Chapter 320: Getting Ready
The group supported each other and finally walked out of the hotel. After hearing the sirens, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuri and Mike, who was still able to move, were on guard to prevent the snakemen from rushing out of the hotel. Although this possibility was not great, if they did not want to conceal their existence, there was no need to sneak into the hotel to attack.
Blue and red police lights were lit at the two intersections of the street. Four or five police cars drove from the two intersections. Residents around the hotel also walked out of their homes to watch. This quiet town had never seen such a thing, which was enough to open the eyes of local residents.
This hotel, which had been operating locally for more than ten years, was now ablaze. Yuri's grenade probably ignited the carpet, and the snakemen from the ventilation duct must have destroyed the automatic sprinkler system, which caused the fire to spread quickly.
Three police cars surrounded the investigators and the police who got off the car shouted for them to put down their guns, kneel down, and not make any unnecessary movements.
Except for those who could not move, everyone else did as they were told. The intervention of the police meant that they were temporarily safe, and the snake people showed no signs of rushing out.
After a while, a group of people were handcuffed. Except for Yuri, everyone else was injured, so they were put on the ambulance and were about to be sent to the hospital in the next town.
There was only one ambulance in the whole town, so the group of injured and sick people could only squeeze into one car, accompanied by a police car with four fully armed policemen in the car.
After the vicious incident in the supermarket, the Telford police station entered an emergency state, and the incident in the hotel gave the director a headache.
Telford is not a big place, and there are not many cases throughout the year. Two cases of this scale occurred in succession within one day, which is enough to make the upper level have serious doubts about the law enforcement strength of the local police station.
At the same time, the entire police station will face a series of internal inspections. In addition, the reputation of the local police in the local area will plummet.
Coben took Yuri to the police station. As the most trusted police officer of the chief, he still had a lot of prestige in the police station, but this matter was too big, and he couldn't help even if he wanted to, unless he didn't want to do it anymore.
"Yuri, you should tell me the truth, what the hell is going on? If the matter between us is exposed..."
"Okay, Coben. There's nothing to worry about. No one will investigate you. I have a record in the police station, remember? I am a community support officer of the police, and no one will suspect you."
"But you showed up at the scene with a gun in your hand."
"I have a gun license. If they want to check, it's all in the file."
"The people in the investigation team of the job department don't care about these. They only care about why you appeared at the crime scene with a group of dangerous people."
Yuri, who was sitting in the back seat, shook the handcuffs and said, "Just say I'm investigating these people. Uncuff me."
Coben slowed down the car, took out the key from his pocket and handed it over.
Yuri took the key, untied the handcuffs skillfully and asked, "How are you going to deal with those guys?"
"The director has already contacted the next town, they will send enough people to guard the hospital, and then the higher-ups will send a special team to take over."
"This is troublesome." Yuri clicked his tongue.
"I know I shouldn't ask too much, but Yuri, you have to tell me what made you so embarrassed?"
"Some bad things. It's more difficult than what you encountered when you went to the iron bridge before. Be careful, man, the situation is very different this time. Those things don't seem to care about being exposed."
Coben looked at the road ahead in silence. After a long time, he muttered, "Maybe I should choose to move. The whole Seven Valley is too fucking weird."
"You should consider it. Okay, take me to get the equipment. Do you still have my car?"
"It's at the old place, and everything is there."
Coben turned off the police lights, and the police car did not continue to go to the police station, but turned onto another road. A few minutes later, they stopped at a centralized warehouse near the freight center.
Yuri rented a warehouse here and settled the bills monthly. Coben took care of all the trivial matters. The police officer was curious about the things in the warehouse, but he never explored further. He knew that he had to know when to stop.
Yuri got out of the car, took the key from Coben, and headed for his warehouse. He trusted Coben. After all, the two had experienced terrible dream events together. On this level, they had a friendship like comrades-in-arms.
Although he complained all the way, in the end, this kind policeman would still help. Yuri believed that he must have thought of an excuse to deal with his superiors.
He stopped in front of Warehouse No. 142 and opened the shutter door with the key. As the electric light illuminated the darkness, the entire warehouse was revealed.
It looked like a small investigation room, with desks, chairs, copiers, filing cabinets, and so on.
Unlike Frank and Quentin, Yuri was more like a compromise between the two. Frank, who is a Squib, has almost abandoned the real life. He is doing well here, whether in the wizarding world or the Muggle world.
Quentin, on the other hand, is more focused on the real life. He is just completing the task, just like completing a necessary job. This is mainly related to his fulfilling real life. He is a college mathematics teacher, has a wife and children, and his life is satisfactory.
If it weren't for his curiosity and pursuit of excitement, he would never click on the inexplicable APP. That thing is like a whirlpool leading to the abyss. It always appears in the mobile phones of those who are unhappy with their lives or want to pursue excitement.
Like Pandora's box, it tempts you to open it, but once you open the box, you will be trapped forever until death.
Yuri walked to a large satchel and took out the things inside one by one, a set of all-black clothes, a wine flask, a large-caliber revolver, a one-handed sword, and a dagger.
He drew out the one-handed sword, which was a demon-killing IV combat sword, which he exchanged for points. Under the light, the sword body flashed silver light, and the runes on it had magic power, which could cause damage to things in dreams.
As mentioned before, he is different from Frank. Yuri is not addicted to this world. He completes tasks, gets points, and then relies on points to arm himself, instead of using them to enjoy life.
Then, he picked up the revolver and checked it. There were six exorcism bullets in the gun. Unlike the real revolver, the dragon hunting crossbow has extremely strong power. One shot can kill a rhino. Combined with the exorcism bullets, it is a nightmare for wizards.
Similarly, this gun is also exchanged for points. Quentin has always regarded this world as a work point, so he has not learned and explored too much, which means that although he is smart and logical, he still cannot avoid death caused by mistakes.
For Yuri, he gets more information about this world in real life while integrating into it just right. In this way, he will not be lost like Frank, nor will he be confused like Quentin.
