Chapter 30: Ten Minutes
Instead of being old and dilapidated, it has become very clean, with new walls and furniture that look like an office in use.
Office?
Gatson stood up and walked around the room.
Desks, chairs, bookshelves, and bookshelves with a large number of medical books.
He looked back, and his eyes fell on the bed he had just been lying on.
He took two sharp steps back.
He saw a man sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a blank face.
And that person was the corpse on the ground just now, Lambert Mason!
At the moment, he still looked pale and wrinkled, his eyes glazed, and he didn't have any life.
Did he live? Still is......
Gatson stepped back, searching for memories to figure out if he knew the man.
Finally, he remembered. Yes, I really haven't seen this man, I've only heard his name.
Lambert Mason, who is not the uncle next door, but his father's assistant.
He remembered that his father had contacted him once or twice after he had come to a distant country, mentioning that he had an assistant named Lambert.
If it's an assistant, why did it turn into a corpse? Moreover, the chest and abdomen were dissected and soaked in formalin?
Gatson was puzzled, and Lambert in front of him had already stood up.
"Who are you?" Lambert said in their native language.
"Gatson."
"I don't know you. Are you the new doctor here? ”
"Sort of...... No, I'm not a doctor, I'm the dean's son. ”
"Mr. Monroe's son?"
Lambert stood up, his skin was much healthier, his eyes were bright, and he looked like a living person, completely different from the corpse.
"Yes."
Even though Lambert has become a lot more normal, Gatson still subconsciously took a step back.
"Have you come to your father? I'll go tell him. ”
"No...... Wait, wait...... My father? ”
Gatson suddenly felt a little melancholy, and in a trance he forgot where he was, and what year he was.
"Of course. Didn't you come to your father? ”
"Oh, of course. I wanted to surprise him, but couldn't find his office. It would be best if you could lead the way. Gatson said.
"Alright, please come with me."
With that, Lambert walked out the door.
Gatson was still in a trance, and followed him out a little numbly.

"One of the voters who wrote the wrong name will die."
The voice finished speaking, and fell silent again.
Shi Yuan's face was solemn, staring at the TV screen.
Ninety percent of the reason why today's situation is so abnormal is that this mission has come to an end.
Yes, today's vote, the names written by all living people, are correct.
Shi Yuan firmly believes in this.
Suddenly there were snowflakes on the TV screen, and there was a faint silhouette of a black human head inside.
The silhouette didn't move, and it remained in the same position.
Snowflakes sizzle and flicker every few seconds.
With each flicker, the outline of the black head became clear.
It was a ghost face, completely black, even the teeth and eyes were black.
Suddenly, the ghostface spoke, and the voice it made was the same voice they had heard in the past few days.
"It's a pity...... Today, no one writes wrong. So, the task is accomplished. ”
Shi Yuan looked at Yang Qin and found that she had become like a puppet without the breath of a living person, the skin on her face showed lines like wood grains, but her two eyes had become rotten, flowing with black-red liquid.
Wang Jingyi screamed in fright, jumped up and ran behind Shi Yuan to hide.
Shi Yuan didn't pay attention to him, and raised his head again to look at the TV screen.
The voice continued, "You'll have ten minutes to sort things out, after which you'll be teleported back to where you were before the mission began. Below, a ten-minute countdown, begins. ”
Shi Yuan immediately left the conference room, even though he had all his belongings with him.
The voice only said that the task was complete, but it did not say that the next step was safe. Whether it's Yang Qin or Qin Fuli, it's still possible to kill people.
The "power" behind the task would not be so kind to give the executor time to pack up, and neither Yang Qin nor Qin Fuli disappeared. Set aside ten minutes, not for their good, but most likely for the final killing.
He couldn't risk staying in the conference room and had to hide as quickly as possible. Only by being teleported back can you breathe a sigh of relief.
Wen Yuzhe and the others naturally understood this layer, and immediately ran out with Shi Yuan.
Although no one deliberately locks the doors, these doors are all hidden locks, and they are locked when they are closed.
Shi Yuan and the others had just run out of the conference room not far when they heard a strange sound of footsteps behind them.
The first room on the left was Shi Yuan's, he had already taken out the key, opened the door quickly, and rushed in.
"Come on in!"
Shi Yuan saw that the others were also behind him, so he didn't close the door immediately, but let Wen Yuzhe and the others run in quickly.
He also saw that Yang Qin and Qin Fuli—who had become extremely distorted at the moment, were all rotten, and every step they took, leaving a bloody footprint under their feet—were chasing after them not far behind.
Luckily, they don't move fast and have extremely strange postures, more like zombies in foreign TV dramas than ghosts.
After everyone ran into the room, Shi Yuan closed the door tightly and locked it again. Then, push through the desk and cabinet and press the door against it.
Ten minutes, just hold on for ten minutes!
It is not yet known what type of ghosts Yang Qin and Qin Fuli are. However, judging from the way they moved just now, it is likely that they are physical ghosts.
This type of ghost is still relatively easy to deal with. Of course, it is only a response, not a "victory" or "killing".
It is impossible for a living person to kill a ghost under any circumstances. Being able to insist on not dying is a great victory.
Shi Yuan turned his head nervously to look, but found that ...... Fang Yisheng is not in this room.
"Have you seen Fang Yisheng?" Shi Yuan asked in a low voice.
"I think I saw him running to another room." Wen Yuzhe said.
In the end, he was the captain of the criminal police, he was experienced and extremely observant, and even in such a situation, he also noticed the direction of Fang Yisheng's actions.
Shi Yuan said "I know" and didn't ask again.
The current situation is too special to open the door to find Fang Yisheng.
There is no such thing as a completely safe place here, and the fact that the living are together does not reduce the level of danger, except for a little psychological relief, they are all gathered in the same room, which does not have much practical significance.
Shi Yuan knew that Fang Yisheng should be afraid that he would suddenly turn into the dark world and affect them.
Except for silently hoping in his heart that Fang Yisheng would be safe, Shi Yuan couldn't do anything.
