Please charm this NPC

After announcing the departure of the ship, Yang Hongliang went to the captain's room to fulfill his duties as the captain, while Yue Dongmei and Kang Jian stayed behind and watched as Abel completed his report and signaled that the other two bodyguards could move freely. Go straight to Ran Wenyu, hold his hand, and interlock his fingers.

Yue Dongmei secretly clenched her fists, trying to hide her excitement by tensing her expression, while Kang Jian squinted, then silently looked away, always feeling a bit unable to look directly at the dog food of the two men.

"What are you doing?" Abler ignored Yue Dongmei and Kang Jian, not intending to greet them at all, and looked down at Ran Wenyu with a gentle tone.

Ran Wenyu looked at his two little friends with some embarrassment, subconsciously twitched his hands, but he didn't twitch, so he had no choice but to give up: "It's nothing, I met a few new friends and I'm chatting with them."

Abler narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he gave the other two people present a look.Being stared at by Abu Le, Yue Dongmei and Kang Jian only felt their hairs stand on end, as if they were being targeted by some large beast, alert, repulsive and dangerous.

——Obviously, the taciturn and indifferent man in front of him doesn't like to see his partner having fun with other men or women.

Such a huge pressure, even Yue Dongmei, who was addicted to sugar, couldn't bear it, so she just found an excuse and left in despair. As for Kang Jian - he ran faster.

Seeing his teammates scattered like birds and beasts after Abler's arrival, Ran Wenyu felt a little helpless, and couldn't help but glared at the man beside him who was happy because he was alone smoothly: "What are you doing? Why did you drive my new friend away?"

"... an eyesore." Abler wrapped his hands around Ran Wenyu's body, holding him in his arms, his tall body slightly arched, his chin resting on Ran Wenyu's shoulder, and he rubbed against Ran Wenyu's shoulder as if to please him, "You are with me this time For honeymooners, when I'm not around, they can accompany you to entertain you, but now that I'm here, they will naturally leave."

Ran Wenyu was really speechless for such a domineering tone of course.He pushed Abler's big head away: "Okay, if you want to accompany me, just take me around on the boat. I've been watching the sea just now, and I'm tired of watching it."

"Okay." Abler chuckled, hugged Ran Wenyu's shoulders, and led him into the cabin.

After a short stroll, it was time for lunch.Lunch is in the form of a buffet, and the form is relatively relaxed. After everyone took their favorite meal, they sat together in twos and threes, chatting.

It has to be said that this time the investigators' identities are arranged very carefully, and there is one person for each side.Yang Hongliang sat with the crew and chatted about interesting things that happened during the voyage; Ran Wenyu sat with the bodyguards, and was teased by them with Abu Le with deep feelings; Kang Jian sat next to Dr. Tan, like a well-behaved chick Aberdeen; Yue Dongmei and another assistant joined forces to ask about Li Yunfei and Ronghua's situation.

"Why didn't Mr. Li and Mr. Rong come over for dinner?" Yue Dongmei cut her veal steak and looked at the male assistant sitting opposite her. Her voice was neither too high nor too low, but it was enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear. Clearly.

Hearing Yue Dongmei's question, the investigators cooperated and looked over, with puzzled and concerned expressions.

The male assistant noticed everyone's gaze, so he stood up and smiled apologetically: "Everyone, I'm sorry, Mr. Li and Mr. Rong are not in good health. They are tired from the journey and have been resting in the room. They won't come to the restaurant to accompany them at noon. Everyone has eaten, please forgive me."

Everyone was not surprised by the male assistant's words. After all, Li Yunfei and Ronghua used the excuse of being unwell as soon as they boarded the boat.

Yue Dongmei frowned, and her expression became more and more worried: "Since Mr. Li and Mr. Rong are not feeling well, why do they go out for a trip? Although it is an important anniversary, health is more important!"

The male assistant sat down again and sighed: "I tried to persuade you in the same way, but Mr. Li insisted very much. We can only obey the leader's wishes."

Yue Dongmei also sighed pretentiously, and then turned to look at Kang Jian's table: "Doctor Tan, are Mr. Li and Mr. Rong's health really suitable for such a long-distance trip?"

Dr. Tan, who was questioned, stopped eating and raised his head, allowing Ran Wenyu to finally see his appearance clearly.

Doctor Tan has a handsome face and a bookish air, and his every move is quite crisp and neat.He was wearing a white casual clothes, with a clean and refreshing smell, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a gentle smile.

Ran Wenyu narrowed his eyes slightly, always feeling that the other person had a feeling that he was quite familiar with, and he seemed to have met him before, but he couldn't figure out where he had seen him.

Wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin, Dr. Tan nodded slightly at Yue Dongmei: "Assistant Yue, don't worry, I just went to their room to check, and Mr. Li and Mr. Rong are fine. You also know that their recent visit The quality of sleep has not been very good for a while. Although I have been prescribing drugs to help them sleep, the effect is not great. Due to lack of sleep, they are very prone to fatigue, but this is not a big problem, as long as you pay attention to rest That's enough." After a pause, he chuckled, "This trip is also to relieve the pressure on the two gentlemen, maybe if you go out for a walk and relax, your insomnia will improve."

"...I hope so." Yue Dongmei softened her expression and thanked Dr. Tan.

After this conversation, the restaurant became quiet again, and everyone quickly finished their lunch, or went back to their rooms to rest, or continued to pass the time on the yacht.

It takes about a day and a half to drive from the port of departure to the small fishing village, and the destination can be reached in the evening of tomorrow.The first day of the trip should be considered calm, and nothing strange happened, it should be time for the investigators to get familiar with the yacht and several NPCs.

Since Li Yunfei and Ronghua stayed in their rooms the whole time, they didn't even show up for dinner, so the investigators didn't find any chance to get their hands on the scarf, and they could only get together again full of regret.

——Yes, Abler, who has been guarding Ran Wenyu's side, finally left with two other bodyguards to conduct a routine check before going to bed, and at the same time discuss the order of duty at night, so Ran Wenyu finally has a place where he can get along with his teammates free time.

"Your boyfriend is simply too fierce." Even Yue Dongmei, who loves CP, couldn't bear Able's strong possessiveness.Although the appearance of this pair together is really eye-catching, she still remembers that she was in the running group module, the crisis was imminent, and the most reliable companion was forcibly occupied by NPC at such a critical moment, unable to communicate with them in time. Communication, which really distressed the investigators.

Ran Wenyu shrugged his shoulders and gave Yue Dongmei a helpless look.

"Forget it, time is tight, let's stop gossiping." Taking a deep breath, Yue Dongmei stopped complaining and got to the point, "Li Yunfei and Ronghua seem to have made up their minds to stay out of the room, and this is not an option. Do you have any suggestions? ?”

"How about we sneak in while they are sleeping at night?" Kang Jian suggested, "I discussed it with Brother Yang. He has the keys to all the cabins and rooms, as well as the rooms of Li Yunfei and Ronghua."

"This is indeed a good idea, but the problem is that they suffer from insomnia." Ran Wenyu shrugged his shoulders, "Can you confirm that they won't wake up when you sneak in?"

Kang Jian silently threw this suggestion aside.

"In addition, Dr. Tan's reaction at lunch today made me feel that he is also a breakthrough. Apart from Li Yunfei and Ronghua, he is probably the only one who knows the truth best on this ship, and these three people have obviously reached an agreement. Consensus on keeping secrets." Putting the issue of the scarf aside for now, Ran Wenyu changed the subject, "Kang Jian, you are his assistant, did you gain anything today?"

"No." Kang Jian drooped his shoulders and shook his head, "This Dr. Tan seems to be on vacation. Do you know what he did all afternoon?" Looking at his teammates, Kang Jian almost wanted to complain , "He just lay on the deck chair and watched the sea view all afternoon! He didn't move at all!"

The other three showed speechless expressions—investigators like them who know nothing about the current situation are most willing to see NPCs running around, maybe they can provide them with some information, and like Dr. Tan This kind of person who regards himself as a background board is the most difficult to obtain information.

"Sister Yue also said that he was someone who needed attention before, so I stayed by his side cheekily and tried to chat with him." Kang Jian looked unlovable, "He looks very gentle and patient, but in reality But he was very cold, I was rambling, and he didn't give me much response, which made me talk to myself, so embarrassing to death." At this point, Kang Jian suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Brother Ran, I think he seems to be paying attention to you."

"How to say?" Ran Wenyu immediately became vigilant and asked about Kang Jian's specific situation.

Kang Jian scratched his hair: "I didn't want to strike up a conversation with him, did I have nothing to say? The topic naturally revolved around this boat and the people on board. I chatted with him about Li Yunfei and Ronghua, and his reaction was flat; Sister, he didn't even respond at all, and then I talked about Brother Ran, you and Abu Le." After pondering for a moment, as if to further confirm his judgment, Kang Jian nodded as he said, "He is indeed interested in you, He even asked me a few questions about your situation. I don't know much about you, so I just sighed that your relationship is particularly good, and he showed a kind of... It seems to be a very playful smile. "

After listening to Kang Jian's narration, the other three investigators fell silent.

After a while, Yue Dongmei looked at Ran Wenyu: "What should I do? I think my initial guess seems a bit reliable? I heard that you have a good relationship, and he smiled playfully. He must be thinking of you."

Ran Wenyu didn't know how to refute Yue Dongmei's words.

In short, when Abler returned, the investigators still did not discuss the reason.After all, this is a real-life running group. Everyone can't bear the cruel fate of being torn apart before the plot officially unfolds. They can only act cautiously under the premise of ensuring their own safety.

After Abler arrived, the investigators dispersed again.Abler watched the three leave one after another, frowned slightly, his eyes flashed brightly, then eased his expression, and looked at Ran Wenyu: "You have a good relationship?"

Hearing the slight jealousy in Abel's tone, Ran Wenyu coughed dryly, and immediately coaxed: "No, we just have nothing to do, let's get together and chat."

Abler obviously didn't believe Ran Wenyu's words, but he didn't question his lover. After all, it was rare to come out to play together, and he didn't want to waste precious time on meaningless quarrels and suspicions—not to mention, tomorrow is Ran Wenyu birthday.

Probably due to the pressure in his heart, or due to the night patrol task, this night, Abler did not make any hints to Ran Wenyu, but directly hugged him in his arms, and fell asleep peacefully .

Being hugged to sleep by a man for the second time, Ran Wenyu quickly got used to this way of falling asleep, adjusted his posture with ease, and fell asleep.

Ran Wenyu's sleep quality has always been very good. Basically, as long as he falls asleep, he can sleep until dawn.But this night, he woke up inexplicably, and immediately heard KP's voice: [Now, please listen to it on a difficult difficulty. 】

Ran Wenyu was shocked.

KP: [Listening test: Ran Wenyu, 60/1, great success. 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

The previous module had a great opening, and he saw the enlarged version of Xia En directly, which made him jump in fear. This time, it was almost a great opening success, and Ran Wenyu once again had a bad premonition.

However, no matter how much he rejected this great success, the voice still reached his ears extremely clearly.He heard the sound of the waves, the sound of the sea wind, and a slippery, sticky crawling sound, as if it was close at hand.

This kind of voice seemed to be directly engraved into Ran Wenyu's brain, and there was no way for him to ignore it.He felt the hairs all over his body stand on end, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up.

Abler, who was embracing him when he fell asleep, was nowhere to be seen. He should have left the night watch, and the part of the bed where he slept had long since lost its temperature and become cold.

No.1 stayed in the dark room, listening to that disgusting and strange voice, Ran Wenyu hoped that Abler would appear immediately and continue to hug him like never before.

Taking a deep breath to wake up his brain quickly, Ran Wenyu tried his best to judge the direction of the sound.

He originally thought it was the voice in the corridor, but after listening carefully, he found that it was not coming from the direction of the door, but...

Ran Wenyu turned his head abruptly, looked at the porthole, and immediately met a pair of eyes that gleamed with dark light.

A huge, almost human-sized thing is lying on the outside of the window, peering in.Due to the extremely dim light, Ran Wenyu couldn't see its specific appearance clearly. He could only see that it resembled a human being, with four limbs, smooth skin, and even reflected the brilliance of the moon.

On such a pitch-black night, seeing a pitch-black monster lying outside his window suddenly could become one of the most unforgettable psychological shadows in Ran Wenyu's life.He was covered in white sweat from fright, and forced to hold back the "shit" that almost came out of his throat, trying to maintain calm.

KP: [Seeing an unknown mythical creature, please pass a sanity check with a penalty of 0 for success and 1D6 for failure. 】

Ran Wenyu looked at the monster, not daring to look away. At the same time, he slowly stretched his hand under his pillow, holding the small knife for self-defense.

KP: [Sanity check: Ran Wenyu, 51/78, failed, sanity reduced by 1D6=4. 】

The only good thing is that before going to bed, in order to prevent Ran Wenyu from getting sick from being blown by the sea breeze, Abler deliberately closed and locked the windows of the room to completely isolate the monster from the outside.

The monster probably didn't want to break the glass and disturb other people, but just kept lying on the window, staring at Ran Wenyu with a cold, evil, and salivating gaze, and even stuck out its long, slippery tongue, looking at the cold window. There was a disgusting water stain on the face.

KP started to cast secretly, and even cast secretly twice, which made Ran Wenyu's heart beat like a drum and his palms wet with sweat—to be honest, he was more worried about KP's moth than the monster lying outside the window.

Fortunately, after the secret vote, nothing happened.

After staring at Ran Wenyu for more than ten minutes, the monster finally withdrew its unblinking gaze, slightly bent its limbs holding the window, and then jumped backward nimbly.

Ran Wenyu only heard the slight "plop" sound of objects falling into the water, and then there was only silence.

The author has something to say: Hey, I see that many little angels have already guessed who the "protagonist" of this module is, so I won't make a fool of myself and let them appear www

After all, it is also a relatively famous monster in the Cthulhu mythology, and it is also the monster I encountered when I first came into contact with the Cthulhu running group. Anyone who knows a little about the Cthulhu mythology will know their names, right wwww I didn't think I could hide it for long, but I didn't expect Chapter 2, or even Chapter 1 to be accurately guessed. I really feel that there are a lot of big shots hidden in the comment area...
