"They agreed." Simon said, "But Mr. Doll is not here, so you can talk to Tom."
Worm took a sip of his Long Island iced tea and asked doubtfully: "Tom? The one who talks a lot? The one with curly hair?"
"Yes." Simon replied.
"Didn't he only take charge of wine before?"
"That's right. Since Taylor entered, he has been upgraded. Now he takes care of all the affairs under Mr. Doll."
"So, can he give me enough goods?" Worm asked.
"Except Mr. Doll, I can't think of anyone else who can meet your conditions."
"Very good, then take me to see him."
Simon took out a cigarette, lit one for Worm and himself, and then said: "It's just you."
"No, no, no, my woman must be with me."
"Don't go too far, Nate. I've already done you a big favor. Don't make it any fucking harder for me. Tom, like Tyler, is not a guy to mess with."
"I know, I know. But..." Worm patted Simon on the shoulder and motioned for him to come to the side to talk.
Worm took a long drag on his cigarette and said, "I have no money. The police have frozen all my accounts."
"What? Go to hell..."
"Hey hey hey, I haven't finished talking yet. She has money." Worm pointed at Ellie and said.
"What are you talking about? Worm, she is just a street girl from the countryside. Even if she is sold, she won't be worth much."
"In fact, I deposited some of the money in her account."
"What are you? For God's sake, what are you..." Simon couldn't believe his ears, "Did you make this decision on your own?"
"You don't have to say it so harshly, Simon? I can only say that any man is fascinated by a woman sometimes. In short, she needs to go in with me, otherwise she won't give me money."
"Damn crazy bitch." Simon looked at Ellie who was drinking a milkshake. "Come on, Nate, you brought this on yourself. Either go alone or get out."
"Just one more person, Simon. Damn it, just one more fucking bitch from the country."
"No. Tom's not in his right mind, and you know that. If he makes that guy unhappy, there's no telling what he'll do. I'm doing this for your own good, man. Find a way to get the money out of that bitch.
You can’t even deal with a woman, can you?”
"Hell, you know I don't hit women."
"Then leave it to me. Don't worry, give me ten minutes and I'll let her return the money to you with interest."
"Hey, hey, wait, wait, what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
"Wait." Worm stopped Simon who was about to leave. "You go to the bathroom and wait. I'll trick her into going there, just you. I've seen your methods, and she can't stand it."
"I see that you are really fascinated by her, okay, okay, I'll wait for you in the bathroom. The women's bathroom."
Worm nodded and walked towards Ellie.
"That doesn't sound like it's going well." Ellie scooped out the milkshake on the glass.
"Did you hear everything?"
Ellie pointed to her ear and said, "It's very clear. What are you going to do?"
"It's simple, I'll go in with you. And then I'll beat the guy up."
"Oh~ It's so reliable, but you have to know that this is their territory. As long as he barks, a bunch of people will come in, and your fishing plan will go bankrupt."
"Better than being hanged."
Ellie smiled lightly, "We will go in after I finish eating this. Leave everything to me. Just watch the door."
…
Lanny observed the streets and alleys, and he drew a simple map of the town on his notes. "I have some bad premonitions." He muttered quietly.
"Is it about the bear hunting plan?" Xing Ze asked.
"No, it's about the whole thing. There are many doubts, and we don't have any clues so far."
"Perhaps everything will be clear when we wait until Brichester." Xing Ze comforted.
"That's exactly what I'm worried about."
"What's the meaning?"
"What if Bristol is a trap? They want to get us out of Liverpool so they can kill us on the road."
Hearing this, Xing Ze stopped and Lani stopped moving forward. Serena looked at the two of them doubtfully, she was a little confused.
"Are you doubting me, Mr. Detective?"
Lanny took out a lighter and lit his pipe, "You know, people in our industry are always suspicious of this and that."
I have a deep understanding. Xing Ze said in his heart, but he said: "I understand, but, Mr. Detective, what makes you worried about me?"
"Anywhere." Lanny took off his pipe, "You know what? I have received many strange tasks. But this is the first time I have seen one. So passive, so uncertain, so unconventional."
Xing Ze rubbed his chin and asked: "Mr. Lanny, do you suggest that I ask what you do in real life?"
Seeing the other person's face darken, he changed his words and said: "Oh, maybe I asked too directly. I just want to know are you also a detective in reality?"
Lanny's teeth left marks on the pipe. He couldn't figure out the person in front of him. For a moment, he felt like he was being stared at by some ferocious beast.
His hand unconsciously touched the short stick at his waist. At this time, his brain was working rapidly. In just a few seconds, he recalled everything he had experienced these days.
There were too many doubts about this man, but they were just doubts. He could find no evidence and no clues on his face.
After the momentary sense of danger passed, the man returned to his previous appearance. But Lanni understood that this was all an illusion.
"Don't you think bringing reality into the game would be too repetitive and boring?" he replied with a smile.
"Oh." Xing Ze seemed to understand something, "Then, you are just a detective in the game."
"What's wrong with that? Ask Serena if she's a nurse in real life?"
Serena shook her head, "I just...just..."
"No need to explain." Xing Ze waved his hand to her in a friendly manner, "No problem, I'm just out of curiosity. So, let's get back to it. Is there anything wrong with me that makes you feel wrong?"
"It's all such a coincidence, don't you think so, Mr. Quentin? Everyone died, but you survived. You sent a distress signal. Frank just left a clue for you before he disappeared.
"And the clue just points to Brichester. So, we followed you here, and the car was damaged inexplicably. Don't you think this is all too coincidental?"
