A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

The party is still going on, but everyone has turned their attention from business to party games.

Levi gets interested and teaches them about werewolf killing, who's undercover, and truth or dare.

"...Anyway, I pointed the gun at him and shouted, 'Don't move! Put your hands up! Put the projector down!'" Reese, who lost the game, told the story of catching a thief.

"The guy seemed to be scared out of his wits. He raised his hands so high that the projector worth 300 Philippine dollars fell to the ground and shattered into pieces with a bang." Reese took a sip of whiskey and said, "Then his crime was An additional clause of intentional destruction of valuable property was added, and three years were added to the sentence.”

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Only Levi laughed and silently complained that these ancient people from a hundred years ago still didn't know the correct use of truth or dare. It was obviously used for gossip.

"Who's next?" Reese asked.

"Me." Field spread his hands and sighed, "I choose to tell the truth. What do you want to hear?"

"How about telling a story about when you were a kid?" Reese suggested. "You haven't told us about your past yet."

"Well……"

Field was in a dilemma. She hesitated for a long time, and finally looked to Levi, the creator of the rules of the game, for help.

"I really don't want to talk about this. Can I change it to a big adventure?"

This time it was Levi's turn to hesitate. He was happy that Reese was on the road and was gossiping legally.

But after all, the game has to make everyone happy, so Levi nodded.

"I agree, but you still have to listen to Reese. You can't change it this time."

Field nodded gratefully and moved his eyes to Reese.

"Okay." Reese shrugged helplessly, "If it's a big adventure, then..."

He then picked up a glass carafe maliciously and said with a smile: "Miss Westin, what is this?"

"One..." Field was about to answer when she suddenly realized the other party's conspiracy. She frowned, took a deep look at Reese, and listened to the next words.

Then, she cleared her throat and said in a straight and round tone, like the standard Hamptons talk of the announcer on the radio:

"A bottle of water."

Reese said disappointedly: "Hey, don't be like this, our Miss Westin."

"Don't hold yourself back, just pretend you just came to Phoenix from the Hamptons, come on, we won't laugh at you for this."

"No..." Field could tell at a glance that he definitely had no good intentions, but after all, everyone else was looking at her. She hesitated for a moment and sighed once, twice, or three times.

In the end, she said in a low voice, resisting with all her body.

"A BO'OH'O'WA'ER'."

The silence lasted for a second, and no one expected that the first person who couldn't help it would be the clerk in the store.

Then there was a "poof" and Reese couldn't help it anymore, followed by Cruise and Levi.

Levi, who comes from 100 years in the future, certainly knows what this joke is... When the Hampton people say a bottle of water, they will make a very strange sound.

The elegance of Hampton's pronunciation was destroyed from this word, but for Levi, the most interesting thing was to see the shy side of the always generous Field.

In the end even Martha couldn't bear it anymore.

"Damn it, you are so inferior! Shameless!" Amid laughter, Field's face was full of shame.

"Every time I say this, you guys keep laughing. I've tried saying it in Phoenix, I've said it in Hampton, I've said it fast and I've said it slow, I've even tried Inglish, but you just can't get around this. stem!"

"Uh, I'm going to kill you!"

There is a cheerful atmosphere inside and outside the store. Although Levi knew how to laugh at other people's accents, it was a bit unethical for a group of foreigners to laugh at the accents of real native speakers of the language.

But sorry, this meme is really funny...

……

The next day, Levi woke up from his bed.

There was a vague discomfort in my stomach... If it wasn't caused by the junk food I ate last night, then it must be that the whiskey was useless.

Bah, a bunch of quacks!

Levi thought so and made himself a cup of hot cocoa with milk. His stomach still liked this more than whiskey.

Today is Saturday, but it is a pity that BOI does not have a holiday like the high school students in the Foodie Empire a hundred years later. They are indeed far ahead in this regard.

No, that's not right. BOI doesn't have a case and everything is fine. He can go wherever he wants and he has to be on call whenever something happens.

Today was the day when the analysis report on those water ghosts and the lady they rescued the day before yesterday was released. All members of the 004 team had to listen to the report with the state police, so he had to go to the police station.

After washing up and drinking hot cocoa, it was already eight o'clock. Levi walked out of the house and walked along Lombard Street to the familiar North Beach Police Station, eating a piece of bread on the way.

When we arrived at the police station, we didn't see Snowden or the others, so they were probably on patrol. After all, these guys were considered police officers, and they didn't just get paid all the time.

Going up to the second floor, Levi saw the rest of the 004 team here.

He was not surprised why he was the last one to arrive every day, because the four people in the 004 group except him had no place to live and lived directly in the police station.

It's just that maybe due to the influence of yesterday, everyone is a little sleepy. Team Leader Cruise stood by the window lighting a cigar. When he saw Levi coming, he smiled.

"It seems that everyone is here. Let's go to the Central Police Station now."

The North Beach Police Department has its own carriage, which is usually used by police officers, but it was borrowed by BOI today.

The driver cracked his whip and the carriage drove leisurely. After a while, it arrived at the magnificent building of the Central Police Station.

Martha looked up for a while. Unlike others, this was her first time to the Central Police Station—and her first time to enter such a large building.

After verifying their identities, a police officer led several people up the stairs to the second floor, walked through the corridor, and guided them to the last meeting room. The police officer opened the door and made an invitation gesture to them. , and immediately stood outside.

Levi looked over and saw that the police officer obviously had a confidentiality level, but it was not high, probably only 4 or 5. It seemed that he was not qualified to observe the meeting.

After a few people walked in, the door of the conference room closed behind them.

There are already people sitting in the conference room, but Mr. Senator is not here today. The people at the table are Deputy Director Crowley, Leon from the Robbins family, and Dr. Edward Worden.

The deputy director introduced the attendees to several people in the 004 group, and Lyon and Worden also stood up and greeted them respectively.

"Then, let's start the meeting now." Deputy Director Crowley waited for everyone to sit down and said, "First of all, I need to thank the investigators of the BOI. Without your attentiveness and professionalism, we would not have been able to find out about Metalia so quickly. New evidence of what he did.”

"How is that young lady?" Team Leader Cruise asked.

"Unfortunately, we found her too late and she was in a vegetative state."

The deputy director shook his head and said, "We have tried to compare her identity, but there have been too many missing people in this city in recent years. There are nearly a hundred people registered alone. If you count those who have not been found missing so far, , that’s more. And the young lady’s body, including her face, was damaged and her identity could not be confirmed at all.”

"However, we tested her spinal fluid and proved that she is also a wizard, beast type, and the essence is victory. As for the spectrum of the characteristics, it is difficult to distinguish."

"We found similar manifestations in Alia before, but we couldn't confirm it at the time. Now it seems that this is a unique manifestation of the 'mother' wizards. Their characteristics will slowly disappear over time. This may be them. The reason for becoming a vegetative state.”

Cruise nodded slightly and said: "Combined with the phenomenon that the offspring produced by the witchcraft will have the characteristics of the mother, the essence of the witchcraft may be to inherit the characteristics of the 'mother' to the offspring.

"Yes, that's our inference too," Deputy Chief Crowley said.

"Also, we discovered an interesting thing about those water ghosts."

Regarding this chapter, if you don’t know much about this bottle of water gag, you may not find it interesting.
