Please charm this NPC

When I opened my eyes again, the sky was already bright.Ran Wenyu lay on the rock for a whole night, feeling sore all over his body. He grabbed the rag covering his body and sat up stiffly. Before he had time to observe the surrounding environment, he heard KP's friendly greeting: [Good morning~]

Ran Wenyu looked confused, and subconsciously replied: "Morning, good morning."

KP: [Since you are awake, please take a physical examination now to see if you will get sick after wearing wet clothes and blowing the sea breeze all night. 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——Hehe, I knew that there must be nothing good when KP greets you!

KP: [Physical test: Ran Wenyu, 40/69, failed.Unfortunately, the environment last night was too harsh for you. After one night, you found yourself suffering from a very bad cold. 】

After KP finished speaking, Ran Wenyu sneezed heavily suddenly, and suddenly felt that he had a stuffy nose, a headache, a fever all over his body, and was extremely uncomfortable—it was really a bad cold for a second, unambiguously.

In an instant, Ran Wenyu turned from a cheerful investigator to a limp little cabbage, and Ran Wenyu sniffed, looking at the top of his head with a particularly resentful gaze.

Sensing Ran Wenyu's deep resentment, KP coughed dryly and fell silent.

Giving KP a severe (?) reprimand with his eyes, Ran Wenyu snorted, stopped struggling, and instead climbed up from the stone top-heavy, wrapped in cheesecloth, and looked around.

The sky was too dark last night, coupled with being exhausted and under control, Ran Wenyu had no chance to check this cave at all, and now he found that it was really quite big.

His current location is relatively close to the entrance of the cave, and there is still a long way to go in. However, due to insufficient light, the inside is dark, and the specific situation cannot be seen clearly.

The cave is extremely quiet, and there is no deep diver. It stands to reason that it should be a good time to escape - after all, the cave is not far from the reef beach. If the water quality is good, you only need to swim for about ten minutes to get out of trouble.But this short distance is as difficult as a natural moat for Ran Wenyu.

——As the saying goes, "Too many skills don't overwhelm your body", it is indeed a wise saying. Now Ran Wenyu has really realized the importance of swimming.

Sighing deeply, giving up his plan to drown himself, Ran Wenyu cleared his throat, and called out cautiously: "Hello! Is anyone there? Is anyone there?!"

His voice reverberated in the cave, obviously the pitch was not high, but under the blessing of layers of echoes, it was extraordinarily loud.

After a while, Ran Wenyu heard a slight sound of water, and then saw a black figure sneaking to the side of the stone where he was, poking his head out.

It was a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s, with a dull, expressionless face, and a pair of dark eyes that were bulging and bulging, and seemed to have lost the ability to blink.His facial features have also undergone considerable changes, his nose has become flatter, his forehead and chin have shrunk back, making his lips appear thicker, and on both sides of his neck are strange, deeply sunken folds that are moving slightly, already The appearance of fish gills.

However, although the changes have been quite large, there is still a faint shadow of prosperity on this face, which makes Ran Wenyu have a particularly weird sense of absurdity.

"You are... Ronghua?" Ran Wenyu looked at the man and confirmed it.

The man's dull eyes moved slightly, and his face twitched a little, as if he wanted to show a smile, but failed in the end: "Yes, I am Ronghua, it's really hard for you to recognize me."

Ronghua's voice is rough, with some weird accents, and I don't know if it's because he originally spoke like this, or it's also due to a mutation in his body.

"Although I only met you once, since you disappeared, Mr. Li has been looking at your photos and thinking about others, so I am quite familiar with you." Ran Wenyu never showed any strangeness about Ronghua's change, and he had no fear Not to mention rejection, such an equal and natural attitude really made Ronghua relax a little.

Ronghua didn't respond to Ran Wenyu's hint about Li Yunfei, he just lowered his head, took a few fresh fish that were still alive and kicking in his hand, flipped his thin nails slightly, and then skillfully cut open the live fish and removed the internal organs, Only the crystal white fish remains.

"Eat." He said succinctly, and handed the fresh fish that twitched from time to time even without internal organs, in front of Ran Wenyu, with a dull tone.

Ran Wenyu swallowed, always feeling a fishy smell blowing over his face, making him slightly nauseous.However, he did not reject Ronghua's kindness, he took the fish stiffly and put it to his mouth.While comforting himself, he would treat it as Japanese sashimi, while opening his mouth and biting down.

——Well, after taking this bite, it really left a fragrance on the lips and teeth. Ran Wenyu found that the fish tasted like barbecue, and it also had the aroma of cumin.

After finishing the fish in two or three strokes, Ran Wenyu felt that his hungry stomach was more than satisfied.He burped lightly, thanked Ronghua sincerely, and then greeted KP cheerfully, completely forgetting the resentment that the other party "made" him ill: "Thank you, big brother, for your help!"

——After the jelly-flavored black liquid, he tasted the barbecue-flavored sashimi, which is really good!

Seeing Ran Wenyu who was coaxed into a smile by a few fish, KP chuckled, "You're welcome."

Ran Wenyu and KP had a pleasant exchange, but Ronghua was stunned by this thank you.

Seeing that Ran Wenyu happily ate up a few fish without any embarrassment, he couldn't help but doubt the other party's taste: "Don't you think it's unpalatable?"

Ran Wenyu blinked, and found that his performance was a little OOC, and immediately came back: "Although it is indeed a bit unpalatable, but I don't have any other food to eat now, right? Instead of being sad like swallowing medicine Eat it, it’s better to think of it as pure sashimi—speaking of it, you rich people may not think it, but for ordinary people like us, Japanese food is still quite expensive.”

Hearing what Ran Wenyu said, Ronghua couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, revealing an expression similar to a smile.I have to say, compared to deliberately laughing when we first met, such a smile from the heart is obviously easier for Rong Hua, who is currently stiff-faced.

"You are really an optimist." Rong Hua sighed softly, "This is very good."

Ran Wenyu laughed and shrugged his shoulders.

Unfortunately, such a relaxed atmosphere did not last long.Soon, Ronghua's restrained smile became dull and gloomy again: "Do you know your situation now?"

"I only know that I was controlled by the sea monster and brought here by it." Ran Wenyu sighed.Although he has learned all the causes and consequences through KP, as far as his current role is concerned, he obviously shouldn't know so clearly, so Ran Wenyu didn't show it.

"You have been chosen as a partner by sea monsters." Ronghua also didn't mean to hide anything, and said bluntly, "No, it's not appropriate to call it a partner, it should be just a mating object." Speaking of "mating object", Ronghua's eyes became more and more serious. Gloomy, it seems to hide deep hatred, "The sea monsters will select a group of humans to mate every once in a while, give birth to mixed-blood bastards, and throw them on the shore to fend for themselves. Once these bastards survive, It will gradually begin to change after decades, or it will not be able to accept its dirty blood, and it will go completely crazy; or it will fail to transform, and spend the rest of its life in a half-man, half-fish posture; or it will be completely transformed into a sea monster. Abandon yourself as a human being."

Hearing Ronghua describe himself as a mixed race with such cold and vicious words, one can imagine his loathing and hatred for deep divers.

"So... you mean, I was taken away by the sea monster, and I was forced to... mate with it?!" Although he knew about it a long time ago, Ran Wenyu still showed an expression of extreme shock and disbelief.

"Yes, what an ugly and cruel creature." Ronghua sneered, seeing Ran Wenyu's distraught and panicked appearance, his tone was slightly gentle, with a bit of gentle comfort, "You are a good boy, this is definitely not you What you should go through, don't worry, I will help you escape."

Although he had already made up his mind to get the other party's assistance after realizing Ronghua's existence, at this time he didn't mention a word, Ronghua took the initiative to extend a helping hand, which really made Ran Wenyu very grateful and had to be sincere He sighed with emotion, "He is really a good person."

Li Yunfei is a good person, and Ronghua is also a good person. This pair of good people should not have a tragic ending.

Ran Wenyu has run the group for countless times, even if he entered the real-life running group module, he has always clearly distinguished the player from the NPC, and the joys and sorrows of the NPCs are just stories that have been set long ago for him , although he participated in it, he didn't have any empathy.

However, after all, he is also a normal person who has received orthodox education since he was a child. Ran Wenyu's three views are barely correct, and at least he knows how to repay him.Now that he has received Ronghua's favor, he must pay back one or two.

Anyway, trying to get a better ending is also one of the goals of the investigators to keep moving forward, isn't it?

"Thank you." Ran Wenyu stared at Ronghua, and once again thanked Ronghua solemnly.

Ronghua waved his hand casually, signaling that he doesn't need to mind.

"I'm still in the degeneration stage, my body is very unstable, and I'm no match for sea monsters, but you..." Ronghua glanced up and down Ran Wenyu's small body, and then at his cheeks flushed with fever, "You Probably even I can't beat it. So, we still need to think long-term about how to escape."

"Speaking of which, how many sea monsters live in this cave?" Ran Wenyu pondered and asked, looking for the strength of the enemy.

"At present, I have only seen five of them. As for whether there are others, I am not sure. After all, it has not been a few days since I was brought here by them." Ronghua replied frankly, "Although I am here I have been very obedient since I came here, but they are always on guard. They don't allow me to go too far, they only allow me to go around the nearby reef beach, and when I leave the cave, there will always be a sea monster in charge Spy on me. So sorry, I can't find your companions and tell them where you are."

In this regard, Ran Wenyu is not surprised. After all, these deep divers have intelligence not inferior to human beings, and it is certainly impossible for them to escape easily.

Ran Wenyu frowned, trying to find an appropriate and reasonable way to escape, but he and Ronghua, fighting against five deep divers, were bound to lose.

Seeing Ran Wenyu's preoccupation, Ronghua moved closer to him: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let them humiliate you, even if it takes my life, I will send you away safely."

Ronghua's tone was very flat, with disregard for his own life, Ran Wenyu was startled, and immediately looked up at him, frowning in disapproval: "Actually, even if the sea monster wants to do something to me, I'm not the one who got pregnant in the end, although It's a little disgusting, but it won't take your life, there's no need for it."

Ronghua's eyes widened, and he was taken aback by Ran Wenyu's words.It's just that before he could speak, he was taken a step ahead by the equally astonished KP: [You can accept mating with a deep diver? 】

"I don't know if I can accept it." Ran Wenyu sought truth from facts, "But since there is no need for physical contact, it should be okay? At worst, it's like having a disgusting nightmare." After a pause, he scratched his little Curly hair, Ran Wenyu continued, "Of course, maybe this thing is more terrifying than a nightmare, but I believe that you, KP, will protect me, right?"

Ran Wenyu's words made KP feel excited, and he was gratified that Ran Wenyu's psychological quality was so strong that he was able to calmly think about being outcast, and the object was a monster like a deep diver who made people lose San; and he was happy that the other party was so strong Believe in yourself, rely on yourself.

Having been hit so many times, KP finally saw the dawn of hope at this moment, and KP simply wondered if he had hallucinations like humans.

Then, in the next second, he heard his little cutie Shi Shiran add: "After all, KP, you are quite humane. In order to prevent players from encountering unacceptable and direct collapse situations, you have given a lot of benefits to players. For example, painless death, pudding black liquid, and grilled raw fish. Even if they are attacked by deep divers, they should be converted into a more harmonious version, right?"

KP: 【…………………………】

——It was downgraded from "lover benefits" to "player benefits" in a second, life is really ups and downs.

KP silently turned off the mic without giving any promises, which really made Ran Wenyu a little uneasy, deeply suspecting that the flattery he just had just failed to shoot well, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong.

However, the situation did not allow him to think too much. After KP autistic, Ronghua followed closely: "Believe me, it is not just disgusting, it is torture that normal human beings cannot bear. My mother died because of this back then." madly."

"I think my psychological endurance is quite strong." Ran Wenyu smiled, "In short, it's not worth your sacrifice. President Li is still waiting for you to go back. Your life is not meaningless. Don't give up on yourself so easily."

——Since he wanted to work hard to give Li Yunfei and Ronghua a better ending, Ran Wenyu had to persuade Ronghua who ignored his own life and had the will to die.

Ronghua was startled, he didn't seem to think that Ran Wenyu would still think about him and Li Yunfei at such a critical moment, and he couldn't help being equally moved.

Raising his hand, Ronghua touched his gradually deformed and uglier face, with deep grief and self-loathing in his sluggish eyes: "If he sees the ghost I look like now, he probably won't wait for me anymore. gone."

"It's just what you think. How do you know that Li always cares about your appearance?" Ran Wenyu suddenly leaned forward and grabbed Ronghua's hand.

Ronghua's hands were cold and greasy, but Ran Wenyu's palms were burning hot because of the fever.The contact of two completely different temperatures shocked both of them.

"Don't take it for granted to impose your own ideas on others. Only he knows what Mr. Li thinks best." Ran Wenyu's voice was firm, and his eyes were full of strength. "At the very least, you have to give Mr. Li a choice." Opportunity, isn't it? Anyway, you have already made up your mind to give up your life now, so it doesn't matter if you take a gamble? If Mr. Li treats you as before, you don't give him a chance to express his heart to you, just die, Wouldn’t it be harming others and yourself, missing the happiness at your fingertips, and dying in vain? And if Mr. Li really can’t accept your current appearance as you think, and escapes and retreats, not only can you die without worries, but you can also die in vain. Helping Mr. Li to let go of this relationship, Mr. Li may find new happiness in the future, it's better than spending your whole life worrying about you, unable to let go, or even just going with you, right?"

After Ran Wenyu poured down this bowl of poisonous chicken soup, Ronghua was filled with emotions and couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

KP: [... How about this, you have to persuade? 】

Ran Wenyu: "...For the sake of my bowl full of poisonous chicken soup, give me a reward dice?"

KP chuckled: [Okay. 】

KP: [Persuasion check: Ran Wenyu, 40/31, successful. 】

Ronghua suddenly smiled, and held Ran Wenyu's warm paw with his backhand: "You're right." His tone was serious, as if turning the clouds to see the sun, "I gave up my life and stubbornly thought that Yunfei would not accept me again, just because I was too much I am timid, afraid of being hurt, so I just run away from myself, but this is not fair to Yunfei. No matter how Yunfei looks at me, I always have to give him an explanation and draw a full stop between us from beginning to end. "

Hearing Ronghua's answer, Ran Wenyu nodded repeatedly, his eyes sparkling.

Obviously, one of the two is young and beautiful, the other is old and ugly. They are like angels and devils in opposition, but at this moment when they look at each other and smile, they seem to be very harmonious and affectionate.

The author has something to say: At the end of the writing, there is always the illusion that Mr. Li is going to be NTR by Ran Ran... It must be my rotten eyes watching Renji OTZ
