Please charm this NPC

Slipping all the way back to the mayor's mansion, until he plunged into the bushes in the garden, Ran Wenyu was slightly relieved, feeling that he had finally escaped alive - and the next second, he felt that he was crushed Something cool, and a tongue came over and licked his stunned ear, which was trying to listen to the surrounding movement.

Ran Wenyu froze for a moment, then frowned, thinking that the black cat was chasing him.With a stern "meow", he jumped up with his body bowed, just about to give the opponent a set of meow meow punches to show his steadfastness, but found that the one attacking him was not a black cat, but a...transparent cat?

"...Meow?" Ran Wenyu asked, tilting his head.

The transparent cat approached him two steps, and rubbed the tip of his nose affectionately: [Mi~]

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

Ran Wenyu pulled the transparent cat's head aside in distaste, and the curly hair that blew up also smoothed back: "Meow meow!"

The transparent cat felt a little regretful, but still raised its paw and pressed on Ran Wenyu's forehead, giving him the ability to speak human words.

Ran Wenyu, who finally didn't need Mimi to meow to express his wishes, let out a long sigh of relief: "What kind of bad taste are you doing?"

KP moved his beard: [Because your meowing voice is so cute. 】

Ran Wenyu's cat face was blank: "...I don't mean you can only meow after you become a cat, but...how did you become a cat too?"

KP chuckled: [Cooperate with you~ I see you playing around with the black cat, it's very interesting. 】So saying, he jumped lightly, and accurately threw himself on Ran Wenyu, grabbing the nape of his neck, 【Come to play? 】

Ran Wenyu, who just escaped from the black cat's nest, but fell into KP's claws: "...No!!!!!!"

Just when Ran Wenyu was desperately defending his chastity in front of the evil forces, Ge Zongnian's mansion was also in chaos. The reason, of course, was that the investigators finally discovered the disappearance of his little friend belatedly.

Since Ran Wenyu went back to his room with grilled fish to abduct (?) the black cat, the investigators didn’t bother him. When it was time for dinner, even when Augustus returned to the mansion, there was still no news from Ran Wenyu’s room. Only then did the investigators realize that something was unusual.

Liang Yu tried to knock on Ran Wenyu's door, but there was no response from inside. She simply turned the doorknob carefully, pushed the door open, and was horrified to find that there was no one in the room.

There was no Ran Wenyu, no black cat, only two leftover fish bones, which showed that Ran Wenyu and the black cat had indeed stayed here.

To be honest, in the Cthulhu module, it is never good news for a person to disappear suddenly. In all likelihood, it is more ominous than good news, and Ran Wenyu is undoubtedly the core character of this module. Once something goes wrong with him, The remaining investigators must be caught blind.

On the one hand, they were worried about Ran Wenyu, and on the other hand, they were also worried about themselves. The investigators immediately exploded, and the noisy voices also attracted Ge Zongnian.

Excluding those things that cannot be said, the investigators described to Ge Zongnian in detail that the grilled fish by the stream attracted the black cat, the black cat and Ran Wenyu "got close at first sight", and Ran Wenyu brought the black cat back to the room to feed the grilled fish.Since Ran Wenyu had been staying with the black cat before, the investigators hardly thought much about it, and believed that his disappearance was related to the black cat.

After discussing in a hurry for a while, everyone planned to go to the black cat's cat's den to check the situation.And Ge Zongnian also looked solemn, and immediately expressed his willingness to help them find Ran Wenyu.

The two parties split up. Ge Zongnian went to make a phone call, contacted his contacts and searched the entire town, while the investigators left the mayor's mansion.

To everyone's surprise, when they came to the gate in a hurry, Liang Yu pointed out suddenly, "Look! It's a black cat!"

Everyone heard the prestige and looked around, and saw a small black dumpling with messy fur lying on the grass panting rapidly, as if it had just experienced a century war.Noticing the investigators, it turned its head, the face of the fluffy cat was full of lovelessness.

"...Is this the cat we're looking for?" Liu Qianqian asked with some uncertainty, "It feels... something is wrong? It shouldn't be a curly-haired cat, right?"

"...It is true that there are no curly cats, and the eyes are not black." Liang Yu, who had just seen a black cat today, affirmed, "Could it be that there are two black cats in this small town?"

In short, the black cat that suddenly appeared here must not be a coincidence.The investigators quickly surrounded it, but never thought that this little thing was extra vigilant, and immediately changed from lying down to standing up.As if feeling the malice from the crowd, the curly-haired cat glanced at them with its dark eyes, then flicked its tail, and got into the bushes.

"What to do? It ran away!" Liang Yu was a little anxious.

"This cat must be related to that black cat. Let's follow up and catch it!" Augustus immediately replied, and the other investigators also quickly followed, not daring to let go of any trace of potential danger. The possibility of finding Ran Wenyu.

The curly-haired black cat ran in front. It was petite, but its speed was really agile.From time to time, the curly cat would stop and turn to look at the investigators, as if to be provocative and to confirm whether they could keep up.

After running for a short distance on the main road, the curly-haired black cat got into the alley, leading the investigators to turn left and right in a maze-like, rarely-traveled alley.

Before the investigators were completely knocked out, it finally stopped and squatted obediently in the alley.

Finding that the curly-haired black cat seemed to be deliberately luring him to a secluded place, the investigators all raised their vigilance. Even though the curly-haired cat did not show any intention of attacking, they were still cautious and did not dare to approach it.Liu Maojin even took out the dagger he had brought along from Abler's house, ready to enter the battle round.

Ran Wenyu felt a little helpless when he saw the faces of his friends as if they were facing a formidable enemy.He swung his tail and said clearly, "Don't worry, it's me."

The curly-haired black cat suddenly spit out human words, which really startled the investigators.But soon, they realized that the voice was extremely familiar.

"...Xiao Ran?" Liang Yu asked uncertainly.

"It's me." Ran Wenyu nodded the cat's head, his voice helpless, "Uncle Liu, put down the knife quickly, it's a bit creepy for you to face me like this."

Liu Maojin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but quickly put away the dagger: "Why did you become a cat?"

"In order to repay the grilled fish I fed, that black cat taught me a transformation magic 'Golgros Body Distortion Technique'." Ran Wenyu shook the messy hair that was ravaged by KP, "I tried to use magic to change I became a cat, and followed the black cat to the cat's den to find the seal. Because of the urgent time, I really didn't have the chance to inform you, sorry."

After hearing Ran Wenyu's explanation, the investigators breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are so adventurous. You go to the cat's kennel alone and don't tell us. Let us take care of you when something goes wrong." Liang Yu knelt down and carefully helped Ran Wenyu tidy up his messy fur, with a full tone of voice. It's kindness and pity, "Why did you make yourself look like this?"

——Obviously, even though she knew that the kitten in front of her was Ran Wenyu, the girl still couldn't help but love such a cute thing.

Ran Wenyu was choked up by Liang Yu's question.Can he say that his messy hair is KP's masterpiece?That bastard pressed himself under his body and licked it over and over again, without any sense of shame!

Silently suppressing this dark history in his heart, Ran Wenyu decisively chose to throw the blame on the black cat, anyway, it was indeed the culprit that lured KP to discover the pleasure of licking fur.

"It's all done by the black cat!" Ran Wenyu squatted, and slapped the ground with his tail forcefully, gnashing his teeth in an undisguised tone, "In the beginning, I got along well with the black cat. After it was about to leave, what kind of cat disease did it have? It chased me, pressed and bit me, it was so frightening!"

Hearing what Ran Wenyu said, Liang Yu suddenly showed a worried expression, carefully checking whether Ran Wenyu was injured, while Liu Qianqian, who had a cat owner at home, showed a somewhat subtle expression, a little hesitant to speak, but In the end, he swallowed the words back, so as not to irritate Ran Wenyu, who was already a little furious.

"Speaking of which, can you change back?" Augustus asked.

"Yes, just use the 'Golgros Body Distortion Technique' again." Ran Wenyu tilted his head, "But I don't plan to do this for the time being. This magic consumption is a bit expensive, and more importantly, every time you use it, It is necessary to deduct 2D6 of sanity, and it is easy to fall into temporary madness, which is too dangerous."

"Since it's so dangerous, how dare you try it without saying a word?" Liu Maojin frowned, disapproving of Ran Wenyu's risky behavior.

"The opportunity is never to be missed, and it won't come again." Ran Wenyu is a bachelor, "You are all outside, if I go crazy, you will definitely find out and control me, I am not too worried. And temporary crazy or something, the symptoms are those few In this way, it lasts for 10 hours at most, and no one can die.”

——The most important thing is that Ran Wenyu knows that with KP around, his personal safety is still guaranteed.It can be said that in the module, the only threat to him is KP himself.

Thinking of this, Ran Wenyu turned his head away, and glanced at KP who was still in the form of a cat, with a fierce look in his eyes.

KP tilted his head innocently: [... Meow~]

"Since it's so dangerous, you really shouldn't change back to human form. After all, you still need to use the cat form when breaking the seal." Augustus nodded, "Have you found the seal of the cat's nest?"

"I found it~" Ran Wenyu raised his chin proudly, "It's a small ball hanging on the top of the cat climbing frame. I tested the black cat's attitude towards the seal and found that it doesn't seem to care, so I think... …We might be able to replace the seal with a fake one after breaking the seal, just to fool around for now."

Having said that, Ran Wenyu described the shape of the cat's nest seal in detail.If the black cat really doesn't care about the seal, as long as they get a fake seal with a similar shape and hang it in the old place, maybe they can really trick the black cat.

"It doesn't seem too difficult to make a fake seal." After listening to Ran Wenyu's description, Liang Yu was thoughtful.

"Then let's do it." Liu Maojin nodded in agreement, "Although I don't know how likely it is to deceive the black cat, but it's better than nothing. Let's make a fake seal, at least we have a chance to delay being discovered. And if you directly destroy the seal without doing anything, it will be discovered almost [-]% very quickly."

After discussing in this way, the investigators quickly began to divide and cooperate.Augustus was in charge of getting the white table tennis balls and red paint; two girls, Liu Qianqian and Liang Yu, were in charge of drawing patterns on the table tennis balls with red paint—by the way, Liu Qianqian and Liu Maojin also managed to find the Abler’s house I have seen the specific appearance of the seal pattern with my own eyes; as for Liu Maojin, he is a little carpenter, responsible for making small wooden sticks, piercing the wooden sticks through the table tennis balls, drilling holes, and attaching hanging wires.

"The question now is, how should we explain to the mayor that Brother Ran turned into a cat." Liu Qianqian frowned, a little annoyed, "The mayor cares about Brother Ran very much, if he doesn't explain well, maybe he will do something Something that disrupts our plans."

"How about we tell him the truth?" Liang Yu hesitated.

"No, don't tell him." Ran Wenyu vetoed without hesitation, "I think it's good for me to be a missing person."

"What? Are you afraid of being hugged and held high by the mayor after becoming a cat?" Augustus teased.

Ran Wenyu glared at him, but it was a pity that the cat's round eyes combined with the fluffy cat face had no deterrent effect: "It's not because of this!"

Although Ran Wenyu is not the kind of far-sighted person, he does not act impulsively. At the very least, he will consider what will happen after his actions and how it will end.

After successfully turning into a cat, Ran Wenyu has no intention of turning back into a human form in a short time.One is because he has to break the seal of the cat nest in the form of a cat, and the other is because after becoming a cat, his actions can be more free and concealed.

The size of cats is much smaller than that of humans, making it easier to hide their whereabouts. Moreover, cats are flexible and naturally good at sneaking, and can easily sneak into many places that humans cannot enter.

In this eerie town full of dangerous monsters, it is "normal" for one or two people to go missing, not to mention that the investigators are outsiders, and there is no security—so anyone captured by Ran Wenyu Successful NPCs will express their willingness to protect him.

Once Ran Wenyu disappears, it is very likely that he will be judged to be in danger, or even die, and all his actions will turn from bright to dark.As long as the other investigators are outside to attract the attention of the townspeople, Ran Wenyu has enough opportunities to sneak into the sealed location.And even if someone finds that the seal has been broken, once the investigators have an irreproachable alibi, the townspeople will not be able to identify them for no reason—after all, in this town, there are people like Lilith and the doctor The existence of the "imprisonment faction" on the side of Father Milk is enough to help investigators confuse the public.

After hearing Ran Wenyu's explanation, the investigators all felt that this development was indeed good. Ran Wenyu who turned into a cat was indeed more useful than him who returned to human form.

"Okay, then we will pretend that you are indeed missing." Augustus nodded, "You are outside alone, no, a cat, is that okay?"

"No problem, just remember to bring me some food and put it in the bushes of the mayor's mansion." Ran Wenyu was very confident, "I will hide myself well."

"Thank you for your hard work." Liang Yu patted Ran Wenyu's head pitifully, with a concerned expression.

KP walked gracefully on a catwalk, walked to Ran Wenyu's side quietly, rubbed his neck happily, his cat's eyes were burning.

Ran Wenyu froze, and suddenly doubted his previous decision—in fact, there is nothing wrong with taking the risk of turning back into a human, he is really, really, and he doesn't want to be licked by KP anymore!
