Please charm this NPC

Ran Wenyu and the others knew that, under KP's madness, the thing that was peeking at him finally showed its ferocious fangs.However, no matter how much they worry about fear, they can only bite the bullet and continue going down.

KP: [Willpower confrontation: Wu Yongtuo, 60/45, successful,? ? ? , 90/34, successful with difficulty, Wu Yongtuo failed in confrontation; Han Qiang, 50/61, failed,? ? ? , 90/72, success, Han Qiang failed in confrontation; Ran Wenyu, 58/27, success with difficulty,? ? ? , 90/53, successful, Ran Wenyu confronted successfully; Cheng Yuan, 55/30, successful,? ? ? , 90/65, success, against a tie, the side with higher willpower wins, and Cheng Yuan loses against. 】

Ran Wenyu only felt a pinprick pain in his brain, as if something disgusting and weird was constantly drilling into his mind, trying to control all his thoughts.It seems to be whispering, it seems to be screaming, it seems to be an irresistible will from the unknown abyss.

Fortunately, this kind of pain came and went suddenly. Just after he turned the turntable and successfully resisted the willpower, it quietly receded like a tide, leaving only his still aching head and sweaty back, proving "It" has come.

Ran Wenyu touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and then he was in the mood to pay attention to his little friends, and found that they were just like him, suffering and bewildered, their eyes were dull and dull, Cheng Yuan was even unable to maintain a standing posture, and directly knelt He fell to the ground, holding his head in his hands.

At the same time, after tossing the investigators, KP extended his claws to his NPCs, and the NPCs were hit one by one. Even Abel and Xu Xiangqian turned pale suddenly, as if they were clenching their teeth and enduring.

Ran Wenyu stood there, at a loss, unable to predict what would happen after the failure of willpower resistance.However, very soon, after everyone had completed the resistance check, everyone's actions immediately told him the answer.

Pulling out the scimitar or dagger, their expressions were ferocious and crazy, Ran Wenyu was so frightened that he took a big step back, almost thinking that these former companions would charge up and hack him to death—but luckily(?), they The target is not Ran Wenyu.

Ran Wenyu stared blankly at them rushing towards the extremely beautiful unknown crystals growing by the underground lakes, using machetes, daggers, trekking sticks, and even his own hands to continuously hit those crystals, knocking them out of the water. The growing part was pried off and stuffed into his pocket and backpack.

And the only three who remained sane and did not participate in it were Ran Wenyu, Abul and Xu Xiangqian.

"What, what's going on here?" Ran Wenyu hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously ran to Cheng Yuan, who was the least threatening to him, and tried to hold her arm wielding the scimitar to stop her movement.

However, Cheng Yuan's strength at this moment is surprisingly great. She broke free from Ran Wenyu's hand and continued to chop the crystal, but her expression gradually woke up from the initial madness. eyelashes.

——However, even though she was sobbing and crying, and her body was trembling violently, she still didn't stop her movements, she was chopping while crying, she was really pitiful.

"I also want to know what the hell is going on!" At this time, Han Qiang and Wu Yongtuo also regained consciousness - this is probably a special benefit for investigators, and it is not as unknown as NPCs. Things are completely controlled.

Still, seeing one's madness soberly is probably more unbearable than going completely mad.

Although he sympathizes with their situation at the moment, Ran Wenyu is relieved when he sees his friends regaining their senses, and his mood stabilizes immediately: "Don't panic, this should be the result of the failure of the willpower confrontation just now, you were killed by that'?? ?' Take control."

"Being controlled? Then what should we do next? Just being controlled as a miner to mine crystals?" Wu Yongtuo seemed to be relatively calm, amused himself with a wry smile.

"...Maybe when that thing is satisfied, it can stop." Ran Wenyu guessed.

"What the hell is that? Was it related to KP's secret vote before?" Wu Yongtuo asked.

Ran Wenyu shook his head honestly: "I only know that it is very likely to be the boss we will face in the end."

"Fuck! Before I touched the side of the boss, I was controlled by it. This game is impossible to play, right?" Han Qiang gritted his teeth.

"Maybe it's not that bad." Ran Wenyu could only try to appease him, "That thing's willpower is too strong, and it's normal for willpower to fight against failure, and success is just a fluke. It shouldn't be possible for KP to let us just end without resistance and cleanly." Group, we probably still have a chance to bounce around and struggle."

Wu Yongtuo: "...you say that, I don't feel comforted at all, okay?"

After comforting his little friends, it seemed that they had finally accepted the reality and resigned themselves to digging for crystals. Then Ran Wenyu turned his attention to the other two people who were not under control.

Abler's expression was solemn, his body was tense, his right hand was already holding the shotgun, his knuckles were white, it seemed that he could enter the fighting state in the next moment, and launch a fatal blow to the enemy.And Xu Xiangqian still had that gentle and refined look, even Ran Wenyu felt that in this weird situation, he seemed to be too lazy to pretend to be normal, and the worry between his brows was so false that it was impossible to look directly at him.

Noticing Ran Wenyu's gaze, Abler nodded slightly at him: "The situation is unknown now. Since other people are just picking crystals and their lives are not in danger, we'd better not act rashly."

"...Okay." Ran Wenyu also held the same point of view, and quite obediently accepted his suggestion.

Next, amidst the clanging sounds, Ran Wenyu stood first, then sat cross-legged on the ground when he was tired from standing, and watched his friends sweat profusely while doing nothing.

His laid-back appearance seemed to be hated by others. Han Qiang stared at him and cursed several times, while Cheng Yuan was too tired to cry, and looked at Ran Wenyu with a particularly resentful look.Only Wu Yongtuo has a good physical fitness and a relatively calm and open-minded personality, and he can still think about chatting with him.

"Actually, we have all experienced this feeling of being out of control before, haven't we? For example, in the previous climbing, or in battle, we were responsible for rolling the dice, and the body acted on its own according to the numerical results." Ran Wenyu held his chin, coping with Wu Yongtuo's complaints.

"Having said that, before, I was nervous and didn't pay attention, or the time was relatively short and I didn't have time to experience it. I didn't feel unbearable this time." Wu Yongtuo blinked the sweat dripping from his eyes, "I think I was like a marionette."

"...Actually, it's okay this time, it's just mining." Ran Wenyu coughed lightly, "In the last module, one of my companions was controlled to call his girlfriend 'Mom'."

Wu Yongtuo: "...I would rather call you Mom now."

Ran Wenyu: "...But I don't want to, thank you."

After about half an hour, everyone was exhausted, and their knapsacks and pockets were all stuffed with crystals of unknown use. Then they finally stopped their movements gradually, and they all collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

KP: [Encountered a strange situation that cannot be explained by rationality, please perform a SANCHECK for all members, the success will be reduced by 1, and the failure will be reduced by 1D6. 】

Wave after wave of blows, just encountered the mind control of unknown creatures, and then ushered in the mental blow of KP - even if everyone has already lost the Sancheck, they are still afraid of Sancheck.

Fortunately, this time, the investigators were all lucky. They survived this round of sanity checks and were strong enough not to go crazy. However, the assistant on the NPC side was unfortunately caught and was deducted 5 sanity points at once, falling into temporary madness. Passed out.

After the sancheck, Ran Wenyu got up from the ground, went to Wu Yongtuo and squatted down, poked his shoulder: "Brother, how is it?"

"...Not so good." Wu Yongtuo gave him a vicissitudes of life.

"Can you take out the crystals in your backpack and pocket and throw them away?" Ran Wenyu asked, "I think this thing is weird and not a good thing."

"I want to throw them too, but I can't." Wu Yongtuo smiled wryly, "I feel that I can't control myself to throw them away, if someone wants to snatch them..." He glanced strangely at Ran Wenyu, who was about to move, "I will probably kill them immediately he."

Ran Wenyu silently withdrew his claws that were about to pick out the crystals.

After the high-intensity physical labor, everyone rested for about 20 minutes before regaining some strength and reluctantly stood up.

Except for the instinctive protection of the crystals that they carried with them, everyone seemed to be back to normal, but their faces were as pale as ghosts, and they didn't know whether they were tired or frightened.

After encountering such a weird thing, no one thought about filming the show anymore.The cameraman discarded the camera that he had been carefully carrying on his shoulders; the female director was no longer as excited as before, and the long hair that had been carefully groomed was scattered in a mess, like a ghost; as for the assistant... He is still unconscious.

Just when everyone was tired and helpless, Abler moved again.He raised his gun sharply, pointed in the direction they came from, with a vigilant expression, and this time, KP did not require the investigators to pass any listening checks.

Abler's appearance startled everyone, subconsciously grasped the weapon, and prepared to prepare for the third battle.At first, they didn't hear any sound, but as Abler's expression became more serious and his body became more and more tense, the investigators finally heard the rustling sound.

——It seems that it is the sound of a large group of things crawling.

"Not good! Run!" Before everyone understood what they heard, Abler suddenly retracted his gun, shouted loudly, and ran to the opposite direction of the sound, while the others were baffled, But he followed instinctively, moving his heavy legs with a panicked expression.

"What happened, what happened?" Cheng Yuan asked sharply, having cried out her tears from the series of blows.

And what responded to her was Han Qiang shouting almost loudly: "Look back!" - this was the first time that the young man who killed Matt showed such a frightened expression.

Following Han Qiang's voice, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look behind them.I saw a group of black mice gushing out of the hole they came from. Looking at it, there seemed to be hundreds of them!

If there were only a few or even a dozen bats like the bats before, everyone could barely fight, but when facing hundreds of mice, they would have no choice but to scurry away.Face the enemy head-on?That is simply a fantasy!As the saying goes, "ants eat more elephants", didn't you see that even Abel, whose combat effectiveness was over the top, escaped so neatly?

What's even more frightening is that Xu Xiangqian's words not long ago came to mind at the same time: "When I touched the bone, I found that its surface was covered with traces of being eaten by small omnivorous animals such as mice. .”

——The pile of fluffy animals behind them are not ordinary rats at all, but a group of living man-eating rats!

Thinking of this, everyone will collapse.

The group of man-eating rats flooded in and quickly overwhelmed the place where they had just stood.A small group of mice stopped, jumped on the assistant who was still fainted in place, and squeaked in what seemed to be pleasure.Everyone couldn't see what happened there, they could only see gray-brown rats moving constantly, and quickly gathered into a human-shaped bulge.

This scene made everyone feel the bone-deep fear and nausea.

KP: [Witnessing my companion being eaten by man-eating rats and facing the attack of rats, let's have another wave of SANCHECK before running away!Subtract 2 for success and 1D6+1 for failure. 】

Everyone: "……………………"

——God damn SANCHECK! KP is simply adding fuel to the fire for fear that the world will not be chaotic!

KP: [Will test: Ran Wenyu, 58/71, failed, sanity reduced by 1D6+1=4; Wu Yongtuo, 60/44.Success, sanity minus 2; Cheng Yuan, 55/28, success, sanity minus 2; Han Qiang, 50/89, failure, sanity reduction 1D6+1=3. 】

With the blessing of the goddess of the dice, the investigators managed to hold on once again, and this time it was the female director who was recruited.

She suddenly stopped running away, her eyes were crazy, she roared and waved her trekking pole at the rats, as if she wanted to beat all these arrogant animals into a puddle of mud.

KP: [Will test: female director, 60/67, failed, sanity reduced by 1D6+1=6, and fell into a temporary state of madness.Temporary insanity symptoms 1D10=8, falling into hysteria without reason. 】

The female director's trekking stick was waving vigorously, and indeed hit a few mice that rushed up, knocking them away like hitting a baseball.However, only a small number of mice were hit, and more mice successfully jumped on her body, tearing and biting.

The female director let out a scream of despair and horror that made people want to have nightmares. She tried to struggle, twisted her body and tried to shake off the rats on her body, but there were more and more rats hanging around her body.In the end, she seemed to have lost her strength, and she seemed to have given up her desire to survive in despair, and fell into the rat swarm.

——Fortunately, the investigators who were busy fleeing for their lives did not see this scene, otherwise there would be another sancheck.They could only hear the female director's screams, judging that the other party was in danger.

Of course, the life and death of the female director couldn't attract their attention at this moment, because they all focused on making themselves run faster, lest they would follow in the footsteps of the assistant and the female director.

If they were going to be gnawed to death by a group of rats, they would rather commit suicide before that, to give themselves a good time!
