Wurm began to regret why he cooperated with the police, which was very different from his original plan. He originally planned to lead the Liverpool Police Department to find the location where the Old Record Gang was smuggling people, so as to make amends.
His charges were not too serious. The only items he smuggled were tobacco, alcohol, and some other valuables. The quantity was not large, at least the quantity found by the police so far was not too large. He might be sentenced to three to five years in prison.
But as long as you behave well, you can get a suspended sentence.
Judging from the previously negotiated agreement, he can be free as long as he provides important information, which means that the police will not pursue him for smuggling crimes. Although he will be on the national blacklist, it is at least better than going to jail.
But judging from the current situation, the police probably still want him to provide help. This is a bit uncomfortable for Worm. If before, he could hide in the territory of the Knight Gang and continue to live freely after betraying the Old Record Gang,
So now, he will soon become the rat that everyone in the Liverpool underworld shouts about.
His reputation in the underground world is worthless. The fate of any traitor will be quite miserable, let alone in such a lawless place.
So Worm is eager to escape. Even if he can't escape, he can be imprisoned. No matter how powerful the gang is, it will be difficult to exert it in prison. Even if they really want to cause trouble in prison, they have to ask the gang leader in prison.
Willing or not.
Worm was also familiar with that place. Part of his business was to cooperate with prisons. He had many acquaintances there, and at least his life would not be in danger. When the storm was over, he fled Liverpool with the money and went to Ireland.
All in France.
He has saved some gold bars, worth about three hundred thousand pounds, in his hut in the country, buried in the cement underground in the basement. It can be easily broken open with a twenty-pound hammer. When the time comes, he will take the money with him.
Have a great time.
"In other words, those four people were all killed by magical creatures? A race that has the same intelligence as us and also had an ancient civilization in the past?" Ribbon concluded after listening to Ellie's explanation.
.
"You can think so."
“Those horrific creatures live in Liverpool’s intricate sewer system?”
"From the current point of view, it is correct." Ellie agreed.
The superintendent let out a heavy breath and shouted: "Damn it, this is more magical than those thriller movies. If it weren't for my wife, I would never believe this nonsense."
"Oh God." Worm also shouted, "Why do you want me to know this? I didn't hear anything. Damn it, I have to forget what you just said as soon as possible."
"Okay, stop complaining." Ellie glanced at the smuggler, "I still need some help from you."
Worm waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, I have seen those things. You should remember the invisible guys in the office building, which gave me endless nightmares. Let alone the visible things.
"Besides, I am of no value to you anymore. Soon, the entire Liverpool gang will want me. If you bring me with you, you are bringing a time bomb with you, and you will be attacked at any time."
The eldest lady had a cruel smile on her face, "That's why I have to take you with me. In order to survive, at least you won't lie. You also know that as long as you stay with me, you will be safe. So when the time comes, ensure my integrity
I’m just ensuring your safety.”
Worm spread his hands and said: "Don't I have any power? I would rather go to prison than lose my life outside. Yes, I don't want any agreement, just send me to prison."
"I'm afraid it's not your fault," Ribbon said. "I'm going to keep you at the police station for a while and then put you back on the street in return for your help. You know, any procedure.
Approval takes time, so don’t worry, we will fulfill our promise.”
How could Worm not understand the meaning of Ruiben's words? They planned to imprison him until the Liverpool gang issued a wanted order. Letting him out then would be like sending a sheep to the wolves. Those hunters who are looking for bounty
They would tear him to pieces, and Worm estimated that he would not go more than a city block.
He was on pins and needles now, feeling like a piece of meat on a chopping board that anyone could cut into. After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to beg for mercy: "What do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple. The Black Knights said that almost all the secret sentries they sent were killed, so it is difficult to locate the location of the top brass of the Old Record Gang. You know how the underground world operates better than anyone else. Cooperate with Harris and see if you can
Can't find those people."
"You said it yourself, those secret sentries are dead. You can't let me die like this."
"I just want you to dig out more information through the intelligence network." Ruiben understood the eldest lady's intention, "I will definitely not let you go to the front when it comes to truly dangerous things."
Even the police may not have the chance to be on the front line. The superintendent murmured in his heart. Before carrying out today's mission, Ellie had already investigated a lot of information about the Four Horsemen through Burke.
If this information were known to Harris, he would definitely go crazy with joy. But Ribbon knew that most wizards looked down on Muggles, let alone sharing information with Muggles.
Burke is a typical wizard. He is not willing to intervene in the conflicts and disputes of Muggles, otherwise he would not be willing to stay in the underground archives.
This is also the reason why Ribbon did not panic even after losing the whereabouts of Ellie and the two. Obviously, as a wizard, Ellie is confident enough to fight against the Four Knights.
It can only be said that the loss of signal was both expected and unexpected. Ribbon originally thought that the police officers on the scene would be confused by the magic of the Four Horsemen, and that was exactly the case. The two people Harris looked at
People are not actually Ellie and Worm.
That was just an illusion displayed by fantasy magic. The car that really carried the two people secretly left the nightclub through the back door while the police were busy tracking the false target.
The two went in opposite directions, which was why the tracker lost its effect. But what Ribbon didn't expect was that the spell could also block the radio.
Fortunately, everything was resolved smoothly. Although Harris and his party had no idea what happened, after seeing the arrest of the Black Knight, the doubts of the group turned into excitement and motivation.
And Ribbon also knew that the next thing would only be more dangerous, and the only thing he could help with was locating the position of the top brass of the Old Record Gang. As for the pursuit, he could only rely on Ellie and other wizards.
Therefore, Worm's worries are completely unnecessary. He will be placed in the rear, as long as enough information and informants are given. They are not fools. Everyone can see that this cunning smuggler still has many things that he has not said.
