Chapter 798 He is easy to coax (28)
Lei Ou has been afraid of the dark since he was a child. Even though he said that he is no longer afraid of the dark, Bai Yao is still worried. She wants to find him quickly and bring him back to the room safely.
Gradually, the sound of someone crying came from the stairwell.
It was a man, who was hugging himself and curled up in the corner. 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 drill out from inside at any time.
There was no one else around Shi Huairen, but he seemed to have seen other figures. He was shaking, trembling, and choking with fear. "Don't follow me... Don't follow me..."
"I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to!"
"You are just unlucky!"
"I thought about saving you, but I can't do it!"
He lowered his head and talked to himself here alone, as if he was trapped in a dream that he couldn't wake up from. All the fear in his heart ran out. He had nowhere to escape, so he could only hide in this small corner.
Bai Yao said: "Mr. Shi."
He was immersed in his own world and didn't respond to the sounds from the outside world.
Bai Yao said several times in a row: "Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi... Shi Huairen!"
Shi Huairen raised his head as if awakened suddenly. His empty eyes slowly came into focus and he regained consciousness. He said curiously: "Miss Bai?"
Looking around again, he stood up, feeling even more puzzled. "Wasn't I lying in the infirmary? Why did I come here?"
He didn't remember why he was here, but the fear that had been haunting him in his dream was still there. He felt cold all over and hugged himself tightly. He looked panicked and vigilant as he kept glancing around. 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 looked at his hand, "There are traces of long-term wearing of rings on your right ring finger."
There is a circle of skin color on Shi Huairen's finger that is whiter than the surroundings. As long as you are a little careful, you can observe it.
Shi Huairen quickly put his hands behind his back and said reluctantly: "Yes, I am 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?"
"On the night when your car and Leo's car almost collided, wasn't there a woman sitting in the passenger seat of your car?"
Shi Huairen broke out in a cold sweat, his face was pale, and his fragile body 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 this issue, but asked: "Have you seen Lei Ou?"
Shi Huairen felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck again, raised his hand to cover his neck, and he 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 infirmary, but did not see Lei Ou. The feeling of something wrong in her heart became stronger and stronger.
Lei Ou was both pretentious and stupid. Bai Yao was always afraid that he would be beaten up in a sack on the road one day and could not find anyone to help him. So when they were together, he would never leave her without saying a word.
This reminded her of the time when she was thirteen years old, when the blond young master said in a duck voice during the puberty period: "Bai Yao, wait for me, I will bring you a beautiful gift!"
As a result, he never came back. It turned out that he was locked in the West Tower.
At that time, Bai Yao and Lei Ou found Mr. William together and said that Lei Ou was locked in, but they did not find out who locked the door from the outside. They could only suspect that a servant passed by and saw that the door of the West Tower, which was always empty, was not closed, so he closed it.
In the end, the matter was left unresolved.
Bai Yao walked to the window, looked in the direction of the west tower, and frowned slightly.
Outside the window, the noisy sound of wind and rain showed no sign of stopping. Inside the window, a different sound of wind sounded again.
The wide robe moved 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 being extinguished 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's hand, but he didn't dare to get close. Every time it took a step forward, he would unconsciously take a step back, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
William had been hunted by him for so many years, and he was on the verge of death several times. Even though he was dead, only the dead were wandering here, and the remaining fear in his heart did not disappear.
Leo was tied to a chair and could not move. His mouth was blocked and he could not make any sound. He truly interpreted 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, the mission would be completed, and the obsession would disappear and dissipate between heaven and earth. At that time, William would be able to take out his sealed heart and successfully replace this young body.
Seeing that the skeleton didn't move for a long time, he wanted to pick up the long 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 the wind. In the dim light, blood splashed.
Lei Ou coughed, and the cloth blocking his mouth was stained red by blood. The long sword pierced his heart squarely, but in a short time, his white shirt became a shocking bloody shirt.
Slowly, Lei Ou's head drooped, and there was no movement.
The undead who completed the task were also freed. The long sword and the figure dissipated 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 cheerful sound echoed in the dim environment, crazy and morbid.
He played with everyone, even the undead, who were easily fooled by him. The existence that frightened him has disappeared from this world, and there will be nothing that can restrain him in the future!
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 black heart that had been sealed for hundreds of years and was still beating was exposed to the air.
William carefully held out the heart. Suddenly, a foot roughly kicked the box and the heart in his hand away. The two things fell heavily to the ground, stirring up the dust on the ground. William
looked up suddenly.
The blond boy sat on a chair, his right leg resting on his left leg, his body leaning forward slightly, one hand supporting his chin, his white face stained with blood, and his originally blue eyes were also dyed red. He was stained with blood, looking down at the ugly man squatting on the ground, grinning, with a wicked and cunning smile.
"Just because of you, you want to replace me and marry my fiancée?"
"Stupid pig."
"Climb for me."
William really crawled over. He quickly tried to pick up his 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 it was just a little bit away from cutting the heart.
William didn't dare to move.
He raised his head.
The figure in the black robe was tall and slender, and his bony hands held the hilt of the sword, like an unshakable mountain.
William stiffened his body and looked at the person sitting on the chair.
The young man with blond hair and red eyes leaned lazily against the back of the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if smiling, and the blood color became the best embellishment, mysterious, dangerous, yet noble and elegant.
It was like a high-ranking spectator who found the best fun.
He looks like him, but not like him.
William's fear suddenly returned, and the memory 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 the long sword in his hand pierced his body.
William suddenly realized something.
