"Sorry, I thought I could make an appointment with him the next day, but when I called, I found out that he was still giving lectures to students in France, so it was postponed until today, a week later." On the seventh day after waking up, Steve came as scheduled The hospital took Li Lu to see the famous psychiatrist.

As soon as she opened the door and she hadn't fully entered the room, Li Lu heard the sound of apology first. She was complaining to Li's mother about her decision to go back to school after being discharged from the hospital and continue her classes. The husband has heard her complaint just now.

It has been seven days since she woke up. During these seven days, Li Lu calmed down and sneered at her parents and Steve, coupled with fancy Internet searches, finally collected a rough idea of ​​her information in this world.

First of all, her family’s financial situation is indeed similar to what she remembers. Before she became a cartoonist, her family’s financial situation was just ordinary. According to Tucao Jun in North America, her financial situation is not even considered a “poor family”. Enough of a 'poor family', all because she started to learn to draw manga when she was in high school, her brain opened up and her drawing skills were fresh and impressive, and she became a master.

Afterwards, various private orders and short stories were booked in an endless stream, and a painting drawn in a four-hour board can be sold for 2000 US dollars.Under such circumstances, Li Lu, who has great enthusiasm for painting and making money, paints almost every day except for class. The more finished products, the more fans he accumulates, and the more money he earns.

In addition to various publications and peripherals, there is also a fee for autographed group photos at the comic exhibition. In four years, she has led a "poor family" into a "middle-class family" by herself.

With money, of course she wants to travel around, so in this world, she didn’t go to university and become an art student as she remembered, but she took the IELTS test, got a visa and contacted a host family. After receiving a deposit, he went to study in the United States.

Probably because although I like making money, I am more keen on saving money than spending it. In short, Li Lu did not find a high school in the center of New York to study, but after considering various consumption comparisons, he chose 'China' in Queens. City High School'.

——If the world in front of her is not the real world, and her previous memories are not illusory, she can conclude that there is a boy named Peter Parker in this 'Midtown High School', and he is the most discussed and most mysterious boy on the Internet 'Spiderman'.

And this is actually a very crucial point right now.

——It plays a decisive role in confirming the judgment of whether the memory is true or false.

If there is really a boy named 'Peter Parker' in that high school and his real identity is Spider-Man, it is enough to prove that the current world is just a big fusion of the real world and the Marvel world.

If not, or the identities of the two of them do not match, it means that the memory in her brain is indeed what Steve said: "You just combined the fantasy and the real memory, you hope we are the ones in the comics. You wish you knew all our secrets, but the 'secrets' you claim are things that the rest of the populace know as well."

'But the other people didn't know Peter's identity. ’ she thought of this a few days later when she was gathering all her thoughts.

Li Lu, who had lost his magic wand, had no way to use the simplest way - to use magic to determine the authenticity of the 'dream', but on the second day alone, she deliberately dismissed Li's father and Li mother, and wanted to test without a magic wand. When using the apparition, a complete failure was enough to make her feel melancholy.

But anyone who has been to high school would not want to go to high school again. Even if she wanted to find Peter Parker to confirm her guess, it was limited to searching, and she did not intend to go to high school again to prove her guess.

But when the doctor routinely asked and checked Li Lu's body in the morning, and announced that her body functions were basically stable and normal, and she could be discharged from the hospital and resume her normal life, Mother Li seemed to have been waiting for this moment. An important news was announced to her.

"Honey, you should be a college student by now, but coincidentally, the year you got into a car accident, you were only halfway through your senior year...so..."

So she needs to go back to her senior year again.

"Can't I just stay at home? Don't forget that the accident happened to me because there are fanatical fans outside. If I go back to class again, it will definitely leak the news. When they find out that I have awakened and resurrected, another one may appear the next moment." A fresh corpse." She argued, "And it's me."

She really doesn't want to study. Having a super memory doesn't mean she doesn't need to use her brain, and to help her, she needs more time to look up clues instead of clocking in from nine to four in class.

Li's mother has always been easy to talk to, and Li Lu understands that as long as she acts more coquettishly and becomes stronger, things will definitely develop as she hopes.

At most, pinch her thigh and attack with some tears, and she will always succeed.

But at this time Steve pushed the door open and entered, the apology interrupted the mother and daughter's conversation, and after stepping into the ward, he answered Li Lu's question very seriously on behalf of Li's mother.

"You're right, but what I'm going to tell you is that it's safer to go to high school than to stay by yourself."

He winked at Li Lu, because being handsome always has benefits, such as the long eyelashes blinking up and down, the blue eyes flickering, and she lost the best opportunity to refute doubts in a daze.

When she came back to her senses, Steve had already brought her to the 'psychological clinic', let's call it that, where she had an appointment for a week.

It takes a long time to drive from Queens to downtown New York, even when the roads aren't peak hours.

On the way, Steve told her many things that could not be said in front of Li's mother.For example, on the day Li Lu woke up, the 'Satan' who hadn't appeared for two years appeared again, and this time the 'angel' was at the corner of the street not far from the hospital where Li Lu lived.

Through forensic examination, both the modus operandi and cutting habits are enough to prove that this is the same person as the 'Satan' two years ago.

"The crime stopped with Li Lu's coma, and continued with her awakening." This made the police suspect that the murderer may have been monitoring Li Lu's every move for the past two years. Only in this way can he explain why the other party noticed it so early Li Lu's awakening.

As for the monitoring equipment, I don't know which object in the hospital, or which 'person' it is, which is why Steve couldn't say these things at that time.

Everything he said was horrific, whether it was the close surveillance suspecting the new, obvious cases that could no longer be used to 'welcome her back'.

But the strangeness brought to Li Lu was not as good as what she felt after coming here. When she stepped into the building with one foot, Steve's voice seemed to be pulled away suddenly. Become ethereal and distant.

The door is like an enchantment, she can feel the warmth of the sunlight behind her, and in front of the calf that stepped into the door, the barely visible hairs and goose bumps are quickly lined up.

This is not due to the discomfort caused by the sufficient air-conditioning in the room and the large temperature difference between the inside and outside. Li Lu knows very well in his heart that it is all due to the strange feeling in his heart, and the source of the strangeness is related to this building.

'She seems to have an impression of this building, and she has been to or seen this place at least once in these two lifetimes, definitely. '

Steve entered the elevator one after the other with her, and the moment the elevator door closed, Li Lu swallowed uneasily.

**

5 minutes later, on the [-]th floor, the counseling room.

"Hello."

The moment he saw the man, Li Lu froze in place.The door behind you closes automatically without even the sound of closing. It is a very advanced and considerate device. Doctors like to choose the door lock to avoid disturbance.

The moment she looked up and saw the man sitting behind the desk, countless details and pictures flashed through her mind.

He crossed his fingers on his chest, against his chin, and wore a Patek Philippe watch on his left wrist.Although she was wearing a white coat outside, she could confirm that inside the white coat was a three-piece suit that was extremely exquisite, not only expensive but also definitely advanced customization.

The exact same decoration made her finally know where the strange feeling in her heart came from.

This building is too familiar. Li Lu has indeed been here before. Although she only traveled here for the first time when she just got the live broadcast system, this is also the place where she and Hannibal met for the first time.

The soft leather sofa, the door with excellent sound insulation that requires magic to eavesdrop, the super-cooling air conditioner, everything is the same as the so-called 'dream', nothing has changed, not even the man's attire Change.

She could guess what brand the leather shoes under the desk should be, and she could also deduce what brand the man's car should be in the underground parking lot of this building.

Think about the weird 'angel' who was skinned and dismantled, and then think about the unique and familiar beautiful 'murder scene photo', 'golden ratio'?Isn't that obvious enough? !

At this moment, she wanted to jump up and scream loudly, then turned around and ran away immediately, and grabbed Steve's hands and told him with the loudest voice in her life that this psychiatrist is the murderer, and he is definitely the murderer of these serial murders.

If he doesn't believe it, let him search Hannibal's house, and there will definitely be unexpected discoveries - such as the 'surprise-filled' basement.

But what if the Hannibal in front of him is the Hannibal whose throat was "cut and killed" by him?But what if his basement was empty and all evidence would have been erased long ago?

The moment she saw this man, her brain was like hot oil dripping into cold water, sizzling and crackling, although her posture was motionless and even her face seemed to have lost her nerves, Mu Mu didn't show any expression, but Li Lu swore that her brain was about to explode.

The tinnitus and the frying sound interacted, and all these thoughts happened in ten seconds.

And ten seconds later, the protagonist of the hundred and ten scenes in her mind was sitting behind the desk, with the same smile, the same patience, the same second sentence, and shouting the same dazed expression as when they first met She was in a daze.

"Miss?"

***

Merlin knew that Li Lu promised Steve to see this psychiatrist purely with a routine attitude.She has too many uncertainties, so she will not refuse any offer that may lead to consultation without danger.

But the premise is that the psychiatrist is not Hannibal!

She really thought about whether to talk to a psychiatrist, even if the psychiatrist couldn't get her to sort out her chaotic thoughts, she could teach her how to soothe the pain in her heart. After all, she had just experienced parting from life and death before coming here. grief.

But the premise is that the psychiatrist is not Hannibal! !

But the problem is that the man with a gentle smile and well-dressed clothes is really Hannibal.

Holy shit!

When Li Lu and Hannibal sat face to face on the two soft chairs in the room, Steve's introduction to Hannibal suddenly came to mind.He said that Hannibal was very kind, had a wide range of hobbies, and was very talkative, and would never say anything that the other party didn't want to hear.

'The best communicators'.

Every adjective seemed to describe Hannibal, and Li Lu was not so stupid that he didn't even realize it. She had asked Steve the name of the psychiatrist many times before.

Every time, Steve diverts him with other topics. For example, today, before entering the door, Li Lu actually asked again, "What is the name of the doctor? Isn't it impolite for me not to know his name?" '

But Steve’s response was: “He’s waiting for you at the door, instead of me introducing you, it’s better for him to introduce you when you first meet, which may have a better effect on his treatment of you. "

I recall this sentence again and again

Why was she persuaded when she came up with nonsense that had no logic at all?It seems that Steve Rogers has a kind of magical power, even if the nonsense words are spoken from his mouth, it seems to increase the sense of conviction several times, making people involuntarily believe every word he says.

This must be the setting that the character is born with.

Coupled with his big eyes that are easy to lose sight, after that illogical sentence, I still remember Steve blinking his blue eyes at her and talking about his accent: "I heard you I have never been to the UK, but the British pronunciation is nice and standard, although it may feel a little strange.”

After that, Li Lu didn't have anything related to the psychiatrist in his mind.

Instead, she suddenly realized that it had been seven days before she realized the loophole of forgetting to switch languages.

He kindly pointed out and sat at the door, picked up a magazine and read it, looking like he was waiting for Li Lu to come out: "But remember to change your pronunciation when you arrive at school, I heard that you were often excluded and bullied when you were in school .I guess the reason besides good looks may be the problem of accent."

Steve is also good at complimenting people.

At that time, she said 'thank you, I remember', turned around and opened the door to go in, and still made a note in her mind: 'I was bullied and excluded at school', so the prisoner may also be someone in the same class or school.

such information.

She completely forgot to worry, after entering the door, when she looked up, she saw Hannibal extending his hand in a friendly way to say hi to her, she was really caught off guard.

****

Ever since Hannibal and Li Lu sat down, their eyes had never been idle, and they were all staring at each other closely, for fear of missing the slightest change in expression or small movements.

He entered the role very quickly, and his treatment methods were different from what Li Lu had seen on TV—first, he had a relaxed and pleasant chat, and after introducing each other to each other in a lively atmosphere like acquaintances, he then proceeded to the topic without any burden.

After briefly introducing his name, he took out the case board and pen, put them on his crossed knees, and single-handedly said: "Actually, I already know something about the serial murder case. When I came back from France, I promised Steve to meet you some time, and the second is because the police asked me to participate in the investigation of this case. So this and the two can be combined into one thing, and the ultimate purpose is the same.”

He didn't even ask Li Lu's name and purpose, as if he already knew her information like the back of his hand.

"No, I don't want to talk about this topic first." This made Li Lu feel uncomfortable and even more uneasy, she held down her knees that wanted to stand up and run away towards the door at any time, "You knowme."

Her eyes looked directly at each other, and the man returned her gaze without avoiding it.

"I know." He affirmed her words lightly, and nodded slightly.

Li Lu immediately clamped his legs and tightened his whole body, pinched the hem of the skirt tightly with his ten fingers on his knees, and became on guard. 'He knows her!So the Hannibal in front of me is the one who was 'cut to death', and he also traveled to this world! 'The first second.

'How should I speak? Why did he confess his identity so easily this time? Shouldn't he pretend to be like the detective until the end? 'Second second.

'What the hell is he planning? 'The third second.

After he answered in the affirmative, the two were silent for a full three seconds.Three seconds later, Hannibal lowered his head very naturally and slightly raised the case on his knees, turned the previous pages upside down, and shifted his gaze from Li Lu's face to the paper in his hand.

"Steve gave me your information, Li Lu, right?"

Li Lu: ...

Even if it was a momentary mistake in her guess, it still couldn't change the most important judgment.

But since the psychiatrist is really Hannibal, contact the previous details, plus Steve and him both mentioned that the profiler of this case is Hannibal, and the police specially invited him to help deduce the case.

Li Lu was basically sure that the murderer was him.

But why would such a plot be designed?If the world in front of her was a fake world fabricated by the live broadcast system, and the live broadcast didn't give any response or announce the task, she would have no way to start, and headless flies would run around everywhere.

"I'm very scared, doctor." The embarrassing topic should be skipped directly, and Li Lu didn't want to think about the deceitful mistakes, so he threw the next trap directly, "It's not an exaggeration to say that I am worried day and night. It has been seven days since I woke up. I never had a good night's sleep, I always felt that the murderer would come for me and he would kill me."

Li Lu brought up the case directly, and there were almost no loopholes in the whole paragraph.

She really hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past seven days, although the reason has nothing to do with the murderer of the serial murder case - but after seeing Hannibal today, she thinks that if she can't sleep peacefully in the future, the reason must be related to the serial murder case up.

In order to keep his emotions in line, Li Lu restrained all the techniques used to suppress his emotions, fully exposing his fear of Hannibal.This is actually a very interesting thing. Expressions and demeanor can help people judge the authenticity of words, but sometimes they can also mislead others.

Because he can only see that you are afraid, but he can't see what makes you afraid for a while.

But Hannibal raised one eyebrow, as if he thought her reaction was very interesting, and even the words in his mouth were a bit playful: "This is a normal phenomenon. Fear is an instinctive reaction. It is necessary to eliminate the fear in your heart. There is only one way out of fear, and that is to catch the murderer."

He twirled the pen twice in his hand, distracting Li Lu's attention a bit, and his eyes narrowed slightly, apparently not missing this subtle change in her expression.

Li Lu frowned slightly and then immediately opened his mouth: "I understand, I also really hope that the murderer will be arrested as soon as possible, but in fact! As the only person who has seen the murderer and survived, I don't remember his appearance at all, even when he was in a coma before. I don't remember everything that happened."

When she said this, she fixed her eyes on Hannibal, hoping that he would show his flaws.

Regardless of whether the other party is Hannibal with the live broadcast system or the Hannibal of this world, after committing this crime, he will definitely be very concerned about whether she remembers him.

Therefore, after Li Lu said this sentence, the expression and language of the other party.There must be some changes in body movements.

Li Lu also reacted a little bit.

That is: Even if the other party has a live broadcast system, it doesn't matter. Her appearance is actually only a little similar to Ginny. Her hair color and eyes have been changed, and her face shape and nose height have been slightly adjusted. Even if Ginny is compared with her, no one will Determine that they are one person.

So even if the Hannibal in front of him has a live broadcast system, he will never recognize her, and will only treat her as an ordinary NPC.

The previous speculation was indeed redundant, how could he recognize that she was Misha?

Seeing Hannibal nodded, he responded very naturally: "It's okay, it's not a big deal. Although hypnosis is mythical and exaggerated by many people, but for recovering the memory lost due to too much stimulation , it's really the best way."

After hearing his answer, Li Lu's eyes dilated slightly.

Although Hannibal's expression didn't change, there was a huge hole in his language, 'Memory lost due to too much stimulation? ! '

Who told Hannibal that she had been stimulated to lose her memory?It was Steve who gave Hannibal the information, but Steve clearly told her and Li's mother that they were 'brain hit', including the conclusion given by the doctor.

But if it is said that the real cause of memory loss is stimulation, then there is only one person who knows more about Li Lu's condition than the doctor—the murderer himself.

Li Lu shuddered, looking at the smile on the man's face at this time, he could no longer feel the original leisure and indifference, but a bit of coldness oozes from it.

Only then did she notice that the smile on the man's face was like a hunter looking at the easy prey.

Swallowing almost no saliva, Li Lu waved his hands again and again to evade: "No need, I don't want to hypnotize today."

Just kidding, if she was hypnotized by him, she might die directly in her dream and become the first brain-dead patient in his hands.

He knocked on the table, looked at Li Lu and shook his head with a chuckle, and then slowly said: "Don't worry, I'm not going to hypnotize you today. Hypnosis cannot be performed when the patient does not fully trust the doctor."

Li Lu didn't speak.

Hannibal obviously had something to say, pointing out the fact that he found out that she didn't believe him, but the two of them met within 10 minutes from the beginning to the end, did she show any clues?

No, that's not the case. It's only 10 minutes. Normal people will not trust someone they meet for the first time in such a short period of time, even if that person is a doctor.Li Lu felt that he couldn't make a fuss just because of one or two words from the other party.

It is a taboo to fight against all plants and trees.

"You are very wary of me, and even showed a gesture of fear. Is there anything about me that scares you?" He still had a faint smile on his face, and even his tone was gentle and terrifying, as if his words were being overwhelmed. Several balls of cotton are wrapped, and there are thin needles in the center of the cotton.

Yes, ordinary psychiatrists can only see fear, but not the source of fear, so they will be misled.

But she also overlooked one thing. The man who was engaged in psychological warfare with her in front of her was Hannibal. He was not an ordinary psychiatrist, and he was not even an ordinary murderer.

Li Lu didn't speak, but pretended to be calm and restrained all expressions to look at Hannibal, even though he was flustered and lost his position, he must not reveal his true expression until the last moment.

But as if arranged by God, Merlin cast a spell, the confrontation crisis was exactly the same as the first meeting, the tension was exactly the same, and the mobile phone vibrated exactly the same.

It's just that the cell phone that shattered Silence this time didn't come from her, but from him.

Hannibal clamped the pen to the board, and reached into the side pocket of his clothes with his free hand.

The same interior decoration and men's clothes make it difficult for Li Lu to think of the first meeting, and at this moment she thought of a key point-her mobile phone vibrated at that time because the live broadcast system released a task, what about Hannibal? ?

Why did Hannibal take out his phone at this time?

"And I also discovered a very interesting phenomenon just now." He took out his mobile phone while continuing to talk to her, "You have used the name 'Li Lu' for nearly 20 years, why did you just fall into a coma for two years? Time, when you heard this name, your reaction was like calling someone else, and you waited for a long time before replying to me."

Hannibal calculated time differently from ordinary people.

From when he called Li Lu to when she responded, it didn't take more than a second at most.

And he really puzzled Li Lu, it seemed that every time the two met, he had to question her name.When she was called 'Ginny', she tolerated it when she was seen through. Why in this world, she was still called 'questioned' after calling her real name back?

During the few seconds when Li Lu did not respond, the phone in his hand was still vibrating, and the screen flickered.

She wanted to find out what was on the screen, to see if it was a live broadcast task, or if it was just an ordinary phone call.

But after she tried to raise her chin and still couldn't see the other party's mobile phone screen clearly, and cold sweat was already streaming down her temples, she finally couldn't hold back her legs that had wanted to run away for a long time.

She stood up and left from the chair, turned around and walked out with steady steps pretending to be calm: "Since I have a call for you, I will go out first, Steve is still waiting for me outside the door."

She didn't know what she said, she just kept reminding herself not to pant too loudly or too hastily.

Even after going through so much and seeing a demon king who is more cruel than Hannibal, the fear of Hannibal seems to be rooted in his heart, and after growing up for so long, he still can't suppress him.

Li Lu felt very frustrated.

And in such a long conversation, she was caught by the other party and found all the loopholes, but the available information she found was very little. Hannibal seemed to be a height that she could never surpass.

"No, there's no need to avoid it. I'm really interested in your reaction. What exactly did you dream about during the two years you were in a coma that would make you abandon your current name and take another identity as yourself instead?"

His calling didn't make Li Lu slow down.

She even quickened her pace, if it wasn't for the sound insulation of the door, she would even sit on the ground and yell directly, calling Steve in from outside the door.

"Sit back in your seat and don't move, just wait until I finish answering this call."

He said that the phone vibrated because someone was calling.

He pressed a certain key, and the disturbing vibration of the phone finally stopped.But Li Lu was not an obedient person. At this time, she had already walked to the door, her right hand was covering the doorknob while she was talking.

"Misha."

he said again.

! ! ! !

*****

Seventh day after death:

Guess what!The psychiatrist is indeed Hannibal!

During the conversation, his cell phone kept vibrating. It is very likely that the live broadcast system released the task.

Just when she finally relieved herself that her appearance was so different from Ginny's now that even Hannibal with the live broadcast system couldn't recognize her, he pressed the (answer or accept the task) button.

Then call her 'Misha'.

It is true that there are surprises everywhere in life, and there are no encounters in life.

Fate, amazing.

The author has something to say:

Surprised or not?Is the thorn exciting or unexpected?

And it's eight thousand words!

Everyone should pay attention to keeping warm and hydrating. I thought everything would be fine after I got home from school and it wasn’t cold, but the heating was too warm and I got angry with mouth ulcers and swollen gums.

QAQ everyone, remember to drink more water, don’t stay up late because of the holidays (I seem to be very unconvincing when I stay up late to code, and run away with my cheeks covered)
