"Duke White Boots, what's wrong with you?" Leo asked slightly, turning his head towards the White Boots in the hood behind him.
The Duke of White Boots leaned into Leo's ear and said timidly: "I don't know, I'm scared. The smell on that thing scares me!"
"Smell?" Leo froze, walked to the table and picked up the piece. The Duke of White Boots rushed to hide at the bottom of the hood when he saw this, and his body shrank.
Leo put the debris in his nose and smelled it, but he could not smell anything. For this reason, Leo opened the perfect control skills and raised the nose's sense of smell to the strongest state of his current constitution. The smell, including the smell outside the house, penetrated into his nose, letting him easily know who had walked around, what he had done, etc. around the house.
However, it is strange that he could not smell any smell from this eggshell scale, even the Hanover woman who had been in contact with it and the smell of himself.
Suddenly, Leo thought of something and turned on the vision skills. He immediately saw a chaotic psionic energy appearing on the eggshell scales. This psionic energy is not very strong, and it is consistent with the chaotic nature of this dream world, even if Leo holds the shard in his hand, if he does not turn on the Sight, the psychic awareness talent alone cannot perceive from this shard. To any psionic power.
After finding the problem, Leo found an iron box, put the stones in the box, and took it to the room downstairs. Then he asked the Duke of White Boots hiding in the hood: "Is it better now?" "
The Duke of White Boots, who had returned to normal, quickly climbed out of the back of the hood and climbed back to the table. He said with some embarrassment: "I wasn't afraid, I just..."
"I know." Leo didn't let the Duke of White Boots continue, but took the initiative to change the topic: "I came to you to ask, what's going on with the body I just saw?"
"Don't you want me to help you find the murderer?" The Duke of White Boots tilted his head and said suspiciously.
Leo asked again: "Did you see the murderer committing the murder?"
The Duke of White Boots shook his head and said, "No. But I smelled it. The woman's body had that smell."
Leo didn't feel anything unusual when he first heard this sentence. He thought that the Duke of White Boots meant the smell of the murderer on the woman. He was about to ask about other things, but suddenly he thought again and felt like he was missing. What's wrong.
After contemplation, Leo asked tentatively: "Do you mean that the scent originated from the woman itself, not someone else left on him?"
The Duke of White Boots nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I meant. Am I not clear enough?"
"Did I guess wrong before?" Leo couldn't help but wonder, frowning and thinking.
Before, he had guessed what the peculiar smell mentioned by the Duke of White Boots was. Although he thought of it because he came from the world of Velon, he carried the peculiar smell of Velon. But for other reasons, he rejected this speculation. , Instead thought it was because of the body of dreams, and what happened to him in the flower shop just confirmed this speculation.
But now, the Duke of White Boots says that this family woman from the Velon world also has that smell, which makes Leo feel very confused. The things that have been speculated and determined before are also shaken in my heart.
After thinking about it for a while, Leo asked again: "Duke White Boots, have you seen the murderer except for the special smell on the murderer?"
"I haven't seen it." The Duke of White Boots shook his head, and then said sharply, "But I have seen the murderer's back."
"It's good to see the back." Leo heard the Duke of White Boots and immediately found paper and pen, and quickly drew the back of the middle-aged man on the paper.
Before he finished painting, the Duke of White Boots jumped and shouted, "Yes, yes! It's him, this is the back."
After receiving the desired news from the Duke of White Boots, Leo's complexion not only did not improve, but became more gloomy because he found that he had done something wrong before.
While at the flower shop, Leo guessed that the middle-aged man had a corpse in the box, and he also confirmed this through temptations, but for various reasons, he did not think of actually working with him, but let him I left, and did not open the box on the spot. Now it seems that the female corpse just seen may have been stored in the box.
According to the size of the box, if it is a living person, only the child's body can be placed in the box, so Leo will mistakenly think that the body in the box is a child. But if it's a dead person, as long as the posture is appropriate, even an adult can be stuffed into that box.
Leo said solemnly: "Duke White Boots, I want you to help me find this person."
Duke White Boots suspiciously said: "But I haven't seen him, and my little guys don't have the sense of smell like me, and I can't find the special smell on this person."
"It's okay, I'll draw his portrait. You can just let your little guys look for it according to the image." Leo said, quickly drawing a few portraits on the paper, from the front face to the side Face, from all angles.
"You painted really well!" The Duke of White Boots turned around the drawing paper, looking at the lifelike portrait on it with admiration, and said with great anticipation: "Can you also draw me a picture?"
"Of course." Leo nodded.
The Duke of White Boots immediately stood on the table, sorted out the clothes, and then stood with his head upright. When Leo was ready to draw, he suddenly stopped, let Leo wait, and then quickly ran out The room.
After the Duke of White Boots left, Leo also thought that there were some herbs in the secret room of the pharmacy study room on the second floor, so he went downstairs to look for it, took some up, and followed the instructions of the auxiliary brain system. , Grind them into some paint that can be used for painting.
Just after Leo's paint was done, the Duke in white boots with a gorgeous dress and a wide-brimmed feather hat ran in and out. In addition, behind it were several elf rats, who carried a crystal throne and jumped to the table. Under the instructions of the Duke of White Boots, the throne was placed in a conspicuous place, and then the Duke of White Boots did After going up, I changed a few postures. When I felt fit, I nodded at Leo, indicating that I could draw.
Seeing the action of the Duke of White Boots, Leo smiled involuntarily, and then found a piece of paper with psionic power, and painted on the paper with ink specially used to draw the magic circle. Soon the Duke of White Boots was painted on paper by him, filled with the corresponding colors, and then found a few pieces of wood to make a small picture frame, clip the picture on the frame, and handed the Duke of White Boots .
The Duke of White Boots took the portrait and leaned it on his crystal throne. He looked carefully. Although his back was against Leo, he could not see his expression, but it was not difficult to guess from its tail It's in a great mood.
After looking at it for a while, the Duke of White Boots yelled at the elves waiting beside him, instructing his men to lift the crystal throne and the portrait away, and then turned to pick up the portrait of the middle-aged man on the table and curl it up. With the small rope on his back, he said to Leo: "You can rest assured that as long as this person is still in the 23rd district, I will find him soon."
When he had finished speaking, he hurried out of the room, yelling loudly outside the house, and seemed to be carefully handling the two things under his command.
After the Duke of White Boots left, Leo did not stay in the secret room, but returned to the study below, did not read, just made it on a chair, closed his eyes and rested.
In the past two days, he has been studying the knowledge of pharmacy and sorcerer in this world, or he has been dealing with other things without having a good rest. Although there was no problem with his physical condition due to the energy storage value, he still felt a little tired, so he had not reached the time agreed with Marek, he decided to take a rest in this room and relieve his spirit. Tiredness.
After Leo's relaxation, he quickly fell asleep and his spirit entered a dream.
After about twenty minutes, Leo suddenly opened his glasses, and his eyes were full of murderousness. A psionic shock burst from him, turning into a substantial physical shock to flush away the surrounding books and debris. At the same time, the twins on his hand instantly became the pattern of the cross swords, exhibiting the rock and roll of the offensive and defensive in the cross swordsmanship, watching the surroundings with extreme vigilance.
I don't know when, there was a wound on his arm, and blood flowed out of the wound, dripping down the floor of the twin cross swords to the floor, making a rattling sound.
After calming down, Leo's face appeared suspicious, and he looked at his injured hand, his face filled with daze, as if he didn't know why he was doing this, and why his hand was injured.
"Vice brain, showing the physical data after falling asleep." Leo didn't feel the danger around him, so he changed the Gemini in his hand back to the glove mode, re-made it on the chair, and carefully looked at the slowly moving data on the eyeball. data.
The content of the data is not very much. Leo finished reading it soon, but after reading it, the doubts on his face did not disappear, but became stronger.
According to the data above, he just sat in a chair and rested, and nothing happened around him. Any reaction on him showed that he was always in deep sleep when he woke up.
Although the above data does not seem to have any problems, Leo found two abnormalities. The first point is that he just closed his eyes and rested, and immediately entered a deep sleep state, without any such as shallow sleep. The proper sleep process. The second point is that when he woke up, he didn't wait for him to be fully awake, there was a wound on his arm, and it appeared instantly, and it took less than a second before and after.
"What's going on?" Although Leo found two abnormal conditions, he still didn't want to understand what happened to him, why he was injured, and why he suddenly made attacks and defensive actions.
"Search the database for similar records." Leo ordered to the deputy head.
As a large amount of data was compared according to the two anomalies discovered by Leo, a piece of information was gradually sorted out and appeared in Leo’s eyes. Leo was also very attentive to remove the unconnected information, and finally the immediate After only seven messages left, he stopped.
These seven pieces of information all fit his situation without exception. They also suddenly entered deep sleep and were injured during sleep, except that some were injured or scarred while still in deep sleep, while others The scar appeared only after waking up.
It is interesting that these seven materials come from three different places, one is the early subconscious experiment report of the Earth Federation, and two are from the internal journals of the Weilun World Odor Society. This journal records all the countries in the world. Anecdotes. As for the remaining four articles, all from the dream world, these four pieces of information are recorded in a publication similar to the internal journal of the Hearing Society, which records the strange things of each lake town.
What is more interesting is that whether it is the subconscious research experiment of the Earth Federation or the two cases in the Velon world, people are still in deep sleep, and there are scars on their bodies. Only the dream world and Leo have scars. The situation is the same.
In addition, in the case of the Earth Federation, the reason why the person will instantly fall into deep sleep is because of the psionic skills exerted by a powerful psionicist, and the two cases of the Velon World are also the wizards, the four of the dream world. This case has no record of any external participation.
"Is it secretly calculated?" Leo said doubtfully.
It is not difficult to see from these seven case materials that this matter is definitely not something that occurs naturally, and it must be influenced by external forces, and this external force may be witchcraft or psionic skills. Although the four cases of the dream world did not mention the influence of external forces, it is probably not discovered.
Thinking of this, Leo's expression became serious, and UU read books. uukanshu.com immediately appeared in the mind of the middle-aged man. No matter how he looked, the middle-aged man should have already shot, and even the female corpse was probably just to find his bait.
Thinking of this, Leo immediately stood up, went downstairs, and prepared to go to the guard station, and then carefully checked the body, and then talked to Marek about the middle-aged man.
As he was about to leave, Sufi suddenly thought of it in his mind, so he turned and knocked on the door of the maid's room.
I only heard a sound from the door. After a while, I saw that the pale Sophie was sick and wrapped her body tightly with a blanket. Some of them rubbed their eyes when they were awake and asked, " Sir, do you have any orders?"
"Sophie, are you sick?" Leo asked with a frown.
Sophie shook her head again and again, "No, I'm just not used to the beds here, didn't sleep well, and it's fine after two days."
When Leo saw Sophie, he always felt what he should do, but he couldn't remember what to do. In the end, he could only say a good rest to her and turned and walked out of the house.
