Bai Yao had contacted her parents using her phone watch before, saying that there were strange people in the castle. Bai Yu and his wife hurried to find her, and they met Mr. William on the way. The three adults then rushed over to find the child together.

But the weirdo didn't see it. Instead, he saw the two children hiding in the stairwell and hugging each other as if they were playing house. At this time, the difference between the male and female parents was revealed.

Bai Yu's face darkened. He picked up Leo and put him aside, then took his daughter's hand and helped her stand up.

Leo kept his head down, not wanting anyone to see his miserable appearance with red eyes.

Mr. William touched his son's head to comfort him.

They returned to the empty room and Mr. William turned on the switch. In the bright room, everyone saw a skeleton "corpse" covered with a black robe lying on the ground.

Wen Wan said: "Is this a model?"

Mr. William stepped forward, squatted down, touched the "skull" with his hand, and said: "This is not a real human skeleton."

The castle's steward came running over and saw the things on the ground. He quickly explained, "These are the makeup props that everyone prepared for Halloween last year. They are all placed in this warehouse and can be used for Halloween this year."

Mr. William said to his son in a gentle voice: "Leo, you heard it, there is no skeleton missionary in the castle. The so-called skeleton missionary is just a story in the legend."

Leo cried out, "No, I clearly saw it move!"

To adults, moving skeleton missionaries are completely fictitious, and only children would believe them.

Mr. William said patiently: "Leo, the room was dark at the time, and you are always afraid of the dark, so it is normal that you made a mistake out of fear."

"I wasn't mistaken. I did see it move. The sword in its hand was very sharp and left scratches on the floor!"

However, at this moment, in front of everyone's eyes, the floor was intact, let alone scratches, because few people came here, and there were not even a few footprints on the dusty floor.

Although Mr. William would indulge children's reasonable playfulness, this does not mean that he would indulge children in self-deception. His expression became much more serious. "Leo, you have to face the reality. Plastic props will not move. You can't keep deceiving yourself."

Leo was a stubborn person. Even if his respected father denied his opinion, he would always stick to his own ideas. "What I said is true. The Skeleton Preacher really appeared!"

His blond hair almost stood up like a cat with its fur standing on end. He quickly walked to Bai Yao and pulled her out. "You saw it too, didn't you?"

Bai Yao told the truth, "I did hear the noise through the door."

Mr. William said objectively: "That is to say, Yaoyao did not see the moving skeleton figure with her own eyes after opening the door."

Bai Yao heard the noise and after opening the door, she only saw a vague figure in the corner, just like the "skeleton" lying on the ground, but she did not see the figure move, nor did it catch up with her.

Leo stared at Bai Yao with his blue eyes, hoping that she would stand on his side.

But Bai Yao chose to only tell the facts that she saw, "Yes, I didn't see that figure move."

Under the circumstances at that time, Leo sat on the ground, looking at the figure in the dark with fear. Bai Yao naturally thought that there was a dangerous person standing there, so she pulled Leo and ran away.

Mr. William looked at his son, "Leo, you are a big boy now, you can't confuse reality with fantasy."

Leo's whole body tensed up, and extreme anger burst out on his delicate face, "Why don't you believe me? I didn't lie!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away quickly.

Mr. William sighed and said to his friend: "I'm sorry to make you laugh. Leo is a spoiled child. He will behave like this when something goes wrong."

Bai Yu replied: "The child is still young, just spend more time to take care of him."

Bai Yao looked at the direction where the boy ran away, and suddenly she understood why he always made some noise from time to time to attract attention.

Leo was not there for breakfast the next day.

Mr. William asked the servant to leave a breakfast and send it to Leo's room, telling everyone not to worry and to eat slowly.

Wen Wan said, "Leo is probably still sulking because of what happened last night. He's still a child after all, why don't you go and comfort him."

Mr. William smiled and said, "He is a boy, so he can't be spoiled like this. He will get better naturally after a while."

The single old father works away from home all year round and cannot really consider the education of his children very thoroughly. He just thinks that it was like this before. Leo would make unreasonable demands on the phone from time to time. Let the child calm down and everything will be fine.

Bai Yao finished her breakfast and returned to her room, using the excuse of taking a rest, but in fact she was continuing to catch up. As soon as she opened the door and walked into the room, the boy sitting on the bed sneered, "Hey, Baozi-face is back."

Leo was dressed simply today, with the hem of his white shirt tucked into loose black suit shorts. His calf lines were very beautiful, and the pair of small leather shoes on his feet were spotless.

He folded his arms, crossed his right leg over his left leg, and narrowed his blue eyes, revealing his harsh expression, like a turbulent undercurrent in the azure sea.

Bai Yao pretended to be confused, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

He gritted his teeth, "Have you forgotten what you did and said yesterday?"

Bai Yao tried to recall it for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Are you talking about you collapsing on the ground yesterday and I pulled you up and ran away?"

"No!" Leo was so angry that he stood up straight, "It was you who said yesterday that you didn't see the Skeleton Missionary!"

Bai Yao looked innocent, "I'm telling the truth. I really didn't see the missionaries take any action. As a good child, I certainly can't lie to others."

Leo was desperate to find a sense of identity, and Bai Yao, who had gone through life and death with him, should have been the person who could identify with him the most. He angrily said: "As long as you say that you also saw the Skeleton Missionary, everyone will believe me! And the white-clothed ghost from last night..."

Bai Yao: "White-robed ghost?"

Leo glanced at Bai Yao suspiciously, "When you left the house, didn't you encounter the white-clothed ghost wandering in the corridor?"

"That white-robed ghost you mentioned, is he holding a sword in his hand?"

Leo nodded, "Not bad."

So, Bai Yao wanted to laugh but didn't want to laugh, and the scene suddenly became a little funny.
