Please charm this NPC

The towering cliffs and the climbing method of just a hemp rope made everyone's complexion change drastically, and they couldn't help but start to retreat.

"...Director, this is too dangerous. Look at us..." An assistant said cautiously, looking at the female director who also didn't expect this situation and had a somewhat uneasy expression.

"What about us!" The female director raised her eyebrows, "Don't scare yourself, just be careful, and there won't be any problems! You have to be brave when making a show, so that there will be enough gimmicks and ratings after the show is broadcast. !"

The female director has a strong personality and is willing to sacrifice anything for the effect of the program. The cameraman seems to do sports a lot and doesn't worry too much about climbing down the cliff with hemp rope. As for Xu Xiangqian and the four investigators, they did not raise any objections. , The two little assistants spoke lightly and could only grit their teeth silently to cheer for themselves.

"In addition to the hemp rope, we can tie an extra rope on our body as a safety rope. In case of a mistake, someone can rescue us." Ran Wenyu suggested.

The rest of the people nodded one after another, and passed this proposal without hesitation.

Seeing that everyone made up their minds to go down, Abler snorted lightly, and he didn't know whether he was belittling them for making a fuss when they encountered such difficulty, or mocking them for not even taking their lives for the sake of the show.Then, he turned and walked towards a thick tree, wrapped one end of the hemp rope around the trunk twice, tightened it, and threw the other end down the cliff: "This tree just grows right above the entrance of the cave. If you go down, you will reach the entrance of the cave. I will go down first to explore the way, and if there is no problem, you will tie your luggage and send it down. As for how you want to go down, it is up to you to discuss."

After speaking, he glanced at the crowd, and after making sure that there was no objection, he went straight to the edge of the cliff and jumped down with the hemp rope in his hand.

Except for Cheng Yuan, who is afraid of heights, everyone was lying on the edge of the cliff, watching Abu Le fall in a very relaxed and freehand posture. In less than ten seconds, he left the sight of everyone in the last swing and fell into the entrance of the cave.

After a while, Abler's voice came from far below: "No problem, you can put your luggage!"

Abel's actions seemed to be extraordinarily easy, but the faces of everyone who watched the whole process became paler, obviously deeply aware of the gap between themselves and Abel.

In the end, it was Ran Wenyu who took the lead and tied the lighter bags of himself and Cheng Yuan with a rope: "Which one of you is stronger? I'm afraid I can't hold this rope." Ran Wenyu is quite self-aware of his own strength.

"Let me come, my strength is 70." Wu Yongtuo, who seemed to be the strongest in figure, volunteered, "...do you need to use throwing points?"

"If you think you can do it, you don't need to vote." Ran Wenyu handed the rope to Wu Yongtuo.

Five minutes later, everyone's luggage was safely taken into the cave by Abler, and the next step was to leave.

"Fix the safety rope first, let's discuss it later." Ran Wenyu said, and the others immediately agreed. Wu Yongtuo and Han Qiang quickly took out the rope they bought.Although these ropes are not as thick and secure as Abel's bundle, they are relatively strong.The only problem is-

"It's short." Wu Yongtuo gestured with the rope for a long time, his face was very ugly, "The length of the rope is not enough for the distance from the big tree to the entrance of the cave, and it is almost only from the edge of the cliff to the entrance of the cave. What should I do?"

When buying supplies earlier, no one thought that the entrance to Hell's Mouth was on a cliff, so Wu Yongtuo and Han Qiang only noticed the strength of the rope, but didn't care about the length.Obviously, this was also a mistake caused by their inexperience. They took it for granted that the entrance of the cave was on the ground, and did not inquire further about the situation in detail.

"In this case, let the person with the strongest strength pull the safety rope on top." Ran Wenyu frowned and said, "It is more dangerous when the last person descends the cliff without a safety rope."

While speaking, Ran Wenyu turned his attention to the NPC who had been quietly listening to their conversation—the camera uncle seemed to be in good shape, and his strength should not be small.

Noticing Ran Wenyu's gaze, the cameraman's face changed, obviously not very happy.However, under the repeated "persuasion" by Ran Wenyu and Cheng Yuan, he finally nodded reluctantly and agreed to be the last one to go down the cliff—after all, everyone present was either women, pampered celebrities, or scared people. The coward (assistant) with trembling hands and feet, no matter how you look at it, he is more reliable.

"Then it's settled. When the three of you go down, I will pull the safety rope. When I go down, I will hand over the safety rope to the cameraman." Wu Yongtuo finally concluded.

Seeing that everyone had solved the safety rope problem, KP, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again.

KP: [Climb down the cliff along the rope, and all investigators need to pass a test of climbing skills. 】

As KP ​​spoke, the four of them froze for a moment, then frantically searched their pockets to find their own character cards and check their climbing skills. Only Han Qiang seemed relieved.

KP: [If you don't have climbing skills, please pass a judgment that the strength value is halved. If the judgment is successful, it is also considered as a successful climbing. 】

This time, Wu Yongtuo also relaxed a little.

Ran Wenyu and Cheng Yuan looked at each other, and both saw the confusion and helplessness of being weak chickens from each other's faces.Ran Wenyu swallowed: "KP, if the test fails...what will happen?"

KP's voice is soft; [If the climbing or strength test fails, please ask the person responsible for pulling the safety rope to pass a strength test to see if he can successfully hold the fallen person.If the strength check still fails, please make another luck check to see if Abler in the cave can detect the danger and rescue in time. 】

Calculating the probability, Ran Wenyu and Cheng Yuan felt a little better, thinking that they still had hope of surviving, and turned their expectant and trustful eyes to Wu Yongtuo: "Angkor, we rely on you!"

Wu Yongtuo returned them with a reluctant smile: "I try my best, mainly relying on luck."

After determining the climbing process, the next sequence is simple.Han Qiang volunteered to be the first, followed by Ran Wenyu, followed by Cheng Yuan, and finally by Wu Yongtuo.

Han Qiang's character belongs to the speed type in the combat category, with a climbing skill of 40, which is higher than half of his strength, so he naturally chose the climbing test.

This time, his luck was not bad, he succeeded in a climbing test, and slipped down the cliff along the rope very smoothly and entered the cave.

Ran Wenyu was next, he took a deep breath: "KP, I have to pass a strength test."

KP: [Investigator Ran Wenyu chooses the strength check, the strength half value is 23, 23/57, failed. 】

As soon as KP finished speaking, Ran Wenyu felt that his hands that were tightly holding on to the rope were suddenly loosened, and his whole body fell freely.Although he was mentally prepared and expected that he would fail in all likelihood, this terrifying feeling still made Ran Wenyu so frightened that he couldn't even scream.

There was an exclamation from the edge of the cliff, and Wu Yongtuo turned the turntable with shaking hands.

KP: [Strength test: Wu Yongtuo, 70/72, failed. 】

Ran Wenyu: Damn it!God is going to kill me!Is this my Taifei or Angkor Taifei? !

Before the words of shouting came out, Ran Wenyu felt that his falling momentum suddenly stopped, and a turntable appeared beside him out of thin air.

KP: 【Luck check: Ran Wenyu, 70/41, successful. 】

The next moment, Ran Wenyu fell again, but before he could react, a hand suddenly appeared, precisely grasping his arm that had not had time to retract because of turning the turntable, and suddenly dragged him back from the brink of death.

Hanging on the edge of the cliff, with Linhai hundreds of meters away at his feet, and above his head was Abu Le's handsome face without any expression. Ran Wenyu was so shocked that he couldn't react at all, he could only look at Abu in a numb manner With great force, he pulled himself into the cave.

It wasn't until his feet stepped on the ground that Ran Wenyu realized that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand at all. He could only lean against Abu Le softly, trying to comfort his little boy who was so frightened that he almost burst out of his chest. heart.

Although Abler's chest is strong and powerful, and has a reassuring heat, Ran Wenyu has no time to appreciate the beauty of the other party's body at this moment, and the whole person is like a cat whose fur has exploded.

Abu Le seemed a little helpless, and even though Ran Wenyu leaned on him for a while, he found that he hadn't recovered, so he simply reached out and picked him up, put him aside, and let him rest against the cave wall.

"Thank you." Facing Abler's eyes that seemed to ask him if he was okay, Ran Wenyu tried to squeeze out a smile, "I'm fine, you can go pick up the next person."

Abler nodded, raised his hand and rubbed Ran Wenyu's curly hair to comfort him, and then walked towards the entrance of the cave again.

KP: [Strength check: Cheng Yuan, half strength 23, 23/39, failed. 】

Outside the cave, there was a sudden scream, which frightened Ran Wenyu's heart, which had just calmed down a little, to start to speed up again. He jumped up in a jerk, as if his limbs, which had been limp just now, had regained their strength.

KP: [Strength test: Wu Yongtuo, 70/23, successful. 】

Cheng Yuan stopped at a height of half a meter from the entrance of the cave. She was so frightened that she lost her soul. Like Ran Wenyu, she was carried into the cave by Abu Le, and then threw it to Han Qiang.

Han Qiang, who was forced to hug Cheng Yuan: "..."

After seeing Ran Wenyu who found Cheng Yuan safe and then sat back down, Han Qiang half hugged and half dragged Cheng Yuan to his side, letting Cheng Yuan and Ran Wenyu sit side by side.

Cheng Yuan was already afraid of heights, and after experiencing the speed of life and death, she was more frightened than Ran Wenyu at this time.She sat on the ground blankly and waited for a long time, then she shook her lips as if she had regained consciousness, and cried.

Cheng Yuan didn't cry, but just kept wiping away her tears and sobbing softly from time to time, her appearance was extremely pitiful.Ran Wenyu sat next to her at a loss for a moment, and tentatively patted Cheng Yuan's shoulder: "Okay, okay, it's over, you're safe now."

Cheng Yuan whimpered and didn't reply for a long time. Just when Ran Wenyu thought she hadn't heard it, she suddenly said, "I haven't been there. I'm thinking about how to go back when I leave the cave."

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——Sister, you asked such a good question, I didn't even think about it.Ran Wenyu thought for a moment, and answered honestly: "Probably... die back?"

Cheng Yuan cried, and looked at Ran Wenyu in disbelief with her steamy eyes.

Ran Wenyu blinked.

Cheng Yuan... Cheng Yuan cried even more sadly.

While Cheng Yuan and Ran Wenyu were "whispering", Wu Yongtuo also went down the cliff smoothly.The first thing he did when he entered the cave was to run over and apologize to Ran Wenyu. After all, it was he who didn't hold the rope, which caused Ran Wenyu another false alarm.

"It's not your fault, it's all the will of the goddess of dice. Anyway, I'm still alive." Ran Wenyu shrugged his shoulders, generously forgave Wu Yongtuo's dark face, and then handed over the difficult task of coaxing the girl to He will solve it.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, at least the four investigators entered the cave safely, and the result was pretty good.As for the next process of the NPC's descent from the cliff, the four of them didn't care much.

The female director is obviously a slender girl, but her skills are very crisp and sharp. When she entered the cave, everything was normal except her face was slightly pale. I don't know how many times better, she is simply a heroine among women.

Xu Xiangqian's descent from the cliff was naturally smoother. He was so personable that even his hair didn't seem to be messed up in the slightest. He was still in the mood to walk up to the two frightened little pitiful people and help them with psychological counseling in gentle words—— It is said that Xu Xiangqian, a high-achieving student, also obtained the qualification certificate of a psychologist by self-taught. It is no wonder that Ran Wenyu didn't notice any abnormalities when he used psychology on him.

As for the next male assistant, it was not so safe.He failed the strength check, but fortunately he was caught by the photographer in time, and he hid aside shivering as soon as he entered the cave. It seemed that he had been frightened by a lot of SAN value and was on the verge of collapse.

Worst of all, however, was the next assistant—

KP: [Strength check: Assistant B, 25/31, failed.Strength check: Photographer, 60/79, fails.Luck roll: Assistant B, 50/61, failed. 】

The series of broadcasts by KP made everyone in the cave feel relaxed and did not react at all. It was not until they heard three failures in a row that the four subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the cave, just in time to see the figure of the male assistant accompanying them. A shriek of terror passed through the hole and disappeared.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.After a while, Cheng Yuan trembled and murmured two words: "Dead, dead?"

Abler looked down at the entrance of the cave, his handsome brows were tightly frowned, and he gave a faint "hmm".

Everyone: "……………………"

——When everyone is dead, you just say "huh"? !

Perhaps Abler's performance was too calm, which greatly slowed down the impact of death, or the four players did not regard the NPC in the module as a real person, so even if they saw the assistant fall to his death In one scene, there is not much empathy.

However, KP will not miss this opportunity: [Witnessed the death of someone he knew, please perform a SANCHECK that deducts 1 for failure and 1D6 for success. 】

KP: 【Will test: Ran Wenyu, 58/31, success, sanity minus 1; Cheng Yuan, 55/45, success, sanity minus 1; Wu Yongtuo, 60/21, success, sanity minus 1; Han Qiang, 50/82 , failure, sanity reduced by 1D6=1. 】

All the investigators were indifferent, and politely surrendered 1 point of sanity with a deadpan face, and KP gave a light "tsk": [What a cold-blooded group with no humanity. 】

A cold-blooded group of four without humanity: "……………………"
