After breakfast, the five members of the "Old Task Force" made some simple disguises, went out, and got into the gray off-road vehicle.

They planned to go to the car rental place first and exchange it for another one, so that the "Anti-intellectual Church" would no longer recognize them so easily.

Long Yuehong, in the back seat on the left, subconsciously looked out the window and noticed that there were vehicles coming and going on the road, and the surrounding shops were open as usual.

"I thought the military would take over today, with soldiers patrolling everywhere with guns," he said, not concealing his confusion.

"Have you been watching too much Old World entertainment material?" Shang Jianyao, in the back seat on the right, laughed.

Although Long Yuehong didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that he had made that judgment based on some Old World entertainment materials.

Jiang Baimian, in the passenger seat, chuckled:

"Do you think that after Fukas catches the members of the 'Anti-intellectual Church' and the people of the 'Savior Army' at Vallo's manor, he will quickly take action, contact other elders, mobilize the army, and control Vallo's faction?"

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be done swiftly and without giving the other party a chance to prepare?" Long Yuehong said what he was thinking.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"Analyze the specific situation. Maybe Fukas hasn't found enough support, maybe he doesn't want to launch a coup, maybe he really has nothing to do with the 'Anti-intellectual Church' and feels he shouldn't give in to the cult's wishes, so he chose a more stable way that is less likely to cause chaos."

Bai Chen, who was driving, also said:

"Without understanding enough information, any judgment is inaccurate."

"That's true." Long Yuehong admitted that he had indeed been misled by some Old World entertainment materials.

At this moment, Genava suddenly asked:

"Won't you get angry because of this? Because everyone keeps denying your views."

"Isn't this normal..." Long Yuehong suddenly faltered, then laughed, "No one can guarantee that their views are always correct."

"But you can..." Shang Jianyao didn't finish his sentence before he saw Jiang Baimian, who had turned her body, giving him a look.

Genava moved his metal neck up and down:

"I see."

He seemed to be establishing a new observation sample of human behavior patterns.

The vehicle drove at a moderate speed, turning from a street that the "Old Task Force" had never been to before into the Qing Olive District.

This time, they switched to a dark red, but ruggedly styled, off-road vehicle.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Jiang Baimian immediately saw the owner, Ugo, whose hair was slightly blonde and skin slightly dark with a few wrinkles, sitting at the front desk, eating black bread with plain water.

"Don't you get tired of eating almost the same thing every day?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

Ugo looked up at him, and replied without much emotional fluctuation:

"Most people in the Ashlands are lucky to have anything to eat."

"But you are not most people," Shang Jianyao said with a smile, not taking offense.

Ugo's gaze swept over Bai Chen and the others:

"I used to be."

He expressed his meaning succinctly:

This was a habit formed from previous difficult times.

Jiang Baimian didn't let Shang Jianyao continue the topic, and asked casually:

"Have there been any 'Heartless Disease' cases recently?"

"No, you can move back in," Ugo said calmly.

So this "Heartless Disease" epidemic remained at just a few days with nearly ten cases... Jiang Baimian sighed and got to the point:

"Mr. Ugo, do you remember when we last came back?"

"I remember," Ugo didn't say a single extra word.

Jiang Baimian asked seriously:

"Did you notice anyone following us at that time?"

"Yes," Ugo replied again with a single word.

Yes... Long Yuehong suddenly felt pleasantly surprised.

They really found a clue with the owner, Ugo!

"Did you see clearly what kind of person it was?" Bai Chen, who was most familiar with Ugo, asked further.

Ugo glanced at the door:

"The follower didn't get out of the car. He was driving a dark green modified off-road vehicle. After you came in, he parked the car further away. As soon as you went out, got in the car, and left, he started the car again and followed behind."

"Further away... how did you notice?" Long Yuehong asked curiously.

According to team leader and Shang Jianyao, the owner, Ugo, was at the front desk at the time and could only see the area corresponding to the door.

Ugo looked at him:

"I have surveillance installed at the door."

"..." Long Yuehong didn't expect this answer.

"Technology changes lives," Shang Jianyao praised while clapping his hands.

Clap clap clap, Genava deeply agreed with this and echoed by clapping his hands.

Jiang Baimian resisted the urge to cover her face and pleaded with the hotel owner:

"Mr. Ugo, can we take a look at that surveillance footage?"

Ugo was about to answer when his expression suddenly changed slightly, and the muscles on his face seemed to be a little distorted.

"I need to go to the bathroom first," he said very quickly.

As he spoke, he had already stood up and hurried to the room behind the front desk, without waiting for Jiang Baimian and the others to respond.

"Well, everyone has urgent needs," Shang Jianyao said, expressing his understanding.

Then, he asked loudly:

"Do you need me to help you watch?"

Bang!

Ugo opened the door, rushed in, and responded with a heavy door slamming sound.

Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong looked at each other, all a little confused.

The next moment, Jiang Baimian recalled the panting sounds she had heard coming from the room in front of her, the beast-like panting sounds.

"Recurring illness?" she said in a self-talking volume.

Of course, her self-talk was enough for Shang Jianyao and the others to hear clearly.

"Maybe he really couldn't hold it in suddenly," Shang Jianyao argued for Ugo.

Thinking that Ugo was in the room behind the front desk, Long Yuehong gave up arguing with Shang Jianyao.

After two or three minutes, the closed wooden door opened.

Ugo walked out slowly, his slightly blonde hair slightly damp, as was his old linen shirt.

His face was a little pale, and his overall condition was not very good.

"I have a problem with my digestive system," Ugo explained casually.

"I knew it," Shang Jianyao said with a look of relief.

He then suggested:

"Do you need to see a doctor? Do you need any special medicine?"

Ugo shook his head:

"Chronic illness, it's nothing."

Jiang Baimian didn't speak, and kept quietly observing.

She found that the state of the owner, Ugo, was getting better little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, and just now seemed like just an interlude.

"You can watch the surveillance now," Ugo took out a rather old portable computer from under the counter, connected the lines skillfully, and turned it on.

After finding the surveillance video, he put the computer on the front desk wooden board and turned it around, facing Jiang Baimian and others.

In the picture, a dark green off-road vehicle followed the gray off-road vehicle driven by Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, drove into the surveillance area, and kept a certain distance from them.

"Yes, we were driving that gray car at the time, and Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong also drove it when they were picking us up," Jiang Baimian found another point of connection.

As she spoke, as the gray off-road vehicle stopped outside the hotel, the dark green vehicle, which had obviously been modified, pulled over to the side of the street.

The sides of this car seemed to have dark-colored film on them, making it impossible to see who was inside.

But the surveillance camera did capture the windshield.

It could be vaguely seen that there was only one person in the car, wearing a baseball cap pulled very low and wearing black clothes.

After Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao left the hotel, started the gray off-road vehicle, and drove a distance, this car also restarted and followed behind.

"No license plate," Long Yuehong thought of the mature license plate system in the Old World and felt a pang of regret.

If there was a license plate, the "Old Task Force" could follow the clues.

Unfortunately, in the Beginning City, there were many relic hunters coming and going, and the scrap rate of vehicles was also very high. Managing traffic by issuing license plates was not only troublesome but also not very practical. Therefore, the administrators did not force all vehicles to have license plates, but left it entirely to their own will.

As for what to do if people without license plates violated traffic rules, the answer in the Beginning City was to equip the traffic police with strong firepower. Anyone who dared to mess around would receive one warning, a second shot, and a third bombing.

Of course, similar proposals often appeared in the Council of Elders, such as requiring every foreign vehicle to pay a certain fee at the entrance to the city and receive a temporary license plate. But the problem was that this could not form a linkage with the vehicle owner and lacked practical significance - many foreign vehicle owners were not citizens of the Beginning City, had no identity here, and even if they reported their names, no one could prove whether they were true or false.

To do this well, the most convenient way was to cooperate with the Hunter Guild and obtain the corresponding registration information, but the Council of Elders of the Beginning City had always refused to bow its head.

For them, the reason why this matter often had proposals was because they could take the opportunity to collect a sum of money, which was equivalent to a disguised entry tax.

After carefully watching the surveillance video, Jiang Baimian didn't find any useful clues for the time being, so she raised her head and asked the owner:

"Mr. Ugo, can we copy this video?"

"Just consider it as the room fee for the nights you didn't stay," Ugo nodded.

Genava immediately stepped forward and began to operate.

At this time, Shang Jianyao asked about another matter:

"How is Ms. Mary doing now?"

Jiang Baimian immediately helped him add:

"The one whose child got the 'Heartless Disease'."

Ugo replied calmly:

"I could still see her the day before yesterday, but she's been gone for the past two days.

"In the Qing Olive District, most people have a little difficulty supporting themselves, and a crazy woman can't last for many days."

He paused and said again:

"I hope she left this painful world in a relatively easy way."

Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and others immediately fell silent.
