Global Examination

The two guests... No, the two gangsters had no psychological burden when they threatened people, and the witch doctor even had the illusion that "I am actually kind and helpless".

Those animals were obtained by him for bloodletting as sacrifices, and he never expected to be used in such a way.

He can replace all kinds of shells, men, women, and children can bear them, and he can reassemble them if they are chopped up...but not animals, let alone animals that are dying and about to mold in the dungeon.

This is more useful than any threat.

Under the gaze of the pig, the witch doctor almost answered all the questions.

From his mouth, You Huo and Qin Chen knew the general story of the matter——

The real Black Death did break out in Calton Hill, and the disease spread so violently that almost no one in the huge castle was spared.The Duchess was so weak that she died in two days.

As the closest person to her, the duke was also very serious, only persisting for two days longer than her.

Then there are servants and servants.

Butler Douglas was the one who persisted the longest. He took people to clean up the dead servants and sealed the coffin for the duke and lady.

The day before the burial, the witch doctor came to the castle.

At that time, the witch doctor hadn't borrowed his body from the nun. He was hiding in the previous body, and he was so old that he would shake every step he took.

Such a person who seemed to die at any time said to Douglas: "I can bring your master and madam back to life."

"Find a couple who are like them, the more like them the better."

"Appearance and identity are second, and the most important thing is heart and soul."

The witch doctor said to Douglas.

After giving hope, he added a reminder: "The resurrection process is a little bit bloody, but it is a sacred ceremony. As the one who resurrects them, you need to be willing to sacrifice yourself."

Douglas said, "Good."

In the middle of the night, he tricked a couple who were passing by here, and dragged them into the bedroom in a daze.

Then he pried open the coffin that was going to be buried, and brought back the duke and his wife.

In the silent, empty bedroom he chopped off the Duke's head, limbs, chest, and belly, and put them back together again.Candle oil dripped along the knife edge, forming a milky white film.

He drank a few glasses of wine, sat on the ground for a while under the watchful eyes of the witch doctor, and chopped up Alisa according to the gourd painting.

White candles were placed in a circle around them.

The witch doctor pointed to the two unlucky passers-by, and asked Glass: "Okay, there is only one last step left. Let me confirm with you again, are these two poor people really similar to the Duke and Duchess? If you don't, it won't work."

Douglas half-kneeled in front of passers-by couples and splashed them awake with wine.

He turned his back to the witch doctor and said without looking back, "They are very similar, they are very affectionate."

Amidst the cries of the passerby's couple collapsed, Douglas put his hand on the couple's head.

……

The duke died that night and came back to life.

The rotting parts of his limbs were replaced by the passerby's body, including most of his face with sores.

The moment he opened his eyes, the young butler Douglas aged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and became an old man in an instant.

Everything is as the witch doctor said...

Unfortunately, the Duchess failed to resurrect.

***

The witch doctor licked his lips and said: "I still remember the Duke's expression at that time. Beside him is his wife who was chopped up. In the mirror is his own face. The ground is full of blood. Next to him is an old man who is completely strange. The housekeeper... tsk."

He squinted at the old housekeeper who was also tied up and said, "You are the most ruthless person I have ever seen. The first time I tried to get myself out of death, I was not as straightforward as you, and even shed a few crocodile tears." .”

"But the duke also surprised me."

In the eyes of the witch doctor, there are many talented people in the castle.

Butler chopping people is like chopping melons and vegetables, there is no burden at all.And the resurrected Duke only panicked for a few minutes before accepting everything calmly.

The witch doctor said that there were too many servants in the castle, and it would be too troublesome to revive them one by one.He has a way of keeping them alive, neither alive nor dead, like ghosts trapped by lifelong guards in an old castle.

The duke thanked him.

The witch doctor said again: "What about your wife? Re-bury her?"

The Duke found a big wooden box and instructed Douglas to put Alisa in it, and replied: "It doesn't matter, I can invite some guests from time to time..."

"If it's a couple or a couple, just like me and Alisa." The Duke said: "I have enough patience to wait, and Douglas will always be with me, right?"

Douglas echoed: "I have always been here, and I will find the most suitable and loving guests for you."

The two masters and servants are surprisingly compatible.

When the witch doctor proposed that "resurrection and constant replacement of the body will be cursed, and the flesh and blood will be lost", they did not hesitate to aim at the town on the back of Calton Hill.

***

"How is the curse transferred?" You Huo pinched the opponent's wrist.

The witch doctor hesitated and didn't want to say anything, and tried to shrink back a little with his fingers, at least an inch away from the pig.However, no matter how hard he tried, the opponent was always as stable as Mount Tai.

The witch doctor's face was bloodshot.

"How can you bear such a cruel hand to a woman?" He pressed the nun's skin and questioned You Huo.

You Huo was indifferent: "It can be even more ruthless."

The witch doctor is angry.

Taking advantage of Youyou's closeness, he stared at Youyou's eyes firmly, and tried to seduce Youyou: "This beautiful gentleman, in fact, I still have a lot—well!"

In the middle of speaking, Qin Chen pressed his knee on his back.

The witch doctor collapsed and kissed the pig on the spot.

"..."

Qin Chen took a look at You Huo, and lowered his head to threaten the witch doctor with a smile, saying: "The wrong person was poured with the ecstasy soup. This beautiful gentleman is very impatient now. Can't you see it? But compared to him, I am a little worse. "

His deep and deep voice sounded in the ears of the witch doctor, like a devil: "It's okay for me to chop a pig, and it's okay for me to chop you. If you keep being so uncooperative, I'm afraid you might even catch a whole pig." No, I can't wait to give you a single head."

"Pig and sheep are also available."

Witch Doctor: "..."

The handsome gentleman sang with the devil, and said coldly: "Choose one of three, and I'll give you three seconds to think about it."

The witch doctor felt that he had encountered a pervert.

"3."

"2."

The witch doctor said immediately: "It depends on food and wine."

"The food and wine prepared by the Duke for the townspeople are all mediums. Eating these things is equivalent to promising to sacrifice yourself. The more you eat, the deeper the bondage, and the sooner you will be cursed."

"Food and wine?"

You Huo suddenly remembered Zhou Qi's reaction when he couldn't eat and suddenly had a fever, and turned to ask the housekeeper, "Is this what the castle provides to guests?"

Douglas didn't say anything, obviously a tacit consent.

The witch doctor interjected, "Of course, even if the duke doesn't use your bodies, he can borrow you to block part of the curse. Why waste it?"

You Huo and Qin Chen looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

You can't think about it.

If the scope of the curse is not limited to the town, it also includes the examinees.Then those people in the church who are not dead or bloody are probably not all townspeople.

"How to solve the curse?" You Huo asked the witch doctor.

The witch doctor said: "Didn't you eavesdrop on it for a long time? As I said, just transfer it to another person."

"I'm talking about complete release."

You Huo bent down and looked at him coldly.

The witch doctor looked at him for a moment, lost his battle, and said, "Kill the cursed man, or kill the duke."

"you--"

The butler with his head down suddenly jumped up, and was about to open his mouth when Qin Chen stuffed his mouth with a pig's trotter.

The witch doctor giggled and repeated: "Just kill the Duke."

One-sided words are bound to be deceitful, Qin Chen looked at the blood man curled up in the corner, and said, "Father?"

The blood man seemed to be dead. After a while, he raised his head weakly and nodded: "I remember this..."

Qin Chen: "Thank you."

He glanced between the witch doctor and the housekeeper, and suddenly said jokingly: "The interrogation is over for now, what do the chief examiners think of their performance, ABCD rank?"

You Huo let go of his hand, pointed at the witch doctor with his chin and said, "This C, retake the exam."

Witch Doctor: "..."

He pointed to Douglas again: "D, just eliminate it."

Qin Chen raised his hand and touched his forehead, and saluted rudely: "Give me half a minute."

The wrinkles at the corners of Douglas' mouth were pulled down, and there was a trace of lovelessness in the numbness.

***

The dark environment underground made people ignore the time. You Huo and Qin Chen came out of the hut with their dresses on their hands. It was almost evening.

The sky in the distance was covered with overcast clouds again, gathering here with moist water vapor.

They put on their gowns and went back to the church, only to find that the crowd surrounded the group of bowling balls, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Gao Qi said to them from a long distance: "It can be considered that we are back, and we will dig the backyard if we don't see any more."

"What is this for?" Qin Chen glanced at the crowd.

Gao Qi said: "We found some clues to know what it means to cure the patient."

Everyone turned over several stretcher beds, and showed You Huo and Qin Chen the blood on the back.

"There are repetitions, so it's just one sentence..." Gao Qi took a deep breath and said, "Killing them is a relief."

He also emphatically pointed to one of the bed boards and said: "This must be left by the examinee. Killing a patient gives 3 points, and there is no upper limit."

After killing them all, maybe this exam will be over.

But You Huo made a rough count, excluding the laissez-faire priest, there were originally 25 patients here, and now there are still 25 patients, none missing.

None of the examinees scored points by hand.

Qin Chen raised his eyebrows.

Before he could speak, someone among the candidates mumbled, "Besides, some traces were found. We think...among these patients, there are at least four or five of them, just like us, who were candidates for a certain test."

If it's just pure NPCs, they won't be burdened to kill them.

Who hasn't killed a few mobs in life up to now?

But when they learned that there was a real person among them, no one could do anything.

A score of 3 is good for most people.

But as Gao Qi and Zhao Jiatong said, it's not to the point.

They haven't been forced to kill candidates for 3 points, which is something to be thankful for.

But this atmosphere was quickly broken, because Qin Chen told everyone what he had inquired in the dungeon.

Everyone's faces turned green.

Among them, Gaoqi is the most green.

He drank more alcohol than all the people present combined. If the curse was fulfilled on the candidates in this field, he would be in the top three.

***

The torrential rain lashed down before nightfall.

The castle stands under the rain, like a beast lying still.

In the large bedroom on the first floor of the west tower, the Duke was losing his temper with the servants. He smashed a cup, wet an oil painting, and kicked over everything that could be kicked in the room...

Because the butler has been missing for a long time.

More than a dozen carriages picked up all the guests, except Douglas.

Isn't he best at luring customers into making mistakes?What made him delay until now?

The Duke twirled the ring on his hand, the air pressure was so low that no one dared to approach.

For a split second he suspected that Douglas was hooked up with the witch doctor, maybe doing something behind his back.

But soon, he convinced himself again.

Anyone could be sorry for him, except Douglas.

"Sir, it's dinner time." A servant reminded him.

Although the servants have long since ceased to be living beings, and their demeanor is stiff and dead, they are still afraid.

The Duke paused for a moment, and said with a calm face: "If Douglas comes back, please roll over here and wait for me. I will teach him what punctuality is."

After speaking, he put on a formulaic smile, turned and went to the dinner hall.

Today's dinner is very strange.

The guests stared at the wine and roast chicken with serious faces.Only three gentlemen stood out—

You Huo and Qin Chen tasted all the food in a leisurely manner just like last night, as if they didn't know the curse.

As for Gao Qi...

Anyway, it was hopeless, so he simply let go and drank.

The Duke tapped on the wall of the cup lightly, and said with a smile: "What? My dear guests have lost their appetite today? This is what I asked the kitchen to carefully prepare. If I don't eat it, I may be a little sad."

"..."

Well, you are the subject and you have the biggest face.

The examinees took a deep breath, and with the expression of a strong man, scratched a little goosebump with a fork...

The Duke clasped his hands, his eyes curled up behind the mask.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the dinner party is over.

The Duke sat at the head of the table and watched the candidates leave the hall.His eyes kept chasing those two perfect gentlemen, and he hoped that Douglas would come back soon and bring him some happy news.

As the last candidate left, a footman hurried over.

"My lord the duke."

"Well, is Douglas back?"

The male servant's gray complexion could change into several colors, he nodded stiffly for a moment and said, "Well, I just came back..."

"What about others? Waiting for me in the bedroom?"

"No," said the servant hesitantly.

The Duke frowned: "Why?"

The manservant shrank his neck back and said, "The butler...um...as soon as he came back, he got into his bedroom."

The Duke was a little angry, but also a little puzzled.

He asked the servant to lead the way, and killed Douglas' bedroom with a straight face.

"Douglas, what kind of tricks are you playing?" The Duke reprimanded when he pushed the door open.

The expected response did not come.

The expected figure does not exist.

"What about others?!" The Duke glared at the servant.

The servant pointed to a corner of the bedroom and said, "It's... it's..."

The Duke took a closer look:

There lay a pig wrapped in a butler's shirt, with a piece of parchment pinned to the collar.

The Duke strode over and took it off to have a look.

The handwriting on the paper is flying like a dragon and a phoenix:

My lord the duke, this is Douglas, and you have sent me to trouble your guests.

Are you satisfied with this little trouble?

I wish you happy.

“…………………………”

The Duke was so angry that he almost died.

Trembling, he rubbed off the parchment, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

While walking, he said to the servant: "I want the bodies of these two guests tonight! Don't even try to run away!"
