Chapter 233

At this moment for him.

Perhaps there were few people in the world who could fit his friend and partner as perfectly as Hannibal!

Everything about Hannibal!

Made Tobias feel amazed and perfect!

Hannibal was the peer and partner he imagined!

People like them, with deeply twisted spirits, rarely have peers who can understand them.

Or rather.

They look at ordinary people and no longer regard them as their peers.

In their perspective.

They themselves are gods above ordinary humans!

[No wonder.... this Tobias wouldn't mind the trouble....]

[People like them must be very lonely, right?!]

[So Tobias probably regarded Hannibal as someone who might become a soulmate in the future??]

[Hard to understand their thoughts...]

[If you can understand the thoughts of a psychopath, then you're not far from being a psychopath yourself]

[How will Hannibal respond?]

[..............................]

[Hannibal must be very lonely too, right??]

[I don't like this Tobias]

[Hannibal gives me a more elegant and peaceful feeling!]

[For them, meeting a peer is not easy!]

[But, I feel like Hannibal has already regarded Will as his soulmate, right?]

[But Will is a police officer!]

[If Will knew what Hannibal had done, would he still be his friend?]

Speculation in the live broadcast room.

But in the end, it was hard to fathom Hannibal's thoughts.

After all, people like Hannibal have thinking that is worlds apart from ordinary people, and the viewers are not psychopaths.

And under the eyes of all the viewers.

In Tobias's expectant gaze.

Hannibal turned to look at Tobias.

"I understand your thoughts very well, but I don't want to be your friend"

Suddenly!

All the viewers were stunned!

And even Tobias didn't expect.

Hannibal would say this!

Even though he was prepared to be rejected by Hannibal!

But he didn't expect Hannibal to say it so directly to his face!

Immediately, Tobias was also a bit anxious.

"Then why did you invite me to dinner? Not just to change the strings on your harpsichord, right?"

Tobias's tone carried lingering confusion and disappointment.

"I originally wanted to kill you."

But Hannibal's words made everyone shocked again!

How similar this was to Tobias's initial thoughts?!

These two psychopathic serial killers facing each other right now.

Both had the idea of putting the other to death!

Tobias gave up this idea when he discovered that Hannibal was his peer.

Turning to want to be friends with Hannibal.

But Hannibal was different!

He knew from the beginning that Tobias was a murderer! A psychopath!

And his idea of wanting to kill Tobias hadn't changed!

Hearing what Hannibal said.

Tobias's face also changed slightly.

Subconsciously looking at the food he had just eaten on the table!

Hannibal also saw what the other party was thinking.

"I didn't poison you, Tobias; I wouldn't treat food that way"

Hannibal's tone was very sincere.

But Tobias couldn't figure out Hannibal's attitude for a moment.

It's just that the viewers in front of the screen knew Hannibal better than Tobias did.

This sentence of his... should not be a lie....

Hannibal's emphasis on food.

I'm afraid it's really as he said himself!

In Hannibal's view.

The importance of food is far more important than killing Tobias!

At least for Hannibal, food is sacred!

And while the two were in a stalemate.

A doorbell rang.

"Are you expecting other guests?"

"No."

Hannibal shook his head and turned to walk towards the door.

And Tobias walked to the balcony tacitly.

The wind and snow outside were getting heavier.

As Hannibal opened the door.

Will shook the snow off his body, excitedly saying to Hannibal.

"I kissed Alana."

"Please come in."

Hannibal simply said 'wow' to echo him, and then welcomed Will in.

It seemed he wasn't worried at all that Tobias, who was just dining, would be discovered.

"Do you have guests?"

Will looked at the food on the table.

"A colleague, he just left because of an emergency."

"Didn't even finish dinner?"

"He received an emergency call and had to deal with it immediately."

Hannibal's tone had no panic at all.

Calm, with confidence and indifference that could convince everyone.

"You’ve come at the perfect time; I’ve prepared dessert for two."

As he spoke,

Hannibal walked toward the oven with effortless naturalness.

He drew Will’s attention elsewhere as well.

"Tell me, how did Alana react at the time?"

"She said she wasn't right for me, and I wasn't right for her..."

"I quite agree. She believes that observing you is an obligation within her field of study, and that you would come to resent her for it."

Faced with Will’s dejection,

Hannibal did not shy away from anything.

He spoke bluntly, laying everything bare.

Alana was also acting as a counselor for Will’s psychological issues.

In the long run, this would inevitably provoke Will’s resentment.

"I want to know why you kissed her then, and why you drove an hour just to come tell me about it."

"Ever since I met her, I’ve wanted to kiss her. Her lips are very alluring."

Will said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Although he and Hannibal could talk about anything now,

intimate topics regarding emotions still made Will feel a slight sense of unease.

"You held back for so long before; that suggests there must have been another reason that pushed you."

"I heard an animal trapped in my chimney. I broke through the wall, but there was nothing inside."

Will recalled what had happened today.

Jolted awake from a nightmare, he had even begun to experience auditory hallucinations.

He heard what sounded like an animal trapped in the chimney.

At this point,

Will was somewhat hesitant, his thoughts in chaos.

"Alana appeared. She looked at me, and her expression seemed different—I can’t quite explain it, but she knew..."

"She knew what, Will?"

"There was no animal in the chimney. It only existed in my mind... I sleepwalk... I have headaches... auditory hallucinations... emotional instability..."

"So you kissed her, attempting to maintain emotional equilibrium?"

Hannibal precisely articulated the logic behind Will’s subconscious behavior and continued his analysis.

"You said yourself that your work is not good for you."

"Unfortunately, this work requires me..."

"When you close your eyes, can you still hear the killer playing a serenade?"

"It’s a duet we’re playing."

Finally, Will said the truth with a bitter smile.

The progression of his illness was far more severe than he had imagined.

The music played by the killer in his mind had never been composed by the killer alone.

It had become a shared thought between Will and the killer.

And this,

he had hidden from Hannibal from the very beginning.

But with increasingly severe auditory hallucinations appearing,

Will could no longer continue to hide the progression of his condition.

Confessing to Hannibal could be considered unburdening his heart.

Hearing this, Hannibal’s face grew somewhat grave.

He handed the dessert in his hand to Will, then said with a heavy tone,

"I have been hesitating whether to tell you, because doing so violates the doctor-patient confidentiality agreement."

"Today, a patient told me he suspects one of his friends might be involved in the symphony orchestra murders."

Suddenly,

all the viewers were shocked!

Hannibal is...

selling Tobias out?!

Is he going to let Will arrest Tobias??

But... isn't he afraid that once Tobias is caught, he will implicate him too??

For a moment,

countless viewers were utterly stunned.

What kind of confidence is this??

[This... what is Hannibal thinking??]

[Hannibal talking to Will before the evening is understandable, maybe he's giving Will a gift, but he clearly already knows that Tobias saw him kill someone!]

[Exactly!! Isn't Hannibal afraid that Tobias will expose him after being caught??]

[This... is Hannibal just incredibly bold?!]

[Hannibal is being a bit too good to Will...]

[This kind of thing... on one hand is his own kind, on the other is Will, and Hannibal didn't hesitate at all!]

[Tobias would never dream that in the time it takes to eat a meal, he’d be sold out by Hannibal...]

[Tobias: ???]

[Pay attention, this man is named Xiao Shuai, he is a chef.]

[But Hannibal has indeed contributed quite a bit to helping the police solve cases!]

[Who says otherwise? Many clues were provided by Hannibal.]

Happy New Year to everyone!!! May all your wishes come true!!!

Chapter 287: Food is Sacred!

No wonder!

This Tobias... would always try every possible way to get close to Hannibal!

And no wonder!

This psychopathic killer would even want to kill his own boyfriend!!

Yet he didn't hesitate to expose his own modus operandi and thought process! He risked exposure just to pass a message to Hannibal!

You have to know,

this was risking the huge danger of being targeted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation!

It was practically dancing on the edge of a blade!

And Tobias’s goal...

was merely to attract Hannibal’s attention!

Or rather!

To get close to Hannibal!

And this... how could it not be shocking!

For a moment,

all the viewers gained a brand new understanding of Tobias’s madness and obsession!

What kind of perverted criminal must he be to never give up until his goal is reached?!
