According to the time recorded in the book, thick fog should have formed in the forest now. Although the fog is not at its strongest yet, the level of danger has increased more than ten times compared to a few days ago. Hushang Town

There was also a lot of tension inside, and the city guards had begun to send people to patrol back and forth on the city wall.

If Leo wants to go out of the city to hunt dream spirits, it will be very important to know in advance what kind of dream spirits he will encounter, what method will be used to deal with them as quickly as possible, etc., and in Peter Alcott's study

There should be books he needs.

At this time, Leo began to pay attention to Peter Alcott's collection of books. When he handed him the key to the house, Peter Alcott emphasized his collection of books in his words, which shows that he was very interested in the books in his study.

The richness is very confident.

In fact, Leo also felt that Peter Alcott's confidence was not without purpose. There are two study rooms like this in this apartment building. The books in the study rooms correspond to the mechanics and occult science of this world respectively.

The number of books in each study room is not very large. According to a rough calculation, it is about a thousand books, but each one is a tome one palm wide. Based on his experience in purchasing books in the past few days, he can find that these

The content of the book probably covers all aspects of the entire dream world.

Although each book has many signs of being read, the pages and covers are very new. It can be seen from this condition that these books are not originals, but copies printed separately.

Although they are just copies of books, the value of these books is not low at all. According to Leo's experience in the past two days, the books in each study room are enough to make any book dealer a fortune.

Placing a book of such value in an empty house in a mixed city like the 23rd arrondissement shows that Peter Alcott is very confident in the facilities in his house. This can be seen from some unnoticeable blood stains on the ground.

It can be seen that many people have become prey in the trap.

Leo was sure that if he had not used the key to open the door, he would have faced an endless stream of mechanisms in the room at this moment. Just like when he pulled out a species classification atlas from the bookshelf, there were at least five.

The deadly mechanism was aimed at him.

Leo knew very well that all the deadly weapons in this building would be deactivated when he inserted the key, so he did not pay attention to these weapons, but focused all his attention on the books in front of him.

Just like the books he had acquired these days, Leo did not study the books in the room carefully. Instead, he swallowed them wholeheartedly and quickly included all the books in his assistant brain database.

When the golden area representing the activity period was lit up on the time ring in the town of Seventh Lake, the silent city began to become noisy, and Leo also spent nearly a night to combine everything in this study.

All books related to medicine and pharmaceuticals are recorded in the database.

Leo stopped recording the information in the other two study rooms, not because he was too tired and needed a rest, but because other unexpected things interrupted him.

Shortly after the golden light of the event period was lit, someone knocked on the door. When Sophie went to open the door downstairs, Leo was already in the room upstairs using the mental network to check the situation.

He found that the person knocking on the door downstairs was a young man wearing the uniform of a city guard officer. This man had obvious traces of ancestral transformation, but because his ancestral transformation perfectly blended with his thick long hair.

Together, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish him, and most people will regard him as an ordinary person.

Although this young man tried his best to imitate the posture of a noble, some of his detailed movements revealed that he should be from the market. However, it can also be seen from this that this person's ability to do things is probably very extraordinary, otherwise it would not be possible.

At a young age, he was able to occupy a place in the military officer system controlled by the nobles.

"Who are you?" When Sophie opened the door, the young man was preparing to go inside as usual, but when he saw a stranger opening the door, he stopped and asked.

"I, I am Sophie." Sophie looked at the city guard officer timidly. To her, a city guard was already a big shot, let alone an officer, so she was a little timid and timid when she spoke.

.

The young man looked at Sophie carefully. Although Sophie's messy hair had not yet been combed or cut, she had already put on a maid's outfit stored in the maid's room downstairs. So after looking at it, the young man asked

Said: "Are you the maid hired by Peter?"

"Peter?" Sophie was stunned when she heard an unfamiliar name. She shook her head quickly and said, "No, no! I am Mr. Dodd's maid. The person who lives here is not the Peter you mentioned. You may have found the wrong one.

It’s a place.”

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but frowned, and the expression on his face became serious, muttering: "What on earth is this guy doing? He disappeared, but he gave the house to others to live in?"

"Sophie, please come up, sir." At this moment, Leo's voice came from the corridor.

Hearing this, Sophie stepped forward slightly. The young man frowned, hesitated, then walked upstairs, and soon came to the study. When he saw Leo, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

look, but there is no look of disgust like other people's look after seeing a special skin color.

The young man looked at Leo and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why do you live here?"

Leo had no intention of causing trouble, so he responded cooperatively: "My name is Leo Dodd. I am a businessman. I should be a collaborator with Peter. Peter will temporarily give this house to me."

"Leo Dodd?" The young man was obviously a little unfamiliar with Leo's surname, and there was a look of confusion on his face, but he soon thought of something and said: "You are the one who has been doing acquisitions in the 33rd District these days.

The foreign businessman with melanosis who writes the book?"

"Yes." Leo nodded and admitted.

The young man was silent for a moment, and then asked directly: "Since you are Peter's collaborator, please tell me, how can I find Peter?"

Leo shook his head and said: "Sorry, I don't know. If he wants to see you, he will naturally go to you."

The young man seemed a little disappointed, and when he was about to turn around and leave, he inadvertently saw a book that Leo had placed on the table and had just been recorded in the associate brain database. The expression on his face immediately changed, and he asked Leo

: "Do you know decomposition?"

"Decomposition?" Leo was stunned for a moment, then scanned the books on the table. After seeing the title on the cover, he quickly understood that what the young man meant by decomposition was actually anatomy, so he nodded.

Said: "Know a little bit."

"Very good!" The young man immediately became happy, and then said to Leo extremely seriously: "Mr. Leo Dodd, I am now inviting you as the urban security chief, hoping that you can assist us in handling a case.

.”

"I can assist," Leo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement to the young man's request, "But shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

"Ah? Didn't I introduce myself just now?" The young man was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized that he really didn't introduce himself, so he said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry! I've been a little busy with recent events.

I was so busy that I even forgot about common etiquette." As he spoke, he straightened his clothes, puffed out his chest, raised his head proudly, and said, "I am the Security Bureau of the 23rd City District of Qihushang Town.

Director Marek.”

Leo asked in a deep voice: "Director Marek, since I have agreed to assist you in handling the case, can you now reveal some details of the case and what else I need to do."

"Mr. Dodd, you must have heard of this case. It's one of the murders that happened in this city recently." Marek said seriously: "The same murder happened again last night, but this time it was a man who died.

A nobleman, and a direct nobleman with inheritance rights in the Nowitzki family, I need you to identify the victim's body and find out the reason for his death and other clues."

Hearing that the other party wanted to do work similar to forensic medicine, Leo couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Director Marek, how do you know that I know how to identify corpses?"

Marek pointed to the opened but not put away book on the table and said: "If you are not proficient in decomposition, you will not be able to read this kind of professional book. And with Peter's character, if you are not close to him,

It is impossible to become friends with someone who has the same interests, let alone let him entrust this house to you."

Leo asked: "Did Peter often help you identify corpses in the past?"

"Yes! He should be regarded as the special adviser of our Security Bureau." Marek explained, seeming to have misunderstood Leo's meaning, and added: "Don't worry, as long as your identification results are helpful for us to solve the case,

Please help, we will definitely give you enough reward and won’t let your work go in vain.”

"I see." Leo didn't care about Marek's misunderstanding. He smiled and said, "In that case, please go downstairs and wait for a while. After I have prepared some tools, I will follow you there."

Marek thanked him, stood up, and went downstairs.

After Marek went downstairs, Leo walked to the desk and saw the leather box on the ground. After opening the box, he looked at the various anatomy tools inside that he had already checked with the mental network.

His expression gradually became serious.

When he was in the fish market of Miria City, Leo met Peter Alcott when he was a child. At that time, he remembered that he could also predict what would happen to Leo in the future, so this incident is definitely not a coincidence.

From what he said when giving him the key, it is not difficult to see that he was talking about what is happening now.

"Can he see the future?" Leo asked himself.

In the Earth Federation, some psykers whose life forms have reached the Omega level are more or less able to see some future fantasies through their psionic energy. The future in these fantasies may not necessarily come true, so some people think that these psykers see

is just one of countless timelines in the future.

Therefore, most of the civilizations in the universe at that time only regarded these future predictions as reference data and did not consider them to be very important.

However, judging from the two situations Leo encountered, Peter Alcott's ability to predict the future was completely different from those of psychics who had advanced to great lives. The future he predicted seemed to be able to come true.

However, Leo also found that the future that Peter Alcott could see seemed to be fragmented, because if Peter Alcott could see the complete picture of the future, he would definitely be there when he was given the key.

, mentioned the matter of pharmaceuticals.

But now Peter Alcott did not mention pharmaceuticals, but only mentioned books and tools. Obviously, these two hints were clearly directed at the books spread out on the table and the box of anatomy tools in front of him.

Moreover, Peter Alcott's ability should also have limitations. He should not be able to control what he sees or how much he sees. Otherwise, with his ability, he would not be just as embarrassed as he is now.

status.

Thinking of this, Leo's slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. He stopped thinking about it, picked up the suitcase on the table, and walked downstairs.

After arriving downstairs, Leo asked Marek to wait, then walked to the servant's room next to him, took out a key from the key cabinet in the servant's room, handed it to Sophie, and said: "When you come back from going out, take it

This key will open the door. Also prepare some food, not too much, and don’t go upstairs.”

"Okay, sir." Sophie quickly took the key and responded.

Because she had cleaned herself up, put on suitable clothes, put on some makeup on her face, and had eaten something to recover, Sophie's face looked much better than yesterday.

And her slightly recovered appearance at this moment also made Leo understand why he had such strong sympathy yesterday, which was even strong enough to affect his decision-making.

Because Sophie's appearance is very similar to her first love in her current body.

"Sir, is there anything dirty on my face?" Seeing Leo looking at her face with a strange look, Sophie quickly stretched out her hand to wipe her face and asked.

Leo withdrew his gaze, adjusted his mood, and said, "Nothing, let's go and tidy up my hair today!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the room, gestured to Marek who was waiting at the door, followed him one after another, and quickly disappeared into the alley.

As time entered the event period, the color of the street lights on the main streets in the city also turned golden, and more people came and went on the streets. Some small vendors selling daily necessities were also placed on the streets, making the original

The less spacious streets become narrower.

Perhaps because of Marek's uniform, the two of them walked smoothly along the way. It took about half an hour for the two of them to cross almost the entire 23rd District before arriving at the 23rd District.
