Please charm this NPC

This sleep lasted the whole morning.When Ran Wenyu opened his eyes again, it was already lunch time.

With such a big incident on board, it is naturally impossible for Abler to sleep with peace of mind like Ran Wenyu, and has been patrolling with the other two bodyguards to prevent those monsters from boarding the ship again.Fortunately, Abler and the bodyguards are well-trained, even if they don't sleep for three or two days, they can still maintain strong energy.

After yawning, Ran Wenyu looked out the window subconsciously, and found that the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and one or two seabirds passing by occasionally, there was nothing strange, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

——I have to say that after what happened last night, I am afraid that the fear of windows will haunt Ran Wenyu for a long time.

After getting out of bed and taking care of personal hygiene, Ran Wenyu opened the door and walked straight to the restaurant.He planned to fill his stomach first, and then find a safe place with his friends to further discuss what happened last night.

When they came to the restaurant, most of the people were already awake, and they were gathering in twos and threes, eating quietly.At a cursory glance, the dining atmosphere in the restaurant is no different from before, but upon closer inspection, it can be seen that everyone is preoccupied and gloomy.

This is quite normal, after all, both crew members and assistants in the restaurant are employed by Li Yunfei and Ronghua.Now that half of the blue sky above their heads has collapsed, and the other side is also crumbling, everyone feels a crisis of unemployment that is close at hand, and the mood is naturally not much better.

It was probably because everyone was not interested in talking. This time during the meal, Yue Dongmei, Kang Jian and Yang Hongliang chose to sit together and chatted in low voices.Dr. Tan did not show up, and he should have stayed in the room to take care of Li Yunfei, who was getting weaker and weaker due to the shock.

Ran Wenyu took a dinner plate, picked up something casually, and walked to the teammate's table.However, not long after he sat down, the chef came to his side pushing a big three-layer cake.

When the cake appeared, there was a small commotion in the quiet and heavy restaurant. Ran Wenyu turned his head and looked at the beautiful and delicate cake, which exudes a sweet smell, which is enough to arouse everyone's appetite. He couldn't help being stunned His eyes widened.

Noticing Ran Wenyu's gaze, the chef pushing the dining car smiled at him: "Mr. Ran, happy birthday."

"Thank you, thank you." Ran Wenyu responded dryly, subconsciously stood up and got out of the way so that the chef could bring the cake to the table.

"You should thank Mr. Abler." The chef smiled, "Mr. Abler had obtained Mr. Li's consent before boarding the ship, and prepared a cake and birthday party for you, but it's a pity..." His expression was gloomy Come down, sighed softly, and lowered his voice, "It's a pity that something like that happened last night. Mr. Abler's careful preparation can't be realized now. I'm really sorry." After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the early Abel, who was walking into the restaurant after receiving the news, apologized again, "Please understand."

Abler nodded to the chef, saying that he would not mind. After all, judging from the current situation, even if there is a birthday party, no one is in the mood to participate.

After delivering the cake, the chef pushed the dining car away, and Abel came to Ran Wenyu who was still standing there stupidly, held his hand with one hand, and wrapped his other around his shoulder, and gave him a tender and loving smile. A guilty hug: "Originally, I wanted to take you to the sea to relax and celebrate your birthday on the boat, but now, there is only this cake, sorry."

"Being able to have cake... is already beyond my expectation." Ran Wenyu choked up, and said honestly, "Thank you for doing this for me."

Although as soon as he entered the module, he knew that his birthday was coming soon, but Ran Wenyu never took this matter to heart.First, this is not his real birthday. Second, in the Cthulhu mod, even survival is very difficult. How can he think about celebrating his birthday?

What's more, even in reality, birthdays are still quite far away from Ran Wenyu.

Boys don't care about all kinds of meaningful days more than girls. For most men with rough nerves, every day is the same, and there is no need to celebrate with great fanfare and mobilization.

When he was at home when he was young, his mother remembered Ran Wenyu’s birthday and would buy him a small cake to celebrate that day, but since Ran Wenyu went to college and started living away from home, the memory of his birthday became less and less memorable in his mind.

Ran Wenyu doesn't have any sincere friends, and he doesn't go out to celebrate with friends on his birthday. Even in order to avoid those who pursue him from giving all kinds of expensive gifts in the name of celebrating his birthday, Ran Wenyu has always kept his birthday a secret. No one ever told him about it—the only thing that reminded him of the existence of his birthday was the birthday red envelope sent by his parents in the family group, and the birthday celebration text message sent by the mobile communication operator.

This kind of life is not bad for Ran Wenyu. After all, he sometimes doesn't even remember his own birthday, and he doesn't have any special interest in sweet and greasy cakes.

However, looking at this three-layer cake now, and looking at Abler who clearly remembers celebrating his birthday no matter what the circumstances, Ran Wenyu is still moved and happy—for this moment of Abler to remember him Affection in the heart.

Even if it wasn't really his birthday.

Ran Wenyu's eloquence is not bad. After all, he is a game anchor. Whether his skills are good or not, the most important thing is to be able to talk, so that the audience can listen to it easily and happily while watching the game screen.However, at this moment, Ran Wenyu didn't know what to say.

Sweet words, it doesn’t matter what you say when you don’t care about it, because you don’t care at all, but when you really feel something and want to express your true emotions, words that are too sweet always make people feel ashamed and unable to express it in the mouth.

Ran Wenyu contemplated for a long time, but he couldn't find any words that could make him say it openly and fully express his thoughts and feelings at this time, so he could only silently stuff himself into Abler's arms and express himself with body language thanks.

Hugging his lover in his arms and keeping him warm for a while, Abler finally took the initiative to let go, rubbed Ran Wenyu's curly hair, cut the cake with him, and distributed the cake to everyone present.

Sweets are always pleasant, even if they were heavy-hearted because of what happened last night, everyone still showed relaxed smiles after receiving the cake, and sincerely said "Happy Birthday" to Ran Wenyu.

To be honest, it is really a novel experience for Ran Wenyu to share his cake with other people, and Abel who silently accompanied him made him finally feel like "I do have a boyfriend." " Realism.

——It was more real than the one-touch kiss last night without leaving any traces.

After all, it was in broad daylight and under the watchful eyes of the public, and Abler's movements were very restrained. Although he held Ran Wenyu's hand throughout the whole process, making no secret of the deep friendship between the two, he did not make any more intimate actions such as deep kisses.And this is also the reason why Ran Wenyu can naturally accept Abler's company.

Since there were still tasks ahead, Abler and Ran Wenyu hurriedly left after having lunch together, and continued to patrol the yacht, while Ran Wenyu had to face his teammates who were almost rolled their eyes by lunch, cakes and dog food alone.

Kang Jian and Yang Hongliang's eyes wandered, and they deeply felt as if they had entered a fake Cthulhu module, and the biggest problem they faced was not the horrible monster hidden in the dark, but came from their teammates, which almost subverted their love View dog food.

As for Yue Dongmei, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were shining brightly. She looked at Ran Wenyu burning hotly, eager to gossip and hear about the love experience between Ran Wenyu and Able in the last module.

Ran Wenyu took a deep breath, feeling that he must not let it go any longer.He ignored the abnormality of his friends, greeted them to the empty deck with a serious face, and went straight to the point: "I think, I should have guessed the main plot of this module."

Hearing Ran Wenyu get to the point, the other three investigators also became serious.

Yue Dongmei nodded slightly: "I almost know it too." She and Ran Wenyu looked at each other, and just wanted to exchange their guesses, but suddenly heard KP's warning about OOC.

Yue Dongmei & Ran Wenyu: "…………………"

"What should I do? I can't seem to tell." Yue Dongmei wiped her face.

"How about... I try to counter it?" Ran Wenyu said, because Yue Dongmei saw that he was an old player who had played the Cthulhu running team, and he explained half-truthfully, "I used an old card. So after the last mod, I got 14 Cthulhu Mythos skills."

Yue Dongmei's expression was shocked, but also with deep pity: "What did you go through in the last module? How did you get so many Cthulhu points?"

——After all, if you want to acquire Cthulhu myth skills, you must either read forbidden books, or go crazy when encountering mythical creatures. In short, it is not a good thing.

Ran Wenyu gave Yue Dongmei a look of vicissitudes of life back, and let her experience the brain supplement by herself.

KP: [Cthulhu mythology skill test: Ran Wenyu, 14/31, failed. 】

The success rate of 14% is indeed a bit low, so the failure is also expected by everyone.Ran Wenyu spread his hands helplessly, he could only pretend like Yue Dongmei that he didn't know anything.

As for Kang Jian and Yang Hongliang, well, they have always maintained a state of ignorance.

Since they cannot directly reveal the main line of the plot and the mythical creatures encountered, Ran Wenyu and Yue Dongmei can only sort them out based on the existing clues.

"First of all, we can confirm that Ronghua's disappearance is because he followed the monster to leave. Either he was bewitched by the monster's control, or he knew that he had to leave, so he acted on his own will." Ran Wenyu spoke first.

"It must be bewitched." Kang Jian immediately answered, "Last night Li Yunfei said that Ronghua has been troubled by a hallucination that lured him to the small fishing village. That monster must have lured Ronghua away through this method. .”

Ran Wenyu did not explain whether Kang Jian's speculation was correct: "Then, what we need to do next is to help Li Yunfei get Ronghua back. In order to achieve this goal, we need to further investigate why Ronghua was targeted by monsters, and what happened to him. What happened to the abnormality?"

"Yes, what Dr. Tan said last night is basically not credible." Yue Dongmei nodded, "No matter what kind of mental illness or fish gill moss, it is likely to be a fool. Li Yunfei said Well, he was the first to propose this trip to the sea. I don't believe it. I'm afraid Dr. Tan used some kind of psychological suggestion to lure Li Yunfei to propose it. Didn't he have studied psychology? Such an approach should be quite good for him relaxing."

Hearing Yue Dongmei talk about "psychological hints", Ran Wenyu was taken aback, and a figure suddenly flashed in his mind.

That person was always wearing a snow-white white coat, even when he was fleeing, he was spotless; that person wore gold-rimmed glasses, had a gentle smile, and a gentle and polite manner; Like a passerby on the sidelines; that person lured an innocent female director into paranoia through psychological hints, led the film crew into a dangerous situation arbitrarily, and caused one crew member to die after another—but that person, in After everything was over, he escaped easily and got away with it. He could even sit in a cafe and leisurely observe the police investigating the fake identity he had previously borrowed.

The more Ran Wenyu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the cabin, but suddenly met a pair of gentle and smiling eyes hidden under the gold-rimmed eyes.

Dr. Tan was wearing white casual clothes, spotless. He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his lips were slightly curled up, looking gentle and elegant.He obviously didn't do anything, but behind everything seemed to be his shadow. He was like a director who hid behind the scenes. He wrote the script, selected the actors, brought them to the appropriate scene, and watched them follow the script. Tell a great story.

Ran Wenyu's pupils constricted suddenly, and his heart beat extremely violently. He finally understood why he felt familiar to Dr. Tan when he first met him.

——Although that face is unfamiliar, the strong smell of a beast in Dr. Tan's body is almost the same as Xu Xianggan, the mastermind behind the second module!

His palms were wet with sweat, and Ran Wenyu felt a little unwell.However, facing Dr. Tan's friendly (?) eyes, he had to try his best to suppress his inner astonishment, curled the corners of his mouth, and gave him a polite and distant smile.

Dr. Tan received Ran Wenyu's response, his smile deepened a little, and he nodded slightly at him, then turned and walked back to the cabin.

Seeing Dr. Tan leave, Ran Wenyu's tense body gradually relaxed, and he exhaled lightly.

"What's the matter? Wen Yu? What happened just now?" Noticing Ran Wenyu's abnormally pale complexion, Yue Dongmei frowned, turned her head to look in the direction Ran Wenyu was looking at, but saw nothing.

"It's nothing. Dr. Tan just stood there and startled me." Ran Wenyu said vaguely, and didn't express his guess—because there was no need for it.

Even if he didn't say anything, Yue Dongmei and the others had already noticed Dr. Tan's anomaly and were extra vigilant towards him. Then Ran Wenyu's guess without any evidence and just a flash of inspiration had no practical significance.

However, although it is meaningless, if his guess is correct, then this "reunion of old friends" is really not a pleasant thing.
