Please charm this NPC

Cui Zheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked up at the sky with a rare deep expression, as if he was thinking about something very serious.

Ran Wenyu glanced at Liu Lei, then turned his head and called softly: "Mr. Cui?"

Cui Zheng suddenly came back to his senses, put on his yuppie smile in an instant, and turned around: "We meet again, Mr. Ran, we are so destined."

Ran Wenyu twitched his lips: "Since we are both investigating the same thing, it is normal to meet, right?"

Cui Zheng didn't answer, but just glanced at him resentfully, as if he was blaming Ran Wenyu for his incomprehensible style.

"Well, I admit, I'm really here to wait for you." Cui Zheng shrugged, "Or to be precise, I'm waiting for someone who can bring me into the experimental field."

Ran Wenyu was surprised.Perhaps because he knew that the other party had a very high initial affection for him, when Ran Wenyu faced Cui Zheng, his words were a little casual and impolite: "I thought that Mr. Cui would pretend to be us and retrieve the video without authorization. Use 'special means' to enter the test field."

"It's really sad for Mr. Ran to say that." Cui Zheng showed a sad expression, "As a gold medal reporter, I am a good citizen who abides by the law. I even studied various laws by myself and obtained a lawyer's qualification certificate. "

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——I always feel that this guy is studying law by himself to get a lawyer's certificate in order to take advantage of legal loopholes more effectively.

"As for the 'impersonation' you mentioned, that's even more nonsense!" Cui Zhengyi said, "I just took out my press card, explained my purpose to the school security, and asked him to see me in my pursuit of truth and justice. In terms of face, he helped me and made a convenience. As for the fact that the other party regarded me as An Xuemei, I didn't know it. It was just a misunderstanding and coincidence that was not beautiful."

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——Sure enough, he is a gold medal reporter. This method of distinguishing himself and turning black and white is really very skillful.

Too lazy to argue with this eloquent reporter, Ran Wenyu gave him a helpless look of "All right, you are right", then cut off the conversation with Cui Zheng neatly, turned around and walked to the only place in the test field. Entrance.Seeing the fingerprint lock at the entrance, Ran Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, and no longer worried about how to unlock it.He stretched out his finger and pressed it on the identification device, only to hear a soft "beep", the green light on the fingerprint lock flashed twice, and the door was automatically opened.

Liu Lei and Cui Zheng stood behind Ran Wenyu and watched this scene. Liu Lei didn't respond, but Cui Zheng said with emotion: "This fingerprint lock is quite advanced, and it is very difficult to crack."

Ran Wenyu turned to look at him: "Mr. Cui has a lot of research on this?"

"It's a lot of research." Cui Zheng stroked his mustache with a humble expression, "I just wrote a report on fingerprint locks and interviewed several top researchers in this field, so I have some experience. learn."

Ran Wenyu nodded, without further words, stepped into the test field first, followed by Liu Lei, and Cui Zheng also followed in very naturally, as if he and Ran Wenyu and others were in the same group.

——If An Xueyuan was here, according to the character design, she would definitely lose her temper again.

"Since the fingerprint lock is difficult to crack, I just observed the guardrail of the experimental field, and there is no sign of damage, so this should be committed by an insider." After Cui Zheng entered the experimental field and was no longer in danger of being kicked out, three Leaping past Liu Lei in two steps, he approached Ran Wenyu, and smiled at Yan Yan, "Excuse me, who are the people who are qualified to enter this experimental field?"

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——I also want to know who the hell!

——Other investigators always caught an NPC and asked this and that, but when they came to me, they were caught by the NPC and asked this and that. It must be because of my wrong posture in running the group!

Crazy complaints in his heart, although Ran Wenyu was quite agitated, but in order to avoid OOC, he had to bite the bullet and answer according to his common sense: "The only people who can enter the experimental field are members of our project team and the staff responsible for taking care of the experimental field. "

"Approximately how many people are there?" Cui Zheng asked.

Ran Wenyu recalled the list of project team members that he came across when he was looking for a map in his laptop: "There are about 30 people."

"Then this range is indeed a bit large." Cui Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that he didn't continue to ask, Ran Wenyu immediately seized the opportunity and regained the initiative: "Mr. Cui also thinks it's the ghost?"

"Yes." Cui Zheng nodded calmly, "According to the existing clues, this is the only most likely conclusion, isn't it? Only the ghost can enter the experimental field, and only the ghost can enter There is no need to worry about being photographed by the camera during the test field, which will arouse suspicion."

Ran Wenyu touched his chin, and suddenly turned to Liu Lei: "Brother Lei, I'm not good at psychology. I remember you have psychology skills. Would you like to vote for one?"

Although Liu Lei couldn't keep up with Ran Wenyu's train of thought, he still complied with his request.

KP: [You notice that Cui Zheng’s face is very serious, but his eyes are full of joking and joy. You can’t be sure that what he said really thinks so, or he just said it casually. 】

Ran Wenyu & Liu Lei: "……………………"

——Spicy Chicken Psychology!

Seeing Cui Zheng swaying to the side, bending down from time to time to observe the withered plants up close, Liu Lei and Ran Wenyu got together and started a discussion.

"Do you suspect that he didn't tell the truth?" Liu Lei subconsciously lowered his voice even though he knew that KP would shield the investigators from communicating with each other and would not let the NPC notice any abnormalities, "Why? The conclusion we came to It's the same as him, is there something wrong?"

"There is indeed nothing wrong, it's probably just a... intuition." Ran Wenyu touched his chin, "We all know that this incident is definitely not as simple as man-made, but Cui Zheng insisted that it was an insider. I think he It's leading us on a wrong path." After a pause, he scratched his curly hair embarrassingly, "Also, according to my past experience in participating in running groups, the characters in KP's modules who are good-looking They are all very important plot NPCs, although this Cui Zheng...is a bit special, but the APP is indeed very high, I think he should be more than just a reporter who competes with sister Xue Yuan for exclusive reports."

After listening to Ran Wenyu's reasoning, Liu Lei gave him a very speechless look, apparently feeling that his thoughts were too subjective.

Ran Wenyu didn’t argue either, anyway, he positioned himself as a water-skiing party in this module, as long as he said his own thoughts, as for whether his teammates believed it or not, and whether they would follow his direction, Ran Wenyu didn't mind.

After the discussion between the two, Cui Zheng had already walked a long way, and could only see a vague shadow in the distance.Ran Wenyu and Liu Lei also started their own investigation.

Liu Lei used investigative skills on the test field. Although the skill was successful, the KP did not give any valuable answers. Obviously, the clues in the test field cannot be obtained by investigative skills.

Later, Ran Wenyu also used his botanical skills on the experimental field.

KP: [Botany test: Ran Wenyu, 70/52, successful.Under normal circumstances, plants infected with certain viruses or lacking certain nutrients will show different symptoms on the plants, and experienced farmers and scientific researchers can use these appearances to determine how to start treatment.By examining the offending plants in the field, you can probably tell that they don't have any of the common ailments you know.The withering of the plants seems to be squeezing their vitality. Even a professional like Professor Jia doesn't know the reason for this phenomenon, let alone prescribe the right medicine to revive them. 】

On the surface, this passage from KP still has no useful clues, but Ran Wenyu grasped the key point of "something is squeezing their vitality" very keenly, and successfully posted it on the target he suspected earlier superior.

Verifying his guess for the first time, Ran Wenyu thumped in his heart, and his face couldn't help but look a little ugly.If his suspicion is correct, then what they have to face this time is really tricky. It is not like the earth burrower, which has obvious weaknesses, and it is not even the kind that can be used by black goat cubs. A "creature" that is damaged by a physical attack.

——This kind of existence beyond the level of human cognition is the most incomprehensible.

Taking a deep breath, Ran Wenyu tried to calm himself down.

——Anyway, it's just a card tear, and it's not like he hasn't been torn before, it's true!Reassuring himself in this way, Ran Wenyu, who had a rough nerve, soon became more open-minded.

Liu Lei didn't notice the sudden change in Ran Wenyu's face, and was still thinking about the clues KP gave just now.Ran Wenyu felt that he didn't seem to have guessed the "black hand behind the scenes".

Of course, this is also normal. After all, KP arrests people to run a group, and does not require investigators to know about Cthulhu. I don't know anything about this, and a half-baked guy like Ran Wenyu is already a rare "knowledgeable".

However, the selling point of Cthulhu is "unknown". If the investigators can see through what they want to investigate at a glance, and then search for clues based on the conclusion, the difficulty will be greatly reduced, and the whole module will lack surprises and wonders, which will appear interesting. dull.

—— KP does not allow Ran Wenyu's spoilers, and it is based on this consideration.

Compassionately glanced at Liu Lei who didn't know what he was about to face, Ran Wenyu, everyone was drunk and I was sober, but still had to act like "I don't know anything" to avoid being thrown away by KP and the great Kesu Lu dreamed of meeting.

He looked around, trying to find some useful clues, and then saw a small room not far from the door.

Previously, because everyone's attention was focused on the withered plants, the dusty, extremely ordinary building did not attract much attention, but since there is nothing to investigate in the field now, then the house may be given what clues.

Ran Wenyu greeted Liu Lei, walked to the door of the house, and found that the door was locked, and there was a nameplate with the words "Chen Wanglin" on the door.Ran Wenyu remembered that this "Chen Wanglin" was the staff responsible for taking care of the experimental field—it was working hours, and Chen Wanglin was supposed to stay in the field, so why was the room where he usually worked and rested locked?

"Brother Lei, can you pick the lock?" Ran Wenyu turned to Liu Lei and asked.

Liu Lei shook his head and checked the door lock again: "However, this door lock is not strong, I think I can just kick it open."

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——I didn't expect that Police Officer Liu was usually quiet, but he was still a ruthless character at critical moments!

"Then kick!" He stepped back a few steps to the side, leaving enough room for Liu Lei to operate.

"No problem?" Liu Lei was a little uncertain.

"No problem." Ran Wenyu affirmed, "This house is considered the property of our project team. Even if we broke into it without consent, it is not considered a private house. After all, we have a golden order from Professor Jia. In order to investigate the case, It’s nothing to kick the door. What’s more, it’s Chen Wanglin’s fault to lock the door and disappear during working hours.” After a pause, he added, “Temporary workers have no human rights.”

——It can be said to be very realistic.

Hearing what Ran Wenyu said, Liu Lei no longer hesitated.

He took a few steps back and kicked at a run-up. The wooden door made a loud noise and shook a few times, but there was no obvious change. It was obviously much stronger than it looked on the outside.

After moving that painful leg, Liu Lei was a little helpless: "Forget it, I'd better use my strength. I'm worried that I will hurt myself, so I always restrain my strength unconsciously."

KP: [According to the strength of the door, if you want to successfully kick it open, you need to pass a difficult strength test. 】

Liu Lei nodded.

KP: [Strength check: Liu Lei, 60/17, successful on difficulty. 】

I saw Liu Lei retreated a certain distance, and ran up again.This time, controlled by an invisible force, Liu Lei's actions were much more decisive and ruthless. With a beautiful flying kick in the air, he directly kicked the entire door to the ground, sending up a burst of fly ash.

Ran Wenyu showed an amazed expression, and clapped his hands dryly—to be honest, my little friends this time are also very European. Up to now, they have hardly failed (psychology is not counted), and even they seem to be affected by it. Blessed by the favor of the dice goddess.

Obviously, the movement of Liu Lei kicking the door was too loud, and Cui Zheng, who was wandering somewhere, rushed to hear the sound, and the expression on his face was also very exciting.He even quickly took out a small camera to capture Liu Lei's heroic appearance.

Liu Lei, who landed lightly, turned his head to look at Cui Zheng holding the camera expressionlessly.

Cui Zheng smiled sheepishly, and put the camera back into his jacket pocket generously: "I'm sorry, sorry, this is just a reporter's instinct. When you see a wonderful moment, you can't help but want to record it with your camera. .”

Liu Lei: “…………………………”

——If you really feel sorry, shouldn't you delete the photo immediately? !

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Lei felt that he was wearing a police uniform, but he did the act of kicking the door, which was not suitable for his identity as a people's policeman.With a straight face, he walked towards Cui Zheng and reached out to him for the camera.

Cui Zheng glanced at Ran Wenyu, as if he didn't really want to play tricks in front of the beauty and ruin his image.Sighing helplessly, Cui Zheng obediently took out the camera, intending to delete the photos by himself, but suddenly Ran Wenyu had a flash of inspiration: "KP, if I want to take the camera back, what will I need to do?"

KP probably did not expect that Ran Wenyu would come to such an operation, and hesitated for a moment: [First use agility to see if Cui Zheng can dodge in time when you try to snatch it, and then you use another strength confrontation to see if you Can the camera be taken away smoothly. 】

"Okay!" Ran Wenyu rattled his fists.

KP: [Agility check: Ran Wenyu, 75/48, successful. 】

Ran Wenyu had quick hands and eyes, and when Cui Zheng was unprepared, he reached out and grabbed his camera.Although Cui Zheng didn't react, he instinctively clenched what was in his hand.

KP: [Strength confrontation: Ran Wenyu, 50/32, successful; Cui Zheng, 70/24, successful in difficulties, but failed in the strength confrontation. 】

Ran Wenyu grabbed the camera and twitched it outwards—no twitch, the camera was held tightly by Cui Zheng.The two held the end of the camera with one hand, and they were in a stalemate.

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

Cui Zheng: "……………………"

——The scene was once extremely embarrassing.
