[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 85 [English]

☆、Chapter 85 Quick decision

This night, the guests slept less soundly than the night before.

Maybe it was because they only had a few bites of the food at the dinner, or maybe it was because they knew what had happened in the castle.

They already thought this place was eerie, but now it became even more unsettling.

sensitive For example, Zhou Qi said that he smelled a stink, which was stronger than before.

Zhao Jiatong searched the bottom of the bed and the cabinet, not even letting go of the pillows and quilts. He pinched every corner, but he couldn’t find the source.

Before going to bed, Zhou Qi suddenly lay on the wall next to the door, sniffed for a moment with the tip of his nose against the stone wall, and said, “Sister Tong…it seems to be coming from the wall.”

Hearing this sentence made Zhao Jiatong’s hair stand on end.

But when she gets closer, she can’t smell anything.

“Xiao Zhou, can you tell me honestly, what did you do before?” Zhao Jiatong joked with her, trying to lighten the atmosphere.

Zhou Qi waved his hand and said: “No, it’s really not a magic stick. It’s just a dog’s nose.”

She pulled off her coat as a quilt, lay down on the carpet, looked at the candle chandelier above her head and was lost in thought for a while, and suddenly said: “But I have never been so sensitive before. Maybe this exam is special.”

Zhao Jiatong lay down next to her, thinking to herself: It is indeed special.

So special…it was as if there was something in the examination room that was secretly sending warnings to Zhou Qi.

Zhao Jiatong closed his eyes and pondered secretly, paying careful attention to the movement next door.

As for the bastard thing that A and 001 did together, she is a duke and she is going crazy. If she doesn’t settle the score with them, she will be a ghost.Once the Duke comes looking for trouble, she will secretly follow him out to take a look.

However, when there was real movement outside, she failed to act as planned.

Because Zhou Qi had a fever again.

The girl had a burning fever and a nightmare.

She frowned and murmured in her sleep, but she couldn’t wake up.

Zhao Jiatong came closer and barely heard she say: “…I think…why don’t you let me see you…”

Then he sobbed and cried.

I had a high fever for two consecutive nights, which was very strange.

Zhao Jiatong couldn’t help but think of Qin Jiu’s words… This disease seemed to be deliberately holding Zhou Qi down to prevent her from running out late at night.

Do you not want anything to happen to her?

Still don’t want her to see anyone?

***

The corridors were dimly lit late at night, and the servants who filled the castle in the evening were nowhere to be seen. The doors of each room were empty, as if they had never existed.

Suddenly, there were footsteps on the stairs.

Several male servants turned up to the third floor. The leader held an oil lamp in his hand, and the others lined up behind him.

Their faces were half-dark in the flickering lights, their facial features were tense, their expressions were stiff and cold, and they exuded a sense of death.

The poor butler Douglas turned into a pig and could not help the Duke for the time being, so the task of catching people fell on their shoulders.

“Right ahead,” the leading manservant whispered.

He pointed to the door of the house not far away and instructed another male servant: “Knock on the door, and the others will surround the room.”

“Where’s the other one?” The servant who knocked on the door raised his hand and asked hesitantly: “Didn’t the master want us to catch two?”

The leader said: “It’s right next door. After you’ve invited this one, go and invite that one. We have a large number of people, so there’s no rush.”

“Oh, okay.”

The companions formed a semicircle, and the servant knocked on the wooden door.

Benedict——

Just after the first knock, the door opened.

Servant: “?”

Youhuo held the door and looked at him without any trouble.

The manservant opened his mouth and forgot his words for two seconds, then said mechanically: “Sir, good evening. Are you… not sleeping?”

“What do you think?” Youhuo was taller than the manservant. When he looked at him, his eyes dropped. The immortal man was so cold that he panicked after being looked at like this twice.

The manservant got stuck again and didn’t answer for a long time.

The one who was still holding the lantern added: “I haven’t slept at all. The Duke would like to invite you to come over and have a chat.”

While he was speaking, a certain male servant on the side had his hands behind his back and clenched an iron rod tightly.

In my impression, guests always panic and try to scream when they are invited.

Butler Douglas always carries some tools with him, and this iron rod is what he often uses.

The footman was ready to swing the guest over as soon as he called.

Unexpectedly, the other party said: “Oh.”

The manservant got carried away and almost slapped the leader in the face.

An embarrassed expression slowly appeared on their pale faces, and the one holding the lantern took a step back to make way for You Huo.

Unexpectedly, the guest took a step and then paused. He turned towards the bedroom and said, “Let’s go, hurry up.”

The manservant was stunned for a moment and said, “Why, isn’t Madam sleeping either?”

Youhuo heard the word “ma’am” and glanced at he.

The footman straightened his face and said: “The Duke is only inviting sir by name now, husband——”

He wanted to say Madam will talk later.

As a result, Youhuo opened the crack in the door wider, revealing the man behind him who was a little taller than he.

Servant: “?”

He “husband” can’t go on.

He stared at the lower half of Qin Jiu’s face, stopped for a second, stepped away and looked at the door number, and then asked calmly: “The Duke said that the couple shared a room, and it was midnight. Why are you here, sir?”

“What do you think?” Qin Jiu said.

Servant: “…”

He tasted it for a while, with a numb expression: “The Duke doesn’t like disloyal people. We were originally looking for you. In this case, both of you, please come with me.”

Qin Zhu didn’t care and came out calmly.

Then, he turned his head and looked into the room.

Inside, a third voice yawned and said vaguely: “Hey, wait until I put on my shoes.”

Servant: “???”

Gao Qi jumped out while tugging on his boots. The unshaven man came face to face with the male servant.

“…”

The servant’s bluish-white face was unpredictable, and after a moment he waved his hand: “Take them all away!”

Just kidding, three men…

How could such a mess be accommodated in the castle!

Just for this reason, I will definitely scare them to tears.

***

The corridor is still dark, and an identical oil painting hangs high on the stone wall. The people in the painting are half hidden in the darkness, as if they are peering at them from top to bottom through a mask.

Qin Zui was followed by three male servants, surrounding him in a half-packed posture, walking at the front.

There were also three male servants surrounding Youhuo, seven or eight meters behind them.

Two steps back were Gao Qi and the other servants.

The oil lamp in the footman’s hand creaked, and the light flickered like a pool of restless water, casting a long and swaying shadow behind Qin Zhu.

Youhuo looked away from the oil painting and saw this scene.

He suddenly felt that he seemed to have seen this scene many times…

The same long corridor, the same lingering sense of voyeurism.

There is always a group of people behind Qin Zhu, and it is the same behind him. Occasionally, you can hear Gao Qi’s long yawn.

Sometimes they came head-on, sometimes they walked in tandem, like now.

No matter what kind, there is always a distance that is neither long nor short.

I don’t know why…

He always felt that Qin Jiu would suddenly stop, holding a gear or something else, and chatting lazily with the people surrounding him.

And he, with Gao Qi and his gang… kept walking.

When passing side by side, Qin Zhu would cast his gaze in the middle of the conversation and then look away at the first touch.

…

“Why are you walking faster and faster? It’s because of your long legs, right?” Gao Qi’s voice sounded.

Youhuo suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had unknowingly quickened his pace and was only a few steps away from the people in front of him.

Qin Jiu stopped when he turned the corner, looking past the three male servants and landing on You Huo.

This time, he didn’t stop at the first touch. He blinked at Youhuo and said, “Come on, don’t keep the Duke waiting.”

As they went down to the first floor and got closer to the bedroom at the bottom of the west tower, there were movements in other rooms in the castle.

If the valets walked slower, they would hear cell phone alarms ringing one after another through the wooden doors.

After a while, a door on the third floor quietly opened.

A head popped out, looked around, turned around and said to the people in the room: “It’s time to go down, I heard some noise just now.”

Immediately afterwards, another door not far away opened.

The second head popped out and waved in this direction.

Then the third door, the fourth door…

In the blink of an eye, most of the candidates came out of the room.

This is their previous agreement.

Since the curse can be lifted by killing the Duke, why not do it now?

Finish the exam early and take a break early.

They lowered their voices, made silent gestures, and dived to the first floor at the same time.

***

The huge bedroom on the first floor of the west tower was eerily quiet.

The Duke wore a long hood, the silk hem sweeping the ground.

he is arranging candles around a douglas.

He’s face was astonishingly white, as if the blood had stopped flowing, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth showed that he was in a very bad mood at the moment.He was angry, both at the pig pretending to be dead in front of him and at the incoming guests.

After placing the candles, he straightened up, pulled a piece of cloth and wiped the bone chopping knife carefully.

Squinting his eyes and licking his lips, he said: “Douglas, your negligence makes me a little worried. Without you, it would take some effort and time for me to control you two.”

“Of course, this little effort and time is insignificant.”

After all, most of the time, the guests are stunned.

“I hope that when those stupid servants dragged those two gentlemen over, their faces were facing up. I told them, but it’s hard to say whether they will remember, after all… After all, they are really stupid, and there is still a gap between them and living people.”

He touched the blade and muttered: “But when I was alive, I didn’t see how smart they were. I always remember that one time Alyssa just caught a cold, and those idiots were able to take care of her more and more seriously, and it took a month to get better.”

The Duke paused, glanced under the bed and said: “My Alyssa…hey…when I take care of those two gentlemen, I will find their wives for you. Wait a moment, wait a little longer…” He joked softly and said: “Let our housekeeper behave like a man first.”

There were footsteps outside the door.

The Duke hummed a tune excitedly, put the knife behind his back, and stood in front of the door ready to greet the poor guest.

As soon as the door opened, the servant lowered his eyes and respectfully came in with three people.

Three men…

Three men who were taller and stronger than the Duke.

“…”

The Duke stopped laughing for a moment.

The tallest one, Mr. Perfect, glanced at the pig and the candle, smiled and said, “Hey, are you all ready?”

As he spoke, he took out two pairs of white gentleman gloves from his pocket, patted them and handed them to him.

Another cold Mr. Perfect took it, put it on his hand, then took out a knife and said: “Quickly, cleanly.”
