All Worlds Madhouse

"Is it me?" Hannibal raised his eyebrows.

The dean nodded: "Yes, it was you. Just twenty-five years ago, that is, the last time I restarted, you came to me, handed me this diary, and told me All this. And the reason why you can still retain your memory after restarting is because you are a cheater. There are two cheaters in this world, one is you and the other is Will. You two As the owner of this thinking palace, his memory was not erased during the initial 'big amnesia'. This is why Will was able to formulate the plan of 'waiting to grow old' from the beginning."

"Haha, well, this statement can indeed solve all the doubts, except for the most important one." After hearing these words, Hannibal smiled slightly: "——That is, I Why didn’t you think of this?”

The dean was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"I mean, why didn't I think of "using old age to escape from this world"? Since Will has already thought of it, I should also think of it. So, I think I have no reason to test myself by committing suicide. I just have to be like him and wait."

The dean sighed helplessly: "So, you don't believe me?"

Hannibal looked at the other party with a smile and nodded: "Yes, I don't believe it."

"Sure enough, the person who knows you best is yourself." The dean said, "But it doesn't matter. 25 years ago, you would have thought that you wouldn't believe this, so this diary was written by you yourself. of,."

Hannibal frowned. He really didn't expect this news, because if that was the case, then all this could be considered a message to himself, so he immediately opened the diary and looked at it. He also used his fingers to draw a few strokes on it. Soon, he discovered that these words seemed to be written by himself.

"In order to make what I said more credible, before you came to see me, you took a complete excerpt of my diary and told me to bring this diary to you many years later. After that, you You committed suicide and started a new reincarnation because you wanted to find a faster way than Will. As for the reason, it is very simple because your diet is different from other people, which makes your body much stronger than normal people. , and Will has suffered from mental illness for a long time, including anorexia, insomnia, neurasthenia, and extremely poor quality of life, so you speculate that Will will die before you! And your temper naturally makes it impossible for you to pin your victory on yourself. It’s impossible to tell, and the situation is even more uncontrollable; oh, by the way, in order to dispel your own concerns, you gave me a task many years ago.”

"Task?"

"Yes, a mission! A mission that can make you believe that you were there 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. Inside the box were piles and piles of small notes. These small notes were neatly arranged in categories. Even some of the larger ones were Stapled together.

"The task you gave me is to collect these notes. These notes are the information that I have found for myself over the past few decades and that other murderers have left for me."

"Haha, that means you are the one who steals other people's notes everywhere."

The dean nodded: "Yes, that's me, and the reason why I collected these small notes is because you know that after a few reincarnations, you will not believe anyone's words, so now, I will hand over these little notes to you." For you, and whether all this is true or false is entirely up to you to judge."

Hannibal smiled and began to read through the small notes one by one. With his reading speed, he quickly completely integrated the information and compiled it together.

At that time, a huge process that lasted for decades was truly revealed in front of Hannibal - what he had to admit was that at this moment, he had come to the conclusion that all of this was indeed the case. real.

Hannibal put down all the notes and messages, and it couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long time.

"Oh, well, although I don't want to admit it, but as you said before, the person who knows me best is of course myself. He knew back then that I would definitely deduce the same thing as him result."

The dean nodded: "Of course you will. Over the years, you will take a huge step forward every time you restart. 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 judgment standards for "suicide" again. Even if Will lives a little longer, you can really defeat him. It's a pity. He is still fast. step."

Hannibal smiled: "No one can stop the pace of time, so let's go back to the original question. Your deal."

The dean took a deep breath, as if he had put all his wealth and life on a bet, and then he took out a gun.

"I am going to kill you!"

Hannibal looked at the muzzle of the gun pointed at him. He was silent at first, and then he suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha - that's really interesting. Is this your deal?"

The dean still looked serious: "Yes, this is my deal, I will kill you, kill you with my own hands, from the bottom of my heart, without being misled in any way, and after knowing the rules of this world." Basically, I will let you win willingly, which is [suicide] in the true sense."

Hannibal crossed his legs and leaned comfortably on the back of the sofa: "Haha, I really didn't expect this. Over the years, no murderer in this hospital has learned what he really wants. In such a situation, they still want to kill another person, and they don’t even have time to save others. So, what do you want to get? Mr. Dean? "

"I want you to kill me after you get out, completely kill me, and eliminate my personality. After you die, you can completely control the palace of thought. You should be able to do this easily, right!"

"Of course, but why?"

"Of course it's because I don't want to exist anymore. This kind of ghost-like existence has no beginning and no end. It just exists as a person's incomplete personality and can only be manipulated. This feeling is crueler than death. Tens of thousands times, so.”

"So you want to completely disappear?"

The dean nodded, and there seemed to be a little light shining in his eyes: "Yes, as long as you promise me, I will send you out immediately. As soon as I pull the trigger, you will be the winner. .”

Hannibal was still smiling. He did not give the dean an answer, but asked a strange question himself: "Do you know the game of rock, paper, scissors?"

The dean was stunned: "Rock, paper, scissors? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hannibal still looked at him calmly: "Rock-paper-scissors is a very simple game, because it only has three options, and winning or not in this game depends almost entirely on luck. However, when playing the game Before starting, one person said to the other person, "I'm going to throw a stone, haha, then the game suddenly becomes interesting."

The dean was completely confused. He had no idea why Hannibal was telling him this, so he shouted extremely 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, completely at his mercy! There will be no recovery!"

Hannibal smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking very graceful.

"Well, since you are so urgent, I will give you the answer." He said lightly: ".I refuse."
