Chapter 304: Sudden Attack

"If you have any doubts, Mr. Lanny. I think I explained it to you before." Xing Ze said with a smile.

"Yes, you explained everything clearly." Lanny said, "That's the problem. It's like a script. You seem to have arranged everything."

Selina wanted to interrupt, but not fast enough. Xing said: "If this is all arranged, why should I go to so much trouble to lure you all out to kill you. Wouldn't it be easier to do it in Liverpool?"

"I don't know about that. Maybe you have your own purpose."

After saying this, the two smiled at each other, and Selina was still confused.

"Prove this, Mr. Lanny." Xing Ze said with a smile on his face, and there were thousands of meanings behind that smile.

Lanny also smiled and replied in a tone that did not retreat at all: "I will, Mr. Quentin, I will." But his hand had subconsciously grasped the short stick at his waist.

"Then I look forward to the moment when you find the truth. But now, let's focus on the escape route."

I will find it, your fox tail. Lanny swore secretly in his heart, he loosened his hand and suppressed his tension on the pipe.

...

A scream came from the women's bathroom. Simon, who wanted to teach Ellie a lesson, was slumped on the stained floor.

He was like a fish caught on the shore, breathing heavily, and sweat dripped down his forehead. His right hand, the ring finger on his right hand was completely twisted.

The visible pain spread on his face, distorting his face and hoarse his throat.

"Okay, Mr. Simon. I don't mean to hurt you anymore. There are only two choices in front of you, take us to see Tom, or continue to resist."

Although he didn't understand why he couldn't move, why his fingers broke by themselves, and why he screamed for so long, the men outside hadn't come in yet.

But Simon was full of fear for the woman holding a small wooden stick in front of him, and all kinds of things beyond his cognition were showing from her.

"No, no, please, they will... kill... Ah-ah-fuck-"

"In fact, I don't want to hear no now, sir. So you only have one choice." Ellie's wand was spinning, and Simon's right index finger began to bend back.

Worm, who was standing at the door to watch the wind, took a breath, rubbed his hands subconsciously, and then forced himself to shift his attention to the outside.

He felt that he didn't need to stand here to watch the wind. Simon's screams sounded intermittently several times. But those people outside were like deaf, still doing their own things.

"They will kill my family!" After enduring the pain, Simon used his last strength to say a coherent sentence.

Yes, he was a gang member who lived a life of blood and knives. Things like family were too far away for him, but as Worm said before, men are always fascinated by women.

Family members often become weak points. If he betrays the Old Record Gang today, his family members will also be implicated in addition to him.

"Worm." Ellie frowned and shouted, "Do you know his family members?"

Worm was slightly stunned, and then asked, "You want to..."

Ellie approached Simon and whispered, "What did you just say about me? You said I was a bitch from the countryside? Worm will tell me where your family is. Then I will go to your house, guess what will happen?

"Your wife will die like a bitch, lying naked on the road in front of your house, and your children? I will let them watch the whole process, I will force them to open their eyes..."

"Don't say it, don't... say it!" Simon roared angrily, but soon his face was covered with despair. He understood that this woman could do it, she had the ability.

He shifted his gaze to Worm and said with resentment, "Go to hell, you damned bastard, I even invited you to my house for dinner, fuck you..."

"Hehehehe. "Ellie snapped her fingers in front of Simon, "Focus, sir. Answer me now, will you take me to see Tom?"

Simon nodded, he could not give any other answer, not because of the piercing pain in his hand, but because of his family.

But at the same time, he also swore in his heart that if he could survive today, he would make these two people pay the price.

"Okay, it's settled." Ellie smiled with satisfaction, and suddenly, she thought of something and moved her wand.

With a click, the two fingers of Simon's right hand were bent back again. The sudden pain almost made the man faint from the pain. He let out a few low roars, and the sound was much worse than before, which meant that he really had no strength.

The wand in Ellie's hand moved again, unlocking the confinement spell on Simon, and then said to Worm: "Help him up and wash him, and then smoke a cigarette and we will set off. "

Worm did as he was told. Although he knew that Simon would definitely dislike him, he was willing to take the risk rather than disobey the witch's order.

While Simon was washing up, Worm walked to Ellie and whispered, "What you just said, uh, looking for his family, is that true?"

"What? Do you want to be a good person now?"

"No, no, no, it's just... just... damn, I don't know how to say it, the impression you give people is really unexpected. "

"I've been in prison for a while." Ellie took out a candy from her pocket. She always liked to eat sweets when she was nervous or felt bad.

This was very similar to Xing Ze - at least that's what she thought before she got the answer. But she only recently learned that Xing Ze ate candy because he needed sugar to keep his brain clear so that he wouldn't be confused. He used cigarettes and alcohol to stay awake, but after quitting, he relied on candy.

The sweetness of the fruit candy calmed her down a little, and she continued: "The prison where wizards are imprisoned. I asked the jailers there for some torture techniques and methods. You don't want to know their real methods.

"In addition, my great aunt. She is also an outstanding political activist, good at insight into human nature and understanding people's hearts. I have learned a lot from her. "

Worm let out a long breath. He understood that Ellie was just threatening Simon, but he was not sure whether this so-called wizard would really rush to Simon's house and do those crazy things.

Don't harm your family. This rule has been silently followed in their industry, at least, well, at least it was like this more than ten years ago. Worm thought to himself and looked at the revolver tattoo on his arm.

...

The test did not produce any results, but it left a crack. Xing Ze reached into his pocket, but he didn't get what he wanted.

The last of the candies that Lily sent him from the United States were taken away by Ellie as one of the rewards for her staying behind to investigate.

Those candies are really good. He had tried many foreign snacks, but none of them suited his taste. They were either too sweet or too bland. Only a few of them suited his picky mouth. Lily's candies, or rather the fruit candies in them, were one of the few snacks that met this condition.

Xing Ze withdrew his hand. Selina had been secretly looking at him. Lanny's words had planted the seeds of doubt in her heart. If he handled it improperly, he might become the target of public criticism. This was why he hated working with his peers.

After completing the drawing of the escape route, Lanny stopped by the Severn River and looked at the raven perched on an old willow tree.

"What bad luck." He muttered, turned to the other two and said, "I'm going to buy some drinks. Do you want anything? "

A small supermarket is not far from the river. Xing Ze shook his head, saying that he didn't want anything. Selina wanted a bottle of water. Indeed, they had walked for a long time, and it was normal to be thirsty.

After Lanny left, Xing Ze asked the female nurse beside him: "Do you believe what he said?"

Selina lowered her head, and she rubbed the corner of her clothes anxiously, "I... I don't know, I never have any opinions. People... people say, I... do what they say."

"It's easy to live like this." Xing Ze smiled, "but it will also become a tool for others. I talked to Mike not long ago about their decision to kick us out."

"But we, we really can't help." Selina's voice began to become nervous.

Xing Ze smiled and whispered: "Be careful, Miss Selina. Since ancient times, the weak have no right to speak. In real life, if you are obedient, there is no problem. But this world is not as romantic as it is written in books. I suggest you have your own opinions on things. "

The raven on the old willow tree gave a warning. Xing Ze frowned and looked in the direction of the small supermarket. His excellent hearing caught some sounds.

"Miss Selina, find a place to hide, quickly!"

Xing Ze's hasty command made Selina tremble all over. She nodded in panic and looked around for a place to hide.

Xing Ze didn't care about her anymore, but strode towards the small supermarket. At the same time, in the supermarket, Lanny was fighting with three gangsters.

His gun was knocked aside, but fortunately the short stick was still in his hand. The three attackers were obviously not vegetarians. They were well-trained, with clear division of labor and ruthless.

If Lanny's body hadn't been strengthened, he would have been knocked down long ago. But even so, the situation was not easy. Optimistic, his physical strength is limited, if he continues, he will be unable to resist sooner or later.

If he was facing three ordinary robbers, no, even if he was facing three strong athletes, Lanny was confident that he could deal with it, but the newcomers were not ordinary people.

Just when Lanny was forced to retreat, the door of the supermarket was opened and gunshots rang out. The three attackers probably heard the sound of the door opening. They just turned their heads and took a quick look, and then hid behind the shelves on both sides.

The bullets missed. Xing Ze hurriedly shouted to Lanny: "Go, go!"

Lanny's reaction was not slow. While the other party was dodging the gunshot, he immediately rushed to the door.

Xing Ze used up all the bullets, then threw away the gun and rushed out of the supermarket. As soon as he came out, he looked around, and the cry of the raven made him find Selina.

"Follow me! "He called out to Lanny and ran towards where Selina was.

If nothing unexpected happens, the town police will arrive soon. Surveillance is far from popular in this era, let alone a small supermarket like this. So throwing away the gun is the best choice, otherwise, when the police arrive, they won't be able to explain themselves.

The UK also has strict control over guns. They prohibit ordinary people from carrying guns, and hunting rifles also need to go through complicated applications and strict registration. Once they are caught illegally carrying guns, they will be trapped in the local police station.

The three attackers did not continue to pursue. The town police arrived three minutes later. The local police station is located in the center of the town and can be reached quickly by car.

Two police cars stopped at the entrance of the supermarket, and four armed policemen surrounded the entrance of the supermarket. Xing Ze looked at all this not far away and asked Lanny: "Should we run away or turn ourselves in?"

Lanni put away his short stick and replied: "Turn ourselves in. This place is too small. The cashier of the supermarket has seen me. The police will come to the door sooner or later. It will be too troublesome at that time.

"In addition, we can't be sure whether the three attackers have left or are still ambushing us in secret. Now, it is safest to follow the police. Don't be afraid..."

Lanni reached out and patted Selina, who was trembling slightly, "I know a lot of police friends. They won't do anything to us. At most, they will make a record. ”

Since Lanny said so, Xingze and Selina had no intention of objecting. The three of them raised their hands and walked towards the police.

Ten minutes later, they were taken to the local police station. Just as Lanny said, they were recorded separately.

The person who received Lanny was a young police officer who looked to be in his early twenties and still had a bit of immaturity on his face.

After answering the necessary questions, Lanny asked him to make a phone call. The young police officer gave an ambiguous answer and then left the interrogation room.

Until Lanny was about to get impatient, the door of the interrogation room opened again. This time, an older police officer came. Lanny had seen him before. He was one of the first four police officers to arrive at the supermarket.

"Mr. Lanny, do you want to make a phone call?"

"Yes, Officer Coburn, if possible, I want to contact my friend to pick us up."

"Oh, about this. No need to bother, we have sent someone to find your friend. Is he at Molly Hotel?"

"That's right. "Lanni nodded. He understood what the police had been doing while he was waiting.

But it was no wonder they took so long. The police force in the town was not large to begin with. They were probably very busy dealing with such a big case involving firearms.
