Global Examination

The medicine was very effective, and Zhou Qi's fever finally subsided.

Miss Yang tied her skirt and lifted her chin, proudly turned back to her room.Gao Qi and Zhao Jiatong also breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered: "Maybe we overthink it, it's just a normal fever."

You Huo doesn't think so.

He asked Qin Chen the time, and looked at the sky outside.

Gao Qi has been an invigilator for several years, so he is a bit unfamiliar with the exam.His intuition is not as sensitive as that of a serious candidate, so he asked strangely: "What's wrong? What's the problem?"

Just as You Huo was about to open his mouth, Qin Chen said, "I think the timing is a bit of a coincidence."

Youyou closed his mouth again: "Yes."

"What a coincidence?" Gao Qi asked again.

"It's time for Miss Zhou's fever to subside." Qin Chen said.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you think the time for Miss Zhou to wake up is just right?" Qin Chen pointed to the balcony: "It's dawn, all the taboos at night have been lifted, and her fever has subsided."

It's like... the fever is there to make sure she stays in the house quietly and doesn't go anywhere.

Gao Qi laughed and said, "No way, why is the test question so kind? How is it possible that it still has this kind of function?"

"Yeah, it's quite strange." Qin Chen pointed to You Huo and said, "Isn't Mr. Examiner confirming?"

You Huo: "..."

The words were all finished by someone, and he didn't even open his mouth.

He stood behind the gate and listened to the voices outside, and glanced at Qin Chen: "Your surname is round?"

Qin Chen said: "Occasionally, this function can be triggered."

He sauntered behind You Huo to the door, his hand was already holding the doorknob, and suddenly added: "But there are prerequisites."

You Huo looked at him for a moment: "...for example?"

"For example... it depends on who it is aimed at?"

After Qin Chen finished speaking, he opened the door a crack.

Outside the door, the servants who disappeared all night suddenly came back, standing there respectfully, one on each side.

Their faces were expressionless and their postures were rigid, as if they had been standing here all night without moving.

The morning light shone in from several windows, as if nothing had happened overnight.

The servant turned his head when he heard the door knock, and met Qin Chen's eyes.

Qin Chen greeted calmly and said, "Good morning."

"Good morning," said the footman.

The door slammed shut again.

Two seconds later, the male servant suddenly turned his head and stared at the door: "???"

Another asked hoarsely, "What's wrong?"

"The gentleman who lives here... looks like this???"

"seems not."

Behind the door, Qin Chen pressed the door and smiled confusedly, saying, "Run."

You Huo: "..."

In the next second, Gao Qi felt two figures flash past in front of his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, he went up to the balcony, turned over, and disappeared one after another.

When passing by him, she even pushed him and sent him directly to the door.

The servant opened the door from the outside regardless of etiquette, and what he saw was Gao Qi leaning against the door and making a pose.

The two looked at each other.

The servant said, "You opened the door just now?"

Gao Qi: "Yes."

butler:"……"

Although only the lower half of the face is wearing a mask, but...

He went to the next door in disbelief.As soon as the door was opened, Qin Chen came out of the bedroom with his coat in his hands, with a calm and slightly surprised expression: "What's the matter?"

Yang Shupu sat on the carpet with her big skirt untidy and unpacked her bag. She turned to the male servant and said, "Who taught you the etiquette to enter a lady's room without knocking? Get out."

butler:"……"

He closed the door and calmed down outside for two seconds, wondering if I was blind?

***

Although Zhou Qi's fever has subsided, his overall condition is not good.

As Yang Shu said, he seemed to be frightened, so he didn't eat breakfast.

With her like this, You Huo in the same group became a little more worried.

So this morning, he was honest with Qin Chen for the first time, or changed his strategy according to the trend, and decided to adopt Zhao Jiatong's opinion, and followed the plot line to go to the town to see first.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, a black carriage parked outside the castle, waiting lifelessly.

The guests got into the car one after another, rounded the corner of Calton Hill, and disappeared on the road.

In the west tower of the old castle, the Duke stood behind the window and watched from a distance with the curtain drawn.

"Master." The butler Douglas stood behind him and asked respectfully, "What are you looking at?"

The Duke said: "I don't know. Looking at those guests suddenly, I don't know how many people will come back intact today."

After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth sank, and he looked in a very bad mood.

The whole room was permeated with a dangerous sense of oppression, and the decayed breath of death was silent.

Douglas said nothing.

After a while, the Duke suddenly said: "It didn't work again this time."

He turned his head and asked the housekeeper, "This is...why?"

He touched his chest, there was a new person here, Zhang Pengyi's heart was beating in his chest, slowly merging with him.

"I can feel that he likes that woman." The Duke bowed his head and said, "Just like I like my Alisa, although that woman's face is far from Alisa's, but... Alisa is so gentle I shouldn’t blame her too much. Why? Why hasn’t Alisa come back to me, Douglas?”

The butler stood with his hands down, and said in an old voice, "I don't know, maybe that lady doesn't love this gentleman enough."

The duke finally felt a little better.

He thought for a while and said, "Yes, that's it."

"But I'm still not happy," said the Duke softly. "I've tried too many times, and I've waited too long. My patience is almost exhausted."

The housekeeper said: "There will be such a day."

The Duke said: "By the way, have you dealt with these kind guests?"

He said softly: "Although my Alisa didn't come back, they did me a little favor and made a little contribution after all. We can't let them just be displayed there."

The butler lowered his eyes and said, "It's dealt with. According to your instructions, let them rest in peace as before."

"That's good, that's good..." said the Duke, "it won't cause me any trouble, will it?"

The butler said in an old voice, "No, sir."

The Duke patted him on the shoulder: "I'm at ease when you do things... How old were you when you came here?"

"Four years old, master, you saved my life, and I've been here forever."

The Duke said: "Apart from Alisa, you are the best to me in this world."

"It should, sir."

"You would never betray me, would you?" the Duke said, looking him in the eyes.

"will not."

"You will always listen to me, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"Then hurry up and change into a young body. I think that...that guest is very good."

The Duke thought about it and said, "The bodies of those two guests are too perfect, height, muscles, lines, strength... you and me, one by one, shall we divide them?"

Douglas hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

"It's a pity that the guests are always very shy and timid. I observed those two for a long time this morning, and I think they are too gentle and peaceful. Can you think of a way to make those two perfect gentlemen make mistakes? The kind that makes me less happy, so that I have every reason to give them a little punishment."

Douglas thought for a while and said, "I'll try."

Violent butler Douglas ponders for a while, then decides to follow his guests to town - where there's a whole day to lure guests into making mistakes.

Don't make a huge mistake.

They have seen many visiting guests, and those cowards dare not do anything too outrageous.

A small mistake is enough to make them tremble.

***

The weather in midsummer was hot and humid, and the town still looked lifeless.

It wasn't until a large number of carriages stopped in the town and formed a circle around the pool that the townspeople stuck their heads out of the windows in twos and threes.

"Are you here for treatment?" they asked.

Someone among the candidates responded, "Yes, that's right!"

Not far away, the door of the chapel opened, and a nun in a black dress ran to the carriage and said, "You are finally here, come with me."

The examinees glanced at each other and followed the nun one after another.

The nun reached out and counted: "There are 24 in total, right?"

Many people nodded subconsciously.

After a while, someone suddenly shouted in a low voice: "No, aren't there 26 candidates?"

Everyone was quiet for a moment, and the discussion buzzed.

"Zhang Pengyi and his girlfriend..."

"Yes, those two who were late last night, where are they? Didn't come?"

"Maybe...maybe slept? Or are you planning to give up the scoring points on the town side?"

……

A lot of people come up with horrible ideas, but no one wants those ideas to come true.So everyone is making good guesses.

After a while, there was silence again.

"Which room do those two candidates live in?" You Huo asked suddenly.

Zhao Jiatong said: "I didn't notice, it seems to be downstairs?"

"It's directly below your room." Qin Chen said.

"How do you know?" Zhao Jiatong asked in surprise.

"Looked more last night."

You Huo looked at Qin Chen, but still didn't speak.

Qin Chen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll check it out later."

Zhao Jiatong: "..." Am I deaf?

***

The chapel was dark and gloomy.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone couldn't help holding their breath.

The smell is horrible.

The smell of sweat, carrion, and blood is mixed together, as bad as you want.

The tables and chairs of the church were all dismantled, and there were more than 20 dilapidated beds everywhere.A mass of objects curled up on every bed...

"Oh my God……"

"Is that a human???"

Exclamations sounded one after another.

Some with shallow throats have already begun to retch.

The nun lowered her eyes and said, "These are all sick people who have been sick for a long time. The Duke is kind-hearted and always invites some guests here. It is said that they are all people with good medical skills, just like you."

Gao Qi muttered: "This is pure rumor..."

You Huo looked at the nearby bed.

There were large and small sores on the face of the person on the bed, and one side of the jaw was bloody.

He huddled under the quilt whose original color could not be seen clearly, and scratched his face amidst groaning, his fingertips were bright red.

The nun sighed, and said, "Unfortunately, there are not many doctors who can really help the patients. Some doctors failed to relieve them from the serious illness, but were even infected."

As she spoke, she led the candidates into place.

After all the beds were allocated, they realized that there were 26 beds in total. If Zhang Pengyi and his girlfriend were still there, there would be exactly one examinee corresponding to one patient.

It can be seen that helping patients should be the first scoring point.

Of course, it may also be the first death point.

The nun walked to the last bed and gave a soft "ah".

The bed was just a messy quilt and no one was there.

"Hey, I've lost my mind again." The nun's muttered words fell into Yuyu's ears.

She walked quickly to the door and said to everyone: "A disobedient patient has slipped away. I have to go and get him back. As for the rest of the patients, I will leave them to you."

"By the way, let me remind you that they have been sick for too long and have a bad temper. You... treat them carefully. Also, don't touch their sores, as they will be infected if you touch them."

Holding the door with both hands, she tilted her head and said to everyone, "Being infected is a terrible thing, you will die."

"Wish you guys good luck."

After speaking, she closed the door.

The sound of locking came from outside.

The moment the door lock fell, a hand suddenly grabbed You Huo's forearm, with a smelly wet sticky feeling.

You Huo looked down and saw that the patient he was in charge of had bloody sores on his hands and was holding him tightly...

Still have the face to cry at him.
