[British and American Drama] Mental Correction

Chapter 75

Claire was lying on the soft bed. She felt constant dull pain in her body, but she couldn't open her eyes for no reason.

In the quiet darkness, a pair of hands are playing with her hair gently and tenderly, the movements are intimate and gentle, and the fingers passing through the hair seem to leave a human body temperature.

Claire slowly opened her eyes in bewilderment, the glare of the incandescent light made her eyes sting after being exposed to light for a long time, and before she could react, physiological tears had already flowed out of her eyes.

"You're awake~"

Claire quickly opened her eyes.In the shaking field of vision, she finally got used to the light: the person standing one meter away and bending over to look at her was Hannibal!

With the usual calm smile on his face, he looked at Claire with a gentle expression.If it weren't for the pain and weakness in her body that reminded her that everything was real, Claire would almost think that what she had experienced was actually a nightmare.

He watched her.At a very close distance, those ice blue eyes that Claire was so familiar with met her for the first time after many years.The ups and downs in the eyes were completely covered up, under the shadow of the eyelashes, under the shadow of the light flowing through the eyes in the blink of an eye, it seemed that there was a dark light passing by at an extremely fast speed, it looked like... Evil red light.

Claire didn't realize that she trembled for a moment due to fear.

After experiencing the long time in the world of Venus, her determination and hatred for killing Hannibal were virtually wiped out, but this did not allow her to build up goodwill and trust in him again.At this moment, Claire only had confusion in her mind.

"where is this place?"

She asked, while her eyes looked around at a very fast speed.

The air here is slightly humid, the room is cool, and it smells a little earthy.But there was no dirt in the room.It looked clean and tidy. Apart from the bed she was lying on, there were oxygen cylinders connected to her nose and some other medical instruments in the room.

The lights were really bright.But there are no seats and no food, which is very good, which at least shows that Hannibal's time here is very short every time.Regarding the lack of air circulation, the greatest possibility Claire could think of was that she was in the basement of an unknown location.

Hannibal looked at Claire with a smile.He has been wearing this smile since the other party opened his eyes.It looked very kind.

But obviously, such a friendly mask does not mean that he intends to answer Claire's question.

Claire blinked: "Why did you do that?" She was referring to saving her and keeping her here.

Hannibal blinked and threw out another answer: "It's been a year and a half since you were injured~" He frowned to hide his sharp gaze: "Now, you are Claire who disappeared without reason? Miss Victoria."

Then, in Claire's eyes widened in surprise, he smiled and threw out another message: "At the same time, he is also the biggest suspect in the human centipede imitation case that the police are looking for~"

"!" Claire pounced on Hannibal, but her body, which had been bedridden for a long time, was weak and weak, and her legs couldn't support her weight for a while, so she could only fall to the ground in extreme embarrassment.

"What the hell are you talking about?" she demanded, refusing to understand Hannibal's answer.

Hannibal smiled, his cold eyes like a beast locked on the weak prey in front of him.Then he picked up a tower of newspapers from the piled up ground and handed them to Claire.

Claire quickly flipped through the period from October 2003 to January 10, which was the time after her crime... Yes, she was indeed in a coma for a year and a half or even longer as Hannibal said time.

In fact, the inexplicable passage of time did not really hit her. What made Claire feel trembling was the headlines on the newspapers that became more and more terrifying as time went by.

On October X, 2003, the first female body of the [Human Centipede Imitation Case] ​​was found on Baker Street.According to the report, she is a third-tier talk show talent in the entertainment industry. In the first human centipede case in 10, she satirized the scars on the victim's face in the show and on social software.

At the scene of her death, her cheeks were also pierced with needles and threads, and there were also traces of human centipede surgery on her buttocks.

What is different from the victims of the original human centipede case is that the forehead of the deceased was cut out with a blade in a very brutal way [1].And it makes people feel extremely panicked.

And this is just as the reporter guessed, the meaning of this number is "No.1 victim".

In the ensuing year, the police successively searched for nine different corpses, all of whom had spoken ill of the victim in public (or on social software) in the initial case.

Regrettably, the police have never identified the suspect's criminal evidence, and the ten corpses found are not in an orderly arrangement of 1, 2, 3, 4...10.

而是1、2、3、4、6、7、8、11、13、15……这意味着受害人至少有15位！但是他们的尸体又被丢去了哪里？警方甚至连同尸体也未曾找全！

This will undoubtedly be condemned by the people of the United States. American citizens once again have doubts about the safety of the environment in which they live, and at the same time have doubts about the police's ability to enforce the law.

Under such strong pressure, the local police targeted the former victim with the biggest criminal motive in their eyes, the missing Claire Vidor (Sophie Roy) in the absence of sufficient evidence.And a wanted warrant was issued across the United States.

It is precisely because of this that the first thing Claire faced when she opened her eyes was not [how to deal with Harris], [how to deal with Hannibal], [should I go to David]... these things she used to I thought the most intractable and difficult question was...how to face the FBI.

WTF...?Claire raised her head and looked at Dr. Hannibal Lecter who was standing across from her and was observing her with great interest: I really want to kill him.

"Tsk tsk, what a nice look."

Hannibal shook his head and sighed, "But I guess you don't have the energy to meet Harris now." He said with emotion: "I'm actually looking forward to meeting you, you know, until now Harris didn't know you The ones he had [killed]."

"Aren't you curious what he's doing now? Huh?" He smiled.

"Don't you wonder what Harris has become now?"

"Aren't you curious how that affected him?"

"Aren't you curious what he thinks about your disappearance and your being wanted as a serial killer?"

As Hannibal spoke, he approached Claire step by step.His slender fingers strangled Claire's cheek forcefully, forcing Claire to raise her face to face him with a rude movement that didn't match the expression on his face.

However, just when he wanted to continue destroying Claire, this woman who had always made him feel inexplicably kind and curious suddenly shed tears.

The thick fog in those gray eyes was washed away by tears, and they looked extremely clear.

Her lips trembled: "Hannibal, why...do you do this to me."

The very familiar German with a Lithuanian accent came out of her lips, and Claire was looking up at him.Those gray eyes were clearly different from those of people with memory, but for the first time Hannibal took two steps back in embarrassment and majesty.

He was terrified by his own imagination.

He couldn't believe why he had such absurd and ridiculous associations!

However, Claire did not give him a buffer time.She watched Hannibal's sudden panic, and felt extremely happy!

She almost sneered: "You clearly promised mom that you would take good care of me!"

"But you're useless at all—"

"During the famine, I was the one who took you hunting."

"When Ladis Grutas and the others occupied the cabin, I brought you to survive."

"I was the one who gave you the desire [to live] after the war."

"But you didn't do anything from start to finish."

Her smile grew wider, but her eyes were cold and stern, and her gray eyes were extremely cloudy: "You took good care of me and your dear sister Misha Rector, didn't you?"

"She's dead, but look at you, you're going to kill her again after she's reborn."

...Who are you!

Before Hannibal could react, he had already strangled Claire by the throat again. If his hands weren't too trembling, it might really have a deterrent effect.

But his performance was as vulnerable as his heart at this time, allowing Claire to easily see through his inner uncertainty.

She even smiled with aftertaste: "You know what? I don't like your steak at all, but at that time, I thought you would become a chef."

"You are not my brother, you are already [dead] to Misha Lecter."

Hannibal took two steps back.This gentleman who has always been calm and decent looks extremely embarrassed at this moment.There was an unconcealable disbelief on his face that made him look like he was about to break down.

But Claire was unsympathetic.

She slowly pulled out the needle on her body, and stepped on the floor with her bare feet.She tried to stand up.With shaky steps, he walked towards Hannibal little by little.

He also backed away as she approached.

This incident had such a strong impact on Hannibal that he couldn't even imagine how he would face what he had done to Misha if all this was true!

This, Claire, is his Misha?

But he seemed to have believed it in his heart.Those unsolvable answers finally have an answer at this moment.For example, why did Claire call him [Hannibal] as if she was very familiar at the beginning of their acquaintance, for example, the intimacy she accidentally revealed in German when they were chatting, for example, she... once appeared in the old Titanic newspaper figure.

Once this absurd result is accepted, all questions can be answered.

In the end, Claire didn't have much communication with Hannibal.

She ignored him, walked away from his side step by step, and opened the basement door with difficulty.And until Claire left the villa, Hannibal never chased after her.

In front of the villa with the red door, she swayed and looked into the distance, the dazzling sunlight made her feel very dizzy.Claire walked forward step by step.

Until her downfall, Claire had only one thought: She was going to destroy Hannibal.

The author has something to say: wipe your sweat, this chapter is so difficult to write.
