this damn love

Hannibal listened to Julianne's story.In her mouth, Lilian suddenly appeared when she was in danger when she was a child, "It's like an angel who descended from the sky to save me" - Julian couldn't hide her surprise.

The two grew up together, and she also talked about Lilian's personality and habits, but because Lilian didn't appear many times, she didn't know Lilian's past, and she quickly ran out of words.

"Anyway, that's all I know," Julian asked confused. "Could it be that Lilian is really your sister? This kind of thing is unbelievable."

Hannibal stared deeply at her with gray-blue eyes, and smiled noncommittally, "Maybe."

"Maybe what? You're suspecting her"

Julian couldn't help but refute, feeling sorry for Lilian in her heart.She had read Hannibal's file, and if Lilian was really his sister, it must be very sad to be suspected by her brother.

Hannibal smiled and said, "You said it too, doesn't this kind of thing sound absurd? I thought it was my split personality, but it turned out to be another soul? Believe me, the FBI will definitely give you for testing."

Julian's expression tightened, "What do you mean? Are you going to tell them?"

Her unconcealable nervous expression was seen in Hannibal's eyes. In the eyes of the wise and insightful Hannibal, Julian was like a blank piece of paper that could be painted on freely.

He hasn't seen such a simple person for a long time, and when he heard the news that it might be his sister, he stared at her with a happy smile and said, "Of course not. Girl, compared to those in BAU, we now have a common secret, don't we?" huh. I'm just saying, there's more to my

You have to confront Lilian in person to be sure.when will she wake up "

Julian said, "I don't know, it can range from a day or two to half a month or even longer."

"Then," Hannibal tapped on the glass with his fingers, making a slight and regular sound, "the next time she wakes up, come to me again."

With a polite smile of "seeing off guests" on his face, no one could see the anxiety in his heart at the moment.

Every minute and second of waiting for "Lilian" to wake up is a repeated torment of a heart.

"Wait!" Julian said hurriedly, "You haven't told me about Buffalo Bill yet!"

Hannibal said softly, "As I said, you just told me that there is too little useful information about Lilian...Maybe it's another lie colluding with BAU."

Julian bit her lower lip hard, "I didn't lie to you! If it wasn't for catching Bill earlier, I wouldn't-"

"I know," Hannibal raised his hand in a throwing gesture, his tone was almost doting, and his eyes gazed at her tenderly, "you are a kind and soft-hearted child. And I am also a person who keeps promises."

"Well, first, tell me why you call him Buffalo Bill?"

Originally, she thought she would be discouraged by the other party's excuses, but the ups and downs turned around. Julian's mood was like a roller coaster. A joke in the group where they say 'this man likes to skin his prey'."

Hannibal was very interested, "Then, what do you think is the reason. Lilian may not know if she hasn't studied psychology systematically, but you are different. Come on, use your sharpness to inspire me."

Julian considered, "Most serial killers keep things from their victims as souvenirs." When she said this, she suddenly thought, "Just like you."

"Oh no," Hannibal laughed slowly, "I'm not like them." When he said this, his tone was contemptuously aristocratic, "I never keep those dirty things on."

Julian looked at the polite man in front of her. If it wasn't for his prison uniform, his upright standing posture, his slightly raised chin, and his haughty and elegant temperament, it would be impossible for people to imagine that he is also like this, and even more terrifying. The heart-eating maniac, "Yes, you don't keep it, but you will eat it. I read in the data that you have almost no rules for killing people. As long as you get excited, you will kill and eat your heart."

This is also one of the reasons why the famous BAU listed Hannibal as the most precious research material.He is obviously a wise and calm criminal with a high IQ, so how could he do whatever he wants when choosing his prey? "So, there must be some kind of underlying law." Whether it's Hannibal or Buffalo Bill.

As long as the commonality is found, more characteristics of the murderer can be unearthed.

There was a hint of a smile at the corner of Hannibal's mouth, "I withdraw my preface, you have a keen intuition, and BAU is more suitable for you."

"Thank you." Julian maintained a calm expression, but a hint of secret joy quietly appeared in her heart.As Dr. Hannibal, an authority in the field of psychology, being able to say this is to some extent an affirmation of her professionalism.

And his gentle and loving eyes with hints of encouragement, like an elder teaching his students, invisibly narrowed the distance between them.

--Unknowingly, she has already walked in front of the glass wall, and the distance between the two of them is very close.But she didn't notice the change in the distance, she looked at Hannibal and couldn't wait to continue asking.

The man in the glass wall is like a bottomless abyss, unfathomable, knowing how dangerous it is to approach, but still can't help but be attracted by his profound knowledge and wise mind.

What's even more frightening is that at this time, Julian hadn't even noticed that she had fallen into the net woven by the other party step by step.

Hannibal waved his hand, "Let's talk next time, you have to sympathize with an old man who is no longer handsome and not as energetic as your young people." He showed a tired expression at the right time, still smiling gently, waiting to see her off leave.

Julianne almost blurted out that you are still handsome and charming, and swallowed it when she realized it, "Of course, I'm sorry to bother you."

Feeling a little lost, she shook her head self-consciously and absurdly, and started walking back down the aisle.

Immediately passing by the cell next door, a man's howl suddenly sounded: "I bit my wrist, so that I can die—la! Did you see it bleeding?"

Julian, immersed in her own thoughts, was frightened and subconsciously looked into the cell.But when the other party flicked his fingers, before he could turn his face away, he felt something warm and sticky splash on his face.

She suddenly felt nauseous, that thing was not blood, it was semen!

She staggered back two steps, but was almost grabbed by the man in the cell behind her. She dodged in a hurry, panting with lingering fear, "Julian!" Doctor Lecter's voice was shrill and piercing right behind her, " Julianne!"

He knocked on the glass vigorously, looking very eager.

Julian fought back the humiliating tears and rummaged around in the bag for toilet paper.

"Julianne," Hannibal called, with his head almost bent in front of the glass so he could see where she was, "you come here!"

Julian wiped the liquid from her face vigorously, feeling sick and wanting to vomit.It took almost all of his willpower to hold back his tears, and walked back to Hannibal with a stiff expression.

Only then did Hannibal regain his former composure, "Don't be nervous, I won't do that to you like Max did. Disrespect is indescribably abhorrent to me."

His expression was stern and solemn, and the fire in his eyes was blazing, but it was so fleeting that she thought it was an illusion.

"I will give you a small gift, maybe you will feel comforted," his words have completely attracted her attention, and she looked at him without blinking, "go to my former patient, Miss Murphy, maybe you will find it interesting." things. Go ahead. Hurry up."

At the end, she yelled loudly, Julian grabbed her handbag tightly, rushed across the next cell with his urging, and threw Max's maniacal laughter behind her.

Walking out of the prison and bathing in the sun again, fresh air poured into her lungs to wash away the stale air in the prison, and Julian's eyes turned red.

She walked quickly to a nearby public toilet, splashed water on her face vigorously, and scrubbed her skin over and over until her cheeks turned red.

With the sound of gurgling water, she leaned on the edge of the pool with both hands, looked up at the woman with messy hair and red eyes in the mirror, and twitched her mouth in self-deprecating, "Lilian, am I too useless?"

The other self sleeping in the body did not answer.

She was not used to no response and waited for a long time.Suddenly, he realized that he had been deeply dependent on Lilian and lived under Lilian's protection and comfort.

When encountering danger and pain, the other party is always by her side to help her tide over the difficulties.

again and again.

Recalling her clumsy performance when interrogating Hannibal in the prison, she covered her face in shame, and a thought came to her mind: If Lilian did all this, the result would be better than now, right?

After being lost for a while, she quickly pulled herself together.Doctor Hannibal gave an important clue, and she had to hurry up.

Back at the police station, she began reviewing the files.Before the matter was urgent, Lilian only browsed briefly.But now, she had to search for the mental patient named "Murphy" in the vast files and materials.

In the end, it was discovered that the man had depression and mania, and was a lover of cross-dressing.

Judging from the data, he still had a stable relationship with him during his lifetime.However, there is not much introduction to his boyfriend in the information.

What caught Julian's attention was that Murphy was also the only one among the dozen or so serial murders committed by Hannibal whose body had not been found until now.

And the past BAU agents, even if they discovered this suspicious point, couldn't pry anything out of Hannibal's mouth.

"What does this have to do with Buffalo Bill?" Julian thought hard, and suddenly heard a familiar voice in her mind, "Because Murphy didn't kill him."

Calm with a hint of tiredness.

Julian's eyes widened suddenly, "Lilian!" She was pleasantly surprised and moved, because the other party woke up so quickly when she was at a loss.

"Yes." Lilian replied.She was silent for a while, accepting the memory of Julian when she was asleep.

But Julian didn't know it at all, and even Lilian could shield her when she manipulated her body. She never planned to tell the other party about these one-way abilities.

When she found herself trapped in Julian's body, she didn't panic. While playing a nurturing game with Julian, she played hide-and-seek with Thanatos with great interest--

Wherever she is, it will always find her.

Only this time the wait was a bit longer.

She didn't care about it either, watching Julian grow up under her shelter, and grow into a good child who was far from the darkness, pure and kind—just like Hannibal once expected of her as a younger sister.

Julian didn't know all this, she never kept any secrets from Lilian, and told Lilian almost verbatim the conversation between herself and Hannibal after she fell asleep, "What should we do next? ?”

Her questioning is natural, and this deep-rooted thinking of dependence has been cultivated since childhood.She didn't feel wrong at all, her trust in Lilian was like a person's trust in herself.

Who would be wary of "myself".

As a result, Lilian fell silent uncharacteristically, and she quickly realized that the other party was not really her personality, but a complete person with memories and a past.

--Soul and personality are two completely different existences.

Feeling empty, Julian realized that an invisible gully appeared among them.

She clenched her hands, instinctively resisting this change.

"Julian," Lilian seemed to be aware of her thoughts, and said softly, "Better than anything about Bill, I want to tell you about Hannibal and I first." The tone emphasized, "It's not about each person on the file. It’s not a guess, but the truest version.”

Julian froze, "Tell me, tell me? I thought you didn't want to..." There was a bit of aggrieved tone in her tone.

Lilian sighed softly, "It's not that I don't want to, but that it's too heavy a burden. I don't want you to bear it like I do, and you can't breathe."

Julian said stubbornly, "But I want to know—do you understand, what you said to Dr. Hannibal today, I can only listen to your conversation like a stranger, it's so uncomfortable! Just tell me, Lilian!" she begged, and Lilian would never say no to her requests.Just like when she got angry at her and told her not to show up, she fell into a deep sleep.

--If it wasn't for the surprise that Hannibal was still alive, she would really have slept until Thanatos found her.

Lilian whispered, "I was born in Lithuania before World War II..."
