The duke who was sewn was still filled with blood.

The last knife was nailed down and blood splashed out.

You "Huo" tilted his head to avoid it, but he still had a few stars on his neck.

The bright red blood flowed down, and winding traces were drawn along the thin neckline. It was abruptly dazzling, but inexplicably exuded an attraction.

Qin Jue pinched the duke's crazy struggle with his hands, knelt on one knee on his palm, and looked up and saw this scene.

The wall fire swayed, and they were very close.

You can feel the body temperature between each other's movements.

Qin Zuo stared at the two winding blood lines for a few seconds, pointed his neck with his finger and said, "Here..."

"Huh?" You Huo looked up when he heard the sound, his light-colored eyes were filled with questions, but his hands pressed the knife deeper without hesitation.

He had a cool and dangerous temperament when doing this, and was as tempting as the red marks flowing on his white porcelain neck.

Qin Jue stopped his voice, looked at the shaking fire for a while and said, "It's nothing, the blood almost touched the collar."

He said, reaching out to erase the bloodline.

The fabric of the white gloves is thicker than silk, and when you rub the skin, you can almost feel the clear texture on it.

You "Huo"'s neck tightened for a moment, but he didn't get out of the way.

He just turned his head slightly, squinted his eyes lightly and quickly, and his eyes fell back to Qin Jue's hand.

The gloves didn't fit completely, and they wrapped loosely around the other's slender fingers.

"Wipe off." Qin Jue rubbed his fingertips and spread the blood on his thumb and index finger to him, "But... Is my hands heavy just now, or is the skin of the examiner too thin?"

He glanced at You Huo's neck and said, "Your neck is a little red."

Gao Qi contributed a wave of swords and swords to clear the surrounding battlefield.

After looking through the things in the duke's house, he was about to say something to You. Qin Jue said something, but as soon as he took a step, he instinctively retracted his feet.

The Duke was still twitching, and the atmosphere between the two was strange.

I can't say that there is any strange thing, but it makes him unable to step out of that leg.

Maybe that circle of candles has a barrier.

Gao Qixin said.

***

The Duke's movements became smaller and smaller. Finally, his fingers twitched twice. His eyes were wide open under the mask, and his pupils slowly spread.

You "Huo" let go of his hand, pulled his sword and stood up, touched his neck and kicked his calves and said, "I finally died."

"Is it really dead?" Gao Qi leaned over and circled around the duke's stiff body, reached out to pick his mask, and then used the tip of the knife to push away his collar.

The fine traces are like stitches, which form a dividing line, dividing different skins. Observing closely makes people feel chilling and nausea.

"Fuck... I really made a fuss." Gao Qi cursed in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a long-lost voice suddenly sounded in the room-

【Score item detected.】

[Candidates You "Hua", Qin Jue, Gao Qi triggered the score points in total.]

【1, the Duke's heart stops beating.】

【Specific scores are as follows:】

[The assassination of the duke totals 9 points, distributed according to the proportion of efforts. The last 1 knife totals 1 point.]

[The scores of each candidate have been recalculated.]

Gao Qi added 2 points.

Qin Jue's assassination increased to 4 points.

You "Huo" assassination increased to 3 points, and the last strike was added to 1 point.

Gao Qi was stunned for a long time and muttered, "I'm so indulgent to follow you, I almost forgot to make up for it."

Not to mention him, even You "Huo", Qin Jue was stunned for a moment.

The test system is so quiet that they almost forgot its existence.

"But it's a bit strange." Gao Qi said: "The Duke is dead. Shouldn't those patients be freed? Then we should have met the conditions. Why don't we just finish the exam, but give extra points?"

"It may take time for the patient to recover," said Qin Jue.

Gao Qi nodded: "It shouldn't take long, and maybe it will be all right as soon as tomorrow morning."

This idea made him happy.

He stood up, but found You Huo staring at the Duke's face, looking thoughtful.

"What's wrong?" Gao Qi asked.

You "huo" said: "The face looks a little familiar."

"Did you know?" Qin Jue also looked over.

You "Huo" shook his head.

This familiarity is far from the level of recognition. He feels that he has seen this face in the past two days, but he just glanced over and was not deeply impressed.

Until Gao Qi took out his cell phone and planned to leave a souvenir for the duke who was sewing it, You "Huo" suddenly remembered.

"Zhou Qi's boyfriend."

"who?"

Gao Qi and Qin Jue were both stunned.

"How do you know what Xiao Zhou's boyfriend looks like?" Gao Qi wondered.

"Mobile screensaver photo." You "Huo" explained.

Zhou Qi's mobile phone screensaver is a photo of her boyfriend. Whether it's dazed at dinner or taking out a mobile phone to illuminate it, this face is bright and dark in Zhou Qi's hands every day.

When he was separated in a room, Zhou Qi mentioned a sentence to You're confused in order to avoid embarrassment.

When I said that, my face and ears were red, and I was mostly worried, but there was also a hint of unhidden smile.

Anyone with eyes can tell that this young couple has a good relationship.

Zhou Qi said that if she could get out of here alive, the first thing she had to do was to drag her boyfriend straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"I remembered that when you said that!"

Gao Qi's face changed in a "color" way. He squatted down and stared at the face for a long time, murmured: "It seems to be... that little Zhou--"

He said it and got stuck, sighed for a long time: "If that girl knows, my god..."

The bedroom was silent.

The three of them looked at the duke's pale face and were in a complicated mood.

Once it is quiet here, the movement outside becomes obvious.

Gao Qi couldn't help but look up at the door, frowned and said, "What's going on? What's going on outside? This is?"

They suddenly realized that the other candidates should have come out and as agreed, they were only a few minutes slower than them.

Even if you climb... it's time to climb into the door, why are there no one still there yet?

boom--

There was another noise outside, as if someone was carrying some heavy object and hitting it on the wall.

Then there were vague vocals, mixed shouting.

It sounds like a turbulent war.

"Go out and have a look." Qin Jue said.

You "Huo" threw the blood from the tip of the knife and walked towards the door.

Just after taking two steps, he returned as if he remembered something.

He picked up the mask on the ground and put it on the Duke's face again.

I don’t know if Zhou Qi will go downstairs.

She should have looked at the young man's face again, but she should not have been in this situation or in this way.

***

As soon as the three of them left the bedroom, they were shocked by the howling of ghosts and wolves in the castle.

I have never been so intuitively aware of how powerful the sound insulation of a room is.

In the narrow and dim corridor, the oil paintings were giggling and the wooden frames hit the stone walls, as if they would fall down at any time.

At first glance, it looked like an earthquake was coming, and the entire castle was trembling.
