Will hung up the phone, looked at the car glass and said, "The chocolate is about to be served."

If the murderer was really at the place where Lauren went as the clues obtained from Lauren's investigation and analysis, then he thought, it was Lauren who bit the hook.

"Is Clarice going too?" Hannibal asked.

"It seems so," Will said with the corners of his lips curled up, "someone is going to grab your meat."

It's rude, it's normal survival behavior among animals to grab food, but among humans, it's rude and disrespectful.

Hannibal and Will drove to the location of the dance hall Lauren had mentioned.

Quiet and exotic ballroom.

Hannibal and Will were seated in the hall, and Japanese Kabuki was being performed on the stage, with long tunes and mournful singing, and the audience in the hall watched the performance attentively and quietly.It is impossible to imagine what is going to happen behind the ballroom at all.

Will saw Lauren and Starling sitting in front of them on the left. They were also watching the performance, and they would not turn around to see them. The light under the stage was dim.

When the song was about to end, a gorgeously dressed person who couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman came to Hannibal and Will's table.

This must be Mama, Will figured.

"Hi, new face." The ballroom owner said with a choked voice, or maybe it was the same voice, and looked at Will.

The boss selects the guests who can enter the second venue, not just anyone can get the key card to enter the real active dance in this ballroom.

Will knew that his mother was suspecting that he was not suitable for this occasion, so he raised his vigilance.

"My friend told me that you have an amazing prom experience here, am I right?" Will looked at Hannibal with a smile, and said with a picky tone, "Daddy?"

Hannibal said cheerfully, "You've always had all sorts of fun to please me, my boy."

"Hmm," Mama Sang said playfully, no longer having doubts about Will's unsuitable temperament here, "Choose one you like."

The waiter beside him brought up a lacquer box, which contained all kinds of masks and masks, most of them were animals, there were also those of plants with special hobbies, and those of humans who were advanced animals.

Hannibal picked out a half mask for himself with black tears at the corners, and a... Bambi mask for Will.

"Bambi, are you serious?" Will asked, not even understanding how there was a cartoon mask in this box of realistic and exquisite masks.

There are so many unique flavors that you can't imagine.

"Have a good time," Mama-san said, and walked to the next table.

Hannibal and Will get their key cards.

When the performance on the stage is over, the curtain is drawn.

Will sees Lauren and Starling walking down the aisle in the other direction, and they also get the key card, the killer will hunt in this ballroom's real ball.

When I came to the second meeting place, I entered a dance venue with a vast area like a jungle.The projected Milky Way starry sky flickers from the ceiling overhead, making you feel like you are in the wild, in a real jungle.

The mist rises in the jungle landscaping, and the sound of nature in the jungle resounds faintly, obscuring the audio-visual experience of the guests.

The hunt begins between animals and animals, between humans and animals.

With the lingering music that has been varied, the starry sky streams, and the dance begins.

The partners hugged each other, swayed their bodies, and danced gracefully and contentedly.

Hannibal put his hand behind Will's back, guiding Will's dance steps. Obviously this is not something Will is good at and often does, but Will's ability to learn is very fast.

"You need special counseling, my boy." Hannibal said, shaking Will's hand. "I'm sure you'd make a good dance partner."

"With such a good teacher here, I think I will." Will agreed to Hannibal's wishes, and said with a smile, the toes of his shoes touched.

In such a bizarre scene, when the drumbeat of the music changed, the guests exchanged their dance partners, and there were even screams, and the hunt began.

Only by snatching can you get the prey you want, and there are ferocious birds or rare birds and animals waiting for you to pick them.The original face of the jungle reveals its true face under the cover of people.

Will felt his feet tripped, and looked in the direction of Lauren and Starling who had been watching just now, and found that Lauren had disappeared in the misty variation.

Someone came to pull Will's arm, and Will threw the mask to the opponent and walked in the direction of Starling.

"Are you coming too?" Starling asked in surprise.

"Can't rest assured," Hannibal said.

"Where's Lauren?" Will looked around, but there was no sign of Lauren.

"We have been paying attention to whoever took illegal actions at the ball just now, it must be the murderer, but just now when the music changed and the scene suddenly became chaotic, Lauren and I were dispersed." Starling said, "I have something wrong A premonition, did the murderer find us?"

Will closed his eyes and opened his eyes, looking at the many doors leading to the outside world in the corridors on the left and right, for the guests to bring their prey home at once, full of wildness and unknown adventures.Now, a real beast has actually brought his prey home.

"This way!" Will said, pointing to the third door on the left. Based on the layout of the ball and the situation at the scene, he could empathize with which door he would go through if he were the murderer.

There was no time for Starling to wonder if Will's guess was right, a second late could cost her friend another death from her.

Starling followed Will and Hannibal through the door and chased them out.

Different doors lead to different paths, where the path suddenly widened, and there was the sound of fighting.

Will saw a man in black wearing a mask wrestling with Lauren. From Lauren's unsteady body movements, it could be seen that the other party had adopted a method of captivating Lauren, but because the time was only for a moment, Lauren was not completely stunned, and woke up halfway and had a fight with the other party.

And from the murderer's high-spirited movements, it can be seen that he prefers this, more like a hunting ground that makes him jump for joy.

"Police!" Starling yelled, going forward to shoot Lauren.

But the murderer galloped over like a cheetah and kicked the gun out of Starling's hand, so fast that a man could fly, just as he was about to attack Will and Hannibal.

Lauren, who fell on the ground, saw Will's gaze, and his gaze met the murderer's.

The murderer suddenly changed his trajectory and fled swiftly.

Lauren fell to her knees on the ground, panting and shaking her head while touching her neck, trying to stand up to regain consciousness.

"Are you okay, Lauren." Starling went to help Lauren, "Have you seen his face clearly?"

Lauren shook his head, looking gloomy, slowly he looked at Will and said, "He knows you."

"Maybe." Will said.

It's not just as simple as knowing, when the murderer met Will's gaze, there was a strange look in the murderer's eyes, as if he just knew something that was enough to make him change his actions.

He gave up his prey.

But Lauren didn't say his own thoughts. As a police detective, he has his intuition, and knows what to keep intuition and keep it secret.

"Go back and have a good rest. It's too dangerous to do this without a backup police force." Hannibal advised Starling and Lauren, "You will catch the murderer, even if not now."

Lauren nodded, but the killer missed him still made him beat his chest.
