Please charm this NPC

There is no need to sleep with another person. This night, Ran Wenyu's sleep quality was pretty good.

After waking up in the morning, he and two NPCs had breakfast and went straight to the experimental field, and pushed open the door of the hut at the side of the experimental field that was randomly erected—yes, the door that Liu Lei kicked open before was not repaired, and it was still the same. Maintained a damaged appearance.

It was obviously a fine day with fresh air and bright sunshine, but the moment he entered the room, Ran Wenyu noticed a chilling coldness and smelled a particularly unpleasant smell.

His heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "Cui Zheng's crow's mouth is real?" He quickly took two steps and looked at the single bed against the wall.

There seemed to be a person lying on the single bed, buried from head to toe in the quilt, motionless.Ran Wenyu felt numb, hesitating and dare not face the reality, but Ge Zongnian had a calm attitude. After rubbing his little curly hair in a comforting manner, he walked to the bed first, stretched out his hand to uncover the quilt, and then held down the person under the quilt. side neck.

After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and nodded slightly to Ran Wenyu and Cui Zheng: "Alive. Xiaoyu, go get a glass of water. He probably didn't have the strength to get out of bed. He was hungry and thirsty, and passed out."

Ran Wenyu listened to the order, and hurried to the kettle placed in the corner, picked up the kettle and shook it.When he found water, he didn't care that the water had been stored for a few days, so he poured a cup out of a cup and brought it to the bed.

Cui Zheng, on the other hand, disliked Chen Wanglin on the bed very much, and had no intention of approaching him at all, and stood at the door to help them watch out.

After taking the water cup, Ge Zongnian skillfully helped Chen Wanglin halfway up, and gave him two sips of water.

Chen Wanglin didn't seem to be in a deep coma. When he sensed the source of water, he struggled to regain consciousness quickly, desperately swallowing the life-saving rain, and even because he was too eager, the water choked into the trachea and coughed repeatedly.

After drinking a glass of water, Chen Wanglin was finally fully awake, looking at Ge Zongnian and Ran Wenyu with the horror and sincere gratitude of the survivors.He opened his mouth, his lips were dry and cracked, bright red blood oozed out with a slight movement, and his voice was even hoarse: "Thank you, cough cough, thank you..."

"No thanks." Ran Wenyu blinked, "How did you make yourself look like this?"

Chen Wanglin smiled wryly: "I'm so sick that I can't get out of bed at all. This place is remote, no one passes by, and I can't even find anyone to ask for help..."

Ran Wenyu raised his eyebrows: "If I knew this earlier, why did you insist on leaving the hospital? You didn't even hesitate to hurt others?"

Chen Wanglin choked for a moment, with the same puzzled expression on his face, and murmured: "I, I don't know why... I feel like I've lost my head..."

Hearing what Chen Wanglin said, Ran Wenyu immediately understood.

Obviously, with Xingzhicai's serious injury and leaving, Chen Wanglin, who was most affected by it, also recovered his sanity, and was no longer forcibly bound to the Agricultural Science and Technology University.

"Okay, the matter is over, don't think too much about it. I'll send you to the hospital right now, listen to the doctor and get well." Ran Wenyu softened his voice and spoke softly.

Chen Wanglin nodded quickly, expressing his gratitude.

Because Chen Wanglin was dying from being sucked by Xing Zhicai, and his physique was extremely weak, he almost became a glass man who would shatter at the touch of a touch.Ran Wenyu was afraid that he would accidentally kill him by driving him to the hospital, so he called 120 and called for an ambulance.

While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, they also asked Chen Wanglin about the specific place to catch the mutated insects.

After accepting the life-saving grace of Ran Wenyu and others, Chen Wanglin knew everything and said everything, and he confided the answer quite straightforwardly.According to him, the shrub forest is located to the east of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and it takes about 30 minutes to walk. There is a small stream beside the shrub forest, and the water flow is not large. For the convenience of crossing the river, he dragged a piece of wood as a bridge.

"It's easy to find there. There are creeks, broken logs, and extraordinarily dense bushes. You can see them from a distance." Chen Wanglin emphasized.

"Okay, let's look for it, thank you." Ran Wenyu nodded, and just after he finished speaking, he heard the siren of an ambulance.

After sending Chen Wanglin to the ambulance, Ran Wenyu told the nurse the name of Chen Wanglin's original attending doctor, saying that it would be fine to hand him over to that doctor, and then called the doctor, vowing again and again that Chen Wanglin had figured it out and would not attack again And after the behavior of running away, he persuaded the doctor to accept him again.

After Chen Wanglin was settled, Ran Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to call Ge Zongnian and Cui Zheng to find the bush, but suddenly his eyes went dark, and he returned to the familiar pitch-black void from last night.

——An Xueyuan was looking at him from a distance, and smiled apologetically.

"Sister Xueyuan, are you planning to leave too?" Ran Wenyu was also prepared.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Wen Yu." An Xueyuan scratched his cheek, "I originally planned to stay and learn magic, but after thinking about it, I still feel that learning magic is not as attractive as returning to reality."

"It's okay." Ran Wenyu nodded understandingly.

While the two were greeting each other, the screen slowly unfolded.

KP: [After recovering his sanity at home, An Xueyuan still had lingering fears, and decided not to return to the University of Agricultural Science and Technology, so as to draw a line from these mysterious incidents.Since then, life has returned to its proper appearance, scientific and materialistic.You continue to be at the forefront of journalism, writing stories you are proud of.However, in your heart that you don't want to admit, you deeply understand that the distance between yourself and top reporters is getting farther and farther.You were originally inferior to Cui Zheng, whom you have always regarded as a competitor, but now, you can no longer catch up with him. 】

On the screen, "An Xueyuan", who is dressed as an elite, is sitting in front of the screen, typing quickly on the keyboard, as if writing a news report.Her eyes are blue and black, her eyes are indifferent, and she seems to have lost her passion for the future.

She is a successful reporter, but only a reporter.

KP: [Because, you have been defeated by fear and stopped pursuing the truth.Therefore, your achievements will stop here. 】

After listening to his follow-up, An Xueyuan touched his nose with a embarrassed expression: "Haha, it seems that KP is a little dissatisfied with me..."

"It might be a good result to return to normal." Ran Wenyu blinked and comforted him gently.

An Xueyuan shrugged his shoulders, stopped thinking about it, and waved goodbye to Ran Wenyu.

——In this way, there is really only Ran Wenyu left as a "living person" in the module.

Ran Wenyu felt melancholy and a little uneasy.But the thought of magic instantly cheered him up.

Returning to the module, Ran Wenyu was still standing in Chen Wanglin's hut. He took a deep breath and turned to the only NPC who accompanied him: "Let's go find that bush!"

Leaving the University of Agricultural Science and Technology, all the way to the east, the road is full of wilderness, bumpy and difficult. Fortunately, Ran Wenyu had the experience of walking through dense forests in the previous module, so he barely kept up with the team. It has to be said that Cui Zheng Both Ge Zongnian and Ge Zongnian often traveled all over the world and made their homes all over the world. They have developed good skills. No matter what kind of road conditions they encounter, they are walking on the ground. On the contrary, the youngest Ran Wenyu explained in an all-round way what it means to be a scholar without a hundred uses. , walked extraordinarily stumbling.

Due to Ran Wenyu's delay, it took about 40 minutes before they heard the slight sound of gurgling water.Ran Wenyu was out of breath, put his hands on his knees, couldn't help but heaved a long sigh of relief, and looked around.

"The stream should be right ahead." Cui Zheng held the camera in his hand, taking pictures from time to time along the way, very leisurely.

"Chen Wanglin said that the shrubs are next to the stream, but now... where is the forest?" Ran Wenyu was at a loss.

Neither of the other two could answer this question, so they could only continue walking until they actually stood by the stream and found a tree trunk that was halfway across the stream.

"This should be where Chen Wanglin said." Cui Zheng squatted beside the tree trunk, frowning, "Is he lying to us?"

——On the other side, let alone the extremely dense shrubs, you can’t even see a speck of green, only sporadic dry and broken tree trunks are barely standing, and a gust of wind blows, and a piece of bark peels off, as if severely weathered .

"Looking at his condition, he shouldn't be lying." Ge Zongnian shook his head, he jumped onto the tree trunk with a light figure, crossed the river in two or three steps, lowered his head to check the vegetation on the ground, and then waved to Ran Wenyu and Cui Zheng , "It is indeed here, come here."

Called by his teacher, Ran Wenyu also went on the "wooden bridge", but his balance ability was not very good, and he was on the verge of falling after taking two steps. It was Cui Zheng behind him who quickly supported him, and then sent him safely to the opposite side.

"What did you find?" Letting go of Ran Wenyu, Cui Zheng walked up to Ge Zongnian, lowered his head as well, and Ran Wenyu also moved closer, waiting for Ge Zongnian's answer.

Ge Zongnian bent down and picked up a dead branch: "The neighborhood is so barren, have you noticed it?"

Hearing what Ge Zongnian said, Ran Wenyu immediately understood: "Have you been sucked up by the stars?"

"I'm afraid that's the case." Ge Zongnian nodded lightly, and his leather shoes stepped on the thick dead branches under his feet, "If these branches are still alive, they should indeed be called extremely dense."

"But now, there is nothing left." Cui Zheng pushed aside layers of dead branches with his feet, trying to find any traces of life. However, there were only dead branches here, and even small insects such as ants could not be seen at all. .

"It seems that the records in the classics are accurate." Ge Zongnian folded his chest and looked around, "According to the information I read, the initial appearance of Star Color is a three-inch hollow spherical germ, which will grow in nutrient-rich soil or It develops in shallow water and grows into jelly-like larvae. The larvae grow further and gradually infiltrate the ecosystem, nearby plants will exhibit sickly frenzied growth, and animals and insects will be born deformed."

"The extraordinarily dense shrubs and deformed insects correspond to Chen Wanglin's testimony." Ran Wenyu understood.

"In about a few months, the larva will turn into the color of the star, leave the nest, look for food nearby, and start to absorb the vitality contained in the area affected by its larval form." Ge Zongnian continued, "The land that has been sucked dry is here. Desolate, no plants can continue to grow."

"So, in the end, it was Xingzhicai who sucked up this area, and then found its way to Chen Wanglin, and settled in the test field, or it was seriously injured and fled back here. In order to repair the injury, it turned this place into a place overnight. Wasteland?" Ran Wenyu asked with a frown.

"I don't know about that." Ge Zongnian threw away the dead branch and shook his head.

"What's next? What are we going to do next?" Cui Zheng asked casually, using his camera to record the land without any trace of life.

"Next, Cui Zheng, take Xiaoyu away." Ge Zongnian looked at Cui Zheng with a serious tone, "Don't go back to the University of Agricultural Science and Technology, the farther away from there the better."

Cui Zheng froze for a moment, put down the camera, and looked back at Ge Zongnian.

"What about you, teacher?" Ran Wenyu frowned and asked.

"I'll stay here." Ge Zongnian's gaze softened visibly when he turned to Ran Wenyu, and he raised his hand to rub the curly hair of his beloved disciple, "Although we successfully injured Xing Zhicai with Egyptian powder, I can't guarantee that , Will it take revenge on us after it recovers? I need to stay here and observe its movements—if it learns its lesson, that’s all. As long as it doesn’t harm humans and just absorbs the vitality of the surrounding animals and plants, we will be fine. After all, it may be quite difficult to really kill Xingzhicai. Of course, if it wants to continue to harm people, I have to stop it."

Ge Zongnian's tone was flat, as if it was just a very simple matter.But Ran Wenyu, who has really seen the horror of Xing Zhicai, can feel the danger in it.

"I won't go!" His eyes widened, his face full of stubbornness, "This is too dangerous, I can't leave Teacher here alone!"

——Nonsense, walking is impossible, absolutely impossible.He continued to stay in the module just to learn magic. How could he leave his magic teacher in a dangerous place and run away alone?Although this arrangement is indeed safer, if he only considers safety, he can quit the module directly!

Ran Wenyu's expression was firm, and he even stretched out his claws to grab his teacher's wrist tightly, with a look of determination that he would not let go.

Ge Zongnian felt warm in his heart when he saw his little apprentice worried and tense, about to live and die with him. Being single for more than 40 years, he felt the beauty of being cared for and accompanied for the first time.The expression on his face became softer, Ge Zongnian tried to twitch his wrist, but he didn't dare to use force because he didn't want to hurt Ran Wenyu: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu. I don't know how many indescribable existences I have encountered, Xingzhicai is not the first one." , and it won’t be the last one, since I have found its weakness, I have the ability to deal with it.”

"Since the teacher can deal with Xingzhicai, then it's okay for me to stay." Ran Wenyu was unmoved at all, "Although I don't know magic yet, at least I can help the teacher with a flashlight to limit Xingzhicai action!"

Ge Zongnian persuaded him a few times, but Ran Wenyu refused. In the end, Ge Zongnian still couldn't hold back his beloved disciple and chose to compromise.

At first, he hoped that Ran Wenyu would leave because he was worried that some accident would happen to him, but as a big boss who has struggled through mysterious incidents until now, Ge Zongnian was indeed confident that he could protect him safely.

"Forget it, if you want to stay, then stay." Ge Zongnian sighed and looked at Cui Zheng again.

Cui Zheng didn't wait for him to speak, and raised his hand to interrupt: "Even Xiaoyu has stayed, so it's even more impossible for me to leave! You know my temper, and I won't do anything if I don't see the end of the matter." I won't be willing to leave here." He smiled and called "Xiaoyu" after Ge Zongnian very familiarly, "Since I want to stay here to monitor Xing Zhicai, then I'll go buy some camping supplies."

While talking, the three of them crossed the creek again, Cui Zheng continued to walk forward, while Ge Zongnian found a relatively flat boulder, lifted up his windbreaker and sat down carelessly, and then took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket Laying beside him, he waved to Ran Wenyu: "Xiaoyu, come."

Ran Wenyu silently glanced at Ge Zongnian's obviously expensive clothes, and then looked down at his outfit that definitely didn't cost more than 500 yuan, with a particularly tangled expression.
