Chapter 797 He is easy to please (27)
In order to create a "younger self", Mr. William spent a lot of effort. When he realized that Lei Ou was destined to be out of his control, he decided that when the time came, he would take Lei Ou's life cleanly and neatly. Even if the effectiveness of such a "container" would be greatly reduced, he could still speed up the progress and cultivate the next "container".
If he really followed the life script he wrote, in his conception, Bai Yao should have "accidentally" died in the second year after marrying Bai Yao.
Lei Ou's reaction was a little strange, but as a person regarded as a monster by others, William was only shocked 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 the Lei Ou who walked out of the West Tower tonight was a different person, right?"
Lei Ou said nothing.
Mr. William smiled, "Then I can only tell you that what you think will not happen. Lei Ou, I know you, and it is not difficult to imitate your appearance. I have changed bodies one after another, and those fiancées have not noticed anything wrong."
Moreover, Bai Yao is the person he watched grow up, and he has some understanding of Bai Yao, so Mr. William is confident that he can perfectly pretend to be Lei Ou and replace his false life.
Leio asked calmly, "In that case, why don't you do it?" Of
course, Mr. William wanted to do it, but he still lacked one necessary thing.
It was a thing sealed in a box that had been separated from him for many years - "heart".
In the past, he was hunted by the people of the Holy See. Even if he hid in this castle, the other party was relentless. It was like a mad dog, as if it had a dog's nose, always able to track his smell and find his hiding place.
Mr. William was really pushed too hard. He knew that if he didn't want to do it, the missionary would definitely pierce his heart with a long sword, so that he would never be able to return to his youth with the help of the "container" body in the future. 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 people to take the wooden box away from him. As long as the missionary did not pierce his heart, he would not die.
He still remembers that on that thunderstorm night more than a hundred years ago, a man in a black robe holding a long sword slowly came. It was as if the oppression brought by the figure of the black god of death became his lifelong nightmare.
The long sword pierced William's body, he fell to the ground, and smelled his own blood.
But it was useless. The mad dog couldn't find his heart, and he couldn't kill himself!
It was precisely because the other party did not expect that his heart had been hidden for a long time that he took the opportunity to release the poison gas in the house and stabbed the other party with a dagger.
The blood of the missionary splashed and merged with the blood of Mr. William's wound. It was impossible to tell whose it was. Before long, the man who claimed to be a representative of the holy turned into dry bones.
But the fear brought by the missionary did not disappear. William could always recall the sword that pierced his body. He was strong and ruthless, like a machine performing a mission. 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 that his clever plan saved his life, but things always went 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 find the lost things for him.
This wooden box has a seal, and he believes that it will be fine, but what is contained in it is related to his life after all, and he must find it.
Before, Mr. William had never made a mistake in cultivating "containers", and those children were spiritually made into a perfect self by him, so he could take over the new body smoothly, but this time is different.
Leo is an alien, he is not like him, but has his own personality. In other words, it will not be as smooth as before to take over Leo's body, and there may be unexpected situations, so Mr. William must get the box back, which can help him stabilize his strength.
Finally, when his body was about to collapse, Xuan Yuanbei found the box for him in northern Myanmar. The shallow mortals didn't know how important the things in the box were. They just thought it was a wooden box with some collection value. It was passed around and changed hands all the way, and finally it came into Xuan Yuanbei's hands.
The box was found, and Mr. William of course ran back quickly, but something unexpected happened on the way back. He came back too late and the box was stolen.
Mr. William was not worried that the undead could open the box and pierce the things inside, but this thing must return to him, so he planned to make a "deal" with the undead.
"Leo, you look like me, that's great." Mr. William smiled and said, "That crazy dog had to complete the 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 if he laughs lightly, he looks very different from the high-spirited him when he was young.
In other words, the undead who had lost their reason long ago and only had a mission would kill Leio as William.
And William, who offered the prey, could get the "thank you gift".
Bai Yao woke up from her nap and didn't see the figure lying next to her. She sat up from the bed and looked around. There was no Leio. She was a little confused.
Leio never left her alone before, at least he would not leave without leaving any message.
Bai Yao pressed her groggy head and felt something was wrong. After dinner today, she felt particularly sleepy. She looked at the time on her phone again. It was six in the evening and it was already dark outside. She actually slept for so long!
Even when she called Leo, no one answered.
The power went out in the castle last night and there was no call. She picked up an oil lamp and walked out of the room to look for someone.
People have been in a panic recently. If there is no need, the servants just hide in the room and dare not come out. Therefore, the castle in the rainy night is particularly quiet.
