Yang Guang frantically called 11. Just now, he seemed to see a person hiding on a tree trunk in the distance, with half of his body and half of his face exposed, as if he was peeking, but because there were too many obstructions, he could not see clearly.

"To be precise, it's half a person."

11 replied. And he took a close-up shot of that half person and sent it to Yang Guang's mind.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The photo shows a person who was split vertically from the middle to the feet, with his eyes wide open, and only the left half of his body was left leaning against the tree trunk like mud. The other half leaning against the tree trunk was also cut flat. The remaining internal organs of the person's body fell to the ground in a mess. Some long, unknown internal organs were even hanging on the rough and raised bark...

Yang Guang was caught off guard by the close-up photo and was frightened half to death. He turned around and hid in the arms of the person behind him, covering his eyes with the cloak in his hand.

When Cyril saw Yang Guang's reaction, he immediately used his strength to hug Yang Guang into his arms, then put his hand on his neck, held the whole person in his arms, and then looked in the direction of the half person.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's common to see wild animals in the forest. This might be an explorer who got separated from the team."

Cyril lowered his head and kissed the top of Yang Guang's head, then manipulated Asai to walk on the other side, while walking, he gently touched the back of Yang Guang's neck with his thumb. At this time, Yang Guang also found it difficult to think about whether the beast could split a person in half evenly.

Yang Guang fell into Cyril's arms and angrily gave 11 a ban in his mind: "11, if you do this again, both of us will die. I will fight you to the death!"

11 knew that he was in the wrong, and said with a guilty conscience: "I'm sorry, host! I took the photo and sent it subconsciously, wuwuwu, I will never do it again!"

After hearing 11's apology, Yang Guang calmed down and realized that he had been resting his head in Cyril's arms.

Cyril seemed to realize something, and he lowered his head and coaxed: "Don't be afraid, we have left there, there is no such thing now."

Hearing this, Yang Guang slowly turned his head to look in front of him, then turned his head to look to the other side. After finding that it was really as Cyril said, there was no such scene, he slowly pulled his head out of Cyril's arms.

Cyril looked at Yang Guang's pale face and his trembling eyelids, and raised his hand to touch his face with heartache.

“The temperature is lower, and you’re going to be cold,” he said.

Then he pulled the cloak out of Yang Guang's arms, opened it, and wrapped it around his body.

Wrapped in the cloak and feeling the intense warmth, Yang Guang then realized how cold the air outside was.

So he quickly asked Cyril: "Sir, the temperature is really low, do you feel cold?"

As he said this, he wanted to take off his cloak and tie it around Cyril.

Seeing this, Cyril tightly held Yang Guang so that he couldn't lift his arms.

Cyril: "You sat in my arms with your cloak on, protecting me from the cold wind. I didn't feel the cold when I held you in my arms. You felt it, didn't you? My hands are very warm."

Hearing Cyril's firm words, Yang Guang's ears turned red and he turned his head to avoid Cyril's gentle eyes that seemed to drown him.

Just like that, on the road, Yang Guang saw several skeletons one after another. The better ones were just skeletons, while the worse ones still had maggots crawling on the skeletons. The scalp on the skulls had not fallen off completely, and was connected by several tangled hairs, mixed with an unknown liquid and stuck together, giving people a strong visual impact.

Now Yang Guang didn’t know whether he was going back to the castle or continuing to walk into the forest, but relying on the person behind him, he felt more at ease.

"Clap."

A quiet but clear sound reached everyone's ears. Cyril and Yang Guang quickly turned their heads to look at the location where the sound came from, but they only saw a figure running away quickly.

"That was a living person..."

Yang Guang, who had seen too many corpses today, murmured.

Cyril pulled up the hood of his cloak and covered his head, and said softly: "The light is too dim, and the roads in the forest are complicated. It is difficult for us to catch up with this person. Why don't we go home? Maybe fate will lead us to meet him."

Yang Guang: "I will follow your instructions."

Yang Guang didn't want to have anything to do with the person hiding in the forest, but he couldn't let Cyril take back his words. He could only reply to Cyril and then silently watch Cyril control Asai to take them back to the castle.

Just as they returned to the castle, the rain started again, hitting the eaves with a crackling sound, leaving only the sound of rain in their ears.

After dinner, Yang Guang cleaned himself up and walked towards Cyril's room, praying that he would not have a nightmare when he slept tonight.

"Knock down."

Yang Guang knocked on the door of the master bedroom, and after hearing Cyril's voice, he walked in with a pot of drink that the butler said would help him sleep.

Yang Guang: "Sir, you should rest."

Cyril slowly raised his head and put down the paper in his hand. After returning to the castle tonight, Cyril had been reading documents and letters after dinner. Before entering the house, Yang Guang checked his pocket watch and found that it was time to rest, so he came to persuade Cyril, who had become a workaholic, to go to bed quickly.

Cyril rubbed his temple with his hands and looked at Yang Guang with a pitiful look:

"Carol, today's walk was so scary. I will have nightmares after seeing those scenes. So my dear Carol, can you stay in my room tonight and sleep with me?"

Hearing this, Yang Guang was a little surprised. Cyril was so calm during the day, he didn't look like someone who would have a nightmare because of seeing a corpse. But he would definitely have a nightmare. Before coming here, Yang Guang suddenly felt the shortcomings of the human world. After what happened today, Yang Guang didn't dare to go back to the staff dormitory alone.

"Carol, my former personal servant will obey my decision when I need him."

Cyril's words finalized Yang Guang's accommodation for the night.

Yang Guang: "..."

Yang Guang "Sir, I will stay in your room with you until you sleep tonight."

Yang Guang, who was standing aside, bowed slightly to Cyril and said.

"That's great."

Cyril narrowed his eyes and smiled as he led Yang Guang to the right side of his bed. On the left was a balcony with two small sofas and a small round table for Cyril to eat and work in the room. On the right was a large sofa that could accommodate an adult. The floor was covered with a carpet with complex patterns, making the whole room luxurious and warm.

"You can sleep here tonight."

Cyril pointed at the big sofa. A soft quilt with a beige lace pattern was spread on the sofa, and a fluffy pillow of the same color was placed close to the head of the bed. The brown sofa was carefully decorated, as if it knew in advance that someone would come to sleep here tonight.
