Chapter 796 He is easy to coax (26)
Lei Ou regained consciousness in a dim environment. He was very familiar with this environment. This was the place he once regarded as a nightmare - the West Tower.
He sat on a chair with his hands tied behind his back. The rope was tied very tightly, leaving no extra space for movement. The current situation was obviously not favorable for him, but he was worried about only one problem.
How long had he been unconscious?
Yaoyao woke up from her nap. What should I do if I can't find him?
"Young bodies are good. I thought you would wake up in a while, but you woke up so soon." Mr. William stood in front, even with a cane, he was trying to keep his back straight, as if he was still the strong young man he was, not an old and dying man.
Lei Ou'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 at this moment.
William said, "I'm waiting."
Leo asked, "What are you waiting for?"
"For the missionary to appear."
Leo said, "You said that the Skeleton Missionary is just a character in the legend, he doesn't exist."
Mr. William smiled, "No, of course he exists, just like there are immortals in this world... No, according to your understanding, maybe they should be called vampires."
People are afraid of immortals, so they call them vampires.
Of course, they are not as evil as the legends say, saying that they will turn into bats, saying that they will suck blood... But it's all nonsense. They just mastered a "technology" earlier than the public, and they called this "technology" "immortality".
Only a drop of blood, a small piece of skin, or even a strand of hair is needed. With careful cultivation, they can grow slowly from a cell to a living person.
The body will always age, and the soul will need a new body. The child cultivated for this purpose is their best "container".
Perhaps someone will soon think, isn't this 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 with the same experience and life as himself. Only in this way, when adapting to the body of the container, the rejection will be minimal. 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, he learned how to manage the family business, how to be the best heir, and how to be the most perfect person in the eyes of others.
When he was eighteen years old, he would get engaged to his fiancée.
Then, he would go out alone for a while and exercise his abilities in traveling.
Then, at the age of twenty-two, he would marry his fiancée in a foreign country.
Two years later, his wife would leave him because of his boredom, but because of an "accident", his wife would die in a car accident.
And he returned to his hometown with a child, feeling lost.
If someone came to persuade him that he should remarry while he was still young, he would say melancholy that he still couldn't forget his wife who left, so everyone would say that he was really affectionate.
Then, he would work alone and take care of the children. Although his life was dull, it was a complete one.
This was the "life" that William needed.
He needed a "container" that was highly compatible with him. He needed the "container" to replicate the path he had taken, experience everything he had experienced, and then build his thoughts, spirit, and body into his younger self.
Only in this way could he be more compatible with the container. Even if he replaced another person, because the "father and son" had similar looks and personalities, no one would notice anything unusual, and naturally it would not attract the attention of the damned people in the Holy See who claimed to be righteous men.
Relying on this method, he lived for a hundred years, and as for those "containers", who would care about them?
But Leo destroyed all of this!
He is rebellious, arrogant, and conceited. Apart from his appearance, he is not similar to William in any way. William certainly tried to change his temper, but no matter how gentle or tough he tried, it was 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 given birth to his own flesh and blood and soul. In other words, he has a "self".
Since his body has a soul, it must be impossible for another soul to seize his body.
Therefore, in the past ten years, the only thing 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 compatibility was not high, he could only choose to do it himself, strip off his soul and snatch this young body.
"Leo." Mr. William pinched the boy's face angrily. The more the boy looked like himself, the angrier he became. "You destroyed everything. You should have died in ignorance. It is your disobedience that makes you have to endure the pain of death now. You are my best container. When you disappear, I will replace you and become Leo."
This is why Mr. William asked Leo to sign the document. All William's property was transferred to his son, but no one knew that William would become his son, so the huge wealth was still in his hands.
Lei Ou asked: "After replacing me, what are you going to do with Yaoyao?"
Mr. William snorted coldly, "According to your engagement, of course I can only marry her."
Bai Yao was the fiancée that Mr. William had chosen for the "container". It was naturally the script of his wife who died 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 Lei Ou not follow the script he had written, but Bai Yao was obviously not a person who followed the rules. They should not have started their love affair so early, and they certainly should not have slept together so early.
In Mr. William's plan, he should have completely replaced the "container" on the wedding day and obtained Lei Ou's identity, and Bai Yao would of course be his bride.
But Bai Yao had already slept with Lei Ou, which made William very angry.
"You said, you want to marry my future wife?"
The boy's voice echoed in the dim room. The only light on was a lamp that moved automatically without wind, and the light flickered.
