The silver light sprinkled on the sparkling sea, one after another, just like the legendary mermaid sitting on the reef covered with seaweed, the transparent fins soaked in the sea water, surging with the shallow waves.

"Is Miss Lycocia still alive?" Clutton asked suddenly, "This is like a dream."

Mu Ke didn't answer him, Clutton suddenly smiled and said to himself in relief: "Of course she is still there, only mortals have passed away."

At the end of the song, Clutton's nurse pushed his wheelchair and left.But Will stayed in the garden. He sat on a chair and looked up at Muke who was playing the violin.

"Do you still want to hear it?"

"Um..."

Mu Ke's bow continued to slide, but the sound of the piano became deep and expressive, as if a hazy veil had been lifted, but what was revealed was not the bright moon, its light was softer than moonlight.There is a dark blue night sky full of stars, they are shining, and the little bits of light come together to become long and warm, and a cricket flies across the night sky.

is a serenade*.

Will originally thought that he and Muke needed a conversation, but it seemed that there was no need for it. Language is always just a carrier, and human beings will never understand what the same kind is saying unless their spirits are connected to each other.It is like the light of stars blending on the way of tens of thousands of light years.

After the music ended, Will stood up and walked towards Mu Ke, holding Mu Ke's face with both hands, "CanI?"

Muke looked into those gray-green eyes, with a smile on the corner of his eyes, he took one of Will's hands and put his piano in Will's hand.Will was pushed back onto the chair by Mu Ke's shoulders, and Qin stayed on his lap.

Muke half-kneeled at Will's feet, which made Will look down at him.One hand grasped Will's palm, his thumb rubbing against Will's rough palm, and the other hand covered the nape of Will's neck, soft brown hair brushing the outside of his fingers.

Muke's palm was icy, and Will trembled at that moment, but this action did not add any embarrassment or embarrassment to himself, on the contrary, the cold temperature made him feel comfortable and looking forward to it.

There is still some urgency. Even though the interaction between the two of them has almost expressed their intentions, Will has a different state of mind when facing reality and hallucinations. He is eager to detect his hallucinations. **Does it correspond to reality.

He wanted a kiss like the one he had hallucinated, or even a better one.

Muke's smile had a certain reassuring effect on him, a smile so genuine that Will couldn't hold back his empathy or a deep sense of trust and joy in himself.

Mu Ke probed upwards and touched Will's kissable lips as he wished.Will bent forward to make the kiss less labored, as good as he'd imagined it to be, if not better.

This time, Will doesn't need to worry about the hidden shame, loss, worry and insecurity that the hallucination itself brings to him, even if he closes his eyes and his eyes are plunged into darkness, all of these are real and are happening. It happened, the sense of hearing became more acute and detailed, a bird perched on the osmanthus tree, it kept jumping with its two paws without singing, the winter wind blew up the frozen snow layer, Mu Ke's fingers scraped The pinnae of his ears, the saliva exchange is slow, gentle and deep.

Will hugged Muke, he heard Muke's breathing became heavier, but he still didn't want to end the kiss.

Mu Ke returned the "History of Animals" that Lekosia had borrowed from Hannibal. This was the first time he entered Hannibal Lecter's office, and he was surprised by the rich collection of books.

Hannibal's day's work was over, and when Muke was wandering between the bookshelves on the second floor of the office, Hannibal was sharpening his pencil with a scalpel.

"I didn't expect you to be Lycosia's friend."

"Is this strange?" Mu Ke took out an anniversary hardcover "Iliad" and flipped through a few pages.

"It's hard for people like us to find a friend who really understands each other."

Mu Ke didn't look at Hannibal, but he had a faint feeling that Hannibal was laughing when he said this.

"Yes, it is difficult." Mu Ke said.

"Then did you find out that she fell in love with you?"

"She doesn't love me." Mu Ke said without hesitation.

"The shepherd she loved is dead," Hannibal reminded. "She will turn a new leaf."

"Do you think she loves him, Dr. Lecter."

"We've known each other for so long, you can call me Hannibal."

"So you think she really loves him, Hannibal."

"I think it was her first lamb, which begged the butcher to kill itself and eat its flesh, but asked to be remembered in return. He was a special lamb to her."

Mu Ke pulled out the "Odyssey" on the right side of the "Iliad", and threw it directly to Hannibal from the second floor, "Lecosia flaunts her uniqueness, but she is no different from her sisters. There are differences It's their 'Odysseus'."

"So have you found your 'Odysseus'?" Seeing that Muke didn't answer, Hannibal continued, "You and Will are in a relationship, right?"

"Yes, but I don't think of him as my 'Odysseus,'" said Muke. "He is my Patroclus, my Alexander*"

"Did Aristotle help you?"

Muke was sure that Hannibal was laughing and saying this.

"No. Nietzsche gave me some interesting advice."

"Superhuman will? You don't use this for love."

"The rigid mechanical mode suppresses human personality, makes people lose the passion of free thought and the impulse to create culture, and modern culture appears so decadent. This is a disease of modern civilization, and its root is the atrophy of life instinct." Mu Ke read, "To cure modern diseases, one must restore human life instinct, give it a new soul, and make a new interpretation of the meaning of life."

Mu Ke closed the "Iliad" in his hand, put it back to its original place, and went down the stairs, "You can discuss music and art with Lekosia, but don't try to discuss thoughts and emotions with her, she Too unique for humans."

"So do we."

"But you're not her kind, Hannibal."

———————————————————————————————————

Mu Ke's work has to continue. He hasn't forgotten the mission Zhao Hanzang entrusted to him. He has almost caught the ghost who leaked his tracks on the east coast. Check the goods with the soul bell.

One of the ghosts seems to have a relationship with the local demons. Solving the demons caused Mu Ke a little trouble. The human being possessed by him was still alive after Mu Ke killed the demons, but without the protection of the demon power, the wounds on his body All manifested, and Mu-ko threw him to the hospital, his soul still intact but messed up by the demon.

And the sulfurous smell on the devil made Mu Ke couldn't help but perform the dedusting technique seven or eight times. He really hated the sulfur lake in hell.

This made Mu Ke arrive at Will's house later than planned.

Muke still maintains his nocturnal routine. He sometimes comes to Wolf Trap in the middle of the night, walks into Will's house, and sits by the window watching Will.

Will thought it was his own hallucination at first, but after Muke explained it clearly, even Will felt that waking up in the middle of the night and seeing a figure sitting by the window was a bit scary.

But Mu Ke has nothing to do, his invisibility is ineffective in Will's eyes.But gradually, Will got used to it, although he was a little disappointed that Mu Ke rejected his proposal to invite him to share a bed.

But Muke accepted Will's night fishing invitation.With the arrival of spring, the ice and snow covering the roads have long since melted away, and the river water has gradually thawed. Only occasionally, some ice crystals that have not yet transpired can be seen on the stones at the edge of the river.

Early spring is not a common season for night fishing. The night wind blows away a little heat accumulated during the day, and rain often falls.But not today, the sky was dark blue, without purple clouds floating low, a golden light flashed in Mu Ke's dark pupils, the light of the moon was hidden, but the stars began to shine brighter.

This made the night wind a little colder, and Will sat on the folding stool and cast the fishing line into the river, and the float stood up quietly in the water.Before the fish took the bait, Will watched Muke fiddling with a pile of firewood piled up in the film.

Winston wagged his tail and circled around Muke, and was slapped back by Muke when he sniffed the wood with his nose.

"Hehe." Will looked at a person and a dog and laughed all of a sudden, showing his white and neat teeth, and the laugh lines at the corners of his eyes only made him more charming.

Neither of them smoked, nor did they bring a lighter or matches with them. Muke wanted to cast a spell to light the fire, but Will kept staring at him. Now he could only try to use two pieces of metal to create sparks.

This is obviously not an easy job, otherwise Will would not have had the chance to see Muke give him a sad look for the first time.Will couldn't hold back his smile, and asked, "I never asked, how old are you?"

Mu Ke continued to scrape the two metal plates and thought for a while. He could not answer the 27 years old on the current ID card, nor could he answer the 45 years old on the previous ID card. "36 years old." He decided to take a middle number.

Huh——The flame ignited all of a sudden, the yellow light shone on Mu Ke's face, and the heat quickly spread along the air.

"You look like 26," Will said.

"I also looked like this when I was 26 years old." Mu Ke didn't lie.

Winston was startled by the rising flames, and the whole dog was hunched over Will.The fishing rod was knocked over by it and fell to the ground.

"Ok, ok, big guy." Will grabbed Winston's front paws and pulled him into his arms to hold him well, then re-supported the fishing rod, walked to Muke and sat down.

Winston put two paws on Will's right shoulder and looked up. Will stroked the hair on the back of Winston's neck. "Are you looking at the stars, Winston?"

"Does he like stars, or shiny things?" Muke took out a fluorescent stick from Will's toolbox and threw it not far away. The dark green light immediately attracted Winston's attention. It jumped out of Will's arms, and ran quickly to grab the glow stick.

"All dogs love something they can pick up," Will said.

Muke moved a little towards Will, and added a few more firewood to the fire to make the fire burn brighter.
