Chapter 249

[Tobias delivered himself to his door!]

[No need to trouble Will and the others now, Hannibal solved it all by himself!]

[Who would have thought a serial killer would be captured by a psychiatrist!]

Not long after,

during a break,

Hannibal notified the police.

Countless officers began investigating the scene.

Will and Jack soon arrived at the scene upon hearing the news.

Looking at Hannibal's bruised face and the chaos of the scene,

"Tobias killed two Baltimore police officers and almost killed an FBI agent, yet his first stop after killing was here."

Jack looked directly at Hannibal, saying with suspicion,

"Your office."

"He came to kill my patient."

Hannibal remained calm in the face of Jack's suspicion.

He had already prepared his wording.

He looked at Franklin's corpse on the floor.

"Is your patient the one who listened to Tobias play the serenade?"

"I don't know, Franklin didn't tell me all his secrets."

Hannibal said, half-truthfully.

His face showed a timely expression of confusion and bewilderment,

"He was just trying to persuade Tobias to stop killing, then Tobias snapped his neck and immediately attacked me."

"You killed him?"

"Yes."

Hannibal nodded as if still shaken.

He appropriately displayed the demeanor of someone who had narrowly escaped death.

Jack nodded as well,

accepting Hannibal's explanation.

Will continued to ask,

"Was Franklin involved in Tobias's murders?"

"I had assumed he simply chose his friends poorly."

Hannibal said with regret, bowing his head slightly.

Will felt a sense of guilt.

He stepped forward and apologized proactively,

"I'm sorry, I feel like I've dragged you into the mire as well."

As they spoke,

the two exchanged a smile.

Clearly,

Hannibal had by now completely gained Will's trust.

He had even caused the latter to feel a profound sense of guilt,

believing that Hannibal, an innocent party, should never have been involved in so many homicides.

It was inherently unfair to him.

Will had already been quite critical of these brutal criminals and cases.

Now, Hannibal had been dragged into it as an unrelated bystander.

Unconsciously,

Will's resentment toward Jack grew a little deeper in his heart.

Happy New Year to everyone in the new year!!! May all your wishes come true!!!

There was an error when uploading the previous chapters!! I will contact the editor to fix it after the New Year!! I apologize for the trouble caused to everyone!!! Deepest apologies!!!!.

[What... what is going on?!]

[Tobias finished killing people... and actually ran to Hannibal's place?!]

[Could it be that he found out Hannibal betrayed him??]

[That shouldn't be!]

[Who knows...]

[Maybe he just wanted to catch up??]

[Or perhaps... he came to kill Hannibal??]

[I didn't expect him to run straight into Franklin...]

[Now he probably knows....]

[This is too bold, isn't it?? He killed two police officers and still has the nerve to come find Hannibal....]

[Is killing as simple as eating and drinking to him...]

[He clearly doesn't take the police seriously at all!!]

[It seems the foreign police aren't very effective...]

[With so many psychopaths and ineffective police....]

[What a dire situation!]

Just as countless viewers watched in astonishment,

Tobias's figure appeared at the doorway.

A large chunk of his right ear was missing! Blood was dripping everywhere!

It was the exact wound from the shot Will had fired earlier!

Yet Tobias seemed completely indifferent to this injury.

He had come to find Hannibal without even attempting to stop the bleeding.

"Tobias!"

Franklin stood up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief and shock.

There was also a hint of panic at having his conversation interrupted.

Tobias stepped forward and said,

"I've come to say goodbye, Franklin."

"What do you mean by goodbye??"

Franklin asked subconsciously.

Before the latter could answer, Franklin saw the ear in Tobias's hand and the large, shocking bloodstains!

"My God... is that your blood??"

"I just killed two people, and the police came to question me about the murders."

Tobias recounted the events that had just occurred with extreme indifference.

There wasn't even a trace of panic on his face.

His tone was full of calm and a sense of justification.

He was as calm as if he were describing what he had just eaten!

It was as if he were sharing a trivial matter.

Opposite him,

Hannibal's expression remained as usual, calm as always.

But Franklin was unable to process it.

It took him a long time to realize what Tobias was saying.

He stammered,

"Then you must turn yourself in immediately!"

As he spoke,

Franklin finally thought of the philosophy he wanted to express,

"The situation is out of control, don't make things worse!"

"You still have a chance for rebirth! Everyone has a chance to turn over a new leaf!"

The naive Franklin began to earnestly persuade Tobias.

His words were full of sincerity.

And from his perspective,

this was indeed Franklin's true inner thought.

He truly wanted to persuade Tobias to turn himself in and turn over a new leaf!

On the side,

Hannibal interrupted him,

"Franklin, I want you to leave immediately."

"Stay right there, Franklin."

Before Hannibal could finish, Tobias retorted in a low voice.

Franklin looked at the two of them, seemingly confused.

But he quickly figured it out, or rather, he misunderstood.

At this moment, he mistakenly thought Hannibal wanted him to leave quickly, as Tobias had just revealed he had killed people and was an extremely dangerous individual.

But Franklin still wanted to make one last effort, hoping Tobias would change his mind.

"You did a terrible thing, I know, you wish you hadn't done it, but you did."

"You can't change the facts, but the only thing you can change is your future life."

"Maybe you're just scared, maybe you feel all alone."

At this point,

Franklin's face was filled with emotion.

Tobias stepped forward solemnly and retorted,

"I am not alone."

As he spoke,

he looked vaguely in Hannibal's direction.

The meaning was clear: he was implying that Hannibal was his kind.

But Franklin misunderstood again.

"You're right, you're not alone! Everything that has happened between us... we can..."

As Franklin spoke,

Hannibal stepped forward silently.

He reached out, grabbed Franklin's chin and the top of his head, applied force with both hands, and twisted.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of bone snapping!

Franklin's body collapsed limply to the ground!

In an instant, every viewer was shocked!

!!

Hannibal.

Had actually killed Franklin without any warning?!

There was not a hint of hesitation in his movements!

He didn't even look like he was thinking!

Right in the middle of Franklin's sentence! He brought it to an abrupt end!

[Holy crap!!! This technique! It was so clean and efficient!!]

[Why did he do that???]

[Why did he have to kill him??!]

[So scary! There was no warning at all!!]

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

[What is Hannibal doing....]

[This Franklin talked too much! I guess Hannibal didn't want Tobias to keep talking to him!]

[Right! If he kept talking, he would have let something slip! Better to just get rid of this trouble!]

[If that's the case, then Tobias has to die too!]

[Franklin never expected until his death... that the most dangerous person wasn't Tobias, but Hannibal!!]

[There were three people in total, who would have thought two of them were psychopathic killers!]

[This technique..... truly worthy of the Ripper!]

[Not a single fluctuation of emotion appeared!]

In front of him,

Tobias watched Hannibal's actions.

There was surprise on his face, but no panic!

"You finally made your move."

"I helped you get rid of a nuisance."

Hannibal looked up and said politely.

Seeing this, Tobias said no more and threw his suit jacket aside.

The sharp piano wire in his palm hung down, faintly stained with Will's blood.

Without any declaration of war or preamble,

Tobias swung the sharp wire and closed in on Hannibal!

And in a tacit understanding,

the battle between the two psychopathic killers

was triggered just like that!

Hannibal nimbly dodged the opponent's attacks,

occasionally countering with fierce strikes!

However, limited by the opponent's weapon,

Tobias was faintly gaining the upper hand for a moment!

Even though Tobias and Hannibal were socialites with high status and great refinement,

they displayed immense combat ability at this moment!

Finally, after several probing attacks,

Hannibal successfully closed the distance at the cost of his left hand being torn open!

He immediately jammed one of Tobias's arms into the nearby staircase railing!

Then, he cleanly snapped Tobias's arm!

While the opponent struggled to fight back,

a precise hand strike landed on the latter's throat!
