Loki took a sip of the hot cocoa that the young man opposite him poured for him, the mellow sweetness made him squint his eyes comfortably.

"What's your name?" Ivan sat diagonally across from Rocky, watching Rocky drink the cup of hot cocoa happily.

For this question, Loki blinked and made up a name casually.

"My name is Jamie," Loki lied without showing any guilt, "Jamie Kenny."

Ivan tapped twice on the table with his finger: "I need the contact information of your family members. If they can't find you, they will be worried."

"They won't!" Loki's eyes quickly filled with tears, and he looked at Ivan, "No one wants me to go back."

"I don't want to go back to my life as a hostage," Loki said. "My uncle beats me when he's drunk. I really don't want to go back. Please let me stay."

The boy's sobbing tone made people feel distressed, and Ivan was silent for a while.

"I can help you with anything, I won't live here for nothing." Loki looked at Ivan, "I swear, if they really come to me, I will go back with them. But it's impossible, They won't come."

"Three days," Ivan finally said, "You can only stay with me for three days, and I will send you home after three days, otherwise, you should leave here now."

three days?Loki calculated the time it would take for his magic power to eliminate the mark left by the third-rate mage on Earth, and then showed a grateful smile to Ivan on the opposite side.

"Three days is fine," Loki pursed his lips, "as long as I can get rid of them for a few days."

Ivan looked at the boy opposite, then stood up: "I only have one bed here, and you only have two choices. Sleep with me, or sleep on the sofa, you choose."

Loki's expression froze for a second. He grew up so big that he only slept with Sol once when he was a child, and it ended when he kicked Thor out of bed in the middle of the night.Other than that, he never shared a bed with anyone again.

The sofa he was sitting on was stiff when he sat up, and Loki didn't even dare to imagine what it would be like to sleep on this sofa for three days.

"I'll sleep with you," Loki said to Ivan, "thank you very much."

Ivan turned around and prepared to go back to the room to find another quilt. He had just taken a step when a boy's voice came from behind him.

"What's your name?"

"Ivan Bird." Ivan replied as he walked into the room.

Ivan dug out a quilt from the cabinet in the bedroom and put it on the bed.

"You know you don't have any money left?" Ann said, "So please tell me you brought that boy back to kidnap him and hold his family for ransom, not because of your goddamn sympathy It's messing around."

"He only stays for three days," Ivan said. "For three days, I can still afford a child's board and lodging."

"I knew it." If Ann had eyes, she would definitely roll her eyes at Ivan, "Do you think he looks like you when you were a child?"

Ivan didn't answer this time. He turned around and found a set of T-shirts and sweatpants he wore in junior high school from the closet, intending to use them as pajamas for the boy in the living room.

Ann watched as Ivan handed the clothes to the boy, took the boy to the bathroom, and thoughtfully helped adjust the water temperature so that the boy could take a hot bath.

To be honest, when Ann saw this boy, she had a very subtle sense of familiarity, as if she had seen this boy before.But no matter how hard Ann tried to remember, she couldn't remember how long she had seen this boy.

That strange sense of familiarity made An subconsciously feel strongly defensive towards this boy.She didn't detect any negativity in this boy, which was quite abnormal.

As long as there are self-aware creatures, there will be more or less negative emotions, and there will be no one who does not have the slightest negative emotions.Not to mention, according to the boy himself, his parents died and his relatives were very mean to him.In such a situation, it is difficult for someone not to have negative emotions.

A guy with no negative emotions looks very suspicious no matter how he looks at it, An mumbled.

"Why no negative emotions?" Ivan vaguely heard An's muttering voice.

"That boy," Ann said, "I don't feel any negativity about him. I don't think he's right."

Ivan looked in the direction of the bathroom, and he frowned.

"What does it mean to have no negativity?"

"Uh..." Anka paused, "Generally, creatures without self-awareness don't have negative emotions, because they don't feel anything at all, and that boy doesn't look like he has no self-awareness."

Ann then spoke again: "And it's strange, this boy gives me a familiar feeling, but I have no impression of his face at all."

There was a sound of opening the door from the bathroom, and Loki came out of the bathroom wearing clothes that were a bit too baggy.

"He's only here for three days," Ivan said to Ann, "as long as he doesn't cause me any trouble during these three days, just leave him alone."

Ivan looked at Rocky who was walking in front of him. His junior high school clothes were still too big for Rocky.

"I'm not at home in the morning," Ivan found out the hair dryer, planning to blow dry the hair of the boy in front of him, "I'll leave some money for you, and you can order takeaway."

Rocky yawned in the warm air of the hairdryer and asked, "Where are you going during the day?"

Ann answered for Ivan in Ivan's mind: "He's going to trouble an ogre, it's very exciting~~~"

Ivan ignored Ann who was raving nonsense in his mind, touched the boy's almost dry hair, and then put away the hair dryer.

"I'm going to work." Ivan replied.

Loki yawned again, and he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. This time should be the time for the cubs on the earth to go to bed.

"That's the bedroom," Ivan pointed in the direction of the bedroom, "the gray quilt is yours."

"Good night, Mr. Bird." Loki smiled, then turned and walked into the bedroom.

Ivan watched the boy walk into the bedroom, and was about to walk into the bathroom when the phone on the table rang suddenly.

It was a message from John, and Ivan quickly clicked on the text message.

[Hannibal Lecter is normal, Will Graham did not return to the hotel today.Lionel said that the FBI took over a new case, and Will Graham stayed up all night in the FBI building to analyze the case. 】

Ivan returned a text message to John, asking about the situation in Baltimore.

Soon John texted back, this time very briefly.

[I haven't found any useful clues yet. 】

Ivan had just read this message, and before he had time to reply, the next message came.

【Leinard may not be able to accompany you to find Will Graham tomorrow, can you go by yourself? 】

The young man quickly replied in the affirmative, and then put away the phone.

"What are you going to talk to Will Graham about tomorrow?" Ann asked.

Ivan walked into the bathroom and washed his face with his intact hand.

"Tell me something about Hannibal Lecter," Ivan said. "Agent Graham should ask the people in Baltimore to look up the phone. Let's tell the agent some interesting news."

"for example?"

"Like about Abigail."

In an office in the FBI building, Will drank the last drop of coffee in his quilt, and he leaned back in the chair a little tiredly.

The phone rang harshly, and Will looked at the call notification. It was Jack Crawford, the black detective far away in Baltimore.

"Jack," Will answered the phone, "do you have any clues?"

Jack Crawford's voice came from the other end of the phone: "You know, we checked before you left, only the call from the blocked number, and nothing else was found."

Will rubbed his temples: "Is there no source for that call at all?"

"If there was any clue, we should have found it before you left Baltimore," replied Jack Crawford.

Will remembered what Ivan said to himself before, and he stared at the messy information on the desktop for a while.

"Jack," Will said, "can you check for me the phone records from where Garrett Jacob Hobbs works? The records from the day Hannibal and I went to investigate."

Meanwhile, John is huddled in an empty house across from a hotel.

John has been staring at that Hannibal Lecter all afternoon. That guy hasn't stepped out of the hotel all day. Hannibal Lecter's words and deeds can't be more normal.

"Honestly," John said, "Hannibal Lecter, the perverted ogre, had a pretty mediocre day."

Finch's voice came from the headset, "I can't find any useful news on the Internet, and there is no good news from Baltimore."

"Don't worry, Finch," John said, "he'll always...wait."

There was a moment of silence on John's side, and then the voice came again.

"He's gone," John opened the door and walked downstairs, "Hannibal Lecter just left the hotel."

"What?" Finch looked at the time, "It's ten o'clock in the evening, what is he going to do now when he leaves the hotel?"

"We'll find out," John followed Hannibal unhurriedly, "I'll follow him."

"He won't be..." Finch's voice revealed worry. He was afraid that Hannibal Lecter was out so late in search of prey.

John stopped after following Hannibal for a short time. He watched Hannibal walk into a wine shop.He deliberately stopped at the door for 2 minutes before walking into the wine.

There were not many people in this wine, and John saw Hannibal Lecter at a glance.Hannibal was sitting at the edge of the stage, talking to a blond man next to him.
