Please charm this NPC

As they walked forward, they chatted casually. Not long after, a towering church appeared in everyone's sight.

The church is majestic and magnificent, giving people a great sense of oppression, and it immediately attracts everyone's attention.The investigators looked at each other, instinctively feeling that this is a very important place.

"Is this the church in the town?" Augustus stopped and asked knowingly.

Anyway, Augustus is also APP80's handsome guy, barely able to catch Cui Zheng's eyes.He finally looked away from Ran Wenyu and nodded casually.

"Can we go in and have a look?" Augustus showed some anticipation, "When will the worship be held here?"

Cui Zheng frowned slightly: "To be honest, I don't suggest you go to church."

Cui Zheng's tone told a story.The investigators were shaken and wanted to drill into the church even more—after all, the more dangerous the place, the easier it is to get clues.

"Why?" Ran Wenyu asked immediately, "Is there anything wrong with this church?"

"What's the problem... I can't tell." Cui Zheng shrugged his shoulders, "I can only tell you that this church is very dangerous, and its priest is also unpredictable."

Even if Cui Zheng said so much, the investigators still chose to enter the church. After all, the existence of investigators is to run to dangerous places.Seeing how eager they were to try, Cui Zheng was a little helpless, but he didn't continue to stop him. Instead, he obeyed their wishes and led them to push open the door of the church.

The interior and exterior of this church are very similar to Christian churches, but there are no decorations such as the cross, Jesus, and the Virgin. Instead, strange patterns are carved. These patterns are irregularly distorted and have unknown meanings, but it is fascinating I felt an uncomfortable chill.

There was no one in the church, and it was silent, making the footsteps of the investigators seem to be amplified several times and very clearly.They subconsciously lowered their voices and stepped lightly, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.

"The church is so big, why is there no one there?" Augustus asked in a low voice.

"Today is not Sunday, so no townspeople will come. But the priest should be here, and he is likely to stay in the chapel." Cui Zheng replied, walking non-stop. While speaking, he had already pushed open a closed door the gate.

Behind the gate are rows and rows of wooden benches, neatly placed, thick and tall columns supporting the high dome, and sunlight pouring in from the stained glass windows on both sides, reflecting the chapel in a strange and bizarre way.At the end of the bench was a small high platform. A man in a large and flowing white robe was standing on the high platform with his back to them. Hearing the sound, he turned around and looked over.

The man has fair complexion, light lips, long platinum-blond hair flowing like a galaxy with his movements, and clear pale golden eyes that are gentle and indifferent, as if they can penetrate people's hearts, looking down on all beings like a god.

When he saw the man's face, Liu Maojin, who had always been quiet, suddenly burst into a coughing sound as if he was being choked. He quickly covered his mouth, tried to suppress the discomfort in his throat, and subconsciously shifted his gaze from the man to the man. Ran Wenyu.

Fortunately, Ran Wenyu was still stable.As early as when Cui Zheng talked about the priest of the church, he had vaguely anticipated which NPC he was about to meet, and he was not surprised at this time—after all, there is no other NPC who is more suitable for the magic stick than Anfeier. professional.

Noticing that Liu Maojin was peeping at him, Ran Wenyu turned his head to meet him, and gave him a "calm" look.

Liu Maojin felt that his old face was a little red, because he was an uncle in his 50s, and he was not as stable as a young man, not to mention that he was an outsider, and Ran Wenyu was the one who really met his "boy friend".

——Of course, Liu Maojin didn't know that Ran Wenyu had already met several "boyfriends", and he was used to it for a long time, and his heart was at peace.

Seeing Cui Zheng bring three strangers in, Anfeier showed a friendly but alienated smile, and walked down from the high platform.

"This is Father Anfeier from our town." Cui Zheng introduced to Ran Wenyu and the three, and then turned to Anfeier, "Father, these three are guests from other places, and they are currently staying at the mayor's house."

Probably because he was on guard against Anfeier, Cui Zheng did not explain the situation of Ran Wenyu and the other three losing their memories.Anfeier smiled and nodded: "Good day, three gentlemen, welcome to the church, how can I help you?"

Augustus just wanted to tell some news, but he never wanted to be slapped on the arm by Liu Maojin.After a short time of getting along, the two have quickly established a certain tacit understanding. Augustus immediately changed his words, shook his head with a smile: "Thank you, Father, we have nothing to do, just passing by. I am very curious about this church, so I want to Come in and have a look."

For Augustus's perfunctory answer, Anfeier didn't have any unnecessary reaction, he nodded lightly: "You can visit freely in the church, but there are some places marked with 'outsiders stop', please keep your distance. "

"Okay, thank you, Father." Augustus sincerely thanked him, and then changed the subject, "Excuse me, which church is dedicated to this god? This doesn't seem to be a Christian church? Nor is it a church of any religion I know. church."

The smile at the corner of Anfeier's mouth deepened a little: "This is indeed not a church of any religion you know. As for which god is enshrined, please forgive me for not being able to tell you for the time being. However, if you come to the church the day after tomorrow If you go to worship and pray devoutly to the gods, maybe you will be able to get a response from the gods and experience His incomparable great power for yourself."

Three investigators: "…………………"

"I feel that this priest is trying to trick us." Augustus turned his head and complained to his little friends, "Getting a response from the gods or something, isn't this the rhythm of going crazy?"

"But he invited us to worship at the church the day after tomorrow. Is this a clue from the module?" Liu Maojin frowned and said uncertainly, "If we don't come, we may miss a very important plot."

Augustus: "I'm not sure, I think the priest must be an important NPC, but the plot here is too dangerous - in the Cthulhu module, there is no one who has anything to do with the gods. Good thing."

Liu Maojin: "I agree with this point. I saw this NPC in the last mod. He was the high priest of the cult and the hidden boss of the mod."

Augustus: "Oh, yes, I remember you saying that name before, no wonder it sounded so familiar to me—"

Liu Maojin: "Before, Liu Qianqian seemed to have mentioned Cui Zheng—"

Speaking of this, Liu Maojin and Augustus both turned their heads to Ran Wenyu, and said in unison with gossipy faces: "Ran/Xiao Ran, what do you think?"

Ran Wenyu with an indifferent face: "I don't feel anything."

After chatting for a while, the investigators turned their attention back to the module.

"If we have time, we will visit the church on Sunday." Augustus smiled and responded to Anfeier's invitation ambiguously.

Anfeier still didn't say anything, as if he just mentioned casually just now: "I still have to prepare for the worship the day after tomorrow, so I won't accompany you, please feel free."

"Thank you." Augustus smiled, nodded politely to Anfeier and then turned to leave, while Ran Wenyu, Liu Maojin and Cui Zheng also followed behind him.

Just when Augustus held the doorknob of the chapel and just pushed it through a gap, they heard Anfeier's voice faintly, with a somewhat unreal echo: "Maybe what you are looking for , the gods can give you the answer."

Augustus paused, subconsciously turned his head to look at Anfeier, only to find that he had already walked back to the high platform, expressing with practical actions that the conversation ended here.

Augustus pushed the door open with a little force, and everyone came out in a single file, with not a very good expression on their faces.

"What did Anfeier mean in the end?" Liu Maojin frowned, "We didn't tell him anything, but he seems to know everything?"

"Sure enough, it's a magic stick. It's really good at pretending." Augustus snorted coldly.

Ran Wenyu was thoughtful: "Maybe, he does know."

"Then do we really want to come here to pray to God, and then be driven mad by the gods in his mouth?" Augustus' tone was slightly chilly.

Ran Wenyu pondered for a moment, then turned to Cui Zheng: "Mr. Cui, have you attended church?"

"Me?" Cui Zheng shrugged, "No, I'm an atheist, and I don't like this place either."

"What about the mayor?" Ran Wenyu asked, "Has the mayor been here?"

"I haven't seen him come to the church, but you have to ask him about the specific situation." Cui Zheng spread his hands, "If there is anyone in the town who knows the details of the priest best, it should be Ge Zongnian."

"Are there many religious believers in the town?" Augustus raised his eyebrows and interjected.

Cui Zheng sighed: "Many, of course there are many, atheists like me are a minority."

Ran Wenyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and hit the nail on the head: "Then they all believe in the same god?"

For this question, Cui Zheng did not answer, but showed a subtle smile.But the meaning of this smile is self-evident.

The church was empty, except for those weird decorations, there wasn’t much to pay attention to, and the investigators who had just arrived hadn’t just arrived to sneak into the place marked “No Outsiders” to investigate, so even in the church Walked around in the middle, and there is nothing else to gain.

After leaving the church, it was getting late.Cui Zheng said that he was going to prepare for the bar to open, and the tour of the town had to come to an end temporarily.After sending them to the gate of the mayor's mansion, Cui Zheng simply said goodbye and left, and hurriedly disappeared into the gradually darkening street corner with brisk steps.

Ge Zongnian's mansion was already brightly lit. When Ran Wenyu and the others came to the living room, they found that Liu Qianqian and Liang Yu were already waiting for them. They were each paralyzed on a sofa, their bodies hollowed out and numb.

"What's the matter? Didn't you follow Ge Zongnian to find books? How did you become like this?" Liu Maojin was a little amused.

Liu Qianqian closed her eyes unrequitedly, while Liang Yu scratched her hair: "Uncle, do you know how big Ge Zongnian's study is?!"

"How old is it?" Liu Maojin asked curiously.

"At least eighty square meters, two floors high! Every bookshelf is packed to the brim!" Liang Yu broke down, "When Qianqian and I entered the study, we were so stunned! This is not called a study at all. , It’s called a library! Finding a book from such a vast collection of books is like finding a needle in a haystack! It’s an impossible task!”

Hearing Liang Yu's complaints, the three men—oh, no, except Ran Wenyu—were all taken aback. With a little imagination, they could empathize with the girls' pain.

"Qianqian and I tried to try our luck. We passed the library skills and luck, but failed. We could only search manually in the general area marked by Ge Zongnian, and our eyes were blurred." Liang Yu sighed for a long time, " I feel like I don’t even know how to read.”

The men looked at her sympathetically, trying to express their relief with their eyes.

"I think we should leave it to Ge Zongnian to find the book." Liang Yu said the key point, "I have discussed it with Qianqian, and I plan to go out with you to investigate tomorrow."

"Okay." Augustus nodded. Being a gentleman, he didn't intend to embarrass the two poor ladies who were almost driven crazy by books.

"What about you? Did you gain anything today?" Liu Qianqian cheered up, sat up straight, and asked.

The investigators sat down on the sofa together and chatted about the church they were most concerned about.

No matter from which point of view, the church is undoubtedly suspicious.According to Liu Maojin, the priest in the church is a hidden boss of a certain module, which is doubtful.And in this module, he is also very mysterious, as if he has foreseen everything, and the suggestion he gives to pray to the gods is like a clue, but also more like a trap.

The investigators couldn't figure out why, and finally kicked the ball to Ran Wenyu.Liu Maojin sighed: "Xiao Ran, what do you think? You had the most contact with Anfeier in the last module, so you should know him best?"

"...It's hard to say." Ran Wenyu shook his head, at this time, he didn't intend to hide his intersection with Anfeier any more, "Anfeier and I have met two modules, the first module, we It’s the enemy, the second module, but we are companions. From the standpoint of a companion, Anfiel is indeed very trustworthy, but when I became his enemy, I was tossed so badly that I was even wiped out by him in the end Self-awareness has become a puppet that can only obey his orders."

Hearing what Ran Wenyu said, the investigators showed uneasy expressions.

"I'm now... definitely not with Anfeier." Liu Qianqian whispered, "Could he be the boss of this module, the culprit who brought us here?"

"It doesn't have to be him, there are many bosses in this mod." Ran Wenyu shook his head again, "For example, the doctor who treated my foot injury, I met him twice, he is the mastermind behind the mod. And That black cat, he is barely a BOSS—this is just what I have encountered. I believe that there are many townspeople that we have not met or understood, and they are also various BOSS. For example..." Ran Wenyu looked at Augustus with pity, "For example, Arthur, who hasn't appeared yet, I'm sure he is also in this module in all likelihood."

The corner of Augustus' mouth twitched, and his complexion turned dark.

The investigators fell silent, it was the first time that they were so clearly aware of the dangers in this mod.

——There is only one boss module, and they have been tossed miserably, but now they are thrown into the boss headquarters.
