[Comprehensive] Uncle Ba's food paradise

When the problem is closely related to you, the solution is imminent.Originally, he was going to hang out with the kid named Kent for a few more days, but Hannibal changed his original mind.He needs to learn about the unique biological change groups in this world - mutants as soon as possible.It is possible that his own cells have been modified, and obtaining more information would be beneficial for him to grasp his current situation.

Finding a chance to talk to Little Kent is quite simple. The college teacher wants to meet a student and chat in private, and it won't attract attention, especially since this student is one of the class who doesn't look good at speaking. Kent's mental health.After several conversations, Kent Jr. agreed to show more of his abilities, but he must get the approval of his parents.So Hannibal made an appointment for a home visit without hesitation.

At this time, it reflects the inconvenience of the elderly living alone with children.During the day when the children go to school, it doesn't matter if you go out to work, anyway, there are teachers watching over the school.But in the evenings or after hours on the weekends, if Hannibal wasn't home, Alice was alone, which wasn't very reassuring.

If it is smaller, you can put it at home with confidence, because you can put a monitor in the children's room at most when the child falls asleep, and then you can go out with confidence.If it is a little older, sixteen or seven like Kent, it is very close to an adult, with a certain degree of independence and self-reliance, you don't have to worry about it.It is this age of twelve or thirteen, who can move freely but is not fully sensible, that is the most worrying.You can't guarantee whether you will walk on the front foot, and she will go where the back foot will go.And if you encounter any difficulties, you can't guarantee that she can solve the problem by herself.

But it's not good to go to the student's home to visit with the little granddaughter, it will reduce my prestige, not to mention that what they want to discuss is a field that Alice should not set foot in.So after thinking twice, Hannibal signed up Alice for a weekend tennis lesson, so that every Sunday he would have a little 'leisure' time to do something of his own.Of course, Alice is not interested in this kind of 'doing nothing' amateur class. If it's a cooking class, she might still consider it. Tennis?That's not good.

"Oh, no, my little lady, I don't want to feed you like a little ball, then Laloran will never forgive me. And tennis will improve your blood circulation, keep your appetite good, and exercise you Your arm strength is in harmony with your body. A good cook must have good arm strength, and playing tennis is more suitable for you than other sports.”

For a girl of a few years old, being fat is a dead end. Sure enough, after a few words, Alice accepted the choice of tennis lessons.However, she still felt a little sorry for the tuition fees spent on tennis lessons. In her opinion, this was a huge sum of money that could be used to upgrade the computer.

Hannibal once again reflected that he should pay more attention to making money and let his granddaughter worry about his family's financial problems. This grandfather failed a bit.He is considering whether to get a medical certificate again and return to his old profession.But he quickly dismissed the idea.Although he is very good at both surgery and psychology, the work of a doctor will be very busy, which is not very good for taking care of children; furthermore, he is not very sure if he can manage it if he starts this. Live in the current vegetarian setting.

Human beings are easily tempted, even if he has a very strong psychological defense, he is not ready to test his tolerance for hunger.If the delicate skin, soft blood vessels are separated by a knife, and the familiar smell of blood is breathed, can he really resist trying that familiar smell?If he let himself listen to those dark inner voices, ridiculous and sad stories, and human nature that makes people laugh and cry, can he really bear not to hunt?

He loves Alice, his now granddaughter, so he's not going to test his patience.

... When she reaches adulthood, it will be five years.When she is an adult, send her to a school in a big city. Even if it is not boarding, many college students live independently.This time is not long, he must be patient and more resolutely implement his determination.

So when the appointed time came, he sent Alice to play tennis on Sunday. After negotiating with the coach, he confirmed that she was worthy of reassurance. He couldn't help adding a hypnotic hint before he went to Kent's house as originally planned.

Kent's home is far away, on a farm in the suburbs. It is inconvenient without a car, so he had to take a taxi.After arriving nearby, it can be found that there are no roads that cars can walk at all. The corn seedlings as high as a person's chest cover this piece of land. There are no roads for cars on the ground, and the end is far away.

He came much earlier than the appointed time, and of course he did not meet the Kent family who had made an appointment to pick him up here.So he got out of the car and continued to walk forward on foot according to the map.

This is his habit, to explore and familiarize himself with the surrounding environment by himself, don't underestimate these details, sometimes details can save your life.What he was going to meet was the family of a superhuman who was suspected of being a mutant, and it was hard to say what he would encounter here.

Hannibal has a good sense of direction, just like a pigeon can locate the direction. He has a strong sense of magnetic field and can easily distinguish the direction.But along the way, he felt that in this endless field, the breath of other life was nearby.

Not human.It should be said that this is a suburban area where there are few human beings. He locked his life and tried to hide himself, but he was still perceived by him. He knew that he was being regarded as the prey of 'what'.

This feels a bit novel and nostalgic, whether it is the FBI or the police, their pursuit of him is more like their duty, and only a very few of them can give him such a feeling of being "stalked by hunters".He didn't hate it, and occasionally he tried role-playing, leading his prey into a trap, killing and eating them the way they killed others.

But the feeling of nostalgia did not keep him indulging for too long, and soon he remembered that the purpose of his trip was not hunting, but a home visit.The creature, whatever it was, shouldn't let it take him too long, he didn't like his plans changed too much.

So he stopped, looked in that direction, and locked on the direction of that life——released the signal that he was the hunter as a warning.

He would not do this when he was actually hunting, he would restrain his breath and disguise himself as a lamb.What he's doing now is more of an intimidation - don't waste time or I'll make you my prey immediately, I'll come up to you, grab you, eat you, use you to barely fill that unbearable hunger.Whatever you are, I'm going to treat your flesh to something quite tasty, quite...delicious.

This terrifying and targeted breath is quite effective against wild animals.Hannibal heard the sound of sparse blades of grass, and listened to those sounds go away, until finally he saw the back of a running bear.

Something else was coming close.

As soon as he raised his vigilance, he heard a boy's voice not far away.

"Professor Hopkins—!!"

The boy waved his hands and quickly ran across the field towards him.Before that, he didn't hear any movement at all, it was as if the boy fell from the sky.

Hannibal frowned suspiciously, but soon relaxed it, and he waved his hand as a response.

After the boy walked over at a fast speed, he said quickly.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you to arrive so early. Don't walk around, it's dangerous. There is a forest on one side of this area, and there are occasional bears. Next time, please wait at the appointed place, or don't come from the south Come here."

Looking at the pale little Kent who was clearly not sweating or panting, but arrived in front of him at a very high speed, Hannibal smiled meaningfully.

"Understood, thank you, Mr. Kent Jr."

The boy said nervously: "Professor, can you please call me Clark like other teachers? You are... a little... I'm not used to it."

Hannibal saw through the boy's fear.

That's weird, would superhumans with unimaginable powers be scared?The object of his fear is himself... Did he really see it before?There was no doubt, probably because I thought that I was born to be extraordinary like him, right?

What a beautiful misunderstanding.

It's just that fear often arouses the instinct of hunters who smell fear, and makes themselves hungry when they are 'banning hunting'.

Hannibal looked at the boy again, imagining what he would look like five years from now.

"Okay, Clark, I think we may get along for a long time. As you said, it would be too unusual to call you by your last name."

Little Kent shuddered, and then confirmed that the professor really had special abilities.

Otherwise, what reason would make his scalp tingle just listening to the other party pronounce his name clearly with elegant syllables?It is impossible for him to be afraid of ordinary people, so this person must be his kind with special abilities.
