[R18] Global College Entrance Examination – “Global College Entrance Examination” Chapter 81 [English]
by☆, Chapter 81 The patient seeking death
The medicine was very effective, and Zhou Qi’s fever finally subsided.
Miss Yang tied up her skirt and raised her chin, proudly turning back to her room.Gao Qi and Zhao Jiatong also breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: “Maybe we are overthinking it, it’s just a normal fever.”
Youhuo doesn’t think so.
He asked Qin Zhu the time and looked at the sky outside.
Gao Qi has been an invigilator for several years and is a bit new to exams.In terms of intuition, he is not as sensitive as the serious candidates. He asked strangely: “What’s wrong? What’s the problem?”
Just as You Huo was about to open his mouth, Qin Jiu said, “I think the timing is a bit coincidental.”
Youhuo closed his mouth again: “Yeah.”
“What coincidence?” Gao Qi asked again.
“It’s time for Miss Zhou’s fever to subside,” Qin Zhu said.
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t you think it’s just the right time for Miss Zhou to wake up?” Qin Jiu pointed to the balcony: “It’s dawn, all the taboos at night have been lifted, and her fever has gone away.”
It’s like… the fever is to make sure she stays in the house quietly and doesn’t go anywhere.
Gao Qi laughed and said: “No way, what kind of exam questions are so kind? How is it possible that it also has such a function?”
“Yeah, it’s quite strange.” Qin Jiu pointed at Youhuo and said, “Isn’t Mr. Examiner confirming?”
Youhuo: “…”
All the words were finished by someone, and he didn’t even need to speak.
he stood behind the gate, listening to the sounds outside, and glanced at Qin Jiu: “Your surname is Zhu?”
Qin Zhu said: “Occasionally, this function can be triggered.”
he Liulioda followed Youhuo to the door. His hand was already holding the door handle, and he suddenly added: “But there are prerequisites.”
Youhuo looked at he for a moment: “…for example?”
“For example…it depends on who you’re targeting?”
After Qin Zhu finished speaking, he opened the door a crack.
Outside the door, the servants who had disappeared all night suddenly returned, standing there respectfully, one on each side.
They had expressionless faces and stiff postures, as if they had been staying here all night without moving.
The morning light shone in from several windows, as if nothing happened overnight.
The manservant turned his head when he heard the knock on the door and met Qin Zhu’s eyes.
Qin Jiu greeted calmly: “Good morning.”
The footman said, “Good morning.”
The door slammed shut again.
Two seconds later, the manservant suddenly turned his head and stared at the door: “???”
Another asked hoarsely, “What’s wrong?”
“The gentleman who lives here…looks like this???”
“It seems not.”
Separated by a door, Qin Jiu pressed the door and smiled at You Huo, saying, “Run quickly.”
Youhuo: “…”
The next second, Gao Qi felt two figures flash past his eyes. In a blink of an eye, they went up to the balcony, jumped over, and disappeared one after another.
When he passed by, he pushed him and pushed him directly to the door.
The valet opened the door from the outside regardless of etiquette, and what he saw was Gao Qi leaning against the door, posing.
The two looked at each other.
The footman said: “Did you open the door just now?”
Gao Qi: “Yes.”
Servant: “…”
Although only the lower half of the face is visible under the mask, but…
He went to the next door without belief.As soon as he opened the door, Qin Jiu came out of the bedroom carrying his coat. He looked calm and slightly surprised: “Is something wrong?”
Yang Shu sat on the carpet with her long skirt untied, taking care of her bag. She turned to the valet and said, “Who taught you the etiquette to enter a lady’s room without knocking? Get out.”
Servant: “…”
He closed the door and calmed down outside for two seconds. Did he think that I was blind?
***
Although Zhou Qi’s fever was gone, his overall condition was not good.
As Yang Shu said, he seemed to be frightened and didn’t eat breakfast.
She In this way, Youhuo in the same group has a little more worries.
So that morning, he and Qin Zhu were honest for the first time, or in other words, they changed their strategies and decided to adopt Zhao Jiatong’s advice and follow the plot line to visit the town first.
At 8 o’clock in the morning, a group of black carriages stopped outside the castle, waiting lifelessly.
The guests got on the bus one after another, rounded the corner of Calton Hill and disappeared down the road.
In the west tower of the castle, the Duke stood behind the window, raising the curtain and watching from a distance.
“Sir.” 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 and the corners of his mouth sank, looking like he was in a very bad mood.
The whole room was filled with a dangerous sense of oppression, and the decaying smell of death was silent.
Douglas said nothing.
After a moment, the Duke suddenly said: “It didn’t work again this time.”
He turned around and asked the housekeeper: “Why is this…?”
He touched his chest, and 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 lowered his head and said, “Just like I like my Alyssa. Although that woman’s face is far worse than Alyssa,… Alyssa is such a gentle person, so she shouldn’t blame her too much. Why? Why hasn’t Alyssa returned to me, Douglas?”
The housekeeper stood with his hands down and said in an old voice: “I don’t know, maybe the lady doesn’t love this gentleman enough.”
The Duke’s mood finally improved a little.
he thought for a moment and said, “Yes, that’s it.”
“But I’m still unhappy,” the Duke said softly. “I’ve tried too many times and waited too long. My patience is almost exhausted.”
The butler said: “There will definitely come a day.”
The Duke said: “By the way, have you dealt with these kind-hearted guests?”
He said softly: “Although my Alyssa has not come back, they have helped me a little bit and made a small contribution. We can’t let them just be displayed there.”
The butler lowered his eyes and said, “It’s taken care of. Follow your instructions and let them rest in peace as before.”
“That’s good, that’s good…” the Duke said, “it won’t cause me any trouble, will it?”
The butler’s old voice said: “No, sir.”
The Duke patted he on the shoulder: “I can rest assured that you will do your best… How old are you since you came here?”
“Four years old, sir, you saved my life, and I’ve been here ever since.”
The Duke said: “Except for Alyssa, you are the best to me in this world.”
“That’s right, sir.”
“You will never betray me, right?” the Duke said, staring into his eyes.
“No.”
“You will always listen to me, right?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Then quickly change your body to a younger one. I think that…that guest named is very good.”
The Duke thought about it and said: “The bodies of those two guests are so perfect, height, muscles, lines, strength… You can divide them up, one for me, right?”
Douglas hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, “Okay.”
“It’s a pity that the guests are always shy and timid. I watched those two for a long time at breakfast today. I think they are too gentlemen. Can you think of some way to make those two perfect gentlemen make mistakes that make me unhappy, so that I have a good reason to give them a little punishment.”
Douglas thought for a moment and said, “I’ll try.”
Douglas, the violent butler, thought for a while and decided to follow the guests to the small town – where he had a whole day to seduce the guests into making mistakes.
No need to make any big mistakes.
There are so many visiting guests that those cowards don’t dare to do anything too outrageous.
A small mistake is enough to make us tremble.
***
The weather was hot and humid in midsummer, 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 poked 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 candidates looked at each other and followed the nun one after another.
The nun stretched out her hand 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 started buzzing.
“Zhang Pengyi also has his girlfriend…”
“Yes, those two who were late last night. Where are they? They didn’t come?”
“Maybe…maybe you slept in? Or are you planning to give up scoring points on this side of town?”
…
A lot of people have terrible 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?” Youhuo suddenly asked.
Zhao Jiatong said: “I didn’t notice, it seems to be downstairs?”
“It’s directly below your room.” Qin Jiu said.
“How do you know?” Zhao Jiatong asked in surprise.
“I took another look last night.”
Youhuo looked at Qin Jiu, but he didn’t speak yet.
Qin Jiu nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go check it out later.”
Zhao Jiatong: “…” Am I deaf?
***
The chapel was dark and gloomy.
As soon as we entered the door, everyone couldn’t help but hold their breath.
The smell is terrible.
The smell of sour sweat, rotting meat, and blood mixed together, making it smell as unpleasant as possible.
The tables and chairs in the church have been dismantled, and old beds are placed everywhere. At a rough count, there are more than 20 beds.There is a mass curled up on every bed…
“Oh my god…”
“Is that a human???”
Sighs sounded one after another.
Some with shallow throats have already begun to retch.
The nun lowered her eyes and said, “These are all patients who have been ill 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 rumors…”
Youhuo looked at the nearby bed.
I saw that the man on the bed had large and small sores on his face, and one side of his chin was bloody and bloody.
He huddled in the quilt whose original color could not be seen clearly, and scratched his face while moaning, his fingertips turned red.
The nun sighed and added: “Unfortunately, there are not many doctors who can really help patients. Some doctors failed to save them from the disease, and instead became infected.”
As she spoke, she led the candidates to their seats.
After they were all assigned, they discovered that there were a total of 26 beds here. If Zhang Pengyi and his girlfriend were still there, there would be exactly one candidate for 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 said softly “ah”.
The bed was just a dirty quilt and no one was there.
“Hey, I’ve got my wrong ideas again.” The nun’s muttered words fell on You Huo’s ears.
She walked quickly to the door and said to everyone: “A disobedient patient slipped away. I have to go and find him. As for the remaining patients, I will leave it to you.”
“By the way, just a reminder, they have been sick for too long and have a bad temper. You… treat them with caution. In addition, be sure not to touch their sores, as they will be infected once they are touched.”
She held the door with both hands, tilted her head and said to everyone: “Being infected is a terrible thing, you will die.”
“Good luck to you.”
After saying that, she closed the door.
The sound of locks falling came from outside.
The moment the door lock fell, a hand suddenly grabbed You Huo’s forearm, with a smelly, wet and slimy feeling.
You Huo lowered his head and saw that the patient in charge of he was clutching him tightly with bloody sores on his hands…
She has the nerve to cry at him.
