The Mysterious World Under Steampunk
Chapter 150: See the future
According to the time recorded in the book, it can be concluded that dense fog has already formed in the forest. Although it is not the time when the dense fog is strongest, in terms of the degree of danger, it has been more than ten times higher than a few days ago. There was also a lot of tension inside, and the urban guards had begun to send people to patrol the walls.
If Leo wants to go out of town to kill the spirit of dreams, it is very important to know in advance what kind of dream spirits will be encountered, what method will be used to solve the fastest, etc. The information will be very important, and Peter Alcott’s study There should be books he needs.
At this time, Leo began to pay attention to Peter Alcott's collection. When he handed him the house key, Peter Alcott emphasized his collection in his words, which shows that he is interested in the books in his study. Abundance is very confident.
In fact, Leo also feels that Peter Alcott’s self-confidence is not untargeted. There are two such study rooms in this apartment building, and the books in the study room correspond to the mechanics and occultism of this world. The number of books in each study room is not very large, roughly calculated, about a thousand books, but each one is a kind of big man with a wide palm. His experience of acquiring books in these days can be found that these The content of the book probably covers all aspects of the entire dream world.
Although each book has a lot of traces, the pages and covers are very new. It can be seen from these old and new levels that these books are not originals, but printed copies.
Although only copy books, the value of these books is not low at all. According to Leo’s two days of experience, the books in each study are enough for any book merchant to earn a worthwhile net worth.
Putting books of such value in an empty house in a mixed urban area such as District 23 shows that Peter Alcott is very confident in the institutional facilities in his house. This can be seen from some imperceptible blood stains on the ground It can be seen that a lot of people have become trapped prey.
Leo can be sure that if he is not using the key to open the door, then at this moment he will also face the endless institutions in the house, just like now when he pulls out a species classification atlas from the shelf, there are at least five places The deadly institution aimed at him.
Leo was well aware that all deadly weapons in this building had the firing device removed when he inserted the key, so he did not care about these weapons, but focused all his attention on the book in front of him.
Just like the books acquired these days, Leo did not carefully study the books in the room, but swallowed them and quickly included all the books in the vice brain database.
When the golden area representing the active period was illuminated on the time ring of the town on Seventh Lake, the silent city also became noisy, and Leo also spent nearly an night to put all the All books related to pharmaceuticals and pharmaceuticals are recorded in the database.
Leo did not continue to record the materials in the other two study rooms, not because he was too tired and needed to rest, but because he was interrupted by other unexpected things.
Soon after the golden light of the event lighted up, someone knocked on the door. When Sophie went down to open the door, Leo had checked the situation with the spirit net in the room upstairs.
He found that the person who knocked on the door downstairs was a young man in the costume of a city guard officer. This person had obvious traces of ancestralization, only because his ancestralization and his thick long hair perfectly blended in Together, so it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, most people will regard him as an ordinary person.
Although this young man tried his best to imitate the attitude of the nobility, but some of his detailed movements revealed that he should be from the market. However, it can also be seen that this person's ability to do things is very unusual, otherwise it is impossible for such a young man to occupy a place in the officer system controlled by the nobility.
"Who are you?" When Sophie opened the door, the young man was habitually preparing to walk inside, but when he saw the stranger opening the door, he stopped and questioned.
"I, I am Sophie." Sophie looked at this city guard officer timidly. For her, a city guard is already a big man, not to mention an officer, so she was also a little timid and timid. .
The young man looked at Sophie with a scrutiny. Although Sophie’s messy hair hadn’t been combed yet, she had put on the maid costumes stored in the maid’s room downstairs, so after looking around, the young man asked Road: "Are you a maid hired by Peter?"
"Peter?" Sophie was stunned when she heard a strange name. She said, "No, no! I am Mr. Dodd's maid. It is not Peter in your mouth who lives here. You may be wrong. Place."
Hearing this, the youth could not help frowning, and the expression on his face became serious, whispering, "What the **** is this guy doing? Nowhere to go, but let the house live for others?"
"Sophie, please this gentleman." At this moment, Leo's voice passed from the corridor.
Sophie heard that she slightly let her body go, but the young man frowned, hesitated, and then walked upstairs, and soon came to the study. When he saw Leo, there was a look of doubt in his eyes, but there was no other person's disgusted look after seeing a special skin color.
I saw that the young man looked at Leo and asked Shen Sheng, "Who is your Excellency? Why did you live here?"
Leo did not have trouble thinking, so he replied very cooperatively: "My name is Leo Dodd, a trader, and Peter should be a collaborator. Peter temporarily gave this house to me."
"Leo Dodd?" The youth obviously felt a little strange with Leo's surname, and his face appeared blank, but soon he seemed to think of something, saying: "You are buying in the 33rd district these days. The foreign trader with black skin disease in the book?"
"Yes." Leo admitted with a nod.
The young man was silent for a moment, and then asked directly: "Since you are a collaborator of Peter, 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 find you."
The young man seemed a little disappointed. When he was about to turn around and left, his eyes inadvertently saw Leo lying on the table, a book just recorded in the deputy brain database, the look on his face immediately changed, and asked Leo : "Do you understand decomposition?"
"Decomposition?" Leo froze, scanning the books on the table with his eyes. After seeing the title on the cover, he soon understood that the decomposition that the youth said was actually anatomy, so he nodded. Tao: "Know a little."
"Very good!" The youth immediately became delighted, and then said to Leo very seriously: "Mr. Leo Dodd, I now invite you as the chief of the urban security guard, I hope you can help us handle a case ."
"I can help," Leo thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement with the young man's request. "However, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"
"Ah? Didn't I introduce myself just now?" The youth froze for a moment, then recalled, and found that he really didn't introduce himself, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Sorry! I have been too busy with the latest things, I was too busy to forget the general etiquette." He said, he sorted out his clothes, put his chest up, raised his head proudly, and said, "I am the Security Bureau of the 23rd District of the Seventh Lake Town Secretary Marek."
Leo Shensheng asked: "Director Marek, since I have promised to assist you in handling the case, can you now reveal some details of the case and what else do I need to do."
"You must have heard of this case, Mr. Dodd, that is, the recent murders in this city." Marek said solemnly: "Last night, the same murders happened again, but this time it was a death The nobleman, and the heirloom nobleman with inheritance rights in the Nowitzki family, I need you to identify the victim’s body to find out the cause of his fatality and other clues."
Hearing that the other party was going to do forensic work on his own, Leo couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Director Marek, how do you know that I know how to identify a body?"
Marek pointed to the book on the table that had not been collected after opening, and said: "If you are not proficient in decomposition studies, you will not understand this professional book, and with Peter's character, if not with him It is impossible for someone with the same interest to be friends with him, let alone let him entrust this house to you."
Leo questioned: "Did Peter often help you identify corpses before?"
"Yes! He should be regarded as a special adviser of our Security Bureau." Marek explained, and seemed to have misunderstood Leo's meaning, adding: "Please rest assured, as long as your appraisal results have a solution to our case. Help, we will definitely give you enough remuneration, and will not make you busy."
"It turns out so." Leo didn't care about Marek's misunderstanding and smiled, said: "Since this is the case, please ask you to go downstairs and wait for a while. After I prepared some tools, I will follow you."
Marek thanked him, stood up, and went downstairs.
After Marek went downstairs, Leo walked to the desk and saw the leather suitcase on the ground. After opening the suitcase, he looked at the various anatomical tools that had been checked with the spirit net long ago. The look gradually became serious.
When he was in the fish district 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 after Leo, so now this thing is definitely not accidental. 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 said to himself.
In the Commonwealth of the Earth, some psionicists whose life forms have entered the Omega level are more or less able to see some future fantasy through psionic energy. The future in these fantasy may not necessarily be realized, so some people think that these psionicists see It’s just one of countless timelines in the future.
Therefore, the civilizations of the universe at that time mostly used these future predictions only as reference data, and did not consider them important.
However, from the two situations encountered by Leo, Peter Alcott's ability to predict the future is very different from those of the psionics who have advanced to great life. The future he predicted can seem to be realized.
However, Leo also found that the future that Peter Alcott can see seems to be fragmented, because if Peter Alcott can see the complete future picture, then he will definitely give him the key , Mentioned the matter of pharmaceuticals.
But now Peter Alcott does not mention the matter of pharmaceuticals, but only books and tools. Obviously, these two tips are clearly for the books spread on the table and the box of anatomical tools in front of him.
Moreover, Peter Alcott’s ability should also have limitations. He should not be able to control what he sees and how much he sees. Otherwise, with his ability, he will not be just embarrassed now. Status.
Thinking of this, Leo's slightly frowned brow gradually loosened, no longer thinking, picked up the suitcase on the table, and went downstairs.
After arriving downstairs, Leo asked Marek to wait, then walked to the servant's room next door, took a key from the key locker in the servant's room, and handed it to Sophie, saying, "If you come back from home, take This key opens the door. Also prepare a little food, not too much, and don’t go upstairs."
"Okay, sir." Sophie quickly took the key and responded.
Because I cleaned my body and put on suitable clothes, I also sorted out the makeup on my face a little bit, and after eating something, my body recovered, making Sophie look much better than yesterday. UU reading www. uukanshu.com and her slightly restored appearance at the moment also made Leo understand why he had such a strong sympathy yesterday, and even strongly influenced his choice.
Because, Sophie's appearance is very similar to his first love.
"Sir, is there anything dirty on my face?" Sophie asked, seeing Leo staring at his face with a strange look.
Leo turned his gaze, adjusted his emotions, and said, "It's nothing. Go and tidy your hair today!"
When he had finished speaking, he turned and left the room, gestured to Marek who was waiting at the door, followed one by one, and quickly disappeared into the alley.
As the time enters the active period, the color of the street lamps on the main streets of the city has changed to golden yellow, the number of people on the streets has also increased, and some small vendors selling daily necessities are also placed on the streets, so that the original The less spacious streets become narrower.
Probably because of Marek’s uniform, the two of them walked smoothly along the way. It took about half an hour. The two almost traversed the entire area 23 before reaching the area 23. Security Bureau.
