[Hannibal] Assimilation

Gabriel turned over, his curled up body unfolded, and the comfortable feeling was transmitted from his limbs to his chaotic brain. It took him a few seconds to realize that the man who was squeezing him to sleep beside him was no longer where he was originally lying. .He touched the other half of the bed, the heat had dissipated, he opened his eyes, and began to look for Hannibal's figure.

The room was very quiet, the door was ajar, presumably Hannibal was afraid of the sound of the door closing waking him up.

Gabriel lifted the quilt and rolled over from the left side to the right side of the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and scratched his messy hair. His bare upper body was exposed to the cool morning air. He exhaled In one breath, he stepped on the floor with bare feet and walked to the window, looking purposefully at the cemetery not far away.

With his back to him, Hannibal was standing five or sixty meters away from the family cemetery. He was wearing a nightgown and stepped on cotton mops, as if he had suddenly jumped out of bed.

Chiyo often cleaned the cemetery and wiped the tombstones. Although the arrival of autumn made the cemetery look depressed, there was not a single leaf on those tombstones.Gabriel knew that from Hannibal's angle, he could clearly see the names engraved on those tombstones. He couldn't see Hannibal's face, but he could feel the ecstasy emanating from him just by looking at the back. Deep loneliness.

Hannibal wanders in this world, he treats everything as a game, and the world is no more noble than livestock in his eyes, so he will miss his family when the night is quiet, and he will also miss those past years, so Could Hannibal be so obsessed with his own kind?Gabriel lowered his eyes to think, and when he looked up again, Hannibal happened to turn around, and their eyes met through the mist.

Then Gabriel saw Hannibal smile, which was different from that elegant and gentle smile without warmth, and also different from the slightly excited mocking when he killed someone. It's not big, but it makes people feel very warm in the heart.

When Gabriel was getting dressed and was putting socks on his feet, Hannibal walked in, the mist wet the ends of his hair, Gabriel threw the towel over and said to him, "Wipe, today I will go to the city to buy and write things again, you'd better write me a note, or I will easily forget."

"No need," Hannibal dried his hair, took off his nightgown, and changed into out clothes, "I'll go with you."

"..." Gabriel stopped tying his shoelaces, and he looked up at Hannibal, "Hannibal, when you disemboweled a police inspector and hung him in the Capone Pavilion When you open the door of the library, you should think that you have been on the wanted list of the Italian police, not to mention Dr. Fell and his wife, that cunning Anthony, Professor Soturia... Mason spent 300 million US dollars on a reward Do you remember? I'm sure a lot of people would love to help him catch you, whether it's the average 'good' citizen or the mercenary guys in the police force."

"I know," Hannibal buttoned the last button, took out a hat from the luggage bag and put it on his head. Wanted, they are afraid that extremely dangerous criminals will be cornered and launched an indiscriminate attack. They are not Jack and Will, they think I kidnapped you. At most, they are wanted by the police, and - this kind of guy should be hiding How could they appear on the street openly, with a calm and elegant demeanor, so they just look a little alike. It is almost impossible to question a gentleman of status in this ancient country, as long as we are careful... "

"Hannibal..." Even Gabriel was shocked by Hannibal's boldness, but he knew that Hannibal's decision would not be easy to change, and his analysis was also very reasonable, so he just Sighing, he reminded, "If anything goes wrong, we'll be right back."

"Yes, Myangel."

Hannibal's self-confidence is not unreasonable. When he was walking on the road, no one jumped out and shouted "catch the ogre". He didn't like ordinary things, except for the necessities, he didn't buy many things in the end.

The bed issue was still unresolved in the end, after all it would be strange for such a large item to be refused delivery and the last thing they can do right now is draw attention to it.

When it came to tableware, Hannibal was even more picky. They went to several old-fashioned shops, and it was not until the afternoon that they settled on a set of Danish-style silverware from the [-]th century and French Gion ceramic dinner plates, because they needed to buy from France. It was shipped, and they agreed to pick it up in three days.

Next, they went to a grocery store that existed in the last century to buy Bad Montrachet wine and white truffles. Hannibal's taste can only accept the top-level food, and Gabriel is happy to fulfill this, after all, the beneficiary He will never be missing.

It was almost evening when they finally bought everything, and when Gabriel put the sundries in the car and was about to get into the cab, Hannibal stopped him.

Hannibal was standing in front of a jewelry store, looking up at the store's signboard, turned to Gabriel and said, "I like the design of this billboard, what do you think?"

It was a French brand. Gabriel usually didn't pay much attention to it. In his life circle, he only saw it on his senior sister, Meredith Cavel.Although Hannibal paid great attention to the taste of life, he didn't like to wear jewelry. Gabriel was puzzled by his behavior, but it was not too late now, so it didn't matter to go in and have a look.

Hannibal got Gabriel's approval, showed a slightly mysterious smile, held Gabriel's hand and led him into the jewelry store.

In this kind of place with surveillance, Gabriel was very careful not to let the surveillance camera capture his face, and blocked Hannibal intentionally or unintentionally to prevent him from being exposed to the surveillance cameras, so he didn't pay attention to Hannibal. He said something to the waiter as soon as he entered the door, and Gabriel felt a little strange when they were led to sit down in the customer rest area. He asked Hannibal, "Didn't you come in to see those jewels?"

"Actually, I've already seen it," Hannibal replied, nodding his head to thank the waiter who was pouring the tea, he took a sip of the tea from the teacup, and said with a smile in his voice, "Just yesterday, I paid A little money allowed them to speed up the construction period. Fortunately, I have already designed the drawings, otherwise it would take a long time for the designer to design another design, but I don’t know if you like Gabriel or not.”

In the end, even Hannibal's voice was a little uncertain. He was always confident, but the confidence he showed today was a bit like a deliberate disguise. Gabriel was stunned, as if he had guessed something. He suddenly Lowering his eyes, he tapped his fingers lightly on the glass coffee table.

Hannibal didn't speak any more, they just sat quietly like this, the waiter behind them who had heard their conversation with a clear smile was a little uncertain, he looked at the young man, and with The middle-aged man whose expression could not be seen clearly by the hat was full of doubts.

When Hannibal got the velvet box, Gabriel looked up at him, Hannibal's brown eyes were full of anticipation, and he just looked at Gabriel like that, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Open it and have a look, I'm looking forward to your design." Gabriel didn't call out Hannibal's name because there were people around him, he smiled with a relaxed expression, Hannibal wasn't sure what he was thinking Yes, the mood was a little impetuous, he thought for a while and said, "Let's go back and see."

After saying that, he got up to leave, but Gabriel suddenly stretched out his hand to grab him, and took the small box from him. Without any hesitation, he opened the box with his slender fingers.

A pair of silver diamond-encrusted rings lay quietly in the box. The ring surface was slightly wider, and the texture was like two abstract snakes entangled in the shape of a heart. They were both the size of male finger bones, and Gabriel could bet on them One must be his own number, and the other must be Hannibal's, so there is no need to guess.

"Does this imply the love of poisonous snakes?" Gabriel picked up one and observed it carefully, and casually made a small joke.

"No! The gentleman explained to us yesterday that some cultures believe that snakes can bring good luck to people. They represent good blessings. The snake's walk is noble and elegant. You can see how beautiful the lines are. The tail gradually hides, which means the love hidden in the bottom of my heart. Diamonds represent steadfastness and eternity, and also represent holiness. My lover is a holy and elegant angel—this is what this gentleman said." The duty manager holding the ring was an unmarried lady in her early thirties. She probably thought there was some conflict or misunderstanding between them, but found that Gabriel was not very excited when he saw the ring, and planned to help the man who touched her yesterday.

"Oh, so that's the case." Gabriel looked at Hannibal, and saw his nervousness on his expressionless face. He smiled and put the ring with the word HL engraved on the inner circle. Putting it on his finger, the ring fit his ring finger perfectly as he thought, then he took it off, put it in the box and closed the lid, stood up and threw the box to Hannibal, saying to him: " We should go home." He opened the door and walked out.

The thin and straight back of the young man looked like a medieval oil painting in the setting sun. He was slender and had shiny blond hair. When he turned to look at Hannibal, the smile on his mouth was like an angel descending.

Gabriel liked the pair of rings, although he didn't intend to wear them yet, but at least he didn't dislike them, which satisfied Hannibal, and he put the pair of rings away, waiting for it to be opened again .

The days pass by like this, except for the occasional disappearance in the city or the neighboring city, but people leave every day in the modern city. The fast-paced life makes people have no energy to care about other people's affairs. These insignificant disappearances are just It is the splash of a pebble splashing in the stagnant water on a rainy day in the metropolis.

On the other hand, more than three months have passed since Hannibal disappeared in the Capone Pavilion, and a year has passed since Hannibal left the United States. Jack has no way to stay here for a long time, and Will has been sent back to his country He also has no reason to stay here, besides, he has been sniped by unknown people several times. If he is not lucky, he will not only pay the result of his arm injury.

After the extradition of Dr. Bedelia du Maurier, who seemed insane, was settled, Jack fled from Italy.

The Italian authorities also lost traces of Hannibal. When no earth-shattering case was discovered again, the heat finally subsided. Perhaps the only one who is still paying attention to Hannibal Lecter is Mason Way in the United States. Gerge and his psychiatrist.

Standing in front of the table full of luxury goods, Alana showed a confident smile, and lightly opened her flaming red lips with lipstick: "This is the tableware from Dr. Hannibal Lecter's house, the silver tableware is nineteen Century Danish style, bought from Quentin, France, the dinner plate is French Giang ceramics from Tiffany, and the tablecloth is Damascus cotton sateen, also from Quintin, France.” The slender and white palm brushes the smooth fabric, the feeling of touch Fascinating.

"You have to admit, this man has extraordinary taste." Mason moved the wheelchair towards the table, and he said in admiration, "I am more and more curious about how delicious little Gabby is that makes Dr. Lecter fascinated by him. "

"I... discovered a few shopping patterns." Alana ignored Mason's nonsense, flipped through the list in her hand, and continued, "It's exactly the same as his living habits in Baltimore. A list from a Lithuanian grocery store Receipt, from an old store in 1926, for two bottles of Bad Montrachet and some white truffles, bought again and again.”

Mason looked at the female doctor and laughed. The face without lips made his laughter strange, like a deflated balloon.

"For the past three months, once a week, sometimes it's a middle-aged man in a hat, sometimes it's a blond young man, paying in cash every time, and you think it's going to be Hannibal and Gabriel right?" Alana asked.

"Very good," Mason's eyes were filled with admiration, and his eyes shone with excitement, "Whether it's true or not, we have to go and see, right? Cordell! Quickly Carlo find me!"

After ordering Cordell to wait for Carlo, Mason looked at the female doctor with a malicious smile: "You know Hannibal very well and are very careful. Can I understand that you have a crush on your mentor?"

"Please add the word past, Mr. Verger." Alana said softly, she was very different from the doctor of psychology in the past with heavy makeup, even if Will stood in front of her, he would not be able to recognize her.

"Ah, I understand that a woman who is broken in love is a terrible avenging angel, hahahahaha." Mason laughed out loud, his eyes showed no respect, and he had never respected anyone in his life.

Alana lowered her head, lest she couldn't resist kicking him in the face, after all, she still had to complete the task, she couldn't mess it up before then.
