Xing Ze, who escaped and ascended to heaven, hid in a forest near the barn. He opened his palms and dropped a handful of bullets to the ground.
Then, he looked at his upper right arm, where there was a bullet hole. As his vision went down, there was another bullet hole in his abdomen.
"Damn it, I have to change my robe again." He murmured.
Under such intensive firepower, no matter how fast he reacted, he could not outrun the bullets. The magic robe and blue beak helped block most of the bullets, but some of them still penetrated all obstacles.
Xing Ze stretched out his left hand, and the blue beak turned into several small tentacles and got into the bullet hole. After stirring for a while, a black bullet was taken out.
"Look, exorcism bullets. These time-travelers can really cause trouble for me."
After saying that, those tentacles went down and penetrated into his injured abdomen. This time, Xing Ze couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
He tried to think of other things to divert his attention, Yuri, the man who ruined everything, who he was, and why suspicious people like Lenny and Kent believed him.
These two exorcism bullets came from him, which is why Xing Ze temporarily retreated. These bullets will cause serious damage to him. If they hit his head - which is not difficult with Yuri's shooting skills -
He might die like an ordinary person.
The wound on his right upper arm healed very slowly. The saint's ashes in the exorcism bullet inhibited Blue Beak's repair ability. After removing the bullet from his abdomen, he took out a bottle of healing potion from the ring and poured it on the wound.
The bright red blood stains were diluted by the transparent liquid. The wound was gradually healing, and the internal damage still needed to be slowly recovered. Xing Ze drank the remaining healing potion. Under the influence of the saint's ashes, the effect of the potion would be greatly reduced.
But at least it's better than nothing.
After treating the wound, Xing Ze released Blue Beak and let it follow those people, while he determined the direction and walked towards the town.
…
"Is there any problem?" Ellie looked at Worm through the single-sided glass.
"Do you believe him, ma'am?" asked the superintendent.
"No." Ellie shook her head, "I don't trust anyone except my own people."
The superintendent nodded and agreed: "Very good."
"However, I gave him a gun and he didn't point it at my head. So I think he is still trustworthy for the time being."
"If it were me, I wouldn't do something so stupid. Especially after you revealed your identity."
The door was opened, and a police officer came in and asked, "You called me, Superintendent?"
"Well, go find Harris and tell him to bring information about the Iron Knight Gang."
"Well, Detective Harris is still outside processing..."
"Ah, I forgot. Then...well, let's call Brett over."
"Okay." The police officer agreed and walked out.
The eldest lady turned around and leaned her back against the glass. She said nothing because her doubts would be answered soon.
After Brett came in, Ribbon said: "Agent Nix wants to know all the information about the Iron Knight Gang. Especially the Black Knight."
"Of course." Brett held a pile of information in his hands, "But I think it's more convenient if I want to go to the office."
"Just tell us briefly."
"Well, it is one of the two largest gangs in Liverpool. It often operates in the East District, smuggling, and drug trafficking..."
Ellie stretched out her hand and interrupted: "What's their relationship with the Old Record Gang?"
Brett put the information in his hand on the office table and replied: "Both sides are happy to kill the other side."
"What about the Black Knight?"
"Ah, about this." Brett searched for a while in the pile of documents, then picked up a record sheet and said: "The Black Knight, the leader of the Iron Knights. The former second-in-command, survived the clean-up.
He led the Knights to wipe out the remaining gangs in the East District."
"If we are going to deal with him, is there anything we need to pay attention to?"
"Wait, wait, why are we dealing with him?"
"Don't worry. It's just a possibility. Just answer the detective's questions." Ribbon said.
"First of all, we have to find a way to get close to him. In addition, I don't think he will like the police. He once took a policeman..."
"We all know about the hanging case two years ago, Brett. The point is, we need to give him what he wants. Has he done anything recently?"
"Well -" Brett shrugged, "As far as I know, no. Ever since we started investigating the Old Record Gang, they have become very peaceful."
"It seems that they really want to kill each other. Do we know his behavior pattern?"
"Um, no. He has several properties in his name, and we only have control of a few, so..."
"Okay, that's enough, Brett, thank you." The superintendent said, "Just leave the information, I think the detective will need it."
Brett nodded, looked at the two of them with doubtful eyes, and then walked out of the interrogation room.
Ribbon took a deep breath, put his hands on the table, stared at the glass and asked: "So, what do you think of our Mata Hari's plan?"
The eldest lady reached out and took the Black Knight's files, "It's risky, but worth a try. Many times, your enemies often know you better than anyone else."
"You're not trying to trick your enemy's enemy into being your friend, are you?"
The eldest lady shrugged and said, "Then how much information about the Old Record Gang is there in your data room?"
These words made Ruiben speechless for a moment. He frowned and said: "The Black Knight is a madman, a complete anti-social madman."
"I'm still a wizard."
"Okay, I have to ask the director for instructions. Maybe Burke needs to come forward. You'd better talk to him."
"Leave it to me."
In the underground archives room, when Ellie arrived, Burke had just finished making a phone call. He put down the phone and said, "I wrongly blamed Xing Ze."
There was confusion on Ellie's face.
"You can cause more trouble than he does, miss. Did you set the office building on fire?"
"For Merlin's sake, who do you think I am? I'm not crazy enough to burn a whole room of clues."
Burke sighed heavily, "Then, I should hear something even crazier next, right?"
"In fact, it's not that crazy. A suspect here proposed to cooperate with the Iron Knight Gang. The Iron Knight Gang is..."
"I know what the Iron Knights are. This plan sounds a bit like drinking poison to quench thirst. Cooperate with another gang. As far as I know, the Iron Knights hate the police. Your identity is quite disadvantageous for you."
"I'm a wizard."
"Guns and bombs don't identify you in advance. They just kill you."
Seeing that Ellie was about to speak, Burke waved his hand and interrupted: "You are a wizard, but that doesn't mean you can deal with all the Muggle weapons. Our best robes can't always resist their weapons.
"Not to mention, you may encounter other wizards. Yes, I know there are many dark wizards who work with local gangs, so are you sure?"
Ellie nodded without hesitation.
"You know what?" Burke frowned, "You are becoming more and more like that man."
