Congratulations, You've Become an NPC

Gududu~

The rich soup keeps rising with a thin layer of mist. ơɱ

Arno lowered his eyes and looked down at himself with his empty eyes.

The jade-like bones are looming under the red soup, giving people a strange sense of beauty.

"Having just emerged from the wolf's mouth, are you entering the tiger's den again?"

"It seems like I'm not very lucky."

He tried to raise his arms, but sure enough, there was no movement at all.

It was as if Arno had lost the connection with his body. No matter how hard he concentrated, he couldn't move.

"What a vicious woman."

With this thought in his mind, Arno's mind was running at high speed, thinking about possible escape methods.

It is not an easy thing to accept that someone makes a stew without understanding the details of this world.

"I see, no one is watching?"

Arno thought after looking around the room.

However, even if no one is guarding it, that doesn't mean it's easy to escape here.

In a dark room that looked like a witch's laboratory, there were no windows around for ventilation.

There were only red walls and an unusual aroma.

"Probably, this is the main reason why I can't move."

Toxins targeting oneself, or poisons with some characteristics.

If you want to regain your freedom, solving this aroma should be the easiest thing.

However, for Arnold at this moment, it is also something that is impossible to do.

"Is there anything that can solve the current situation?"

"At least, don't make me so passive."

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Yanuo's mind.

[Call out the system menu. 】

The words that were so simple that people felt a little embarrassed immediately appeared in front of Arno's eyes.

"really……"

I remembered what happened before the battle with the big dog.

Since it is a task, there must be a reward.

Looking at the only two things in the empty backpack, Arno subconsciously wanted to raise the corners of his lips.

"Forgot, I'm a skeleton now."

Disappointed to put away his emotions, Arno thought silently in his mind.

snap,

As if the space was shattered, two small bottles suddenly appeared in the void.

One is a medicine used to enhance a certain aspect of ability;

The other is a colorless and odorless poison.

"Bone soup is delicious."

Controlling the potion into his mouth with his mind, Arno chose to enhance his poison resistance.

An electric feeling flowed into the limbs and bones as the liquid flowed, clearing Arno's slightly chaotic brain, as if some restraint was lifted at this moment.

I tried to move my fingers, and immediately I felt the feeling of white bones stirring the water.

It wasn't much, and although I still couldn't get up, I could finally move around.

Maybe after a while, the medicine will take effect and he will be able to regain his freedom.

"Next, you have to wait."

Arno let his mind go and let his thoughts fall into dark chaos again.

Increasing poison resistance is not to detoxify, but to prevent yourself from being poisoned.

——

Time passes slowly,

Crows cackled outside the room, a loud and disturbing sound that could not penetrate the windowless wall.

Arno didn't know what time it was outside. He just let his body float up and down with the bubbling soup, waiting for that moment to arrive.

clatter,

clatter,

clatter……

The sound of slow and steady footsteps came.

Arno knew that the person he was waiting for was here.

He immediately restrained all his aura and disguised himself as an ordinary skeleton without life.

Perhaps because they were originally dead bones, this was implemented very smoothly.

But because of this, Arnold could not glimpse the scene in front of him.

He just felt his footsteps stop in front of him, and then a refreshing aroma did not pass through the physical body, but passed into his empty nasal cavity through the neurons conducted by the system.

Arno guessed that the person in front of him must have a beautiful appearance.

Beautiful skin will not change because of the evil heart.

"It looks like it's done."

Suddenly, she spoke.

The voice seemed to be coming from the fog, with a faint sense of haziness.

"Perhaps it's because the raw materials this time are very good. It has never been so smooth before."

"Even if it's bones, a brave warrior is stronger than a weak scholar."

Arno felt her slender fingers slide across Arno's skull with a soft warmth.

Perhaps it was because Arnold's disguise was so successful that she didn't even have the slightest suspicion.

"After drinking your soup, I can go one step further."

"At that time, everyone in the kingdom will bow to me."

"I will become the next king after the founding queen."

Her voice changed, excited and sweet, like a jar of watered honey, making people reluctant to get close to her.

Arno felt that she was very sad, sad and pitiful.

Because judging by the sounds that appear in your ears, this world is just a game.

And what she did and wanted was nothing more than the helpless whispers of the NPCs in the game.

"I'm going."

Without even using a spoon, she picked up a handful of water and poured it down her throat.

No pain, just as sweet as the feeling of clarity.

However, this feels wrong.

Not only was there no power coming from her, she even felt that her original power was rapidly passing away.

"what happened?"

"What's wrong?!"

A confused murmur.

Arno knew that the time had come.

So he regained his sight.

A face that was pretty and charming, but also extremely charming appeared in Arnold's eyes.

At this time, this face was full of panic.

Arno thought this was beautiful. Compared to the crazy whispers she heard just now, this panicked expression suited her better.

"It looks like you're feeling very uncomfortable."

The skull floated up and down with the soup. Sometimes the mouth was exposed, and sometimes only one eye remained.

Fortunately, Arnold did not produce his voice through his vocal cords.

"How could you!?"

She looked at Arno, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she couldn't help but scream in surprise.

But before she finished speaking, she already understood what happened.

"So that's it, am I being plotted..."

Her expression was dark, and her voice was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

The disillusionment of her fantasy seemed to have taken away all her energy.

"You're not going to die."

"However, your strength will not recover in a short time."

Arno thought about the details of the bottle of poison.

[Colorless and odorless, it kills the weak and makes the strong powerless. 】

There is no doubt that Arno is the weak one, and this woman is the so-called strong one.

This is also the reason why Arno points poison resistance.

"Just take care of yourself."

Glancing at the woman who still looked blank, Arno shook his head and prepared to leave.

He felt that he could move freely now.

However, before Arno could even leave the cauldron full of soup, a voice rang in his ears.

[Hide the unique task has been turned on. 】
