Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

In order to create a "younger self", Mr. William spent a lot of effort. When he realized that Leo was destined not to be under his control, he decided that when the time came, he would take Leo's life cleanly. Even though the effectiveness of such a "container" would be greatly reduced, he could still speed up the progress and cultivate the next "container".

If his life script had really gone according to plan, in his imagination, Bai Yao should have died "accidentally" in the second year after they got married.

There was something wrong with Leo's reaction, but as a being regarded as a monster by others, William was only startled for a moment and then calmed down.

Mr. William smiled and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, you think you and Bai Yao have a good relationship, so she must have noticed that Leo who walked out of the West Tower tonight has changed, right?"

Leo said nothing.

Mr. William smiled, "Then I can only tell you that what you think will not happen, Leo. I know you, and it is not difficult to imitate your appearance. I have changed bodies one after another, and those fiancées did not notice anything wrong."

Moreover, Bai Yao was someone he had watched grow up, and he had some understanding of Bai Yao, so Mr. William was confident that he could perfectly disguise himself as Leo and replace his fake life.

Leo asked calmly, "If that's the case, why don't you do it?"

Of course Mr. William wanted to do it, but he was still missing one necessary thing.

It was something sealed in a box that had been separated from him for many years - a "heart".

Back then, he was hunted by the people of the Holy See. Even though he hid in this castle, the other side was still relentless in pursuit of him. It was like a mad dog, as if it had a dog's nose, always able to follow his scent and find his hiding place.

Mr. William was really pushed too hard. He knew that if he didn't think of a way, the missionary would pierce his heart with a sword, making it impossible for him to regain his youth with the help of the "container" body.

He had to find a way to save himself.

So he took out his heart and put it in a box. This wooden box had an ancient totem as a seal, which was impervious to water and fire, and only he could open it.

William asked someone to take the wooden box away from him, and he would not die as long as the missionaries did not pierce his heart.

He still remembers that stormy night more than a hundred years ago when a man in a black robe and holding a sword slowly approached him. The oppressive feeling brought by the figure of the black god of death became his lifelong nightmare.

The sword pierced William's body and he fell to the ground, smelling his own blood.

But it was useless, the mad dog couldn't find his own heart, he couldn't kill himself!

It was precisely because the other party did not expect that his heart had been hidden long ago that he was able to take the opportunity to release the poisonous gas in the room and stab the other party with a dagger in turn.

The missionary's blood splattered and merged with the blood from Mr. William's wound, making it impossible to tell whose it was. Before long, the man who claimed to be a divine representative was reduced to dry bones.

But the fear that the missionary brought to him did not disappear. William could always recall the sword that pierced his body. He was powerful and ruthless, like a machine performing a mission, and it seemed that the purpose of his existence in the world was to kill him.

Mr. William was of course afraid, so when the missionary turned into a wandering ghost, he did not dare to confront him head-on.

He thought his clever plan had saved his life, but things always go wrong.

More than a hundred years ago, society was in turmoil.

The servant who escaped with the box encountered robbers, and the exquisite box was naturally stolen. William was furious and could only keep spending money to have people help him find his lost things.

This wooden box is sealed, and he believes that nothing will happen to it. However, what is contained in it is related to his life after all, so he must find it.

Before, Mr. William had never made a mistake in cultivating "containers". Those children were mentally built into a perfect self by him, so he could take over the new body smoothly, but this time it was different.

Leo is an alien. He is not like him, but has his own personality. In other words, taking over Leo's body will not be as smooth as before, and unexpected situations may occur, so Mr. William must get the box back, which will help him stabilize his strength.

Finally, when his body was about to collapse, Xuanyuan Bei found the box for him in northern Myanmar. Those superficial mortals didn't know how important the things in the box were. They just thought it was a wooden box with some collection value. So the box was passed around and changed hands many times before it finally came into Xuanyuan Bei's hands.

The box was found, and Mr. William of course ran back quickly, but something unexpected happened on the way back, so he came back late and the box was stolen.

Mr. William was not worried that the undead would be able to open the box and pierce the contents, but the thing had to be returned to him, so he planned to make a "deal" with the undead.

"Leo, you look like me, that's great." Mr. William said with a smile: "That mad dog wanted to complete his mission even if he died. The last person he saw before he died had the same face as you."

But William is too old now. Even when he smiles, he looks very different from the vigorous and energetic him when he was young.

In other words, the undead who had long lost their rationality and were only there to fulfill their mission would mistake Leo for William and kill him.

As the one who offered the prey, William could get the "thank you gift".

Bai Yao woke up from her nap and did not see the figure lying next to her. She sat up from the bed and looked around. Leo was not there. She was a little confused.

Leo had never left her alone before, at least he would never leave without leaving any message.

Bai Yao pressed her groggy head, vaguely feeling that something was wrong. After dinner today, she felt particularly sleepy. She checked the time on her phone again. It was six o'clock in the evening and it was already dark outside. She actually slept for so long!

Even when I called Leo, no one answered.

There was a power outage in the castle last night, and the power hasn't come back on yet, so she picked up an oil lamp and walked out of the room to look for someone.

People have been in a state of panic recently. Unless necessary, the servants just hide in their rooms and dare not come out. Therefore, the castle is particularly quiet in the rainy night.

Bai Yao walked in the dark corridor, with only the lamp in her hand faintly emitting light. It was so quiet around her that she could hear her own footsteps and her own breathing. The tiny movements echoed in the air and were particularly harsh.
