[Hannibal] Assimilation

Abigail woke up.

"Jack called me," Hannibal said to Gabriel.

"He wants you to meet her?" Gabriel was helping Hannibal put the food on the plate. He and Hannibal didn't mention that incident that day. The next day they were still like a model family, just inviting When Jack came to the house as a guest, Gabriel wore a pullover hooded sweater with a tight collar, which surprised Jack very much.

The father and son wore suits and shirts all day long. Although Gabriel wanted to dress more casually, he wore a shirt and trousers. This was the first time I saw him wearing the style that boys of this age often wear.

"Alana means that neither Will nor I are suitable to appear in front of Abigail at this time, but Jack suspects that Abigail was involved in his father's hunting operation, and hopes that I will do a side job to Abigail." Write." Hannibal handed the cut fruit salad to Gabriel, and said when he turned around, "No stealing."

Gabriel shrugged and gave up the piece of avocado he was looking for. He said, "I guess Will won't refuse."

"Of course he won't, but Alana doesn't think so, although they all insist that Abigail is innocent, oh, what did they say?" Hannibal washed his hands, sat down at the table, picked up When holding the knife and fork, he thought for a while and said, "Abigail is a hurt little girl. Her mother was killed in front of her, and she was almost killed by her crazy father. She can't stand any more stimulation."

"And then?" Gabriel laughed. He knew better than anyone what kind of person Abigail was. He was a lost young fox. He was looking forward to how the fox who had lost his tiger would behave in front of the hounds.

"Alana suggested that she go to see her first. Alana is a doctor of psychology and a woman. She thinks that Abigail will not resist if she goes." Hannibal enjoyed his dinner gracefully. There was not much food left, so he looked up at the boy on his right, maybe Gabriel could hunt alone.

Gabriel had no way of knowing Hannibal's heart. He lowered his head and ate the steak on his plate while asking, "I don't think the ending is what Dr. Bloom imagined?"

"You're right." Hannibal ended their table conversation with an affirmative.

Facing the accusation from the victim's family, Alana returned without success. Jack once again proposed to let Will and Hannibal go to see Abigail. It's up to her to find out what remains of the victim's body. They haven't made any progress after the case has been over for so long. Now Abigail is the last hope.

In this case, Will and Hannibal couldn't refuse, and Hannibal took him at Gabriel's request.

They first went to the FBI Academy to pick up Will, and then went to the Haven Mental Sanatorium in Baltimore together.

Will was giving a lecture when they arrived, about Minnesota Shrikes and copycats.

"In addition to the seven missing girls and Ellis, who had liver cancer and escaped being mutilated for food, there was a ninth victim who also matched Abigail Hobbs' appearance but was not added. Lett Jacob Hobbs."

"This murderer wants us to find out that he is not the "Mingzhou Shrike." Gabriel walked into the classroom and heard Will's voice.

"He's better."

The image projected by the projector on the wall is the girl from Hibbing City, naked and sashimi nailed to the antlers. Gabriel still remembers the panic and fear in her eyes at that time.

She looked at him, begged him, hoped that he would save her, but Gabriel did nothing, he just stood there and watched his guardian cut open the girl's body slowly, finding her exactly lungs.

Hannibal used to be a surgeon. He seemed to be explaining a clinical operation to Gabriel. The girl's body was not restrained, but she couldn't move at all. All the strength in her body couldn't make her move a finger. She was even alive when she was disemboweled.

Until she was put on the antlers, the girl never closed her eyes, her dead eyes were fixed on Gabriel.

"He's a high IQ psychopath, a sadist, he won't kill in the same way again, he's treating this girl like a guinea pig for dissection experiments, and he's using her to teach, maybe the Shrike Bird, maybe the FBI, whoever it is."

"So, how do we catch him?" Will asked his students.

Gabriel glanced at Hannibal, and met Jack who happened to turn his gaze.

"Are you doing a report on the Hobbes imitator?" Hannibal suddenly said, Gabriel looked away, and looked down at his toes. He found that he didn't feel guilty when he looked at Jack. It's a step closer, which is gratifying.

"Well, we have to brainstorm on this case." Jack looked at Will, faintly feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't grasp it.

"The copycat is a regular reader of Fred Lords and CRE, and he knows enough about Garrett Jacob Hobbs' murders, motives, and patterns of behavior to allow him to recreate them. , you can even say," Will showed a very unhappy expression, but he went on to say, "Elevate them to art..."

Gabriel moved his feet to hide himself in the darkness, which allowed him to better observe Hannibal's expression. Will really lived up to his reputation. Jack once praised him for being a genius, and his imagination allowed him to get close to Hannibal. Those serial killers, understand them, even imagine themselves as them.

"Before Hobbs killed his wife and tried to hurt his daughter, he received an untraceable phone call. I think this unidentified caller is our copycat," Will said.

Exactly right, Gabriel applauded Will in his heart, he turned his head to look at Hannibal, he knew that Hannibal was very interested in Will like this, Gabriel didn't know if he would be moved, he hoped he would Yes, in this way, I will receive a lot less attention...

Under the dim light, Gabriel saw Hannibal raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then he turned his head to look for the boy hiding in the shadows, and stretched out his hand to him, Gabriel sighed disappointed in his heart, and put himself Putting his hand in Hannibal's, just like they did when they first met.

-- Haven Spiritual Sanitarium, Baltimore, Maryland --

"It's really remote here." Gabriel got out of the car, Will followed behind him, and Hannibal was driving today.

"It's very uncomfortable." Will looked at the dark sky, the light was too dark, and there seemed to be countless eyes looking at them behind the dark windows of the nursing home, "Can this kind of place really allow people to recuperate well? "

"It's just that the weather is not good today. It's very quiet here. When the sun is good, it will be beautiful and suitable for patients to live in." Hannibal walked to Gabriel's side, took Gabriel's hand and walked towards the small building, as if it seemed reasonable. It should be done.

Will stared at them blankly. He rarely communicated with his father. When he was young, his father would occasionally take him fishing on weekends, but he had never been so close to him. But, is this normal?Of course he wouldn't be surprised if Gabriel was in his early teens, Will thought, but Gabriel was a young man.

Will was most impatient around his father when he was his age, but Gabriel was often around Hannibal.Will has seen him several times in Hannibal's clinic, and he stayed on the second floor of the clinic to read those books. He never avoided even Hannibal's visits, but he would not let anyone other than Will People found him.

Will once asked him if he wanted to study psychology in college, but Gabriel didn't answer, and it seemed like he didn't think about it.

"Will?" Gabriel realized that the man behind had no intention of following up, so he turned his head and called him.

After the incident with Steinmetz, Will and Gabriel quickly became acquainted. They already called each other by their first names. Will found that Gabriel was mature and stable, and had unique insights into problems, and was good at dealing with those problems in life. Annoying things, like socializing.

This made Will seem to have found a life-saving straw. In this short period of time, before Will found out, he had gradually relied on Gabriel—faster than Hannibal, I have to say that Gabriel Lie's age and looks are more reassuring, especially in the presence of a protective man like Will.

"Come on." Will followed quickly, he didn't see Hannibal saying a word to Gabriel silently, he only saw Gabriel laughing, the smile seemed to brighten the gray sky A few points.

Hannibal made a joke to Gabriel: He's about as smitten with you as I am.

"So you're not a doctor, nurse or psychiatrist?"

"I'm a reporter, and I want to tell you the truth, the truth about you, sometimes it's inevitable to cheat, but please remember I'll never lie to you," said the red-haired woman softly, trying to look Believable, but clearly she failed.

"That's what liars love to say," said the girl on the bed with raised eyebrows. A large piece of gauze was attached to her neck, which occupied almost half of her slender neck. She was Abigail Hobb S.

"If you tell me what you know, I can help you fill in the gaps in your memory." The woman is well dressed, wearing a pair of leopard leather gloves of the same color as her skirt, with long red hair curled cutely, she is very confident , Although a little girl like Abigail is sharp, it is because she has just suffered a terrible disaster. As long as she shows more kindness to her, she should know how to choose.

"Why don't you tell me what you know first." The girl said in a very rude tone, the red-haired woman looked at her, and then said, "Your father is the 'Mingzhou Shrike', your mother is not you Father's first victim, he killed eight girls who all looked—"

"It's very similar to me." Abigail's voice sounded depressed at this time, her breathing became short of breath, and the woman gave her an affirmative answer.

Then it was much easier, Abigail shed her hard shell to reveal her vulnerable side, the woman walked up to her and sat down, "The rest of your life will depend on what you remember, what you tell others, and let I'm here to help you, Abigail."

Abigail looked at her, unable to say anything, she took a deep breath and changed the subject, "How did they catch him?"

"Because of a guy named Will Graham who works for the FBI but isn't an agent."

There was a "click", the sound of the doorknob being turned. In fact, Will, who was closest to the door, had already heard the voices inside.

"He can catch your father because he can think like them."

Gabriel heard it too, and he followed Will, the second to enter the ward, followed by Hannibal, the woman with red curly hair turned her head to look at them, and said, "Because he's just crazy. "

Abigail looked at the three uninvited guests who opened the door and walked in. Her gaze swept over Will, and when she caught Gabriel, her eyes widened in disbelief, "Gabriel?"

"It's me, Abigail, are you okay?" Gabriel ignored the red-haired woman's unceremonious stare at him, because he knew Will and Hannibal would take care of her , though it was his newest idol—Miss Fred Lords.

"I can't believe it, how did you come here? I mean...you know my father..."

"Yes, I know, Abigail, it's not your fault." Gabriel walked up to Abigail, raised his hand to stroke the top of her hair, and when he sat down beside her, Miss Lowes Already kicked out, he started introducing the two gentlemen behind him.

"Abigail, this is my father, Hannibal Lecter, he is a psychiatrist, this is Will Graham, FBI special investigator, they are all your guardians." Gabriel Like an older brother, he patted the back of Abigail's hand, pointed to himself and said, "So, now I'm your brother."

Abigail forced a smile, then looked at Will Graham.

"I remember you, you killed my father."

Will held his breath because of her words, he closed his eyes, and only when he opened them again did he hide his emotions. Gabriel noticed his expression, and he found it difficult for him to understand. Will would feel guilty for the daughter of the criminal he shot and killed. He obviously did the right thing, didn't he?

Will killed the prisoner and saved Abigail, why would he feel guilty?If Will and Hannibal hadn't arrived in time, would Abigail still be sitting here looking at Will with accusing eyes?

Hannibal said from the side, "You've been bedridden for three weeks, why don't we go for a walk?"

Abigail wanted to portray herself as a victim who was hurt and sharpened, and Gabriel didn't see anything wrong. People, especially kids like them who grew up around killers, have a tendency The instinct to avoid evil, in order to keep themselves alive, they can do anything.

But he couldn't understand Will's psychology. Gabriel never felt guilty for anything, even if he ate the food he knew what it was, he could even name the pieces of meat in their refrigerator. I have also seen many lives lost in Hannibal's hands, and then become the best ingredients at the banquet.

He doesn't like the feeling of killing people with his own hands, but he won't refuse them when they endanger him.

Everything Will does is to save people. Killing a murderer can save countless innocent people. Even in front of Abigail, he doesn't need to feel guilty. Is this the way normal people think?

The author has something to say:

small theater

Dr: Are you sure it was a joke?

Gabriel: [laughs without speaking]

Will: [in a daze] It's not a joke, what is it?But which sentence are you referring to?To whom?

Dr: Love words.

Gabriel: [laughs] Dad loves to joke.

Will: ...I suddenly feel a little bit better.

Thank you babies for throwing mines, okay (づ￣3￣)づ╭
