After completing the investigation of another dangerous location, the druid knocked on the door of Ran's psychotherapy room with the envy and resentment of the players in line.

You don't necessarily need psychotherapy every time, but you must not let go of the relationship (favor) with Rann.

Rann is worthy of being an NPC suspected of being an evil god, and his opinion is quite difficult to brush, and the druid has the highest opinion among all players so far, but it is only 15 (acquaintances).

Not to mention the other players, even if they get in front of Rann every day, their favorability can be torn between negative and single digits.

(Ran: Would you like to think about what you do every day?) ）

Although he knew that this favorability was most likely inherited from the previous character card, it did not prevent the druid from being proud of this and often poking on the forum, and then admiring the incompetent and angry faces of Ranne's wife fans.

The door to the psychotherapy room opened from the inside, and to the druid's surprise, it was neither Rann nor Ogel, who had met several times before.

It's Carmen.

An NPC that a druid hasn't met yet, but has met several times on the forums, or to put it another way, a Potions Shop NPC...... The younger brother!

The current Potions Shop NPC was found by chance by the Diao Min team, and according to the Potions Shop NPC, the man who was saved by Rann was a real Potions Master! At present, the potions that players can buy are low-level common potions, but this Potions Master can make A-class potions!

It's a pity.,Those high-level potions are not open to players.,The forum speculates that there are some special opening conditions.,Anyway, players in the early stage must not be able to access such high-level potions.,Otherwise, it will affect the balance of the game too much.。

However, this does not prevent the druids from pressing the purchase conditions of high-grade potions in advance! If they really guess, they will definitely continue to have an advantage in the later stages!

The druid's eyes were too hot, and Carmen tilted her head in confusion: "Hello, do we know each other?" ”

The druid came back to his senses and smiled, "I don't know, I don't know, I'm here to find Dr. Ranne!" ”

"I know, please come in." Carmen said softly.

In order to protect the patient**, only one person can enter the psychotherapy room at a time, and the players in the back are blocked out of the door with a sad face.

As soon as the druids entered, they noticed that the atmosphere seemed to be different from the previous ones.

A few times before, Rann was sitting in a chair and wearing a white coat, just like an ordinary psychiatrist, but now Rann was standing behind his desk with his back to him, as if faintly signaling that something was coming.

The Potions Master stood respectfully in the shadows beside Ran, an attitude that made the druid's mind move and think of something for a moment.

Diao Min's team guessed correctly, Rann really went that time to subdue this person!

So, is it true that as long as he brushes Rann's favorability, it is equivalent to brushing Potions Master?

"When the plague came, they started anyway." Rann chuckled, "Whenever there is no end to human stupidity and fanaticism, the outcasts chase the phantoms. ”

The druid was stunned, reacted quickly, and quickly turned on the screen recording.

Rann turned, his green eyes now darkened in the dim light, and the look fell on the druid, almost taking a step back.

The feeling of oppression on his face made the druid instantly return to that hospital, that ward, and they almost forgot about Rann's 'gentle' image in front of the player all along.

It's not some friendly and harmless psychiatrist NPC in front of you.

He is an unknown evil god, an indescribable horror.

The druids didn't realize that the corners of their mouths had risen somewhere.

[Will appraisal...]

"Andrew, I've seen your growth these days," Rann said with a smile, "and it's time for this set of keys to be handed over to you." ”

Only then did the druid notice the keychain in Ran's hand, and his little heart was beating uncontrollably.

Could it be ...... That copy is finally open?

The druid stepped forward and stretched out his hand, expecting Rann to let go of the key and let it fall into his palm, but it didn't, and the druid looked up in surprise and looked at Rann with a meaningful look.

"Taking away this set of keys means that you have accepted another fate, are you ready?"

The druid didn't say anything, he had already made his decision clear with his movements, and raised his hand to take Rann's hand along with the set of keys.

At the same time, the quest hint rang in his ears.

[Main Quest: Approaching Arkham's Shadow.] 】

[Act I: The Secret of the Late-Night Hospital]

[Objective: Investigate the Night Hospital.] 】

[Number of people who receive the mission: Unlimited.] 】

[Task rewards: 1w experience points, 200 free attribute points, 10w vid dollar rewards...... After the completion of the main quest, rewards will be distributed according to the player's contribution at different stages. 】

It worked.

Rann curled the corners of his mouth.

The first stage of the main quest was successfully activated.

This means that he does have the ability to directly interfere with the player's progress, and more importantly, the fourth natural scourge will be fully involved in this event.

……

【Grass and grass and grass 】

In the forum, when the video reached this paragraph, the barrage was all fried.

[Don't touch my wife's hand, qwq, I haven't touched a corner of my clothes! ] 】

[Grass, druid, you kid is definitely taking this opportunity to touch your little hands! ] 】

[Ahhhh 】

[Where is the arena of this game, I need the deathmatch function, official, you'd better get to know each other (sharpening knives)]

[Hey, my wife's little hands hey]

[Didn't you see the druid just now, when Ran's wife was so scary, this kid was actually laughing, I thought you were his believer. 】

[I've long said that something is wrong with this druid. 】

That's all for the video, but the amount of information revealed in this short video ignites the enthusiasm of the players...... and rage.

In fact, the rest of the players are not so stingy, and the reason why they denounce the druid on such a large scale...... It's purely that this kid is too cheap!

Like now, the druids are jumping up and down under the video stickers he opened.

Druid: Hey, do you see this Ran, guess what, my favorability is the highest (proud

Druid: Well, I don't have to wait in line every time I come for psychotherapy, and I feel guilty about going through the back door...... But cool is really cool.

5l: I owe it too much, I owe it too much, how can there be people in the world who owe so much.

6L: The fist is hard.

7l：…… I didn't want to talk, but I was so cheap that I decided to run up and say something. Druid, you're rejoicing too soon.

Remember the speculation in the previous forum post, the druid kid has such a high opinion rating, maybe it's because he has become a pawn in Ran's plan.

You think about what Rann said earlier, 'Plague has come, and they have begun. 'It's obviously the opening of a big event!'

8l: I think so, this is a sign of this, I think Rann had expected this day before, so he was already preparing for it.

Druid: It doesn't matter, I'm happy hehe.

9l：……

10l：……

11l: Alright, let's skip that topic. At this time, I just want to @ Black Cat Boss, big guy, come on, the first stage of the main line you said before has really appeared, and the prediction has succeeded again!

Black Cat: Thank you, thank you! Hehe, the main quest has finally opened, and I also took the quest for the first time, and it is worth mentioning that Rann can not only receive the investigation of the hospital at night, but also the investigation outside the city! Now it's certain that the two forces of Rann and the Outlanders are starting an all-out war!

Black Cat: And from what we've gotten so far, the Outlander's goal may be to open the door to the Land of the Gods, which could have unpredictable effects on Arkham and the people who live in Arkham, and could cause the destruction of Arkham or something.

Black Cat: And the purpose of Ran's side is unknown, so far it should be a hostile relationship with strangers, in short, this main line everyone look at it, I was just joking that maybe the two evil god forces fought, but I didn't expect it to really start (laughs and cry.)

15L: Eh, we don't have a choice, now everyone in the game is pouring into Ran's side to take on the mission, and I can't even drink soup anymore.

Black Cat: Grass, I'll just say why the number of replies is so small, you wait for me!

That's right, when the druid sent out the video, the slow response was still on the water sticker, and the fast response was already on the way to the psychiatric clinic.

Hundreds of people blocked the door of the psychiatric clinic, but luckily Rann had the foresight to bring Karlens and Carmen in advance, and now the two of them are standing outside like a god, surrounded by chattering players to take over the task.

In addition to the hospital quest previously assigned to the druids, there is also an quest near the outskirts of Arkham, and the two quests are biased differently, which is enough for players to release their energy.

When the players had basically taken the task and blended into the crowd again, Cullens finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he have time to think about what he had just been told to do.

Karens looked at Carmen, who was next to him to receive the player, who seemed to be a Kamui ethnologically, and Karens had little impression of this wandering people, who were said to live in seclusion and would not stay in a city for long.

Was this the first time he had seen this man at Rann, and had he added a new believer?

At this time, Carmen also finished receiving the player, looked over to him, and smiled kindly in his direction.

In the face of other people's smiling faces, Cullens is not easy to show him, and the current atmosphere is quite harmonious.

After almost no players came, Cullens turned and walked into Rann's psychotherapy room, a pile of questions piled up in his head.

Rann was sitting upright behind his desk, writing and drawing on paper with a pen, when he saw Cullens come in and looked up at him, "Here we are." ”

"Lord Rann," Cullens asked respectfully, "are we going to war with the Outlanders?" ”

"Go to war...... Well, sort of," Rann, "by the way, you don't know, this organization has been raising plans for decades

The stroke is almost complete, and then the whole of Arkham will be swept in. ”

"Worst-case scenario, Arkham disappears from the map."

Karens's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Carmen, only to find that his face was calm, and it was obvious that he had known about it for a long time.

"Then our goal is ......"

"Naturally, it's to stop them," Rann smiled, and then as if he remembered something, he said lightly, "Oh, I almost forgot to say, I've already investigated, and the mastermind behind the previous banquet was also a stranger. ”

Banquet......

Of course, Cullens will not forget that night that could change his life, his hanging hands clenched into fists, and his voice was hoarse: "Then the former leader ......"

Rann nodded, acknowledging his guess, "I'm afraid they threatened the former leader of Black Poker and killed him after the trap was set, because he was no longer useful to them." ”

Cullens closed his eyes and took a slight breath.

Regarding the former leader of Black Poker, Cullens has mixed feelings about him, before the banquet, he has always had a very good impression of the leader, because it was the leader who promoted him from the bottom of the horse, but after knowing that he was given up by him at the banquet, Cullens has already written off so many years of love.

But that doesn't mean that the Black Poker Society is still being used by other forces, and it's unlikely that he'll be watching them do anything to the city.

"Lord Rann, is there anything else I can do?" When Cullens said this, there was murder in his eyes, and he already had the momentum of those gangsters in the movie.

Rann curled his lips slightly: "I have a list here, I need you to check it, these people are probably the patrons behind the strangers." ”

The list he gave was the one that Archie's father had recorded, and although he didn't know how useful the list had been over the years, he was willing to do anything that could cause trouble to strangers.

Now that you have torn your face and started a war, it is etiquette to use all the methods that can be used.

"Also, if my people ask you for help, you can help them as much as you can."

Cullens nodded, "Yes, I understand. ”

"And ......" Rann hesitated a little, saying this felt like it seemed to have a little impact on his evil god personality, but thinking of the possible disaster in the future, that little hesitation was left behind without thinking for half a second, "If that time comes, let the residents near your black poker organization retreat." ”

"Yes...... Well? As soon as Cullens responded, he suddenly reacted to what Rann had said and looked up in surprise.

Rann still had the same expression that couldn't see the depths: "Is there a problem?" ”

"Nope." Cullens was just a little surprised that the proposal to save people would come out of the mouth of the evil god.

He couldn't help but wonder if there was a reason for this that he didn't know. For example, these Arkham residents may be useful to Rann in the future...... In short, he doesn't really believe that the evil god will have the idea of saving people, and the word "saving people" is completely incompatible with the existence of the evil god!

Rann didn't know what Cullens was thinking, and after telling him, he waved him away.

The arrangement of the player and the black poker side has also been completed, and the rest depends on the result.

……

At the same time, somewhere on the outskirts of the city, there is a warehouse that is usually rarely visited.

"Dirk, it's time for a shift."

"Eh, I'm not tired, if you go beforehand, I want to continue on duty."

"Yo, what's wrong with you kid today? So positive? ”

The young man in the hat just smiled, but did not answer, and the man who asked him did not necessarily have the intention of answering, and after knowing that he could be lazy, he was already happy, and said with a smile: "Then I can go." ”

"Go, go!"

After the man left, there was only one young man in the hat left on duty in the warehouse, and he carefully glanced back at the patterns of the magic circle on the floor in the warehouse, and felt that it was not safe, so he wrapped it in cloth.

That should be fine, right?

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and then his mind became active, and he secretly laughed at himself for being too careful.

There may not be a single person in this place for a week, and their sect leader's plan is seamless, how can anyone come here to search without any trouble?

He left the warehouse, locked the lock, and began his duty for the day, when he suddenly saw a little girl crying on the road outside the warehouse in this direction.

The young man in the hat didn't plan to care, but thinking that if something happened later, this place might attract the attention of the police, so he let out a 'tsk' and walked up with a hypocritical smile: "Little sister, what's wrong?" ”

"I, I'm lost, my dad originally took me to the suburbs to play, but I got off halfway, I came out to play, and I didn't see him......"

The age of the little girl is about 7 years old, crying so much that people don't pity it, the logic in her words is confused, and the young man in the hat frowned, remembering that there is indeed a gas station near here.

"Remember your parents' phone calls?"

The little girl cried and shook her head.

The young man in the hat felt that it was troublesome, there was some distance from the gas station, but he could not leave the warehouse.

Call the police? But what if the traces in the warehouse are found......

The young man in the hat thought that he might ignore her ruthlessly, but the little girl suddenly said, "Uncle, can I borrow your phone to call the police uncle." ”

"I'm sorry, my uncle didn't bring his phone."

"Oh......" The little girl lowered her head, then quickly raised again, "Is there a convenience store around here?" I called the police uncle at the convenience store. ”

There is indeed a convenience store more than ten meters from here, and if you call from there, the police will definitely not be able to control this side.

"I know there's a convenience store, well, let's go, let's go and get back quickly." The young man in the hat decided not to waste any more time, and the warehouse door was locked, so that nothing would happen at this time.

The young man in the hat took the little girl's hand and left, what he didn't see was that behind his invisible back, the little girl turned her head, and the expression on her face that she wanted to cry or not faded instantly, and made a vague gesture in one direction.

After the player hiding not far away also responded to him, he approached the warehouse with his companion who had ordered the [Locksmith] skill with excitement, opened the warehouse door, and took out sulfuric acid, destroying the magic circle on the ground.

As the ground filled with a gut-wrenching sound and smoke, players were prompted by the system.

[Successfully destroy a node, contribution points +10]

When the hat youth returned, all that awaited him was the destroyed pattern of the magic circle and a wide open warehouse door......

And this example is not unique.

Rann remembered a lot of information after drinking the memory potion, and there were a lot of wreckage in the player forum in the previous life until Rann entered the game later, and some lucky players encountered some magic circles when they were doing research missions outside the city, because the main quest had not been activated at that time, and no one recognized what it was, but it did not prevent curious players from doing sabotage.

As a result, after the main quest was activated, these players who engaged in destruction gained a huge amount of contribution points, but unfortunately it was already in the late stage of Arkham destruction, and these lucky players were also very few.

Rann had sent the players a few nodes he remembered early on, and after that, he didn't have to worry about it, and after knowing what he could gain by destroying them, all the players went crazy and began to look for similar nodes with circles depicted.

This makes the strangers who have been hiding behind the scenes overwhelmed, and often the circle that has just been drawn is destroyed by the player.

The news passed through the layers and soon reached Sauron Hogg's ears.

In an abandoned church in the center of the city, Sauron stood on the steps and said in a sigh:

"Our plan was discovered."

Behind him, none of the higher-ups of the Outlander Order, who had been urgently summoned, spoke and looked at each other with suspicion.

"Why are there so few people coming?"

Amos took a step forward, bent down respectfully, and said, "There are quite a few people with status in the open society who have been tempted and warned, and it seems that their identities have been exposed. ”

"This shows that the enemy is familiar with us." Sauron looked at him, then turned to look at Albert, his eyes sweeping over the top of the Outlanders who had arrived, "Or maybe there's a traitor among us." ”

Those who are swept by his gaze either straighten their chests to show that they are not empty-hearted, or their faces are expressionless and do not see inner fluctuations.

"Do you need me to interrogate them one by one?" Amos stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Albert glanced at Amos vaguely, it was ridiculous, it was obvious that this guy was also hiding the thoughts of Erwuzai.

"No, I naturally have a way to tell the difference......" Sauron's voice gradually drifted away, "everyone, look me in the eye." ”

Albert's heart sank, what Amos had said before, the information about Sauron's endless methods immediately came to his mind, but now in this situation, he didn't dare to make any moves, so he could only raise his head.

In an instant, he was captured by those inky eyes, as if his soul was about to be sucked away, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.

I don't have a plan to leak, I don't have a plan to leak......

He was innocent, because Albert hadn't been accepted into the Outlander core by Sauron before this, otherwise he wouldn't have had to risk a deal with Amos.

He kept repeating in his heart, and he didn't know if it was useful, and time seemed to slow down indefinitely, and under those eyes, it seemed as if all secrets were hidden.

Finally, Albert heard a 'poof'.

The pressure around him dropped sharply, and Albert realized that he was already soaked in sweat, he turned his head stiffly, and saw the man next to him fall to his knees with a pale face: "I—I didn't mean to...... I didn't betray, I just accidentally ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, his skin suddenly became dry like a lack of water, like the texture of tree bark, and then, like twisting a towel, the whole person was twisted and fell to the ground.

There was a deathly silence around him, and Sauron's complexion became even worse, and he coughed quietly and said, "Okay, since it has been exposed, you can only plan ahead." ”

The scene was silent, only Amos was unaffected and said, "But if you don't have time......

"It's okay, I'll delay enough." Sauron said gently, "Okay, those magic circles are troublesome for you to rearrange, this time you must do it more secretively, it doesn't hurt to be rough with those people, use all your connections, be sure to set up the nodes." ”

"Yes." The crowd responded.

"Go, Albert and Amos stay."

Albert's freshly relaxed nerves lifted again. ：，，.
