Please charm this NPC

Probably because they realized that the situation was serious, the atmosphere among the investigators was very gloomy. Even if the dinner at the mayor's house was delicious, it was difficult to arouse everyone's appetite—except of course, Ran Wenyu.

Watching his guests' meals taste like nothing, Ge Zongnian showed a worried expression: "Excuse me, what happened? You seem to be preoccupied."

The investigators looked at each other and felt that it was useless for them to think wildly here, so they might as well ask their doubts directly.

"When we went out to familiarize ourselves with the town today, we went to Father Anfer's church." Augustus pondered for a moment, choosing the right words, "Father Anfer said something...very strange, and told us that if we want to To retrieve the memory, we must pray to the gods—not explicitly stated, but if I understand correctly, he seems to mean it—and invite us to attend the worship service the day after tomorrow.”

When Augustus mentioned Anfeier, Ge Zongnian frowned slightly, and this frowning movement, in the eyes of the investigators, couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

"For some reason, we always feel that the church is a bit weird, and we have no idea. Mr. Cui said that you know Father Anfeier better than him. Excuse me..." Augustus tightened his dining knife and fork nervously, "Excuse me, Can we trust Father Anfiel? Are we going to worship and pray to... the gods?"

Under the nervous gaze of the investigators, Ge Zongnian did not immediately answer Augustus' question.He lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was deep in thought, and sighed softly after a while: "Anfeier's nature is not bad, and he will not easily harm others for no reason."

After the investigators breathed a sigh of relief, Ge Zongnian suddenly changed the subject: "However, he is a fanatical believer. For his gods, he can do anything."

The breath that the investigators just exhaled was suddenly sucked back, suffocating to death.

"Then what should we do?" Augustus felt very bad, wishing he could pick up Ge Zongnian, who was out of breath, and shake him, so that he could confide everything he knew.

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't suggest that you go to church." Ge Zongnian shook his head, "But on the other hand, Anfeier may not have lied. What happened to you is unusual and very mysterious. Only by praying to the mysterious gods can the current predicament be solved—it’s just that there is danger in it.”

"...Have you attended church?" Ran Wenyu saw that his companions were struggling again, and asked this question again.

Ge Zongnian turned his head and looked at Ran Wenyu who was sitting next to him, his expression softened at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Yes, I have been there to learn about Father Anfeier and his church."

"The result?" Ran Wenyu's eyes lit up.

"As a result..." Ge Zongqing sighed, "As a result, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Fortunately, I was prepared and learned a lot of self-protection methods, so I regained my senses." He raised his hand and covered Ran Wenyu. Gently patted on the shoulder, Ge Zongnian said earnestly, "This is why I don't recommend you to go to worship. God exists and is great. He can easily solve any problems of believers, but the premise is that believers In the face of indescribable gods, you can still maintain your self and consciousness."

Ge Zongnian's palms were broad and warm, and when placed on his shoulders, it gave people a heavy sense of security.He observed Ran Wenyu's expression, and found that the other party was not as disturbed and panicked as other investigators, so he smiled slightly, put his hands back, and continued to eat gracefully.

Then, the dinner table was once again silent.Ge Zongnian had already given his own suggestion, and the investigators didn't know what else to ask, so they could only eat their dinner quietly while brainstorming wildly.

After dinner, Ge Zongnian went to the study to continue looking for books about amnesia travelers for the investigators, and the investigators got together again and started a discussion.

"According to the mayor, praying to the gods is indeed a way to clear the level, but the premise is that we need to find a way to protect ourselves from the gods." Augustus was the first to speak.

"Facing the great God of Cthulhu, if Sancheck succeeds, sanity will be reduced by 1D10, and if it fails, it will reduce 1D100. Unless the Emperor is possessed, he will almost certainly be insane. The difference is only temporary madness, indefinite madness, and permanent madness." Liang Yu Shrugging his shoulders, "This kind of sancheck is a module rule, even if we find some props, it can't be changed, right?"

"Also, I have an idea." Liu Maojin said slowly, "Mayor, is he really worthy of our trust?"

When this question was asked, the investigators were stunned for a moment.

"We don't know anything about this town and the townspeople. At first we trusted the mayor because the hunter who brought us to the town said we could trust him." Liu Maojin sighed, "But the hunter... ...also believable?"

"I think... it should be credible?" Liu Qianqian replied in a low voice. This is the first time she actively participated in the discussion. "I know that Cui Zheng. In the last module, although we were on opposite sides, I can be sure. He is a good man, and he is very dedicated to helping the investigators investigate, even at the risk of taking risks himself. He has a good relationship with the mayor, so the mayor should also be credible." Having said that, she looked at Ran Wenyu with a look in her eyes Looking for affirmation, "Isn't that right, Brother Ran? You got very close to Cui Zheng in the last mod, and you should know him better."

Ran Wenyu nodded towards Liu Qianqian: "Cui Zheng is indeed a person with a sense of justice. Moreover, Abler should also be credible. I have also met this NPC. He is taciturn, but he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and his mind is very simple."

Hearing what Ran Wenyu said, Augustus suddenly thought of something, narrowed his eyes slightly, and examined him: "Have you met Ge Zongnian in other modules?"

Finally someone realized the problem, Ran Wenyu shrugged his shoulders: "Yes, he used to be my teacher, and he taught me most of the magic that I possess, so I really trust him."

"Looking at it this way, you know all the NPCs that have come into contact with us, whether they are cats or humans, just like you know all the investigators." Augustus looked complicated, "Sure enough, you have question."

Hearing what Augustus said, the rest of the investigators cast their eyes on Ran Wenyu one after another, their eyes were very strange.

The old man was almost exposed, but Ran Wenyu was on the safe side—after all, he was a man who had been tested by the boss, and no one could see through his acting skills except his deceitful ancestors like Asham.

Ran Wenyu's eyes were blank, and there was a bit of grievance in his big eyes: "You doubt me?"

Liang Yu couldn't bear Ran Wenyu's showing of weakness, and quickly sat beside him and put his arms around his shoulders: "Xiao Ran, don't be sad, I believe in you. In the last module, you pretended to be a girl to make me feel at ease." The child accompanied me on an adventure as a sacrifice, I will remember your kindness."

"I also believe in Brother Ran." Liu Qianqian echoed in a low voice, "In the previous module, at the end, Brother Ran could have been alone and waited to form a group, but he was willing to take risks in order to rescue his teammates who were captured by Xia En. I couldn’t even do this. Although I was on the other side at the time, I still admire Brother Ran’s choice.”

The two girls expressed their views like this, and seeing Ran Wenyu's pitiful appearance, Augustus was also a little embarrassed.

The module that the two experienced together, although the ending collapsed, he and Ran Wenyu worked very happily. Ran Wenyu had no reservations about him. In the end, he tried to help him when he was taken away by the sheriff, which is considered very good partner now.

"That's not what I meant." Augustus coughed lightly, trying to redeem himself, "I said you have a problem, but I didn't mean that you wanted to harm us."

"Okay, Xiao Ran, everyone didn't doubt your intentions, so don't worry." Liu Maojin laughed and rubbed Ran Wenyu's curly hair.

Seeing the performance of his teammates, Ran Wenyu finally smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.

Ran Wenyu's status in this module is indeed special. Even if he keeps it secret, there is a high possibility that his teammates will notice his familiarity with various NPCs and arouse the vigilance of his teammates.

If the teammate and Ran Wenyu are strangers and there is no trust in each other, then Ran Wenyu will definitely be suspected and rejected, the game experience will be very bad, and KP's plan to make people happy will be counterproductive.

And Ran Wenyu's current teammates, regardless of the depth of friendship, are all partners who have worked together with him to complete the module. They understand each other's temperament quite well and have established a certain foundation of trust.Even if Ran Wenyu is exposed, it is very likely that he will be forgiven.

Liang Yu is Ran Wenyu's first teammate, and the "first time" is always impressive.The two innocent newcomers can easily talk to each other, and Liang Yu is a gentle and emotional girl. When encountering problems, she will instinctively side with Ran Wenyu, whom she is most familiar with.

Augustus and Ran Wenyu played a two-player module, and the two investigators hugged each other in a dangerous module to keep warm, and their relationship was deeper than that of a multiplayer module.What's more, Augustus is quite a gentleman, and Ran Wenyu, who has a good face and a thin figure, is not much different from a girl who needs protection and pity in his heart. Once the two conflict, without endangering himself, Augustus must be the one to compromise.

Liu Maojin was born as a policeman, and his heart is upright.As the only person who knew about his past, Liu Maojin had a natural sense of intimacy with Ran Wenyu, as if it was easier to become friends after sharing a little secret.More importantly, Ran Wenyu's baby face naturally pleases the elders, Liu Maojin can think of his son when he sees him, and instinctively wants to protect him.

As for Liu Qianqian, although she has old grievances with Ran Wenyu, she is very calm and knows how to assess the situation.She is good at hiding her own thoughts, better at observing words and emotions, and knowing what to do is best for her.As long as most of her teammates express their trust in Ran Wenyu, then she will definitely show kindness to Ran Wenyu in order to follow the trend and integrate into the team.

In this way, soon, a storm disappeared invisible.After completely confessing, as long as Ran Wenyu doesn't really do anything to hurt his teammates, then the teammates will no longer doubt him for this reason.Ran Wenyu can speak freely without reservation.

In fact, Ran Wenyu has never tried to hide his friendship with these NPCs. After all, these teammates of his all know an NPC, and he has "deep feelings" with all the NPCs they know. their suspicions.

Instead of covering up in vain, it is better to admit it openly, and it is easier to gain the trust of others.As early as he realized that the "playmates" that KP had captured for him were all familiar faces, Ran Wenyu understood KP's intentions and knew that he was creating conditions for his confession.

Turning his head slightly, looking at KP who was sitting on the single sofa not far away, looking at him with a smile, Ran Wenyu blushed slightly, feeling a little happy in his heart.

The rest of the investigators didn't notice the eye contact between Ran Wenyu and KP.Liang Yu took out her notebook again and listed all the NPCs she had encountered so far.

"According to Xiao Ran's judgment, Abu Le, Ge Zongnian, and Cui Zheng are trustworthy." Liang Yu ticked off these three names, and then moved the tip of the pen to the other two names, drawing a question mark, " As for the doctor and Anfeier, friends and foes are unknown, so you need to be extra cautious when contacting them."

"There's also that black cat." Ran Wenyu reminded, "Although the black cat doesn't have many roles at the moment, it still needs to pay attention and draw a question mark."

"...Okay." Liang Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and she also listed the black cat in the list.

"Fortunately, Xiao Ran has had contact with these NPCs, otherwise, judging who can believe and who can't will be enough for us to have a headache." Liu Maojin sighed with a smile.

"But we can't completely copy these inherent impressions. After all, this module is completely different from other modules we have experienced before. It is placed in different environments, has different identities, and is in a different position. The good and evil of NPCs are also possible. Changes will happen," Augustus reminded.

"You're right." Liu Maojin nodded in agreement, "So, even the NPCs we've judged to be trustworthy can't give you [-]% trust."

"Then, the problem we are facing now is Sunday the day after tomorrow." Liang Yu circled Anfeier's name.

"Before Sunday, we still have one day to prepare." Augustus mused, "We still know too little about this town. I suggest that we split up tomorrow and try to find more clue."

"A team of two? Is there one less person?" Ran Wenyu raised his hand, wondering.

"Go and act with Cui Zheng." Augustus was not polite, "Cui Zheng is very talkative in front of you, and you can easily get news that we can't get."

Ran Wenyu was a little speechless: "You are not afraid to let me go out alone, I will set a trap for you?"

"Not afraid." Augustus raised his eyebrows, teasing and teasing, "As far as these NPCs' unusual 'old friendship' with you and their friendly attitude towards you now, as long as you charm them casually, they will definitely say nothing It is said that you have cheated us for you, and it is impossible to guard against it, so it is better to let you grow freely."

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

"Actually, maybe letting you charm all these NPCs is also a way to pass the level." Augustus shrugged.

Ran Wenyu silently picked up the cushion of the sofa and covered Augustus's face.
