Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Leo regained consciousness in a dim environment, and this environment looked very familiar to him. This was the place that he once regarded as a nightmare - the West Tower.

He sat on a chair with his hands tied behind his back. The ropes were tied very tightly, leaving no room for movement. Although the current situation was clearly not favorable for him, he was only worried about one problem.

How long had he been unconscious?

Yaoyao woke up from her nap, what should she do if she can’t find him?

"It's good to have a young body. I thought you would wake up in a while, but I didn't expect you to wake up so soon." Mr. William stood in front, and even with the help of a cane, he was trying to keep his back straight, as if he was still the strong young man he was back then, instead of an old and dying man.

Leo's expression showed confusion at the right time, "Father, what are you doing?"

His mood changed just right, and Mr. William finally felt a little relieved.

William said: "I am waiting."

Leo asked: "What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the missionaries to show up."

Leo said: "You said that the Skeleton Preacher is just a legendary figure. He does not exist."

Mr. William smiled and said, "No, of course he exists, just like there are immortals in this world... No, according to your understanding, perhaps he should be called a vampire."

People fear the immortals, so they call them vampires.

Of course, they are not as evil as the legends say. It is said that they can turn into bats and suck blood...but that is all nonsense. They just mastered a "technology" earlier than the general public, and they call this "technology" "immortality."

All it takes is a drop of blood, a small piece of skin, or even a strand of hair. With careful nurturing, they can slowly grow from a cell and become a living person.

The body will always age, and the soul will need a new body. Children raised for this purpose are their best "containers".

Perhaps someone will soon think, isn’t this just cloning?

But their "immortality" is very different from cloning.

From the first day Leo was born, William consciously cultivated him into a gentleman. He should be polite, gentle and reliable, respectful to elders and friendly to peers.

Just because Mr. William is such a person, he needs to replicate a child who has the same experience and life as himself. Only in this way, when adapting to the body of the container, the rejection will be minimized.

Mr. William's life is actually very simple.

Two hundred years ago, he was a rich young man who received elite education.

When he was six years old, he met his fiancée.

After that, you will learn how to manage the family business, how to become the best heir, and how to become the most perfect person in the eyes of others.

When he turns eighteen, he will be engaged to his fiancée.

Then, he would go out alone for a while, exercising his abilities through traveling.

Then, at the age of 22, he will marry his fiancée in a foreign land.

Two years later, his wife will leave him because of his boredom, but because of an "accident", his wife will die in a car accident.

He returned to his hometown with a child, feeling lost.

If someone were to advise him that he should remarry while he is still young, he would express sadly that he still could not forget his wife who had left him. Then everyone would say that he was truly affectionate and loyal.

Then, he will work alone and raise his children. Although his life is dull, it is a complete life.

This is the "lifetime" William needs.

He needs a "container" that is highly compatible with himself, which requires the "container" to replicate the path he has taken, experience everything he has experienced, and then shape his thoughts, spirit, and body into his younger self.

Only in this way can he have a higher degree of compatibility with the container. Even if a different person is used, because the "father and son" have similar appearances and personalities, no one will notice anything unusual, and naturally it will not attract the attention of those damned people in the Holy See who claim to be righteous men.

Relying on this method, he lived for a hundred years, and then another hundred years. As for those "containers", who would care about them?

But Leo ruined it all!

He was rebellious, arrogant, and conceited. Except for his appearance, he was nothing like William. William certainly thought about changing his temperament, but no matter how gentle or tough the means were, it was all useless!

Leo is different from those "containers". When he was young, he was indeed like a puppet that could be manipulated at will, but since he was six years old, he seemed to have grown his own flesh and blood and soul. In other words, he has a "self".

Since a soul was born in his body, he would definitely not allow another soul to take over his body.

So, over the past ten years, all Mr. William could get from Leo was a pair of "eyes" that regained their youth.

Mr. William felt extremely angry. The failure of the plan accelerated his aging. He could no longer wait slowly. Even if Leo did not follow his life script and the degree of adaptability was not high, he could only choose to do it himself, deprive him of his soul and snatch this young body.

"Leo." Mr. William pinched the boy's face angrily. The more the boy looked like him, the angrier he became. "You are the one who ruined everything. You should have died without knowing it. It is because of your disobedience that you must now endure the pain of death. You are my best container. When you disappear, I will replace you and become Leo."

This is why Mr. William had Leo sign the document, transferring all of William's property to his son, but no one knew that William would become his son, so the huge fortune was still in his hands.

Leo asked: "After you replace me, what are you going to do with Yaoyao?"

Mr. William snorted coldly, "According to your marriage contract, of course I can only marry her."

Bai Yao is the fiancée chosen by Mr. William for "Container". Naturally, she follows the script of his wife who will die in an accident. In Mr. William's memory, his wife was a rich lady who was as proud and noble as Bai Yao, but would listen to the teachings of her elders and follow the rules.

But something went wrong.

Not only did Leo not follow the script he had written, Bai Yao was obviously not a person who followed the rules. They shouldn't have started dating so early, and they certainly shouldn't have slept together so early.

In Mr. William's plan, he should completely replace the "container" on the wedding day and obtain Leo's identity, and Bai Yao will of course be his bride.

But Bai Yao had already slept with Leo, which made William extremely angry.

"You said you were going to marry my future wife?"

The boy's voice echoed in the dim room. The only light on was flickering without any wind.

William came into contact with the blond boy's eyes, which were faintly glowing red, and for no reason he felt a chill from behind.
