Please charm this NPC

After learning about the "firm belief" of the four, Yackerman no longer concealed what he knew: "Because I broke away from the Hywell sect, I was alerted by the followers of Hawell, and I can no longer contact the sect's members." Things have happened. However, I know a person who will definitely be able to give you a lot of help."

"Who are you referring to?" Gao Ruihua asked.

"His name is Ophelia, and he is a reporter. Back then, I wanted to expose the evil face of the Highwell Sect to the world, so I sent news to many newspapers and periodicals. However, my efforts went nowhere, and some were treated as pranks. Some newspapers and periodicals sent reporters to investigate unannounced visits, but they were blocked by the townspeople and returned without success—only this Ophelia, he noticed the problem." Ackerman mentioned this Ophelia with a very respectful expression, "This gentleman is bold and cautious. He even went deep into the sect to find out the truth in order to further dig into the shady scene, regardless of his own safety."

"He joined the Highwell Sect?" Ran Wenyu frowned.

"That's right." Ackerman nodded, "Opheli is very powerful, and he was quickly reused by the sect and became one of the priests. It's a pity that after becoming a priest, Ofili's actions are no longer free. From then on, I never met Ofili again."

"If that's the case, can we really trust him?" Ran Wenyu said hesitantly, "The Highwell Sect is very mysterious, and you also said that the Lord it believes in has magical abilities, maybe this Mr. Ophelia It's been brainwashed."

"It's impossible!" Yackerman retorted loudly, with an angry expression, "I don't allow you to slander this brave gentleman! Ofili used to be a war correspondent, but he had to retire from the front line because of his injuries. He is brave and resourceful. , with a firm will and a strong sense of justice, it is absolutely impossible to join forces with the Hawell sect that sacrifices the living!"

Seeing that he had angered the NPC, Ran Wenyu immediately corrected his attitude: "Mr. Yackerman, please don't be so excited. I didn't mean to slander Mr. O'Felix! I'm just worried that this gentleman is hypnotized by the power of the evil god. Became a puppet of the sect."

After listening to Ran Wenyu's explanation, Ackerman eased his expression: "You don't have to worry about this, I can guarantee that Ophelia still has self-awareness. Not long ago, I received a note secretly sent by him—— —Although I don't know how Ophelia did it, I'm sure it's his handwriting." As he spoke, Ackerman took out the note that he had kept properly, and only wrote Two words: "HELPME".

Gao Ruihua: "His situation doesn't seem to be good."

"Indeed." Ackerman sighed, "I'm very ashamed, I can't help Ophelia, so I tell you his news, not only because he can help you, but also because I hope you can find him and will He was rescued successfully."

"We will do our best." Ran Wenyu agreed immediately, and asked Ackerman carefully about Ophelia's appearance. "However, the premise is that we can also successfully blend into the Hawell sect."

Gao Ruihua: "Mr. Yackerman, do you know about places like the assembly hall of the Highwell sect? Or if we want to join the sect, what should we do?"

"Sorry." Ackerman expressed helplessness, "As I said before, I was guarded by the followers of Hawell and could not touch anything in the sect. As for what I have learned, it was more than 30 years ago Things have changed, now everything has changed."

The plot progresses here and gets stuck again.Ran Wenyu and others asked Yackerman a lot of questions, but did not get any effective information, and finally had to say goodbye to the old man.

It was not too early, the four of them discussed and decided to suspend today's action and go back to the hotel to rest.

"Do you think Ofili is credible?" On the way, Gao Ruihua raised this question again.

"It's not clear at the moment, we can only be sure when we actually meet someone." Ran Wenyu shook his head.

"That Ophelia feels like a lone hero in an American blockbuster who saves the world alone." Ma emphasized.

"The module this time is in the United States, so it's not surprising that such a character appears." Ran Wenyu shrugged, "If you look at it from this perspective, then he should be trustworthy."

"Tomorrow, what should we do?" Liang Yu asked softly.

"I think we can 'visit' Freya's neighbor uncle." Ran Wenyu touched his chin, "Yakeman said that he has left the sect and doesn't know the current situation in the Hawell sect, so Now the only sect member we know of is that man."

"If we go to him, won't we startle the snake?" Liang Yu was a little uneasy.

"It's possible, so why don't we let the snake go?" Ran Wenyu blinked.

Gao Ruihua: "What do you mean?"

Ran Wenyu smiled slightly: "Disguise, this skill should help us."

That night, the four slept in the same room again.

Maybe it was because they didn't sleep well the previous two nights and were too tired, or maybe it was because they were almost used to this world. This time, the four of them slept very well, and almost fell into a dark sweetness as soon as they touched the pillows.

It's a pity that the wicked KP doesn't seem to want to see these investigators sleep so comfortably.

While half asleep and half awake, the four of them suddenly heard KP's kind voice: [Good night everyone, now please vote for a difficult listening. 】

The confused four:? ? ? ? ? ?

Realizing something was wrong, they woke up immediately, but their bodies could only remain in the sleeping position. The only thing that could move was their right hand—used to turn the turntable.

KP: [Listening test: Ma Qiang, 40/54, failed; Ran Wenyu, 60/48, normal success; Gao Ruihua, 50/41, normal success; Liang Yu, 50/23, difficult success. 】

Ran Wenyu: "Thank God, we still have a reliable one!"

KP: [Due to the difficulty of listening successfully, investigator Liang Yu can make an action. 】

Liang Yu's face turned pale: "I, what should I do?!"

"Call us all up!" Ran Wenyu without thinking.

Liang Yu immediately found the backbone: "Okay, okay, KP, I want to shout, 'Everyone wake up!'"

KP: 【...Okay, now invite the other three to go through another listening session with normal difficulty. 】

The other three: "........."

KP: [Listening test: Ma Qiang, 40/38, successful; Gao Ruihua: 50/25, successful; Ran Wenyu, 60/67, failed. 】

Ran Wenyu: "...Obviously my listening is the highest, but my face is so dark QAQ"

KP chuckled lightly: [Now, Gao Ruihua, Ma Qiang, and Liang Yu asked for a dodge to see if they could avoid the enemy's sneak attack. 】

Ran Wenyu: "What about me?!"

KP: [You are already cold, wait for the result. 】

Ran Wenyu: QAQ

KP: [Dodge check: Gao Ruihua: 30/68, failed; Ma Qiang, 60/3, great success; Liang Yu, 30/43, failed.As a reward for a big success, Ma Qiang can choose to help a teammate avoid an attack. 】

Unexpectedly, he was hit by a big success, Ma Qiang was very confused, and instinctively chose to protect the weakest one: "I, I will save Liang Yu!"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Qiang realized that his body was out of control, and he rushed to Liang Yu who was lying on his side of the bed with lightning speed, and pulled her off.

Afterwards, everyone saw that the wheel in front of them began to rotate automatically, as if an invisible hand was manipulating it.Soon, KP announced the result of his throwing point: [Gao Ruihua failed to dodge, was hit by Tentacle A, and lost 1D6=4 points of blood. 】

As soon as the words were finished, Gao Ruihua let out a scream, and was rolled several times by the tentacles that came out from the bottom of the bed, and a bleeding wound appeared on his abdomen.

Seeing this scene, Ma Qiang and Liang Yu were stunned, but Ran Wenyu was in no mood to care about Gao Ruihua's injury, because he was watching another huge tentacle roll towards him.

Just when Ran Wenyu felt that he was going to be cold, a dazzling light suddenly shot out from his chest pocket.The tentacle seemed to be hit by the light, and it let out a scream that made no sound, but made people feel a buzzing in the ears, and suddenly retracted to the bottom of the bed.

At the same time, the other three tentacles that had stretched out from under the bed also retracted at the same time, and the whole room returned to silence.

After a long time, the four of them finally came to their senses.Liang Yu sat on the ground exhausted, murmured and trembling: "It's over, is it over?"

KP: [Yes, this round of battle ended unexpectedly, investigators are really lucky.However, do a 1D6 SANCHECK before relaxing. 】

This time around Sancheck, no one refuted it, because everyone was indeed frightened by the huge black and sticky tentacles—or rather, they were disgusted.

Fortunately, the SAN value of the four did not drop 5 points at one time, and they did not enter a state of temporary madness.

Only then did the shocking crowd sit down and start dealing with the aftermath of the battle.

"Sister Liang Yu, try to give Brother Gao a first aid." Ran Wenyu patted his chest with lingering fear.

"Okay, okay." Liang Yu didn't have to worry about what to do if he couldn't give first aid now.She succeeded in the first aid shot, let her body uncontrollably take out the medicine box in the room, helped Gao Ruihua bandage the wound, and restored Gao Ruihua's health by 1 point.

This time the first aid was successful, which gave Liang Yu some confidence.She took a deep breath: "KP, I will apply for another medicine and continue to treat Brother Gao."

KP: [Medical test, 59/50, failed. 】

Liang Yu: "...Sorry, Brother Gao."

Gao Ruihua held his wound and smiled wryly: "It's okay, thank you very much."

Everyone slowed down a little, and finally got in the mood to recall the "battle" just now.

"I was just whipped by a tentacle, and I almost lost half my life. If it wasn't for the golden light just now, there would probably be a hard fight tonight." Ma Qiang smiled wryly, and looked at Ran Wenyu, "Xiao Ran, what do you have on your body?" ?”

Ran Wenyu touched the pocket where the golden light burst out, and then took out a wooden amulet from inside: "It's an amulet. Asham bought it for me, and said it was a souvenir of our acquaintance."

"Wow, this amulet is so powerful?! Where did you buy it? Let's go buy one too!" Ma Qiang's eyes lit up, and he leaned over to take a look, but he was a little disappointed. accessories."

"...This amulet seems to have changed a bit." Ran Wenyu frowned, and rubbed the lines on the amulet, "When I saw it before, I thought it was very exquisitely carved and a rare work of art, but now Look, it feels a lot rougher." Then, he handed the amulet to Gao Ruihua, "There should be some kind of protective power on it, but just now when that power was exhausted, it became an ordinary ornament."

Gao Ruihua agreed: "However, let's go to this jewelry store tomorrow. If we can still find amulets with such functions, our success rate this time will be much higher."

"That store is just on the street south of the central square. When we go to see Freya, we can drop by." Ran Wenyu nodded.

After KP assured that there would be no second attack tonight, the exhausted four fell asleep and finally spent their third day in this world.
