Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Well, since we hadn't been gone long, the stone bench was still warm, and we didn't find anything suspicious when we checked the area around it.

The empty beverage bottle was casually thrown into the trash can, and after scooping it out, no valuable items were found.

"Sniff..."

"Hmm, it has a very faint fragrance."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone take these things back and check them."

One call, and ten minutes later, the table, chairs, and even the trash can were all moved away.

Meanwhile, eight other people cautiously followed behind An Ran.

They went in this direction!

That's right, it's a hovering station.

The group exchanged glances.

"Hey, hover station, get ready, the target is coming."

An Ran was indeed going to the hover station, but she didn't go voluntarily. Instead, the deputy stationmaster she had met before sent her a private message to contact her.

The transfer of the spacecraft has been approved. That's all.

An Ran walked into the house she had been in before, surrounded by a group of people.

As expected, it was very lively.

Besides the deputy station chief and the officer from before, there were more than a dozen other people in the room. They didn't pay attention to An Ran, who came in later, but focused their attention on the deputy station chief.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, I won't waste any more time. After some consideration, the higher-ups decided it's not appropriate to have your spaceships parked at the hovering station. Therefore, all the spaceships here will be moved to another location and managed by our people," the deputy station chief said.

Where should we move to?

"You'll find out when you get to your destination."

"You can't even say this?"

"Don't worry, everyone. It's a relatively safe place. Moving the spaceship there will be good for us and good for you too," the officer said, stepping forward and gesturing for them to stop.

“I have no objection,” An Ran agreed first. “However, after the spaceship is moved, will you have transportation back? I have things to do here.”

"what?"

"what?"

"..."

Everyone stared at An Ran in surprise.

Their identities had already been questioned by the expeditionary force, so saying things like this now was just asking for trouble...

wrong!

A flash of inspiration crossed the minds of those who were paying attention.

It's more accurate to say this is a strategic retreat; while the area around the hovering station is "dangerous," it's also quite "safe." If one's identity is truly innocent, placing oneself under increased surveillance is a way of proving one's innocence.

That makes sense, that makes sense!

"..."

glance right and left.

Ella also looked around, both left and right.

I didn't think that much about it. Don't try to understand my actions like you're doing reading comprehension. I just wanted to come back and kidnap that dark-skinned little girl.

As for surveillance or not, once war breaks out, who can control her? As long as the spaceship isn't targeted, everything will be fine.

However, after scanning the area, An Ran realized that although she wasn't a spy for Night Owl, she might already be surrounded by Night Owl's spies, and everyone looked like one.

"How about it?"

In the darkness, several people were gathered in a circle, and a man in a trench coat asked a question.

"I feel like everyone looks like it," someone said with a wry smile. "On the contrary, this one doesn't seem quite right."

The person he was pointing at was An Ran.

Zhen Jill is a real headache.

The head of the inspection team is having a huge headache. Before these people do anything outrageous, even professionals will have a hard time figuring things out.

Therefore, espionage is a real headache.

He couldn't quite figure out what Lieutenant General Kipling was thinking. During the previous internal purge, anyone with even a hint of suspicion was dismissed, imprisoned, and awaited further investigation. But now, when cracking down on Night Owl's agents, he showed a completely different approach, unwilling to condemn them outright even if he had doubts.

It's just a few people. Even if we kill the wrong person, will anyone dare to say anything?

"Hey……"

"What are you sighing about? We're just working down here, so we just need to follow orders from above. If you could so easily figure out what a lieutenant general is thinking, you wouldn't still be just a section chief."

"you're right."

Afterwards, the spacecraft were moved to a location more than 1200 kilometers away from the hovering station. More than a dozen spacecraft were parked together in a flat and wide open space, with a defensive line set up around them, as if some people had been deployed to guard them long ago.

The defenses weren't very strong, but the terrain around the open area was rather rugged, and who knows if there were any people hiding there.

Compared to some people who were still very unhappy, An Ran was quite happy, but she didn't show it.

She figured there must be Night Owl agents among them, so parking her Anran alongside his ship should protect her from extraterrestrial bombing.

"Are you all really going back to Yuanjiang Town?"

Yuanjiang Town is the city where the dark-skinned loli lives. It is an administrative town, but due to its proximity to the hover station, its overall development is in no way inferior to that of large cities.

“Mm.” An Ran nodded along with the others.

"Alright, then don't blame me for not warning you." The escorting officer waved his hand.

An Ran followed him onto a frigate.

As expected of a 300-meter-long frigate, it exudes an imposing and powerful aura even when standing at the entrance. The door is engraved with the Empire's black five-petaled flower emblem. Once inside, the spacious interior made An Ran think that she should have a spaceship this big!

"It's already dark."

There are hardly any people on the streets during the day, let alone at night.

"Let's go see if any hotels are still open. If not, we'll have to sleep outside for the night," An Ran said.

“Okay, no problem! We can play games all night!” Ella held up the controller in her hand.

"That's right, it'll be perfect for finishing Starship Troopers 11 in one go!"

Anran gently ruffled Ella's hair, which had been dyed black.

The faces of the guys following behind immediately darkened.

At this point, all they could do was pray that Anran and Ella would find a hotel that was still open.

We've been playing Starship Troopers 11 all night, please forgive us! We're already tired of seeing the 108 ways warriors can die in this episode!

Hey sis, if you really are a Night Owl agent, you'd better hurry up and do something!

Otherwise, watching TV shows is more enjoyable than playing games!

The street was fairly bright under the streetlights, and two long shadows were pressed tightly together.

On the way to find a hotel, we inevitably passed by the dark-skinned loli's house.

Just then, I spotted the dark-skinned little girl peering out of the second-floor window, probably trying to make sure no one was coming to burn down her house.

The room was dimly lit by candlelight; if An Ran hadn't had such good eyesight, the dark-skinned loli would have blended perfectly into the night.

She also saw An Ran.

They had just met during the day and had argued with the short one. Could they be here to get revenge?

Thinking of this, the dark-skinned loli gripped the kitchen knife in her hand tightly.

snort!

When they get fierce, they'll cut them all down, leaving no one alive!

While waving to the dark-skinned loli, An Ran casually tossed a tiny bee-like detector onto the ground, a move unnoticed by her pursuers.

Maybe she could play the hero and save the little girl, beat up the people who tried to burn down the house, increase her favorability, and then kidnap the dark-skinned little girl.

Speaking of favorability, Anran's current favorability with the dark-skinned loli is 3, which is the level of strangers.

A hotel, a hotel that is currently open for business.

After walking for several kilometers without seeing any hotels open, Anran was just about to grab a tent and throw it on the ground when she finally found a regular hotel in an alley that cost fifty yuan a night.

"Give me a double..."

"A single room, Auntie!" Ella raised her hand to get the auntie's attention.

That makes sense.

It's perfectly normal for her to sleep with Ella; no one would think she's a pervert.

"Then let's have a single room."

"Room 103, 50 pence."

The aunt yawned; single mothers with unplanned pregnancies were indeed very stingy. She handed the keys to Anran.

After a moment, two men walked in from outside.

"Boss lady, please open room 105," said the more robust-looking one.

"Okay... wait a minute." The landlady looked at the two men with a strange expression. "Are you sure you only want to book room 105?"

“One room is enough,” the shorter man said with a smile.

"Alright then." The proprietress nodded. "Remember not to get the sheets too dirty. Replacing them is expensive, and my small shop can't afford to lose that money."

"Alright, alright, boss lady, stop nagging. We're experienced enough to know what's what," the burly man said.

"50 piezos".

The proprietress took out the key.

Watching the two men walk away, she couldn't help but think to herself, "It's normal for a single mother to book a single room, but for two grown men dressed in expensive clothes to book a single room is just..."
