Chapter 312 Cooperation

Xing Ze, who had escaped from the ascension, hid in a forest near the barn. He opened his palm and a handful of bullets fell to the ground.

Then, he looked at his right upper arm, where there was a bullet hole. As his vision went down, there was another one in his abdomen.

"Damn it, I have to change my robes again." He muttered.

Under such dense firepower, even if he reacted quickly, he could not be faster than the bullets. The magic robe and blue beak helped to block most of the bullets, but some of them still shot through all obstacles.

Xing Ze stretched out his left hand, and the blue beak turned into several tiny tentacles and drilled into the bullet hole. After stirring for a while, a black bullet was taken out.

"Look, exorcist bullets. These time travelers can really cause trouble for me."

After saying that, the tentacles went down and drilled into his injured abdomen. This time, Xing Ze couldn't help but groan.

He tried to think about other things to divert his attention. Yuri, the man who ruined everything, what was his background, and why people as suspicious as Lanny and Kent believed him.

The two exorcist bullets came from him, which is why Xing Ze retreated temporarily. These bullets would cause serious damage to him. If they hit his head - it was not difficult for Yuri's shooting skills - he might die like an ordinary person.

The wound on the right upper arm healed very slowly. The ashes of the saints in the exorcist bullets suppressed Bluebeak's repair ability. After removing the bullet from the abdomen, he took out a bottle of healing potion from the ring and poured it on the wound.

The bright red blood was diluted by the transparent liquid. The wound was gradually healing, and the internal damage needed to be slowly restored. Xing Ze drank the remaining healing potion. The effect of the potion would be greatly reduced under the influence of the ashes of the saints, but at least it was better than nothing.

After treating the wound, Xing Ze released Bluebeak and let it follow those people. He determined the direction and walked towards the town.

...

"Any questions?" Ellie looked at Worm through the one-way glass.

"Do you believe him, Miss?" 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 can still be trusted for the time being."

"If it were me, I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. 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. Tell him to bring the information of the Iron Knight Gang."

"Uh, Detective Harris is still outside dealing with it..."

"Ah, I forgot. Then... well, then call Brett."

"Okay." The police officer agreed and walked out.

The eldest lady turned around and leaned against the glass. She didn't say anything, because her doubts would be answered soon.

When Brett came in, Rayburn said, "Agent Knicks wants to know all the information about the Iron Knights. Especially the Black Knights."

"Of course." Brett held a pile of information in his hand, "But I think it would be more convenient to go to the office."

"Just tell us briefly."

"Well, it is one of the two largest gangs in Liverpool, often active in the East End, smuggling, drug trafficking..."

Ellie stretched out her hand to interrupt, "What is their relationship with the Old Records Gang?"

Brett put the information in his hand on the office desk and replied, "Both sides are happy to kill each other."

"What about the Black Knight?"

"Ah, about this." Brett searched in the pile of documents for a while, then picked up a record sheet and said, "The Black Knight, the leader of the Iron Knights. The former second-in-command, survived the Great Purge, and then led the Knights to wipe out the remaining gangs in the East End."

"If we want to deal with him, do we need to pay attention to anything?"

"Wait, wait, why do we deal with him?"

"Don't worry. It's just a possibility, just answer the agent's questions." Rayburn said.

"First, we have to find a way to get close to him. In addition, I don't think he will like the police. He once killed a policeman..."

"We all know about the hanging case two years ago, Brett. The point is, we need to cater to his needs. Has he taken any action recently?"

"Well--" Brett shrugged his shoulders and said, "As far as I know, no. Since we started to investigate the old record gang, they have been very quiet."

"It seems that they really want to kill each other. Do we have a grasp of his action pattern?"

"Uh, no. He has several properties under his name, and we only have a grasp of some of them, so..."

"Okay, that's enough, Brett, thank you." The superintendent said, "Leave the information, I think the detective will need it."

Brett nodded, looked at the two with a puzzled look, and then walked out of the interrogation room.

Reiben 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 file, "It's risky, but worth a try. Many times, your enemies know you better than anyone else."

"You're not trying to make the enemy of your enemy your friend, are you?"

The eldest lady shrugged and said, "Then how much information about the Old Record Gang do you have in your archives?"

These words made Ruiben speechless for a moment. He frowned and said: "The Black Knight is a madman, a complete antisocial 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 just finished 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 down a room full 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 Muggle weapons. Even our best robes can't resist their weapons all the time.

"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."

"who?"

"You know who I'm talking about."
