[Hannibal] Assimilation

Hannibal fell from the window on the second floor, and Patch's body hanging there saved his life. He held the man who had been disemboweled and killed by himself and looked up at Jack above.

Then he let go and jumped down, limping away, in the darkest hour before dawn.

Hannibal knew the terrain very well, and from the first day he got here, he was ready for everything, and Jack couldn't catch him.The trouble was that it was getting brighter and the sounds of people moving in the distance meant that he needed to spend more time avoiding the crowd.

When he stopped to rest at the corner, the morning sun shone on him, bringing warmth to his cold body.The wound was covered with blood scabs, and the bleeding was not much, Hannibal didn't have to worry about leaving marks on the road he walked on.

When he returned to the house near the Capone Pavilion, Bedelia was the only one who greeted him.

"Where's Gabriel?" Hannibal asked.

"He's gone, my God, you're hurt so badly! You need to be bandaged right away!" Bedelia supported the man's arm, and found that there were wounds all over his body, and there were almost no good parts.

Hannibal turned his head and gave her a surprised look, then waved Bedelia away and walked to Gabriel's room.

"You don't need to look for it!" Bedelia shouted behind him, "He said you know where he will go, it just depends on whether you dare to go!"

Hannibal stayed where he was, his blood-stained face turned to Bedelia's direction little by little, and he looked at her with illusory eyes.In the end he fell silent, his brown eyes lowered a little bit, hiding everything.

Hannibal lay in the bathtub, washing the blood off his body, and Bedelia sat beside him, stitching up the long, deep gash on his leg.

He suddenly remembered what Mrs. Zi had said to him when he was young.

"When your heart is full of killing, where can you put your love?"

"Hannibal," the man didn't close his eyes all the time, his eyes looked at a certain point without blinking, and Bedelia suddenly felt curious, so she opened her mouth and asked, "Do you love Gabriel?"

"Of course." Hannibal's movements and expressions didn't change in any way, like a carved wooden sculpture, if he didn't clearly see his lips opening and closing, Bedelia would have thought she was hallucinating.

"Why?" Bedelia asked.

Hannibal's eyes finally landed on her, but the indifference and coldness in those eyes made Bedelia tremble, and when she almost couldn't stand it, Hannibal thought for a while and said, "My first time He was five years old when I met him, it was a Christmas night, and he was there like that, like a Christmas gift from God to me."

"Later I took him home... I killed and dismembered the man and woman who pretended to be his parents in front of him," Hannibal got out of the bathtub to dry himself, put on a sweater, and walked to the balcony to look at the beautiful And Old Street, "You know why I think this kid is special?"

Bedelia shook her head. She followed Hannibal closely. As a psychiatrist, there are not many opportunities to analyze patients like Hannibal, which fascinates Bedelia.

"He just stood there watching, those eyes that seemed to be in the starry sky widened, neither crying nor fussing," Hannibal took a deep breath, picked up the sketchbook and pencil beside him, and started Describing what he saw, "Holding his cat in his arms, he stroked that beautiful white cat over and over again, full of love and reluctance."

"When we left, the cat died at some point." Hannibal looked up at Bedelia who was covering her mouth, he smiled and continued, "Gabriel has completely forgotten about it since then." He used to have a cat, even in his dreams, it never appeared."

"You mean..." Bedelia was surprised, it seemed that Hannibal once treated Gabriel as a patient, "He actually killed himself?"

"Gabriel never needs me to assimilate, he and I are the same kind of people."

Hannibal has a bruise at the corner of his mouth, which makes it difficult to smile, but he doesn't hold back.

He said to Bedelia with a smile, "People can't control who they fall in love with. This is the wonderful thing about love. I can't answer you why I fell in love with Gabriel. A proper start and then a long company, I woke up one morning and found that I was deeply in love with my adopted son."

"I used to mistakenly think that if he is special to me, then I should be special to him, but it is not true. Gabriel has no heart, and his heart has already been strangled by him when he was five years old. , his self-esteem is more important than me, but he can't leave me because he has nowhere to go. The sad thing is that even he doesn't know whether he loves me or not."

Hannibal lowered his eyes, the real tenderness in his eyes will only be reserved for Gabriel, he continued: "So he tried to confirm my feelings for him through constant testing, and then... I guess, he should want to Imitate it, because he needs stability—Gabriel has always been looking for stability, and he has many habits that cannot be changed, such as that denim satchel that was left in Baltimore, such as me..."

"Is this a new beginning?" Bedelia asked.

"This is a new beginning and my last chance."

Bedelia couldn't understand Hannibal, she looked like she was worried for Hannibal, she frowned and said: "Imitation can't become real, what if Gabriel never falls in love with you? What will you do then?" Do?"

"It's impossible to do nothing anyway." Hannibal shrugged and looked into Bedelia's eyes, which were blue eyes similar to his, "Maybe I will drag him to hell together, you know Never a nice guy."

Hannibal sighed, looking down at the streets he was writing, and said: "I want to draw these from memory, I want to paint the Palazzo Vecchio and the Duomo of Florence."

"You won't be able to come back for a long time, will you go to find Gabriel?" Bedelia pulled out the sketchbook and pen from Hannibal, "Where will he go?"

"Go where I can't go." Hannibal turned his head and looked outside. He didn't answer Bedelia's previous question. From his point of view, he didn't need to think about it. Of course he wanted to find Gabriel. How could he lose What about him?

"Family?"

"Yes, my home, where I grew up and fled desperately."

Bedelia put Hannibal's sketchbook into his backpack, turned her back to him and asked, "Hannibal, why are you afraid to go home?"

"Is it because of Misha?"

Bedelia didn't get a response, she turned her head and found Hannibal staring at her straightly, and then he said, "We are going to separate, although this is not the way I want to part."

Bedelia laughed, her smile was sweeter than most young girls, adding a bit of nobility and elegance that girls don't have, she said: "This is exactly what I want, in this respect , should I thank Gabriel?"

The woman approached Hannibal and looked up at him and said, "Gabriel said you were going to eat me, and you didn't plan to eat me in a hurry. According to your taste, I haven't marinated long enough."

"It's my pity that I can't taste your delicacy." Hannibal replied, he was also approaching Bedelia, their distance was getting closer and closer, when they were almost close together, Hannibal crossed Bedelia picked up the backpack on the table, "If they catch you, you can say that everything is coerced by me, and you are under control; Thanks in advance."

What kind of thank you gift? Bedelia knew very well that Hannibal did not give up the idea of ​​eating her. Maybe one day in the future he would find her again. Maybe he would invite her to taste her too.

Gabriel went to Lithuania, the place where Hannibal first started. Augestia was not big, so he easily found Lecter Manor.

The sight is a large piece of barren grassland, behind the woods in the distance, there is an old castle looming.

There was a rusty chain hanging on the iron door, but it didn't bother Gabriel. He unlocked it, pushed the door open and walked in. After thinking about it, he locked the door again.

He left a day earlier than Hannibal, and he'd had a detailed plan before that, so he'd been here four days when Hannibal found him.

Four days is enough time for him to do many things, including tricking Chiyo away.

To be honest, he was a little surprised when he saw Chiyo in Lecter's old house. He thought she had left long ago.

"You are trespassing illegally, sir." The thin woman has black hair, and her face is not as sharp as that of ordinary Europeans. She is holding a gun, and the long muzzle is pressed against Gabriel's back, " Raise your hands! Let me see them!"

Gabriel ignored Chiyo's threat. He smiled, turned his back to the woman and said, "I thought I had a natural inheritance right to this place, so you should be the one who invaded illegally, right?"

"..."

Gabriel felt the gun barrel tremble on his back, and then he was pulled by the arm and turned around. The tall Japanese woman stared straight at his face, as if trying to find any place that matched his memory, But she was doomed to be disappointed, Gabriel had never looked like Hannibal.

Before she could speak, Gabriel explained, "I'm Hannibal's adopted son, Gabriel Lecter, and he mentioned you to me, Chiyo."

"Where's Hannibal?" Chiyo put away the gun and took a deep look at Gabriel, as if completely convinced by his words.

"I don't know." Gabriel lied, and there was no difference between telling a lie and telling the truth, and even Hannibal couldn't tell the difference. It's healing, but it helps people know if they have a psychological problem."

"But this is Hannibal's home." Chiyo took Gabriel into the castle to deal with the wild birds she had just hunted, which was her dinner.

"Yes, I don't know where my home is. I am a person without a past, and I don't plan to look for it." Gabriel leaned on the pillar, looking at the poor bird that was about to be slaughtered, There seemed to be some melancholy in his eyes, "So I want to come here to see where Hannibal came from and why he exists, maybe I can build my own memory palace like Hannibal, in that case... I Will never be alone again."

Gabriel was wearing a long black trench coat with a tawny vest and a white shirt. The vest had golden tassels, as beautiful as his hair.His calves were wrapped in boots, and his legs were long and powerful. He was only a knight's sword and a horse away from a medieval prince.

When he said these words with a frown, people wished to kneel at his feet, sweep away all the unsatisfactory things for him, and let a bright smile appear on that angelic face again.

Chiyo didn't know what to say to him, she seemed a little silent after not socializing for many years, she just prepared dinner and cleaned up the dirty and messy table - she always felt that this young man should sit in a luxurious palace Here instead of this decaying castle.

They finished their dinner in peace, and when Chiyo took the little bit left over to the imprisoned man, Gabriel asked, "Why didn't you kill him? He killed Misha, don't you want to feel sorry for Han?" Nibal revenge?"

"Misha won't come back if you kill him, let alone... killing is a felony." Chiyo closed her eyes and pushed the plate in. The unkempt man saw the strange Gabriel and immediately rushed to the fence and said to him Some incomprehensible words, scared away by Chiyo's wooden stick on the back of his hand.

Gabriel didn't even look at him, he pointed out a cruel fact unceremoniously, "You stopped Hannibal from killing him back then, so Hannibal handed him over to you, and since then he has been I was wondering if you would kill him, but you imprisoned him until now."

"Hannibal once said that the most stable elements appear in the middle of the periodic table, roughly between iron and silver, and he thinks that's the most suitable place for you." Gabriel sighed, looking down at the crouching The previous generation on the ground, with golden bangs hanging down his eyelashes, "But I just think you are stubborn and hypocritical, you deprived him of everything, social, freedom and dignity, just because you didn't want to bear the crime of murder; you failed Hannibal's love, you are Madam Zi's maid, Hannibal is your master, but you can't share his worries, only for the so-called justice in your heart."

Gabriel let out a long breath, and he said as if he was talking to himself: "If I were Hannibal and Hannibal were you, he would never do this. This is his difference."

"... That's my choice." Chiyo stood up slowly, and left under Gabriel's burning eyes. Gabriel looked at her back and showed an interesting smile.

Then he turned around and looked at the imprisoned man, his hoarse voice was like the temptation of a devil.

"May I let you out?" His blue eyes were like holy angels, and the smile on his lips was like smearing honey. He tilted his head and said, "I'll give you a chance to leave forever Or kill her..."

Gabriel didn't say a word, 'or die by her hands. '

"I'm looking forward to that picture, it will definitely be beautiful."

Everything was going in the direction Gabriel hoped, and the imprisoned man remained in the cage, but the fence was not locked.When Chiyo came to deliver food again the next day, the skinny man attacked her, and Gabriel stood outside the window not far away, watching Chiyo have to commit murder under the threat of death .

When he heard Chiyo's apology before he made a move, anger suddenly surged in his heart. Whether it was Chiyo or Will, where did their guilt come from? They obviously killed the damned, so why should they feel guilty? !

Gabriel suddenly remembered what Will had said to him.

'Who gave you the right to take the life of another? '

"To kill is to kill, what reason and right do you need?" Gabriel walked into the room with a sneer, and watched Chiyo accuse him with hatred, "It's you! You let him out! You said Hanni Ba wondered if I'd kill him, and so did you?"

"No...you are not curious, but to create opportunities. What exactly do you want to do?"

"I want to prove that the justice in your heart is far less important than your own life. Since human nature is so selfish, why do you occupy the moral high ground? Self-saving or saving others, since it is important for human beings to kill their own kind to find a reason, then I'll help you find a reason, in this case, you will feel much better, right?"

Gabriel stretched out his hand, pulled the woman up on the ground, and gently patted the dust on her. In the softened eyes of the other party, he said, "Go find Hannibal and clear the obstacles for him. He needs you." .”

"What about you?" Chiyo didn't know that Gabriel just wanted to throw her out. Since seeing Chiyo here, Gabriel felt that she was not qualified to occupy Lecter's old house, whether it was him or Hannibal. There is no need for such a friend, it is enough for them to have each other.

"I'll stay here for a while, I don't have to come back, I won't stay for too long." Gabriel said, in fact, he was already thinking about cleaning up the dilapidated castle in this way.

After Chiyo left, Gabriel spent the whole day cleaning up the rubbish. Fortunately, this place is far away from human habitation, no matter what he does, no outsiders will notice him.

The next day, he rented a car and went to the city to buy a lot of things. The arrangement made by Hannibal could no longer be used. He simply taught Gabriel how to use the backup identity he had prepared.In fact, not only Hannibal, Gabriel also has his own channels to prepare these things, but he doesn't seem to avoid Hannibal, so he doesn't bother to use them.

Gabriel installed the windows, furnished the living room and the kitchen, and even bought a harpsichord for the study, but when he started preparing dinner for himself, Gabriel felt like a "little labor expert". The title is going away from me.

His knife skills are very good, and all the ingredients can be cut beautifully, but then he started to go blind, after all, he only helped Hannibal with the meal preparation, and he never actually cooked it himself once.

He was about to try frying fish, but nearly burned his new frying pan, and Gabriel dropped the spatula in a fit of rage.

So when there was a knock at the gate, Gabriel almost ran over, opened the gate, and saw the expected man appearing there, Gabriel rushed to hug Hannibal, and kissed Hannibal on his cut cheek. He kissed him violently.

"Hannibal, I have to say that it's a coincidence that you came here. In a few minutes, I don't guarantee that I will burn this place down."

"Oh?" Hannibal was confused by the young man's enthusiasm, he thought he would not find Gabriel so soon, he came here just to ask Chiyo if he had seen him.

Before Hannibal knocked on the door, he stared at the newly replaced door and thought for a long time. He thought it was requisitioned by the government. Unexpectedly, Gabriel opened the door and appeared in front of him in the next second. Frozen on his face, he sniffed and said with a very disgusted expression, "My dear Gabriel, did you catch a fish from a stinky ditch for dinner?"
