Chapter 46: The Ogre Landlord (15)
Hannibal saw that Duan was constantly dispelling his worries, and began his own narration: "As you can see, my collection here is your human brains, which are placed in glass containers filled with embalming. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"You look at these complete brains, look at these clear veins, look at these frontal lobe brains, parietal lobe brains, temporal lobe brains and occipital lobe brains, how amazing. At the same time, I have a large collection in stock here, and such a huge inventory is not something that can be done in a short period of time. β
Duan kept hearing Hannibal proud of the number of his collections, looking at the tens of thousands of containers in this room, but he couldn't help but say mockingly: "Heh, you are really honest, you don't exaggerate the number of these things at all. β
Hannibal continued his introduction unimpressedly: "As you can see, it is not enough for me to collect so much of my collection from your earth, because it is only one of my many rooms. β
"In my long years, I have made a collection of human brains from different eras, and the energy I have spent is unimaginable."
"Is it possible that I will award you a prize for the Ten Demons of Hell, or the Most Industrious Award in Hell." Duan Zhen really couldn't help but complain about this guy, because he really couldn't stand this guy's salesman-style speech.
Hannibal did not ignore Duan Constant's ridicule, but said: "Mr. Duan Constant, I hope you can be more serious when listening to others, don't you know that it is very rude to interrupt others?" β
Duan kept spreading his hands, he didn't expect that one day he would be criticized by a demon for not being polite, which was really embarrassing.
Hannibal saw that Duan Zheng finally straightened his posture, and began his introduction again: "These brains in my collection are not just an era, in other words, I have collected human brains from different periods in the history of human evolution. β
Duan Zheng was really surprised at this moment, he really couldn't help but sigh, the life of demons, you must know that the origin of human beings can be traced back to 30 million years ago, is it possible that this guy has a lifespan of 30 million years, you must know that ordinary demons are only more than 1,000 years.
Hannibal caught a glimpse of Duan Constant Gaze, as if he had thought of something: "You must be surprised at my age!" But unfortunately, I'm not as old as you think, and I've only recently celebrated my 8,215th birthday. β
Duan was also quite surprised when he heard what Hannibal said, because this guy was more than eight thousand years old, and he was much more powerful than ordinary demons.
But then a question came to mind: "You said that you are more than 8,000 years old this year, but you just said that you have a collection of human brains from different periods, doesn't that seem contradictory?" β
Hannibal was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "You're really wrong to think like this, I've already said that I have a collection of human brains from different periods and different planets, and different planets have different levels of civilization, so there's nothing wrong with that!" β
"Oh!"
Hearing Hannibal's explanation, Duan Jian finally figured out that the human brains collected by this guy were collected on different planets, and human beings were also born on some planets with similar climates to the earth, but the civilization of these humans was developed at different levels.
Thinking about it this way, even if Hannibal collects it, there is nothing strange about the ape-man brain tens of millions of years ago, maybe there is a primitive ape-man on a certain planet on the earth.
However, Duan Ji seemed to have discovered something wrong: "Don't you demons all believe that everything in the universe was founded by Satan?" But if you say this, you have found human beings in different periods on other planets, so won't your Satanic creationism be self-defeating? β
"Huh?"
Hannibal was really stunned at this moment: "You can even think of this, you are really worthy of Edgar Allan Poe's favorite, I am afraid I can't give you an answer to this, but it is certain that the possibility of Satan's existence is much higher than the possibility of non-existence." β
Duan did not speak, but the question on his face was clearly there, it seemed that a student who was listening carefully had found a difficult problem and was waiting for the teacher to solve it.
Hannibal also saw Duan's growing thirst for knowledge, and he also gave a surprising answer: "I know that such a simple statement is not enough to prove anything, everything must be based on the existence of evidence, which is true and powerful." β
"However, sometimes the truth is so pale, maybe the answer given is so weak that it is not worth scrutinizing, but this is the existence of the truth, whether you don't admit it, whether you refute it, these are not important, the important thing is that everyone says so."
Duan Zheng obviously did not, persuaded by such a truth, he could find a hundred reasons to refute Hannibal, because all the pale narration could not make him obey, but Hannibal did not mean to make him believe it.
"Whatever you want! It doesn't matter if the universe was created by a demon or being, or whether it came into being on its own, there are all kinds of controversies, and our purpose is not to resolve these disputes. β
Hannibal looked at Duan Zhuzhi and said like a persuasive elder, "What we need now is not to solve these things, but to quietly appreciate my collection and listen to my stories, which I think you should understand." β
Duan kept hearing this, and immediately understood something, and stopped interfering with Hannibal's musings, quietly being a listener.
"Many years ago, when I was a young demon, the demons still used humans as food, and although humans are also the favorite food of demons now, it is more important to obtain the seven original sins of humans."
"At that time, I really loved the taste of human beings, and this delicious taste also stimulated me to explore the idea of human beings, so to speak, I know the structure of the human body better than any of you humans."
"Because, these thousands of years of research have taught me a lot, and I have such a large collection, but unfortunately, I have never been able to find someone to share."
"The demons of that time were brutal and ignorant, they did not appreciate human brains at all, but only rudely devoured human flesh and blood, until the FΓΌhrer established this series of laws, and no one could share it with me."
Speaking of which, Hannibal seems to be extremely sad, like a child, with a lot of toys, trying to find someone to share with, but feeling powerless.
"Until that day, I met a human being, she is a female human being, that is, the woman in your human race, this is a woman who is different from other human beings, she is like a lamb, helpless, but with an indomitable nature that is different from other people."

Duan kept listening to Hannibal say a lot, but he didn't know what to say, whether he was feeling sorry for this lonely demon, or whether he should hate the cruelty of this demon, and collect his own kind as a specimen, or even as a capital to show off.
If he had the strength to destroy all of this, then he would definitely destroy them without hesitation, and then crumple this demon into slag, but after that?
What can he get after this, maybe he can also use these as his own capital to show off, but what is the difference between him and this demon at that time!
