Ellie walked up to Tom with the flyer and asked, "What is this?"
Tom raised his head and saw the flyer through his messy hair. He spit out the blood in his mouth and said, "I don't know."
After hearing this, the eldest lady slowly folded up the flyer and asked Worm impatiently: "Catching a big fish? He's not even a small fry."
Probably because he was afraid that the rope would kill him in the next second, Worm's hands violently exerted force, and Tom screamed.
"Think carefully, my friend, otherwise, your hands will be broken."
"Fuck you, damn...ah, fuck, fuck!"
Ellie played with the leaflet in her hand. When Tom's yelling gradually stopped, she unfolded the folded leaflet, turned it over, and faced the Ouroboros logo towards Tom.
As a wizard and a Defense Against the Dark Arts wizard who has extensive research on black magic, Ellie knows the meaning of ouroboros quite well. In potions - what Muggles think of as alchemy - it
Represents pure magical energy.
But with the development of potions science today, the meaning of ouroboros is actually more inclined to the closure of energy cycle, or self-destruction.
Both extreme meanings have different theoretical support, but in any case, it is quite abnormal for a symbol like this to appear in a human trafficking gang. Unless someone in this gang is obsessed with alchemy.
"This Peugeot, what does it mean?"
"I said...ah——"
"Don't worry, man, think about it carefully. Your answer has a lot to do with my fate, so I ask you to think twice."
Tortured by constant pain, Tom finally couldn't hold on any longer. He screamed: "Only, only, ah, shit, only the most core people can come into contact with it."
"The most important person? Name."
"Dolls, Dolls Jason, Fatty, Big Player and Lucy."
"What are these names?" Ellie frowned.
"Code name, it's okay, I know them." Worm interjected, and he let go of Tom, who was twisting. "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Ellie folded the leaflet again and put it into her pocket, "Notify the police..."
Suddenly, Worm raised his gun and fired, and three gunshots rang out. The eldest lady rolled on the spot, and a strong wind swept behind her, followed by the sharp sound of metal scraping the floor.
Worm looked at the air in front of him with some uncertainty. Those three bullets had indeed hit something, but that thing did not appear.
A rather bad premonition arose in his heart, and he felt the hairs on his neck stand up. Ever since he became an intermediate delivery person, he had rarely experienced this kind of life-or-death feeling.
The eldest lady stood up, quickly cast a defensive magic, and then took a few steps to Worm. At this time, Tom had a weird smile on his face.
"I told you, you can't escape."
At this moment, the office filled with documents began to burn. Flames and thick smoke began to spread on the floor, and the air suddenly became hotter.
Worm cursed: "Shut up, damn it." He looked around nervously and saw that the revolver still had three bullets, but the strange figure just now was nowhere to be found, but the claw marks on the ground proved that the thing did exist.
Before he could find the figure, Ellie caught him and Tom and performed an Apparition, and they appeared in their car. The thick smoke coming from the top of the office building attracted other Sentinel Point members of the Old Record Gang.
When the two guards watching the car saw the people suddenly appearing in the car, they immediately reached for their guns. Worm suddenly opened the car door, knocking down one of them, and then he used his revolver to kill the other.
The sound of gunshots completely made the whole street boil. Tom took action at this moment. Although his hands were so sore, he still tried his best to block Ellie who wanted to drive.
But his hand couldn't touch the eldest lady at all, and there seemed to be a layer of transparent glass between them. Worm saw the situation in the car, but did not help. There were still a lot of troubles waiting for him to solve outside.
Many members of the old record gang poured out of restaurants and used goods stores. They held various weapons in their hands and were angrily surrounding them.
Police waiting a block away also heard gunshots, and Ribbon cursed and urged Harris to get over there.
Harris sounded the alarm and drove at full speed. The police car rushed from the side of the road onto the road like a wild horse. He looked at the thick smoke in the sky: "The signal they gave was very conspicuous."
Ellie couldn't cast a spell in public. It was too risky and would definitely attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic. After dealing with Tom, she got out of the car.
The opponent's bullets came towards her unceremoniously, but none of them could penetrate Ellie's defensive spell.
Her spell skills are much better than Xing Ze's, so an armor protection paired with the expensive magic robe is more than enough to deal with Muggle firearms.
Worm hid behind a wheel, and the public police car was about to be beaten into a sieve. He couldn't help shouting: "If you have any ace, my dear lady, I think it's time to show it."
The eldest lady did not respond to him, but calmly opened the car door and got in. She reached out to adjust the rearview mirror, but the mirror was broken in the next second, which made her frown.
"Get in the car!" she finally said.
Wurm threw away the revolver, quickly got into the car, and huddled under the seat with Tom.
Ellie waved her wand and placed an impregnable force on the car. The police car, which was about to become a hornet's nest, rushed along the main street to another block like a terminally ill old man.
With the blessing of the eldest lady's spell, the car miraculously held up until support arrived. The influx of a large number of police officers made the original situation even more chaotic.
A gunfight was inevitable. Ellie stepped out of the car and looked at the office building not far away, feeling a little confused about what had just happened.
What attacked her, why didn't she notice it, and what's even more terrible is that the attacker turned out to be invisible.
Invisibility spells are not uncommon in the wizarding world, but in Ellie's opinion, the creature that attacked them - judging from the claw marks on the ground that it could not be human - is unlikely to cast an invisibility spell on itself.
So there are only two possibilities. There are wizards in the Old Record Gang, and the magic skills are quite good. Or the attackers themselves will become invisible.
At the same time, those claw marks also reminded Ellie of those in Frank's office. The two were very similar, and it was not ruled out that they were caused by the same creature.
If the attacker was invisible, then Xing Ze's analysis of Frank's office would be valid. The thing hid in Frank's office in advance and launched the attack when Frank took out the information and wanted to leave.
This explains the bullet holes in the wall and the distribution of claw marks on the ground, but how did this thing get into Frank's office? Although door locking is not a high-end job, Ellie doesn't think that the monster's claws are suitable for such a job.
