Reborn NPC: I'm really not the protagonist!

"........."

Hill was silent for a while. It was midnight, but the sky was not gloomy. On the contrary, the weather these days was very clear and it didn't rain. But the girl in front of him... felt wet, and there was a mark of water under her body, as if something was crawling and touching the ground.

Sure enough, there is something weird everywhere...

Hill was a little confused, but he could only bite the bullet, move forward, and smile: "It's okay, I just..."

[Cursed: Luck permanently reduced by 2 point...]

[Cursed: Luck permanently reduced by 2 point...]

"........" Hill stopped talking halfway.

My goodness, I only have four points of luck in total, and they were all deducted before I could finish a sentence?

Fortunately, my level is not high at this time, and my main attribute cannot be negative, otherwise I would be in huge losses!

You know, in "Sanctuary", every attribute is very important. Warriors also need intelligence, priests need agility, not to mention luck!

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she relaxed with some pain. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she suddenly froze.

The girl was holding a pitch-black cat in her arms!

Her cat...is not lost yet!

Hill only felt as if a thunder suddenly sounded in his head.

Now it is certain that this girl is definitely a prerequisite for the hidden quest, but... her cat is not lost yet! What should I do?

Should I just ignore it? No! I have already lost four points of luck. If I give up now, wouldn’t it be a waste! ?

Thinking of this, Hill immediately regrouped, forced out a kind smile, and walked up to the girl: "I just... want to be friends with you..."

"!!"

As soon as the words fell, the girl suddenly opened her eyes.

It seemed that she couldn't recover from the sudden surprise. After a while, she happily hugged the cat and moved in front of Hill, getting very close to it, revealing its cute face and wet hair.

"You, you are the second person today who is willing to be my friend..."

The girl was very happy and took the cat in her hand to Hill: "This is the first one! Mr. Cat..."

Her voice was soft, and there was a feeling of pity for her.

"Oh..." Hill ignored the mud in the girl's sleeves and the retracted tentacles, took the cat, and looked at the black cat silently.

How long have you been missing?

However, the cat was not to be outdone, staring at Hill closely, as if on guard against an opponent, and made a cute "meow~" sound...

Hill silently returned the cat to the girl and said softly, "My name is Hill, what's your name?"

"I..." The girl was stunned, and then her eyes suddenly lost their luster. She slowly squatted down and murmured: "I, what is my name... I don't know... I..."

“Crash….Crash….”

As the girl whispered, the originally star-studded shadow was suddenly covered with a dark cloud!

Heavy rain suddenly fell.

Wow....It's too weird...

However, Hill's mentality has not completely changed. In her subconscious, she still regards herself as a player.

"Since, in this case," she thought for a moment and decided to comfort him: "Shall I give you a name?"

"?" The girl was stunned, but suddenly she was no longer confused and raised her head curiously.

Hill was seen holding up his coat to block out the rain.

She smiled slightly and looked at the girl: "How about calling you...Xiaoyu?"

"........."

The girl tilted her head in a strange way, but then she suddenly laughed happily and nodded quickly: "Yeah!"

"Then Xiaoyu, you..."

Hill also figured it out. Since the girl's cat was not lost yet, he could only wait for the cat to be lost.

In order to ensure that you receive this task as soon as possible, it is necessary to establish a relatively friendly relationship with the girl!

"Ahhh!!"

However, just as she opened her mouth, Xiaoyu looked behind Hill in horror and screamed in panic.

Hill narrowed his eyes, turned around abruptly, pulled out the dagger bought from the grocery store from his arms, and became extremely alert.

But in front of me, there is nothing...

"They...they are coming again..."

Xiaoyu huddled in the corner in fear, holding her head tightly, and the tentacles under her cloak also shrank into a ball, as if she had seen something terrifying.

Hill frowned, looked at Xiaoyu, then looked behind him, but still saw nothing...

She just felt strange, and the next moment, the abnormal status bar suddenly lit up.

[Obtained: Haunted by Ghosts]

[Haunted by a ghost: Learning efficiency reduced by 100%, experience gained reduced by %, luck reduced by ! ]

[Introduction: Is there something around you? Where is it? ]

"!!!"

Hill understood it all immediately!

It seems that Xiaoyu is the so-called "psychic" who can see ghosts!

In this game, there is a kind of monster that most players cannot see or touch. Unless they learn special skills or receive the blessing of certain NPCs, they can come into contact with this kind of monster.

Of course, these monsters won't drop anything good, and they're also scary. Apart from completing quests and getting achievements, almost no player would choose to rely on monsters to grow, of course, except for those who run haunted houses and the undead...

However....

Looking at his status bar, Hill couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

These ghosts really don’t know where they are working?

Didn’t you see the cross on the shirt?

That's right, after all, these things seem to be looking for Xiaoyu...

She thought about it. On the one hand, she was a little afraid that if the plot didn't go as planned, the hidden mission wouldn't be triggered. On the other hand... seeing Xiaoyu's frightened look, she felt a little sorry...

"Xiaoyu..." Finally, Hill squatted down and looked into the girl's eyes seriously: "Do you want me to... help you drive them away?"

"???" Xiaoyu, who was crouching with her head in her hands, looked up in confusion, looked at Xi'er's indifferent face, and accidentally glanced behind her... and quickly buried her head again.

After a moment, he nodded slightly.

[Instant Task: Help Xiaoyu drive away the ghost that is harassing her! Accept/No]

In an instant, a task window popped up in front of me.

Hill smiled. It seemed that actively looking for NPCs to trigger tasks was still feasible. The next step was to drive away the ghosts!

"Shh!"

She pulled off the necklace around her neck, and the cross that was glowing faintly was pulled out.

[Metal Cross Decoration (Blessing): Reduces the resistance of non-entity units by 30%.]

In addition, there is another positive status in Hill's status bar: [Goddess's Blessing (Holy Light) 13 hours and 22 minutes....]

This was the benefit of her previous work as a church worker, where she had to pray to the goddess every day!

[Goddess's Blessing (Holy Light): Increases damage to dark creatures by 5%, and damage to non-physical units by 100%! ]

As special existences in "The Sanctuary", ghost creatures themselves are not very strong. At most, they can only give players some debuffs, but there are many restrictions to eliminate them.

It was not until the third week after the game was launched that players who had gotten used to the game found the best way to deal with ghosts from every detail of the game - prayer!

That’s right, a life skill that all players initially have. At the very end of this skill, it is simply mentioned that it can drive away ghosts.

But in the game, there are no hints!

Therefore, it was not until the third week after the server was launched that it was widely discovered by players.

Not only that, in "Sanctuary", the small details everywhere hide extraordinary stories and inspirations. In short, there is nothing Sanctuary cannot do, as long as the players can't think of it! This undoubtedly shows the ambition of this game!

After making all the preparations, Hill hugged the cross tightly with both hands, lowered his eyes, knelt on the ground, and started praying!
