A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 202 146. Hunting
"'Angel' can accurately appear when the target is alone every time, which shows that he has a reliable source of intelligence."

"So we don't really need to do any additional operations, just get Mr. Roger off duty from the police station as usual and set up ambushes along the way."

"The only difficulty is to prevent the 'Angel' from noticing the abnormality... so the personnel we choose must be as streamlined as possible."

"Anyway, maybe we only have this one chance."

Although Cruise is the team leader, it is Reese who is responsible for the entire arrangement.

On the one hand, this is because the latter is more familiar with the entire incident, and on the other hand, it is also because Cruise intentionally transferred command to other people in the team.

Well, I hope he's not being lazy.

In any case, the capture of 'Angel' officially began at six o'clock in the afternoon.

Levi spread out a newspaper and sat alone on a bench not far from the police station. In order to prevent being suspected by the angels, all people participating in the roundup must take their seats in advance.

Levi pretended to read the newspaper casually while aiming at the door of the police station.

He looked the same as usual, and even said hello to other police officers, but if you look carefully, you can see that there are a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

"Then you have to pay attention to your safety. Several police officers have been killed."

A small eyeball flew over secretly at this moment and leaned next to Levi.

Their conversation was also arranged to dispel Angel's suspicion... although I don't know if he could hear it.

"Roger, aren't you going with Drake today?" asked another police officer walking by.

"Angel"...

About ten minutes later, Officer Roger walked out of the door.

"No... no, I have to go home early today and can't go to the pub with him." Roger said sweating.

He was already familiar with this thing. It was Reese's floating magic eye.

It sounds complicated, but it's just moving backwards in sequence.

He originally thought that Li Wei would be a great help if he could come, but he originally thought that Li Wei did not like to participate in political-related actions.

"Okay, the same goes for you." Roger said.

In fact, he was right. Levi originally planned to focus on finding the butcher Eli.

After that, they separated. The police officer and the other man walked towards the tram stop, while Roger approached along the road in front of the police station.

"There is nothing wrong with Roger. He is passing through the first section of the area according to the predetermined plan." Levi watched Roger walking in front of him and whispered, "I didn't see anyone following him. Let the team leader prepare."

Reese's plan divided the journey from the police station to Roger's house into several short sections. Each section was monitored by a group of members. But after Roger passed this section, he notified the members of the next group, and at the same time, the group moved Go to the next section to assist.

Reese was slightly surprised that Levi wanted to participate in capturing the angels, but he didn't ask any more questions and quickly agreed to Levi's request.

The magic eye swayed up and down very humanely, and then flew away.

Levi stood up. At this time, Roger had reached the end of his field of vision, so he rolled up the newspaper, tucked it under his arm, and walked in the other direction.

Until he saw the "idea" in that pearl necklace, or to be precise, in a few of the pearls.

Pearl couldn't have ideas, no doubt about it.

Then there is only one possibility, that is not a pearl, but some kind of creature, or to be more precise - an insect egg. Levi made this association the moment he saw the pearl. He had seen descriptions of many insect monster eggs in Reese's notes, many of which looked similar to pearls.

Butcher Eli spawned after being seriously injured by us?

Um...it sounds a little strange, but that's probably what it means.

The next thing can be explained clearly. The butcher Eli's eggs got mixed into Henry's pearls for some reason. One of them probably hatched at this time and killed him.

Levi recalled the wounds on Henry's body. Most of these wounds were concentrated on the upper body and were small and fine. They were completely different from Eli the Butcher's previous style.

As for the brain being eaten away... is it because the newborn larvae need some kind of food in the brain as nutrients?

Of course, this alone was not enough to make Levi suspicious of "Angel", a seemingly unrelated person, until Levi saw clearly what was thinking in those pearl insect eggs.

It was a short string of two words: "Gray. Eli".

In an instant, Levi's brain exploded.

……

Roger swallowed and walked alone on the empty street.

In fact, this street is not that empty. There are not many people coming off work, forming small crowds on the street.

But Roger felt that the gap between them had never been bigger than it was today. It was as if he was standing alone in an empty square and could be recognized at a glance.

It's as if I have become a prisoner... Roger teased himself and subconsciously looked up at a nearby building.

Miss Westin was up there, her sniper rifle always on standby. Once the "Angel" broke through the other people's defenses, she would shoot to stop him.

Miss Westin's shooting skills are not bad, which may be the only consolation.

Roger thought this way, tightened his grip on something in his hand, and struggled to lift his legs and walk forward.

The reason he considered himself a possible target came from his experience as a young man, when he was a liaison to a gathering of wizards.

However, he was not honest at that time. Relying on his identity as a liaison, Roger carried out many disgraceful hunts when other wizards were unprepared.

Until he was discovered after a hunt and became a target.

It was after this time that Roger, seeking asylum, had no choice but to call the police, and he became involved with the authorities from then on...

Perhaps from then on, Roger was already on the "Angel" hunting list.

……

"There is nothing wrong with Roger, he has passed the second area." Cruise, wearing an old shirt, said to the magic eye, and then set off for the fourth area.

The magic eye flickered and flew towards the third area.

The person guarding here is the same Giese from before. Although Reese had concerns about him, considering the lack of suitable manpower, he still agreed to take part in the operation.

The visual range of the magic eye is not large, and it took Reese a while to control it to fly to where Giss was. It was a cafe with transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows and a wide field of vision.

Giese was sitting at the door. Seeing that the latter did not move, Giese, who was far away from the battlefield and commanding, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
