[Comprehensive British and American] Extraordinary

"Say you are willing to spend your whole life to share true love with me, guide me, and save me from the loneliness in my heart. Say you need me to be by your side all the time..."

The actor on the stage is impeccable from singing to emotional expression, but listen to what he is singing and what the people on stage are performing. It is "Phantom of the Opera"!

Amanda didn't want to say anything about it, and she didn't show any evasion when she knew that she and Hannibal were coming to hear "The Phantom of the Opera".Well, she was purely self-deceiving, and she quickly disguised herself from the moment the story unfolded.

What's this called? By the way, it's called Touching the Scenery.The memory of the previous life is still so fresh to Amanda, whether it is the shameful brand branded on her chest; or she watched the phantom's unilateral plunder and finally hated to give up Christine; and then she ordered Chasing her coachman, knocking Phantom down; then begins the chase with Erik.

Amanda never told Eric that she was truly thrilled when he built the spiraling staircase into the abyss in his subterranean kingdom.She yearns for darkness, longs for sinking, and is destined to be different and shocking, but Phantom doesn't care much, he is crazy and flamboyant, and this quality in him attracts Amanda.

Amanda was starting to miss it.

Whenever this time Amanda began to thank the original Amanda, "The Phantom of the Opera" is her favorite opera.Amanda thought, maybe this is the original Amanda Hill getting resonance from the phantom, hopeless love and so on.

Amanda turned her attention back to the opera in a delicate mood. As she knew, Christine gave up the Phantom and chose Viscount Lauer, leaving the Phantom alone in his dark kingdom.

Amanda heard Christine sing to the phantom: "Sad dark creature, you know what life is!" After Viscount Ernest got married, she never appeared on the stage of an opera again. Instead, she watched an opera as the Viscountess and became an ordinary member of Parisian high society.In the end, who is more pathetic and who understands life better?

Amanda is not so clear about the following things. After staying in Paris for a few years, she and Eric set off for America. Even after returning to Paris after a few years, she did not deliberately ask about Christine thing.

The end of the opera is just like it used to be, only without the backstory.

"Amanda, I think you need this." Hannibal handed him his handkerchief, and Amanda realized that she had burst into tears at some point.She was surprised and wanted to touch her cheek with her hand, but Hannibal held her wrist, and he gently wiped the tears on Amanda's face with a handkerchief.

Amanda's eyes were covered with mist, and she couldn't see Hannibal's face clearly, but it didn't prevent her from thinking maliciously about Hannibal's intention of taking her to see "The Phantom of the Opera".It's impossible for Hannibal to not know that Amanda Hill likes this opera the most, but after she said that she doesn't want to walk alone in place, he took her to watch this opera, and was trying to prove something?

Amanda was annoyed for no reason, she closed her eyes, and the tears that had accumulated in them slid down.Hannibal paused, and then wiped away the tears that dripped down again without haste.

This kind of action was too intimate, the breaths of the two of them began to blend, and they could smell the perfume on each other's body, and there were more other smells.

Hannibal leaned down even more, and he kissed Amanda's delicate red lips.Amanda froze, passively accepting Hannibal's offer at first, and then she tried to respond, tentatively.She could feel Hannibal's breathing hit hard, and the kiss that started with him became more tender, as if they were really a couple.

Finally, they rested their foreheads to calm down.

Amanda murmured: "Is this the so-called body memory?" Amanda began to admire herself. Putting on such a mask and wearing it in front of Hannibal Lecter is not an easy task. thing.But at this moment, Amanda really didn't know what else to say.

As before, Hannibal fingered a strand of her slipping hair affectionately, telling her, "Part of it is, but part of it isn't."

"Really?" Amanda murmured, looking a little dazed and at a loss.Hannibal didn't say anything further, he was waiting for Amanda to respond.

Although there was nothing wrong with the two of them when they walked out of the box, they both knew that something had happened and it was irreversible.

When Amanda got into the car back to the Hill House, she turned around and forgot to take a look at Hannibal.In the dusk, Hannibal seemed to be integrated with his surroundings, standing there with an unshakable posture, Amanda suddenly smiled, and she said to Hannibal: "I look forward to seeing you next time, Hannibal Nibal."

After she finished speaking, she got into the car and leaned on the seat, the smile on Amanda's face faded a little bit.She rubbed her fingers over her lips, which still smelled of Hannibal Lecter from that lingering kiss.

Hehe, actually, this kiss is far less beautiful than it looks.Amanda's hand was on Hannibal's wrist, his pulse was as strong and steady as ever, just like Amanda's own, and it was quite different from what they showed on the surface.

Amanda was sure she was the only one there now, and was tired of being so tepid.

She needs something different.

...It happened on a rainy night, with pouring rain.

Hannibal had already realized his purpose when the FBI director Jack Crawford came to the door, and they started a fierce fight in Hannibal's kitchen, and finally Jack Crawford was knocked down and killed. Locked in cold storage, bleeding profusely, who knows if he'll last long enough to be rescued, probably bled to death, but that doesn't matter what happened to Hannibal.

Hannibal looked very embarrassed, he wiped the bleeding corner of his mouth with his thumb, but strangely he was not nervous, even though he knew that his disguise all along had been seen through, on the contrary he was still calm.

Until the unexpected needle-like pain hit his neck, which was actually an injection, Hannibal only had time to see a touch of pale gold before he became dizzy, but he was very sure who the owner of that touch of pale gold was.After a rare touch of panic, Hannibal felt a sense of excitement that he hadn't seen for a long time, an inappropriate excitement in terms of the current situation.

"Amanda." Hannibal called Amanda's name the first time he woke up, even though he hadn't opened his eyes yet.

"I'm here, Hannibal." Amanda said softly, as if they were just having a peaceful and pleasant conversation, a normal conversation, and not now-it was pouring rain outside, and the raindrops were falling There was a messy sound, and inside, Hannibal's meticulously cared for kitchen and living room became unsightly due to the previous fierce fight, and even the director of the FBI, whose life and death were unknown, was locked in the cold storage.

Finally, Hannibal, he is not the elegant and dignified look he usually shows in front of people, not to mention that he is bleeding from the place where Jack Crawford stabbed him with a kitchen knife, but he is neatly combed. Her hair was also disheveled, and her calm and thin face was not very good-looking.

It must be mentioned that he is now bound to a simple operating table.

"You surprise me, Amanda."

Amanda was sure that Hannibal said this sincerely, and she was still so calm, as if she felt that it was no big deal now.If it were someone else, maybe he would be mad at his insignificant attitude, but Amanda didn't, she blinked, then sighed and said: "I know, I really want you to know, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time.”

"Oh?" Hannibal uttered such an unintelligible monosyllable, and he quickly analyzed the meaning of Amanda's words, and since she appeared in his house by such a coincidence, it meant that she knew more than he thought she would. Knowing more, which included his long-buried secret—although that secret would soon cease to be a secret, given that Jack Crawford was bleeding in his cold storage—suffice it to say she knew earlier than others, or even more.

This realization made Hannibal sigh happily, "Should I ask how you know, honey?"

Amanda leaned over, and she said softly, "I made a deal with the devil, of course, because of you, of course. I gotta say, it tasted good."

"You should have let me know, then we don't have to waste so much time." Hannibal also took off his disguise, no longer covering up his beast hidden under the human skin, and his whole body turned into darkness .

Amanda smiled, not a fake smile, but a sincere smile, and then said: "I want to agree with what you said, and there are still so many pity." Seriously, if the world is just the same as before In the world, Amanda shouldn't have any psychological barriers to attacking Dr. Hannibal Lecter.To be honest, he is a beast covered with an elegant skin, but he also has both noble qualities and brutal nature, elegant and calm.

As a bloodthirsty and elegant gentleman, he appreciates the exquisite beauty endowed by life, and on the premise of being familiar with the basic ethics and institutional essence of society, he transcends these laws that restrict the mediocre public and is condescending.It has to be said that it pales in comparison to the many people who bow their heads to the rules and regulations of modern society.

There was a unparalleled sense of beauty in everything he did, and Amanda naturally appreciated that, found it pleasing to the eye.

But who made it have a premise? Amanda raised her mouth when she thought about it. She picked up her scalpel and said to Hannibal with a frown: "If you remember, I'm the top 5% Perhaps this is the last time I will raise the scalpel." Amanda has entered the family company and has begun to be an excellent heir.

In fact, she didn't want to have any more entanglements with her past self.However, I still chose this way to bid farewell to my past self, which is very responsive, isn't it?

"When did your memory come back, Amanda?"

"You seem pretty sure I won't kill you, Hannibal."

"You won't, Amanda, I'm sure."

"You're right, Hannibal, of course I won't kill you."

"You recovered before we went to see The Phantom of the Opera, didn't you?"

"Hmm, earlier. So, that was a trial?"

"Part of it, dear Amanda, you're a quick learner and I always knew you were smart."

"Should I say thank you for the compliment, dear teacher?"

"If I can't laugh now, I must laugh out loud at this supreme compliment of yours, Amanda."

"Do you think that's a compliment, Hannibal? Given where you're at. Hanging around with the FBI, by the way, is Will okay?"

"Even though I know what you're asking, I'm still a little offended, darling, and I thought it was a rare and memorable alone time for the two of us. By the way, I'm afraid he's all right, given that he's about to reunite Lost myself once."

"Hmm, I can hear the smugness in your tone, Hannibal."

"You seem interested in my seventh rib, Amanda."

"Originally, I was still thinking of removing your seventh rib, who made the heavens not so beautiful."

"is it?"

"perhaps."

The above is their conversation. If you ignore that Amanda cut Hannibal’s chest and directly touched Hannibal’s seventh rib through medical gloves, it is said that God used it to make Eve and cut it from Adam’s body. The rib that came out, and Hannibal hadn't been anesthetized the whole time, it would have been a back and forth, romantic conversation.

In fact, this encounter ignited a passion that was lacking in their previous relationship.It's like compared with the gorgeous and empty slow waltz last time, this time it becomes concise, powerful, passionate and unrestrained.

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Hannibal, for being a better me now."

Amanda stitched up Hannibal's wound in an orderly manner, and said so to Hannibal who was dripping with cold sweat.As for what she'd done to Hannibal's seventh rib, what could she have done, she'd just put a mark on it.

"Goodbye."

Amanda hasn't forgotten that Hannibal has been targeted by the FBI, and they are on their way now, right?Amanda looked at the time, quickly and calmly cleaned up the mess she brought, and Hannibal couldn't hold it anymore and fell into a coma, but the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Then it became clear what happened next, as the popular and respected Hannibal Lecter was revealed as an ogre, FBI Director Jack Crawford was dying, and Baltimore's elite were thrown into a strange atmosphere inside.Of course, this incident also caused quite a stir in the society.

In the end, Hannibal Lecter was imprisoned in a prison for the severely mentally ill.Of course, the prison can't compare with his low-key and luxurious residence and office, but Hannibal is still at ease. He lives in his memory palace, which is an incomparable palace.

Meanwhile, Amanda is on a plane to Europe, where she is about to take over the European division of the Hill Group.

Eight years later, Amanda stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of her office with her arms folded, overlooking the scenery of Florence.The bright sunlight poured in and onto the computer screen on the desk, which was displaying an internal arrest warrant - the global wanted Hannibal Lecter.
