Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Leo has been afraid of the dark since he was a child. Even though he said that he is no longer afraid of the dark now, Bai Yao is still worried. She wants to find him quickly and bring him back to his room safely.

Gradually, the sound of someone crying could be heard from the stairwell.

It was a man, who was hugging himself and squatting in the corner with his body curled up. There was a large area of ​​red and swollen skin on the back of his neck, and there were faint spider-web-like cracks, as if something would come out of it at any time.

There was no one else around Shi Huairen, but he seemed to have seen other figures. His body was shaking, trembling, and he choked with fear, "Don't follow me... Don't follow me..."

"I didn't mean to do that, I really didn't mean to do that!"

"You're just unlucky!"

"I thought about saving you, but I couldn't do it!"

He lowered his head, talking to himself here, as if he was trapped in a dream from which he couldn't wake up. All the fear in his heart ran out. With nowhere to escape, he could only hide himself in this small corner.

Bai Yao said: "Mr. Shi."

He was immersed in his own world and did not respond to any outside sounds.

Bai Yao said several times in a row: "Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi... Shi Huairen!"

Shi Huairen suddenly raised his head as if awakened, his empty eyes slowly regained focus, and he regained consciousness. He asked curiously: "Miss Bai?"

Looking around again, he stood up, looking even more puzzled, "Am I not lying in the medical room? Why are you here?"

He didn't remember why he appeared here, but the fear that haunted him in his dream was still there. His body was cold and he hugged himself tightly. He looked around panicked and vigilant, but unfortunately no other figures appeared in the darkness around him.

Bai Yao asked: "Are you married?"

Shi Huairen was stunned, "Why do you ask?"

Bai Yao glanced at his hand and said, "There is a mark on your right ring finger from wearing a ring for a long time."

There is a circle of skin on Shi Huairen's finger that is whiter than the ones next to it. If you are a little careful, you can notice it.

Shi Huairen quickly put his hands behind his back and said reluctantly: "Yes, I have been married."

Bai Yao asked: "The woman sitting next to you on the mountain road that day was your wife?"

Shi Huairen was stunned. "What did you say?"

"That night when your car and Leo's car almost collided, wasn't there a woman sitting on the passenger seat of your car?"

Shi Huairen broke out in cold sweat, his face was pale, and his fragile body looked like he could faint at any time.

Bai Yao saw that his expression was not right, and he had not worn a ring since he came to the castle. She guessed that there was a problem in their relationship, or they had already divorced. She did not pursue the issue, but asked: "Have you seen Leo?"

Shi Huairen felt the pain in the back of his neck again. He raised his hand to cover his neck and said with difficulty: "No."

Bai Yao was too lazy to pay attention to Shi Huairen and continued to look for someone.

She walked around the first floor to the third floor, and even went to the medical room, but didn't see Leo. The feeling that something was wrong in her heart became stronger and stronger.

Leo was both pretentious and stupid. Bai Yao was always afraid that one day he would be put in a sack and beaten on the street and would have no one to turn to for help. So when they were together, he would never leave her without saying a word.

This reminded her of when she was thirteen years old, the blond young master said in a duck voice during the voice change period: "Bai Yao, wait for me, I will bring you a beautiful gift!"

As a result, he never returned and it turned out that he was imprisoned in the west tower.

At that time, Bai Yao and Leo found Mr. William together and said that Leo was locked inside, but they did not find out who locked the door from the outside. They could only suspect that a servant was passing by and saw that the door of the west tower, which was usually empty, was not closed, so he closed it.

In the end, the matter came to nothing.

Bai Yao walked to the window and looked in the direction of the west tower, frowning slightly.

Outside the window, the noisy sounds of wind and rain showed no signs of stopping. Inside the window, a different kind of wind sounded low again.

The wide robe fluttered without wind, and the skull was looming in it. The metal cross emitted a cold and eerie light. The tip of the sword dragged on the ground, leaving a long mark. The cramped and oppressive feeling approached little by little. Even though the oil lamp on the table had a glass cover, it flickered and was in danger of going out at any time.

Every time the undead approached, it awakened William's fear of him.

He looked eagerly at the wooden box in the skeleton man's hand, but did not dare to get close to it. Every time it took a step forward, he would unconsciously take a step back, not daring to make any unnecessary movement.

William had been hunted by him for so many years and was on the verge of death several times. Even though he was dead and only the undead were wandering here, the remaining fear in his heart did not disappear.

Leo was tied to a chair, unable to move, and his mouth was blocked so he couldn't make any sound. He truly demonstrated what it meant to be a lamb to be slaughtered.

The skeleton stopped in front of Leo, as if he had reached his destination and found his target.

Its mission in life was to pierce the target's heart. After becoming a ghost, it was also driven by this mission. Leo looked exactly like William back then. William sent Leo out as a sacrifice. After the skeleton pierced Leo's heart, its obsession disappeared because its mission was completed, and it dissipated between heaven and earth.

By then, William will be able to take out his sealed heart and successfully replace this young body.

Seeing that the skeleton man didn't move for a long time, he wished he could pick up the sword and pierce Leo's heart on his behalf!

Finally, the skeleton moved.

The long sword was raised high and fell with the sound of wind. In the dim light, blood splattered.

Leo coughed muffledly, and the cloth covering his mouth was stained red with blood. The long sword pierced his heart exactly, but in a short time, his white shirt became a shocking bloody shirt.

Slowly, Leo's head drooped and there was no movement.

The undead who completed the mission was also freed. The sword and the figure disappeared like mist, and the wooden box fell to the ground. William rushed over, crouched down, and crawled on the ground like a dog to catch the box.

He couldn't help laughing, and the hearty sound echoed in the dim environment, crazy and morbid.

He played with everyone, even the undead were easily deceived by him. The existence that frightened him has disappeared from this world, and from now on, nothing can bind him!

He couldn't waste time while the "container" was still fresh.

William personally unsealed the wooden box. The totem on it looked like a blooming rose. After a slight "click", the wooden box opened, and a still beating black heart that had been sealed in dust for hundreds of years was exposed to the air.

William carefully took out the heart, and suddenly, a foot roughly kicked the box and the heart in his hand away. The two things fell heavily to the ground, stirring up dust.

William looked up suddenly.

The blond boy sat on a chair with his right leg resting on his left leg, his body slightly leaning forward, one hand supporting his chin. His fair face was stained with blood, which also dyed his originally blue eyes red. He was soaked in blood and looked down at the man squatting on the ground like a clown, grinning with a vicious and weird smile.

"Just because of you, you want to replace me and marry my fiancée?"

"Stupid pig."

"Climb for me."

William really crawled over, and he quickly tried to pick up the heart. A long sword fell to the ground and pierced through the wooden box that had become an ordinary object. The sword moved slightly, and if it was just a little bit more, it would have cut the heart.

William didn't dare to move.

He raised his head.

The figure in the black robe was tall and slender, with his bony hands holding the hilt of the sword, like an unshakable mountain.

William stiffened and looked at the person sitting on the chair.

The blond, red-eyed boy leaned lazily against the back of the chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if smiling, the blood color became the best embellishment, mysterious, dangerous, yet noble and elegant.

Just like a spectator from a high position, he found the best fun.

He looks like him, but not like him.

The fear in William's heart suddenly returned, and the memories of a hundred years ago gradually became clear.

The man who seemed like a mad dog once stared at him with such a pair of red eyes and pierced his body with the long sword in his hand.

William suddenly realized something.

There was a conspiracy that started a hundred years ago, waiting to skin him alive.
