Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.
Chapter 23 The Heirs
Now, Bai Xi has to think about a very serious problem.
It's not surprising that a lawyer like Layton, who deals with wills, is a person of high status and receives formal treatment.
Although Stoffey, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, is annoying, he is still the heir, so of course he will receive guidance from the people here.
As an envoy of the Serpes Order, no one from the manor came to pick me up. And who the hell is Nyarlathotep?!
Why is there such a huge difference between people?
And what about the promised Shoggoth-level dungeon?! Where the hell did Nyarlathotep come from?!
Her name is Naitis, who told you she's Nyarlathotep?
A serious reminder from KP rang out, while Baek Hee rolled her eyes.
I don't believe a single word you said!
In the Cthulhu Mythos, Nyarlathotep is an extremely special Outer God. He is the messenger of Azathoth, the god of all gods, but he has a strange "bad habit".
If the relationship between Outer Gods and humans is like that between humans and ants, then Nyarlathotep is the one who observes the ants.
He even rubbed a shrinking potion in his hands and played with ants.
That's absolutely outrageous.
Moreover, Nyarlathotep is known as the God of a Thousand Faces because he has no theoretical body, but possesses countless incarnations walking on the earth.
And so, Nyarlathotep became a part of the world. Among Nyarlathotep's many portrayals, one particular image is quite popular.
A handsome man with dark skin, a cheerful smile...
Bai Xi raised his head, glanced at Natis in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on again.
You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, still claim you're not Nyarlathotep!
Although I don't know why Nyarlathotep turned into a beautiful girl this time, do you think I won't recognize you just because of this!
The most basic elements haven't changed at all! A mere gender reassignment surgery? How could I not recognize him? The inherently evil Nyarlathotep, I, on behalf of Serpes, will annihilate him…
Oh, wait, I can't beat this guy. Let's just wash up and go to sleep. Forget the investigation and trial, let's split the bags and go home. The Serpes Order is doomed anyway.
Bai Xi's lips twitched as he looked at Natis, overcome with sorrow.
Although Nyarlathotep's incarnations have the biggest gap between their upper and lower limits among the Outer God incarnations, they are still Outer God incarnations no matter what!
Just as Bai Xi was starting to panic, he heard Natis's voice again:
"Hello?"
Natis beckoned and asked again, seemingly curious about Bai Xi's prolonged silence on his question.
"White. Lawrence White."
Bai Xi quickly reached out, forcing a smile as he replied:
"Her name is Jiang."
Jiang Lingyi quickly exchanged a glance with Bai Xi, sensing the same sentiment in their eyes.
There's no hope. Just wait to die.
Heaven knows what kind of amusement Nyarlathotep has discovered here. But whatever the amusement, it certainly isn't anything good.
He might even be the mastermind behind it all!
"Jiang and Bai?"
Natis pondered the two names, then smiled:
"I've got it."
No, no, no, you'd better not remember it!
Just thinking about being targeted by Nyarlathotep's incarnation sent chills down Bai Xi's spine.
"Oh, by the way, did you two just arrive for the funeral today? Perhaps you're still finding it a little difficult to adjust?"
"Yes. I only associated with old Mansfield before, but I only found out today that there are so many twists and turns in his family."
Bai Xi nodded quickly and said with a sigh.
The plot still has to go through, and right now it's really a pain in the ass. After all, besides Naya, Bai Xi and the others really don't have a choice...
What can we do? We can only accept Nyaruko's guidance with tears in our eyes!
"So, do you need me to show you the way? I just arrived yesterday, but I've already learned a bit about things."
Natis smiled and began to speak. Bai Xi was slightly taken aback, and then said somewhat shyly:
"Won't this cause some trouble?"
"It's nothing major, just a little mutual help among fellow travelers."
As Natis spoke, he patted Bai Xi on the shoulder, a hearty smile flashing across his face as always.
Gazing at the radiant smile on that stunningly beautiful face, Bai Xi felt a moment of disorientation.
[Undergoing a pleasing test, initiating a resistance of will]
[Netis's Pleasure check = 78/90, normal success]
[Bai Xi's Willpower Check = 37/75, Success on Difficulty]
[Bai Xi successfully resisted and was unaffected by the pleasing effect.]
What the hell!
Recovering from the momentary daze, Bai Xi's eyes showed a hint of fear.
In an instant, he typed a message in the team channel.
[Bai Xi: No! Naya wants to date me!]
Jiang Lingyi: ?
Flirting, a special kind of negotiation skill, is, as the name suggests, using words and communication to please others. However, it has a more widely known name in the sixth edition rules.
Charm.
Damn it, Nyarlathotep seduced me, this can't be right!
Thinking about this, Bai Xi felt a chill run down her spine.
Fortunately, I managed to fight it off, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened.
Seeing the fleeting curiosity in Natis's eyes, Bai Xi thought to himself.
The so-called competition is actually just each side checking their own skills to see who has a higher success rate. If they are the same, the winner is determined by the skill's numerical value.
If Bai Xi hadn't succeeded in that confrontation, he figured he'd have to organize a whole group for Naya...
"Sorry, I was just spacing out. Let's go inside."
Bai Xi composed himself and spoke to Natis. Natis nodded and turned to walk deeper into the manor.
The sky was gradually darkening, and a wisp of smoke drifted above the manor. The faint aroma of food seemed to waft from it.
It's dinner time at the manor now.
"I never get tired of watching it, no matter how many times I watch it."
Suddenly, Natis sighed, causing Bai Xi to turn her head in confusion.
But all that could be seen was a smile playing on Natis's lips as she hummed a light melody as night fell.
This put Bai Xi on high alert.
But even after entering the vast mansion deep within the estate, Netis made no further unusual moves, as if she really was just there to act as a guide.
And so, guided by the servants, the three of them peacefully entered the mansion and took their seats at the end of the table.
Bai Xi also saw Stoffey smiling and greeting him, and Layton, who was sitting at the head of the table talking to the middle-aged man who had been called "Big Brother" earlier, with an indifferent attitude.
Then, looking around, all I saw were people I didn't recognize.
Who are these people?
Bai Xi thought to himself, feeling a headache coming on. But Natis seemed to notice Bai Xi's confusion, turned around, and said:
"Don't you recognize these people, Bai?"
She asked with a smile, "These are all future heirs of this distinguished family."
"If you don't know this place, would you like me to introduce you?"
