A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

The next morning.

Levi sat drowsily on the train, his head leaning against the window.

It has to be said that he has hardly gotten up so early since graduating from high school.

It is now half past six in the morning, the sky outside the window is dark gray, a ray of light shines through in the distance, and the train passes through the mist.

Sitting across from them were Field and Martha, who fell asleep leaning against each other with their eyes squinted.

Mr. Cruise, who was sitting next to Levi, looked very energetic and was reading the newspaper provided on the train.

There was no beautiful scenery on both sides of the railway from St. Francis to Redwood. In addition, there were no headphones in this era, so Levi suddenly felt a lot bored.

After staring at the sleeping two people for a while, Redwood's shadow outside the window also appeared from the distance. Levi reached out his hand and shook them awake.

"We're almost there, let's have something to eat."

As he spoke, he took out a few sandwiches from the space. These were bought outside the station. Several people didn't have time to have breakfast, so they bought some to take on the road.

It's just that everyone who was swept away by the idea has no appetite. Field still had his eyes closed, moving his head bit by bit, seemingly chewing and swallowing purely on instinct.

Phoenix's sandwich is very different from the triangular food that Levi remembered from his previous life. It uses a long baguette-like bread cut in half and sandwiched with bacon, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese slices.

By the way, Field didn't ask for pickles and tomatoes, but added some mashed potatoes. She seemed to hate anything that tasted sour.

It tasted good, but a little salty, so Levi took out another pot of coffee and a few cups, and poured everyone a cup to cheer them up.

Fortunately, there were no passengers on the train, so he could use the space so openly.

Not long after, gray buildings jumped into view, the train slowed down, the whistle sounded immediately, and the train platform quickly appeared in front of us.

The brakes sounded, and the train from St. Francis to Redwood came to a slow stop.

……

Several people who got off the train stretched out in unison. The backrest of the train was close to a right angle, and sitting for a long time made people feel useless.

Field yawned, wiped his saliva, turned his head and said, "Next, where are we going?"

"Hamilton Hotel, Reese should have booked a room there." Team leader Cruise said, "Let's go, we have to take the bus again."

It took the four of them a long time to find a large enough carriage. The coachman pulled the reins, and the tall Sharma drove the carriage toward the hotel.

Levi was still looking out the window, curiously looking at the scenery of this new city.

Redwood is more than a little smaller than St. Francis, and even looks a lot smaller than Bridgewick. The roads in many places are still rammed earth, and there are not many high-rise buildings in sight. There are only a few buildings in the direction of the city center, and there are many chimneys emitting black smoke in the suburbs.

Perhaps because of the dampness, the house peeled off one after another as if it had psoriasis, exposing the red bricks inside.

Gentlemen gathered around the streetlights chatting, cigarette smoke rising in the air. There were homeless people on the roadside, wearing thin and frayed coats. They raised their heads and glanced at the carriage Levi was riding in, not even begging for money.

Levi shook his head. So far, except for Taylor Street in St. Francis, he has not seen a second street without homeless people. It seems that this is a common thing in this era.

Soon, the carriage stopped at the door of the Hamilton Hotel. It is a four-story building with a marble doorway.

It was already seven o'clock in the morning, and the sky was a little brighter, showing an Alice blue that was close to light gray.

Walking into the hall, they saw Reese sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and having breakfast.

Cruise walked over and knocked on the table.

The latter raised his head and saw his companions.

"Good morning, I didn't expect you guys to be so diligent at work." Reese greeted.

"You should finish your work early and call it a day." Levi replied and sat down.

Cruise looked around. Redwood is not a very popular city, and there were not many guests early in the morning, so the hall was very empty.

"How's the situation?" After retracting his gaze, the team leader asked.

"I found that guy. I stared at him with my floating magic eyes all day. He has been wandering around the city center these past few days, and the place he visits most is the Checkered Flag Bank in the city center."

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at Martha.

"Huh?" Martha tilted her head.

The other four people looked at each other, and finally Field spoke on behalf of everyone: "Do you think he wanted to rob the bank?"

……

After returning to the room, several people assigned their tasks.

The five investigators were divided into three groups. Levi and Field, two young and strong players, were still responsible for the frontal arrest. Reese was responsible for deployment and command. Mr. Cruise and Martha, two old and young teams, cooperated with Levi and the others. action.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the mission officially began.

Levi and Field wandered through the streets of the city center, waiting for Mr. Gill to show up.

Levi looked around and said it was the city center, but in fact it was not much different from other places. There was a row of Foday cars parked on the roadside and low three- or four-story shops on both sides of the street.

The Redwood Financial Building is set off by these houses, but in reality, it may not be as good as the residential building where Levi lived in his previous life.

Reese's instructions have not yet arrived, and the two of them can only wander around.

"If he really wanted to rob the bank, he really chose a bad time." Field looked around and said.

Several people in the group just discussed this matter. The severity of transgressions varies, and the results of BOI's treatment of these wizards are also different.

If the level of harm is deemed to be low, not only will they not be punished, they will also be incorporated into the public service and reach the peak of their lives. Just like Levi and Martha.

Wizards like Jack Gill who only like to play pranks are not very harmful in themselves (of course the residents of St. Francis may not think so).

But if his behavior escalates to robbery, the nature is different.

Martha's robbery of the bank was an emergency, and Levi's burning of opium was an act of fighting violence with violence. What's the reason for you, the Jinshan drug lord?

As of now, no.

Then the degree of harm to him needs to be re-evaluated.

In fact, just now Reese suggested that we should see what he wants to do before arresting him. Although this is a bit like fishing for law enforcement, it can indeed test out that he is a Phoenix who only likes to give citizens a good life. A good neighbor is also a criminal who is constantly familiar with his abilities and wants to profit from them.

Team leader Cruise thought for a while and finally rejected the suggestion.

The reason is that we don’t know whether Jinshan Drug Tyrant can restore the impact of his witchcraft. Secondly, they are not sure what Jinshan Drug Tyrant will do.

Although he has no record of hurting anyone so far, that was only in the past, and no one knows whether he will launch a sudden attack this time.

However, the danger assessment of this guy must also be taken into consideration. Cruise thought for a while and confirmed the final strategy.

Track and observe first, and catch him before he takes action!
