The labyrinthine alleys of the 23rd arrondissement made Leo feel a little like Cage City, with narrow alleys extending in all directions below, crisscrossed by secret passages above, and countless irregular houses crammed together, leaning on and supporting each other.

However, the difference with the people in Cage City is that the people here all seem lifeless, whether it is a prostitute standing on the side of the street to pick up customers, or a commoner looking for flowers and willows, all of them have numbness and indifference written on their faces.

Perhaps because of the scarcity of guests, the whole city seemed very silent, and the signs of the pinjin nest outlined with special fluorescent juice were also dim at the moment, and the high-class prostitutes who would only stay in the house had to put aside what little pride they had and stood at the door to greet customers.

Led by the woman, Leo walked through the alleys, and although some of the women tried to come up to pick up customers, when they saw Leo's complexion, they all showed obvious disgust and panic, and avoided them.

As for the city guards who were patrolling back and forth, they only looked at Leo, and they had no intention of checking at all, so they directly let Leo walk through the city, which shows that patrolling the 23rd district is just a routine matter for these city guards.

After walking through more than a dozen alleys and walking through at least eight suspension bridge aisles, the two of them soon came to House 11 in the White Mist District.

Peter Alcott seems to like living by the lake, and the house he found in District 11 is right next to the lake, and this secret accommodation in District 23 is also located near the lake.

It's not a good idea to say that the house is on the lake, but it would be more accurate to say that the house was built on the lake.

The whole house is a three-story building, made of similar materials to the surrounding houses, a kind of scattered wood spliced together, looking like building blocks that will collapse at any moment.

The foundation of the house is several thick vines extending from the vine platform, all of which are suspended in the air, some distance from the lake, so the house looks suspended in the air from a distance, making people who see the house and those who live in it involuntarily feel insecure.

"This is a good place to destroy corpses!" Leo's first impression after seeing the house suspended above the lake was not that he had never felt at all, but how to take advantage of the special location of this house.

I have to say that it is best to use this house as a place for the destruction of corpses, those corpses do not need to be carried at all, just cut a hole in the bottom of the house, throw it into the lake, and completely erase any traces.

Before coming to the house, Leo did not immediately use the key given by Peter Alcott to open the door, but first used the spirit net to explore the situation inside and outside the house to find out the environment first.

After some investigation, Leo discovers that the house is in fact a piece of other things, and Peter Alcott seems to have put his mechanical talents to good use, turning the house into a mechanical house.

According to the analysis of the auxiliary brain system, once the steam furnace of the house is activated and enough power is provided to the mechanical devices of the house, the house can be turned into a fully automatic mechanical house, with functions such as automatic laundry and automatic lighting, and there is also an automatic defense system inside the house, which can launch deadly attacks on enemies outside and inside the house.

However, from some details of the mechanical design, it is not difficult to see that this house should be a test subject, and Peter Alcott only used this house to practice and experiment with some mechanical devices, because there are still a large number of mechanical devices installed in the mezzanine of the house, and from the principle of operation of these devices, it should be some kind of transmitter part.

Leo walked to the door of the house, inserted the key into the slot, twisted the lock, and after hearing the click of unlocking, all the oil lamps in the house were activated and lit at the same time, and the steam stove on the top of the house was also activated to power the house.

Leo felt the floor tremble slightly under his feet, and although this tremor was very inconspicuous and difficult for ordinary people to detect, it was actually a deadly trap. If the visitor does not use the key to open the door, but directly knocks them open with external force, the floor in front of the door within a diameter of two meters will become a trap door, throwing the person standing on it into the lake below.

"I ...... I ......" Just as Leo was about to enter the house, the woman leading the way suddenly wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it because of what little self-esteem she had.

"Anything else?" asked Leo, looking at the woman.

"Excuse me, can I stay in your concierge until the next rest?" the woman asked a little nervously, and was afraid that Leo would not be greater, so she hurriedly took out a lake town coin that Leo gave her earlier, and said, "I can pay." ”

Leo looked at the coins in the woman's hand and said, "It's very deserted here, and with the recent murder, basically no one will come here, and you won't be able to wait for any guests here." ”

The woman lowered her head and said softly, "I just wanted to find a quiet place to rest, and I didn't think about looking for guests." ”

Leo could hear the feelings of sadness and despair in the woman's words, and he could imagine that if he left this woman alone, he was afraid that this woman would not survive tomorrow. According to Leo's original character, he would not care about such a thing, there are so many people dying every day in the world, not bad for this one, but the new temperament that arises after merging with his body has given him a sympathy that he has not had before.

Leo doesn't like this kind of sympathy, because it affects his rational judgment of things, but he hates the guilt that comes from not realizing it, which can greatly discourage him.

"Come in!" Leo finally chose to conform to his new personality, which he was not yet fully accustomed to, and let the woman into the house, and after closing the door, continued to ask, "Do you know how to be a servant?"

The woman was stunned, and soon realized that an opportunity appeared in front of her, and quickly nodded: "I know, I know, I used to work as a maid in Baron Osinbot's house for a while. ”

Leo said his thoughts, "I will live here for a few days, during these days, I need a servant to take care of my food and daily life, a daily payment of one Union Coin, if you think it is appropriate, stay!"

"I can, I can. The woman hurriedly replied.

Leo nodded, and then led the woman around the first floor, he had already learned about the structure of the house through the spirit network, he pointed out the location of the maid's room, kitchen and other rooms one by one, and took out ten alliance coins as a household these days and handed it to the woman, and then asked: "By the way, I don't know your name yet." ”

"My name is Sophie, sir!" replied the woman at once, and even changed her address to Leo.

"My name is Leo Dodd, and you can call me Mr. Dodd, or sir, you don't have to call me sir. Leo instructed, "You can stay on the first floor in the future, and when you usually eat, just notify me directly through the bell." ”

"Yes, old ...... Sir!" Sophie was not able to change her words for a moment.

Leo felt that there was nothing left to command, so he turned and walked upstairs, and after walking a few stairs, he suddenly stopped again, turned to Sophie, and said, "In addition, you had better clean up your body, change your clothes, and arrange your hair, and the expenses will be paid directly from the house, and people can overcome any difficulties as long as they live." ”

"Yes, sir. Hearing Leo's words of relief, Sophie lowered her head, her voice a little choked, and replied gratefully.

Leo didn't say anything more, turned around and continued walking upstairs, but the look on his face was not very good.

After walking to the second floor, he relied on his understanding of the house, directly pushed open the door of a study and entered, closed the door heavily, and then walked back and forth in the room, muttering in his mouth: "As long as people live, they can pass any difficulties, what kind of is this! The influence of personality is becoming more and more serious, and the way of thinking and behavior have been affected." Vice-brain, for a first-level personality assessment. ”

As the order was given, Leo saw pages of personality test answers in front of his eyes, and he quickly ticked off the options. This answer sheet is an answer sheet that soldiers of the Earth Federation must fill out after enlisting in the army, in order to judge the soldier's personality trend by analyzing the answer options, so as to decide what department of the army is suitable for him to enter.

When he was in the Earth Federation, Leo, as a cyborg, had a fixed department after enlisting in the army, so he did not accept the evaluation of this answer sheet, but the content of this answer sheet was still preserved in his memory, because as the commander of the special operations team, he had to evaluate the character of the ordinary soldiers who joined him.

Soon an evaluation report with all the options checked was included in the data analysis of the paracerebral system, and it didn't take long for the final evaluation results to be displayed in his eyes.

"Position commander, 90 percent adaptability, Logistics Equipment Department, 90 percent adaptability?" Leo was surprised and understandable when he saw two professions with the same adaptability but completely different combat methods appearing in front of him.

In the personality evaluation report of the Earth Federation, there are also some cases where the results of both occupational evaluations appear at the same time, and the occupational adaptability is as high as 90%, but these cases all indicate that the person being evaluated is in a mental state of split personality and has dual or multiple personalities.

In a certain aspect, Leo is indeed in a state of split personality now, his past personality and thinking are not completely integrated with the original personality and thinking of his current body, so he will make some choices and words that are contrary to the previous biochemical personality, but in line with his own personality.

Before, Leo had already realized this problem, and thought that this was an inevitable stage after the fusion of personalities, and he didn't think it was a trouble, as long as he was careful, it would be fine, but just now he had sympathy for Sophie and took in Sophie, which made him can't help but be wary of the side effects of the personality fusion process at this moment.

Leo doesn't resent the kind of compassion for the weak, because this compassion makes him feel more like a real person now, rather than a cyborg who only thinks about killing each other and completing tasks.

It's good to have compassion, but if compassion starts to affect the way you think and decide what is right or wrong, then the problem is a big problem.

Just now, for Sophie's sympathy, Leo could have given Sophie some money and let her make a living outside, but in the end he chose to let Sophie, a stranger, be a maid, responsible for the diet and daily life that is the most important thing for his life safety, which is obviously too much, and he has no reason at all, and his emotions completely control his reason.

"Vice-brain, analyze the situation, sort out the solution. With Leo's order, the deputy brains quickly sorted out more than a dozen plans, arranged in order from top to bottom.

The first solution is the Earth Federation's standard plan for dealing with multi-personality soldiers, opening up the second sub-brain, and sending all other personalities who are not the main personality into the second sub-brain to act as a sub-brain intelligence.

However, this plan was vetoed by Leo at the first time, not to mention that he didn't want to give up the personality and emotions that he was fusing now, even if he was willing to give up his own personality and emotions and return to the state of cyborgs, he couldn't open up a second brain.

Because the difficulty of opening up the second auxiliary brain far exceeds the difficulty of opening up the initial auxiliary brain, it is easy to open up the initial auxiliary brain only need to master the correct method and control the brain to a certain extent, but the opening of the second auxiliary brain requires borrowing a large number of external forces, and the most difficult external force is to carry out brain surgery, and a part of the brain is physically separated, and it is impossible to complete such an operation under the current conditions.

After vetoing the first plan, Leo continued to look for a suitable plan, but the next dozen or so plans were all standard plans of the Earth Federation, which either involved the Federation's technology, or required a lot of time and energy, and none of them were the solutions he wanted.

After searching for more than a dozen to no avail, Leo was a little impatient to ask the subbrain system to eliminate all the plans involving the Earth Federation and the unachievable ones now, and finally left only three plans that could be done with his current ability.

Looking at the general content of these three plans, Leo also rejected the two plans that required a lot of time, and finally left a plan to stabilize emotions through medicine and avoid emotions from affecting judgment.

This potion is called the Tranquility Elixir, and the prescription is recorded in the back of an old pharmacist's manual, which is an undisclosed trial potion, specially commissioned by the Wizards Association, in order to help the wizard enter a calm and clear state of mind in the shortest possible time, and will not be affected by the chaotic emotions.

It's just that at the end of the prescription, it seems that this medicine has some side effects, and if you take too much of it, it will cause bad changes in the user, and as for what the change will become, it is not mentioned above.
