"

The owner of the fast food restaurant smiled and handed Louis a paper cup. Louis took a full glass of Coke for himself, took a big swig with the straw in his mouth, and sat down in a seat by the window with satisfaction.

Ran Wenyu looked at Louis who looked like an ordinary boy in front of outsiders, and sat quietly opposite him.

The fast food was served steaming hot on the table in no time, and Louis quickly wiped out a hot dog to pad his stomach, and then slowed down his eating speed.

Ran Wenyu waited for a long time. Seeing that Louis was concentrating on his meal and didn't seem to speak, he had to take the initiative to ask: "What exactly is the thing you said to tell me?"

Louis froze while holding the hot dog, buried his head in silence, and exuded a gloomy atmosphere all over his body: "What is the god you believe in?"

Hearing Louis' blasphemous words, Ran Wenyu, who is a fanatic, frowned reflexively, showing displeasure: "My God is a great existence that foolish mortals like you can't peek into, let alone understand."

Louis sneered: "Great? It's obviously evil! It's it that taught you cultists to abandon your humanity, disregard family affection and etiquette! You are no longer human beings, but a group of crazy monsters!"

This is not the first time that Ran Wenyu has been pointed and scolded by Louis, so he is quite calm at the moment: "I admit that some of our actions are indeed unreasonable and crazy in the eyes of ordinary people. But we have Our own firm beliefs and ideas, we firmly believe that we are walking on the correct path to the gods. Our gods are indescribable, so we naturally have to throw away all the shackles given to us by human limitations and follow God pace, and you who are restricted by the human race, it is reasonable that you cannot understand our pursuit."

After speaking these high-sounding, confusing black and white words, Ran Wenyu couldn't help giving himself a thumbs up. He always felt that he was really more and more like a qualified cult member, and he was completely able to release the mental hospital to brainwash normal people.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ran Wenyu's answer, Louis was speechless, as if seeing a mental patient with clear logic talking.

--how to say?Ran Wenyu admitted that he had abandoned the shackles of human beings, saying that he was no longer a human being, so how could he be accused by human morality?

Louis opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. After a while, two words popped out: "Crazy!"

Ran Wenyu smiled slightly, accepted the evaluation calmly, and then turned the topic back to the beginning: "You came to me alone, you shouldn't just want to scold me, right? What exactly do you want to say?"

Louis put down the half-eaten hot dog and took another big sip of Coke. The paper cup was twisted and deformed by his strength: "My parents were killed by my grandmother." His voice was hoarse, because of hatred , Confused, hesitant and trembling slightly, "In order to create the most outstanding work, my grandmother hung my parents in the basement, tortured them, pierced their bodies, broke their bones, blood, endless blood, whatever I can't do anything... But my parents—" He trembled violently, his tone became terrified, "They were laughing, happy, moaning and screaming because of pain, and sincerely smiling, praying to the so-called god who made them like this..."

Having said that, Louis couldn't go on anymore. He raised his head, his eyes were red, and he didn't know whether it was fear, sadness, or madness, and he became hysterical: "You—you are all lunatics. !"

Ran Wenyu fell silent, not knowing what to say.That kind of scene is indeed weird, distorted and terrifying, and the massacre is terrible, but if both the perpetrator and the victim enjoy the massacre and think it is noble, great, and pious, then that is the real truth. madness.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" After a while, Ran Wenyu asked dryly.

"Yes, I saw it." Louis pulled his contorted muscles, "I was so scared that I stood at the basement door and didn't dare to move. My grandfather found me, then gagged me and covered me locked me in a small room, and refused to let me out no matter how much I cried—and by the time I left that room, my parents and grandmother had already been buried in the fire middle."

Squeezing the paper cup tightly, letting the cold Coke overflow and spilling his hands all over his body, Louis seemed like a lost lamb: "I don't understand, what happened to my parents, what happened to my grandmother, and my Grandpa, why didn't he stop it, why did he let everything happen... Are they wrong, or am I wrong, or... this world is wrong?"

Living in such a fanatical fanatic family since he was a child, what Louis heard and saw was the reverence of his parents and elders for their gods.Originally, Louis would naturally become a fanatic, but when his faith was not fully established, he saw such a crazy scene with his own eyes. It is conceivable how little Louis would have collapsed at that time.

As a fanatic, Ran Wenyu's personality should understand Shirley's family, but he was a little afraid to say it, for fear of further stimulating Louis. After all, they still need to continue to find the whereabouts of the Holy Grail from Louis.

After thinking for a moment, Ran Wenyu decided to make a tactful sophistry.He sighed softly: "You can't understand the choices of your parents and grandparents, because your eyes can only see the human world."

Louis returned to his senses in a daze, and looked at Ran Wenyu.

Ran Wenyu took out his mobile phone and clicked on the photo of the stained glass window designed by Shirley: "In this world, there are countless forms of life. There are also countless forms of life. It is not only the survival of the body, but life." When the photo was placed in front of Louis, Ran Wenyu said earnestly, "Your grandmother carved the souls of your parents into the stained glass and sent them to the gods. They will serve the gods forever. An unfettered form of life."

KP: [If you want to convince Louis, you need to have a rhetoric. 】

Ran Wenyu stammered: "Isn't it okay to be charming?"

KP clicked his tongue softly: [You have a real boyfriend, and you still want to charm the NPC in the plot? 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

--grass!This is so reasonable, I can't even refute it!

Taking out his character card and looking at it, Ran Wenyu was almost bald: "But my speech skills only have a base value of 5! Then can I use persuasion?"

KP: [If you use persuasion, you need to pass another credit. 】

Ran Wenyu bargained: "...Can I apply for a bonus dice? I think my previous physical persuasion was very good, and Louis was completely fooled by me!"

KP: [deal. 】

KP: [Persuasion check: Ran Wenyu, 40/29, successful; credit check: 90/41, successful. 】

The voice fell, and without waiting for Ran Wenyu to be happy, KP made another secret vote.

Ran Wenyu frowned instantly: "What are you doing?!"

This time, KP was very talkative, and calmly answered Ran Wenyu's questions: [Don't worry, I just voted for Louis. 】

After the secret casting ended, Louis stared blankly at the photos displayed on the phone, and murmured softly involuntarily: "Daddy? Mommy?"

"Yes, you saw them, didn't you?" Ran Wenyu secretly sighed that this child's inspiration is really high, and he is definitely a good seedling of a cultist, with the smile of grandma wolf still on his face, "Look, are they Laughing? Are you happy?"

Louis stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the color-distorted figure on the phone. Suddenly, someone tapped on the glass window next to the two.

Both Ran Wenyu and Louis were stunned for a moment, and both turned their heads to look out the window, and found that a man stood there at some point, but one of them was concentrating on fooling the person, and the other was concentrating on being fooled, so they didn't notice the existence of the man at all.

With long golden hair, blue eyes, and a beautiful, flawless face, the man in the white shirt wore a gentle smile, retracted his slender fingers from tapping on the glass, and showed a slightly helpless expression .

Louis withdrew his hand suddenly, as if he was a child who was caught doing something bad, he was so nervous that he was at a loss, and Ran Wenyu also recognized this face that he remembered so deeply that he probably would never forget it until he died , the pupils suddenly constricted, and the brain went blank.
