Ellie thought about the superintendent's words for a moment, and then said: "If your boss wants to get along with you, just let him go, right?"
"Ah, yes, miss." Ribbon said helplessly. He did not expect that the wizard lady would understand the meaning of his words so quickly.
"I can understand that. There are too many people involved here, and a chief constable is really weak. Tell him, Ribbon, tell him that Scotland Yard is taking this investigation very seriously, and if he does a good job, there is a good chance that
will be promoted.
"In addition, let him seize the opportunity. This is an opportunity to eradicate the old record gang forever. He can do things that his predecessors were unable to accomplish, which will make his reputation soar. Then the city council will
Get an extra chair."
Ruiben interrupted softly: "I don't think he has any intention of climbing up."
"Oh, Superintendent. Everyone likes to climb up. This is human nature. I think your boss just didn't find the right opportunity."
"But you, can you do this? Give the city council an extra chair?"
"Let Burke think of a way, he can always create miracles." A smile appeared on Ellie's face.
"I can't even tell who I'm working for," Ribbon said, glancing quickly at Ellie.
"For myself," Ellie replied, "for the important people. That's what the idiot who went to Brichester did. He never doubted himself or what he did."
"Do you mean Xing Ze?"
The eldest lady nodded.
Ruiben smiled and said: "My wife has told a lot about him. But I don't understand most of them. He is your hero, right? After doing so many things."
"I don't know." Ellie said, "It depends on people's definition of a hero."
Riben didn't understand what she meant for a while, but he didn't want to ask too many questions, so he changed the subject and said, "Do you want to talk to 'Mata Hari' later?"
"Let's put it to tomorrow. I'm tired and just want to go back and take a bath."
…
Mike walked out of the clinic before dark. Although he was still a little dizzy, he had no other serious problems. The group went to the previous restaurant for dinner.
As soon as everyone sat down, Mike suggested: "We can steal a car and set off to Braicchester in the middle of the night."
"So they can kill us on the road?" Lanny sneered.
Kent took the wine at hand and took a sip and said: "I think this plan is feasible. We can take it by surprise."
"Surprise is when the enemy is not aware of it. Have you forgotten something? We may still be under the surveillance of others." Yuri retorted, "I agree with Lanny's previous proposal, we will continue to carry out bear traps here.
If there is no gain, then move the position."
"What if there's something to gain? How long do we have to stay in this shitty place?" Kelly asked.
"Kelly, right? Do you really know our current situation?" Yuri asked with a frown.
"What do you mean?"
"I think rather than making yourself more comfortable, we should consider how to save our lives."
"Fuck you." Kelly couldn't help but give Yuri a middle finger.
Seeing that a quarrel was about to happen, Lanni decisively interjected: "Are we going to sit here and argue all night, or do we do something serious? There are unknown dangers waiting for us outside. Well, don't worry about when to go to Bray.
Chester's up, let's focus on the bear trap."
"Okay, okay, great detective, tell me your plan. It's best to come up with a plan that we can all be convinced of." Kent said.
"First of all, who among you has ever fought against a dream thing?"
Yuri raised his hand first, followed by Kent.
This result was expected by Lanny, and then he asked: "So, who has participated in a real battle. Any battle will do."
Mike and Kelly raised their hands. Lanny nodded and said: "Very good. You have to understand, everyone, what we are facing is not just an ordinary cult organization, nor a low-level criminal gang.
"It's a terrifying dream monster and a wizard. You saw what he did in the barn. He is fully capable of killing any one of us. If we don't unite, we will definitely lose.
"So, stop quarreling fearlessly, everyone. Now, let's talk to people who have participated in battles with dream objects and what they need to pay attention to. We have no more clues and can only rely on past experience."
Yuri was the first to speak: "You have to understand that things in dreams can affect people's minds. I think you all know this. So, there is a problem. When we were in the barn, you had
Does anyone feel any mental discomfort?"
The others looked at each other and then shook their heads.
"Some dream monsters do not affect the mind." Kent explained, "I have seen theories about this on some forums. Some high-level dream creatures can control their own etheric energy."
"If it's true, then that's where the trouble lies." Yuri took a deep breath, "He's not a simple dream monster. At least it's stronger than what I've encountered before. Damn it, then this is not an A-level monster at all.
Task."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Lanni quickly interrupted, "That's just a bunch of speculation. It may be that the guy's ether energy is still too weak to affect us."
"I agree with the detective." Kent said, "If the counterfeiter is really that powerful, he won't be able to let us walk out of the barn alive. But we can't see him too easily."
As he spoke, Kent took out a small handful of bullets from his pocket. He pointed at the black ones and said, "Exorcist bullets, they can deal with dream objects and wizards very well. I suggest you all
Use points to redeem some for emergencies.”
"But this thing isn't cheap." Mike muttered quietly.
"Money doesn't mean anything when you don't even have your life, man," Kent shot back.
"Everyone prepares a magazine of bullets. This is the minimum requirement. If you are not confident in your shooting ability, prepare more." Yuri suggested in a low voice.
Serena wrote down these key points in her notebook. As a newcomer, she felt tremendous pressure. Although she was a little dull, she was by no means stupid.
She remembered Yuri's words and expression just now, and their meaning was not difficult to guess. These high-level investigators could not determine the danger level of the enemy. This was obviously not good information.
What's more, she doesn't know how to use a gun at all, whether in reality or in this world, she is a nurse, not a killer, and judging from the situation just now, it is unlikely that this group of people will stand up to protect her.
