Please charm this NPC

According to Ran Wenyu's guess, during the afternoon activities, the investigators were divided into two groups.Augustus, who is good at negotiating skills, and two more careful girls are in charge of wandering around the town at will, hanging out the little loli, and probing the other party's purpose, but still brooding over the "bar fight incident" last night Ran Wenyu and Liu Maojin, who has the highest investigative skills, went to the first place where the incident happened to search for clues.

——In fact, if they go to the clinic to search for the secret ward, they will definitely get more clues, but after all, the doctor is a man who has left a heavy psychological shadow on Ran Wenyu. Compared with doctors, Yan Kong Cui Zheng is much more amiable. Although there are not many clues to be found in the bar, at least the security is relatively high.

After lunch, the investigators split up again. Ran Wenyu and Liu Maojin went straight to the bar, and this time, they finally saw Cui Zheng who was standing in a mess and worried.

Ran Wenyu's eyes lit up, he walked to the bar, raised his index finger, and knocked on the glass of the bar.

Hearing the noise, Cui Zheng turned his head sideways, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Ran Wenyu, and then showed a pleasant smile.

Take two quick steps and call for Ran Wenyu. Cui Zheng's tone is very happy: "Wenyu, why are you here?"

"I came here once this morning." Ran Wenyu blinked his eyes, and said sweetly, "I heard that there was a fight in your bar. I was a little worried, so I came to have a look, but there was no one in the bar, and there was no one in the bar." It was very messy and made me worry about you even more, so I came here again in the afternoon."

Knowing that he was so missed by Ran Wenyu, Cui Zheng was so flattered that he was at a loss, like a licking dog that finally got a response from the goddess.He hurriedly invited Ran Wenyu in, turned his head and saw his messy bar, and immediately felt another headache.

"I'm fine and I'm not injured. Don't worry, the customers who fought have already paid for all the losses in the store." Cui Zheng managed to find a chair that was still intact, asked Ran Wenyu to sit down, and then helped him to sit down. I drank a glass of orange juice, "It's just that the store is too messy to treat you well, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." Ran Wenyu took a sip of orange juice, showing a cute smile, "Anyway, I don't have anything important to do in the afternoon, so let me and my companion help you tidy up the bar." So saying, he looked again Around, sighed, "The bar is in such a mess, if you are alone, you probably won't be able to clean it up in an afternoon."

Seeing the kind and enthusiastic cutie, Cui Zheng's heart was moved shamefully.Firstly, he was really too busy, so in order not to delay the business at night, he must spend money to hire someone to help; secondly, he really wanted to spend more time with Ran Wenyu.

Almost without hesitation, Cui Zheng nodded happily: "Okay, thank you for your help!" After a pause, he finally saw Liu Maojin who had never had any sense of existence. For the sake of understanding, "Thank you also for your companion."

Liu Maojin, who has no name at all in this conversation: "……………………"

Now that they said they wanted to help, Ran Wenyu and Liu Maojin could move freely in the bar.The two picked up the cleaning tool that Cui Zheng handed over, and pretended to be walking around, cleaning up the broken glass on the ground while looking for any suspicious clues.

The most obvious suspicious point must be the pile of unknown liquid on the ground, but unfortunately neither Ran Wenyu nor Liu Maojin knew what it was, nor did they have the skills to test it.

After taking two pictures of those liquids, Ran Wenyu hesitated for a moment, searched all over his pockets but found nothing, and could only turn to Liu Maojin: "Uncle Liu, do you have something like a handkerchief?"

Liu Maojin was a little strange, and also searched for his belongings, then shook his head—two big men, what handkerchiefs are they wearing!

In desperation, Ran Wenyu turned out his jacket pocket and motioned to Liu Maojin: "Uncle Liu, you are very strong, can you tear off the lining of the pocket for me?"

Liu Maojin was a little hesitant: "I don't know if it can be done..."

KP: [If you want to tear off the pocket lining, please ask investigator Liu Maojin to pass a strength check with normal difficulty. 】

Liu Maojin turned the turntable.

KP: [Strength check: Liu Maojin, 75/43, successful. 】

After succeeding in the strength test, Liu Maojin easily tore off the pocket lining and handed it back to Ran Wenyu.Ran Wenyu squatted down immediately, and wiped vigorously on the largest pool of liquid that hadn't completely dried up with this piece of cloth, trying to let as much liquid as possible stain the cloth without directly contacting the liquid.

After finishing, he carefully folded the pocket lining and put it in another pocket.

"We showed the photos and samples to Sister Liang Yu. She has skills and might be able to determine what kind of liquid it is." Ran Wenyu explained.

With the liquid on the ground resolved, investigators turned their attention to the walls.Liu Maojin raised his hand, touched the inconspicuous marks on the wall, and then touched something similar to what was left after the glue dried up.

"Is it a tentacle?" Ran Wenyu leaned beside him, guessing softly.

Liu Maojin frowned slightly: "KP, can I pass the investigation on the marks on the wall?"

KP: [Detection check: Liu Maojin, 70/51, successful.You can tell that the traces on the wall seem to be made by some thick strips. 】

After getting KP's answer, Liu Maojin and Ran Wenyu looked at each other.

"The fight in the bar last night was definitely not an ordinary human being. The sound I heard in the clinic today was like a tentacle whipping on the wall, which was exactly the same as this one." Ran Wenyu lowered his voice, his tone was affirmative.

"If our guess is correct, then I'm glad we missed last night's plot." Liu Maojin smiled wryly, "Two non-human beings fought and destroyed the bar like this. If we were there, there are nine out of ten reasons There's no way to get out of it."

The two investigators were both happy and scared, Ran Wenyu asked Liu Maojin to look for other clues, and he moved to Cui Zheng's side, pretending to be casual: "The bar has become like this, the fight must have been fierce last night ?”

Cui Zheng was tidying up the half-collapsed wine cabinet, and heaved a long sigh: "These guys... I'm used to it."

"Do guests often fight?" Ran Wenyu asked.

"Most customers are still very restrained, but it is inevitable that there will be a few thorns, and they will be out of control when they collide." Cui Zheng shrugged his shoulders, "If all the customers were like this, my bar would not be able to open long ago gone."

Ran Wenyu nodded thoughtfully.

According to his understanding of the important NPCs in the module, most of the NPCs have more or less contact with each other, and the relationship is relatively friendly. Enemies who fell in love and killed each other, and Ran Wenyu still had a fresh memory of Anfeier's tentacles.

"Is it Father Anfeier?" Ran Wenyu asked tentatively.

"What?" Cui Zheng froze for a moment.

"The guest who fought last night was Father Anfeier?" Ran Wenyu said a little more clearly.

Cui Zheng laughed, and shook his head helplessly: "How did you know that Father Anfeier would fight? He doesn't even come to the bar!"

Ran Wenyu, who guessed wrong, scratched his hair in embarrassment: "Isn't it? Sorry, I don't know why I suddenly thought of the priest."

Regarding Ran Wenyu's explanation full of loopholes, Cui Zheng didn't ask further: "Although Father Anfeier is eccentric, he has a pretty good temper. As long as he doesn't disrespect his god, there will be no problem. Speaking of it, It was thanks to Father Anfeier that the two guests stopped fighting yesterday."

"Father Anfeier was there last night?" Ran Wenyu's eyes widened. "Didn't you say that the priest won't come to the bar?"

"Of course the priest wouldn't come to the bar to drink." Cui Zheng laughed, "But after the customers got into a fight, the priest happened to pass by, helped me deal with them, and even sent them to the clinic himself."

"The priest is quite a nice person." Ran Wenyu praised the situation, "These two drunk guests are really lethal. When I looked through the glass to check the situation in the bar in the morning, I thought there had been two groups of people inside. Gathering crowds to fight!"

"Drunk people, they don't care about fights like this. It's not a big deal for other guests to watch the fun, and it's okay to stand on the sidelines indifferently. There are still many booing and applauding, adding fuel to the fire." Cui Zheng said again Once showed a headache expression.

"The priest is very powerful, and he can stop the two of them under such circumstances." Ran Wenyu tentatively touched the restricted area, "He looks weak, but is he so good at it?"

Cui Zheng curled his lips: "The priest's prestige in the town is quite high, especially the townspeople who have faith in gods respect him very much, so he can be regarded as convincing people with virtue."

Cui Zheng's tone and expression were quite natural. Ran Wenyu and Liu Maojin didn't know psychology, so they couldn't judge whether he was lying or concealing.At this moment, Ran Wenyu remembered that Cui Zheng is also a school of acting, as long as he is not willing, no one can see through his disguise.

After hesitating for a moment, Ran Wenyu finally did not spread out the marks left by the tentacles beating the wall and the mysterious liquid on the ground, and put them in front of Cui Zheng to question. After all, this is an NPC that is rarely friendly to them, and Ran Wenyu did not want to mess up the relationship between the two parties. Too bad.

Although the cliché was unsuccessful, at least they got some news. Afterwards, Ran Wenyu and Liu Maojin did not find any other useful clues, and Anan helped Cui Zheng clean the bar.

"Thank you for your help." Looking at the newly cleaned bar, Cui Zheng was in a better mood, and his attitude towards Ran Wenyu was more enthusiastic, and he no longer ignored Liu Maojin who was not up to standard.He took out a bottle of wine from nowhere as a thank-you gift, and the investigators did not refuse.

"Where are the destroyed tables, chairs and cabinets?" Ran Wenyu asked after looking at the bar, which seemed a little empty because too many things had been cleaned out.

"I have pre-booked new tables and chairs, and they will be delivered right away, so you don't have to worry." Cui Zheng said with a smile, "It's been a hard day today, so go back and have a good rest. This bottle of wine is brewed by myself. It's very good, please try it."

"Okay, we will." Ran Wenyu looked at the wine in his hand, nodded in response, and was sent out of the bar by Cui Zheng together with Liu Maojin.

It was getting late, and the two investigators didn't go to other places, but went straight back to the mayor's house. Liu Maojin rubbed his sore waist and sighed: "I cleaned the house all afternoon. I got some ambiguous clues, and I really don’t know how to deal with it tomorrow.”

"I don't know how to deal with it. We don't need to go to church." Ran Wenyu raised his wine and gestured, "Besides, we didn't get nothing."

"You mean... this wine can help us?" Liu Maojin raised his eyebrows.

"It's just a guess. Cui Zheng specifically explained that it was brewed by himself, reminding us that we must drink it, right?" Ran Wenyu shrugged his shoulders, "When I was the first model, I was given an amulet by an NPC. Then The amulet is very ordinary, and the other party bought it from a small stall at random, and I didn't take it seriously at the time. Later, this amulet helped me resist a fatal blow and saved my life."

"So, do you think this bottle of wine has the same effect as the amulet?" Liu Maojin asked in surprise, "Isn't Cui Zheng's reminder a polite word?"

"I don't know, but someone must know." Ran Wenyu blinked, "For example, our mayor."

While discussing, the two returned to the mayor's house, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Liang Yu excitedly greet him: "Xiao Ran, you really guessed right, that little girl named Lilith really came to see us! "

Ran Wenyu held the precious wine bottle firmly, signaling Liang Yu to calm down.Liang Yu pulled him and Liu Maojin to Augustus and Liu Qianqian, and the five investigators gathered together again.

"This afternoon, we didn't have a long walk in the town when that little girl appeared and asked us to play hide-and-seek with her." Liang Yu sat down on the sofa, her tone a little hasty, "But we didn't agree, after all, hide-and-seek is such a game It was a waste of time and it felt a little dangerous."

"After being rejected by us, she proposed to guess the riddle again, the same routine." Augustus curled his lips, "We felt that when she said guessing the riddle, she had a bad expression, and we didn't dare to provoke her anymore, so we agreed. "

"And then?" Ran Wenyu was very interested.

"Then, let's start guessing the riddle." Augustus spread his hands, "Lilith said that if we guess her riddle, as a reward, she will tell us a little secret."

"In order to tell us this little secret, she really worked hard." Hearing this, Ran Wenyu couldn't help complaining, and the other investigators also agreed.

"Her riddle is a bit difficult, but we finally figured it out." Liang Yu was a little proud, and then lowered her voice, mysteriously, "Then, Lilith told us that in the basement of the church, a very Beautiful little brother."

Ran Wenyu and Liu Maojin looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt on the other's face.

"Is there a person imprisoned in the basement of the church? Lilith came to us on purpose to attract us to find that person?" Liu Maojin frowned and analyzed.

"Then have you discussed it? Are you going?" Ran Wenyu asked.

"The news sent by the NPC must be useful, right?" Liang Yu hesitated, "I think we should at least check the situation."

"To be honest, I think this is more like a trap." Liu Qianqian sighed, "The place where people are locked up must be in the 'no outsiders' area. If we go to find that person, we will definitely offend Father Anfeier."

"However, if you turn a blind eye to the clues in front of you, you will always feel uneasy." Liu Maojin said, "If we don't go, we may get stuck."

"In the world of Cthulhu, danger is certain. We will not take unnecessary risks, and we cannot stop because of danger." Augustus also expressed his opinion.

"So... go take a look?" Ran Wenyu looked around at his teammates and asked.

Augustus and Liu Maojin nodded firmly, Liu Qianqian and Liang Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded accordingly.

"Since the opinions are unified, let's go and have a look tomorrow." Ran Wenyu made a final decision, "Tomorrow is Sunday, and most of the townspeople and Father Anfeier will be in the chapel. Look for the prison cellar while they worship."
