Chapter 4 Dust
Hannibal turned the piece of paper over and found that there was no writing on the back.
"Huh, you wrote this?" He asked with a smile.
Will didn't speak, and he still didn't open his eyes, just like he had just done when he and the dean had just come in.
"To be honest, you're a bit too ostentatious, whether it's a trick or trying to mislead me, or making me think you're going to mislead me and counter-mislead, it's a bit stupid, because I'm not going to make any changes because of this note." Hannibal said to himself.
Of course he will, because this kind of behavior is like saying 'I will get out of the rock' with the other person in front of rock-paper-scissors, which seems to be calculating something, but in fact it is simply a stupid behavior.
However, Will ...... Still didn't speak.
Well, in fact he didn't speak, just lay quietly, and this silence lasted for several hours, until 5 p.m., when Will was supposed to eat.
......
Hannibal opened the cupboard and pulled out a bag of Will's food.
It is said that it is food, in fact, it is just some powder, these powders are completely configured according to the nutrients required by human beings, such as how much VC people need in a day, then take a few VC tablets and throw them into the blender, how many calories and how much sugar are needed in a day, just find some rice and red beans and the like and throw them in, and then buzz and stir into a bag of residues, and when eating, use water and slimy mud to pull it out with a needle, and then put it into the stomach tube.
Hannibal had never done anything like this, but it was so simple that he did it quickly.
"To be honest, I'm not averse to doing these things, if there really is a day when you are old enough to need someone to serve you, and I remain as young as I am now, I would even be happy to be your butler, but if you keep saying nothing like this, then how will our game continue."
Hannibal said, pulling things out and preparing to punch them into Will's stomach tube.
And that's when Will finally spoke...... He said......
"Wait......"
Hannibal's hand stopped in mid-air.
"Hehe, that's right, we have to talk...... So, do you say it first, or do I ask the question first? He laughs, because it's finally a bit of a game to start.
However, to his surprise, Will shook his head.
"Don't mention that game...... It's already over, it's long over? Will said lightly.
"It's over?" Hannibal frowned slightly: "Heh, don't play this little trick, okay, we're not children anymore, we shouldn't have such boring things in our games." ”
Will sighed imperceptibly, he didn't look at Hannibal, but looked out the window: "Don't hit me with these disgusting things, can you?" ”
He said lightly.
Hannibal was slightly stunned: "Oh? Why? ”
"Because they don't deserve to be called food, they give me the feeling of something that has been vomited out of my stomach and injected back into my stomach again, and every time I think about it, I get sick." Will said.
Hannibal raised an eyebrow, and he realized that Will's eyes had been avoided since he took the powder out of the cupboard, and it seemed that he did have a deep aversion to these things.
"You have a point, these things don't even touch your tongue, and of course they can't be called food, and even if they do, it's not a good thing, because I can imagine how horrible they taste......" Hannibal shrugged and said, "But they can give you the energy you need every day, and you have to live, don't you?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Will on the bed turned his head sharply, and the speed made it impossible to tell that he was a seriously ill old man.
"No, I don't have to live, I mean, for an old man like me, it's painful to live even a second longer, so ...... You ......"
He glared......
Hannibal could clearly see the anticipation in his eyes, as well as the bloodshot eyeballs that had become bloodshot as his eyelids opened in transition.
But...... He still didn't say anything after all.
Hannibal was silent for a moment: "You want to say, don't you want me to give you these nutritional powders?" ”
Will nodded, indicating that this was what he meant, and Hannibal could even feel that he was suppressing an inexplicable excitement when he said this.
"Heh, I'm sorry, I can't do this, after all, my job is to take care of you, besides, your physical condition, if you don't eat...... Do you think I might kill you? Hannibal said with a smile, and then, inserting the needle in his hand into the stomach tube, and pushing hard, those yellow-brown disgusting paste went down the stomach tube into Will's stomach.
The anticipation in Will's eyes vanished, and he closed his eyes quietly......
"Okay, don't play with the kids, can you talk about this game now?" Hannibal asked.
Will did not respond...... It's quiet, as if none of this has happened.
......
Time passed minute by minute, and Hannibal thought that there would be some sudden turn, but waited...... It's time to get off work.
"Well, it seems that we didn't get along very well on the first day, but fortunately, we didn't quarrel, so...... See you tomorrow. Hannibal said with a smile, and then left the room.
As soon as he closed the door to the ward, Hannibal's brow furrowed.
It's weird.
In fact, from the first second he entered this hospital, he actually felt strange...... But for a moment, he couldn't tell what was strange.
Didn't see another doctor in a day? But I haven't been out for a day, which seems to make sense.
Doesn't there smell of disinfectant water in the hallway? It's a sanatorium, and it's not a medical institution that accepts patients all year round, so it's normal for the smell to be a little lighter.
Too quiet a hallway?
Noticeably older than the exterior of the facility?
Or is it something else?
Hannibal thought carefully about everything he had seen today, and although everything seemed to be explainable, when these things came together, it magically created a strange thing that made him indescribable.
It's like a stench that fills the edge of your nose, looming, but you can't find where the is.
Just then, Hannibal noticed the door of the hospital room beside him.
As mentioned before, this kind of ward door is a piece of solid wood, probably to protect the privacy of patients, so there is no window or glass, but a large door panel with an L-shaped doorknob on it.
And it was the angle of the doorknob that Hannibal noticed...... Due to its age, its screws are loose, causing it to tilt slightly downward......
This angle was exactly the same as the angle he had seen when he came to this hallway before.
Has the door of this ward not been opened for a day? So, there are no patients in this ward?
Hannibal was puzzled, then walked over to the door and touched the doorknob with his fingers......
Then I was a little surprised to find that there was a layer of ...... on top of it Dust......
