Chapter 78 Follow-up

After getting off the stairs and getting on the car, Long Yuehong looked at the situation on the street through the rear glass window.

He saw a dozen people lined up outside a civilian clinic not far away, with their faces not very good, either pale, tired, or haggard.

As far as Long Yuehong's perception is concerned, this situation is absolutely abnormal, because most of the residents in the Green Olive District are struggling on the food and clothing line. They are not particularly ill and will definitely not choose to see a doctor. They would rather be hit by yourself and hold on.

But there is no reason why so many people who are seriously ill have suddenly appeared in the nearby neighborhood.

As his thoughts turned around, Long Yuehong thought of his experience last night and the mission of the Hunter Guild, and said in a guessing tone:

"These are the people who had that nightmare last night?"

"It should." Bai Chen, who was on the same side as Long Yuehong, agreed.

"Let's see, let's see." Shang Jianyao shouted and pushed his body across Gnava and Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong ignored this guy and said to himself:

"But the nightmare came to an abrupt end last night, and we didn't have symptoms of dizziness, nausea, or fatigue."

"This may vary from person to person." Jiang Baimian said carefully, "We are all tried and tested warriors, with good strength and firm will. Even in dreams, relying on instincts, it will definitely last longer than most residents of the Green Olive District. When we waited for the help of Xiaochong and Du Heng to scare away the "nightmare". Those residents are likely to be caught up by monsters before this and are submerged in darkness."

So I had corresponding symptoms and felt a certain amount of discomfort.

Gnava moved the metal-cast neck up and down, and held Shang Jianyao's body with his hands:

"There are definitely more affected than those queuing at the clinic. Most people will choose to support this day and have a good night's sleep at night to see if they can recover."

This is a judgment based on the library of human behavior patterns he has established.

Jiang Baimian said "yes" and said to Bai Chen:

"Let's go, go around and go to the Ugo Hotel."

This can effectively conceal the fact that they live nearby.

As the Jeep was moving forward, several security guards in gray-blue uniforms came out of the clinic and raised their hands to signal Bai Chen to stop the car.

Long Yuehong hurriedly glanced at Shang Jianyao who had just sat down and signaled him to prepare for "thinking guidance".

Dear, dear, dear.

One of the security officers bent down and knocked on the glass window at the passenger seat.

Jiang Baimian, who was disguised, pressed the car window and asked nervously:

"Sir, is there anything wrong?"

The sheriff asked seriously:

“Did you have nightmares last night?

“What’s it like?”

Jiang Baimian raised his mouth and took out his hunter badge and shook it:

"Sir, we saw the task of collective dreams in the guild yesterday."

She didn't say that she only looked at the missed answer, nor did she mention that she had a nightmare and was not affected, but her actions and words made people naturally understand the direction she wanted:

This is a group of ruin hunters who took on the mission and came to investigate today. They did not live here last night and undoubtedly did not have nightmares.

The security guard who asked the question did not hide his disappointed expression and waved:

"Don't cause trouble, be more at ease!

"I'll inform you as soon as possible if you have any situation!"

"Yes, sir." Jiang Baimian raised his hand and bowed indifferently, making himself look like an old fried dough hunter who had been hiding in the city and surrounding areas for a long time.

After she closed the car window, Bai Chen drove his jeep and walked around the block.

On the way, in order to play the role of the "old tuner team" stopped the vehicles from time to time and asked passers-by to see if they had nightmares or what kind of nightmares they had.

After asking only five people, they got three positive answers, and the nightmares of these three were almost the same:

In the wilderness or abandoned buildings, monsters with bloody and pale palms and alternately supporting the ground with their elbows, finally stumbled by the cold and woke up. Today, they had a headache or dizziness.

"It's similar to what the team leader speculated." Long Yuehong said in conscience.

Jiang Baimian looked out the window and sighed with a little worry:

“It would be great if the impact of ‘nightmare’ would only end here…”

She was afraid that the problem would become more and more serious and would eventually be out of control.

At this time, Jeep arrived at the small, yellow three-story building where the Ugo Hotel is located.

As a ruin hunter who came to this neighborhood to investigate "nightmare", it is very reasonable and normal to ask door-to-door questions.

As soon as he entered the hall, Shang Jianyao sighed regretfully:

"No one is here."

The "people" here refer to Boss Ugo.

There were actually some scattered rooms on the first floor, and there were several guests living in it. So, Shang Jianyao did not confirm that Boss Ugo was not there until he entered the hall and combined with his observation of the environment.

"Go to the 'True Self-Chasing'?" Jiang Baimian pressed his voice and said to himself.

Now she can control the volume freely without worrying about being heard by whispering too loudly.

At this time, the front desk was empty, and the wooden door of the room connected to the back was closed.

Bai Chen looked around and saw two hotel guests coming back at the door. They walked through the hall and rubbed their foreheads and communicated casually:

"I thought I could have a good sleep after leaving the wilderness, but I had a nightmare, which scared me so much that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night."

"Me too, maybe because I'm under great pressure recently. If this is still the case later, I plan to go to the clinic to find a doctor to prepare some medicine. Although this is definitely not cheap, as a ruin hunter, it is more important to maintain a good condition."

"I doubt if something was wrong with this neighborhood. The boss didn't get up in the morning and opened the door. Or did I do this for him."

"Is that? Did you drive it?"

"Of course. It's too late for you to come out. I opened the door before you arrived."

When Bai Chen heard the conversation between the two guests staying in the hotel, his eyes flashed and he had a vague premonition.

She hurriedly turned her gaze to Jiang Baimian and found that the team leader's brows were also slightly frowning.

"Even if Boss Ugo really goes out to do business, he won't remember to open the hotel door." When the two guests returned to the room, Bai Chen expressed his thoughts.

Shang Jianyao looked at the room behind the front desk.

The wooden doors there were closed and no sound came out.

"Go and have a look." Jiang Baimian was giving orders on the surface, but in fact he was walking to the front desk himself.

Gnava, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen naturally dispersed and entered the combat position. They could open fire to cover their teammates at any time.

Shang Jianyao followed Jiang Baimian and carefully observed her direction.

"Well, I'm not lost." Shang Jianyao was quite pleased.

Just a few meters away, and the goal is so big that I can see clearly. Can I still get lost? Jiang Baimian tried hard to keep his expression serious.

She walked around the front desk and arrived at Ugo's room, then stretched out her right palm and twisted the handle.

The wooden door slowly retreated, Jiang Baimian's nose twitched, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

As the door opened, the scene inside the room completely caught her eye:

A bed is placed against the left wall, next to it is a wooden table with sewing needles, old knives, black whips, multiple ropes and candles that are only half a piece left.

The hotel owner, Wugo, who was dark-skinned, had his upper body naked, leaned back on the floor, and his face was tightly covered with a translucent blue plastic bag.

His eyes were wide open, and there were traces of incontinence on his lower body, and a faint stench filled the room.

He no longer has the consciousness that belongs to humans, and he has lost his own life.

The sadness on Jiang Baimian's face flashed, and half of his body said in a deep voice to the team members outside:

"Boss Ugo is dead."

Dead? Boss Ugo is dead? Long Yuehong is a little unacceptable.

Yesterday, the hotel owner was fine and agreed to the team leader to contact General Focas. Why did he suddenly die today?

Shang Jianyao raised his left palm and sighed:

"Namo Aphratara Samyaksambodhi, may he reach the Pure Land."

Jiang Baimian walked into the room step by step, always paying attention not to damage the scene.

When Shang Jianyao arrived at the door, she squatted down and checked roughly.

After a few minutes, Jiang Baimian straightened his back and said in confusion:

“The cause of death is like suffocation.

"From the scene, Boss Ugo put the plastic bag on his head, tied it tightly to his mouth, and suffocated himself to death..."

If it were someone else, Jiang Baimian would definitely think that this was a scene that was deliberately forged by the real murderer, but it happened to Ugo and the devout believers of the "True Self-Section", and she felt that it was not impossible.

These people always pursue various ways to abuse themselves, hoping to feel the "true self" through similar behaviors.

This is equivalent to dancing on the edge of a cliff, and you may be crushed to pieces if you are surprised.

Without waiting for other people to respond, Jiang Baimian added:

"The death time was probably between 11:00 and 4:00 last night."

Last night... Long Yuehong's heart moved and blurted out in fear:
Chapter completed!
