Chapter 957 Suspicious Target
Los Angeles, SSI Division.

The white-haired old man held a stack of thick documents in his hand, and shouted with spittle splashing:
"Cheer up! You are all elites of SSI. Is it so difficult for you to collect intelligence?"

The crackling sounds of fingers tapping on the keyboard kept coming and going, and the men and women in the huge intelligence room wanted to stuff their heads into the computer monitors.

Although it was late at night, these SSI employees still tried their best to open their eyes in confusion, pouring coffee down their stomachs, and fetching relevant documents and records according to the requirements of their superiors.

The Soecerous Sacrilege Ligation is the most authoritative and largest magic association group in the United States. It is a government agency established to investigate events related to magic and supernatural phenomena and to hide relevant information.

The SSI Los Angeles branch is the largest institution in the United States, and it is more famous than the headquarters in Washington.

It's all because the city of Los Angeles is very unusual. It is known as the devil city of crime whirlpool, a metropolis where depravity and prosperity coexist and compete.

In this chaotic city, there are people who deviate from the principles of the world and live in seclusion. They are the supernatural beings who sell their ethics and conscience to the devil to obtain supernatural magic power, that is, magicians.

In North America, warlocks are the mainstream, and kind magicians and conjurers are a very small minority.

The reason is the extremely rampant witch hunting incident during the British colonial period, the suppression of the new Christian sect priests who immigrated from Europe, the struggle and agreement with the indigenous elf belief, and many other events that were buried in the darkness of history.

This is also the reason why the other ancient godslayers were too lazy to recruit North American magic association forces at the beginning. Even the godslayers want to save face. Who wants to have a group of unworthy sorcerers under their hands?

Even the relatively backward South American magic world is much stronger than North America.

The reason why warlocks flock to Los Angeles is because they are looking for the 'Angel's Remains' buried here hundreds of years ago, a holy relic that can bestow enormous magical powers on the heirs.

Just when the magicians turned the city upside down, their natural enemies appeared six years ago.

【Pluto】John Pluto Smith.

This masked hero who walks in the dark spares no effort to fight against magicians and criminals, even if there will be some sacrifices in the process, it is because he needs various sacrifices when he uses his powers.

There are sacrifices that hinder the life of citizens, and there are sacrifices that are as bloody as living sacrifices. The people of Los Angeles endure such sacrifices to support the black heroes in their battles.

Just like paying taxes in order to be protected by the [King], to submit to his character and abilities, citizens also have to fulfill their duty to pay taxes.

SSI is also among the supporters and is proud of it.Just like the martial arts king ruled China and the sword king ruled southern Europe, Pluto also brought North America into his sphere of influence.

"Boss, you want us to search for all the outsiders who entered Los Angeles within three days, and it's very difficult for us." Some staff couldn't help complaining.

"Yeah, Los Angeles is so big, and we don't give a specific mark to identify the target... Even if you tell us if the target is male or female?"

Hearing the complaints from the group of idiots below, the old man couldn't help being furious, and threw the folder at the complainer closest to him: "A bunch of bastards! It's rare that Pluto asked us to cooperate with SSI in investigating some things. This is to help the dark Great opportunity for a hero, do you have any complaints! Huh?"

As he said that, he pointed his finger at the male employee whose head was hit by the folder: "You! Two years ago, your parents were blocked by a magician in the alley and almost used as living sacrifices. Who saved them?" ? And you, your sister was taken captive to the magician's lair, who single-handedly broke in and rescued everyone?"

The more he talked, the older man slapped the table loudly: "Everyone is an idiot, I can tolerate that, but I can't bear the fact that my subordinates are all white-eyed wolves! If you bastards don't have the ability to do this, get out of here!" , I have the cheek to borrow someone from another department to continue the investigation! If you don’t want to do it now, get out!”

No one left, even the employee who was hit on the head by the folder just touched the place where he was hit, then lowered his head and continued typing.

For the people of North America, the mysterious Pluto is neither a tyrant nor a faint king, but a superhero worthy of respect and worthy of their full support.

The intelligence room fell into an eerie silence, except for the sound of typing on the keyboard and clicking of the mouse, there was only the sound of the old man's still breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly raised his hand: "BOSS! Take a look at this!"

The old man stood up immediately, first moved his stiff legs and feet, and then limped over.

On the screen is a recorded video, judging from the clarity and scene, it seems to be the corner of a certain street.In the center of the video, a diminutive girl with twin ponytails in a jacket and hot pants is chewing gum as she walks across the street.

Suddenly, she stopped, looked up towards the camera, smiled and raised the envelope between her fingers.

The next moment, she took out a pistol out of nowhere and pointed the muzzle at the camera.

The screen turns into a snowflake.

The envelope... the old man frowned: "Where is this?"

"Luce Felice, the rich district."

Hearing the location, the old man had no doubts, and immediately ordered: "It's her, immediately start tracing the source."

The order was issued to everyone present, and since they had a definite target, everyone acted several times faster.

But the conclusions they reached surprised them, even dismayed them.

"It's very strange. There are only three cameras in Los Angeles that captured pictures of her. One is the wealthy residential area of ​​Luz Felice just now, the other is the entrance of the dessert shop MELOMELO in the city center, and the other is the exit of Los Angeles International Airport. "

"What about inside the airport?"

"No camera information related to the target was found."

Hearing this strange summary, other people gathered around and started chatting.

"Could it be a magician's spell? For example, cover the camera or transform into someone else's appearance?"

"Impossible. Now Los Angeles International Airport is set up with a spell barrier. Once someone casts magic inside the airport, an alarm will be issued."

"Could it be a ghost?"

"Have you ever seen a ghost go to a dessert shop to buy a bowl of coconut jelly?"

Regardless of the endless debate among his subordinates, the old man just carefully observed the appearance of the young girl in the center of the screen.

With a typical Caucasian appearance, the color of the pupils is wrong, which may be due to wearing colored contact lenses, or it may be affected by a spell.The clothing worn does not have any trademarks, which means that the source cannot be traced.

Forget it, the suspicious target has been found, and the rest needs to be reported to Pluto for him to judge by himself.
