Chapter 1320 I almost didn't come up with a title again
"Progress?"
Modori looked overjoyed.
Don't look at her pretending to be calm all the way, but she is still apprehensive in her heart, for fear that she will hear no clues and no such bad news, even if Modory's whole temperament changes, but how much can it change in one night.
She took two steps forward, and the people around her hurriedly made way for her.
"Uhhhh We tried to find all the people who came in and out of New York yesterday but were unsuccessful. The man thought for a moment and then began to explain, but at the first time, there was some sloppiness.
Even Modory, who was not very proficient in these chores, gave him a blank look, and it was clear that the idea was simply stupid.
As a world-class big city, how many people does New York handle in a day? Not only are mages unable to completely target everyone, but even the most high-end technological surveillance requires a lot of time to identify.
"Then we tried to lock down all the words related to Angomaka, but... Still failed. The man continued.
"Why?" Modori frowned.
It's hard to understand, it's normal for New York to have a lot of people in New York, but it should be easy to just lock in the name Angomaka.
"We didn't find any information about Angomaka, whether it's a person's name, a trade name, an item, or anything else." After a pause, he emphasized, "Not a single one." ”
Magic.
This was Modory's first reaction, and while she wasn't sure what magic could do it, magic was the only explanation.
He didn't mean that there was no information about Angomaka and that its information was obscured, but that there was no information about it in this world, as if the word had been ignored in general, and everyone subconsciously and selectively skipped it.
It's like some kind of taboo that can't be mentioned.
Only magic can do that.
"Then we thought differently again."
"We directly targeted the area of Hell's Kitchen, although we couldn't narrow it down from large to small, and there may be omissions. But after all, this seems to be the only viable option at the moment. ”
"The way of locking mainly depends on the guiding scale."
In the direction she was pointing, Modori looked at the table, where a large map was spread out with an ancient scale, and several mages were busy beside her.
Lead the way. Serious schoolboy Modori quickly recalls what she had seen in Kama Taj.
As the name suggests, this is a magical item used to find things, but its purpose is not limited to finding things.
The three sanctuaries, including Kama Taj, are almost a vast treasure trove of magical items, supernatural items, and loot that have been found by the hermitage over the years.
As the only magical organization on Earth, the Hermitage is undoubtedly powerful, the reserve of magical items is also amazing, and there are almost no external enemies invading the temple. After all, their enemies are all very terrifying external creatures, and the ancient ones always keep them out of the earth, and if the temple is invaded, it means that the earth is almost gone.
Therefore, over a long period of time, the number of magical items stockpiled by the Retreat is very large, and there are not a few high-quality items such as floating cloaks, and of course, some miscellaneous knick-knick-knacks are even more.
But there aren't many mages who can be completely controlled by mages, and who can completely control certain magical items.
Most of these magical items are old relics, some were accidentally found from old houses, some were cut out of unknown ruins, and some were war trophies, and there is no complete way to use them at all.
So there's a lot of stuff. They can only be used by groping, or even unable to open and use.
Magical items are not as dangerous as technology, they are often very dangerous, and even if they are technology, they will inevitably hurt themselves when they are used when their functions are unknown, and some things need to be specially studied.
Lead the way. is one of them.
From the distance that Modoli knows, the origin of the guide Libra is unknown, but the time is very ancient, at least nearly a thousand years ago, and no one knows how it is really used, just groping. I vaguely know a rough idea.
Write the question on a piece of paper and place it on a tray, then tear off the map in small pieces and place another tray on which the tray will rise if the location on the map is relevant to the question, otherwise it will be lowered.
The rise of the tray has nothing to do with the fall and the weight of the material on the tray, it is only a matter of the matter, it is a scale that has been constantized with some kind of spell, it cannot be used to weigh items like a normal scale, and its tray will not even go down if only one side is placed with something.
The mages of Kama Taj have done many experiments where they have put a lot of things on the tray, such as normal small scales. Abnormal blood, animal carcasses, etc.
Although the Hermitage is biased towards the righteous camp, they are not conservative old stubborns, because there are too many magical items of unknown origin, and it is very likely that they are originally evil things, and they need to use so-called evil products such as blood to open, so they don't mind using them in the process of experimentation.
Of course, not killing innocents indiscriminately is still their bottom line.
But the Libra did not react to this, and it was only when the combination of the problem and the map was placed on the Libra that the tray seemed to be fixed there without moving, and it tilted.
In fact, although the magic items in the temple cannot be said to be as numerous as a cow's hair, the scale is definitely not a few, but the number of them is really small when you figure out how to use them.
Because magical items are so dangerous, many things are left unused, and no one dares to try them easily.
The newly discovered magic item to guide the Libra is also a big piece of good news, and it was even specially sent to the ancient one, and after reading it, the ancient one felt that the role of this thing should be much more than that.
The mages tried to keep trying, but unfortunately after a certain attempt, the user lost his hearing at the price, even magic can't be recovered, but after knowing his true origins. No one is trying to try it anymore.
Except for the Guiding Libra, which can use the problem-plus map mode, there are no other modes developed.
But it's enough, at least for now.
“。。 Yesterday's staff change record at Delov's Restaurant, is it here? A mage gathered around the scales quickly wrote down a line of text, placing the piece of paper on one side of the tray and then the half-torn map on the other.
The next moment, the scale on the side where the map was placed slowly rose under Modory's gaze.
"In a locker?" A new piece of paper was placed on it, and he tried to keep onto his target's position, but the scales slowly sank.
After thinking about it for a moment, the mage changed the question again, "The home of the HR director?" ”
This time, the scales are back up.
"On the table?"
The scales rise.
Then, the mage on the other side of the long table didn't need to be reminded, she stretched out her right hand with the suspension ring, and slowly drew the arc of the portal in the air.
The spark and the spot burst at the same time, and a portal the size of a human head appeared in midair.
The next moment, she reached in with her hand, as if groping for her pocket, frowned slightly, and in less than a few minutes she withdrew her hand from a thin folder.
The portal vanished, and only sporadic fires burned twice in the air.
Throwing the folder to another person next to him, just then, the new answer to the question was handed back in.
"The city * material backup library. The specific location is the seventh drawer in the second row on the third floor of the No. 34 bookshelf. ”
With the sound of flames, the portal was pulled open again.
At the same time, on the second floor of the New York paper document library, which has long been an ornament and is usually hardly visited, an arc of light appeared out of thin air, and a hand stretched out of it, groped around, and pulled a bag of documents and materials back directly.
The arc of light disappears.
"The list you want."
The mages worked together very quickly, and the combination of spells and technology made them more than twice as efficient, and they had a list or something in their hands almost in the blink of an eye.
Modori was expressionless, but probably figured out their way.
She's used to being serious, not stupid.
Obviously, some people were in charge of thinking about where there might have been a flow of people in Hell's Kitchen yesterday, and other mages used the scales to lock the position, and then... Open the door and take away.
The latter two should be the most troublesome, if they are replaced by ordinary people, I am afraid that it will take several days to confirm once, and there are many cumbersome steps, but when it is replaced by a mage, it is just a matter of raising your hands.
Although this does not directly target Angomaka as a keyword, or observe the whole of New York so that there are no fish that have slipped through the net, the former cannot do it, and the latter is almost impossible. That's the only way.
"Yesterday's recruitment information for tourists, companies, restaurants, and police stations."
The mage who had answered Modory's question in the first place was still busy in front of the computer, trying to find all the factors that might have been in Hell's Kitchen yesterday.
But this is obviously a bit difficult, although Hell's Kitchen is only a district of New York, but there is a lot of population, and there are many black industries there, maybe those neighborhoods in remote cities are easier to check the flow of people, but here.
The mage obviously knew this, but he had to do it, after all, there was no way out.
Although knowing that they make sense to do so. But for some reason, Modori couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.
But.. Hold back, you must hold back, as the majesty of the senior sister.
Modori told herself.
When will you find a clue like this, just when Modori couldn't help but want to complain, a mage next to him suddenly stood up with a hurried expression.
"I think I might have found it."
At the first sentence, he drew everyone's attention.
"What?"
Without waiting for Modori to ask, the man handed over a document and pointed to a blank space on it.
“。。 Proof of transaction. ”
Modolly probably glanced at the name.,I didn't see it too clearly.,Only a few vague words.,It seems.。。 The backup left over from a certain house after the change of owner, apparently, was taken out directly from the government * by the mages.
"Here." "There's nothing here, it's not normal," he said. ”
"I've checked a lot of records, and the places where I should have filled in my name are blank, which is obviously unreasonable."
It's urgent, and he also knows that now is not the time to sell the guanzi, "It's not that I forgot to fill it in, because... If the name is blank, this contract will not be valid at all, and it will not be possible to make a backup, unless... ”
"Unless it's overlooked."
Modori immediately picked it up.
"The man's name."
Only that word can have such an effect, leaving no name, but also not making people notice the anomaly, and Modoli reacted immediately.
The other mages around were aware of this, and none of the mages who managed to get through the circle were stupid.
"But... Isn't that a little too much? ”
But this is still a bit too far-fetched, and it can't just be an unreasonable empty name, and directly assume that this matter is related to that word, and the next moment, someone will put forward a different opinion.
"I know."
Modori didn't hesitate much, and apparently thought of the question as well.
"But just go and see, even if it doesn't matter. It's nothing. ”
Seeing that there was no objection, Modori immediately counted a few people, then carefully read the information again, and wrote down the name of the trading room*.
"Emily's Cafe, now renamed. Silvertongue grocery store? ”
"Strange name."
"Come with me."
。。。
Yi Huan didn't realize that it wasn't a good thing to have Lucy fake everything too well, because it would obviously leave a lot of clues that could be verified. Follow the clues to find it.
Hell's Kitchen, in a small alley.
A bright yellow aperture emerges, and with sparks, the aperture becomes larger and wider, until it spreads to the length and width of several people.
Modoria was at the strongest, followed by three other mages.
As a few people who have studied in Kama Taj for I don't know how many years, it is naturally much better than Doctor Strange who rushed into the battle before he left the school, although Doctor Strange's talent is high, but at that time he was still a half-ass.
The positioning of the spell is very accurate, and it directly finds a hidden back alley in Hell's Kitchen, even if it is Hell's Kitchen, the alley is empty during the day.
Modory's luck is not bad.,It's not so bad that it just teleported.,Just when someone came out to throw garbage and saw them.。。
Taking off the mage's hood and tidying up his outfit a little to make herself look less weird, Modori looked around and found a direction.
"Let's go!" She whispered.
A few people are here to conduct a preliminary investigation.,If they really find clues related to the timeline change.,They'll do it selectively.,But before that.。。 They are still ready to integrate into the world of ordinary people and act in a low-key manner.
