Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Chapter 186: Kaminou Ryoko

Liu Xing and Yin En exchanged a glance, knowing that the man in the mask was likely a high-ranking member of the Dark Willow Gang.

The high-ranking member of the Dark Willow Gang also seemed to notice Liu Xing and Yin En and turned to look at them.

Liu Xing noticed that this high-ranking member of the Dark Willow Gang was not young; the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were very pronounced, and his temples were gray.

Seeing this, Yin En seemed to have an idea and immediately said to KP Li Shunchan, "KP, I want to use an inspiration on this member of the Dark Willow Gang."

Yin En, 26/70, succeeded.

This time, KP Li Shunchan only provided information to Yin En, so Liu Xing could only nod towards the high-ranking member of the Dark Willow Gang to show friendliness.

The high-ranking member of the Dark Willow Gang saw that Liu Xing and Yin En meant no harm and simply turned and walked away.

"Liu Xing, if everything goes as expected, this person should be Hirose Sakura's father, Kojima Kanto, the top enforcer of the Dark Willow Gang," Yin En said to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow. In fact, when Yin En decided to use the inspiration judgment earlier, Liu Xing had already guessed this, but to play his role well, he pretended to be surprised and said, "What? That person we just saw was Kojima Kanto? Why would he come to Godless Shrine today? Could it be that the information about Mian Gu Lu was revealed by the Godless Shrine's deity?"

Yin En shook his head uncertainly and said, "There's a possibility, but it seems like Kojima Kanto didn't recognize our identities. That means the Dark Willow Gang hasn't figured out that we rescued Mian Gu Lu yet. We still have time to gather information."

As Liu Xing and Yin En continued to talk, they quickly arrived at Godless Shrine. However, the moment Liu Xing stepped into Godless Shrine, he felt an inexplicable and mysterious energy swirling around him, making him feel more energized and clear-minded.

Liu Xing frowned; it seemed that the Godless Shrine was not ordinary. It could harness such mystical power. It appeared to be a family of wizards or a Yin-Yang Master family with the unique characteristics of the Island Nation.

At that moment, a shrine maiden suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xing and Yin En, and Liu Xing could tell that she was extremely powerful just by looking at her.

According to the setting of this module (Fog), an NPC's strength was determined by their appearance. The shrine maiden in front of Liu Xing surpassed Sawada Yinyin in terms of appearance and had an extremely voluptuous figure. Liu Xing believed her charisma had reached 99, the peak of human attractiveness.

Of course, this shrine maiden might not be human!

Thinking this, Liu Xing focused and prepared himself for any potential charms the shrine maiden might unleash. He didn't forget the time when he was manipulated by a legally-aged loli in a certain module.

"Why have you come?" the shrine maiden asked coldly as she approached Liu Xing and Yin En.

Liu Xing swallowed hard to moisten his dry throat and replied, "Dear deity, my friend and I have just arrived in Ziwu City. We heard from a local friend that Godless Shrine is very efficacious, so we came to pay a visit."

Liu Xing glanced at Yin En, hoping he would continue, but to his surprise, Yin En had turned into a blubbering mess, staring at the shrine maiden with a hint of liquid at the corner of his mouth.

MMP.

Liu Xing couldn't help but curse inwardly. Yin En, who had always been reliable, was now failing miserably. This shrine maiden appeared to be an aloof goddess, and Yin En's current appearance would only disgust her. Even if you're a reincarnated Killer Demon, Yin En, it won't help...

Thinking this, Liu Xing decisively took a step forward, bumped into Yin En with his shoulder, and positioned himself in front of Yin En, hoping to give Yin En a chance to salvage their image in front of the shrine maiden.

However, the shrine maiden shook her head and said, "Hmph, honesty is the best policy. It seems neither of you is willing to tell the truth. There's nothing more to discuss. Please leave; Godless Shrine does not welcome you."

Liu Xing furrowed his brows, realizing that this shrine maiden was indeed not ordinary. She could detect their lies without even using a psychological assessment. It seemed like she possessed telepathic abilities.

Thinking this, Liu Xing decided to tell the truth and take a gamble. But at that moment, Yin En finally regained his composure and said seriously, "Deity, let me be honest with you. We encountered the legendary King Tindalos's daughter and the urban legend Killer Demon last night. So, we came to Godless Shrine seeking help."

Liu Xing looked at Yin En, wanting to say one thing: Yin En, can you please wipe off the drool at the corner of your mouth first?

However, the shrine maiden did not seem to mind Yin En's behavior and questioned with suspicion, "What? You actually met King Tindalos's daughter as the legends say? Does this mean that King Tindalos's daughter has been transported to the Future?"

Liu Xing noticed that the shrine maiden was surprised by the appearance of King Tindalos's daughter but showed no interest in the Killer Demon. This confirmed Liu Xing's suspicion that the shrine maiden knew something about the Killer Demon's origin and identity. He became more certain that the Killer Demon was Ziwu City's Great Hero, Sawada Tomohiko.

Upon hearing the shrine maiden's inquiry, Yin En proceeded to recount the events of last night and even mentioned Eldritch God Taketori.

Liu Xing had initially wanted to stop Yin En from revealing all the information, as he still couldn't be sure if this shrine maiden was an ally or if she was associated with the Dark Willow Gang. However, when he saw the seriousness on the shrine maiden's face, he realized that even if she were allied with the Dark Willow Gang, it wouldn't matter. After all, the shrine maiden was incredibly beautiful.

This is trouble.

"Hehe, Liu Xing and Yin En, you should have realized by now. You have been charmed by Kaminou Ryoko. Now you can choose to undergo an extremely difficult willpower test to break free from Kaminou Ryoko's charm."

Liu Xing sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected to be charmed by Kaminou Ryoko despite being on guard. As for the extremely difficult willpower test, he had no illusions about his chances of success.

Liu Xing, 69/16 (80), failed.

Yin En, 18/17 (85), failed.

Having failed the willpower test, Liu Xing and Yin En helplessly watched as "themselves" revealed all the information about Mian Gu Lu to Kaminou Ryoko, including Chen Wenbin's address.
