Going downstairs and getting into 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, and their faces were not very good, or pale, or tired, or haggard.
As far as Long Yuehong's cognition is concerned, such a scene is definitely abnormal, because most of the residents of Qinglan District are struggling to get enough food and clothing. Suffer yourself, hold on.
It makes no sense that there are so many seriously ill people in the neighborhood.
In the blink of an eye, Long Yuehong thought of what happened to him last night and the mission of the Hunter Guild, and said in a guessing tone:
"Are these the same people who had that nightmare last night?"
"Should." Bai Chen, who was on the same side as Long Yuehong, agreed.
"I'll take a look, I'll take a look." Shang Jianyao shouted and crossed Genava and Long Yuehong.
Long Yuehong ignored this guy and said to himself:
"But last night's nightmare came to an abrupt end, and we didn't have any symptoms of dizziness, nausea, or fatigue."
"This is likely to vary from person to person." Jiang Baimian said with consideration, "We are all tried-and-true fighters with good strength and firm will. Even in a dream, relying on instinct is definitely better than green olives. Most of the residents in the district have to support for a long time, and when the 'nightmare' is scare away with the help of Xiao Chong and Teacher Du Heng, those residents are likely to be overtaken by monsters and drowned in darkness."
So there are corresponding symptoms, there is a certain discomfort.
Genova moved his metal neck up and down, and supported Shang Jianyao's body with his hands:
"There must be more people affected than the queues at the clinic. Most people face this situation and choose to support them for a day and sleep well at night to see if they can recover."
This is his judgment based on the library of human behavior patterns he has established.
Jiang Baimian gave a "um" and said to Bai Chen:
"Let's go, take a circle and go to the Ugo Hotel."
This effectively hides the fact that they live nearby.
As the jeep moved forward, several security guards in gray-blue uniforms came out of the clinic and raised their hands to signal Bai Chen to stop.
Long Yuehong hurriedly glanced at Shang Jianyao, who had just sat upright, and signaled him to prepare for "thought guidance".
Tee, Tee, Tee.
One of the security guards bent over and knocked on the glass window of the passenger seat.
The disguised Jiang Baimian pressed down the car window and asked in a pretentious manner:
"Sir, is something wrong?"
The security guard asked solemnly:
"Did you have nightmares last night
"how is it like?"
Jiang Baimian raised the corner of his mouth, took out his hunter badge and shook it:
"Sir, we saw the collective dream quest in the guild yesterday."
She didn't say that she only watched missed calls, and she didn't mention that she had nightmares and was not affected, but her actions and words made people naturally understand in the direction she wanted:
This is a group of relic hunters who took up the task and came to investigate today. They didn't live here last night, and there is no doubt that they didn't have nightmares.
The security guard who asked the question did not hide his disappointment and waved his hand:
"Don't make trouble, be calm!
"If there is any situation, report it as soon as possible!"
"Yes, sir." Jiang Baimian raised his hand in a salute with a nonchalant expression on his face, making himself act like an old fritter hunter who had been in Primal City and surrounding areas for a long time.
After she closed the car window, Bai Chen drove the jeep around the block.
On the way, in order to act realistically enough, the "Old Tune Team" stopped the vehicle from time to time and asked passersby whether they had nightmares and what kind of nightmares they had.
After only asking five people, they got three affirmative answers, and the nightmares of the three were almost identical:
In the wilderness or inside an abandoned building, hidden in the darkness, chased by monsters with bloody pale palms and alternately supporting the ground with their elbows, and finally due to lack of physical strength or unfortunate tripping, they were shrouded in cold and woke up, more or less today. A little headache and dizziness.
"It's similar to what the team leader guessed." Long Yuehong said convincingly.
Jiang Baimian looked out the window and sighed with concern:
"If only the effects of 'nightmare' stopped there..."
She was afraid that the problem would get worse and that it would eventually get out of hand.
At this time, Jeep arrived at the khaki three-story building where the Ugo Hotel was located.
As a relic hunter who came to this neighborhood to investigate the "nightmare", it was a reasonable and normal behavior to go door-to-door.
As soon as he entered the hall, Shang Jianyao sighed regretfully:
"No one is there."
The "people" here refers to boss Hugo.
In fact, there are still some scattered rooms on the first floor, and there are a few guests, so Shang Jianyao did not confirm that Boss Ugo was not there until he entered the hall and combined with the observation of the environment.
"Going to 'Real Me Teach'?" Jiang Baimian muttered to himself while suppressing his voice.
Now she can control the volume freely, without worrying that the whispers are too loud to be heard.
At this time, the front desk was empty, and the wooden door of the room connected behind was closed.
As Bai Chen looked around, two guests from the hotel came back at the door. As they walked through the hall, they rubbed their foreheads and exchanged casually:
"I thought I could get a good night's sleep after leaving the wilderness, but I had a nightmare that scared me to sleep in the second half of the night."
"Me too, maybe I've been under a lot of pressure recently. If it's still like this, I plan to go to the clinic to find a doctor to prescribe some medicine. Although it's definitely not cheap, as a relic hunter, it's more important to maintain a good state."
"I wonder if there is something abnormal in this block. The boss didn't get up in the morning and opened the door. I did it for him."
"Really? Did you drive it?"
"Of course. You came out too late. I opened the door before you arrived."
Hearing the conversation between the two hotel guests, Bai Chen's eyes flickered, and he vaguely had a bad premonition.
She hurriedly turned her eyes to Jiang Baimian, and found that the team leader's brows were also slightly wrinkled.
"Even if Boss Hugo really goes out to do business, he will not forget to open the door of the hotel." When the two guests returned to the room, Bai Chen expressed his thoughts.
Shang Jian Yao glanced at the room behind the front desk.
There the wooden door was closed, and no sound came out.
"Go and have a look." Jiang Baimian was giving orders on the surface, but he actually walked to the front desk himself.
Genova, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen dispersed naturally and entered the fighting position, ready to fire to cover their teammates.
Shang Jianyao followed behind Jiang Baimian and carefully observed her direction.
"Well, I didn't get lost." Shang Jianyao was quite relieved.
It's only a few meters away, and the target is so big that I can see it clearly, can I still get lost? Jiang Baimian tried his best to keep his expression serious.
She went around the front desk and arrived at Hugo'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 house came into her eyes:
A bed was placed against the left wall, and beside it was a log-colored table. On the table, sewing needles, old knives, jet-black whips, multiple ropes, and only a small half of candles were piled up in a mess.
The dark-skinned hotel owner, Ugo, was naked and fell on the floor on his back, his face tightly covered with a translucent blue plastic bag.
His eyes were wide open, there were signs of incontinence on his lower body, and a faint stench filled the room.
He has lost the consciousness of being human, he has lost his life.
The sadness on Jiang Baimian's face flashed, and half of his body, he said to the team members outside in a deep voice:
"Boss Hugo is dead."
died? Boss Hugo is dead? Long Yuehong was a little unacceptable.
Yesterday, the hotel owner was fine, and he promised the team leader to contact General Phokas. Why did he suddenly die today
Shang Jianyao raised his left palm and sighed:
"Namo Amatarasamyaksabodhi, may he attain ultimate bliss."
Jiang Baimian walked into the room step by step, always taking care not to damage the scene.
When Shang Jianyao arrived at the door, she squatted down and did a general inspection.
After a few minutes, Jiang Baimian straightened his back and said with some doubts:
"The cause of death was like suffocation.
"Judging from the situation at the scene, Boss Hugo put the plastic bag over his head, tied the opening tightly, and suffocated himself to death..."
As someone else, Jiang Baimian must think that this is a scene that the real murderer deliberately forged, but it happened to Ugo, and it happened to the devout believers of the 'Real Self Religion', she also thinks it is not impossible.
These people always seek to abuse themselves in various ways, hoping to feel their "true self" through similar behaviors.
It's the equivalent of dancing on the edge of a cliff, and the slightest accident can be shattered.
Without waiting for others to respond, Jiang Baimian added:
"The time of death was probably between eleven o'clock and four in the middle of the night last night."
Last night... Long Yuehong's heart moved, and she blurted out in horror:
"It can't be caused by that 'nightmare'?"
