() Woolworth Building, Downtown New York.

This skyscraper, built in 1913, was the world's tallest 55-story building, and was also the seat of the United States Magic Congress.

As long as the correct spell is cast at its gate, you can enter the space for the wizards.

The interior has more than double the building's exterior, and each floor seems so busy. Yes, it's usually very busy here, and it's undoubtedly getting busier in recent times.

At this moment, London time is more than 9 am, while New York time is only 4 am. But now things are tense, there is no doubt that not many people have the mood to go to sleep.

Right on the top floor of the building, in the spacious conference room, the large oval long table was already full of people. As for the recent frequent attacks, almost all who are qualified to speak here have already expressed their views.

Zoe is also a member of the Magic Congress. In fact, in terms of her position, trying to speak here is harder than going to heaven. The reason she can sit and listen here is entirely because of her duties.

After all, she's just a copywriter at the Archives and Records Agency, and sometimes she will also act as a meeting clerk when the matter is significant.

She seemed to control the quill for the shorthand of the meeting seriously, and while not missing any word, looked at everyone here boredly.

Among the wizards sitting around the conference table, there were all kinds of big men. These people have different expressions, and their views on the attack are a little different.

Anyone who has harmed their own interests will naturally show enthusiasm and try to deal with this matter as soon as possible while ensuring their own money and rights.

And those who have nothing to do with their own interests, generally do not care much about developments. What they are thinking about is more about how to take the opportunity to eliminate their opponents.

Of course, there are some wizards who, like her copywriter, have a little meaning of doing nothing. She knows these people, because they are undoubtedly those guys who have no desire for the possibility of promotion.

Well, if you want to ask Zoe if she has thought about promotion or the like, I'm afraid she can only smile with perfunctory.

To be honest, she actually has some kind of unique competitive advantage, because she is born with a stronger talent for ingenuity than other wizards. But helplessly, she hated it.

Because she always couldn't control her ability, she would inadvertently read the thoughts of others. Even if it was only superficial thought, it would cause her a lot of trouble.

Because of this, she has yet to find a suitable boyfriend.

There is a word circulating between the mochi, saying that a woman who is too smart is not always easy to capture the true heart of a man. Zoe has been thinking, maybe this sentence is the same in the magic world, right?

She stretched out her wand and poked the quill, and let it go and dip it in the ink bottle, because the "big men" seemed to have been silent for some time.

The reason why those guys are silent, Zoe understands-just now, Ms. Oprah, the chairman of the Congress, questioned everyone and said nothing.

"... So, did it take too long for the last disaster? What do you think of war?"

Zoe can speak to the chairwoman in the last word of justice-she believes that Ms. Oprah is indeed a down-to-earth president of Congress and a competent chair.

But to be honest, it's useless to be down-to-earth. Ms. Oprah is usually very aggressive, but once it is time to make a decision, she looks a little unsatisfactory.

She was able to maintain it steadily while the entire American magic world was operating steadily, but at this time, she could hardly understand what she could not say.

The reason the big men were silent was not because Ms. Oprah's questioning was powerful, but because she didn't have any good ideas on her own--everyone was clear about this.

After a long time after that, this inexplicably boring meeting was finally over.

Zoe poked the quill with a wand again, and wiped the ink stains on her own, while she wielded the wand to copy the parchment scroll of the minutes with the copy spell.

After completing a series of routine preparations such as handing in, keeping files, issuing, and so on, she slowly left this congress hall with a few rolls of parchment.

No one would come to urge her because her work was done. Although she was ordered to stop all members of Congress from leaving during the emergency plan, she did not matter.

In a short time, the meeting will not open again, and her copywriter can go back to the office to sleep well.

She was not worried at all about this attack-her grandfather had died long ago, and the grandmother who had always liked her happened to go to the province to kiss; as for her parents ... The serious wife and wife, as early as the day she graduated, set off to find a snowman in Tibet in an eastern country!

If she had to worry about something, she might be even more worried about the irresponsible couple, who would freeze to death in the deep snow forest without notice!

Passing along with other colleagues who knew or did not know, Zoe took the magic elevator and returned to her office familiarly.

There are five colleagues in her office. Unlike her, the other four are obviously more motivated than her. At such a crucial time, most of them are running around outside, redouble their efforts for their dying career.

Because of this, she was alone in the office.

She put the things in her arms in the file basket to be processed, and walked straight to the staff rest area in the corner of the office, leisurely cooking hot eggnog.

Of course, alcohol is definitely not allowed in the office, but who cares so much in a laid-back position like Zoe?

As she cooks, she sits in a chair aside and squints her eyes to sleep. After all, it ’s early in the morning, and it ’s too boring to record the meeting, and she feels a little soft.

Sitting on a chair, smelling the smell of milk and cream, she unknowingly remembered the day she had just graduated.

In fact, it didn't take long, almost a year and a half ago.

In fact, Zoe was not passionate about the workplace from the beginning. At first, like other newcomers, she secretly ecstatic to get a job in the US Magic Congress.

But it didn't take long for her to discover that she hated those workplace struggles without smoke.

Because of her special ability, she seemed extremely sensitive to the minds of others. It is very clear in her heart which population is wrong and who has hidden evil.

When she found out that she couldn't find a colleague who could be as heartfelt as her classmates and friends in school, she became interested.

Zoe is a beautiful girl, and she is very popular from childhood. No need to ask, even after she started working, there are still many men who seem to be handsome and funny to talk to her.

However, she just felt like she wanted to vomit ...

Just as she became a little confused in the rich milky aroma, a sudden whisper of a soothing sound woke her up.

"You ... who are you?"

She opened her eyes and suddenly saw the witch who was walking to the center of the office.

"..."

The other person stared at her for a while without a word, and suddenly a terrible dark mist surged on her body, rushing towards Zoe's side.

Zoe knew she was saved by her talent this time. Although she is usually bored with this annoying talent, she now expresses her sincere gratitude.

Just one second before the opponent rushed into the dark mist, Zoe strove to avoid the horrible blow.

"boom!"

While the other was hitting the wall of the rest area, Zoe hurried to get up, ran away and ran to the door. As she ran, she did not forget to stare at the bulging black mist at the same time, keeping her only vigilance.

Because she found that even if the other party was a dark mist, she could feel the voice of the other party's surface.

Given this only advantage, where can she easily let go? The black mist was so fast that she had given up the idea of ​​fighting back with a spell. She has only one idea now, and that is to run!

As long as you can run out of the office, it may be safe.

However, at the moment her fingertips were about to touch the doorknob, she still stared back at her, and immediately swooped to the left, then fell heavily on the document case next to her.

Immediately after, she heard a loud noise coming from behind.

Regardless of the pain under the ribs, Zoe reluctantly turned around and looked back at ~ lightnovelpub.net ~, but found that the black mist directly broke the office door and rushed into the corridor outside.

"Okay ..." she thought, "Whether it's me or he's out-anyway someone must be out!"

But it followed, but it was another question: how did that guy get mixed in?

There is no doubt that it was an attacker in this latest series of dangerous incidents.

She didn't care how the other's inexplicable power came. Compared to this, she cared more about how the other party entered the heavily guarded parliament building.

As soon as Zoe fell to the sidelines of the long case, the silent man who had infiltrated the Woolworth Building rammed in the corridor, slammed the window open, and flew out of the building.

At this point, Maca, who had just arrived at the entrance to Jackson Square, turned around and looked at the flash of fire that suddenly appeared in the night.

That scene seemed particularly clear under the heavy moonlight.
