Serena took the mineral water from Lanny, took a sip and said, "Thank you. Mike is observing, and Kelly went to bandage it."
"Very good. Phew -" Lanni wiped the sweat from his face, "I know you must have a lot of questions. I will explain them to you. You can calm down first."
"I'm fine. Just tell me. Who is he...I saw him..."
"We suspect he is a dream creature."
"Dream objects?" Serena knew what that meant. Before entering this world, Kelly had done a lot of popular science for her so that she could have a preliminary understanding of the world.
Lanny suddenly thought of something and asked urgently: "Has he been here?"
"No." Serena shook her head, "Officer Coburn has been guarding the door. No strange people have come."
"Okay, that's good." Lanny exhaled a long breath again and leaned back on the chair. The ten-minute drive made it easier for them to walk, but in such a hot weather, they had to be always on guard against enemy attacks.
It's a challenge for them both physically and mentally.
"You know what dream things are, right?"
"I know, Kelly told me."
"Not only that, he is also a wizard. Don't ask me why this is happening. This is my first time encountering this situation. So, Yuri has to make sure that we are not controlled by the wizard using the Imperius Curse."
"So, that's why you are like this, you are testing me."
"You have to understand, Serena, this is necessary."
"But I...I didn't..." Serena's voice trembled slightly. She failed the test. When she was in the barn, she was completely at a loss and didn't even know what she should do.
The world will give you a new identity and new skills, but it can't change your personality and habits. She is used to following orders instead of making her own choices.
"Yes, but we have discussed it. You must have been frightened at the time, that's why you acted like that. What's more, if you were under the Imperius Curse, you would definitely help him."
Lanny's words made Serena relieved. At least she had not been abandoned by the team, but deep inside, there was a voice that kept reminding her that weak people have no right to speak.
If the test fails, and if people in the team think she and Xing Ze are on the same team, then the bullet just shot will also hit her.
When Serena thought of this possibility, she felt a cold feeling on her back. She quickly calmed down in her mind and tried her best to look no different from before.
Lanni continued to explain, trying her best to remember everything in her mind. When the other party paused, she interrupted and asked: "Then... those three people who attacked you in the supermarket? Were they also with Quentin?
Or is it also part of the plan?"
"Oh, about this." Lanny frowned, "We can't rule out that they are fake Quentin's men, but I don't think this is like his style of acting."
Selina didn't understand the meaning of these words, but she still understood the meaning. Lanni and the others were not sure whether the three people and Quentin were in the same group.
That means that the worst case scenario is that two groups of people are targeting them. Thinking of this, Selina felt a little surprised in her heart. She didn't expect that she would start to reason.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Is there anything else you want to ask?" Lanny asked.
Serena shook her head, "No, no."
Lanny nodded, stood up and walked towards the door of the clinic. Over there, Kent and Yuri were talking to each other.
"We don't have a car," Kent whispered.
"There is also a shuttle bus to Iron Bridge. We can leave tonight." Yuri said.
Lanny did not join in the fun. On the way here, they discussed the next plan for a long time. Kent and Yuri had differences in decision-making.
After learning that there were indeed clues in Brichester, Kent must go there. He did not want to give up halfway. Yuri suggested to avoid the limelight for the time being. He suggested going to Iron Bridge and staying there for two days to wait for the Severn River.
It won't be too late to go to Brichester once the river water returns to the warning line.
Both of their suggestions are reasonable. Kent is afraid of losing the opportunity. After all, the life and death of the fake Quentin is unknown. If he is still alive, he will definitely go to Brichester.
Yuri obviously wants to fight steadily. Without knowing the number and purpose of the enemy at all, taking rash actions will only make him a living target.
But Lanny felt that this cold bastard must be hiding some secrets. He was just as untrustworthy as the fake Quentin.
But it's enough to have someone in the team who is targeting him. Kent is not the kind of guy who lets others push him around. Others can tell at a glance that the two of them are not dealing with each other, and all Lenny has to do is act as a peacemaker.
He walked into the doctor's office and asked about Kelly and Mike's condition. Most of Kelly's injuries were abrasions, which could be disinfected and simply bandaged.
The key is Mike. When he wakes up will determine whose plan Lanny should support. In his heart, he prefers Yuri. Kent's plan to move forward like an explorer is too reckless.
No one knows what exactly is waiting for them in Brichester, perhaps an ambush, perhaps another more difficult dream object, or some crazy secret society.
But no matter which one Lanny wants to encounter, he clearly knows what will happen if he encounters these things, at least he can't encounter them without any plan, preparation and information.
"About an hour." The doctor replied while disinfecting Kelly's arm. "If he doesn't wake up after an hour, I suggest you send him to the hospital."
After receiving the answer, Lanny walked out of the office and walked towards the door again. Officer Coburn had been sent back by Yuri. Now there were only two men who were tit for tat.
Lanny coughed slightly and interjected: "Mike will probably wake up within an hour."
"For God's sake, Detective, what have you done?" Kent seemed to have found a savior, "I can't stand this donkey temper anymore."
"You are like a savage in the jungle who only knows how to rely on brute force."
"Fuck you. Let me tell you, you ignorant person. Savages don't just use brute force. They can use poison, hide, and set traps."
Yuri waved his hands in annoyance and said: "You know that's not what I meant. We don't know anything about the enemy at all. Don't you think it is suicide to rush into Brichester like this?"
"Suicide? Our detective was just attacked in the supermarket, and a dream creature sneaked into the team. Do you know how dangerous our situation is now? What if they follow the iron bridge? We need to solve it quickly. Say
Say something, Lenny, say something."
Lanny looked across the street, thought for a moment and said, "Kent is right. Obviously the other party knows our whereabouts and will be discovered sooner or later. There is no point in continuing to hide."
