Chapter 54 54. Well, forget it (4000-word chapter, please read and invest)
after one day.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you made half of the city go crazy, you are just..." Mr. Cruz slapped something on the table.

"Genius! No, madman!"

"Forget it, who knows? Anyone who has been a wizard for a long time will become a little crazy."

This was the interrogation room on the second floor of the North Beach Police Department, but the person in front of him had become Mr. Cruz.

Now that the place has been commandeered by BOI, the Snowden quartet were invited to the first floor for tea, with someone watching them.

Levi looked at the two people in front of him: a very good-looking young woman with black hair, who just introduced herself as Field Westin, a BOI investigator, and the other was Mr. Wilson Cruise.

"Maybe." Levi lay on the interrogation table and said boredly, "So can you please remove this thing and the handcuffs for me? You know I just destroyed some drugs, and I'm not a chainsaw murderer."

At this time, Levi was interrogated by two people as a prisoner. He was wearing a black and white striped prison uniform, a collar around his neck, and his hands were handcuffed.

This collar seems to be some kind of prop that suppresses the power of witchcraft. Wearing it, Levi cannot feel the system and cannot use space. Speaking of which, he didn't know the reward for killing Pablo yesterday. After beating Levi, he passed out and didn't hear the sound of the system. When he woke up, he was already in the cell with this collar around his neck. .

What a pity, because the day before yesterday he was still an external employee of the police and a good friend of Mr. Cruise.

"Do you know how much impact you have caused?" Mr. Cruise knocked on the table and said, "Not to mention that the fire you set almost turned into a fire. Half of Oakland was high! Some people were driving Driving a car, my mind wandered and I hit a street light. Some people were driving a boat and hit a pier or a rock. There were countless car accidents and boat accidents! Some people jumped into the sea and drowned themselves. Dead; some jumped into the train tracks, some jumped from upstairs, some self-mutilated, committed suicide, killed others, killed others and then committed suicide..."

"The casualties you caused are not much less than those of 'Ely the Butcher'!"

"Yes..." Levi sighed.

"What's more important is the hidden problem. Who knows whether this incident will make the drug problem more prevalent in Auckland. Even if only one in a thousand people in Auckland is addicted to this matter, you are equivalent to adding more drugs to Auckland." Two hundred drug addicts.”

"There is still some poisonous gas that has reached St. Francis. This can't be hidden at all! Congress and even the president found out about it a few hours later. Now, the entire American political arena has turned its attention to California, and the judiciary The Ministry of Justice ordered us to arrest you immediately. You must know that we were investigating Butcher Yili before, and you are now a higher priority than him in the eyes of the Ministry of Justice!"

Mr. Cruise finished a series of words excitedly, then sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"However, thanks to you, the Toltec family was completely wiped out with almost no resistance. The three deputies Guzman, Freni, and Hared were all arrested. Only the patriarch Gallardo and a man named O Gioia's escaped, and they probably hid somewhere under the protection of the Metalia family."

"Senator Richard and the Robbins family said that they have cut themselves off from you, and they have become big winners. No one can accuse them of your reckless actions as an outsider. Instead, annihilating the Toltec family has earned them money. It’s enough for political prestige.”

"Also, Metalia's matter has been brought to the surface. No one has wanted to take the lead in this matter before, but because of your actions, everyone has to deal with it. The Metalia family has been deemed illegal , they were wanted. Oakland was freed from their control, and then the California government could manage it easily, and maybe it would gradually develop in the future."

"It's really crazy," Cruise lamented. "The crazy things a madman does destroy other madmen, so that a crazy city is rescued from madness and begins to face other crazy things."

"Indeed." Levi said, what could he say?

At this time, Field, who was sitting aside and listening quietly, smiled.

"It's like," she said, "It's like a guy burned down a forest, allowing the animals in the forest to see the warm sunlight. In the process, countless bugs on the humus were burned to death."

……

"What will happen to me next? Are you concerned about the wizard's prison?" After a moment of silence, Levi asked.

"Yes, but it's confidential," Mr. Cruise said.

"But you have already 'crossed the line'... But it's not serious. During the time you were unconscious, we retrieved your information." Mr. Cruz picked up the documents on the table and flipped through them. Said, "I'm surprised you're from Bridgewick?"

"Yes." Levi suddenly realized that the "businessman" had also been arrested, "Isn't this illegal? I didn't join the gang over there."

"Of course, but, hehehe..." Mr. Cruz said three words of unknown meaning in a series, and then asked suddenly.

"You have always kept a low profile in Bridgewick before. It seems that you have only lived as an ordinary construction worker for two years, and you had to leave because you became a hunting target for gangs to improve your rating, right?" Russ asked, "I thought you were a person who didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Why did you take the initiative to get involved in the affairs of Metalia's wizard army?"

Levi lowered his head and fell silent.

"I don't know either."

"When I was in Bridgewick, I didn't have enough capital...and my identity as a wizard had been exposed at that time. The Bridgewick Gang regarded me as prey. At that time, I couldn't even protect myself. No way to care about others anymore.”

Levi said that at that time, he even had to search for materials to buy medicine.

"But after I came to St. Francis... no one knew that I was a wizard, or who I was, or where I came from. I felt safe, so whether I went undercover or went to save Martha, I got the guts to do those things.”

"But more importantly..." Levi put his hand on his chest.

"Something in my heart is forcing me to help others..."

After hearing Levi's words, Cruise lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

But Miss Field snorted and couldn't help laughing.

"You mean a sense of justice?"

"Yes, maybe." Levi nodded.

"Hehehe... you have a sense of justice..." Field smiled and shook his head, "Like an immature story protagonist, by the way, you are like that... Don Quixote, yes, what a fool."

"But it would be nice if there were more fools like this..."

"Okay, Field." Mr. Wilson Cruise said to Field, then turned to look at Levi.

"I have a question, Lee," Mr. Cruise said. "Do you really know what you're doing?"

Levi thought for a moment, opened his mouth, then closed it again, and did not speak for a long time, as if this was a difficult mathematical problem to solve.

"I don't know." He finally said.

"My heart wanted me to do something righteous, but after I burned the drugs, I felt confused. Did I really do the right thing? Is this the kindness and justice I pursue?"

"Maybe, maybe I should stand by and keep escaping, escaping from one city after another, and not get involved in these things. This is the way to not do anything wrong, but I can't do this. When I see a person in poverty , I wanted to help him, but the things I used to help him were obtained by hurting others..."

"I sold drugs and got the money to support Charlie, but drugs were the culprit that corrupted his father."

"I didn't want to sacrifice Martha, so I went to save her, but more people died."

"I...I'm very, how should I put it, I'm very confused, yes, I'm very confused, Mr. Cruz, what on earth am I doing?"

Mr. Cruz listened quietly to Levi's words. He pondered for a moment, finally shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You're right, everyone has this stage." Mr. Cruz spoke.

"Levi, I can't tell you anything. You need to experience it yourself. You need to see more things. Look at this forest. I'm not just talking about the wizard's world, but the whole world, whether it's glorious or dark. , you have to read them all before you understand what you are going to do." "I have a proposal, Lee." Cruise said with a smile.

"Do you want to join BOI? This is the only way for you to continue to see the world, otherwise you will go to jail and you will never be able to see anything from now on. I don't want a young man like you to end up here. .”

"Join... BOI? Can I?" Levi said in surprise.

"Of course, we will select talented wizards who cross the line but are not cruel and recruit them to join. Otherwise, how can BOI develop?" Cruise smiled, "What you cross the line is not serious, and it is objective and objective. "I mean, for the politicians, they're happy that you set the drugs on fire because it means that someone has brutally helped them solve a problem that was very difficult for them."

"They will undoubtedly agree to your joining BOI, so you just need to say it and you can join us smoothly."

Mr. Cruz said warmly, when Field beside him suddenly spoke.

"There's nothing to hesitate about, right?" She hugged her chest and leaned on the chair, saying, "After all, it's so easy to avoid being jailed and get a public office. This is what many wizards who have crossed the line dream about. , and let me tell you a little bit, the wizard's prison is not comparable to other prisons, you will lose your freedom, truly lose your freedom, and you will not even have the freedom to escape."

These words made Levi shudder. What is the freedom to escape from prison? Is it possible that every wizard who enters will be tied into a tortoise shell and hung up?

He looked at the two people, thought for a moment, and suddenly smiled.

"It sounds really scary...don't you have to think about it, right?"

After hearing this, Cruise smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then, we welcome you to join us." He said, "However, before that, we need to take some liquid from you to identify your characteristics and rating."

"Liquid? Blood?" Levi asked.

"No." Field smiled and shook his head while looking him up and down.

Wait a moment, it won't be - Levi's face turned red.

"No." Field's evil smile became even brighter.

"It's spinal fluid."

……

pain!
it hurts!

My waist hurts!
The bizarre dream full of whispers quickly fell into pieces. Levi, who was sleeping soundly, only felt an abnormal throbbing pain in his back, as if he had been severely swung with a stick. No, it was more like a sharp object pierced his spine and was accompanied by stirring!
Of course, this is indeed the case. Levi had just undergone a spinal tap operation. Now that the anesthetic effect was over, Levi felt the pain as if Xiao Ke, the protagonist in the first chapter of Lord of Mysteries, was shot in the head. The pain was so painful that he could not wait to see it. Take out the Susu numbing numbing agent and take a sip.

According to Field, spinal fluid testing is the only existing way to determine the characteristics and rating of a wizard other than witchcraft. Before going to the Fraternity Hospital in San Francisco for surgery, the beautiful lady gently patted Levi on the shoulder and said Don't be afraid, it will be Heinrich Quishaw who performs the surgery on you.

Levi asked who Heinrich Quishaw was, and Miss Field smiled and said, don't worry, this is the founder of spinal tap surgery.

Levi was shocked and asked how old this surgery was. The answer he got was that it had just been promoted the year before last.

He panicked even more.

Fortunately, the old man's sword was still young, so there were no surprises during the operation. Levi was just in too much pain and couldn't move, so he was pushed back to the cell while lying on his stomach.

However, under Miss Field's instigation and arrangement, Levi was pushed into another cell.

Martha Miramon Garcia's cell.

She smiled and told Levi to let him see the girl she rescued and see if she was worthy of Levi doing such a crazy thing.

Anyway, Levi was now lying on a wheeled bed, with Malda sitting across from him.

However, Li Wei felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had planned everything, and the two of them had not actually met much.

After hesitating for a moment, Levi said:

"How are you doing now? How many years did they finally give you in prison?"

Martha lowered her head and said: "There is basically no sentence. They said that I was abetted to commit a crime and that it was an emergency. Mr. Cruz said that my surrender gave California great prestige. In the end, A reduced sentence, not even one year..."

"Really, it's really good." Levi smiled slightly.

Martha slowly looked at Levi. She looked at it for a while, and suddenly tears oozed from the corners of her eyes.

"You know..." she said, "When you appeared in my room, when I saw the whole city falling into madness... I felt... I felt like you were a hero in the Xizhou epic, just like Like a mythical hero..."

After hearing this, Li Wei became silent.

"I... can this be considered a hero?" Levi murmured.

"What I did was not very righteous. Can I still be considered a hero?"

"Even if I sacrifice a city?"

And Martha barely hesitated, she nodded heavily.

"Well, forget it."

Levi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

No, this is not a bitter smile... this is a relieved smile.

He seemed to have found some meaning.

"Levi..." she said, which was the name of Levi she learned from Field.

"Can I call you brother?"

"Of course, just call it that."
