Please charm this NPC

Ran Wenyu was stunned to encounter the monster in this module without any warning, but he never expected that just when he accepted the reality, he planned to directly confront the monster and have a life-and-death battle—even When they were ready to be torn apart—this battle disappeared in an instant.

Such a rapid development with twists and turns made Ran Wenyu not come back to his senses for a long time. After he finally straightened out his thoughts, he hastily stood up straight and left Arthur's arms.

Faced with Asham's concerned inquiry, Ran Wenyu's mind changed rapidly.

He was sure that no one knew more clearly what happened in the study than Asham, otherwise the other party would not have knocked on the door of the study so coincidentally and scared the monster away.Then, under the premise that Atham knows everything, but "Unilworth Ran" knows nothing, there is only one most appropriate reaction for Ran Wenyu.

——A normal person will definitely be scared out of his wits when faced with such an unimaginable situation. He will tell the whole story of his experience without concealment, hoping to get help from others.

The fingers loosened weakly, and the extremely heavy desk lamp fell to the floor with a loud noise.Ran Wenyu grabbed Asham's sleeve, as if grabbing his only life-saving straw, his black eyes were full of water vapor, full of hesitation and panic, and his complexion was as pale as paper: "Weird, monster! There's a monster! It's right there—!" He raised his other hand and pointed to the corner where the purple smoke appeared, but found that there was no trace there, even the cyan slime dripping from the monster on the floor disappeared no trace.

Arthur followed Ran Wenyu's movements and frowned slightly: "What's there? I didn't see anything?"

His puzzled expression is equally real, and his acting skills are not inferior to Ran Wenyu.Ran Wenyu cursed "big pig's trotters" in his heart, and then raised his voice helplessly: "Just, it was there just now, it was there! Then it suddenly disappeared when you knocked on the door! You believe me! Really ! I was not mistaken! I am not lying!"

"Okay, I got it, please calm down." Asham tried to slow down his voice and comforted him softly.He stretched out his hand, encircled Ran Wenyu's shoulder again, pulled him into his arms, covered Ran Wenyu's head with the other hand, rubbed gently on the soft curly hair, and then half-forced his His face pressed into the crook of his neck.

Ran Wenyu immediately calmed down, curled up into a ball in Arthur's arms.

At this time, other people in the mansion were startled by the sound of the lamp falling to the ground, and they ran to the study one after another.Seeing the movements of the two, they stopped at the same time, hesitating whether to lean over to disturb them.

Arthur focused on comforting Ran Wenyu, and did not respond to the arrival of the others, and Ran Wenyu was frozen in the arms of the BOSS, and had no time to devote his energy to others.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and in the end it was Robert the butler who came over bravely, coughed lightly, and looked at the desk lamp that fell on the ground: "Doctor Arthur, Master Ran, what's the matter?"

Hearing the butler's inquiry, Ran Wenyu had a ladder to step down.He pushed Arthur away abruptly, looked at Butler Robert, grabbed his sleeve tightly, and repeated what he had just encountered in messy words.

Regarding Ran Wenyu's narration, Robert's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.He quickly glanced at the study room that was nothing out of the ordinary, then supported Ran Wenyu, and led him to the living room: "Where is there any monster? Master Ran, did you stay in the study room for too long and were too tired, and that's why you had hallucinations?"

"No, that's not right!" Ran Wenyu shook his head repeatedly, denying hastily, "I can see clearly, that monster is definitely not my hallucination! I can even smell the stench coming from it!"

"Master Ran!" Robert raised his voice, suppressing Ran Wenyu's argument.He put his hands on Ran Wenyu's shoulders and pressed him to sit on the sofa in the living room. He was obviously an old man, but his palms were full of strength, "Nothing weird happened in Prost Manor, this must be your hallucination !"

Ran Wenyu opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but was blocked by Robert again: "Okay, master, you must be very tired, please sit down and have a rest!" After finishing speaking, he turned to Emily, "Emily , go and make a bowl of hot soup for Master Ran!"

Emily, whose name was called, nodded quickly, then gave Ran Wenyu a worried look, and left in a hurry.

Afterwards, Robert looked at Ran Wenyu again: "Master Ran, drink some soup and sleep, you will recover soon, don't think too much."

Ran Wenyu realized that Robert was completely unwilling to believe his words, so he could only suppress his emotions temporarily, and lowered his head shivering.

Robert figured out what had happened, settled Ran Wenyu, and then left the living room, saying that he needed to report to the master, in case he heard the noise and felt uneasy.

Seeing him go upstairs, Augustus glanced at Ran Wenyu without a trace, and then showed a look of interest: "Is there a monster in the study? Then I will go to the study to see what is there."

Then, he also turned around and left the living room.

However, Augustus, who left the living room, did not go to the study, but followed the butler carefully up to the second floor.

As early as when Robert's expression changed slightly, Augustus used psychology on him, and came to the conclusion that "Robert Butler seems to have thought of something suddenly, with a little uneasiness in his expression."

Obviously, the butler must know some inside information. He left in a hurry, probably because he wanted to discuss something with Baron Silent.

Augustus tiptoed behind the butler, watching him quickly enter the room at the end of the second floor, and then closed the door.He leaned over and wanted to listen to the conversation between the housekeeper and Baron Slanter, but unfortunately the door had obviously undergone special treatment. Even if the listening skill was successful, he could only hear the vague conversation. Can't even make a sentence.

Augustus was a little disappointed.He didn't dare to stay at the door for too long, nor was he willing to leave, so he simply turned around and entered his room, hiding behind the door, wanting to see any noteworthy developments in the future.

Then, not long after, the butler left Baron Srant's room, passed through the corridor on the second floor, and went downstairs again.He was in a hurry, and he didn't even notice that the door of Augustus' room was opened. Augustus watched the housekeeper leave, hesitated for a moment, but did not follow again, but still hid in the house.

——He had a premonition that the matter was not over.

While Augustus was waiting upstairs, Ran Wenyu downstairs also saw Robert who had turned around.

At this time, he was wearing the blanket that Lisa sent over, holding the hot soup made by Emily, quietly nestling in the sofa.Asham sat beside him, soothing him softly.

Such a comfortable atmosphere eased Ran Wenyu's expression a lot, but his face was still dazed and dazed, like a weak lamb who had lost his way.

Ran Wenyu and Arthur's intimate gesture made Robert pause when he entered the living room.Afterwards, he quickly returned to normal, walked quickly to Arthur's side, and said in a low voice: "Doctor Arthur, the master has something to do, please go to his room."

Asham frowned slightly, as if a little displeased, but he still stood up, said "excuse me" to Ran Wenyu, and left the living room.

After a while, Augustus, who was guarding the second floor, saw Arthur through the crack of the door.

Asham also went straight into the room at the end of the corridor. Augustus waited for a while, and after making sure that Robert hadn't followed, he stepped lightly again, approached the door of Baron Slanter's room, and put his ear on the door. On the door.

This time, he heard a clearer voice, because Baron Silent was obviously very emotional and was reprimanding something loudly.Augustus listened intently for a while, and found that he seemed to be angrily accusing Arthur of being dishonest, and still questioning whether he wanted to break the agreement.

As for Asham's response, Augustus couldn't hear it at all. Obviously, this quarrel was just Baron Silent's unilateral venting.

Augustus listened for a while, but got nothing else.Baron Slanter should be out of breath, and would only growl those two sentences over and over again, scolding Arthur for his treachery.

Augustus gave up on eavesdropping, and cautiously went back to his room.

About a quarter of an hour later, Arthur passed by his door again. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he seemed to be as brisk and leisurely as ever, without the anger and depression that should be expected after a quarrel.

——Obviously, Arsham never cared about Baron Slanter's anger at all.

Then, the corridor on the second floor fell completely silent.Augustus also came out of the room and went downstairs.As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Ran Wenyu who had finished drinking the hot soup got up from the sofa and was planning to go back to the room to rest under the persuasion of everyone.

The two looked at each other at the door of the living room, and they both saw clearly the other's urgent desire to exchange information.Augustus stretched out his hand directly and supported Ran Wenyu: "Are you going back to rest? Let me see you off. I'm quite curious about what happened to you in the study. Can you tell me about it?"

Butler Robert frowned disapprovingly: "Master Tang, that was just an illusion!"

"Okay, butler, I didn't say it wasn't an illusion." Augustus shrugged his shoulders and replied casually, "It's just like listening to a story, it's quite interesting, isn't it?"

"Since you don't believe it, please don't mention this matter again. It will bring back bad memories of Master Ran and affect Master Ran's recovery." Robert's tone was rare and severe.

It's a pity that Ran Wenyu didn't buy into Robert's "concern", but immediately cooperated with his teammates: "It's okay, butler Robert, I wish I could have someone to talk with me. Leave me alone in the room , I would feel scared instead.”

Robert frowned, still a little dissatisfied, but Ran Wenyu and Augustus were willing to fight and suffer, and he had no excuses, so he had no choice but to let them go upstairs together.

When he came to Ran Wenyu's room, Augustus carefully looked outside the door, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he closed the door and moved closer to Ran Wenyu.

Ran Wenyu also changed his pitiful appearance of being terrified just now, threw the blanket on his shoulders aside, and burped freely - he just drank a large bowl of broth, and now he is almost exhausted.

"What happened in the study?" Since he was eavesdropping at the door just now, Augustus deliberately lowered his voice and asked in a whisper that only the two of them could hear.

Ran Wenyu touched his chin, and also replied in a low voice: "A lot happened, let me tell you from the beginning."

He took out the crumpled note from his trousers pocket, handed it to Augustus, and then told him how lucky he was, how he got the information about the violet stone, how the monster appeared, and how he was knocked on the door by Athem. He said a series of things quickly, such as walking in shock.

"This Asham must be the big boss behind the scenes! I don't believe that if someone else comes in, that monster will escape as well!" Ran Wenyu was categorical.

Augustus nodded thoughtfully, and also shared the information he learned when he was hiding on the second floor.

"The so-called 'successor assessment' this time is just a pretense of the collusion between Baron Slanter and Arthur. They invited us to the Prost Manor, half-forced us to stay in the study, and suddenly appeared The monsters in the study—I guess, we are just targets to protect Baron Slant from disaster." Augustus analyzed.

Ran Wenyu agreed: "The monster suddenly appeared in the study where Baron Slante often stayed, and its target must be the baron himself. As for Baron Slant who suddenly moved the room and refused to leave the room even after we arrived, it should be There is something tricky in that room that can prevent the monster from detecting his location. The monster can't find the baron, so we who have been staying in the study and have a blood relationship with the baron are very likely to be mistaken for prey by the monster— —Even, something has been done to us, so that the monster confuses us with the baron."

"Today, a monster appeared, and you were alone in the study. This is a good time to complete the plan for the two of you. However, Arthur suddenly appeared and saved you." Augustus shrugged, " It's no wonder that Baron Slanter was furious, and he directly broke his face with Asham."

"Then, why did Arthur do this?" Ran Wenyu looked confused, "Why did he save me?"

"...Because he took a fancy to you and planned to let you be his medical assistant?" Augustus made a joke, and then got a supercilious look from Ran Wenyu.

Ran Wenyu believed that Asham was uneasy and kind, and was not afraid to speculate on the other party with the greatest malice. Naturally, he couldn't figure out why the other party suddenly changed the plan that was going smoothly, and even turned against his collaborator, Baron Silent.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply put the matter aside and continued to analyze the plot: "Speaking of which, I seem to know the monster of this module, it should be—"

Next, Ran Wenyu couldn't say anything, and it was obvious that KP was preventing him from spoiling again.

Ran Wenyu scratched the little curly hair in annoyance, and then gave Augustus a pause gesture: "Wait a minute, I can't tell you the specific situation of the monster yet. I need to pass a Cthulhu Mythos skill, if If it succeeds, it should be revealed.”

"Okay." Augustus was a little dazed, watching Ran Wenyu turn the dial blankly.

KP: [Cthulhu mythology skill test: Ran Wenyu, 14/37, failed.Combining all the clues, you feel as if something is flashing through your mind.It's a pity that this inspiration passed away so quickly that you couldn't grasp it at all, and could only let it slip through your fingers. 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

Augustus: "……………………"

KP: ^_^
