"have no idea."
"Micah hides very deeply."
"I was curious about it, but I didn't go into it because of their stable transportation of 'ingredients'."
"However, I know several of their contact points and two secret bases."
Hannibal replied.
Jason was not surprised by this answer.
If Micah was so easy to catch, Edward wouldn't be helpless.
Likewise, Hannibal wouldn't deserve to be called a 'predator' if he didn't prepare for anything.
Jason was quite sure that when he met Dadas, Hannibal guessed what that Micah was going to do.
In fact, it is.
In the next moment, Hannibal said:
"Mika should want to create chaos, not only Xinde City, but also 'St. Mungo's College'."
"After all, the graduates there are all elites."
"Destroy these elites, and the future of Xinde City will be gone."
"Um."
Jason nodded, agreeing with this statement.
Then, Jason continued to ask.
"During the 'Battle of Decheng', the 'Ghost Squad''s mutiny was due to those weird phenomena?"
"no!"
Hannibal shook his head very positively.
He explained to Jason:
"The 'Battle of Decheng Defense' took place during the 'Thirty-Three-Day Protracted War'. The anomalies at that time all appeared on the frontal battlefield, and the nearby battlefield was very calm."
"It should be earlier."
"or… "
"Something else, who knows?"
"The 'Silver Federation' is far from being as noble and great as they claim."
Saying that, Hannibal sneered.
Jason subconsciously thought of Congressman David.
Not to mention Decheng.
Even Xinde City, has it really changed
Jason thought, putting his elbows on his knees.
"What do you think of 'food'?"
"Are they related to 'weird'?"
"still… "
"Have they existed since ancient times?"
Jason asked.
After finally getting in touch with a person who truly 'knows about food' and has a friendly attitude, Jason naturally needs to ask clearly.
"They have existed since ancient times!"
"However, it's better to hide now!"
"Their numbers have plummeted since the advent of gunpowder, but..."
"Those 'weird' appearances have caused their number to surge again."
"In my past hunts, after a huge phantom appeared in the 'Lanqiao Blocking Battle' in October PY81, the amount of these 'food' doubled. In the past, it took a long time to find a trace. , and after the 'Siege of Sheldon' in June PY84, these 'foods' began to mix into the city."
Hannibal did not disappoint Jason, and told Jason the answer he most wanted to know.
"Hiding in the city, blending in with the crowd?"
Jason whispered to himself.
"Yes."
"They show up in ways that ordinary people don't understand."
"But most of them love blood, fear, and death."
"So, there are traces to follow."
"And their hobbies make them powerful, and make them crazy—unlike the 'food' I hunted in the first place, I think they're influenced by 'weird'."
Hannibal said.
"What about the mysterious side?"
"Does Xinde City have a mysterious side?"
Jason asked expectantly.
However, this time Hannibal shook his head.
"No."
"It's not just Xinde City that doesn't have it."
"The entire 'Silver Federation' also lacks any records about the mysterious side—I think someone deliberately erased these, and the senior management of the 'Silver Federation' has always been good at such things."
"The same goes for 'Blackstone Alliance'."
There was obvious sarcasm and mockery on Hannibal's face.
Jason didn't have any objection to this.
He's seen it before, hasn't he
Threats to oneself, cannot be used, will be destroyed.
What's more, the rise of gunpowder is the most direct blow to the 'mysterious side'.
Afterwards, Jason and Hannibal chatted happily.
Or rather, communicate.
The two sides had an in-depth exchange on how to hunt 'food'.
"I've found some traces of 'food' now."
"They are much smarter than before, but there must be traces when they walk."
"Would you like to come and see?"
Hannibal sent an invitation to Jason.
"good."
Jason nodded immediately.
For 'food' and 'food' related things, Jason will not refuse most of them.
The two walked towards the bedroom.
Different from other bedrooms.
In Hannibal's bedroom, apart from a bed, there are photos, clipped newspapers and many records hanging on the walls.
With a glance, Jason saw the reports that had been published in the newspaper: "The Ripper at Night" and "Echoes of the Hanged Man".
However, it is different from the reports in the newspapers.
Hannibal is much more detailed here.
Not just the records of the dead, but the records of the murderers.
The murderer in "The Ripper Under the Night" has some clear records: He is 180-185cm tall, has a strong build, and his dominant hand is left-handed. He has certain fighting skills, is good at using knives, and is used to facing blood. Butchers own their own carriages or cars and live independently in urban areas.
"Are you interested in him?"
Hannibal asked.
"I'm interested in anything 'food'."
Jason said with a smile.
"He's a cunning fellow, and I've been eyeing him for almost six weeks."
"However, he hasn't shown any signs yet."
"These clues are just a rough idea."
"However, much stronger than him."
Hannibal said regretfully, at the same time, he pointed to the wall where "Echo of the Hanged Man" was hung.
Compared to "The Ripper at Night", "Echoes of the Hanged Man" has much less information records here, or even none.
Because, there is only one written here: Should the gender be male
Even if it was just this sentence, Hannibal also wrote a question mark behind it.
"This guy is the most cunning 'food' I have ever seen. There are no clues at the scene, and there is no law in committing the crime. There is no distinction between time and place, and there is no distinction between men, women, and children, except those who were hanged. Apart from death, they basically have nothing in common, and even the gender described here is just my guess."
When Hannibal mentioned this 'food', he was not discouraged, but excited.
So did Jason.
Then, his eyes turned to the wall in the bedroom facing the head of the bed.
Unlike the other walls that are densely packed with clippings, here is only one hand-painted—
A gigantic figure hidden in the mist occupies 90% of the entire painting. Under its feet, countless tiny people are panicked, restless, howling, kneeling, or shooting.
But it didn't work at all.
It just goes forward.
Without any hesitation.
"This is the original huge phantom?"
Jason guessed.
"yes."
Hannibal nodded.
Then, Jason stared at the huge figure for a full ten seconds before he let out a long breath and said:
"How delicious it must be!"
Hannibal, who had been waiting for Jason's answer, immediately smiled.
As expected of the king he swore allegiance to.
Any powerful and weird existence is just a dish in Wang's eyes.
And him
Will cook well.
The two people who shared the same language immediately stood in front of the bed, discussing and guessing about this delicious 'food'.
It wasn't until there was another sneeze outside that Jason had no choice but to say goodbye.
Hannibal had a look of surprise and amazement.
"You want to leave?"
