Chapter 158: Coincidence
In a guest room on the seventh floor of the flower shop, when Leo's spiritual net swept through, although he could not detect the situation in the room due to the interference force field of the wizard's strange objects, he had an inexplicable sense of this room, and this sense could not be expressed in words, just like when he saw the hollowed out corpse, he immediately thought of sacrifice.
Leo, who found the anomaly, came to the top of the outer wall where this room was located, and looked down, only to see that there was no light in that room, there seemed to be no people, and the location was far away from the windows of other rooms.
However, it is not easy to get close to this room from the outer wall, in order to prevent people from climbing into the flower shop from the outer wall, the builders have arranged some very sensitive sensor traps on the exterior walls of the third, sixth, ninth and twelfth floors, respectively, as well as a number of defensive mechanisms composed of countless knives and saws, as well as net-like wizard objects that interfere with magic or psionic energy.
Leo looked down, and the subbrain system carefully compared the various data fed back by the spirit network, and combined a series of infiltration routes, but soon these routes were erased one by one, because no matter how you climb, there is a high chance that you will touch those induction mechanisms that have been discovered by the spirit network, and those areas that are covered by the interference force field are more difficult to avoid.
After much deliberation, Leo couldn't find a reliable way to climb and decided to use a seemingly risky approach that actually had a great chance of success.
I saw that he was standing on the edge of the outer wall of the roof, facing the direction of the wall, jumping down, and his body fell while quickly calculating the floor. When he reached the outer wall of the room where the seventh floor was located, he instantly struck, and with the heavy hitting ability of the twin fists, he inserted his fingers directly into the wall of the outer wall, tightly clasped the wall, and followed his arm like a spring to relieve the force of his body falling, and after a few small shakes, the whole person hung firmly on the outer wall of the target room.
The whole process was very fast and very light, and only when Leo's finger was inserted into the wall did there be some slight vibrations around the wall, which were not strong enough to touch a sensor mechanism not far below.
After stabilizing his body, Leo relieved himself a little bit of his overexerted and numb arm, and after almost recovering, he quickly climbed outside the room that had given him a sense of induction.
If the sensation that had been transmitted to Leo through the spirit network was only a vague feeling, now he really felt that there was something in this room that could resonate with his dream body. Because the auxiliary brain system reminded him at this time that the dream body talent had changed at this moment, there was an extra note in the originally blank explanation column, and this note was only four words, which was the power of nightmares.
Obviously, there must be a power called Nightmare Power in the room, which is sensed by the Dream Body, which also produces this similar power, and unfortunately the parabrain system doesn't seem to be able to analyze this power, so it just adds a note after the Dream Body, and the other items have not changed, and there is no way to use this power.
"Looks like you need to do your own research!" Leo was not surprised when he saw this, as he thought that as he encountered more and more mysterious things, this kind of phenomenon that the parabrain system could not analyze and digitize would happen sooner or later.
In the Earth Federation, although Leo himself has not experienced a similar situation, he has also heard that the parabrains of psionics will have some things that cannot be analyzed, mainly because the database of the parabrains is incomplete. If there is no identical or similar comparison data for an object in the database, it is difficult for the parabrain system to perform any effective analysis of the object.
Leo's secondary brain database is all based on his previous memories, and his memories have too many limitations, because of his own identity and other reasons, all kinds of knowledge he obtained from the host of the Earth Federation are only at the level of his biological weapons, even if some knowledge belongs to psionic beings, but those knowledge are only some basic public knowledge.
These basic psionic knowledge is only barely enough to analyze the wizard magic power and natural spiritual power of the Velen world, such as the analysis and sorting of spiritism is not sufficient, and many of the use skills are explored by himself, and the ability of psionic impact does not appear on the personal data interface at all, which is obviously outside of his database to analyze things.
And now the power of this nightmare is obviously beyond the level of his psionic knowledge, and the auxiliary brain system can only have a strong sense of this power according to the dream body and this power, thus putting this inanalyzable power into the name of a nightmare power.
However, the name is not useless, because Leo can tell from the name that this force has negative effects such as destruction, erosion, and chaos, otherwise the paracerebral system will give it a relatively neutral or positive name.
At the moment, Leo was not focusing on researching the new power, and the room next to him was his main purpose.
Although he had already come to the window of the room, and the lock of the window could be easily opened, Leo did not rush to open the window and enter the house, but turned on the perfect control skill to improve the hearing of both ears to the extreme, listening to the movement in the room.
After a while, after making sure that there was no one else in the room, Leo unleashed his extreme hearing and perfect control, and with a little skill, he removed the window lock, opened the window, and rolled over and jumped into the house.
The room is very clean, this kind of cleanliness is not the cleanliness of the room after the waiter in charge of sanitation in the flower shop cleans the room, but the kind of extraordinary cleanliness that people feel after the meticulous cleaning done to destroy some traces that they don't want others to know.
"Have you already left?" Leo, who saw the scene in front of him, quickly judged the situation, and did not feel any disappointment in his heart, but looked for clues in the room as usual.
The most obvious clue in this room now is undoubtedly the nightmare power that permeates the room, and Leo can clearly feel the existence of this power, but he doesn't know how to control it. It's like everyone can breathe air and know that air exists, but no one can control it by their own power.
Because of the interference of this nightmare power, Leo could not use the spirit net to carefully inspect the traces in the room, and could only check through other means, and Leo happened to be very good at these methods that did not borrow psionic energy.
According to his practice when he was still a biological weapon of the Earth Federation, he inspected the room very strictly, and found a lot of traces that could not be completely cleaned, some of these traces were left by the people who lived in this room in the past, and some were really useful clues, and these clues were picked out one by one under the analysis of the auxiliary brain system.
One of the first clues that Leo found was the corpse, where at least one corpse had been parked for so long that the smell of the corpse had permeated some of the room's furniture. However, the corpse must have been kept in perfect condition, and stored in a container filled with various embalming spices, which were so expensive that even the average aristocratic family could rarely afford them, which shows that the person who carried the corpse was very valuable.
In addition, Leo found some Turing roots on the ground, known as magic circles, which penetrated the floor like ink into wood. In order to remove these Turing roots, the people who live here even scraped off the entire floor, destroying them so completely that it is difficult for him to restore the full shape of the Turing roots.
But judging from the symbols used in some fragmented basic root connections, it should be the same method as the heat-absorbing magic circle he saw on the storage cabinet of the Twenty-third District Security Bureau, which means that this person is a wizard.
In addition, there are some clues that directly point out the physical characteristics of this person, such as the height of this person can be calculated from the span of several steps, which is about 1.78 to 1.84 meters, and it can also be seen from a few inconspicuous footsteps that this person's left leg has been injured recently, etc.
However, none of these small clues were enough for Leo to find the person, and the only clue that helped Leo was the body odor that remained in the room.
Although this person also noticed that the smell on his body was very special, so before leaving the room, he sprayed the whole room with some particularly strong smelling spice water, but he did not know that there would be a person like Leo who could find the kind of smell that belonged to him from various odors through the auxiliary brain system.
The smell is so unique that it is like the power of a nightmare, and Leo can't find a corresponding scent in the database to describe it, the only thing that is certain is that it can affect the human spirit and make people enter a kind of calm similar to deep sleep.
Leo turned these clues into data and stored them in a database to create a separate file for the parabrain system to monitor. After doing these things, Leo walked directly to the door, sensed that there was no one outside, opened the door and walked out of the room, going up to the elevator like a normal guest to leave the flower shop.
It's just that some accidents often happen inadvertently, so suddenly that even the parties involved are surprised and surprised.
On his way upstairs to meet Vitzmere, Leo inflicted a light punishment on a nobleman, using spiritism to inflict a severe blow on the man's spirit, so that the man could not control the ancestral transformation of his body, and turned into a large, fanged boar-like monster that filled the entire aisle.
Although the director of the florist immediately dispatched personnel to check the situation and began to clear the aisle, preparing to move the out-of-instinct nobleman, but the other party was not only overweight, but even the sharp teeth on his body were pierced into the wall, making it several times more difficult to move, until Leo came down from the upper floor, he was unable to clear a passageway.
When the flower shop was first built, the designer set up two passages, one directly leading to the entertainment area from the first to the fifth floor, and the other passage was specially prepared for the nobles who rented various rooms above the sixth floor, and in order to reduce safety hazards, only this passage was set up to leave, so when Leo went downstairs, many nobles were already blocked at this end of the passage.
Although there were windows in the rooms on either side of the passage, and it was possible to open the windows and climb the windows to leave, it was even more difficult to get these decent nobles to do such a thing as climbing the windows.
It was because of this trouble that Leo had inadvertently created that those who wanted to leave had to wait for the flower shop to clear the passage, and one of these waiting people was quickly noticed by Leo.
This person is about 1.83 meters tall, tall and thin, wearing a simple long trench coat, gray hair, deep eyes and high nose, wearing glasses, and looks like a personable middle-aged scholar. The reason why Leo's attention was drawn to this person was because there was a small wooden box with wheels next to him, and the small wooden box was covered with a magic circle composed of Turing roots, and this magic circle was depicted in the same way as the magic circle pattern fragment he found in the room on the seventh floor.
"What a surprise!" Leo smiled as he saw the man, he was almost certain that he was the one he was looking for.
Because of the spiritual energy attached to the box, Leo's spirit net can't detect what it contains, but judging from the size of the box, even if it's a corpse, I'm afraid it's just a child's corpse.
It's just that the box is not the basis for Leo to judge the identity of this person, and the reason why he is sure of this person's identity is actually because of the power of nightmares, a power that he can feel but does not know how to control and use.
At this moment, Leo not only felt the power of the nightmare that was wrapped around him from this person, but he could even see the nightmare power condensed into a monster phantom that looked like a wolf and swam around him with black tentacles.
I don't know if it's because of the resonance reaction with this nightmare power at close range, Leo felt some changes in his dream body.
Leo immediately called up the personal data interface, his eyes quickly swept over the item bar above, and soon saw that the psionic value was rapidly decreasing, and soon it was less than a hundred points, and at the same time, the nightmare power behind the nightmare body without any hints had a value bar similar to the spiritual value, and the largest base value was one hundred, and the daily value was slowly increasing.
When Leo was about to use the stored value to replenish the psionic value, the psionic value suddenly stopped decreasing, and before the distance changed, the psionic value had been reduced by two hundred points at this moment, and the value behind the Nightmare Power became a full value of one hundred points.
"Two psionic powers, one nightmare power. Seeing this change, Leo muttered in his heart, and his expression became a lot more serious.
While any change in the Dream Body would make Leo more aware of this passively acquired innate ability, if all of the changes were uncontrollable, then he would rather have none at all.
Now for Leo, the biggest problem is that 200 psionic points have become 100 nightmare power, but he doesn't know how to use this nightmare power, and even he can't perceive the existence of nightmare power as accurately as he perceives psionic value.
