In this darkness, there is no concept of time at all.

I don't know how long it took......

Hannibal finally opened his eyes.

This is a ward, but the supporting medical equipment is a little simpler.

There were a few simple hospital beds, there was not even a monitor next to the bed, there were still the most rudimentary lamps overhead, the wires were exposed, and there were a few traces of water leakage on the walls.

Hannibal shook his drowsy head, and he lowered his head to find himself wearing a crumpled hospital gown.

...... He suddenly remembered something, quickly sat up, looked at his hands, and immediately touched his face, and sure enough, the abrupt and distinct facial outline told him that he was still in that body.

That is, their own plan failed.

Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open...... A nurse walked in. She saw Hannibal sitting on the hospital bed, slightly stunned.

"Are you awake?" She asked, surprised.

Hannibal seemed to have heard it, but he couldn't remember where for a moment.

"Who are you?" He asked as he pleased.

"My name is Harry. Quinn is a nurse at this hospital. The woman said.

Hannibal rubbed his head: "How did I end up here?" ”

Quinn shrugged: "We saved you when you were dying......"

"We?"

"Yes, me, Ziliang, and Old Joey...... Of course, old Joey didn't do much, he just waited, I think he was to see if you could get it back, if not...... He might just carry you away. ”

"Why did you carry me?" Hannibal asked, confused.

"Chopped up as fodder, of course, though Pego doesn't eat the shards of sin...... But a mutilated shard of sin like yours is hard to come across, and he'll definitely want to carry it back and try it. ”

Harry. Quinn said smugly. Hannibal listened to these words, which he did not understand, and could not sort out the whole story.

[Harry. Quinn]? What is this strange name? And who is Old Joey? Pego? Fodder? What is this?

Hannibal felt that the nurse had not given him any answers at all, but had thrown himself more questions.

But...... He can finally remember the name [Ziliang].

At the same time, he also recalled the cracked earth, the lava in the sky, and the bloody figure between the heaven and the earth, and this moment of the scene made Hannibal's body tense inexplicably.

"Well, I know you have a lot of questions." Harry. Quinn's voice interrupted Hannibal's recollections: "Not long ago, I was about the same as you, so you should go and see Ziliang, he can give you a lot of answers...... Of course, accepting his answer is not an easy task. ”

Quinn smiled, then motioned with her eyes for Hannibal to follow her.

......

......

Soon, Harry. Quinn took Hannibal to Ziliang's office.

The first second he pushed the door open, Hannibal froze.

He is a very meticulous person, so he has never seen such a messy room, in his eyes, this place is no better than a garbage heap, the smell of smoke in the room and cigarette butts on the ground, so that he stood outside the door and hesitated for a long time before walking in.

At this moment, Ziliang was spread out on the sofa chair, with a notebook with a black cover on his face, and there was a snoring sound from under the notebook. Until Harry. Quinn knocked on the door angrily, and he woke up with a thrill.

"Uh......" He sat up straight, then stared at Hannibal standing in front of him, and after a few seconds, finally reacted: "Well, you woke up 3 days earlier than expected...... (wiping saliva)"

"What the hell is going on?" Hannibal asked straight to the point.

"Ah, that's a long story." Ziliang pointed to the chair opposite the work, motioned for Hannibal to sit and said.

"I'll just be standing......" Hannibal replied faintly.

"Okay." Ziliang leaned back in his chair: "To put it simply, your plan was a little bit out of the way, which caused you to almost die." ”

Hannibal didn't speak, just quietly waited for Ziliang to continue.

"Actually, your plan is perfect, you've been preparing for this day for a long time, and I guess it's part of your plan to even get caught yourself...... However, you didn't expect that on the eve of the realization of the plan, an unpredictable situation occurred, and that was my appearance......

Will is a very gifted person, and he is able to completely store all the profiled personality in his own conscious world, you should know this very well, right, after all, this ability is specially cultivated by you.

And the surprise I just said...... It was the first time Will saw me, he profiled me.

Yes, yes, I know it doesn't make sense to profile a guy we've just met, but Will is a very smart guy.

Maybe you didn't expect that the first person to notice that I was a little different from normal people was not you, but Will...... He was in this room and sitting in this chair...... The first time he and I made eye contact, he was already profiled about me.

It's just that he didn't come up with any conclusions...... Because his substitution ability is only an imitation after all, and he cannot break through to a deeper spiritual level. So, Will only saw the image of a doctor.

But...... You are different, your understanding of the human psyche has gone beyond 'psychology' in the normal sense, so when you want to use Will to fuse your personality together, you inevitably run into a little bit of me...... That is, the projection of me that remained in his spiritual world after Will wrote about me.

And you...... It should have seen through that trace of projection, and saw through those things that Will couldn't understand.

I remember saying that there is a price to be paid to enter my spiritual world...... Of course, this is not a joke, everything in this world is prescribed what it should be able to see, just like a fish can only see simple geometric shapes, the world of mosquitoes is full of flowing sweet blood, the world of mice has no color, and humans can only see the most superficial light, so that our vision stays on a simple canvas.

But if you puncture the canvas and see something on the other side of the canvas, like the world I see......

And what your price ...... It's life. ”
