Chapter 16 Stones!
"Is it me?" Hannibal raised his eyebrows...
The dean nodded: "Yes, it's you. Just twenty-five years ago, the time I finally restarted, you came to me, handed me this diary, and told me all this... And the reason why you can still keep your memories after restarting is because you are a cheater. There are two cheaters in this world, one is you, and the other is Will. As the owners of this palace of thinking, you two have not been erased from the initial "big amnesia". This is why Will has made the plan to "wait for old age" from the beginning."
"Haha, okay, this statement can indeed solve all doubts, except for the most important question." After hearing these words, Hannibal smiled slightly: "——That's why I didn't expect this."
The dean was stunned for a moment: "What...what?"
"I mean, why didn't I think about "using old age to get out of this world". Since Will has already thought about it, I should also think about it. So, I don't think I have any reason to test my ideas with suicide. I just need to wait like him."
The dean sighed helplessly: "So, don't you believe me?"
Hannibal looked at the other person with a smile and nodded, "Yes, I don't believe it."
"Sure enough, the person who knows you the most is yourself." The dean said: "But it doesn't matter. 25 years ago, you thought that you wouldn't believe this... So... this diary was written by you myself."
Hannibal frowned. He really didn't expect this news, because if this was the case, all this could be considered a message he left to himself. So he immediately opened the diary, looked at the font on it, and stroked it with his fingers a few strokes. Soon, he realized that these words seemed to be written by himself.
"In order to make the words I said more credible, before you came to see me, you copied my diary in a complete way and told me to bring this diary to you many years later... After that, you committed suicide and started a new cycle because you wanted to find a way faster than Will... As for the reason, it is very simple, because you are different from others in your diet, which makes your body much stronger than normal people. Will has long suffered from mental illness, anorexia, insomnia, neurasthenia, and extremely poor quality of life, so you speculate... Will will die before you! And your temper naturally cannot pin your victory in a situation where you can't say it, and it's even more uncontrollable; Oh, by the way, in order to dispel your own concerns, you gave me a task many years ago."
"Task?"
"Yes, mission! It can make you believe in your mission many years ago." As he said that, the dean took out a box from under his desk and pushed it in front of Hannibal.
Hannibal hesitated for a moment and opened the box. In the box, there were piles of small paper notes. These small paper notes were neatly arranged, and some larger ones were even bound together.
"You have given me the task of collecting these notes... These notes are the information I have found for decades, the other murderers left to themselves."
"Haha, that is to say, you are the one who steals other people's notes everywhere."
The dean nodded: "Yes, it's me, and the reason I collected these small notes is because you know that you will not believe anyone's words after a few reincarnations, so now, I will give you these, and whether all this is true or false is entirely up to you."
Hannibal smiled and began to read the small notes one by one. With his reading speed, he quickly integrated the information and compiled it together.
At that time, a huge process that lasted for decades would be truly presented to Hannibal - what he had to admit was that at this moment, he concluded that... all of this was indeed true.
Hannibal put down all the notes and notes, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It took a long time.
"Ha, okay, although I'm reluctant to admit it, but, as you said before, the person who knows me the most is of course myself. He knew back then that I would definitely guess the same result as him."
The dean nodded: "Of course you will, for so many years, every time you restart, you will take a huge step forward. In fact, I believe that even if I don't tell you all this, within a week, you will find out all this, and then, you will definitely test the world's judging criteria for [suicide] again...even if Will lives for a while, you can really defeat him... It's a pity... he is still one step faster."
Hannibal smiled: "No one can stop the pace of time, so... let's go back to the initial question... your deal."
The dean exhaled deeply, as if he had put all his wealth and life on a bet, and then... he took out a gun.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Hannibal looked at the muzzle pointing at his black hole, and was silent first, and then suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha——It's really interesting, is this your deal?"
The dean still looked serious: "Yes, this is my deal. I will kill you and kill you with my own hands. From the bottom of my heart, I have not been misled at all. And, on the basis of knowing the rules of this world, I willingly let you win, and the true sense of [hoshokill]."
Hannibal raised his legs and leaned himself comfortably on the back of the sofa: "Haha, I really didn't expect this. Over the years, no murderer in this hospital wanted to kill another person when he learned that he really wanted to kill him. They didn't even have time to save others... So, what do you want? Lord Dean?"
"I want you to kill me after you go out, kill me completely, eliminate personality, and be able to completely control the palace of thinking after you die. You should be able to do this easily, right!"
"Of course, but...why is this?"
"Of course it's because I don't want to exist anymore. This kind of ghost-like existence has no beginning or end. It just exists as a person's incomplete personality and can only accept the mercy. This feeling is tens of thousands of times more cruel than death, so..."
"So you want to completely disappear?"
The dean nodded, and a little light seemed to burst out in his eyes: "Yes, as long as you promise me, I will send you out immediately. As long as I pull the trigger, you will be the winner."
Hannibal still smiled. He did not give the dean's answer, but asked a strange question himself: "Do you know the game of scissors and stone cloth?"
The dean was stunned: "Scissors and stone cloth? What stupid things are you saying?"
Hannibal looked at him calmly... "Scissors and Stone Cloth is a very simple game because it only has three options, and the victory of this game is almost all based on luck. However, before the game starts, one person says to another... I want to give out the stone, haha, then the game suddenly becomes interesting."
The dean was completely confused. He had no idea why Hannibal told him this, so he shouted anxiously: "I don't have the heart to listen to your rules of the game, Will is going to die. If he goes out, we will be trapped here and completely obey his mercy! It will never be restored!"
Hannibal smiled, his lips slightly raised, looking very graceful.
