Chapter 990

One step late!

After several days of continuous tracking and investigation, Maka followed the residue of the magic silk thread to remove many sources of bad luck. By the way, he has found many Muggles haunted by bad luck.

However, because the thread of bad luck will only make Muggles get into some trivial problems, Maka has long focused on those who really died by accident.

Unfortunately, after so many investigations, he found that those missing people were often found by bad luck after someone died around them.

Even if he had followed the magic silk thread several times to observe the timing of their contact with Muggles, he could only see one or two remains with temperature at most.

In other words, no matter how hard he tried, those traces of bad luck could not help him capture the moment when the Muggle dead died.

After all, he is always so late.

"Is there no clue about this man?"

In a Muggle fast food restaurant, Maka is squatting in the counter, carefully examining a waitress who has been killed by customers. On the outside of the counter, Sirius took back the wand that had just cast the forgetting spell and the expelling Muggle spell, and asked without looking back.

Because he knew that makado would not find anything from the body this time.

Sure enough, Maka quickly stood up and nodded gently.

"It won't work like this... The number of Muggles dead is still increasing, so we have to find a way out as soon as possible." he frowned. "Even if we don't have a clue, at least we have to control the momentum first, otherwise I'm afraid there will be further panic on the Muggle side."

Hearing this, Sirius thought:

"What about the 'source of bad luck' you said? Just put it aside for the time being?"

Since the spread of those bad luck will not directly cause death, it is no longer in a hurry to clean up... However, Maka never dared to slack off easily.

"No one knows if it is just an illusion at present. After paralyzing our attention, it will lead to a worse situation..." he shook his head. "Moreover, at present, except me, you can't feel the existence of those magic residues for the time being."

"What about that?" Sirius frowned. "Or... I'll find as many people as possible to make up for the lack of clues?"

"The efficiency can't be improved much. No matter how many people we find, we can't keep an eye on tens of thousands of people inside and outside London. Besides -"

In the middle of it, Maka thought it over in her mind, and finally nodded her head.

"Forget it, you're right. Up to now, stupid ways are also ways... Don't look for people. I'll let my little guys take a walk!"

For a long time, Maka has regarded the alienation of the eight eyed giant spider population as a quantitative advantage. Every time he needs manpower, he will send small spiders to disperse.

For example, in Haifa City, spiders, large and small, even once occupied the whole city.

However, now he is in London, and the floor area alone is enough to equal more than 20 Haifa cities!

Plus, it's obviously impossible for him to make the little guys return to normal size this time. In this way, they can play a smaller role.

"... little guys, go and observe the Muggles in the city! Once you find any signs of black magic, come back and tell me... Go!"

While releasing a large number of spiders, Maka also gives them a short-term stealth effect. As long as they are scattered and separated, they will not be noticed by Muggles.

In the end, Maka still pondered:

"I'm afraid this is better than nothing."

……

As Maka expected, he still didn't get any valuable clues in the whole afternoon after releasing the spider.

Seeing that it was dusk, and soon it would be dark again, Maka could not help feeling a little bored.

Today alone, there are more than 20 unrelated murders on the desk of the head of the task force in Scotland Yard. In fact, the actual new cases tracked by Maka are even more than this number.

In the east suburb of London, Maka was hurrying along by a park - he had chased the new vestige of magic in front of him for nearly half an hour. According to the experience of these days, he should soon find another "source of bad luck".

But at this time, he suddenly stopped moving forward, turned his head and looked into the air.

"That's... What?"

Probably because the thing floating in the air was too high, and the sky over London was covered with clouds as usual, so that he could not rely on magic perception, and it was difficult to distinguish what it was with his eyes.

If it weren't for the evening when the red sunset dyed most of the western sky, he wouldn't find anything even if he kept staring there.

Even at this moment, he just accidentally noticed the faint gray shadow.

But even so, Maka, who is currently lacking clues, can't let go of this little possibility.

But seeing that he didn't say a word, he directly threw down the magic residue that had been tracking for nearly half an hour, put on the magic body spell and pedal the magic book, and suddenly rushed straight to the high altitude.

Observation on the ground often leads to a deviation in the judgment of things flying at high altitude. When Maka chased closer all the way, he found that the speed of the gray shadow was much faster than he estimated.

Fortunately, his speed is never slow.

I saw Maka squatting down in mid air, holding the magic book with one hand and waving back with the other hand. Suddenly, he was like a shell just out of the chamber, with an amazing speed.

Closer, closer

In just a few minutes, he followed the gray shadow, flew over the suburban area for more than ten miles, and followed it all the way to a wide lawn.

But just as he was about to see what the gray shadow was, a large group of creatures composed of flames attacked him laterally. For a time, the hot air wave forced him to stop the momentum of the rush.

"Hula -"

The cold current containing cooling rules appeared around Maka, carrying a large number of ice crystals formed by condensing high-altitude water vapor, and washed away to those flaming creatures.

With the roar and explosion of a cold and hot attack, the diffused air blew Maka's robe hunting.

"Haier Bo, you finally appeared..."

He got up from the magic book, and there was a magic wand in his right hand. Seeing him standing against the wind at this high altitude, an extraordinary momentum was immediately spread intentionally or unintentionally.

"I don't know. Have I been looking for you for several days?"

Although we didn't immediately find out where Haier Bo was, we could feel the general direction. Since he can't feel the exact location of the other party at the moment, it shows that the old man is still a long distance from him.

"How many days have you been looking for me? Maybe... But I think it's not a good time to meet now... Don't you think?"

Halber didn't show up, only his voice echoed gently under the sky. Even though the wind was strong in the high air, it did not prevent his words from accurately reaching Maka's ears. Every word was extremely clear.

Maka looked at the direction where halbo was vaguely located and pulled the corners of her mouth expressionless.

Even if there were a large group of flame creatures circling and dancing in the airspace around him, almost surrounded him, he was still unmoved.

"Of course I don't think so," he said coldly. "To tell you the truth, don't mention the time of meeting... In fact, I don't want to see you at all, let alone what you're doing -"

"But who makes you secretly ill intentioned all day? Do you have to toss something out to be happy?"

"Oh, so long as I don't do anything safely, won't you come against me?" Haier Bo's voice rang again, "although my intention is not to fight with you endlessly. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it can't be as you and I want..."

"What do you mean?"

This was the first time Maka heard the clear intention of avoiding war from halbo, and he immediately asked.

But when Maka asked this question, halbo immediately said:

"It's not interesting... Only those who understand will understand. If you don't understand, I don't seem to have any reason to tell you it - it's not good for me!"

At this point, it seemed that he didn't want to talk to Maka anymore. It was the next second that Maka found that the surrounding flame creatures suddenly returned and accelerated, and rushed towards him.

This scene is not the first time for Maka. I think that on the day when Haier Bo just got out of trouble under the bewitching monument, he planned to end with this hand and solve Maka in one fell swoop.

Now, after changing his body again and again, halbo can finally control so many flame creatures at the same time.

In an instant, Maka felt a sharp increase in pressure around her.

It can be clearly felt that the flames transformed into various creatures are not ordinary fires. They are also the products supported by the power of first-class rules.

Compared with Maka's cooling rule, halbo's magic is obviously higher in skill.

"Bang!"

At that time, Maka raised his staff and controlled the huge cold current to form a majestic ice crystal hurricane, which managed to resist the attack of flame creatures.

However, defense is not a long-term plan.

But in the next moment, Maka suddenly felt that a magical turbulence suddenly appeared behind him, making him turn around all of a sudden.

"Who!"
