Global Examination

Watching your own body slowly decay is a crushing thing.

The skin and flesh melted, and the white bones were revealed little by little...

This process is like pulling death into slow motion. Every second and every detail is clearly recorded and magnified into torture and suffering.

But Qin Chen is fine.

He was far from breaking down, just regretting.

Maybe it's because the process is so magical that it doesn't feel real.

Maybe it was because he was really overconfident.

He sat in the same old position in the ruins from beginning to end, with his coat off on one side, and his white silk shirt was heavily stained with blood.

He bent one leg and looked at the bones of his hand, waiting patiently.

The gauze that 922 stuffed him was removed only after the blood on his body was gone.

He was not interested in admiring the ragged skin and rotten flesh, so he didn't take off his shirt, and directly wrapped the gauze around the shirt.

When 021 entered the monitoring room, what he saw was this scene.

She frowned and asked, "Why are you wrapping it up like this? Don't tell me that the proctor 001 doesn't know how to treat wounds at all, what are you kidding?"

922 said: "How could it not be."

"Then what is he doing?"

"Block the blood."

021 was stunned: "Huh?"

"Blood blocking, not hemostasis." 154 said.

Sure enough, on the monitoring screen, Qin Chen was wrapped in another layer of gauze outside his shirt, and his fingers... or hand bones were also wrapped.

The blood was stained on the new layer of gauze again, but the penetrating power was not so strong, in other words, the blood was not so alive.

He rested his elbows to dry for a while, staring into the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

He waited for the blood to dry before he put on his frock coat again, took gloves from his pocket and put them on again.

When the confinement time limit was approaching, he stood up, his dress was slender and straight, except for the first few movements that were a little stagnant, there was hardly any problem.It was as if his injury was still only on the palm.

Only those with extreme willpower can do this...

But what is the need?

Is it really just a trick of the bones, and you don't want to show any weakness?

021 looked at the screen and muttered in his heart.

On the screen, Qin Chen clasped his hands and pushed the gloves inward, then looked up and swept around.

He seems to be looking for something.

Soon, he stopped looking, and met 021 through the screen.

"...Is he looking at us? Coincidentally?" 021 pointed to the screen and asked.

154 "Well", said: "It should be."

"Really? Where can he feel the monitoring?" 021 said, "How is it possible?"

922 nodded and said, "Really, he used to be in the proctor's office, and he could always point out where the system's eyes were focused..."

154 thought for a while and said: "He particularly, particularly hates being restrained, more than ordinary people, so he has always been a little sensitive about this..."

While speaking, Qin Chen really gestured to the screen, signaling the invigilator to go, and then pressed his lips to "shh".

021:"……"

After thinking about it, she quietly went to the confinement room.

You Huo was still sleeping, she remembered Qin Chen's gesture, walked around him silently and walked to the side of the confinement room and opened the door.

Qin Chen stood by the door and said in a low voice, "I came in a few minutes before the others. To be fair, can I go out first?"

021 frowned: "You—"

Qin Chen pressed his lips again.

021 glanced at You Huo not far away, and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Qin Chen raised his eyebrows and said nothing, just asked her: "Do you agree?"

021 stared at him, stunned for a moment and suddenly understood.

He wants to go one step ahead, wants to go back to do something early, maybe a little crazy and a little risky, so he wants to avoid other people...

No, most people can't keep up with his rhythm at all, and they can't be with him.

There was only one he wanted to avoid.

021 looked at Qin Chen.

This person obviously has a sick appearance and pale face, but he still has a strong and exuberant mental power.

She was suddenly a little dazed.

Because of those past events and rumors, she really didn't like this first-ranked invigilator before, but after these two encounters, Qin Chen always surprised her...

She suddenly began to suspect that her cognition was wrong.

Two minutes later, the invigilator 2 obeyed Qin Chen's wishes for the first time in his life, and let him out of the invigilator at the earliest possible time.

***

In the castle, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

There are dead candidates, the Duke himself, and those shadows on the wall.

After a few downs, Zhao Jiatong finally discovered that those black shadows did not appear randomly.Only when the Duke is at his weakest will he bark his teeth and claws.

She killed the Duke five times, and those sticky black shadows also appeared five times, like undead who could never rest in peace.

It wasn't until the first batch of examinees who came back brought back the news that "You Huo Qin Chen was cursed" that Zhao Jiatong finally returned to his senses.

She was stopped at the corner by others, panting heavily and with red eyes, she watched the Duke come back from the dead again, dragging his long cloak down the stairs.

"It can't be killed, it can't be burnt, and it can be closed when you take it apart..." Zhao Jiatong said, "How can I kill him?"

Most importantly, kill him without being cursed.

She didn't dare to think about what You Huo and Qin Chen would become now, and it made her very uncomfortable.She didn't want to see those two living people become undead who couldn't see the light, trapped forever in the dark and dank old church.

"Even if I think of a way, I don't dare to try it now." Someone said sharply.

"Yes, I can't try it. Those two will hurt faster if I try it."

"More than that, it stands to reason that we have contributed our bodies by drinking and eating. This curse will definitely spread gradually."

"Yeah!" Someone asked wonderingly, "We all ate, why are we all right?"

"How much did you eat, and how much did others eat? I think it might be that the Duke was resurrected too many times overnight, and the curse was transferred very quickly, so I picked two first. Firstly, they ate a lot, and secondly, they were the most powerful , They are the first to kill the Duke."

"Speaking of this... I think they didn't deliberately eat less for dinner, isn't it just to attract firepower?"

Everyone's face was heavy and their hearts were complicated.

"I don't know if I remember correctly, how long is the exam period? Did the topic say anything? Why didn't I remember it?" Someone suddenly asked.

Zhao Jiatong said in a low voice: "No, the title didn't give an exact time, I can be sure."

Everyone was silent for a long time, and asked: "Isn't that not enough to last? How should I get out?"

"Since..." someone said in silence, "Since the duke cannot be killed, the patient can only be killed."

There are two kinds of relief——

Kill the Duke, and all witchcraft goes back to the beginning.

Kill all the patients and die quickly.

They have been trying their best to avoid the second way, but now it seems that it is unavoidable.

Several candidates gritted their teeth and wanted to go to town on the spot.

As a result, after running for a few steps, Zhao Jiatong heard Zhao Jiatong say, "All the patients...does that include the one who was just cursed?"

The candidates stopped in their tracks instantly.

"...How did the previous candidates pass?"

"Maybe someone can be ruthless, maybe no one passes in a few consecutive rounds. Those NPCs are still the original NPCs, whether the words they said were lines or true, who knows..."

"Anyway, I can't do it."

At least not yet.

Everyone was completely trapped by this problem, struggling and entangled, and couldn't find a way to achieve both.

And the Duke would always rest for a while after killing someone, and never came upstairs again.

After an unknown amount of time, the gate of the castle was pushed open, and Qin Chen came back.

Zhao Jiatong rushed down almost immediately, only to find that Yang Shu was running faster than her on the first floor.

This young lady who had no good words to say was quite soft-hearted. When she heard about the curse, she held the medicine bag in her hand all the time, and when she saw Qin Chen, she took out the needle on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Mr. 001 avoided the needle and said with a smile: "Save it, I don't need it."

Yang Shu's eyes stood up: "Fart, you're a doctor and I'm a doctor? I say use it if you need it, and save it if you don't need it. I still have it here, and the other one will still have to prick it when he comes back."

Ms. Yang has always been tough, so I'm afraid she will have a lot to talk to 021.

Qin Chen reckoned that he might not be able to leave if her wish was not granted, so he reluctantly agreed.

Yang Shu said: "The arm is exposed!"

Qin Chen didn't follow suit: "Forget about the arm, I'm afraid I'll poke your needle. If you must get an injection, give it here, at least there is some good skin left."

As he spoke, he pulled down his collar a little, like a stingy iron cock.

Yang Shu held the syringe in a daze for a moment, and suddenly understood what he meant.

It's strange that such a stubborn girl's eyes are a little bit red.

She blinked, then retracted the syringe suddenly, pushed Zhao Jiatong forward, turned around and hurried away: "I'd better go and see Zhou Qi, in case he wakes up."

Zhao Jiatong was not much better than her.

She never expected that there would be a day when she would worry about 001, and she suddenly realized that this No. 1 chief examiner was really strong, so strong that she could hardly stand it anymore.

"you……"

"It's okay, it's still within the range of patience." Qin Chen interrupted: "But maybe I have to rest for a while, and we can talk about other things when everyone comes back."

Zhao Jiatong wanted to say a few words at first, but when he heard that he wanted to rest, he immediately said: "Then go to sleep for a while, I won't drag you down, let's talk when everyone is here."

Qin Chen said hello and hurried upstairs.

After walking a few steps, he turned to her and said, "I don't like people knocking on the door when I sleep, so..."

"I'll let Gao Qi stay in our room when he comes back." Zhao Jiatong said.

"Thanks."

Five minutes later, there was a soft sound from the grass at the foot of the castle.

Qin Chen stood up, glanced at the scattered balconies behind him, and walked in a certain direction.

There is a carriage drive there, and along the drive around the foot of Calton Hill, you can see the town in the night.

***

When You Huo was awakened by 021, the second batch of confinement candidates had disappeared.

He looked at the open narrow door of the confinement room, and asked 021, "Did you give me another dose?"

021 pointed to 922 and said, "Ask him, I don't care."

She dropped this sentence and left, her face was calm, but it looked like she was running away.She went upstairs and got into the monitoring room.

922 patted himself on the shoulder and said, "A large part of your side is also damaged. Just now, the blood was dripping on the ground, so we... gave you a painkiller injection."

He finished explaining hesitantly, thinking that You Huo wanted to argue with him.

Unexpectedly, the other party just lost his mind for a while and asked him, "How long have they been away?"

"20 minutes."

You Huo nodded, got up and entered the confinement room.

922 muttered "Damn it", and also slipped upstairs.

If it was normal, and the system maliciously separated people like this, You Huo would definitely do something to disgust it.

But today is an exception——

He wants to do something alone.

I don't know whether the result is good or bad, so I don't want to drag Qin Chen this time.

Three hours in the dark was an unusually long time, but it passed after all.

021 sent You Huo to the foot of the mountain, pointed at the iron fence with a routine face and said, "You can see the castle through it."

But You Huo asked, "Which way is the town?"

021: "Huh? Here."

She pointed to a piece of barren grass in the opposite direction, and she realized something was wrong after she finished speaking: "What are you doing in the town now?"

"Extorting a confession by torture."

You Huo dropped these words, turned his head and disappeared into the night.

He walked through the mist on the grass, and the town was right in front of him.

Beside the central pool, the small church stands eerie, with a few stars of wall lights shining through the colored windows, like will-o’-the-wisps floating out of thin air.

You Huo forcibly ignored the discomfort everywhere, turned from the side of the church into the backyard, and went straight into the dungeon.

The witch doctor was gagged and tightly bound, huddled in the corner of the dungeon.

His two hands have been replaced with pig's trotters, so he knows that You Huo and Qin Chen really dare to do anything, not just to scare him.

You Huo grabbed his collar, punched him awake and asked, "How did you kill the Duke?"

The witch doctor subconsciously wanted to touch the place where he was beaten, but he could only move his ugly and strange hooves.His face was gloomy for a moment, and then he suddenly laughed: "Oh, did you find the problem?"

"How do you kill the Duke?" You Huo asked coldly.

The witch doctor's eyes rolled around, and he didn't know what he was thinking, maybe he wanted to show off or negotiate a condition.

You Huo let go of his hand like throwing trash, turned around and dragged a sheep over, and raised his knife expressionlessly.

How scary he and Qin Chen are, the witch doctor has seen it before, and left a psychological shadow for a time.

Seeing that he was about to chop the leg of lamb, he curled up his leg on the spot and shouted, "He must die voluntarily!"

You Huo stopped, the blade was only a few inches away from the lamb leg.

The witch doctor let out a long breath.

"Be specific." You Huo stared at him.

It was inevitable that the previous mistakes would recur, and he had to finish the witch doctor's words.

"The moment he was killed, he must be willing."

"How is it possible?" You Huo frowned.

The witch doctor stared at the tip of his knife, saw that he had dropped another inch, and quickly said, "It's not completely impossible!"

"What do you mean?"

"You forgot, he is using someone else's body." The witch doctor said softly, "He is beating someone else's heart here, and it is not impossible to make him willing. Find a way to awaken the remaining conscience?"

"Let me tell you a secret." The witch doctor said to him: "Some bodies have amazing willpower. When the Duke is dying, those remaining things may be forced out. Maybe it can help. After killing the Duke , remember to go as far as you can, and don't let him come into contact with the breath of living people."

You Huo was dubious: "The Duke is dead, what will happen to you?"

The witch doctor sighed and said, "It's a bit troublesome, but it's not hopeless."

There was nothing new to dig out from him, so You Huo threw him back.

Turn around and leave.

When I returned to the hut, I suddenly heard a soft sound.

Someone called out to him with a groan.

Youzhao searched for it, and saw the bloody priest under the bed. The other party grabbed his boots and said in a hoarse voice, "Didn't you just leave? Why are you back?"

Obviously, the poor man couldn't tell the difference between today and tomorrow when he huddled here, and remembered the afternoon's affairs until midnight.

The priest said softly: "Burn the castle, remember... you must burn the castle after killing the Duke. Don't listen to the witch doctor, burn it, fire can redeem the dead."

And in the ground where they couldn't see, the witch doctor snickered again: "The body has been dead for more than three days, and the gods can't wake it up."

Chapter 91 What If You Huo Knows... Would It Feel Exciting And Pleasant?Or give him a punch?

The Duke just went to the housekeeper's bedroom to appease the pig, and when he returned to the room, he found that something was wrong.

The curtains on the bed were wrinkled, exposing a corner, and the dark bottom of the bed could be seen.

That's his forbidden area!

"Alyssa?" The Duke walked over slowly and knelt down by the bed.

There was nothing under the bed, and the crimson box was missing.

His Alisa is gone!

"Who?!" The Duke was extremely angry, his eyes were red.

A short laugh suddenly sounded behind him.

The Duke turned his head suddenly, and saw a person sitting on the window sill at some point.

"Ah...it's you, you're here again?" The Duke tried to slow down his breathing, making his tone look frivolous and disdainful, "The current guests are really persistent, knowing that they will fail, they have to try again and again."

Qin Chen said, "It's different this time."

"Why is it different?"

"I went to find that witch doctor, and used some not-so-bright means." Qin Chen calmly said, "Guess what he told me?"

"what?"

The Duke's expression changed, and he narrowed his eyes as he stared at him.

Qin Chen went to the dungeon, found the priest again, and asked each of them how to kill the Duke.

The answers given by the two were surprisingly consistent.

One of them is cunning and the other is insane.Qin Chen didn't intend to believe anyone, so he came to deceive the Duke.

The duke is suspicious by nature, and if something can be done to make him mess up, it will be much easier to formulate.

So Qin Chen hid the lady under the bed.

Qin Chen tilted his head, jumped off the window sill, and said fearlessly, "What do you think?"

The Duke looked at him without turning his head, and laughed again after a long time: "Don't scare people, I won't die, I'll never die."

"Oh, so sure?" Qin Chen said.

He looked confident and extremely calm.It was so convincing that the Duke began to doubt it again.

"I'm pretty sure." He frowned.

Qin Chen smiled: "Have you misunderstood the character of the witch doctor? A... a lunatic who can teach people sorcery."

"Of course I know." The duke smiled arrogantly, "Do you think I'm stupid? Let a person who threatens me at any time live? Of course I stayed back. I know what he knows, and I will do the same. Will."

Qin Chen held up a book with his hands behind his back: "Is this what you mean? You made a copy of his witchcraft book."

The Duke cast a quick glance under the bed.

"Look, this is what the witch doctor told me." Qin Chen said.

In fact, when he was pressing the witch doctor, he vaguely guessed that the Duke also had a book, and deduced that the most likely place he hid it was under Alisa's box.

No one dared to touch the Duchess, so no one could touch the book.

The Duke sneered: "You guessed it."

His neck twitched nervously twice, as if his head was disobedient again.

"More than that, he also told me that between you and him..." Qin Chen stopped talking and said slowly, "You are very nervous."

Talk halfway!

The Duke cursed in his heart, but it was undeniable that Qin Chen's words really made him nervous.

Because the other party seems to really know a lot.

There were vaguely noisy voices in the castle, and the duke's face became even uglier.

Qin Chen pointed to the door and said, "Do you need me to tell people outside about you and him out loud? Maybe your servants or other caring people will remember it, and then--"

"Shut up!" the Duke said coldly.

Qin Chen smiled, shook the book in his hand and said, "Look, you are not really afraid of anything, isn't that why you hide this book?"

The corner of the Duke's mouth twitched, and his face became increasingly ugly.

In fact, those just now were all made up by Mr. Qin on the spot. Of course, the lies must be well-founded——

The Duke reprinted the witchcraft book in order to figure out the resurrection technique on his body, but why didn't he destroy it after he figured it out?Why not burn it like a witch doctor?That way you never have to worry about being seen.

Since he kept the book, it meant he still needed it.

On the other hand, as he himself said, the existence of the witch doctor would threaten him at any time, so why did he tolerate him alive?Even the well water does not offend the river water and gives way to the other party.

Unless... for some reason, he didn't dare to kill, or couldn't kill.

He guessed that there was a deep connection between the Duke and the witch doctor, such as life and death.

The witch doctor helped the butler revive the Duke, and it is impossible to hand over his life and death to another person for no reason.

So this connection is one-way, or in other words, the loss is one-way.

The witch doctor is dead, and the Duke cannot live.

But the Duke is dead, but the witch doctor will be fine.

"You can't kill me." The Duke still emphasized.

Qin Chen approached him step by step: "Why can't I kill you? The book is in my hand, I read everything I need to read."

In this book of witchcraft, the source of resurrection from the dead becomes the host.

The way to kill the host is a picture. A person holds a knife and presses on the host. The tip of the knife is only a few millimeters away from the heart, and the host is willing to resist.

Before the Duke came back, Qin Chen looked at the picture several times, and it was actually similar to what the witch doctor said.

The duke's reaction just now at least confirmed that this book is true.

Then he might as well give it a try.

***

It should be daytime, but it is no different from night.

Zhou Qi's fever subsided in the early morning, but his complexion was still very bad, and he was restless.

Zhao Jiatong couldn't help asking her: "Did you have a nightmare?"

Zhou Qi nodded: "Yes."

"I heard you talking in your sleep."

"Well... I had a lot of nightmares in a mess." Zhou Qi said: "I dreamed of my boyfriend, who dragged me and ran and ran, just like a battle royale. Then he suddenly fell down and fell behind all of a sudden. I turned around and grabbed him...a group of people with knives in their hands wanted to chop us."

Zhou Qi's face became even paler as he spoke: "He was protecting me, and those knives were all... all cut on him, full of blood, and his blood was all on my hands and body."

Zhao Jiatong quickly poured a glass of water, patted her on the back and said, "Okay, okay, it's all a dream... ah."

Gao Qi looked out of the window, frowning and didn't say a word.

Suddenly, mixed crying and howling of men, women and children resounded in the corridor.

Zhou Qi shook his fingers, knocked over the cup, and asked blankly, "What's that sound?"

"Not good!" Zhao Jiatong turned over and stood up, "Those shadows on the wall are here again!"

"What shadow?"

Zhou Qi had a fever all night long, and he had never seen those black shadows baring their teeth and claws.

But now I don't have time to explain to her in detail.

Gao Qi jumped up with a grunt: "Didn't it mean that the Duke will only come out when he is extremely weak or dying?"

"Yup!"

"Who is going to kill the Duke again?"

Zhao Jiatong frowned and said, "No way, everyone knows that if you kill too much, the curse will fall on A and 001, how could you do it without authorization—"

She suddenly stopped and looked at Gao Qi.

Gao Qi wiped his face and said, "Fuck!"

Others don't know how to keep them together, those two are crazy!

They rushed out.

I wanted Yang Shu and Zhou Qi to stay in the room, but before they could speak, they had already followed.

The corridor was full of examinees, holding up their mobile phones and chasing their shadows to take pictures.

Gao Qi and Zhao Jiatong wanted to pass through the crowd and go straight downstairs, but suddenly they heard Zhou Qi say in a trembling voice: "Sister Zhao...Sister Zhao...I..."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Jiatong called out.

Zhou Qi said: "I think... I heard Jiang Yuan's voice."

Her dark eyes were wide open, staring at a certain stone wall, her tightly clenched hands were trembling, even her eyelashes were trembling.

It seems that as long as you blink, the tears will come down.

Zhao Jiatong stopped abruptly: "What's the sound? Who is Jiang Yuan?"

Zhou Qi tried to keep his eyes open again, not letting tears fall.

She said softly: "My boyfriend... It seems that there is my boyfriend in the crying."

Zhao Jiatong fell silent suddenly.

She said: "No Xiao Zhou, it's impossible, it must be affected by the nightmare..."

"Really... Sister Zhao, I really heard it." Zhou Qi said softly.

Zhao Jiatong wanted to say something else, but Gao Qi gave her a hug.

She turned her head and glared at Gao Qi, and suddenly understood something under his gaze.

A few steps away, the stone wall suddenly crackled.

After tossing about a dozen times in one night, the black shadows acted like crazy every time, and it finally became a little overwhelmed.

Dozens of mobile phone lights shone on the crack, and a large piece of the stone suddenly fell off.

When it fell to the ground, everyone realized that the surface of the stone wall was very thin, as if it had been covered with a shell.

Gao Qi said: "Stay away, don't get hit!"

As soon as the words fell, someone exclaimed: "My god, what is this?!"

The black shadow was still struggling, and the howling continued, and there was even a tendency to intensify, because all the light was focused on the screaming person.

The examinee took a few steps back and his voice cracked: "There is someone in the wall! Look!"

There are real people in the walls.

No, to be precise, it's not a person, it's a human body.

Arms, legs, hands, feet, and heads... gray-white stumps were embedded in the stone wall, and as more and more stone shells fell, they finally... fell down one by one.

Everyone froze for a moment, screaming and avoiding.

In just a few minutes, the entire corridor became a purgatory on earth.

Zhao Jiatong finally understood where the smell Zhou Qi was talking about came from.

A head with open eyes rolled to her feet, even if the army was born, she also panicked severely.

Everyone, including Zhao Jiatong and Gao Qi, had the first reaction to step back.

Only Zhou Qi was an exception.

She fixed her eyes on one place, and stumbled towards it.

"Xiao Zhou, what are you doing?" Zhao Jiatong wanted to grab her, but it was in vain.

Zhou Qi finally stumbled and fell in front of what she was looking for.

It was half of the upper body, wearing a blue-gray plaid short-sleeved shirt, with a large bloodstain on the neckline, extending to the chest.There is a pocket on the left chest, the button on the pocket is very naughty, it is a shiny bear's head, it seems that someone replaced it as a joke.

The arm with the cuffs exposed was pale, like a prosthetic limb of a model in a shopping mall.

Zhou Qi forgot to get up, and sat blankly holding one arm of it.

Zhao Jiatong and Yang Shu followed, with indescribably uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

"Xiao Zhou...Xiao Zhou, don't be like this, there are many people wearing this kind of shirt." Zhao Jiatong's voice was hoarse.

Zhou Qi didn't speak, as if he didn't hear.

After a while, she suddenly got up, hugging the stump, one foot deep and one shallow foot, turning around like a headless chicken, whispering: "Others...there are other..."

She turned around in the corridor like crazy, and found a leg in jeans not far away.

……

"Head, sister Zhao... help me, Yang Shu, help me." She couldn't hold her anymore, her limbs were about to slip.She was so anxious that she burst into tears, and said, "Help me find it, where is the head!!!"

Gao Qi couldn't stand it anymore.

He gritted his back teeth, paused for a few seconds, patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder and said, "Girl, don't cry, I know where it is, I'll take you there..."

***

In the bedroom on the first floor of the west tower, Qin Chen clutched the Duke's neck, the mask fell aside in the struggle, and the young man's face was finally forced to bleed a little.

But it was still the Duke who spoke: "You...wasted...effort...you...couldn't kill...me..."

"You... forever... kill... no... me!"

He said, trying to laugh.

Qin Chen frowned.

Suddenly, the bedroom door was pushed open.

He turned his head and looked over, Gao Qi, Zhao Jiatong, and Yang Shu were all standing by the door, besides... there was a dazed woman.

It's Zhou Qi.

The examinee no longer wears a mask, and her face flushed from crying is very clear.

Qin Chen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously loosened the strength in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the Duke did not take the opportunity to break free.

When he looked down, he saw the Duke was staring at the door with his face turned sideways, his gaze lost for a moment.

The next second, he turned back in a panic, covered his face with his hands and said hoarsely, "Don't look at me, don't look... Let her out, out!"

Although the sound is very low, it is still very clear in the quiet bedroom.

After a long time, Zhou Qi said softly with a nasal voice: "Jiang Yuan? You...you can still talk? Are you still alive?!"

She rushed in, rolled and crawled, and fell in front of the Duke in embarrassment.

The Duke shielded his face with his elbow, and his neck twitched twice nervously.

The corners of his mouth twisted for a moment, and finally said: "Qiqi... don't look..."

Sitting in front of him, Zhou Qi tried to pick at his hand, only to find that the other's fingers were different from what he remembered...

The whole hand is different.

She hastily rolled up the other party's sleeves, and opened the neckline again, and saw a red mark like a stitch, and her whole body collapsed to the ground.

After a long time, she suddenly threw her arms around the Duke's neck and burst into tears.

"I dreamed of you. I had nightmares all night. A lot of people took knives... and chopped at you. You wouldn't let me see it. If you insisted on pushing me, you wouldn't let me see it. No matter what I do Crying or scolding, you don't say a word..."

……

Crying filled the bedroom.

Under such circumstances, no one can say "then you persuade him to be killed willingly".

What's more, Qin Chen always had doubts about these words.

The Duke suddenly twisted twice strangely, and the fingers that were holding Zhou Qi suddenly moved towards her neck, and suddenly grabbed her.

Zhou Qi's eyes widened, and before the tears could be shed, he looked at him blankly.

Qin Chen grabbed the Duke's wrist.

"It's such a touching friendship. It's been so long, and it's still possible..." Before the Duke could finish his ridicule, he changed into a sad expression amidst twisting, and his fingers loosened.

He didn't hesitate this time, he pushed Zhou Qi away and said, "Qiqi, be obedient...don't get so close to me, I...I should...can't last long, I don't know how long I can last."

Zhou Qi panicked, Zhao Jiatong and Yang Shu came to hold her back.

The Duke suddenly grabbed Qin Chen: "Help me...help me, I don't want to do this again."

"You..." Qin Chen frowned and looked at Zhou Qi again.

The duke's eyes were red, as if he was trying to restrain himself from looking at Zhou Qi's face: "If this continues, you will all be killed one day... I don't want... I don't want to suddenly come to my senses one day and see whose head is in my hand ...Holding...Qiqi's head...I'm scared, I'm too scared."

"The witch doctor said that the curse can only be undone if the duke is willing to be killed, and everyone who was killed because of the duke can be undone." Qin Chen whispered, "but..."

"It's fake." Jiang Yuan struggled twice, trying to say: "I am him, and I know he... is fake. He checked it, and I know it. The result of this is that he voluntarily puts away his savings... accumulated for so long Dedicate your eternal life to the witch doctor."

He gritted his teeth, and almost jumped out word by word: "The real host...is the witch doctor! Only the Duke can kill the witch doctor, but even if the witch doctor is dead, the Duke can't live..."

To make the Duke fight against the witch doctor regardless of life and death, and to make the witch doctor be willing to be killed...

This is a dead circle, which is why the stalemate lasted for so long.

Jiang Yuan seemed to want to finish speaking quickly while he was awake.

Panting for breath, he said while competing with the real Duke: "...I only know that the vitality of the witch doctor lies in the Duke. If the Duke is alive, the witch doctor will be healthy. If the Duke is dead, as long as he is not sacrificed, the witch doctor will die." It would be debilitating. It's just...it's just that the duke can't do that."

This seems to be another dead circle.

But Jiang Yuan couldn't hold on any longer.

It was difficult for him to speak complete words, and the twitching and twisting state became more and more intensive.

The corners of his eyes were wet, and the last few words popped out without turning his head: "Go...take her away...please..."

Zhou Qi cried so hard that his strength was almost exhausted.

Zhao Jiatong and Yang Shu gritted their teeth and carried her out.

Gao Qi didn't move, Qin Chen clamped the Duke again, pulled the rope from the curtain to tie him up.He looked up to Gao Qi and said, "Do me a favor."

"What are you doing?" Gao Qi was a little worried about him.

"Don't worry, I know." Qin Chen said, "Do you believe me?"

Gao Qi said nothing.

"Wasting time here, you're not such a reckless person, are you?"

Gao Qi stiffened his neck and choked out a sentence for a long time: "Say it."

"Go to the kitchen, find someone, and prepare firewood and oil, as much as you want."

"What?"

"Burn the castle."

Gao Qi was stunned: "When? Now?"

Qin Chen said, "Wait for my signal."

Gao Qi stared at him, gritted his teeth after a while and said: "You said, you have to stand still and give me the signal!"

Qin Chen said, "Okay, I've listened to it. I'll leave the rest to you."

He thought of a way, which was a little risky and a little crazy.

If You Huo knew...

He seated the duke in an armchair and began placing candles along the chair.

If You Huo knew...

Will you feel exciting and happy?Or give him a punch?

If it was before, he was sure it was the former, but now...he is suddenly not sure.

It's not clear what kind of psychology it comes from.

He just smiled at the moment when he thought of You Huo.

Anyway, don't let him know.

Qin Chen thought.

He lit a candle, looked at the patchwork people in the armchair, and reached for a long-forgotten card in his pocket.

He glanced in a certain direction out of the window, and then stepped into the circle of candles.
