When driving through a residential area, Mu Ke felt a little weird and slowed down.

Everything on the street is as usual, the lights are bright, stable and not flickering, and the houses on both sides of the road are quiet, but there are occasional snoring sounds full of life.No one passed by in the street, but that's not a strange phenomenon at three o'clock in the morning.

But the strange thing is that in Mu Ke's eyes, there is no soul here, and there is no death.It's too empty.

"Xuannu, Xuannu...slow down, I can't catch up with you." A sound from the wind crashed into Mu Ke's head, causing him to press the brake suddenly, and the brake pads retracted. A tight voice cut through the cold shouts.

"Come out." Mu Ke said coldly.

A gust of wind went against the original wind direction of the street, and rolled a few fallen leaves under Mu Ke's wheel, and a floating spirit body also appeared in the air.

"Xuannu..." A man in an ancient robe called with a smile, "Long time no see. I almost didn't recognize your human form, but fortunately your pure black soul is still very easy to recognize."

"You should be on the No.18 floor of hell." Mu Ke quickly made a judgment, and at the same time corrected a mistake in the words of this "old friend from hell", "I don't have a soul, I just have a sense of spirit."

"Haven't you forgotten the gap between the eighteenth hell and the devil's abyss," the spirit body replied, "You still remember me, and it's not in vain that I devoured the souls of a few barbarians and the power of their ghosts. Something new."

Mu Ke didn't care about the second half of the sentence, instead he thought for a while and said, "You never told me your name."

"When have you ever cared about your name?" said the spirit body, "Li, my name is Li. I thought we evil spirits from the [-]th floor of hell could still be considered famous in the underworld."

Li smiled, revealing his greedy and saw-toothed fangs that were different from ordinary people, black air mixed with blood-red aura lingered on the tip of the teeth.

"You remember where you came from, then it's time to go back now." Mu Ke said.

"What are you doing when you go back? Are you watching your golden sword? It's not as good as you, a poor little kid who can understand human language." Li said, the spirit body became a little more solid. You can see him as far as the naked eye.

The evil spirits on the 18th floor of Hell are all the most heinous people in the millennium, but similarly, after the death of the most heinous people, the power of the soul will be multiplied by the evil energy. Curious why he devours the soul.

A burst of strong light hit Li's body, but did not penetrate it.Li smiled at Mu Ke again, there was something weird about the uneven face that was burned by the oil pan in the underworld.

Mu Ke turned his eyes and saw that this strong light came from a human car. The owner of the car driving at high speed saw that the two people in the middle of the road showed no signs of avoiding, and he stepped on the brakes frantically, but at such a high speed It is absolutely impossible to avoid hurting the two people, so I can only press the horn hysterically, hoping that the two people in the middle of the road can escape.

The smile on Li's face never faded, he stared straight at Mu Ke, Mu Ke wanted to move, but found himself accidentally trapped in Li Jianzhu's formation.

The magic circle under his feet was no longer hidden, but bursts of black smoke rose up, blatantly proclaiming his existence.

The harsh horn of the car dashed by.

But the speeding car did not hit the two people, but went straight through the two people's bodies, and finally stopped after sliding another [-] inches. The driver fell on the back of the seat and panted frantically. It took more than ten seconds to calm himself down. Finally, he leaned out of the car window and turned his head to observe the thrilling scene he had just seen.

But when he looked into the distance again, there was nothing there, just like the road he came from and the road he was going to continue on, it was empty, and the wind rolled a few fallen leaves to the middle of the road.

For a moment, he thought he was driving in hell, until the curses mixed with all kinds of vulgar words came from the residential building, relentlessly cursing the driver who was honking his horn on the road in the middle of the night, and he was pulled back Reality.

At the moment when the car passed through the formation, Mu Ke raised a barrier to hide himself and Li.

The formation under the feet was still covered with black smoke, but within the black smoke, streaks of golden light and more intense black began to emerge, depicting cracks on the formation.

Mu Ke looked at Li, "If you don't want to go back, I will send you to your final destination."

What is the final destination of the evil spirits suffering in the No.18 hell?That is not reincarnation, but nothingness and destruction.

This was Mu Keshang's job when he was in the underworld—the executioner of the No. 18 hell, dedicated to killing these souls.

"You didn't bring your golden sword." Li reminded him without worry.

"I don't need it." Mu Ke said, the golden light and black aura had completely broken through the formation that Li had drawn before, as if the sun had broken through the black clouds pressing down on the city, and the soul he used to engrave the formation was struggling to get out of the formation. escape through the gap.For a while, the blue-white light from the soul flourished, but he couldn't suppress the dazzling golden lights piercing towards Li, and the black spiritual power followed closely behind, wrapping around Li's neck and limbs like a snake, making him unable to move. escape.

After the golden light penetrated Li's body like a sharp sword of final judgment, it condensed in his body and exploded. Li's screams started and ended with the explosion.

The soul bound by Li escaped from the formation, and Mu Ke's black spiritual power turned into a bright red flame, burning up the remaining black mist, emitting crackling noises and a foul-smelling burnt paste.

But this was only carried out in the space isolated by Mu Ke. When the flames were extinguished after the fuel was exhausted, Mu Ke withdrew the barrier, and the smooth mirror-like road seemed to have never withstood the ferocious formation of a ghost, and The burns of the hell karmic fire ignited by Mu Ke.

Just like the way we came and the way we are going, it is empty, there is no one, no soul, and the fallen leaves are still lying on the ground, like a new piece of land, waiting to be cultivated again.

The only remaining problem is that Li shouldn't be here, and his explanation is hard to convince Mu Ke.

It was four o'clock in the morning when Mu Ke returned home.He took a shower to dispel the chill and stuffed himself under the quilt. If he didn't have too many emotions about the taste of food, then he still liked the activity of sleeping.

"Bruno, maybe you need a cup of tea or coffee."

Bruno's trembling eased slightly when he heard the concerned but calm and soothing voice of his psychiatrist Hannibal.He pinched his sweaty palm, "Coffee, coffee...Thank you, doctor."

"You are my patient, and this is my duty." Seeing that Hannibal was not alienated, but not close enough to invade his private area, he stood up, buttoned up the three-piece suit, and went to give Bruno poured a cup of coffee, and brought milk and sugar cubes to Bruno thoughtfully.

Bruno poured all the sugar into the glass and took a sip carefully.

“Sugar is not biochemically soothing,” Hannibal said. “Would you like to go on about the hallucination you had that night?”

Bruno put down his coffee, and his whole face instantly wrinkled because of these words, "Doctor Lecter, I think, I think it's not an illusion, it's very real, but it's..." Bruno sighed, " It shouldn't be real. I saw two people I ran into disappear with my own eyes."

Hannibal kept a professional but conciliating smile all the time, listening to Bruno finish his long series of stories full of exaggeration and imagination.

Although many patients in Hannibal's hands have gone to a more extreme direction than mental illness after Hannibal's treatment, this does not mean that Hannibal has no professionalism. On the contrary, facing Bruno's bland Unsurprisingly, patients who he neither found vulgar nor felt any interest in, Hannibal didn't mind being a good, empathetic psychiatrist at a time like this, calming down the patient's emotions, prescribing some Drugs that are normal and reasonably free of side effects to relieve Bruno's nervousness.

And Bruno also temporarily accepted the explanation that he saw hallucinations yesterday because of excessive tension and fatigue.

Coupled with several highly professional and high-level papers, Hannibal can become a psychologist with a high reputation in the industry.

Of course, Hannibal was willing to accept certain aggressive patients that other doctors would not accept.This is one of the reasons why the FBI will come to him to cooperate.Such as educational psychologists and marriage counselors, these people will not be considered by the FBI as candidates for special counsel at all.

After Bruno's spotlight time ended, there was no next patient in Hannibal's waiting room, and he had some time to spare.

So Hannibal didn't mind sending Bruno, who was still in a sensitive period, to the door. Bruno's wife was waiting for him in the car. After the events of the previous few nights, he was no longer willing to touch the steering wheel.

Bruno was very grateful for this, and returned to his normal look, but when he saw Mu Ke across the street from a distance, everything fell short.

Bruno's hand suddenly grabbed Hannibal's left cuff, and the hunter's instinct made Hannibal instantly alert.But he quickly controlled himself, with tense muscles, he didn't attack Bruno, but just looked in the direction of Bruno's trembling other finger, and his frown was instantly smoothed away.

"It was him. I remember that face, and that car. It was him that I ran into that night, and there was another person!"

Hannibal wasn't surprised.

The author has something to say: Xuan Nu means Xiao Hei.

In the original sentence, there should be some distance between Hannibal's clinic and his home, but for many plots, I treat it as very close.
